A Junior Membef of the Firm an Utopian Joure nalist—Considering Himself a Little Jay Gould He Plunges Heavily—The Crisis Past and the Market Firmer. By Tolegraph to the Post-Dispatch. New YORK, August 16.—Operators*on Wall . Street yesterday displayed much more confidence, , and throughout the day a better feeling prevailed. it was the opinion, generaily expressed, that the crisis has passed, and that the market will here- after be firmer. The only failure announced was that of E. C. Stedman & Co., bankers and brokers. While this suspension did not cause the excite ment in the stock market that followed the failure of Ballou & Co. the day before, the circumstances leading to it were more dra- matic and the news of the misfortune befalling the firm will draw forth much sympathy for the head of the firm. The letter which announced the failure to the Stock Ex change was read BY MR. STEDMAN HIMSELF from the rostrum to the assembled brokers amid expressive silence. This was the third failure of the week, but it had no effect on the stock mar- ket, though the firm has stood high and tne liabili- ties were reported large. The mar«et all day was strong and higher,whether on account of restored confidence or because of a combined effort on the part of the leaders, accounts differ. Fifty-three active securities advanced from %%, to 4 per cent. Only five securities declined, the most important of which was Western Union, which was under the depressing influence of the strike and the increased strength imparted into. the Post Telegraph Company BY THE ELECTION OF JOHN W. MACKEY as director. The suspension of Stedman was re- celved by the entire street with universal expres- sions of regret and sympathy, and Mr. Stedman was overwhelmed with offers of aid in his time of need. One large capitalist 1s understood to have offered him $500,000, but this and the others were declined The firm was composed of E. C, Sted- man and his son, Frederick 8. Stedman. Their offices are on the third floor of No. 32 Broad street. The firm did a large banking and brokerage business. Mr. Stedman has been in business on the street ever since 1865, and has been a member of the Exchange since 1867. He was also a member of the Chicago Board of Trade. His reputation on the street has been that of an honorable and conscientious man of business. His business acquaintance was large and HIS POPULARITY WAS GREAT among those who appreciated his business abil- ity and literary talents. The present firm was organized in 1869 as the successor of Stedman & Nichols. Besides Mr. Stedman the other partners were Edward P. Seimser and E,; R,. MclIvaine, who retired in 1872. Two years ago Mr, Stedman admitted his son as his partner. But it is chiefly by bis literary labors that Mr. Stedman is known. His poems and other writings have a widespread circulation. He was a war. cor- respondent of the World, and was also connected with the Tribune for several years. He has been quite PROLIFIC IN HIS LITERARY LABORS, and is a Gonstant contributor to the Century and other leading iodicais. Mr. Stedman ig re- ported to have been worth between $100,000 an 200,000, The frm. , an -assigument te’ aes MeGinnis o ome Fearing Walsh, ose the following preferences: Mrs. Jennie CU. Jroley $1,000, Mrs. Emma E. West $2,000, Miss L. E. Perkins $1,000. Mr. E. C. Stedman was found at his office late in the afternoon ina state of extreme nervousness. He appeared like a man almost at his wits’ end. Conversing with’ the reporter, he paced the floor restlessly. He was laboring un- der intense excitement. “I don’t know as I have much to say,” he said. ‘“‘The cause of my sus- sension is given in the letter to the Stock Ex- anes. lam now inthe dark as to my affairs, I have been pursting a very conservative policy, AND, AS I THOUGHT, a very safe one. This discovery took me complete- ly by surprise, and coming just atthe present crisis it was of course disastrous. I have had sufiicient means offered me to continue in busi- ness, and my friends have overwhelmed me with their generous offers of aid, but of course I do not feel at wn to aecept any under the cir- cumstances, cause I do not want anybody else to have a hand in my business. Among the many offers of assist- ance which I have received was one from A FORMER CLERK of mine, who offered me $30,000. All of my Stock Exchange obligations have been cleared up, dol- lar for dollar, and Ihave done this ata great sacrifice of securities, amounting from $40,000 to $50,000. I own securities amounting to much more, which Lought tohave inmy possession, but which I have not got.” “Have you anything tosay astothe circum- stances leading co your failure?” ‘No; not a word about that.” “Did your late partner cause it?’’ “He was led,’ Mr. Stedman replied, “into transactions which he deeply regrets. Those transactions were unwarrantabie and dis- honorable.” *Will you hold your son accountable under the law for his fault?’ “No, nothing of that kind.” Young Stedman’s losses aggregated about $125,000. Hehadtradea on his own name en- tirely, but Mr. Stedman’s sense of honor led him to make his son’s debts his own. It is hoped that the firm will be able to recover itself and re- sume business. At the firm of Cecil, Ward & Co., No.36 New street, a POST-DISPATCH representative learned from Mr. George W. Cecil and L. M. Cornish, members of the firm, and Mr. H. A. Root, its at- torney, the story of YOUNG STEDMAN'S SPECULATION. This information was imparted frankly and quite fully after the reporter had given assuranc- es that Stedman & Co. had admitted the young man’s transactions with theiffirm. In announc- ing their own failure they had not given up the name of their defaulting customer,as they desired to shield Mr. Stedman. The story that they tell is substantially as follows: Young Stedman’s transactions with Cecil, Ward & Co., Gate back to December ’80 last. He had before that been friendly with both Mr. Cecil and Mr, Cornish. He dealt in almost every security on the list and his holdings were often very large. He speculated recklessly and without proper judgiment. He tovuk ‘points’ from sharpers in. the employ of bi operators and whose business isto get the reckless to buy when the operators wanted to sell. If a person in his hear- ing said that such and such a stock was going two points higher, he would immediately make a pur- chase. when, like as not, the stock declined, “He thought he was A LITTLE JAY GOULD,” said one ofthe firm. He had big financial theo- ories. When the firm advised to sell out and be prepared for a crisis, he replied: “‘My dear sir, don’t talk to me about disaster. You don’t seem to a the glorious condition of commerce. Look at the facts: Tne agriculture of the country was never so prosperous. The’ produe- tion is enormous and Europe is wait- ing for our products.” He maintained that stocks were going to advance from 5 to 15 per cent, and that an era of prosperity would set in such as Was never dreamed of. The firm begged him to get out of the market, but he still con- tinued to go “long.” He, of course, lost heavily, but he continued to make his margins, but the last heavy decline swamped him. The firm loses about one hundred and twenty five thousand doliars by his failure to respond to the calls upon him, and it is claimed that but for his delinquency the firm would not have failed. IN ORDER TO PREVENT HIS FATHER from knowing about the extent of his operations had one account with the firm ess. An- account. He of confused matters, however, Sal ta bats ali Rie papete--requiriar’ clenebuna made out i hames int r to ! hs n order to avoid ais- | pee Sees prompt in de- securities, promising to return them _be- fore night, and this he always did. On Monday Mr. Steaman was in the office and possessed him- self of $50,000 worth of securities in the safe. He returned later and asked for the rest, promising to return them. THIS HE FAILED TO Do. The firm sent a boy around to Stedman’s office, He returned with the intelligence that the old man had got the securities and refused to give them = The firm have in the bank $18,000 of young Stedman’s securities, which are held to ®over his debts. Very little additionai information could be obtained yesterday concerning the suspension of George - Ballou & Co. Mr, ae Bingham, a member of the firm, said that the Boston partners had arrived and that a consultation had been held. No accurate esti- mate of losses could be obtained. That given in ythe World yesterday ($750,000) was about the fig- ure. The statement that the losses would amount to $1,500,000 was preposterous. The firm had dis- covered that they were in a better position than they supposed. Some of the stocks sold for them on Tuesday were at a profit. “lt was as if the firm had been a.bull house alone,” said Mr. Bing- ham. “Some of the stocks sold short were aia profit, and the firm thus RECOVERED CONSIDERABLY from its losseson the long account.” Mr. Bing- ham said that no statement of the firm’s af- fairs could be prepared —before two or three days. Mr. Baliou had placed his affairs in the hands of his lawyers, Alvin Burt, of No, 12 Wall street, and J. W. Simpson of Alexander & Green. A Post-DISPATCH representative who called upon a number of down town bankers and brokers yes- terday, found the general opinion to be that the crisis in the market has been reached and passed and that there was no cause for any apprehension . to e4 speedy recovery of the business of the street, DR. P. D. YOST DEAD. He Jumps from a Window in a Fit of Delirium. ee ee EP A Week's Sickness With Typhoid Fever Leads to the Fatal Leap, A telephone message received at the office of the Chief of Police at 4:10 this p. m. gave information of the tragic death ee Ae D. Yost at his residence No. 3215 Pine street. It seems that the doctor, ‘who had been sick some time. became delirious with fever this afternoon, and while in this excited. mental condition Baped from one of the upper windows of his house. The fall killed him instantly. The leap was made a few minutes before the telephone no- tified the police of the terrible affair, and the Coroner, who was communicated with, started for the house immediately. The lateness of the hour and the meagerness of thie detaiis prevents the Post-DISPATCH from presenting the details of the tragedy. All that was positively known down town, where the news spread rapidly and was a matter of the greatest regret to the Doctor’s personal friends, was that he met his death in the awful manner indicated, the nature of his injuries not even being known. Dr. Yost had a large practice here, and was for some years connected with the American Medical College on Eleventh street. He preceded Dr. A. c. Robinson as Examining Physician of the Board of Health, His wife lias always been prominent in Woman ~Suftrage = agtiation, and also has taken leadmg ~o»part ino |* great many religious enterprisés. “ information developed the fact that Dr. Yost~- had been confinea to bed with typhoid fever for the past week, and this afternoon while the attendants were absent from the room he walked to the win- dow and jumped out, The first information the family had of the tragedy was from acrowd inthe street who began shout- ing and otherwise called attention to the man lying in a dying condition on the pavement, SUPPOSED POISONING. Emma Taylor Dies Under Suspicious Cir- cumstances This Afternoon. Dr. Witte this afternoon notified the Coroner that Emma Taylor, a_ colored wo- man, died under very suspicious circum- stances at No. 3305 Hickory street, It is supposed that the girl took poison, but whether with suicidal intent, or owing to her delicate condition, is not known, Dr. Witte was called in and _ =e dis- covered unmistakable signs of poisoning. The physician did all in his power to relieve the girl, but she died a few moments later. A NEGRO RIOT. Howling Negresses Mob Three White Wom- en for Flirting With Their Husbands, By Telegraph tothe Post-Dispatch. TRENTON, August 16,—There was quite a riot this morning in the negro district in the Second Ward. It seemed as if every nezro and negress in the city was on the street. The yells of the former and screams of the latter lent terror to the spectacle. Hatless and coatless the men rushed about like mad, and the women followed in the throng, Cries of “Knife ’em!” and “break their heads!” were heard on every hand, and bricks flew through the air. At one moment the crowd woula surge about the row of frame rookeries on Willow street below West Hauover, and then would break off on a run through some of the adjoining alleys. The only white people were three women, who were fugitives from the angry mob. These wom- en had been having a carousal with John Sander- son and two other negroes in Sanderson’s house. Mrs. Sanderson suddenly discovered them. San- derson jumped out of a window. The white women followed, closely pursued by a howling crowd of negresses, The sereams on both sides at once brought out the whole colored populatien. The women were beaten and had their clothes torn off their backs, but finally escaped into a stylish billiar@ parlor. A squ of policemen then ar- rived, fter driving back the mob they arrested Kate Smith and two colored females who led the attack. All werelocked up. The two negresses were held for trial and Kate Smith was released. THE POSTAL TELEGRAPH, John W. Mackay, the California Million- aire, Elected Director of the Company. .

WASHINGTON, D. C., August 13.—A letter re- ceived’ from an official ot the Monocacy, the United States steamer which conveyed Minister Foote to Corea, gives some very interesting facts about the people of that strange country, the cer- emonies attending upon the arrival of the party there, and the exchange of the treaty for tnat of the Corean Gevernment. As the worla knows less of Corea than any other nation, and as the United States was the first to penetrate the veil of mystery which has enveloped that country, the report of what was seen there is the more inter- esting. “The landing of the party,” he says, “was not an imposing spectacle, according to modern ideas, as the rise and fail of the tide (thirty feet) leaves a wide mud flat exposed at low water. The party had to be carried ashore on the backs of the men. Fortunately none of the party wore unt- forms, so the crowds of natives were spared the ridiculous sight of an officer in brass buttons and sword astride a sailor man. Tehimulsoo, as the rot gy at Roge Island is cailed, is the port of Seoul, and is destined to be the most important eee On the west coast. At present it consists Ol a FEW WRETCHED COREAN HOVELS and a number of Japanese stores, with a tempor- ary headquarters of the Japanese soldiers. A con- cession has already been granted to the Japanese on which they will erect a consulate costing 50,008 yen. The party when en-route was to all eyes, both native and foreign, most picturesque. Min- ister Foote rode at the head of the procession in a suiall caryed chair ot black wood, with the official tiger skin covering the seat. He was carried by eight coolies and surrounded by a number of po- licemen and supernumeraries. The remaining chairs were of the simplest type, but considered as engines of torture they were complete. They consist of light wooden boxes, rest- ing each on short poles carried by two men. They are open in front and have two small win- (lows in the sides. They have no seats other than the bottom of the box. The poles are very short, aud the leading man obstructs the view and air, as he carries them in his hands, and not over his shoulders, as do the Chinese. The day was warm and so were the coolies, and the combination made it so for the unfortunate occupant of the chair. Add to the above discomforts the fact that every few minutes the two relief coolies would sass a stick sidewise under the chair and raise it ody about afoot. If the stick was forward of the Genter of gravity they slid the unfortunate well back, but if it chanced to be abaft that tery they almost fired him out. His condition is st described by the French word ‘‘malheuneux,”’ meaning. literaily, “the unhappy.” But in Corea chairs are luxuries not to be overlooked, as‘only high officials may ride in them, A few of the party rode on horses, but the TORTURE OF A COREAN SADDLE is only a step removed from a chair, so that the condition of the party ean be imagined when they arrived at Seoul, twenty-three miles as the crow flies but more than thirty by the trail. After crossing the Salee River the Minister was met b the Governor of the province and Herr Von Mol- lendorff. Concerning the last named personage ihere is much of interest to be said. A German by birth and education, the last twenty years of his life have been spent in China. Six months since, at the instance of the great Li Hung Chang, Viceroy of China, he was sent off to Corea as the man best a to advise the Corean officials in matters relating to the departure the country 4. faking oo the ancient ideas and ¢ tis at head of the De ent-al. Finanee, but is called upon-sometinies at midnight to pass his opinion upon some weighty problem of state. Really he is the King of Corea, and his power is more absolute than any emperor at the present time, if one can judge by appearances, and his actions. He wears Corean clothing throughout, with all the marks of the high offi- cial. Upon welcoming the minister he interpreted, using English and Chinese with equal fluency. He was, by far, more interesting than the King with all his official suite, as being totally different from any English-speaking man in the world. The ceremonious interchange of compliments and welcomes was concluded by acup ol tea and the party mounted for the last eight or ten miles of the journey. The whole distance the road was thronged by crowds of Coreéans, and groups of women could be seen inthe background as near as their timid nature allowed themto approach the distingnished foreigner of whom they had heard so much. In places where the streets were narrow the crowds were so dense as to im- pede the progress of the cavalcade, and the sticks of the policemen Were used withous the least cer- emony, and often with what appearea to be serious effect on the heads of the nearest, old or young. ONCE WITHIN THE GATES the street being very broad, the crowd was less dense and a little more respectful, but their inquis- itiveness Was remarkable and a wave of lowered heads passed along the crowd as they stooped to look in the first chair. The minister, Capt. Cot- ton, and Secretary Scudder were guests at the house of Von Moellendorff; the remainder were quartered in a set of buildings reserved by the Government for housing officials from remote provinces or from China and Japan, Among the articles uf furniture were Japanese’ bath tubs, Chinese chairs, clothes hooks from America, candles and candlesticks from Europe, On Saturday the diplomatic suite, in citizens full dress, the naval officers in their full dress and side arms, crawled painfully from their little bexes (chairs), and with ail the dignity possible after their cramped position, ascended the steps of the foreign office, where | they were received by the President of the Coun- cil and his subordinates, and the ratified treaty of the United States presented, anda after a few pleasant speeches a glass of champagne Was drank to the health of his Majesty, the King of Corea. In all the remarks of the Uoreans it was apparent that they were overjoyed to find that the treaty bad been ratified, aud now they nad a stutus and could commence work in earnest. Von Moliendorff says that they have talked of nothing else for months and watched the reports from the Unitea States with great interest for news of the ratification. Had it not been done it was deter- mined that he and two other high Corean offict: should visit Washington and ask for a conclusion | of negotiations a8 soun as possible, The following day the PARTY STARTED FOR THE PALACE, the King having intimated that he would receive them at a fixed hour. Lmagine the astonishment to find a carriage, bright and new, for the new minister. The rest of the party looked longingly at the seat for the Japanese driver and even the footman’s steps, but dignity was not tu be sacrificea on this great occasion, and with groans and long faces they colled them- selves duwn in their By Pca dry goods boxes, and auietty suffered. A long route was taken, and for a mile from the palace gates the crowd was very dense, but from the mass of inquisitive faces nothin indicative of their feelings could pbe learned. We were going to be admitted to seé their king, whom they had only heard of all these years, but their stolid faces gave ho clew to their thoughts. It was with great difficulty that the policemen kept the crowd back at the gates, but one by one the boxes became unpacked and the start made within the walls. A few Corean soldiers with muskets the innumerable tes, and some ancievt Chinaman or other had taught them to present arms. Their efforts were recognized and rewarded. At one of the reception rooms a number of the high State officials met the y and served tea and cigars. Arrangemen were | @ con- cerning the minutiw of the ceremony and we started. It should be mentioned that the Corean interpreter of the Legation, Yenu @hi Ho, was ronoted to a high rank when the heard of his position in the Minister’s suite. The Minister advanced first, bowing first on the steps, again in the center of the eT ere FEW FEET FROM MAJEETY.

Terrible Condition of the Streets Around the Missouri Pacific and ’Frisco Freight Depots—Torture for the Horses. The lusty teamsters who bounce up and down on the seats of their clattering trucks while roll- ing over the granite pavements are no doubt as happy as they look. People who envy their hap- piness, however, should see them as they leave the granite sections and approach the series of morasses that lie between good streets and the Missouri: Pacific freight depot, San Francisco freight depot and Union passenger depot, for In- stance. The careless, jovial look gives way to 4 . pale melancholy that completely subdues the reckless being who handles the reins, and while ‘he hold the lines and clings to his seat with one hand, he plies his heavy whip with ‘the other, and is ‘constantly on the look-out that the truck.is not turned over and he buried beneath the 1oad of cases or crates his team is hauling. The Missouri Pacific and the ’Frisco freight de- s adjoin between Poplar and Cerre streets, on venth, and to reach the Union Depot tracks have to be driven up Poplar street, past the Mis- souri Pacific. Therefore all the freight or baggage received at those points has to be bauled from the warebouses or the river along Cerre, Spruce, Pop- lar of Seventh streets. The pedestrian who suc- ceeds in crossing Seventh street, if he stations himself on the Missouri Pacific platform, may see athousaud trucks pass to and froin an hour. Frequently one of the heavily loaded affairs sinks to the Lub IN A POOL OF WATER, and then the man with the bifurcated canvass apron mounts his seat, and while he lays the Jash along the backs of the mralenne horses sends great big three-cornered oaths hustling through the alr. Sometimes he has luck and succeeds in getting his wheel out without unloading, but generally a part of his load has to be dumped into the mud, AS a result of this the teamsters are complaining, and are saying in very emphatic terms, that un- less the city repairs tne streets they will heida meeting. A Post-DIsPATCH reporter hearing this statement made, and taking into considera- tion its awful significance, put on some old clothes this morning and made a .trip through the streets complained of. They were found to be very muddy, and to closely resemble latelv described bills, in that they eg as- ceuded and descehded, Seventh street, trom Spruce to Cerre, is A BIG SWAMP . with treacherous holes here and there lurking for truck wheels. One old man stood out in the street up to the calves of his legs in slush, stabbing the mud with a hoe and dragging it towards him. He represented the city street-cleaning. ‘Where are the rest of you?” the reporter asked him. The old man straightened his back ana scraping several large siuices of SS off his fore- head with bis thumb said they were up at Twenty- eighth and Clark avenue. “Did you do all this this morning?” asked the seribe, pointing to a wave of black mud that ran along even with the old fellow for about thirty feet’ “TI did.” said the old man, “but it’ll do no good. The horses will spread it out again. I never saw the mud so bad. I can’t strike bottom.” “What are you scraping it up for?” “Il think they are going to put some macadam in this hole.” The reporter went into the depot, and approach- ing «a ttamster who was resting alter a wrestling match with a stove in which the stove won the first fall, and asked him: “Are the streets bad around here?” “Bad!”’ the man exciaimed, looking at his ques- tioner with an expression half of pain, half coa- tempt, “Well, I should say they were bad. Why. it’s worth a man’s life to drive a heavy wagon to this depot.” «Which is the worst street?” “They are all of them the worst. All the streets running this way from the river are simply terri- bie, and Seventh street here is very bad. The crossings are fearful. Broadway and Sixth street below Elm are bad, but Cerre street, up there by the ’Frisco office, is a dandy. Goup there and look at it.” The reportorial investigator walked up to the ’Friseo house and looked out on Cerre street. - Near Seventh it appeared to be pretty even. but up towards Wainwright's ice-houses it was in very bad condition. The planks alongside the depot were rotten and treachervuus for horses, DEEP: HOLES AND GREAT POOLS of water form the roadway fur teams. The great amount of mud made the place look filthy. The space between the two depots was no better. A giance along Cerre street east revealed the fact that the street was in an exceedingly poor condi- tion all the way to Fifth. Poplar and Spruce streets are little, if amy, better. Poplar street, near the Union Depot, is full of holes, and coated with black, filthy mud. The loud-voiced young men in braided vests and spring-bottom pants, who assail the linen-dustered strangers with cries of “‘bag-age,” are the only ones who can safely drive a vehicle over Poplar street in — section. Long practice has madethem ex- per “‘How soon will Seventh and the other streets in the vicinity of the Missouri Pacific freight depot be paved?” the reporter asked Gen. Turner, the Street Commissioner. ‘Seventh street, in front of the Missouri Pacific depot, will be paved with granite some time this fall,” saidthe General. “‘The other streets are not contracted for, and it is difficulf to say when ay’, Rdey be paved.” ‘Why are they not contracted for?” “We can’t get anybody to take the contracts.” “Why not?” “Because there’s no granite, and because the contractors will want money for what they are doing now before they bidior other work.. You will find all the streets that are not contracted for on that list,” and the General indicated a sheet of ae pasted up on a board. ecording to the paper, neither Cerre, Spruce, Poplar, Almond or Plum streets is under contract for pavement, and there are ordinances providing for Davement only as foliows; Spruce street, from wharf to Fourth street; Ailmond,. from First to Fourth; Poplar, from Seventh to Tenth, and Plum, from wharf to Second. There is then no hope for the teamsters for several years yet, save in the way of macadam patcies. ISITA RING? Whiteners Make Curious Statements About. the Letting of Contracts. Mr. M. Quinn, tne whitener at No. 709 Chestnut, has a statement to make in connection with the letting of the whitening contracts by the School Board, which sounds very curious. “When these contracts were being let,” said Quinn, “I went to the architect of the School Board and wanted to bid for them. He told me I could not put in any bid unless I got a permit from the member of the School Board in my district. [asked him what was the necessity of a permit, and be replied that all he knew was that ihad to have one. I went to J. W. O’Con- nell, who ts the member ofthe board from my ward, and asked for this note, or permit, or what- ever itis. “O'Connell told me that I was ton late, that he could not give me the note to the archi- tect which | requested, and that they had selected ‘four men to bid for the work. IL told him I wasa tax-payer, that I paid as much taxes as any whitener I knew of in the city, and that I did not see why I should be refused the simple privilege of putting in a bid on work to be done for the city. I told him that lhad never heard of a man not being allowed to put ha bid, whatever might be done with it afterwards. He said that that was the rule and he could do nothing forme. I went back again to the architect, but he said that he could not and would not take a bid from me unless I first ped him the note from O’Con- nell, and as I could not get that, I put in no bids. -Now, ts that right? Or does it look like a ring? No wonder the prices will have to be scaled down. here is Whitmore who gets $190 for a which 1 did for $70 two vears ago. rkwood ets $357 for work done at the Lyon grt it li do the same job in just as good siyle The fight is still going on before the co over the refusal of the board to allow Age oo rape Kirkwood, Groves and others, and fast By ta a lively row is CARNIVAL WEEK. The Illuminations—The Trade Pageant— Subscriptions Called For, The committee having in charge the illumina- tion of the principal business streets during Fair week have issued a supplementary appeal to mer- -ecbants doing business on streets other than those to be decorated to come forward with their sub- scriptions.

The applications for space in all departmenfs are in excess of previous years,and the horse and cattleshow wil continue to be a national event iu that line. MR. SAM KENNARD, in conversation” about thé {illumination of the streets during carnival Week said to-day: L am quoted in the Globe-Democrat as saying thet the vommistee had informed me that if the- -publie would pay half the expense the committee would meet the baiance. That isa mistake. Whatl did say was that if the citizeus generally would raise half the fund the merchants aud business men on Fourth and Fifth streets would pay the balance.” r. Kennard earnestly reqtests those persons who have received ¢irculars to send them back at onee, with wu ,statement as Ww whether they will contribute anything or not. He says that it is absolutely essential that this re- turn should be made at once, as there is now only a few days left in which o perfect arrangements. Unless attention is paid to this matter, Mr. Keo- nard says that the display will suffer on account of insufficient time for preparation, a thing which all citizens should wy to avoid.

Cumunings is said to be opposed to Sexton, but has mot deciared for Gross. Some insurance men believe that Gross will get the votes of Scudder, Haines, Kowse, Zeigenhein, Zelle, Cummings and fresi- dent Parker.

Judge Noonan Postpones Delivering His De- cision Until the 24th Inst. The decision of Judge Noonan on the points raised in the case of Wm J. Lemp was expected to-day, bui when his Honor took the bench he announced that he was not prepared to give his aecision yet. as Col. Ciaiborne’s brief had only been filed this morning. The points involvea would take him over a great deal of ground, and he accordingly would not be prepared to give a decision before to-morrow week. Whose Picnic Is This? At an early honr this morning three city ambu- lance wagons were seen to stop near the corner of Fifth street and Washington avenue, and soon after a number of city officials § be- gan to assembie from ail directions. Among those who were soon in the neighborhood were Poljce Commissioner Kinkead, Gus Ewing, Ashley Clover, Phil Zepp, Tom Martin, Detective Sam Boyd, Emile Thomas, Henry Bischoff. John I. Martin, Dr. Frank, W. Davis and H. C. Meyer. fhere were a number of other genilemen, but most of them wore disguises. The party filled the three wafons and started in the direciion of the bridge, although the destination of the pic- nickers could not be ascertained. Each ambu- lance contained several! baskets. A Post-Dis- PATCH reporter who attempted to lift the cover of one of them to ascertain whether the basket contained Schmier-Kase, or wurst, Was thrown fromthe vehicle by Sam Boyd and seriously, though not fatally injured. Owing to the inter- ference, it Was not ascertained whether the ex- cursionists were followers of Mr. Filley or hench- men of Mr. Pohiman. The Exposition. The directors of the Exposition and Music Hail Association held another protracted meeting last night, at whieh Architect Walsh was present. The favored plans and specifications were gone over for the thousandth time, but the architect could not be brought up to the point of signing the contract, which he elaims is too iron-clad, rock- ribbed and steel plate. Some of the directors are getting very impatient at the delay and are deter- mined to force a settlement, one way or the other before the expiration of this week. The plans of J. B. Legg, Ike Tavlor, and George J. Barrett are received with favor and wiil surely receive a premium of $500. Legal Notes. An ejectment suit was instituted to-day by Frederick Heman against Charles H. Hopgood. Letters of adminiétration on the estate of Mary A. McPherson were granted to-day to Alphonso C. Stewart. The estate is valued at $4,500.

Testimony and Verdict in the Case of August Dunkel. The Cherokee Street Tragedy—Evidence of the Son-in-Law—The Addison Case Suicide—Railroad Engineer’s Death. August Dunkel, the old man who killed Frank ing at the City Hospital. The inquest was begun at noon to-day. Bernard Overman testified: “L reside 1908 Cherokee street and am s0n-in-law of the deceased, who was 70 years of age, a widower, born in Germany and a gunsmith by occupa- tion. Last Sunday pight I heard some shots fired about 9:30 on the sidewalk, infront of 1910 Uherokee street. 1 wus going to the street and met the deceased coming to my house. He livea with me. I asked him what was oing on, and he said ‘shooting’, and passed on. in about a minute I heard another shot from the direction of my back yard. No one ventured into the yard to see what occurred, until Officer Kor- mano came. We knew the deceased was wey much excited, and feared he wight shoot some of us. We _ discoverea the deceased sitting on a bench in a lattice-worked power with the pistol stili in his bund and the ‘plood pouring from a wound in his right temple. He was removed to the City Huspital, When I went to the street'I ascertained that the deceased had shot Frank Wahi, who died next day. I toid the officer before the deceased was taken away that he had better be searched, as I had reason to believe he car- ried a large amount of money about bis person. On opening his clothes I removed a belt from his person, and in company with the policeman ft went to the Second District Police Station, and there saw the money counted out, which amount- ed to exactly eighteen nundred dollars, which was left in the hands of the police.” The following verdict was rendered; “That the deceased August Dunkel caumeto-his death about 7:10 p. m. August 15, 1883, from a gunshot wound in the brain, inflicted npon himself by a bail fired from a pistoliu his own hands after having in- flieted a wound in the abdomen upon Frank Wahl, from which the said Wahl died August -13th, with the same pistol be used in taking his own life.” THE CASE SUICIDE. A verdict of suicide will be rendered by Coroner Nidelet to-day aiter hearing the remainder of the testimony concerning the death of Addison Case. A. L. Tyler, the proprietor of the shooting gallery atthe northeast commer of Cuestnut and Fifth streets, to-day testified that the deceased came in and tried his skili siuooting. After firing with a rifle he picked up a_ revolver and firea one shot scoring 10. He then proposed to sliovot a second time, but suddenly turned, and without a word of warning placed the revolver to the right side of his head, just back of the ear, and jodged tie bullet in his own brain. More testimony will be taken looking towards a more complete identification and the discovery of the cause. THE ENGINEER DEAD.

Bad Feeling Between the Gould and Para- more Koads—N otes and lersonals. The first speck of war between the Gould Lines andthe Paramore system is taking shape. Tuhis morning, us a Post-DISPATCH reporter was mak- ing the rounds of the Gould Bullding, he ran against one of the heads of the freight depart- ment, who greeted the news-gatherer as follows: *What do you think of the Paramore road now, for a St. Louis concern?” “Why?” asked the reporter. “Why, don’t you. Kuow that the rate from Cnhi- cago lo Arkausas poinis is only 15 cents higner on first-class tian from St. Louis, when it oucht to be 40 Cents at least?” ‘Does. your system charge 40 cents more from Chicago than fro St. Louis?” . “OF course.”’ Aud off the reporter started for the Tex- as and St. Louis Geuveral Freight Office: When G. W. Lilley denied the allegation, aud produced the tariff sheet, which showed that 20 cents was placed against Chicayo iu favor of St. Louis. the reporter repeated to “Mr. Liliey Wuat tue Gould man had said about 40 cents being the ex- tent of Gould’s favoritism ior St. Louis, where- upon Mr. Lilley exclaimed, “Oh, there’s Where yeu heurd it? If that’s their game, iey me show you sumething. Take Camden; gur rate on firsi class from St. Louis is $115; the Iron Mvuuniaiu charges $150. Look at the second class. Our rate is $1, aud their’s $130. Take fourth class; our rate is 73 cents, and their’s 90 cenls per low pounds. As far as the difference in favor of. St. Louis is concerned, just go out in the other office aid look at their tariff sheets between Chicago und Gaivesion and St. Louis and Galveston, and you will see how they are favoring this city. The reporter was shown the Soulhwesiera rate sheets, aud sure enuugh the rates were found to be buta few cents in favor of St. Louis, as the luliowing figures siiow: From St. Louis—ist class $1 50, 2d class $1 10, 3d class 90c, 4th class 75c, class A 6bdc. From Chicago—1st Class §1 31, 2d class $1 04, 3d class ¥0c, 4th class 74c, Class A 62c. Chicago, it will be seen, has 1 cent the best of St. Louis on fourth Class and 3 cents the vest of it vh Class A, Mr. Liliey said he thought that 20 cents was suf- ficient discrimination agalast Chicago aud said lie would meet every charge the Gould people had tu make against his road. A tulk with several neutral railroad men audafew shippers elicited the fact that the feeling that a greater advanlage than either of the roads are making for St, Louis should be given. The only way to get this is to getthetwo systems to fighting on competitive points aud then there wiil be a chance. Notes and Personals. Col. A, A. Talmage returned from Texas this morning. Maj. J.

Mr, Ewrne missed a historic opportunity. STEDMAN, the poet, who has been dab- bling in Wall Street for several years, has gone into bankruptcy. The thought that he may now be driven back to poetry appals us. A BAND of Hawaiian musicians from Honolulu has arrived in San Francisco to contribute to the festivities of the Knights Templar. Their favorite tuneis said to be the leprosy waltz. Ex-GoVERNOR PHELPS, in imitation of other great statesmen, has gone off to Block Island to fish fora month. If he intends to run for Governor ke had better stay at home and attend to nis political fences. STRANGERS Visiting the city who desire to see how our poor streets are abused by chart- ered street car companies, are urgently re- quested to turn aneyeon Sixth street, be- tween Locust and Washington avenue. ———— THE New York Sun is still booming Hot- MAN for President. Mr. HoLMAN hirself is said to blush when the subject is mentioned tohim. No man who blushes can ever be President of anything bigger than a sewing circle. AN election for members of the Spanish Cortes takes place on the 19th, and King ALFonso is preparing to conduct an ex- ploring expedition in the provinces. He will probably ride in a parlor car lined with boiler-iron. COMPLAINT is made that subscriptions are not coming in satisfactorily to the fund for the illumination of the streets during Fair week. It is to be sincerely hoped that all good citizens will find a way to help this worthy cause. A POSTAL telegraph company has beeh or- ganized to run in opposition to the Western Union. Bonanza Mackey has been secured for President. Itis safe to presume thata block of stock has been given to U.S. GRANT in exchange for his influence as a Promoter. ——————_—_—_—_— Im the olden time usurious money-lenders were compelled to sit outside the gates of citiesand conduct their nefarious traffic as best they could. If the fleeced victims of Ey- ANS,the decorticator, will rise up and testify against him, he will be compelled to take to the highway. Sa nteinentetetaiteatl dl WHEN the wounded fireman, O’GoRMAN, was taken to his home he said to his stricken wife: “WILLIAM WEST was bound to kill! me, and he has done it at last.” It is under- stood that he simply meant by this to convey the idea that Mr. Wrest was not‘a pleasant, careful, companionable driver. SUBSCRIPTIONS in aidof the family of poor O’GORMAN, the fireman who was killed in the line of his @uty, are coming in en- couragingly. The Post-Dispatcu takes pleasure in recording the fact thatits fund amounts to $97. This is a cause that ap- peals to every charitable heart. BUSINESS men outside of the district pro- posed to be illuminated during Fair week should not slight the subscription papers on that account. The blazing gas jets add to the glory of the whole city. The far-off denizen of Bremen and the toiling man of Carondelet are alike benefited by the dis- play. Our fellow-townsman, Mr. EDMONDSON, who owns the greater portion of the ground upon which Washington City and the Capi- tol buildings stand, has gone down to fore- close his claims. He will settle for $3,000,- 000, and if the money is not forthcoming soon he will move the whole concetn out to St. Louis, where it belongs. dl Mr. THOMAN, the representative of the St. Louis saloon-keepers, makes a mistake when he declares that St. Louis people will not be dictated to. St. Louis may protest against obnoxious laws, but she has no more right to defy the law-making power than any other section of the State.

It has a parox- ysmal atmosphere. Even its preachers and newspaper men cahnot always escape scan- dal, and its politicians are continually getting into scrapes. “The latest affair of the sensational kind enlivening the gossip of that city was one which severed the friendly relations long subsisting between two well-known Fourth Ward politicians, City Assessor Hopxins and Dave McKInN- NoN of the Navy Yard. The families of these gentlemen were 80 intimate that after Mrs. Hopkins went with her children to the country for the summer Mrs. McKINNON continued to visit the HopkKINs mansion and was often seen driv- ing out with Mr. Hopkins. She neglected tomention these visits: and drives to her husband, but he had friends who were less negligent. With one of these, Mr. JOHN REAL, of the Custom House, Mr. MCKINNON ambuscaded a suburban drive one afternoon and had the melancholy satisfaction of sur- prising HopKINs and Mrs. McKINNON by seizing their buggy horse by the bridle. “I’ve got you at last,” shouted McKIn- NON. “‘For God’s sake, Dave, don’t shoot,” exclaimed HopxKINS as he sprang out of the vehicle and took to his heels, regardless of Mrs. McKinwon’s crying “Murder!” “He will kill me!” at the top of her voice. Quite a collection of passers-by stopped and took in the scene, and two divorce Cases are ex- pected to grow out of it. e It is such scenes as this that make bald heads so numerous and wig-makers so pros- perous in Brooklyn. MARYLAND CORRUPTION. The Democratic Governor of Maryland has published a letter which, being a con- fession of the acts and ‘short-comings of his own party in Maryland affairs, will be re- garded and denounced by some of its mem- bers as rank treason. Itis, in fact, an ad- dress to Democratic voters, arraigning the official malfeasance and showing up the vio- lated pledges by which Democratic ascend- ency is being brought into disrepute through the control ef the GoRMAN Canal Ring over the party machinery. Opposition to the objects and methods of that ring has divided the party into two fac- tions. Gov. HAMILTON was neminated and elected inspite of the ring’s opposition, but it managed the Legislative committees and other officials so as to tie his hands and*pre- vent the reforms promised in the party plat- form, and now vaunts its power to put some more yielding man in his place, The result, according to Gov. HAMILTON’s showing, Is the continuance of various use- less and costly offices, one of them confer- ring a salary of $1,800 a year for superintend- ing a telegraph line one mile and a half long, which has never been used; the continuance of unnecessary expenditures which have cost tax-payers not less than $500,000 in the last three years; the continuance of gross and startling abuses, looseness and disorder in various branches of the public service until now delinquent officials owe the State $772,738 08. And in addition to all this he declares that the entire sinking fund of the State has been used for other purposes. Whenever the Governur of a State makes. such a showing against his own party and calls on its voters to “turn the rascals out,” either by reform within the party, or, failing in that, by an independent movement, he is bound either to reform it or wreck it. Any party which tolerates such abuses and al- lows a managing ring of bosses to suppress all tendencies to reform within the party, ought to be wrecked. No party long secure in power can keep its machinery out of the hands of managing rascals unless it watches them with jealous vigilance and courageous- ly crushes them when detected. The recent indictment of Baltimore city officials for gross corruption indicates that there is some- thing rotten in Maryland, and that the Gov- ernor has sounded the alarm not a moment too soon. Sa ea EERE AS RRR RETR A NEW DEBT QUESTION. A novel and interesting question of Fed- eral responsibility for State bonds is to be submitted to our Supreme Court through the intercession of the German Minister in be- half of German bond-holders. It is a case growing out of the Republican party’s recon- struction policy in keeping Georgia so long out of the Union and under military govern- ment for partisan ends. That State had hastened to re-habilitate her government in compliance with every public requirement after the war, but it suited the Republican managers to deny her all recognition as a State, and to keep her’ for years after the warin the relation of a conquered territory, outside of the Union, without autonomy, and in a condition of ir- responsible political pupilage, governed en- tirely by military orders from the headquar- ters of the Federal army. During that period the officers of the United States then governing Georgia issued and sold to German capitalists, at 90 cents on the dollar, what purported to be Georgia State bonds, and the proceeas' were applied to the re-building of a Georgia road. The State’s interest in that road was fraudulently conveyed toa ring during the reconstruction process, and when Georgia was reinstated in the Union recognized Government retused to ‘ \ + ¥ z « ‘negotiated the ‘eS. . - those bonds as ber obligations, or “yy ir ; 5 x hy } + oe 4 Pies .. * eA bets © as as a a o ; octets @ ae - ‘ . x al ’ ‘ »? ” Ah, ao +e cts . She took the ground that the money was borrowed and expended py authority of the United States and that the bondholders must. luok to Washington for their pay. Judge 0. A. Locnrane, formerly Chief Justice of Georgia, as atterney for the bond- holders, admits that Georgia got the money and ought to pay it, but argues that, if she refuses, the Federal Government is respon- sible for it, because it was the only Govern- ment recognized or existing in Georgia at the time, and its officers and agents loan and expended the proceeds. Judge LocHRANE is probably aware of the fact that the Supreme Court cannot compel either Georgia or the United States to pay bonds, but he ‘and his clients seem to hope that either of the two will, respect an opinion of the Supreme Court declaring which is in law justly responsible for this debt. Whether the Georgia Government that issued these bonds was lawful or unlawful it certainly was a de facto government,. and public law holds the de jure successor re- sponsible for such debts. ‘The money in this case was borrowed by a de facto government of Georgia for her use and expended for her benefit. If she chooses to repudiate the debt the Federal Government is under no more legal or equitable obligation to pay it than to pay the municipal debts of a village in the Territory of Utah. | AO NE SEE EE EEE SAN TS SHORTLY after the death of President Gar- FIELD a movement was started in this city looking to the erection of a monument to his memory. The matter was piaced in th hands of our genial and public-spirited citizen, Mr. 8S. H. LaAruin. At first the con- tributions came in well, but ina short time Mr. L. was compelled to make personal efforts in order to keep the enterprise before the public. He rafsed in all something over $3,000. This not being deemed sufficient to erect a creditable monument, nothing has been done and Mr. LAFLIN now holds the money subject to order. Not a penny has been subscribed to the fund for months. Mr. CHARLES MCcCLARAN, one of our most respected citizens, yesterday suggested that this fund be divided among the Orphan Asylums of the city, and the projected movement be abandoned. He based his suggestion upon the idea that the recent revelations touching Mr. GARFIELD’S personal and political character rendered it doubtful whether he was entitled to a public monument in St. Louis. The satirical Ham- let has expressed the hope that “a great man’s memory may outlive his life half a year.” Mr. GARFIELD was not a truly great man, and although his memory still abides with us it is more than probable that we have passed the monument-building per- iod for him. The emotions produced by his untimely taking-off have subsided, and even the smallest politicians are now flinging stones at his tomb. Still, the people of St. Louis have raised a small fund for a monn- ment to his memory. The monument must be built or the money must be refunded. It cannot well be donated to another purpose. MAJOR EDWARDS, of the St. Joe Gazette, who is whooping up the cause of protective tariff in the advocacy of SAM RANDALL for Speaker of the House, refers to the New York World, Louisville Courier-Journal and Atlanta Constitution, which are opposing him, as “‘newspapers of immense sensation proclivities and questionable Democracy.” lt is with difficulty, we presume, that Major EpwaAkps refrains from reading these feeble sisters out of the party. He is only restrained, it is reasonable to believe, by the fact that when these journals are driven into the wilderness, there will be really but one newspaper of prominence left to do battle for the Democratic party—the St. Joseph Gazette. For some unaccountable reason the Major does not feel himself equal to the task of holding the entire party up by the tail, though his seeming modesty really over- powers us. Our esteemed friend Col. Yosr, of the Sedalia Democrat, in his “tally-ho yoicks, hark forward” in behalf of Ex-Governor PHELPS, whois now an open candidate for Governor, says: In view of the facts—undisputed and unim- peached—it seems but fitting to declare that if Gov. Phelps should be nominated, he will accept the unprecedented honor as the crowning; glory of bis life, and will give to Missourl an adminis- tration that must yield fresh prosperity to all our people. There will be no room for dispute about the “crowning glory,”’ but before we coinmit ourselves we want to be assured that Brother Yost will be identified with the new ad- ministration in the capacity of Private Secretary. a One of the members of the HARPER BROTHERS publishing firm was interviewed by a correspondent at Long Branch the other day. Speaking of his fashiun publica- tion, the Bazar, he said: ¥ We get a great deal of matter Sapthat journal fromthe Berlin Bazar. You may not be aware that Berlin at the present day sets the fashion for the world. The French get their patterns from Berlin. The Germans are such wonderful draughtsmen, and have such patience for details. All that fine lace work which were produce comes from Berlin. While the Germans themselves are not very much for dress, they have the taste and the manufacturing genius that leads them to sup- ply the wants of a more fashionable world. THERE is such astriking similarity between an able editorial published in the Republican this morning on the subject of the ‘T'rades ‘Procession and a local article which appears in the Globe-Democrat of eurtent daté that we are inclined to believe that the city edit- or of the latter journal is also doing duty’ as editorial writer on the Repudlican, —_—_e_—_——ooo— —S .

What the Editors of the New York Journals Are Saying To-Day. By Telegraph to the Post-Dispatch. NEw YorK, Aucust 16.—The World says; “The surface indications in Ohio have convineed the astute politicians of that State that Arthur and Foster bave organized a mutual benefit society, Arthur is to help Foster to the Senate, and in re- turn Foster is to secure Ohio for Arthur in 1884. But where is John Sherman, and what is he doing all this time?” THE SUN. The Sun says: “Because the Edmunds act has failed, itdoes notfollow that polygamy is any more firmly established than it was before. That which has in itself the seea of decay will surely perish.” ‘ THE TIMES. The Times says: “‘Goy. Cameron, Mahone and Riddleberger, jleaders of the Readjusters-Demo- cratic-Republican party in Virginia, ae 60 alarmed by the unexpected strength of ‘the straight-out Republican movement, and by Gen. Wiekbam’s action, that they have met for con- ference in Washington, and the Administ ation is 2,000 miles away.” THB TRIBUNE. The Tribune says: “The Canadian authorities at Niagara have taken a decided and praiseworthy stand in regard to reckless attempts to gain notoriety at the Falls. They have informed a foolhardy inyentor who had announced his in- tention to swim the rapids in his patent life- preserver, that if he tries to do it they will treat him as they would treata lunatic and prevent him by force. This is the kind of talk and action which the most foolish adventurer can understand. The authorities on the American side of the falls would do well to issue a similar warning. Public sentiment at present is decidedly against all such performances aud everything possibie shoulda be done to strengthen it.” POLITICAL DRIFT, THe Republican Presidential difficulty now is to tind a Kepublican who can carry New York. THE South has no candidate for the Presid ency. But, heaven knows, the North has enough for both. AFTER all, Proctor Kaott’s majority for Gov- ernor of Kentucky was larger than that of his predecessor in the office. WASHINGTON Post: Speaking of old tickets, there is General Fremont, the Pathfinder, who made such a magnificent race in 1856. Why not “give the old man another chance?”’ CARTER HARRISON says: “The Democrats will not let Watterson draw up the platform this time. He sometimes eats dinner before he draws up party platforms and doesn’t always confine hinr- seif to salads,” By their efforts tofind a candidate who can draw support from the Democratic party, the Re- publican managers in Massachusetts confess that they donot dareto make a square party fight against Butler. Mr. GEORGE C. GORHAM, stalwart, says that the South is no morein the Union than Ja- pan is, and that all the Union has dene for her is to have given her a mailservice. He says that the only Republican who conld have many votes in the South—Granj—wiil not again consent to have his name used. A VERY prominent Republican Congressman, who was in Washington a few days ago, was asked by an intimate friend what he thought of his party’s prospects in 1884. He replied: “There is but one man whom we can possibly elect: that man is Blaine, and he does not want the nomina- tion this time.” MEN OF NOTE. —FEx-Secretary Boutwell, who is ageing and graying, says that in politics heis only a looker- on and a voter. —The cholera in Egypt is raging, and Arabi, in the healthful climate of Ceylon, is heard to re- mark that exile is a big thing. —Denis Kearney was greeted by a baker’s dozen of adherents on his arrival at San Fran- cisco the other day.

To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch: “Oh, Lord, how long?” City weeds breed ma_ laria and hay fever, carpet shakiug disseminates infectious germs, and the world is now menaced with Oriental plagues, whether cholera or some- thing worse, the doctors cannot decide. So long, however, as it isa “pestilence that walketh in darkness” and a “destruction that wasteth at noonday,” we laymen will not be so anxious about its diagnosis as about our protection from it, Wecannot halt it, as did the late General Skobeleff, with the Ozar’s despotic authority, the plague that invaded Kussia just aMer its war with Turkey by burning up every abode of if as fast asit was discovered. We have to proceed by only the methods the people, by ordinance or law, adopt, Let us be prepared, at our best, in every lawful way, for our safety. The world’s rupid transit can, in less than eighty days, convey disease around the globe. All should take an act- ive interest m establishing precautions. This is not croaking, but the prudence of rational fore- sieht. But just now we have before our eves, and scattered throughout the populated portions of the city, very effectually for their most successful mischiets, numerous sources of danger to the pubitic health. These consist of large plots of the rankest growth of the rankest weeds, and of the shaking of Ccar- pets froin rooms in which infections, sickness and deaths from infectious and contagious diseases have occurred. With regard tg the weeds they have been and are now sending forth the pollen of their anthers, which, according to some profes- sional opinions, tend to produce hay-fever, and soon thzy will begin to fallto the ground, where they will, under the influence of the sun’s heat, ferment and produce wmala- ria for our isonous inhalation. We have created a Board of Health, and confidea to it the great trust of guarding the public health from the dangerous causes that the individual citizen cannot suppress. Why does it not operate against these plots of weeds, ano the shaking of carpets in populated portions of the city, as well as against a dead horse, or a pond of water, whieh, not unfrequenily, prevents rather than promotes malaria? I will not say that the Board of Health is not informed of these disease-breeders. It would re- flect upon its official intelligence and fitness, but I venture to say that its negiect of them shows a lack of fidelity to the pubiie welfare in its charge that challenges serious apprehension. Its atten- tion has been repeatedly and ineffectnally cailed to these dangers, and nowthe exclamation is “Oh! Lord, how long” will this dangerons apathy continue? ALBERT TODD. Where Vice is Fostered. St. Louris, August 15, 1883. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch: I think there are worse things than keeping beer gardens and saloons open on Sunday that our law-makers should give their attention to. One of them is to close saloons at 12 o’clock p. m. Itis after that time one-half of the crimes are committed in those places. Anotheris to stop the admission of minors intothose demoralizing resorts called theaters, where beer and liquors are carried round among the audience. hink you where a wailer’s pay depends on the amount of money he returns to the bar that he cares whether it is a minor or an adult he serves? One- half of the poo of those plices are minors. Pass one of them of a Sunday afternoon and see the crowds of youths (that should be at Sunday- schoo!) waiting for the a to open fur the mat- inee, as it is called. hen pass again Dei ween 10 and 12 p. m., when those youths are full of beer, and hear them yell, and ty will wonder bow an one within a block of the place can sleep. through your valuabie paper you wil! bring those evils to the notice of the City Council, you will re- cetve the lasting gratitude of many fathers and mothers.

During that time all the great monopolies which now overshadow the country, all the giant corporations whose power is felt in nearly every State of the Union and in almost every town in those States, have spYung into ex- istence, .The pampered national banks are the creatures of the Republican party. Every law designed to foster mondpoly and to give undue power to corporate wealth has veen favored by Republican Cougresses and Republican adminis- trations. Since 1868 corporations have obtained all they wanted from the legislative and executive branches of the Government, and Nave in return helped the party that has favored them to retain power. What has the Republican party in the mean- time dune for labor? How many laws have been passed for the special protection of the working classes or the people generally against the en- croachments and abuses of powerful moneyed corporations and monopolies? Tne Repubticans fall back on the tariff. That protects labor, is their ery. But the witness who testified yesterday was prepared to produce sta- tistics to meet that plea. He offered figures to the Senate Committee to substantiate the state- ment that “the manufacturing interests of this country produce yearly $60,0v0,000,000, and that of this amount less than one-sixtieth part goes to 3,- 000,000 laborers and all the rest is swallowed up by the capitalists.” Justice to Jadge Black. From the New York Sun. In some comments upon acontroyery between Judge J.S. Black and Mr. Jefferson Davis, the Inter-Ocean says of Judge Black that “to be pounced upon by Mr. Davis isto have his loyalty tothe Union vouched for in a significant way, and it needed something of the kind. A cloud rested upon his title to the rights and. honors of patriotism.” The late Edwin M. Stanton was certainly a com- petent witness in this case. Mr, Stanton has said to us that the country owed a great debt of gratitude to Judge Black for his patriotic conduct while a member of President Buchanan’s Cabs net: that in conjunction with Mr. Dix, Mr. Helt, and himself, Judge Black exerted all his ability to restrain the movement of secession; and if was largely due to him that the Government was tinally delivered unbroken into the hands of Mr, Lincoln. The opinion of Mr. Stanton ought to have the greatest weight on such a question. A Social Want. From the New York World. What is needed to assert the social equality of Americans is an occasional marriage in which the element of saie and purchase shall not enter so conspicuously. For instance, if a wealthy and distinguished nobleman were to marry an Ameri- can girl for some other than a pecuniary reason; or, better still, if some American gentleman should distinguish himself by marrving the wealthy “daughter of an hundred earls.”” When we shall see this weshall begin to believe that the titled society of Europe looks on the untitied society of America as itgequal. But until we see this we shall be oppressed by a painful feeling that American society is lowering itself by buying with mouey a recognition it could not obtain on its merits, Exploration.

HAPPY MATT. —— Matt. Lewis Congratulates Himself on Being in the Same Realm with Reporters. He Talks About His Narrow Escape from the Gallows, and the Influence of a Crap-Shooter and Oock-Fighter in Church Matters. “I didn’t expect that I'd be here talking to a reporter this morning,” said Matt Lewis, as he took a chair beside a Post-DISPATCH represen- tative in the City Jail to-day. Seven years ago Matt Lewis, who was known in Washington and Jefferson Cities, Mo., as Matt Bolton, was com mitted to jail on a charge of murdering his wife, who was found in the hallway of building. No. 817 Market street with her throat cut from ear to ear. After eleven months’ confine- ment he was sent to trial, and since then the case has been a very mysterious and interesting ove. He had three trials, and on his last trial was convicted and senteuced to be hung. The case was appeaied and a stay of execution was granted until the 15th of August, 1883. That date came and the Sheriff found himself without any authori- zation to execute the man who was out-living the lease of life granted by thelaw. The day has passed and developed anew legal complication thot may leadto the most ansuspected resuit. What animus Matt had in sending for a reporter this moruiny did bol develop during the conversation. He literally came up smiling and sai: “Well, I'm still kickin’, but I guess they’il hang mevet. I felt pretty blue last Tuesday and Wednesday. an’ I didn’t expect I was going to be whar’ thar’ were any newspaper reporter this mornin’. I don’t know just how my case stands now, but I leave everything to my attorney, Mr. Bishop. I didn’t have anything tw say Tues- day or esterday, when 1 thouggqt I morning and found myselfalive | thought of a few things | wanted to say, an’ 1 might just as well say ’em now as when they hang me, and they are going to hang me sure as I’m a poor nigger.’ “WHAT IS IT YOU WANT TO SAY?” “T want to say this, that I’m under sentence of death an’ I guess I’m goin’ to be hung and I didn’t kill that woman. and when “[ go to the scaffuld l’il say the same thing. A great deal of the colored people have a preju- dice against me, and I don’t kuow why. I never did anything in my lile to make them mad at me, except to vote the Democratic ticket once in Jefferson City when B. Gritz Brown was running for an office.” Mitt feels particularly resent- fulat Rube Armsirong, the coiored cock-fighter and proprietor of a place on Christy avenue. ln _—ithis he is backed by facts, for since the beginning Armstrong has displayed more than the ordinary citizen or tax-payer’s interest, and in this matter, as in many others, has laid himself open to the imputa- tion of currying favor with the police, which, un- der tie circumstances, is a wise course for him to ursue. Speaking of Armstrong’s interference, ewis said: “I don’t Knuw what I ever did to that mau to mike him work against me and get up per ured testimony. The _ testimoay is _ per- ured because one of the witnesses twld me =herself that she got $15 for sweariug against me, She toid me this herself right here in jail, but not until she thought I was going to be hung. That’s the way with all these things. I’ma nigger and without money, ana I can’t find these thiugs out until its too late to do me any good. Now I asked Rev. A. 8S. Warner, astor of M. E.

I now owe $22 50toa man; this was the only thing that bothered me last week and the fore part of this week, when I thought I was going to be a corpse by this morning.” This occurrence in the case raises a very impor- tant point.

An Unweleome Visitor—Strange Noises and Occurrences—Hard on the Servant Girls— Digging for Buried Treasure—What the Mediums Say—A Headless ‘Dog. : _ Inthe northern part of the city, not many blocks from the river and not very far out of the rsh and life of the business streets, stands a two- story brick house. There is nothing remarkabie in its appearance. It is a plain. unpretentious building, neat aud clean looking, and is surround- ed by squatting, unattractive shanties, out of which it stands the most prominent object in the square, It is more than likely that at the time of its construction the house was considered a fine one. its sivie is not exactly in keeping with its locality and it gives the impression of a buiiding that had seen velter days and had sometime in the st enjoyed a higher order of respectability—bad he entree to betler society, so to speak—than at present. Commonplace, however, as the house i00Ks it is uot by oe means realiy so iu the esti- mation of the people living aronudit. {t hasa history veileu somewhat in obscurity which only adds achurm to the mystery which envelopes it. As far. back as the memory of the oldest resident in the neighborhood reaches it bas been consid- ered huusutea, and the chiidren who play in the streets there, aud even Most of the grown people, Speak vl it as THE HAUNTED HOUSE. For many years past it has been tenanted at Lines by the spirit of a former owner who bas been wont to disturb its present occupauts by seating herself in her accustomed pee in her rocking chair, moving the articies of urniture and Otherwise interiering with their peace and confusing their househoid arrange- nents. The occupants of the house at. present are a very matter-of-fact German widow lady anda her grand-daughter, anda family to which the upper story is rented. These people have said very little about the disturbances in the house, buta Post-DIsPaTCH reporter who introduced himself as a spivituaiistic medium trom the East was enabled to glean the whole story of the ghost- ly visitations. However strange the occurrences may seen), Luey may be vouched for as having act- Ualiy happened, and the skill of innumerable Sbirliualisis has been exerted in vain trylug to svive the mystery. The ouly part of the house Lluatis truublead is the lower floor, where the WidOW wWOinal above mentioned has iived for the Past sixlecn years. he woman who lived there belore Ler Was COmpeiled to leave on account of the troublesome spirit,and this lady came into tie huuse iguorant of its character: and reputation. Sue soon discuvered the true state of the case, however, by tle strange actions of THE SUPERNATURAL VISITANT and the cvndauct vi the veighbors’ children, whom she heard Calling out “haunted house, haunted house,” whenever they passed her door, but wish- lug to lead 4 secluded life and beimg a practical, Strong-minded woman, with a clear con- Science, slie determined to remain in spite of her uncanny guest. She says she ig pot a_i Spiritualist aud does not Delieve in spiritualism, further than that which she bas experienced cannot be easily explained in any other way than by the interference cf some super- natural agency. She hau two young children with her when she first went to live in tne house. The children siept in the dibing-room aud she slept in the front room back of tue parlor. It was not long before strange noises were heard in the rooms. One of the most Common sounds was that of someone rocking in an easy chair and at every movement of the chair ihe rustie of silk could be heard as if the persou was a lady dressed in silk. This frequentiy happened at ali hours of the day and night; sumetimes the rocking and rustling would be Leard right in their midst as they were seated around the room and soipetimes it could be heard in the dead ofnight. it wasa regular ceaseless rock of the chairand rustle of silk. Auother cominou sound Was that apparent- ly made by the dragging of a piece of furniture from one roomto another, and the changing of chairs and tables from one part of the room to anvther. The most astonis ing noise was that made in the dining room, which was like the fulllung ofa heavy piece of iron, such as a bolt or lock, en the floor, but whem the room was searched nothing could be found to explaiu it. It also frequently bappened that the rattling of pans, skillets, etc., would be heard issuing from the kiteben aud on Investigatian the kitchen utensils would pe found scattered around in the utmost coulusion and not a person could be found on the premises besides the family. At first it wis believed that probably some mischievous person was trying to have fun atthe expense of the family, but after this state of things had continued for years and the most careful searches tailed to reveal any eyi- dences of any person having been in the house, this theory Was given up as untenable. Tne children finally became so frightened tnat they re- fused to sleep in the dining-room, and the whole fumily inhabited one room, and although now grown and married not one of them can De ip- duced to sleep in the house, and the old lady has only her littie granddaughter as a companion. Her son-in-law slept in ihe dining-room one hight aud about midnight he rushed into the front room pale hs a ghost and deciared that some terrible accideut lad hap- pened in the Kitchen. as he had heard a crash hike that of a tree falling. A search with a lighted lamp and a revoiver revealed nothing unusual in the kitchen. On another occasion a littie boy of a family living up stuirs was picked up aud thrown violenily over the balusters from oue platform of the stairway to another, He was not injured in the least, and declared that he felt some one pick him up and throw him down, but no one had been near him. An oid lady who was staying at the house was siltiug one evening about 6 o’clock in the hailway near the door leading tw the back porch,when she distinctly saw What appeared to be an enormous black Newfoundland dog without a head walk up on the porch, aud, approaching to within a sbort distance of her, stood for a few moments and thea gree ace f disappeared. The old lady gol- éemuly averred the truth of her statement, and sat in the same place at the same time evening after evening ln hopes of séciag the apparition again, but the HEADLESS BLACK DOG did not materiauze. The lady was unable to keep a _ servint, not only on ac- count of the noises, which frightened them, but because every servant she hired, soon after they came, Would be seized about the shoul- ders by invisible hands and whirled out of the door. The servants vever allowed this treatment to occur more than once beiore giving short no- tice. They generally preferred visible hands on their suouiders. Tie lady relates one exceeding- ly strange occurrence. The woman living up- stairs happened to look in the Kitchen wiudow while passing through the yard one evening, and there she saw an old and feeble-looking woman, dressed in old-fashioned clothes, sitting on a low stool by the kitchen stove. The next day she asked one of the girls why her mother had taken such an old woman tor a servant. The girl re- plied that her mother had _ no . sery- aut, The woman wouldn’t believe her, but spoke to the lady about it, and was astounded to find that she not only had no serv. aut, butat the time the old woman was seen the whole family were in the front part of the house. These are only a few of the incidents that have occurred for years in the haunted house, The woman applied to her priest finally to help her out of the difficulty, but he said he was powerless and advised ler to call in the aid of the mediums. She did so at last and many seances have been held at the house for the purpose of discovering “ALL THEE No VHLTIES IN *F URNITURE!. AT THE ENTERPRISING CASH HOUSE OF BARNES & WIEDERHOLDT.

WANTS A PANIC, A Lawyer’s Doleful Lamentation Over the Dullness of the Times. ‘-What is the prospect for a panic?” said a well- Known and popular young lawyer as he stood on the steps of the Vours-house this morning. “Not much, so far as the local brokers can see,”’ “Well, [wish it would come, you may be sure. “Do you Kbow that things were never so dull so far as law practice is concerned, as they are at present. Lawyers, especially the young men, are starving. That is the literal truth, oung fel- lows, who started out here three or four years ago, made more the frst year than they have in any one since, and they have made less this vear than ever before. There is no litigation at all to amount to anything. Nobody seems to want Lo sue.’’ “And what good would a panic do?” “A panic! Why, look at the situation in Indfan- apolis. Since these banks failed over there, a few days ago, there has been over 100 suits filed. That meaus that at least 200 lawyers have received re- tainers and are pretty sure of goodfees. A finan- cial break is a lawyers’ harvest. Then we begin to think about suits, and atliachments, and assign- ments, and counter suits, aad pores turn their attention to Dig bills of cost. Itell you, a panic is what we lawyers want. Nothing else will do us any good. see Western Uuion is down to 71 to-day. That is a good sign. I’m sure the break is coming.’’ CIGARETTE smokers can now buy 20 Little Beauties round cigarettes for 10c. SUMMER EXODUS. Mrs. H, C. Noxon leaves for New York via the 0. & M. to-night. Ex-Gov.

THE CRUEL CORSET. Its History and the Hardships It Brings to the Female Sex. - = — Dio Lewis’ Arguments Against the Fashion in Wasps’ Waists—Mothers who Torture Their Children Day and N ght—Chains and Pad- locks Used to Keep the Deadly Contrivance on Young Girls. Writing of woman’s figure, the editor of Dio Lewis’ Monthly in the August number for the present year makes a strong argument con- demnatory of the use of the corset and tells some Stories of maternal cruelty that remind one of the ‘ haif-savage tortures Chinese children are submit- ted to, The declaration is made and based upon nu- merous studies from Marshall's “Great Anatom- ical Atlas’’ that man’s waist is naturally smaller compared with his shoulders than is the woman’s waist compared with her shoulders. The dress- maker, however. says that that shape in a wom- an’s chest, which does not taper trom the shoul- ders down to the waist, as a man’s does, is in bad taste, and she sighs with a weight of responsibili- ty when she reflects that after the Creator has finished his work upon a woman, it takes her twenty years to twist that woman into shape. Outline figures reproduced from celebrated works of art are shown side by side with the figures in fashiou-plates, and in the latter. the wasp-waists aré in queer contrast with the full and perfect forms of Cleopatra, Taonas, the Venus de Medici and the Venus de Milo, which the editor of the Monthly assumes to be the clinching point of his argument. His article on corsets in a previous number of the periodical calied outa great deal of severe comment and avery general discussion of the subject, many well-known au- thorities DECLARING THE CORSET BENEFICIAL to woman’s healih,and Dr. Alfred Chadwick of London going 20 far as to say that both boys and girls should, between seven and ten years of ages, put on corseis, and after that not allow their waists to enlarge. “A distinguished Chinese writer.” says Lewis in reply, “far more learned than Dr. Chadwick, in discussing the size of a woman’s foot, urges that if the little girl's coustituiion be strong, so that she can bear the pain and sleepiessness, her foot should be reduced to four inches; and, comments with warm approbation upon the cour- age aud thoroughness which,in many cases uu- der his observation, have accomplished greater success; mensionin’ with aamiration and pride one case in which the entire length was less than three inches. While this Chinese custom is far less destructive than tignt-lacing, it inflicts seri- ous harm in many ways, though it must be con- fessed that CDinese doctors think it beneficial to health. The Chinese woman with the small feet has passed through many years of great sufter- ing. One who has had yeurs of observation says: “During the first year the pain is so intense that the little girl can do nothing but lie and cry and moun. For About two years the foot aches con- tinually. Finally the parts become wasted and bloodless and the limb insensibie,” “Perhaps,” Lewis continued, “it 1s unnecessary that I should argue that such treatment of the feet is harmful, though I do not forget that 300,- 000.000 intelligent people believe in small feet. We do not. We believe that our feet, like our hands, shoula be left free to grow to their natural size and shape. * * * Probably it would be difficult 10 find a Chinaman who can rise above this cruel prejudice in regard to smal]l feet. Itis somewhat difficult to find any one among Us Who Can see beauty in a natural female form, while THE WASP-WAIST FASHION prevails. When we return to the classic, or natural form, the wWasp-waist will be hid- eous. * * * Fix in your mind ‘God's plan.’ When you come to believe that the Creator has good taste, and done his work in woman’s body well, your views of the dressmaker’s work will chauge. You will think, considering the vital organs inyvived, the corsei-maker 18 woman's most deadly enemy.” so much for the argument, In which It is clearly snown that the action of the diaphragm is retarded by the tight corset and respiration is forced to the apex of the lungs, producing that curious heaving a the upper portion of the chest always noticea- ble in ah over-exerted femaie. Now for a iew short stories. These are told by mothers who want to have spider-waisted daughters. One mother says that in trying to reduce the size of her daughter’s waist to the proper dimensions she had found it necessaryfor them to wear their corsets at night. 1t has been her custom, she says, te LACE THEM CLOSE going to bed, so as not to lose during the night the good which th corset has accomplished during the day. But her daughters cut the cord in the night, ana on a REMINGTON TYPE - WRITER. “a Warranted. Satisfaction guaran- teed. Type-writer supplies. Ma- chines for invoicing made to order.

From London Truth. The special providence which maintains the royal caste gave a striking exampie of its power on Friday evening. I had witnessed, fifteen years ago, the advent of Queen Isa- bella and her royal family at the Pavillon Rohan Hotel, in the Rue de Rivoli, and I was present last week at the arrival of her daughter-in-law, Queen Christina, at the terminus of the Eastern Raiiwav. ‘There was something inexpressibly Bohemian in the exiled Spanish royal family when they dropped down here from Pau. They looked more like strolling players who had had a bad season in the provinces than his- torical personages who still had well- filed coffers. Don Francisco entered car- rying a parrot and a favorite Angora cat. and jJeaning on the arm of a young grandee, too handsome to be manly, who might have been a jeune premier. Heand Marfori nad an altercation in the corridor. ‘Pine Queen was wrapped up in a bright tartan shawl, and was blue from cold, but lively. Sue talked at least to balf-a-dozen persons ata time on the stairs, and in a boisterous or hilarious manner, according to the nature of the order she had to give or the communica- tion that she had to make. A Chawwberilain, who had been seen from the Tuileries along wich M. Feuillet des Conches, did not know what to make of her. There was a priest in the party, but nothing in his exterior to sug- gest the idea of a religious life. His gar- ments might have: been assumed for stage purposes. Alphonso and his three younger sisters were mere-chiidren. ‘They stared about childlike, but clung to some toys and four-fo.ted pets which they had brought with them from Pau. Gentiemen and ladies of the suite were rendered morally limp by the adventures that had befallen them. In the knocking about they forg t the respect they owed tw the sovereign anu her family. Reverses of fortune are like theday of judgment—they break down conventional distinctions, aud show a fallen personage in a terribly true ight. Isabelia, it should be said, came out better thanany of her com- panions in misfortune. She kept up her spirits, and tried to sustain the cuurage those around her. When the Dowager Queen Christina turned her back on Marfori, the exile sovereign showed the courage of her opinion in asserting her right to act as and in the special providence already men- tioned never deserted her. l] thought about Isabella’s advent in the Pavillion Rohanas a few evenings ago lI watched the preparations that were being made to receive Queen Christina at the Eastern railway terminus. Grime and smoke were concealed in the waiting-room and hali by flowers and velvet hangings. A line of superb carriages was drawn upin the court. ‘There were ladies and geutlemen, evidently of high quaiity, on the quay awaiting the express jrom Strasburg. ‘Lhey talked Spanish, and the tongues of the iuadies went as rapidly as their fans. One oi them was the Duchess of Fernan-Nunez, who has still beaus restes of former beauty; another, the pretty Crevle lady, Senora Arellano: anda third, the Marchioness de Gueil, who, being connected with the roval family, should have been named trst. M. Moijland and Col. Lichtenstéin had been sent to pay ofiicial compliments in the names of M. Cuallemei- Lecour and the President of the Kepucvlic. ‘They stood slightly aloof, and talked to Cau bet, of the Prefecture of Police. M. Camas- casse did nut show himself; but there was quite a gathering of fat, oily Bourse Barons. who, fuiiof their own fmnportance, ordered about the railway officials. Policemen were on the lookout to keep unimportant sight- seers quite in the background. When the express came in sight ali hats were removed. A tittle, elderly and red-faced gentleman, who bad been treating the financiers de haut en bas, stepped forward alone. He was Don Francisco de Assisi,honorary parent of King Alphonso. The train then came up, a door was opened by a grandee, and from it ‘de- scended a youngish lady, blonde, somewhat thread-paper in figure, and dressed in blue of two shades. She tripped up to the dwarf- ish manvikin, whom I had seen fifteen years previously with the parrot and the Augora cat, leaning on the arm of the handsume young lord in waiting, and kissed him with reverential affection. All those who had been grouped on the quay stood back in a semi-circle. The heads of the gentlemen tle eiderly lady with a roly-poly figure de- sceuded Irom the saloon carriage. She was the Duchess of some Medina or other—I for- yet Which—is governess of the Infantidas, and she led Dy the hand to her Majesty a toddling wee thing, dressed upin a muftied style, befeathered and beribboned. ‘I'he Queen said, “This its your grandchild, merces,” and held herup to Don Francisco wo be kissed. A nurse brought forward a staring baby, which was aiso embraced. ‘Then the French geatlemen, who had been as reverential as the Spanish, advanced tv pay the cumpliments which they were charged to express. Christina was a shade more polite to them than when she was here on her way te Germany. I missed the Due de Montpensier and his son. What has hap- pened at Frohsdurf explains their absence. If the Comtesse de Chambord isto be wili brought to support the Comte de Paris, it vuly be on the positive understanding that he will help in every way in his pewer Don Carios in Spain. ‘Lhe beings whom I most admired were the ten horses that champed in the court and the Basque nurse. As St. Jolin wrote at Patmos about the scarlet lady, 1 beheid and won- dered with great admiration at the Bourse Barons and the Duke aod Duchess of Fer- uan-Nunez prostrating themselves before the maunikin wita the red face and the young- ish lady in blue at the railway terminus, I suppose they think that wealth alone would not enabie then to lord it over their fellows and that in crying: “God save Alfonso an Christina!” toey cry, “God save ourselves, and keep us lorever at the top of the wheei!”’ ARTHUR PACELE, 7702 County Road, St. Louis, Mo., says Brown’s lrun Bitters is the best tonic medicine he ever used. - The Curve Ball, From the Lancaster (Penn.)

For a number of at- tempts Hofford failed to get the ball to curve from the second post to the proper side of the third, the hail frequently striking the second post. Finally he got it around to hit the third post, and with a few more efforts accomplished the task to the satisfaction of everybody present, Mr. Houston promptly handing over the reward, For D psia, indigestion, Depression of Spirits aha General Neil. ty, in their various forms; also as a preveutive acuinst Fever and Ague and other Intermittent Fevers, the “Ferro- Phosphorated Elixir of Calisaya,” made by CASWELL, Hazanp & Co., New York, and sold by ali Druggists, is the best tenic; and tor pa- tients recovering irom Fever or other sickness it has DO equal. 1 THE twenty words for ten-cent columns of the Post-DiIsPaTcH is the best and cheapest {medium tor making known your wants.

Various members of the police department are at present in the position once occupied by Othelio. Their occupation’s gone. No lunger will the coin of the realm be left at the “‘vanquishiag poiat”’ io swell the purses of the finest police force in the world. No longer will the ck sag tape “sack” assert its potent sway. This morning the wvard of Irrustees deterwipet that the city shouid re- ceive the money whicb, itis asserted, has heretofore been going into the pockets of some whoshould be the last to obtain it. ‘lhey came to the conclusion that gambling is an evil that cannot be abated. ‘The love of specuiation is inberent iu mankind, and humanity in generai takes to gaines of chance as naturally as a Western Union “plug” operator does to blunders. So this morning, at the meeting ol tue board, an ordinance was read by Mayor Brown, and passed unanimously, which licenses gambviing dens and wakes the vwners contribute to the city treasury, in the piace of assisting in the support of defenders of the peace. ‘The or- dinance gues on to say that every piace Wuere games of chance are runfor money must pay a license of $100 per quarter, or $50 per month’ invari- ably in advance.

If they do, they are liable toa fine of $200, or sixty days’ imprisoument, or both five and imprisonment. ‘Trustee Nielson wanted the words “except during fair week” ‘inserted after the second-story clause, probably thinking that the city wouidn’t wear its usual Siuiling countenance if rondeau and ali the Other costly amusements of that costly scasun were not allowed to go un opeuly andabove board. ‘lhe Mayor de- | murred, however, and the point was not of | pressed. bent low, and were kept tor some} moments bowed. and their hats almost touched the ground.

Although Belgium possesses an uncon- sciunabie number of lack-land nobles, and althvugh in Brussels and Antwerp there are nearly as Many penniless counts and barons as rich ones, the Belgian aristocracy has a proper pride, and looks with extreme jeal- ousy upon any ‘usurpation of its privileges. In this view it is supported by the Belgian police, the emissaries of which called abvut a week ago upon more than 200 persons who have been accustomed to put coronets on their note paper, and curtly informed them that unless thev dropped those insignia they would be prosecuted. Thereupon some amusing little comedies were involuntarily acted.

The women of Kurdistan are stated to be strongly opposed to the census, and even disposed to resist the curiosity of enumer- ators with their lives. According to intelli- gence published in the Indian papers they have for the moment entireiy frustrated an atiempt to take a Gensus among them in Rizan, although the census officers were sup- ported by the military. The women of several villages, “‘five hun- dred fair and strong,” marched ont in a body and attacked the troops, who, whether actu- ated by fear or gallantry, turned and fled. It is added that the Turkish authorities will find it no easy task to overcome the resist- ance to an inguisitorial visitation of their homes by the Kurdish women, whoare rather famons for their Amazonian prowess. Those who are familiar with the details of the Turco-Russian war of 1855 will remember the Kurdish lady who went to Constantino- ple at the head of a thousand horsemen of her own raising in support of the national cause, and paraded and handled those troops with much effect before the ‘lurkish military authorities.

From the New Haven Register. Down in the deep green valley that is fringed with elms and pngrles apple trees and is fragrant with its wealth of wild flowers peeping forth from under a grove of old poplars at the foot of a’steep rocky bill, over which the highway above North Bran- ford writhes like an uneasy serpent, is the home of Damask Rose. It was the home of her father and her father’s father, and it has weathered the scorching blasts and icy winds of 140 tough New Engiand years. Damask does not live in it now, butina little trim white cot which looks askance at the passer from behind a wing of the old Rose resi- dence. Her father’s family swas once the largest and most social in the roundabout country, and the Rose mansion was then much resorted to by the young belles and beaux. And now aliare gone. All are dead save Damask, Damask and her cats alone remain. A New Haven gentleman told the reporter that this ioneiy old woman with the blush-rose name had 127 cats. A romantic-iooking old lady is Damask. Fully as romantic as her name. Short and wrinkled and not far from 70 years, a pair of brigiit eyes gieamed through ar goid owt: from under the dirty brown feit rim of the man’s hat upon her head. In one hand she carried a bright case knife, while with the other she raised her calico skirt as she moved through the nodding ciover with which the old front yar i was lilied. A pair of diamonds glittered in her ears, and a thick, grayish growth of silken hair pariially obscured her upper lip and chin. here was a black cat, with bronze sides, at her heels,a Maltese cat, with a white breast, lay dreaming on a flat stone in front of her, a gray and spotted leopard-like cat looked out from its nest of Straw in the entry of the old house; there was a handsome young prince of felines, in a luxurious robe of tawny gold, suspiciously mo. pce the visitor from behind the leop- ard, aud around the corner of the house was approaching a large and ugly-looking tiger cat, Whose appeara:ice left no room for doubt as to his capabilities as afighter. These were all the cats seen at the first look. When the reporier began to talk about the eats, Miss Rose eyed him suspiciously, but npon other subjects her conversation was Cheery and entertaining. Very soon the ad- vance guard of cats vanished into the green Vines avout the little valley, and the places had been taken by other cats—ugly cats and wiid-looking cats, some fat, some lean, and some of nondescript appearance, but none of them very pretty. It was a queer sight.

CIGARS WITH A FLAVOR. The Drugs Used to Increasethe Value of Cheap Brands, From the Indianapolis Journal. **Most peopie ljike a flavored cigar,” said an Indianapolis druggist to a Journal re- porter, who had stepped in to buy a weed. * Try one of these; I think you will like it.” The reporter took one of the brand recom- mended to’ him, lighted it and began to smoke. “I have to putup considerabie cigar flavor,”’ continued the drug man, “and I sup- puse some people wouldn’t find it so difficult a thing to quit smoking if they knew what the popular flavors are made of. On second thought, though, | don’t think it wouid make any difference, The fact that old ci- gar stumps are worked over into cigarettes and smoking tobacco, though thoroughly ventilated in the newspapers, never cured a smoker of the habit.” “Tell me something about these flavors,” said the reporter. “Well, since youinsist on it, I will. A flavor I have made a good deal of—it’s a fla- vor that, in the language of the trade, makes a ‘ten-cent cigar for five cents’—is made as follows: Guim guiac, gum toiu, tonqua beans and essence of pineappie, of each one ounce; valerian root, two ounces; laudanum (tinct- ure of opium), one ounce; oil of rose, six drops; Jamaica rum, halfa pint; macerate for thirty-six hours and pour off, using one ee to a pint of port wine, to blow on the liers. “A good many men who get attached toa certain brand of cigars don’t know what chains ’em. It’s the opium, and they get in the habit of using it unconsciously. Valerian taken habitually reoders the heart’s action inore rapid but feebler, causes hurried respi- ration and may occasion congestion of the kidneys. If its use is long continued it may paralyze theispinal cord, so the books say. Its action on the tongue and throat is more prompt and apparent, frequently causing epithelium. As to opium, its infernal eifects are well known. It would take an almanac toenumerate all the diseases it occasions, It’s opium and valerian that make the arti- ticially flavored cigar popular.” Neuril Cures Neuraigia.

From the Engineering and Mining Journat. About a month ago the company operating the sait mines at Avery’s, or Petit Anse, Iberia Parish, La., received a large quantity of dynamite for blasting purposes. ‘he same was stored in a magazine situated about 400 yards from the works. Large trees were in cluse proximity. On Saturday, July 21, a few minutes past 12 o’clock, a terrific storm burst on the island. Torrents of rain feil, aud peal after peal of lightning rent the skies. ‘The workinen had barely left and reached the boarding house situated at some distance fromthe works, when the lightning struck the magazine, and immediately there tollowed an awful explosion. For a few minutes all seemed entirely paralyzed. Re- covering, sume rushed out to ascertain the cause. 1t was then discovered that the whole building in which was stored the explosive compound bad disappeared, and in its place was left a yawning chasm fifteen or tweaty feet deep by about 100 feet in length. The trees surrounding were prostrated and shat- tered. One two and one-balf feet in diameter was carried by the iinmmense power in the blast 200 yards from where it previously stood. Every building on the island contigu- ous to the mines was shaken in a terrible manner, causing every glass door and win- dow to part with its glass. ‘The buildings containing the mills and machinery were much damaged, preventing access to the shaft for the time being.

A railroad collision occurred at a point on the fron Mountain and Southern Railroaa, one mile and a half from Cadet, a small station fifteen miles below DeSoto, yesterday morning, which resulted in the death of one man and serious injuries to two others. The engine of a sonth bound freight train became disabled.at Cadet early on yesterday and Engineer Brown Williams was ordered to go to Cadet and pull the train to its destination. For several days previous Williams had been doing a large amount of extra duty, and he complained that his mind was greatly bewildered by conse- quent loss of sleep. Nevertheless he prepared to obey his instructions and started with his “—_ accompanied by his fireman, Eugene If1ns- ton, for Cadet. His watch ran down _ shortiv after he left DeSoto and he did not discover the fact in time to avert disaster. Supposing he had ample time before him he proceeded on his way. He expected to meet a northbound freight train from Bismarck at Cadet, but lost so much time through his mis- taken impression that he haa plenty of time to spare that he lost his right of the track to Cadet, and should have stopped at Blackwell, five miles distant, In order to let the freight train pass him. He did not do so, however, but Kept on_ for Cadet ata high rate of speed. Meanwhile John Stephenson, the engineer of the north bound freight, had pulled out of Cadet station with his train of seventeen cars, loaded mainly with coal, ore and watermelons, and, supposing that Will- iams would side track at Blackwell in order to let him pass, put on a high pressure of speed aad let his train go. The two trains approachin each other on the same track met about a mile an a half from Cadet. Stephenson’s heavy train was coming on a down grade, while Williams’ engine was going up. Both men saw each other atthe samme time and each did everything in his power to save himself. They were too close together, however, to materially slacken speed and ina few seconds afterwards the engines came against each other with an appalling crash. Stephenson, his fireman, Patrick Glenn, and Henry Moore,the head brakeman, were in the act of jumping when the shock came, and the poor fellows were caught in the wreck of the engines and tender. On Williams’ engine neither Williams nor Pins- ton attempted to jump, aud both were bLuried in ‘the wreck. Other employes on Stephenson’s train came to the rescue of the injured men as soon ait- er the accident as they could. They found that Williams had been scalded by escaping steam from head to foot. and that Pinston’s head was crushed in such a manner that death must have been instantaneous. Henry Moore s6us- tained a. fractured’ arm, and is be- lieved to have received internal injuries. Patrick Glenn had half of one of his feet cut off and was severely bruised about the hody. Stephenson’s left arm was broken, and he sus- tained a fracture of the ribs as weil. The injured men remained at the scene of the accident without medical attendance until 2 o’clock yesterday aft- ernoon, when the first passenger train up from the wreck brought ali of them except Glenn, who was taken tohis home at Irondale, to the rail- road company’s hospital at Carondelet. Young Pinston’s body was sent to his parents at Bis- marck. Dr. Outten, chief consulting surgeon of the hospital, stated last night that Moore and Glenn would probably recover, but that the chances are very much against Williams. A SCARE, On Tuesday night the conductor of the Wabash express train, which left this city for ,Omaha re- ceived a telegram at St. Charles from an official of the coad, to the effect that trouble was to be expected from train robbers at Mexico. Accordingly nine heavily armed employes of the road were taken aboard at Mont- gomery, to be ready for the robbers in case they shoulda put in an appearance. ‘The passengers being appraised of the apprehended danger speedily concealed whatever vuluables thev had with them. The train reached Mexico in due time, but no robbers were on hand to molest the train. At Moberly Junction the guard was dis- missed and returned home. A _ dispatch Lo the same tenor was .forwarded to Mr, W. E. Gray, assistant superintendent of the Chicago aud Alton Road, which crosses the Wabash tracks at Clark’s Switch, and he at once pressed two or three cowboys who happened to be on board his train into service and felt reason- ably secure against the robers. No robbers appeared, however. The ex- planation of the scareis that the scheme orig- inated in the brains of some young hoodlums of Mexico, whose minds have been fired by reading Jesse James literature. A STOCK TRAIN WRECKED. Eight stock cars on the Missouri Pacifie Rail- road were wrecked and about tlirty head of cattle» were killed at Pacific City, in Franklin County, yesterday morning. Tie accident happened as the train was running siowly down’ grade to check up at the water tank, when one oi the brake-siroes fell off and dropped into a switeb-frog. Before the brakes could be applied the momentum of the rear por- tion of the train pushed the eight cars mentioned into the ditch. The cattle that were injured ere so badly mangled that they were shot out of humanity. A GOOD MARKSMAN, Addison Case Kills Himself in a Shooting Gallery. Shortly before 7 o’clock last night a middle- aged man walked into Tyler’s shooting gallery, on the northeast corner of Fifth and Chestnut, and began to practice with arifie. After a shot or two he said he believed he would prefer a pis- tol. It was given to him and he fired once, mak- ing a good shot. When the weapon, along twen- ty-two-caliber target pistol, was reloaded, the man placed it across his lefttarm to take aim at the target. Thenhe changed his position, said “I never could shoot that way,’ and _ plac- ing the muzzle of the _ pistol behind his right ear, he pulled the trigger. The man fell on the floor without saying another word. Officers Howard and Hobbs, who were in the neighborhood, rushedin. The patrol wagon Was summoned, and the man taken to the Dispen- sury. He was unconscious from the moment he lired the shot, and the wound bled only very little. Atthe Dispensary a search through his pockets brought to light several letters addressed to Ad- dison Case. One of them was directed to him at 325 South Fourteenth street, and was written by an _ 0Official of the Wabash Railway, informing Mr. Case that his services as a clerk were no longer needed. The suicide was sent to the City Hospital, where he died at 1:30 o’clock this morning. Mr. Tyler, one of the proprietors of the shooting-gallery, said that Case had come there frequently to prac- tice shooting. At his boarding-house, No. 325 South Fourte@nth street, it was said that Case had come here from Qiuio three months ago. He hac tirst secured a position from the Bridge and Tunnel Company, but later he got empioyment in one of the offices of the Wabash system. Two weeks ago he was taken sick, and soon after word was sent to him that his place woula be filled if he did not immediately report for duty. Last Thursday he was well enough to go out. He left the house, telling the landlord that he had secured atwo weeks’ leave of absence. That was the last heard of him at that place until last night. CARONDELET JOTTINGS. Return of Mrs. Hurd—The Larien Disap- pearance—Hurd’s Kecord. The meeting of the colored population at Blow’s Grove still continues, and the enthusiasm is rapidly increasing. At night large numbers of white persons can be seen in the grove, ahd appear quite interested in the proceedings. A decided sensation was produced here yester- day by the appearance of Mrs. Bura, wife of the sewing machine agent who leit here so suddeniyv with Mrs. Aurelia Larien. A short time before leaving Hurd induced his wife to go to Bates County in this State, on a visit to relatives for the wypery of improving herhealth. The day he left e sent her $1v, and that was the last she heard of him until ber arrival yesterday afternoon. A telegram was sent her “‘to come immediately” aft- er Hurd left, but being several miles from Holden it was not sent out to her, and becoming uneasy at not hearing anything from him she started to come and when she reached Holden the telegram was handed to her. She was wen in a state of fearful suspense during the trip, expecting to find tnat her husband Was dead, but insteaa, which was robably worse, learned that he had eloped with is employe, and when she heard this fell faintin to the floor.

Detective Furlong Effects a Neat Capture After an Exciting Chase, The Iron Mountain Railway Company has been greatly annoyed of late by the depredations of car thieves, whose work was dove s0 well that no one could get scent of them. Besides the annoy- ance, the amount of valuable goods stolen from cars, caused the company heavy losses. As most of the robberies were committed at DeSoto, a detective was detailed fo catch the thieves by Chief Furlong. The detective spotted one of the thieves, and foilowed him to St. -Louis last Tuesday. Here the detective was taken sick, and Furlong took the casein hand himself. The sus- pected marrwas followed Tuesday night andall day yeSterday in the hove that he would attempt to dispose of some of his booty. The fellow traveled about yesterday alone, but early in the evening. he was joined at the corner of Fourth and Poplar by two men, one of whom Furlong recognized as a@ man who had “done” two vears in the penitentiary for robbin acar. After some conversation the men farned down Poplar street toward the river, walking rap- idly. As soon as they reached the levee they turned southward. Furlong quickened his pace and turning suddenly came on the three men ab- ruptly, Pulling his hat over his eyes he passed them and walked toward the ferry landing. The disguise he wore made him an object of sus- picion to the watchman un duty, and Furlong had to explain his mission to get free. The three men walked towards a num- ber of freight cars near the Iron Mountain Rail- road warehouse and entered a space tormed by a double line of cars. One of the men stopped in front of a loaded car and hammered on the seal. This attracted the attention of the private watch- man até the warehouse, who. joined by Furlong, went down to investigate. he thieves took fright ana ran. Furlong captured the DeSoto man and handcuffed him, and then gave chase to the other two, one of whom, the stranger, com- pletely escaped. The ex-convict was caught. He gave his nameas Jones. Furiong and Murray twooK the men up Poplar street toward the Four Courts. Turning over to Spruce on Tenth street Jones bit Furlong’s thumb to the bone, threw a coat over the detective’s face and ran intoa lumber-yard, followed by Furlong. Shots were exchanged, but the man escaped. Furlong re- turned and accompanied Murray with the De Soto man to the Four Courts, where the fellow was locked up onacharge of burglary and iar- ceny.

HOWARD, of Honey Grove, Fannin County, Texas, under date of April 5, 1883, writes as follows: “T have been suffering during several years from severe iliness, ana a general breaking down of my physical system, and have tried the treatment and prescriptions of many doctors far and near, and trav- eled to the Hot Springs and other mineral springs fa- mous for their remedial qualities, drinking the waters and bathing systematically in their healing depths, but all to no avail, as I steadily failed in health; ana although informed by my physicians that my ail- ments and weaknesses were the result of kidney dis- ease ofa dangerous character,they could give me nothing to cure me. During the past two years my sufferings at times were dreadfui, and I had the most indescribable pains in the regions about the kidneys, the paroxysms of which were so sévere as to render it impossible for me to sleepy. While in this aeplora- ble and discouraged condition I was persuaded to try Hunt’s Remedy, and after using less, than hait a bot- tle my great sufferings and paroxysms of pain were entirely relieved, and I could sleep better ana longer thaa I had in two years before, and although Iam now on my third bottle only my improvement is very remarkable, and I regret that I did not know of the wonderful curative powers of Hunt’s Remedy before, as it would have savei me years of suffering. I heartily recommend it to all afflicted with any kidney disease or disease of the urinary organs,” “HIT MY CASE EXACTLY.” Please allow me to speak in the highest terms of “Hunt’s Remedy,” for it hit my case exactly. I had kidney and urinary trouble pretty bad. I was recom- mended Hunt’s Remedy. I took one teaspoonful as directed. I felt a decided change at the first dose, I took two bottles, and have felt like a new man ever since. Please receive the sincere thanks of myself for the benefits which I sought vainly for and founda only in Hunt’s Remedy. 1 will cheerfully give this same opinion of Hunt’s Remedy to anv oue who wishes it. by addressing % dm > i a: te ' ws > Wiss > 7 : SS « _ ae ae mS, : wpe eS ae bint Bg its ay \ : ~ uy? “ 4 P a f > = oS Paste ¢ * . ‘ “4 4 « : : = 4 Su G ee 6F Seal oi RISO sea aR a alls of ane ee : a . > P 1 eee ye ‘a Sy Ps 5 , “ em ¢ . = Fe 4 > = 7 mera ‘ » ox ; SP ; € : “>. * ? ia s'bae: ee) ey ee See A % d . ews inlet it, rm? ges root w Fo ae’ a 5 ae, oe ™ a 4 n = - 7 Ss Shiau & er, : > er * Ta. a be _ — 7 - = - J + , , ¥ ' . % * - t It is now ebb-tide in the clothing business, taken here. every Departm and when the on See it will be in the a the obs and eeonomical buyer the fall trade.
