Sam Lucas, a well-known colored mah, em- ployed by the Healy Bros:, leaped into notoriety last evening by marrying a white lady whom every One supposed was engaged to a young barber near tne Relay Depot. The lady in the case is Mrs. Shaughnessy, until recently the over- seer of the culinary department of a Fourth street boarding-house. The barber’s name could not be ascertained, but itis well known that he spent Sunday evening, till nearly midnight, with his lacy love. compiet- ing arrangements for their wedding, which was to take place next Sunday afternoon. Sam Lucas is & medium-sized, burly looking negro, very black, but possessing a veay winning manner, which wrought sad havoc with Mrs. Shaughnessy’s af- fections, and biasted the barber’s dreams of future happiness. Sam paid frequent visits to the boarding-house where the young lady was em- ew Ne and spent most of his leisure time in the citchen, but no one connected with the house ever Suspected he aspired to the voung lady’s hand. Shortly after 6 o’clock last evening Mr. Lucas, at- tired in a new suit of store clothing, visited Mrs. Shaughnessy, and shortly afterwards the couple left the house and started in the direction of the Colored Baptist Chureh, The Rev. Mr. Vattiman, the rector of this church, was at home and soon tied the nuptial knot, the happy groom expressing bis satisfaction in a resounding kiss on the cheek of the blushing bride as soon as the words which made them man and wife were pro- nounced, The female clement of the Irish population are thoroughly arousec at what they term the “audace ity of the pager in marrving a white woman, and she Irish at that.” About two dozen enraged women assembled in front of Hanly’s store about 2 o’clock this morning and loudly called for Mr. Lucas, but that gentleman took advantage of a rear door and a low back fence and was seen golug up Missouriavenue at a Dreak-neck gait. he women then .visited the police station and were anxious for some one to explain why Mr. Lucas was not arrested, and were informed he had violated no law in taking a_ white woman for a wife. Mr. Lucas returned to his work as soon as the angry delegation left the police station, but was notified by Mr. Healy to seek employment elsewhere. One of the police officers, who is well acquainted with the lady, says that she has a hus- band living, who is supposed te _ reside in St. Louis. Ifsuchis the case the ladies here will make every effurt to have her captured and -Pheprmaasen for bigamy. Mr. Lucas is elated over lis Conquest, and expresses a determination to hold possession of his wife if all the women in East St. Louis oppose him.

The Water-Works Investigation Reveals Strange Facts. Real Estate Transactions that Flavor of Jobbery—Supt, Chaphe’s Alleged Neg- lect of Duty for the Purpose of Specu- lating—His Property Acquisitions Near the Works—A Sale to the City—The Smelling Committee’s Report. A Post-DisPATcH reporter dropped into Mr. E. C. Slevin’s law office this morning and found him busily engaged preparing the report of the committee of the House of Delegates recently ap- pointed to investigate the causes that led to the shortage in the water supply a few weeks ago. Mr. Slevin is chairman of the com mittee, and has a mass of facts and figures which will be placed before the House to-night. The committee spent one day at the works at Bis- sell’s Point, and besides carefully examining the machinery took the testimony of Superintendent A. J. Chaphee, Commissioner Whitman, Collector John D. Stevenson and Charles Peel, engineer at Belcher’s Sugar Refinery, who held the position of mechanical engineer at the Water Works for the past six years. The investigation was pushed : {np other directions alsv, following up suggestions contained in the statements made by witnesses, if witnesses they can be called, and inquiring into SOME REAL ESTATE TRANSACTIONS that have the flavor of jobpery and ring-work about them. = “How did you find everything at the works? the Post-DisPATCH reporter asked. e “Oh, everything seemed to be all right,” was Mr. Slevin’s answer, as he laid down his pencil and tilted back in his chairto give his visitor au- dience. “We looked into the matter as far as We possibly could, and have arrived at certain col- clusions and recommendations which will be sub- mitted to-night. We have nothing else to do. You see we were instructed only to inquire into the cause of the shortage in the supply of water, and, as far as we have been able to ascertain thei. we will place these matters befure the House and be- fore the public.” “To what do you attribute the recent short- +B “Partially to defective valves, and partially to the fact that the engines are not made to work up to anything like their full capacity. Why, during the time that the water supply was the lowest and the danger of famine was most immi- nent, we ascertained that the quantity pumped was smallest. During that critical portion of the summer tie average number of gallons pumped daily was not more that 29,000,000, when 1t should have been about 33,000,000 to meet the public re- quirements. If No. 1 and No. 3 engines had been put to work the yield ought to have been 40,500,000 gallons daily.” “Can you account for the low average you have ven?’ ane one way and another yes. Commissioner Whitman told us that the valves used to force the water into the main leading to the tower were quickly worn out by the grit and sand in the water —that the LOST 20 PER CENT OF THEIR USEFULNESS every month, and, consequently, much of the water pumped went back ito the settling basin. Taking into consideration that the valves now used atthe works inthe connection designated, Mave been in use for the past few years, you Can estimate what their present worth must be, when they bave been losing 20 per cent of their surface every thirty days for that length of time. If they were subject to such wear and tear why were they not changed occa- sionaliy? Then take into consideration also that the low-service engines, whose valves have more contact with the sand and grit of tle river than the bigh-service machinery, do more pumping than the latter and there is further cause for doubt on this pot. Charles Peel, the engineer who voluntarily left the city’s employ some time ago, appeared before us and said that the valves did not suffer five per cent wear iu a year, and he made other statements that will have g great deal more significance, if they can be established as true. He said Superintendent Chaphe had purposely kept the engines froin pumping the required yey of waler ig ior what purpose he did not know. That he left the machinery in charge of minors, having his son employed in the capacity of engineer; and that instead of giving his time and attention to the business he was all the while engaged in real estaie speculations of bis own.” ‘‘What were these speculations?” “Well, we found that in one case he had bought a piece of ground adjoining the works for §150, sold it to &@ man named Hartwell for $200 and that it was conveyed to the city a short time alterward for $350, the ground being purchased as the site for the new eugine now in course of construction. We found that be had many transactions with Charles Crane, the real estate agent in that neighborhood, and that a string of property as long as your arm was assessed to hiin, all of 1texcept possibly some small parcels on Osceola street, being so sftuated that in time it can be transferred Ww the city AT A HANDSOME PROFIT. It seems strange that Chaphe, posittoned as he is, and with a comparatively small salary, should be able to acquire such a yast amvuunt of property in such a short time. He got itall in the past two or three years, und the selections he has made are to say the least, calculated to excite suspicion. “Did you meet Chaphe at the works?” “Yes, we saw him the day we wentthere. He tried at first to bluff us when we askea for infor- mation, stamping,-and saying “By G—d,” and otherwise expressing his irritation at our pres- ence. I spoke to him quietly, telling him that we were a committee of the House of Delegates, ap- pointed by that body to make an investigation of the works, and, if he could not courteously give us the information, we'd put somebody in charge who would. Then he drew in his horns rapidly, apologized, and answered our questions. he man’s actions § alone at the very outset of our investigation made us suspicious of him. It seemed as if he wanted to conceal something from us, and we were determined this should not be done.” “These real estate speculations of Mr, Chaphe’s, considering that his influence amounts to some- thing in the matter of improvements, laying pipes, etc., look very much as if there wasa big job on hand. Don't you think se?” Yes, it does look that de & but I can’t say any- thing ag mig 2 about such a thing. We have secured the facts I have already given you, and they will be embodied tm = our’ re- rt, and we wille recommend the appointment of another committee, if the present one is not good enough to make a thorough investigation of Supt.Chaphe’s true rela- tions with the public works and to ascertain if there is any truthin the outspoken charges made against him. He is a perfect autocrat in that piace and has Commissioner WHITMAN RIGHT UNDER HIS THUMB. They tell me all he has to do is w tell Whitman, who appears to be honest and conscientious in the discharge of his duties, todo a certain thing and it is straightway done.” ’ “You don’t think Whitman or any others are in ring with Chaphe to make a good thing out of e elty in this business?” “No, | don’t think Whitman would go into any such echeme. He is too good a man.’ . *Poe you think Chaphe would do it?” “I have nothing more to say about Mr. Chaphe's doings than | bave said already,and the mere fact that our committee will reportin favor of a iur- ther investigation of affairs al the Water-works, and particularly an tnquiry into the charges against the superintendent, is an indication that we desire to khow more than we do about the man.” “Has he much property in the neighborhood of the works?” “Well, I should say he had. He has property all around there, Inarecent recommendativi by Coumissioner Whitman itis suggested that a new main to the Water Tower be run along May and Douglas streets to Fourteenth, and thence to tnetower. Looking further lito the matter we found that nearly ail the roperty along the pro posed line of the main en May and Douglas streets Was assessed against A. J. Caaphs, which was at any rate an important aulscovery.” “The property, I suppose, tsu’t worth much?’ “No! 1 guess Chaphe didn’t pay much for it; put when the city comes to buy it, there will be a pret- ty high and fancy price asked for it. He also owns property in the neighborhood ef the Water Tower, and altogether seems to have had a gova eve for bargains since coming into the city’s em- lo _? siete WHITMAN'S EXPLANATION, “What did Whitman say about the shortage?” “He attributed it to the great waste of water that was constantly going on in the city, but he was atly contradicted by Gen. Stevenson, who .said he got revenue from almost every gallon of water that was pomped last yest. Here he calculation upon a and allowing fifty galions © each person, the consumption by individuals, amounted u hg for sprints there wg po ™ Hi 000,000; the meters in factories and private build- showed that 1,504,000,000 sallons Lid been . . vators used 235,000, Idings 28:,97 4 4 were 700 odd Hopper water-closets in the district, and 300 and odd pan-closets. through which 800,000 gallons of water flowed. Upon these ficures you ¢an makean estimate of the vast amount that must have been required by the closets of the whole city. I, say. required, because TIT think water used freely in this way is beneficial to health. It \is_ probabl because we have used water so liberaliy--waste it you may say—that our city is In such a splenaid condition, hygienically speaking. Still the allow- anve of water to individuals is very small here. We do not award each more than fifty gallons a day, while in other places the consumption was as high as 600 or-700 gallons a day to each inhabi- tant, For my part lam IN FAVOR OF GREATER FACILITIES for supplying water, and the full and free use of it to everybody. Col, Fiad_ has ever since 1876 been harping on the subject of metres. He wants the Worthington meter put into each house in the eity, and thinks that would regulate the supply and present waste or possi- bility of a shortage. ‘The meters are vo good and they cost too much. Dr. Lutz told me he had one n iis house, and just tor an experiment one night shut down ali the cocks, not a drop of water was used, yet when he came to look at the meter in the morning it registered 9,000 gallons.”’ “There would be another chance for a big job in that scheme, wouldn’t there?’ “I should say so. Every one of these meters.from the % to the 42 inch costs from $65 to $400—these are Col. Flad's own figures—and as there are 20,000 houses to supply with them, the ainount of money involved would be immense. The money that would have to be paid for meters would be sufficient to buy the city two first-class high service engines, and make water plenty in- stead of restricting its use. THE REPORT. “To summarize our report,” said Mr. Slevin in concinsion, ‘we willstate to the House that the pumps at the works do not operate properly ; that they are not run to their capacity; that the low service engines pump more water than the high service engines seem to be abie to take, and that the management does not appear to be exactly what it should be for the money that is paid. We indorse the idea ot loca- ting the new works at the chain of rocks, aud give the facts we have iearned aboulfMr. Chaphe’s real estate speculations, which, ifis charged, are carried on to the neglect ofjthe duly for which the city pays him. We close with a recommendation _ P committee be appointed to investigate Mr. Chaphe.” The committee consists of E. C. Slevin, chatr- man, and Messrs. G. H Brueggemann, Henry Alt, Horace Fox and Andrew McAllister. THE AMOUNT INVOLVED. Reference to Col. Flad’s report on public works printed in full in Wednesday morning’s Republic- an Will show the amount of money involved in ponenens real estate transuctions for water-works mprovements and additions, The report says the boara considers it imperative that in order to secure the city from a scarcity of water in future $1,799,000 must be appropriated, at least $500,000 of which will be required for opening streets and laying new mains. The opening of Bisseli street alone is put down at $90,000, and it is very probable Mr. Chaphe or Mr. Crone, the real @state agent, with whom Chaphe is said to have a part- nership contract, owns a great dealof property aulopg the proposed new street. . MAYOK EWING TALKS. A Republican Policy in His Ap; >intments-- Slight Hopes for Gross. Mayor Wm, L, Ewing returned from Vincennes lastevening. This morning his office was fairly besieged with callers. Chief of the Fire Depart- ment Sexton came in on official business, having some nominations to make in the Department. The greeting between him and the Mayor was cheerful and unmarked bv restraint. They did not talk about anything but business. The May- or approved the appointments after merely gianc- ing at them. In fact it was left to a PostT-DISPATCH reporter to discover that one of the appointing documents was made in blank, the name not being written into the space provided for it. The Mayor found time during the pressure of his engagements to talk briefly to the Post-DISPATCH reporter about Gross’ appointment. ’ “Was Gross urged for the position of Chief last spring when the opposition toSexton was assert- ing itself?”’ ‘No; his name was not mentioned.” “Have yoa in your possession any document signed by business men protesting against the re- appointment of Mr. Sexton?” oo have not. 7 e e ~ ea eae eT ee a aaa | ht two =. antelopes and A supply of mountain grouse and wild To-morrow morning the party will eommence the descent of Lincoln Pass and wilt cainp In the val- ley of the Gros Ventre River, where the first view the grand Telon Mountains will be obtained.

Brocken- brough,and Mrs. Clements was.accompanied by her counsel, Justice Field. Dr. Rutledge testified concerning the manner in which he had become possessed of the child. He said that the child was given into his care as a boarder on Septem- ber 1, 1881, and remained with him as his gue# until March 1. 1882. About that time the deed of adoption was signed by Mrs. Clements and delivered to Dr. Rutledge. The negotiations were conducted by Mrs. Clements’ attorney. . Dur- ing the hearing this afternoon Mrs. Clements’ at- torney announced that he would not at- tack the validity of the deed of adoption, but would confine himself to proving that Dr. Rut- ledge@ was an unfit person to have charge of the child, but at the conclusion of the examina- tion Judge Lewis felt constrained to remark that he had heard no testimony bearing in that direc- tion.

FORENOON SESSION, CLOSING AT 1 P. M. No afternoon session of the Merchants’ Ex- change will be held untilSeptember10. Monday’s board opens at 10:15 a. m.; on other days at 9:15 a. m. The receipts of wheat in Liverpool ‘for past week were only (?) 671,700 bu., of which 351,400 bu. were American. If this keepson the supply in Europe won’t show much reduction.— Arrivals of wheat in Chicago are growing larger, the weather throughout the Northwest now is fine and Chicago banks are sending unusually large amounts of money into the country to move the new crop. It is expected that recelpts there with- in a short time will be very heavy of spring wheat.——The first rush of new vats to market 1s over and there has since then been a very heavy falling off in arrivals. A shipper located in North Missouri writes a St. Louis. firm that he is paying 2c to 2ic per bushel, and the farmers arel not inclined to sell at these prices, so he can only pick up alittle ata time. As this shipper has a 15-cent rate to St. Louis it will be seen that he has not much margin left to work en. An offer was sent out yesterday of 251,c laid aowr. here for a round lot of oats, but there was no response from the country holders.~—_Tommy Dunn, the telegraph operator, Who prior to the strike received the Chi- cago grain quotations on ’Change, went back like a sensible fellow to work yesterday, This morn- ing he put in his appearance in his old position at the Chicago blackboard. Tom was heartily cheered by the operators, who were glaa to see him back.——Business was so déad in the grain it this morning that even when Ben Barnes of- ered to be one of fifteen to sell five October wheat he couldn’t make the trade.——The Exchange rostrum is, and has been for some time, hand- somely decorated with a newspaper of June 22, 1883, and an umbrella of date 1832—from its ap- arance. This umbrella will be used by rudder Bill Boyd when he delivers his celebrated lecture on “Anglivg for Suck- ers as a Fine Art.’’——The amount of grain on passage to the United Kingdom for ports of call and direct ports on given dates: Aug. 11, 1883.

Miller & Co., of Broadway. He received a complete outfit for a brass band, including all the brass and reed instruments, bass and tenor drums, etc. Itis understood that,Frauk Miller has engaged professors of music to teach him how to play the whole outfit, and this fall will, all by himself, give evening concerts for the amusement of his neighbors.——P. F. Kelleher & Co. to-day sold at public sale on ‘Change 100 shares American Brake Company at $6 75 per share. fter a firmer opening on strong public cables | wet weather in England, along with a slightl her New York, wheat futures became wea and sagged down in price. Later cables received by private individuals réported wheat as quieter, owing to more favorable weather in England and foreign markets were influenced by the increase in the American supply. Receiptsin the West- ern markets were large, 127,000 bu here, 155 cars in Chicago ahd 260 cars in Toledo. The tone of markets elsewhere turned decidedly weaker and rices declined. All these bearish influences soon nrned the tide in the home market. There were freer offers to sell and fewer buyers, most of lat- ter being for scaling and few reguiar orders being received. As the market kept on declinin the bear element became bolder and hammere away vigorously until by the ciose the market was %@ic below yesterday’s close. Corn futures were fu the dump pretty badly, at any rate ao he was a good deal of dumping going on. Early cab . were firm, but with warmer weather here and 4 the country and large receipts—482 cars alone in Chicago—the feeling in the markets of this country was weaker and prices went down. In the home market there was some free selling, nofabl | one firm that commanas most of the stock of No. 2here. It is understood they were selling as they have no export orders and expect none as long as q e is so strict at New Or- leans. Prices declined at the | : ;4°5 ’ Je a5 ; | only a few sales being made to millers, but con- siderable of the No. 2 red to speculaters. Cash corn Was lower, except rejected, which was act- ively sought for by order buyers and was in small supply, so that it bettered in price; No. 2 mixed was slower sale.

A quieter market and really easier in feeling, owing to the decline in wheat, but there was no material change in price.

Liverpool spots were dull and easier at 1-164 lower and futures declined 3 and 4 points and were dull. Yarns and fabricsin Manches- ter were reported dull and tending down. New York futures were off several points and spots easy, but there was no quotable ehange in the latter, with middhng at 103-16c and sales of 442 bales, 412 of which were to spinners and 30 to exporters. New Orleans spots were duli and unchanged at 934, but futures followed other speculative mar- kets in their decline. The St. is market showed more life, sales of 264 bales being re- ported up to 2:30 p, m. and prices steady. The Greenviile (Miss.) Times says: ‘There isa great deal of talk about the cotton worms, and if the reports of them which we hear indicate the real extent of the damage in store, tne crop wiil be destroyed early. Though cotton worm 1n- dications are especially liable to mislead. Except for this danger the crop prospects continues well. The St. Joseph, La., Journal reports the worm as in great numbers in their parish, andis satisned the worm will gtrip the stalks of their leaves be- tween the 25th of Augnst and ist of September, thus destroying the top crop of old cotton and al- most entirely ruin the young cotton planted after the overflow.

Itis to be hoped that the Council will appreciate the gravity of the situation this evening. EE Up to this time no person connected with President ARTHUR’S exploring expedition has been snake-bitten. The saving to the whisky supply on this account is something im- mense. . van Tne boss barbers have resolved to keep their shops open until noon on Sundays. They have found a littie clause in the kind- hearted law of 1857 which gives them a chance, too. Mr. BLAINE starts off in his Presiden tial race with the indorsement of a fag end of the Republican party of Virginia. This is equivalent to a cabbage leaf in the hat in the sunstroke season. In the event that the city of St. Louis is obliterated and the spot where she once stood is sown with ashes, will the cities of Sedalia and Kansas City profit by the change? We are asking for information. — — STRIKING telegraph operators are going into the old camp and surrendering every day. If the strikers can only hold out until Mr. MAacKAyY’s postal telegraph lines are constructed, they will have a nice thing of it. Mn. WALSH, the architect, will not sign the contract for the Exposition Building as pre- sented to him by the directors, and it is pos- sible thata St. Louis man may not have the honor of erecting the magnificent monument after all. ee ee FirRE ENGINE, No. 5, was upset yesterday in West Eighteenth street, while rashing to a conflagration. There was a ‘‘depression”’ in the street and an axle was snapped off. Fortunately nobody was killed. Hurry up the new streets. : oo —- Ir they had a man with a real nose down around the Republican office they might occasionally get out a newspaper. The Mongolian type of nasal organ has never contributed agreat deal to journalism—or anything else, for that matter. — -—-— — ——— - ——— Ex-Gov. PHELPS is not in good trim to make a fight for the Governorship. As soon as a venerable, statesman appears in the political arena, his shield on one arm, his gladius in the otherand a health certificate pinned te his breech cloth, he drops very low in the French fintuals. Tue Associated Press excursionists—in other words, the newspaper. editors and pub- lishers of leisure—who have been out visit- ing the Yellowstone region, have arrived in Chicago in good condition and have adopted the usual heartfelt resulutions thanking the railroads that dead-headed them, etc. The press and the railroads move along in sweet harmony. A CrIcAGo Tribune correspondent has made the startling discovery that a part of ARTHUR'S business in the far Northwest this summer is to familiarize himself with the country and consider a scheme looking to the annexation of British Columbia in the inter- est of several great railway schemes. We have just about reached the tail-end of the silly season, it seems. AN appeal is made by the Humane Society for contributions to enable it to carry on its its good work. The bad streets of St. Louis cause a vast amount of cruelty to horses and the society has performed excellent service in regulating the business of thoughtless. avaricious men, but what is badiy needed here 1s a society for the protection of small humans beifigs in the shape of children. MAYOR EwINnG was gaining friends for himself and his administration with great rapidity so long as he maintained a dignified composure in his dealings with the Solid Sev- en. But the moment he seized upon the Fire Department as a means of gaining a political point over his opponents in the Council he dealt himself a terrible blow in the small of the back. He has lost considerable ground since last Friday. EVERYBODY seems agreed that the Firz- GERALDS who have been conducting an alleged Claim Agency in Washington City for years are arrant knaves and swindlers, but it is strange that Col. DupDLEy, Commis- sioner of Pensions, permitted them to do bus- ness in his department when he must have been thoroughly cognizant of their disrepn- table practices. The explanation which he voucnsafes is entirely too thin. —— Mr. PLEASANT HENDERSON, a wealthy farmer of Knox County, Il, as filed a pe- tition for divorce from his Wile JosEPHINE, and the accompanying affidavits of their two ie, | ‘ 4 if eee ‘Yas £ ti ’ ir “ye 5 ‘ ' "el ; = » « ‘ 7. 1% : ign .

CralG of the Illinois Supreme Court. The younger ‘son deposes that he was an eye-witness of improper acts between his mother and the eminent Supreme Judge in the Henderson mansion. From the papers filed in the case so far, it appears that the lady refuses to leave the house, and declares that she has the loins of the law on her side and can do what she pleases under the protection of the Supreme Court. Poor old Illinois! se 7 Ir appears that the law of 1857, unde which the saloon-keepers claim their Sunday privileges, was not accepted by the city of St. Louis at the election following its enact- ment. In fact, it was rejected at the polls. It never hada valid existence so far as St. Louis is concerned. This seems to be a “deadener”’ for the Saloon-Keepers’ Asso- ciation. . JOLLY BOYS, ALL! Yesterday morning at an early hour the pleasing spectacle was presented of a party of city officials and their friends starting off on an alleged fishing excursion in two of the city’s ambulances. The cortege took up the line of marqh from the corner of Broadway and Washington avenue, at which point a liberal supply of beer and edibles was hoisted on board for sylvan consumption. City Marshal Emin Tuomas was there and Police Commissioner KINKEAD and the Mayor’s genial and jovial brother and a host of other gentlemen more or less identified with the city’s affairs. It wasa nice party, and we have every reason to believe that the gentlemen enjoyed themselves in an old- fashioned, free and easy way. But the question arises, what right had these jollv fellows to appropriate the city’s ambulances and horses for a picnic of this character? They saved an eXpenditure of $50, perhaps, but they wronged the tax-pay- ers of the municipality to that extent and sei a most pernicious example. Noman con- nected with the city government in any ca- pacity is authdwized to subject city property to his own private uses. It is customary, we are told, for city officials to use the wagons belonging to the Fire Department when making incursions into the surreunding country for pleasurable purposes. This is a bad custom—in fact a small swindle upon the tax-payers—and a stop should be put toitat once. The city of St. Louis is not so rich nor so prosperous that it can afford to provide its servants with vehicles and teams for junketting purposes. The official whois responsible for the care of the city ambulances should be severely reprimanded for permitting two of them to be used by the junketting party yesterday. This may seem like small business. But it is small business for men in the employ of the city, when ‘‘on pleasure bent,” to help themselves to materials which du not belong to them. Mayor EwInG could do the city a service by putting a stop to this business, so far as it lies in his power. We look to him at least to reprove the gentlemen who appropriated the city ambulances yesterday. CAMPAIGNS LIES, The Republicans have started an old-fash- ioned Posey County campaign of lies in Ohio and Iowa. Gov, Foster led off with a statement that Judge HOADLY had declared that his nomination for Governor had cost him $50,000. The Judge denounced the statement as false and demanded Gov. Fos- TER’S authority. When the name of the no- torious ‘“Jayhawker,’’ correspondent of the Enquirer, was given that name alone was sufficient to justify a verdict of ‘not prov- en.” But “Jayhawker”’ himself admitted that Judge HoapLy had made no such dee- laration. He tried, however, to let himself and Gov. Foster down easy by detailing an alleged conversation with HoapLy,in which the latter seemed to’ admit that he had bought the -nomination. Judge HoApLy telisa New York Jlerald man that when ‘“‘Jayhawkér’” visited his office on the 1st of July he looked upon him as a political ene- my and held no such conversation with him as alleged. Whien asked if there was any conversation at all about the cost of the nomination Judge HOAnDLy replied: Not a word, not one single word; nothing of the kind. Nothing was said on any other sub- ject than of his purpose to spend three weeks in Ohio seeking out Democratic dissatisfaction, which 1 looked on as hostile to me and the Demo- cratic party. This is the only time I have seen “Jayhawker”’ to speak with him for months, and this conversation iasteda only a few moments. In lowa the Republicans are reporting Judge KINNE, the Democratic nominee for Governor, as having said ina speech at Greenfield : I am in favor of a saloon on every hill top, and on every roadside, and on every street and thor- oughfare, and in all public places, the more the better. Taking this as a text, they are denouncing what they call ‘his bold advocacy of the saloon, the Jail, and the Poor House, against the home, the church, and the schooi-house, and his plea fora saloon and a dram-shop on evéry hilltop and roadside, and street, and public place.” Of course Judge KiInwe was merely making the plea that the more publicly the liquor traffic is conducted the more it feels the wholesome restraint of pub- lic opinion, and the more itis conducted on the contraband plan pursued in Maine, the more it demoralizes and poisons the life of the community. By garbling this familiar argument, and by downright forgery, the Republican organs try to sustain their in- famously false charge that the opponents of Prohibition are in favay of tearing down the homes of the people, jheir charches and sehuol-houses, to erect if thelr places dram- ? 3a ‘ ‘and the Prohibition cause must be in des- “sort to such tactics.. party for Governor of a ‘great State, would be stupid enough to utter such language as the campaign liars impute to Judge K1nne, perate straits when its'advocates have to re- a a ee not THE Sedalia Democrat is good enough to attempt to explain why it is that there isa deep-seated hostility in interior Missouri to the city of St. Louis. The explanation may not be lacking in interest to our b usiness men. Here it is: : We believe the cause is two-fold, arising first from the contempt shown the people of this State and the contumely heaped upon them by certain metr opolitan newspapers; and second, from the lack of reciprocity between city merchants and country customers, The weaithiest business men of Chicago are on terms of personal intiniacy with many of the leading merchants of this section, while the business men of St. Louis are only Known by reputation. ‘There is no more cor- diality, no more sympathy between the leading interests of St. Louis and the magnificent inter- ests Ol the interior than there is between Mon- terey and Quebec. Whevever a bill is pending before the Legisiature respecting the grain in- spections, for instance, every prominent member of the Merchants’ Exchange has himself inter- Viewed—from Web M. Samuel aown—and takes occasion to refer to the legislators as “d——d grangers” and “d——d fools,” and “dangerous Bourbons,” and “infernal Rebels.” This sort of thing has universally characterized the dealings of St. Louis with the Interior, and, as a conse- quence, the interior has no pride Whatever in the development of its metropolis. Certain citizens of St. Louis have referred to the Sunday clause of the Downing bill as “a granger law.” The grangers have acvepted the responsibility and are atvending to its enforcement. A society should at once be organized here for the purpose of cultivating friendly re- lations with the agrestic and rural sections of the State. Otherwise we may be cut off in the flower of our wickedness one of these days and left to starve. If the prejudice against the city continues to grow as it has grown during the past year we may be com- pelled to seek the protection of Illinois. We understand that some of our large brewers are in favor now of having the city annexed to the Sucker State. Mr. BROLASKI, a professional money- lender, makes a defense of his calling in another column of the Posr-DisPAtTcH to- day. itis only necessary to say.in reply to him that society has never considered it safe to place money on the basis of common property. A man may sell a horse for what- ever he can get, but the law-makers have held for ages that an exorbitant rate of in- terest for money 1s improper and hurtful. Hence the laws against usury. The point made by Mr. BRoLASKtI1 that the P ost-D1s- PATCH takes the advertisements of men of his class is not a strong ane, We can- not undertake to be responsible for the honesty or fair-dealing of parties who avail themselves of our valuable adver- tising columns. Our opinions are expressed in our editorial columns. We frequently re- fuse advertisements when we havea personal knowledge that a swindle is intended, but as a rule, advertisers do gheir own edit- ing in this as in other newspapers. It is barely possible that professional Shyiocks, who charge from fifty to eighty per cent for the use of money, may be benefactors at times, but the man who takes advantage of his fellow-creature’s necessities to drive a sharp bargain is never, at any time, a pleas- ing object to contemplate. a ae REPUBLICAN lowa has a great deal to learn yet in the matter of administering lynch law. She must look to Mississippi for true ethics. Recently a young merchant was murdered and robbed in the town of Oakland in that State. A negro named Jor PAYNE was arrested, and, according to cus- tom, he promptly confessed. A _ general meeting of the populace of the town and sur- rounding country was held. The Sheriff, after an eloquent appeal surrendered the accused. A court ala Lynch was promptly organized with the Hon. F. M. Moone, Mayor of the town, presiding, Six hundred burghers and yeomen heard the negro’s con- fession. A couple of able attorneys addressed the crowd as prosecutors. A verdict in be- half of prompt execution was unanimously rendered. A gallows was erected at once. The culprit ascended with a satisfied air, made another little speech by way of confession, and was swung off in good style. In the language of the mechanical reporter, “there was a large crowd in attendance, and everything passed off quietly.”” Consider- able expense was saved to the countv by this primitive but decorous proceeding, and ev- ery body is satisfied, including the principal actor. OVER in Hamilton County, Ohio, where a great political battle is to be fought in Octo- ber, the Republicans have made a good ticket. Ex-Congressman Tom YounG was nominated for Auditor. BEN EG@aneston came to the surface again and was nomi- nated for the State Senate. The Legislative ticket is quite above the average, though it) may trouble Capt. Jim Rourrtin, the old Chief of Police, to explain his claims upon the publicasa law-maker. The friends of Judge HoADLY will have some difficulty to- morrow in making up a ticket to match the one placed in the field by the Republicans. —_—_ — _—_—_——CCCO PERHAPS the peace we how enjoy is but the delusive lull precediog the terrible torna- do.

NEw YORK, August 17.—The World says: “Blaine’s success with the Virginia convention recalls the story of the little boy whv was asked how many fish he had caught. He answered: ‘When I catch this one and another one that 1 am alter I will have three.’ ”’ THE TIMES. The Times says: “Uniess the straight out Republicans of Virginia feel entirely sure that the great and magnetic name of Mr. Blaine will send a thrill through the length and breadth of the old dominion, it is ‘bad politics’ for them to uncover that branch of their campaign at this early day. Simply as emg of Mahone, these straight- outs are sufficiently objectionable to the admunis- tration no doubt, but the moment they begin to talk apout Mr. Blaine they are treading on the administration’s own toes.”’ THE BUN. The Sun says: “It seems hardly worth while for the public to concern with itself finding excuses for Courtney’s failure, as the oarsthan can, no doubt, produce reasons as fast as hearers can di- gest them. But it should be noted that he was almost at his own homestead in the late race.since he lives on Cayuga Lake, which is only a few miles distant from Seneca. He thus had his own iriends and neighbors about him, besides being familiar witn. the winds and waters of the region. Asto Hanlan’s superiority at the oar, if anybody is still skeptical on that subject, there are still several otber contests opea for settling the matter during the season. THE HERALD. The Herald says: ‘“‘The high tariff makes low wages. All workmen ought to remember that. High tariffs are the work of great corporations, who continually lobby Congress and intimidate public men to prevent tariff reform. That is what the trades unions ought to strike at.” THE TRIBUNE. The Tribune says: “The next Democratic can- didate will be a friend of Mr. Tilden. Possibly the left-hand triends of Mr. Tilden may be enthusi- astic on that account. At ali events, we can con- ratulate them in advance upon a nomination so delightful to them.” POLITICAL DRIFT.

THE Philadélphia Press is inclined to predict that the Presidential candidate who will hang on to the tree after the June fall is not likely to be the one that prematurely develops. Ir is the opinion of the New York Globe (negro organ) that Presidént Arthur ‘is the oniy Repnb- lican President since milk-and-water Andrew Johnson who has shown that he holds the race, as a political factor, in supreme contempt.’ A WASHINGTON correspondent writes to thé Philadelphia Times: “It is Deeoming more and more apparent that Mr. Blaine has not impressed his former supporters with the understanding that he does not intend to be in the next Presi- dential race,”’ CONGRESSMAN Thomas B. Ward, of Inaiana, who defeated the late Godlove 8, Orth, is reported to have said that he is not for Mr. Randali for Speaker under any circumstances, as he does not think he would represent the democratic, senti- ment of Indiana. . “IT pon’r blame Mr. Dorsey for getting mad,”’ saysaneminent Republican, “but I don’t think he ought to have given it away that we paid as high as $20 and $75 for some men’s votes in 1880.

Where the Renders of the Post-Dispatch Get a Hearing. Sr. Lours, August 17, 1883. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. You may find this of interest to some of your numerous readers, and especially members of the Merchants’ Exchange. The certificate of mem- bership of one of the Chicago Board of Trade was directed to be sold for the benefit of the holder’s creditors, and he carried the judgment (Barclay vs. Smith) to the Supreme Court of Il}inois, where it was reversed. Judge Craig, in the opinion, said: ‘‘The certificate only entitles the holder to attend the meetings of the Board and deal in the various products of the country, but he is not en- titled under it to any dividends or pecuniary pro- fits; though a valuable privilege it is not property, and ts not subject to sale for the mémber’s debts. It is a right which may be regarded as. valuable, and which has.a market value but it is a right which cannot be divided or destroyed, except by the Board itself, or a failure of the member to con- form to its rules and regulations,. and itis not transferable, except the assignee is approved by the votes of at least ten directors. This member- ship is like the membersliip of a church, with its privileges, and the membership in Masonic and other social or zations, and licensés to carry on certain calliugs or business, It has never yet been claimed that these privil , however valu- ar ey be made the su pee ofa to satisfy a ’ ully, : WILLIAM F, HURCK, Rough Riding the City.

RKespectfuily, A SUBSCRIBER. Ohio and Iowa. From the New York World. The bigotry and presumption of the lowa Re publican ieaders are made more offensive by the hypocrisy by which the action of the party is marked in other States. In Ohio, where the Re- publican leaders would giadly outrival their lowa brethren, they are begging for Prohibition votes on one hand and pretending liberality to- wards the liquor interests on the other. There they carry on acampaign of mixed drinks—liquor, beer and cold water. Inthe vicinity of saloons they are quite moderaté in their estimation of the liquor business. Among the beer gardens they see no particular harm in lager. they are all cold water and cant. The people may rest assured that in Iowa Re- publicanism ia seen fn its true character. The party.has grown arrogant’ and intolerant. The old issues that gave it liberal ideas and noblo principles are dead and buried. Its character is gone. Itis dry-rotted with corruption in official life and must of necessity have some issue to maintain jn order not to be driven to defend its own bad official record. It must perforce antag- onize the Democracy. For this reason it runs into Prohibition and seeks to attract fanatics and enthusiasts toits side by essaying to strip the people of their rights.

When the Post-DIsraTeH, in October of last year, first called attention to the extortions of the sharks and money-lenders who were preying and unfortunate of the city, persons whe were lucky enough to have no experience in that direction — Rittle attention to the terrible revelatious. nstances were cited all over towp of cases of ex. tortion of the most fi Rt nature. In most in- stances. however, the victims were those who had not the necessary influence to nake a hard fight. ago all the facts in the case were Mop before the public in a sertes of articles in his paper, aid the evidence was collected which been produced in the eourts. ‘ Evans and others whose names have come into disagreeable prominence lately figured in these articles, and their methods of transacting business were fully explained aud illustrated by figures. It was stated then that it was a curious fact that the person who borrows is always more or less ashamed of having done s9, while the one who lends the money holds his un- blushing front_as high as his own terrible rates of interest. Yet that this always happens is proved by the fact thatit was just ten months after the facts had been published; that one vic- tim of these leeches screwed up the upon the poor About a year ne et money on a cDattel mor vayde and started the ball rollin by seeking in the courts that legal redress whic might have been demanded at any time. In Octo- ber last a Post-DisraTca reporter was detailed to investigate the rates of char on . chattel mortgages. % coupie of weeks to the before anything was published. In that time he came across evidence that proved conclusively that the rate of interest charged varied all the way from 60 TO 290 PER CENT per annum. Cases were found in ail parts of the city. All classes had been at times piucned for money .to supply at least temporary wants. Ali of them had gune to these sharks, and all of them had been fieeced in a more or less outrageous manner. As an instance of the emorores canvass made by ) the Post-Dispa'ren, the following will suffice. Judge E. A. Noonan, who expressed himself very emphatically from the beneh in the case of Evans, yesterday received the following letter: St. Lovis, August 15, 1883. Judge Noonan: DEAR SikR—My attention was directed again to a case like my own,wherein everything I owned in the way of household. goods, was taken by Mr. tts, another furniture shark, whose place is on Eighth, between Olive and Pine streets. For the sum of ,§25 Mr. Betts took what had just cost me I had no money to paya lawyer. and could Only see him take all I had, and iI Was left without a bed or anything, and I suffered more than I ean describe. I went to Mr. Jobn L. Martin, who told me that he could arrest Mr. Betts, but for some reason he did not. Iam anxious to see what can be doue in my case,andas | have to work for a living for myself and child, will you be kind euough to teli me how I cay proceed to make Mr. Betts pay me for my things? I will come and lay my own ease before you, and I know it will be a case of swind- ling on the part of Mr, Betts. I veg pardon it | am trespassing upon you, but I was well pleased to see that there was a Judge who could see this wrong. Respectfully, ks. E. A. NELSON. On the 17th of last October a Pos?-DispaTcH reporter obtained information that the lady who signs this epistie could tell something about the Ways of these money lenders. He called upon her at No. 3203 Olive street, where she then resided. Contrary to the general rule and to the reporter’s expectation, Mrs. Nelson was willing that her namé should be used, ana SHE TOLD HER TALE fnaplain and straightforward manner. “Last oo said she, “I was in grent neea of money. I lad been sick for some time, and then my on! child Was taken suddenly and dangerously iil My attention was taken from my busimess. and, what with the falling offin my income and tie bilis for meal a'jaitendance combined,ready money becaine with me an absolute necessity. | heard of a person and determined to apply to him for a loan of $25. He visited the roomson Washington avenue where I was keeping a dressmaking establish- ment atthe time, and after looking around, he came to the conclusion that he would advance the sum I required. thada handsome French plate lass mirror there which cost me $50, and which offered to place as security for the debt. He would not hear of this, however, but stated that he wanted al] the furniture in the room to be included in the mortgage. This furniture had cost me, a short time before,a littl> over $250. Three ofthe articles alone—a Brussels carpet which I had purchased six months before for $80, the mirror, which cust and was still worth $50, and a stove purchased new, one month previous for $30, Were ample security for the ioan, but my representations in that direction were of no avail, and each article ef furniture in the place was in- eluded in this man’s inventory, I asked him his terms, and he stated they were 10 per ceit a month. I knew that this was a ruinous rate, but what could [de? My cnild was-sick and had to be sup- plied with medivine. Il accepted lis terms as he stated them and got the 3$25. When [ went down to his place to make the first payment of interest, the note which ne handed me to sign was for $37 75, instead of $25, as I had ex- cted. l was thunderstruck said: ‘How is is? Thave only received eds. There you give me a note for half as much agatn.’ The man’s answer was that he to charge that for the mortgage. He explained to me that the mortgage cost him $5, recording it $5, first month’s interest on the debt $2 50, and some other matters which I cannot now recall. Iltold himthathisexplanations were thoroughly unsatisfactory, that his dealings were unjust, aud that as Il had borrowed and received from him only $25, 1 would sigu a note for that amount only. An older man in the place, who heard our discussion said,” We can show you right é k containing the names of from to one hundred of our custom- whom have borrowed money, and who have been glad to get it on the terms we offer to you. I looked on the book and founa it wis just as he had stated. -I knew I was dving a most unwise thing, but lL had to have the money, 1 remarked, ‘If I must pay this money, I suppose 1 must,’ and s0 1 signed the note, Next time, when I came to pay the monthly in- terest, | found it was $3 75 instead of @2 50. He was charging me with the full amount of the note instead of the $25, which I had originally borrowed, I HAD TO STAND IT. I could not help it. IL paid that in- t six months, in all, §22 50. t $25 for six mwuntis. I still owed the man $37 50. At the end of that Lime my little boy sick again. He was at death's door for weeks at a time. There were very few moments that he Wae out of my arms, }reporter, not without evident reluctance that she was the owner e. She, ers visited, was the client of D. H. Evans. The lady tn question, whose piano had been taken away some mouths before, was not very amiable in her remarks on the topic. The lady explained chat during a “temporary financial distress” she had borrowed $100 and given her Weber piano as security. It cost her two years previous. Sickness caine upon her, and the interest on the $100 not being forthcoming, the instrument was sacrificed. A second-hand furniture dealer car- ried itaway and she never saw it again. “I heard,” she added, “that it sold for $250 at auc tion,” which, if true, must have given the Shylock the splendid margin of §170 on the transaction. A few doors {from the Swedish iron worker’s house, on Tenth street, the reporter found a la- boring man, who had been forced to borrow money from the younger Mr. Betts. He got $25 and signed a note for $31 90. Upon this interest was being paid at the rate of 72 PER CENT PER ANNUM. This is at least nme times what any bank would charge for a loan similarly secured. In bis Visits, after the first of the articles were pub lished, the reporter found that fear that the lena- ers might discover that their victims had sup- lied the PosT-DIsPATCH with information, and gratitude to the paper. for its work of showing up the _ evils per- petrated by the sharks .were the ruling pas- sions Of the borrowers. They stopped in their tales of domestic penury, aggravated by out- rageous usury, to aug joyously = as they pictured the dismay which publica- tion must bring to. their tormenters. One poor woman was positively merry over the matter. She clapped her hands loudl and laughed, and then brought forth an album in which she had pasted the article carefully. Then she suddenly turned serious as she remarked: “Oh, if the old feliow could put his eyes on this. Eh, wouldn’t he sell me out next month too quiek. How soon I would have the second hand man’s cart backed up at my door.’’ Tne thought was too terrible, She took the album from the table where it had been lying, and hid it carefully away eng no prylug eye could discover its awful cun- nts. was visited where a mechanic lived with his wife and children. “Yes,” said the lady, “we have a nice little home here. Our children are all healthy and we are all happy. This terrible mortgage and the monthly payments we have to make are our only cause of anxiety. My husband got out of work for a long time, and we had to borrow some money. We went toa man whom we were told advanced loans on furniture. He caiied, and let us have about $50 on all these things.” “But [see your liability Is nearly $15 more than this sum’” “Yes. There were charges and commissions and interest in advance and all that kind of thing. We begged hard, but the old fellow was indiffer- ent and did not seem to care whether we took the money or not.” ats that is their game of biuff,” said the re- rter. ‘Well, he fooled us. If this mortgage runs on for a year we will have paid more than $75 for the use ol this $50.” “Yes, and you will still owe the fellow the 66?” “Oh, it’s terrible. I guess we will be sold out. I do not Know what is to become of us.” A maiden lady on Scott avenue, told HOW SHE BORROWED at 10 per cent. a month, and signed a note for that amount, but that the man kept out $8 for expen- ses. She thought she would never be able to pay the prinetees aud expected to be sold out soon, The ome Of a mechanic containing tWo rooms, very poorly furnished, was among the places called at. The place was poorly furnished, and a baby crawled on the floor; while the wife was up to her armpits in soapsuds. “My man was sick for six weeks,” she said. “We had a Miittie sum) laid by, but what with rent, doc- tors’. bills, groceries, et¢., it soon went. Work got slack wheh he got back to the shop, and money we must have. We borrowed $25. There were so many things to be taken off the amount first mentioned that it began to look as if we would have nothing to get but the mortgage. I remember I cried, and beaged my husband to come home, and we’d try to live some how; that be knew we had to have the money. So he signed a note for $37 and came back with $23 We are new paying 10 PER CENT PERK MONTH.” ' “But tell me, is it true that these men will sell gr ee right away?” It is, Weil, we've managed to pay the interest for six months, and I hope God will assist us in keep- ing our poor little home together.” At an aristocratic mansion on Pine street the lady admitted that she had a bigchattel mortgage, but was afraid of the publication. Last October the Post-DiseATCH published the following sample of the chattel mortgage meu’s business. From the fashionable portion of Pins street to THAT GRIMY SECTION OF MORGAN STREET which is occupied by coiored residents and very poor whites is a long siep, but the chattel imort- gage Was found to as much at home in. one lace as the other, Strange to say, the reporter ad no sooner done with the financial disasters of the refined and highly educated lady who rented elegantly furnished rooms in the West End than his trail led him to a consideration of the troubles of a broken down and miserable old evlored woman in the same line of business, though, of course, On a very moderate seale. Just a little nerth of Thirteenth street the old lady wag dis- covered, and it took but very little questioning to evolve the fact that not only was she suffering from an attack of chattel mortgage ov the furni- ture, but also that she had it very bad, and that unless 4 miracle happened, a coliapse of house- keeping was the inevitabie and not far distant re- sult. “Last January,” she began, “I had a ‘tack of malaria that kKep’ me in bed fo’ three months, Business fell off, an’ Lhad to borry. I went to my grocer on de corner, but he lowed he couldn't do Nothin’ for me af’ advised me to go to this here man.” As she said this she hanaed the re- Porter a card. one side of which read as follows; BROLASKI & VOORHIS, WG Dat 603 PINE STREET. The interest on a loun must be PAID PROMPT- LY on the day it is due, without notice. Any attempt to sell, dispose of or remove mort- gaged furniture without the consent of the holder of the mortgage is a criminal offense, besiaes sub- jecting the mortgage to foreclosure and additional expense. We are always ready to assist our clients as far practicable, if applications are made to us. I went to Mr. Brolaski,”’ she added, ‘and he 288 Ata fashionably furnished house on Pine street the presiding genius of the household, a lady, who 1s the widow of a lawyer, acknowled to ihe A neat and clcan little house on St. Louis avenue do, but I do know how our tat line. is transacted. Nobody can truthfully gay that we ever char them more than they agreed understandingly to pay for the dation granted, while many have when lower rates could be commanded. Neither can anybody say we ever al gts them to make a mortgage. Hundreas can, if they will, testify to the fact that we refused to make them mortgages, and gave them advice how to get along without. Money has always been acommodity and always will be, and as such is affected by supply and de- mand, and in like proportion between retail and wholesale of any commodity, so do the smaller sums of money command a higher rate, A Dar- gain is considered a bargain, and persons are held to their ordinary contracts. Can any sane pease be denied the right to agree what they will pay for the use of a horse, a house, a t.a sum of money or anything else, and after the use of such through a period of time you have paid the owner more than the value thereof, do you expect him to ive you the article used? Whenaman makes 4 ad bargain his friends laugh at him. If he borrows money he becomes a “vic- tim.” The law of this state as wisely framed to give persons a means of realiz- pan eee their personal effects upon short notice, and provides its penalties. Without such a law, many persons would have been turned into the streets by the rapacity of t..eir landlords, been retused supplies by their butcher, baker and grocer, and [n sickness been denied medicine and attendance, and the only person who does assist them in such a time is held up to scorn; and why? Because he is a pubile benefactor. Our experi- ence has been that « mortgage is oftencr a _ biess- ing than otherwise. If those who have thanked us for our considerate treatment of them should be enumerated, they would outnumper the sbift- less grumblers twenty to one. We have never made a mortgage for a man without his wife’s consent, or to a wife without her husband’s con- sent. We refuse loans for a long time and accept installments as may be tendered. Not being cap- italists, we loan for others and aim to get the low- est rate we can for those who borrow through us. If any capitalist or benevolently inclined persons will Joan money on Chattel morteages at less than we can we will gladly assistthem with our ex- verience. Men do not transact business for fun. tis to make money, and the general desire is to inake as much money as the necessities of tne case will permit, so that every business mah be comes a “money shark.” That there are hard- ships for some borrowers cannot be denied, for which sickness, drink, laziness or extravagance is tle cause, If some of those who are 80 keen to throw dirt at the money-lender will use their wits to devise some better plan of relief for the bor- rower, they will merit greater respect from the public. e have frequent calls tor assistance which we are unable to grant, and if any of our wealthy citizens will leave their address at our office and agree te assist such as seem worthy, we will heartily join in their efforts.

The Talking Policeman Resents an Insult Oftered to His Native Land. “Fopi, they tells me that here lately ye’re get- tin’ to be arale ould out-an’-out dood,” said Off- cer Magoogin, with a gleam of fun in hig eves, and his freckled hand dipped deep down in the Italian’s peanut tray. “It’s whisbpered upon the bullyvard an’ about the Wist Ind that, since the Soonday law wint into effect, ye’re celebratin’ the holiday be wearin’ Sary Burnhart pants, buttonin’ high an’ a glove fit; that ye have taken to shoes with p’inted toes loike a picket fince, an’ yer coat is cut up Close enough to yer nick to show off the siiver buckle on the back av yer breeches, fwholie ye have alasht cintury ploog hat that ye hang an yer left ear, as ye go thraipsin’ down the shtreet lukin’ fur all the wurruld loike the rare division av a _ procession of paynit marchants an Christopher Columbus’ perthday.

Magoogin gave a iieart laugh, and there was no more said about the matter. “Do ye know, Fopi,” said the officer, assuming an alarming look of seriousness; ‘Do ye know that aff I was as mane aman as you are I kud bave sot rolght down this mawrnin’ an’ in a few minits airneda hundherd thousand dollars!

After considering the plans of Thomas Walsh for upwards of three weeks, and vainly endeavor- ing to induce that gentleman to sign the terms of the contract. the directors of the Music Hall and Exposition Association, after a protracted ses- sion last night, made public the statement that necotiations with Mr. Walsh were atanend. A Pos?-DisPATCH reporter met Mr. Samuel Ken- uard this morning and asked: “Are the Walsh plans out of the question now?” “Yes, we are through with them, and sha!! pro- ceed to consider others that are before us.”’ “When do the directors meet again?” “We meet at 11 o’olock this morning and shall continue in session unti] December 1if we don’t work faster than we have so far.” A reporter ¢alled upon Mr, Walsh this morning and had an extended talk with him, in which the history of his failure to accept the contract came out. MR. WALSH. offered to puild an exposition buliding for $400,- 000, in accordance with his own plans and specifi- cations. ‘Lhe plans and specifications have since been altered and the cost increased by additions recommended by Shaler Smith, aud Joseph Givens the builder, and by the directors. These changes would cust about twenty-five thousand dollars mofe. Mr. Walsh offered. to give bond in the sum of $50,000 that the building could be carried out for the sum named by him. but the proposed changes inereased the cost, and all Mr. Walsh asked was that the additional cust be added. Mr. Walsh firmly believes thatthe cost of we building with the addition will not exceed $400,000, but wants a margin to secure his bondsmen against losses by contractors’ faiitures, by strikes of mechanics, or by cyclones or other acts of Providence. He, therelore, under these circumstances, caunot ask his securities to sign a _ bond without a (margin for their protection. The contract offered, is a very binding one, and altogether without precedent, as it gives the full power to the directors to make all contracts, to reject or receive all material, with the approval of the architect. ‘He is to be held responsibie for ail excess Of cost and to receive no credit for money that he might saye or is chargeable for. In the face of all this Mr, Walsh stands ready to enter into and sign it under the con- ditions al ove s.ated, tivat is foria $425,000 Duil. big. He stated fartier that tue plan before the Board can be modified by substituting ove article for another, aud by some slight changes, not impatr- ing the sirength of the building or affecting its architectural features, aud the cost reduced to nearly §400,000, “A PROBABLE PLAN. The directorg after extended consultation se- lected from the twenty-six local plans before them, those sumitted by Thomas Walsh,C. k, Ramsey, George ©. Barnet, Isaac Taylor, J. B. Li ge, Yungenigidt and Jansen. . li is given out in a semi-official mannér that the plans of C. K. Ramsey have been second choice allalong. The’ building as designed by bim can be put up for censiderably less than $400,000 So strong is the probability of its final adeption, that a description of it, as furnished the directors ina private pamphibt sigued ‘“Paraboia,” is not inap- propriate, and will at least prove readable: THE UILDING, AS DESIGNED will have an extreme depth of 468 feet, by 323 feet wide at the cenjer, to the outside of the entrances vn Thirteenth and Fourteenth streets, and 304 feet on the Olive street freut, The main froyt will be on Olive street, the eleva- tiou of whieh is entirely original in design, in the classical style, into whieh are introduced some feutures of the flueen Anne. The lower portion forming the base wiil be of rough-faced stone, as will also be the cause with the first story of the cen- tral division, containing the grand,entrance. The caps of the arches and trimmings will be of terra cotta. With these exceptions 4)l the remainder of the exterior will be of brick, with terra cotta mage on As seen from the exterior, the build- ing will be divided into three parts. the central division comtaining the main ehtrance fall, with conservatory over it, and the great music hall; ot Aaa side divisions will contain the exhipition alls. On entering the building ticket offices will be found on éach side of the entrance. From the vestibule the visitor will enter a fine bali on the ground floor, from which he can pass directly to the lower exhibition halls, and by side entrances to the lower seats in the auditorium of the great music hall. On each side of the grand entrance hail will be seen an opening twenty-six fleet in width, containing stairways composed ot broad, easy steps, twelve feet wide, leading te the nrst or inain floor of the building, On arriving at the head of the stairway the great hall will forma very striking feature, having on the Olive street front the maguificent conservatory, with its glass rovof, contaunng reck work, flowers, fountains, ete., and on the other hand the main entrances, three jn number, to the great music hall. THE FLOOR OF THE CONSERVATORY will be rendered moreuanly impervious to water, by being constructed of brick urches, on which will be placed a thick layer of asphaitum and a tile floor. At the southwest corner of this floor will be found the general offices and directors’ rou, Which separate staircase and private en- tranes from Fourteenth street. The great music hall will oceupy the center of this floor, with the main exhibition halls on either side of it. By this arrangement the music hall will be entirely re- movea from the annoyance and interruption of street noises. The smali hall will be placed in the rear on the St. Charles street side of the build- ing. THE SEATS in the music hall will be arranged In such a man- ‘rner asto bring them ail below the level of the main fluer, thus affurding unequaled facilities for extending that floor over the whole surface of the hall, without the nepeaaity of disturbing the seats, By this method it will cost. less to lay the extra floor than to remove and replace the chairs, when the consequent deterierativun is taken into ac- count. Auple provision is made for means of exit from the hall, so that anything like a dangerots resuit from a panic among the audience is reudered im- ossible. ln consaquence of the considerable rise n the seats towards the rear of tie hall, the architect has been enabled to extend the few last tiers into a gallery ruuning for some distance along the sidesofthe hall on the leveiof the main floor of the building, from which eight spaces of nine feet wide, are available as places of exit on each side. From the lower portion of the main augitorium there are four on each side, also nine feet wide, From the upper gallery there are-five on each side of similar width, and three doors in the rear wall, while inthe rear of the hall, on the main floor, there are three doorways reper, each ten feet in width, making alto- gether forty separate spaces or doorways whieh can be used as exits frum the hall in case of neces- are all admirable and have their supporters in the directory, and are either of them liabie to get the contract. The directors met at 11 o’clock this morning, and will continue in session this alter- noon. itis not believed that much time will be consumed in coming toa conclusion, The direct- ors are not altogether committed to the plan of letting the contracts themseivés. It would be dif- ficult to get an architect to accept the contract on the same conditions that were thrown about the Walsh contract. AT NOON TO-DAY the alrectors of the Exposition Association opened the eighteen or twenty bids submitted to make the excavations for the buildings at Missouri Park. The contractors lingered about for awhile until informed that the bids had all been referred to a sub-committee for examination, and report at a meeting to be neld to-inorrow at noon, A DEAD’NER. So the Prosecution Says of the New Point Discovered. ssonnepadilibiiimsscnatiin The Conditions Granting the Saloon Men the Privileges of the Act of 1857 Never Com- plied with—Disposition of To»Day's Cases. A new point which will paralyze the defense set up by the saloon-keepers, if substantiated, has just been discovered by Prosecuting Attorney Claiborne, and will probably bring the defense to a sudden stand still. The jrepresentatives of the State are jubilant over the discovery and say that it leaves the suloon men without a leg to stand on, The line of defense so far has been that the sa- loon-keepers were justifiedin keeping open for the sale of refreshments, not distilled, by the law of 1857. It was claimed ft the defense that that law authorized the citizens of the cities of St. Louis County to test the senti- menyt on this question by election and that this was done aud the majority found to be in favor of availing themselves of the privilege granted Dy the statutes. The point now made is that the conditions necessary to makethe law of ’57 re- sulting and operative were never fulfilled,and that the only law now on the beoks aud applicaole to this city on the question is the Downing lawand its Sunday nth Judge Noonan will have this point submitted to him by the prose- cution, as acomplete answer to the defense set up, When Col, Claiborne was asked to-day what importance he attached to the point, be said: “It's a dead’ner, sir, and eompletely knocks the defense out. [ have been studying this law closely, Here ts the first section of the law anprovea March 4, 1857; “Be it enacted, That the corporate authorities of the diffeient cities in the county of St. Louis shall have the power, whenever a majority of the ‘egal voters of the respective cities in safd county authorize them so to do, to grant permission for ihe opening of any establishment or establish- ments within the corporate limits of said cities for the sale of refreshments of any kind (distilled liquors excepted), on any day of the week.” Now I find that the majority of the voters tn this cily never did authorize the corporate author- ities to ap permission for the “onening of any establishment or establishments within the corpo- rate limits of said city for the sale of refresh. ments of any kind (distilled liquors excepted) on any day of the week.” It is true that at the elec- tion held on this question the ned ag | of the votes cast on the question were in faver of authorizing the autnorities to do se, but that mal jority did not constitute the majority oi the lega- voters at that election. The vote jo favor of open- ing these establishments on any day was 5,051, while the total vote cast was 16,000, I think. Iam going to get a certified copy of the returns, how- ever, and settle the matter definitely, ag it kills the defense set up,” ‘Have you any legal opinions on this majority uestion?”’ . “Yes. the courts have already ruled on that question in other cases.” As far as the other point raised by the defense, that is already dis- osed of in a Case taken to the Court of Ap s b Mr. L. A. Steber. That tribunal decided that Mr. Huason had the rigit to issue the Keense, and as no new grounds are advanced this opinion will likely stand if presented to that tribunal again. At the office of the CITY REGISTER a Post-DIsPATCH reporter obtained a copy of the Reyister’s statement of the election of Angust 3, 1857. at which this question was subinitted. It is as follows: Citv of St. Louis, State of Missouri. Election heid August 3, 1857. Be it remembered, that at the hour of 4 0’clock in the afternoon of Tuesday. April 6, 1858. being the day following that of an election held in the eity of St. Louis for Mayor, Comptroller, Auditor, Treasurer, Register, Harbor Master, City Attor- ney, and for one Alderman and two Delegates in each ward, and also in the Seveuth Ward for one Alderman to fill the vaecancyin the Board of Aldermen occasioned by the resignation of KE, M. and also to test the sense of @ legal Vv the opening of St. Louis for the sal CHILDREN’S SUITS, $4.50, Of Neat Style, All-Wool Cassimere, medium weight, just suited to early Fall wear; and in every department medium weight goods that we are closing out much below value.

A fine specimen of the American eagle, caught on one of the islands opposite Santa Barbara some time ago, has been kept tied up in the yard of Birabent’s Hotel for some time, awaiting a purchaser. ‘This noble bird was sold Friday, and was temporarily placed inthe yard of a .game fowl fancier, who suiled significantly when warned ,that the eagle might hurt his fowls. The grim-look- ing bird had not beep in the yard long before the game cocks began to crow and strut up and downin front of the strange visitor. lhe eagle sat quietly in the center of the yard, apparently unconscious of the presence of the noisy game-cocks, until sud- denly one of them tlew at him and struck him upon one of his wings. He looked down upon the little chanti- cleer, with a curious, inquisitive glance, as much as to inquire what was the mat- ter? ‘hen another brave game-fowl struck him in the breast, while number one hit him on the neck. The noble bird now opened his wings with a lazy, leisurely swing, erected his chest feathers, and his eyes seem to blaze like coals of fire. The American eagle was becoming interested in the business and rather angry. Again one of the gulden|pheasant fowls dashed reckless- ly at the eagle, grasping a bunch of feathers in its attack. Before it could recover from its charge, the eagle had extended one of its talons and seized the game-cock by its neck, aud by a dexterous swing laid it fluttering and quivering beneath its left foot. The second game fowl now charged upon the huge stranger, whose wings were now half opened and lazily rising and falling. As the gaine-cock struck it was met with a blow from the eagle’s wing, and as ‘it fell was caught in the open taluns of the captive foe, and Jaid struggling and dying upon the ground. The victor did not appear to be the least excited, and after thus disposing of its troublesome adversaries, lazily stepped to one side and seemed to relapse intoa state of meditative reflection, every once in a while looking down indifferently upon the bloody trophies of its power lying dead at its feet. These eagles from the islands are mag- hiticent specimens of the American national bird, are gentle when unprovoked, are patient under restraint and easily domes- ticated. AN AQUATIC MARVEL Mr. Fort’s Remarkable Stroll Across the Delaware River. From the Philadeiphia Record. At 5 o’clock yesterday afternoon the Dela- ware River front between Chestnut and Wal- nu: streets fairly swarmed with humanity. The cause of the unwonted excitement was the announcement in the morning papers that Mr. F. C. Fort, of this c.ty, was to attempt to walk across the river to Ridgway Park. At half-past five o’clock the hero of the hour made his appearance on the scene, and was greeted with round after round Of applause. He was an elderly man, tall, and weliemade, and had sandy chin whiskers. His costume was a marvel of brilliancy. Oh his head he wore a rakish, broad-rinimed hat of gray felt, turned up at one side ard fastened with a huge glass emerald and nodding plume of scariet feathers. His jacket, which was three sizes tov sinall, was of crimson velvet, slashed with orange silk, and his trousers, which were of Zouave pattern, were of crim- son plush. White cotton hose incased his well-turned limbs, and his shoes were such as ordinary mortals wear. Forcing his way through tle crowd, Mr. Ford decended to the water and stepped into two small skiffs of a peculiar pattern, which were to serve him as shoes in his watery walk. They were about six feet long. eighteen inches wide, and appar- water, about six inches showing above. From the center of each" an upright handle reaching up about a yard afforded op ore and they were utilized to work a pair of vars, one of which struck out bebind each “shoe.” On the “decks’’ were a supply of boat-hooks and a small hatchet, the use of which did not appear. The start was made at 5:35 o’clock, and Mr. Fort struck out bravely for the island, but the sculling arrangement in- stantly refused to work, and notwithstanding his frantic efforts to make headway, the vent- urousvuyager proceeded to drift rapidlyup the river on the bosom of the tide, suepaeer™ by the row-boats, and showered with sarcastic comments from the smaller boys along the docks. For over an hour he battled valliantly with the treacherous waves, at which time he was at least halfa mile to the north ward ofthe island. ‘Ihe tifle then turned, and gradually carried him back again, and at ten minutes before seven fe went ashore on the north side of the Park, where he was instaptly surrounded by an admiring crowd, and two burly young wen carried him on their shoul- ders to thejbar-room. He returned to the city in a row-boat. Flies and Bugs. Flies, roaches, ants, bed-bugs, rats, mice, go- hers, chipmunks, cleared out by ‘Rough on als.”’ 15¢. A Journalist on Gin, From the Ovid Register. Don C. Henderson, editor of the Allegan Journal, arrived in Ovid Saturday, and went into camp with the Union man. That even- ing he was driven around the village and the adjacent country by J. W. Fitzgeraid, and, being a disciple of the late Horace Greeley, was, of course, roused to enthusiasm by the agricultural scenes and implements through which ne passed. He spoke with regret, however, of the lack of fish-pole culture in the low lands along the maple, and strongly urged that forest trees, which are now mere- ly ornaments, be utilized for training turnip vines. ‘“Ihe turnip,"’ he said, “is something like an editor. It needs fresh air, and the higher it climbs the more it shows its cul- ture.” “Again,” he went on to say. “everybody knows the blessings mankind has derived from the cultivation of Yye, which, ob- serve, you do not raise the best variety of about here; and from this hint the energies of agriculture should be directed to the tur- nip, with the unbounded possibilities of the future opening like a vista before us.

I will only of Casamiceiola, for I rot cn hee’ — — the cour- age vis 0 principal place in Ischia, nor Locco Ameno, where the victims were quite numerous. Casamicciola is built in the form of an amphitheater, and a per- tion of the houses were built upon the es- carpments of the rock. These houses have naturally most. They have all t bled down. Those at the foot of the nill have stood the shock best of all, and many of the bathers lodged in this partof the town were able to escape. A hotel called the Hotel Sauve was not in the least injured. As you see, it was well named. At the moment the shock was felt allthe bathers were in- doors. The evening was cool. They wate in the parlors of the hotels singing, playing and chatting, when suddenly the ceilings came down and the people were thrown into the very foundations of the houses. How shall I describe the spectacle that presented itself to my eyes when | entered he town? Imagine enormous piles of mas- onry forming barricades in the street, walis Still standing, beams pointing skyward broken furniture,yawning abysses, confu and entangled masses of planks and beams; and all this throughout an immense extent of streets and piled up almost perpendicularly. On approaching the ruins eries for help and piercing shrieks could be distinctly heard. All through the night those poor people called for help, with nobody to help them. Their calls were answered only by calls. The greatest difficulty was experie in the work of getting out the wounded. The houses from which the cries were most dis- tinetly heard were first taken in hand. ‘he soldiers were admirable in the display of courage and self-sacrifice; but unfortunately it would have required 10,000 men accustomed to such . work to meet the difficulty. You have probably seen a work af rescue undertaken in a town ° where nothing is wanting to save some unfortunate workinan buried under a scaffolding or a pile of ruins, You koow what a length of time and how much trouble and precaution must be taken to save the man without endanger- ing the lives of those who endeavor to get him out. Then fancy the same scene in a town completely ruined, where everything is wanting, while a scorching sun renders the task doubly difficult, and the men must work, listening on one side to the cries of the wounded men and on the other to the shrieks of women, imploring help, wringing their hands in despair and tearing their hair. When j have pietured such a spectacle you will have some idea of what I witnessed | during the two days that I remained at Ischia. On Sunday evening it began to rain, and this added tothe difficulty of the situation. W hen one has witnessed the scene that Casa- micciola presented on that evening in the red light of the fires that were started to al- low the jaded soldiers to dry themselves and todrive away the miasma, no battle- field and no bombarded town can have any surprise for him. It would be impossible t describe all the horrors that I have witnessed. Several soldiers were crushed by the falling of walls during the work of rescue. To render the catastrophe still more horri- ble the bodies in the ruins began to decom- pose. The Minister of ublic Works, who was on the spot, ordered that immense graves be dug, into which the bodies were thrown after having been covered with quicklime. But there are bodies in the ruins that cannot be reached. Happily, a steam- boat witha oargoof ‘phenic acid arrived. This acid was taken from Rome, Naples, and nearly ail the cities. It was distributed among the soldiers, who threw it into the ru- ins. Itis probable that, notwithstanding the prayers of those who say that they can still hear cries in the ruins, this immense charnel house will be covered up. Nothi else can be done. To clear away the ruins impossible. ARTHUR PACELE, 7702 County Road, St. Louis, Mo., says Brown’s Iron Bitters ia the best tonic medicine he ever used.

CARTHAGE, Mo., August 15.—A number of cap- italists from Wichita, Kan., have conferred with the Board of Trade regarding the building of street railways here. The project received favor- able recognition and will doubtless be recom- mended to the City Council at its next session. The rapid growth of the city and the great dis- tance of residences from the business portion of the town warrants the belief of the necessity for such an enterprise, and also insures full remuner- ation for all outlay. The only objection urged is that the streets are too narrow and the building of lines would detract from the pleasure of buggy riding. The vros and cons will be heard betore the matter is settled.—— Bulletin boards haye been erected for the henefit of shows and the opera house managers.

OBTAIN rooms through the want columns of the Post-DISPATCH, twentywords [or ten cents, WEST ST. LOUIS BOULEVARDS. Taylor Avenue to be Improved--More Street VUpeniags and Car Facilities. A Post-DIsPATCH reporter this morning met. Mr. A. L. Ryland, an old-time hewspaper man and a resident of Cote Briiliante. Mr. Kyland is a strong advocate for the creation of an east and west botlevard in the west end of town,and to the reporter expressed himself as follows: Beautiful St. Louis possesses fenough varaie- gated territory tor many “boolvarda’’ ou hill, if dale, on sloping brow of airy, elevated plagseau. This belug so, itis. singular thar all proposals as tv such oruamental avenues a:c6 only as to “sonth- ern routes” to Forest Park, ora North and South drive on Grand avenue. Itis amazing that thereis potalk of an east and west boulevird north of Olive street, nor one west of Grand avenue. In former years it has often been shown by the press that Grand avenueis too far east for a grand drive or boulevard, and that it has been destroyed for that purpose by railroad tracks and other causes. Taylor avenue was frequently referred to as possessing in an eminent Ineasure every requisite loranorth and south drive, connecting directly as it will the cemeteries and thé parks, while Grand avenue does pot. The location of Taylor avenue, aléng a beauti- fui plateau, makes it the most desirable of all that have been laid out west of Garrison avenue. Those interested in Taylor avenue will be pleased to learntbat there is a good prospect of it being raded and covered with hard rolled gravel, from taston avenue to Lindell boulevard, before next winter, in response to the petition of Messrs. Cupples, Rea, Pearce,| jusman, Bryan. Wolff, and others. In dry weather. it is even now one of the most beautiful walks and drives. Skirted by beautiful groves, vineyards, and cumfortable homesteads . on one of those plateaus for which West St. Lours is famed, it affords at every point 4 wonderfully fine view of the country east and west, with Grand avenue away below, fringed petween lines of dwellings, and numerous needle-like church spires bevond piercing the fogs or ciouts. No wonder that the City ag neon and others have frequently said that Taylor avenue is worthy of notice and cunsideration, in its midway location between Grand and Union. aveuues, its easy grades and other merits® It is open from Ashiand avenue in the north to Laclede avenue inthe south, adistance of two miles or’ more, ending, within two bloeks @f Ferest Park. It should be surveyed and opened further north, a hecessity which has been long acknowledged to exist. With the improvements contemplateu this ear, lines of busy teams will be seen @n route to ‘orest Park along Taylor avenue, reaching that elevated drive by Page, Bell, Finney, Fairfax, Washington, Olive, McPherson, etc., and then it can be said, **‘West St. Louis has a poulevard.” It may be said also that the people of North St. Louis have been greatly neglected in the matter of access to the parks and Shaw’s Garden. As North Market street, however, is now extended and nearly all open trom the river to Papin (now Marcus) avenue, a distance of four miles, and sev- eral north and south streets are about to be opened to these fine attractions, there will probably be offered to these people, before long, additional car facilities from Broadway, or vicinity, and such things be done as will procure a development of the magnificent but long neglected 4d n, west of Grand and north of Olive street and Easion av- enue, IN CAMP. The First Service At Marvin Grounds Addi- tions to the Tenters. The Marvin Camp Meeting opened auspiciously yesterday. The whole day was sccupied in prep- arations, such as raising tents, arranging comfort- able quarters and putting everything in apple-pie order for the week’s sojourn in the wiels. the first service was held last night at whieh Presid- ing Eider Wilson prea the sermon, and re- marks were made by Dr. fudor, Dr. Lewis and others. To the list of tents published: yesterday should be added, W. Burgoyne, -M. West- lake, H. C. Yaeger, Mr. Matthews, Mrs. Smith and others. The tents are comfortably filled with the families and frineds of the -ladies and gentlemen holding’ them, Aithough Mr. Samuel Cupples is absent in Europe, the Cupples tentis nevertheless, up and at the dis- posal of his friends. The attendance aft the first service was gratifyingly large, and au exception- ally pleasant and profitable week of religious re- vival is expected.

Although a good year and a half must elapse before the local campaign is fairly on, politicians are busy feeling the public pulse, and setting up the pins for the Mayoral succession.. At the hotels, around the public buildings, at the public resorts, one hears more or tess about the prospect- ive candidates. Itis the custom of the Dem- ocratic party to make an open scramble for office, as distinguishea from the quiet machine work of the Republican party. Of the De- ocrats, whose names are daily mentioned is Alex De Menil. Mr. De Menil comes from an old and respected family. He has served in the House of Delegates, and was a conscientious member of the Council. Heisa lawyer by pro- fession, but oecasioualiy appears before the pub- licasan author of humorous paragraphs and comic poetry. He was identified with the late Hornet as a valued and voluminous contributor. W. H. Stone,they mostly always call him “Bill,” is also credited with aspirations to fillthe execu- tive chair. Mr. Stone is the wealthy proprietor of extensive bolt and nut works at Second and Biddle streets. He served one terin in Congress from the old Third District, and was a useful and popular member. He has always taken a keen juterest in the affairs of his party. He was hauled trom his retiracy last spring to go into the Coun- cil, and has been conspicuous ever since asthe leader of the Solid Seven. Samuel Kennard, wie showed such remarkablé executive ability in foreing the Exposition Association to success, has been mentioned ever since by the business community as a suit- able man for Mayor. (tis doubtful whether Mr. Kennard could be induced to accept the position, but if he did, he would have the snpport of the entire business community. David Caruth. the Poiice Commissioner, and well-tonwn as the head of a great hardware house, is understood to be in the race; in fact he has been out some for time. The political gossips credit him with the support of the’ Gov- ernor, or at least the Police Board, which is the same taing. Mr. Caruth is a nan of great popularity among all classes, andis highly esteemed by his business associates. Heisa bachelor. Rk. M. Parks, an old Democrat, prominent in the councils of his party for twenty-five years, and who came near defeating Overstoiz for renomina- tion two years ago, is againin the field, and is really a dangerous candidate. There is a behef that had Mr. Parks been nominated instead of Overstoiz that the Mayor’s office would not Pave been lost to the Democratic party. There 1s the usual scarcityfot ayowed candidates in the Repubiican party. Mayor Ewing will posi- tively not be a candidate for re-election, as he 1s impatiently awaiting the expiration of his term of office, that he may go to Indiana and take posses- sion of his lordly estate of a thousand acres. Prominently mentioned, however, for the seat is Congressman Dr. J. H. McLean, who showed the stuff he is madeof in his race against Broadhead two years ago. The Doctor’s nomination would insure a lively canvass. He probably would have the strongest personal following of any candi- date mentioned in the party. Councilman E. 5. Rowse is spoken of. He woula bring to the office an extended experience in muovicipal affairs. Joseph G,-Marriott, who ts, strictly speaking, not a Republican, having — been elected to the House of Delegates as an Independent, is Known to yearn for the cushioned chair in the northeast cerner of the City Halil. Joseph W. Branch is mentioned in busiuess circles, aud there are many who would like to see ex-Mayor Nathan Cole fill the place once more. There will be a lively fight next time over the position of City Collector. At present Joe McHose is the only horse on the track, and he is merely exercising. Benefit of the Woman’s Exchange.
