Smashing the Strongest Band of Burglars in New York. -_ — — How a “Lookout” was Identified—A De- tective’s Wily Plan—Clew to the Theat- rical Costumer’s Burglary — Curious Complications and the Thieves’ Tricks. By Telegraph to the Post-Dispatch. NEw YORK, August 23.—Inspector Byrnes and his detectives are greatly elated over the arrest ‘of five burglars yesterday, which completely breaks up one of the most skillful and desperate gangs in the city and which, fromsome of the ] plunder captured, is believed to be that which on Wednesday night broke into the store of Wolf Dazian, dealer IN THEATRICAL COSTUMES, of Union Square, and carried away property valued at $10,000. For some weeks past Detective Sergeants Wade, Maguire and Crowley have been looking for some thieves, who upon the night of Aucust 20, effected a burglary on the store of George T. Asler & Co., general commission mer- chants on the second floor of No. 7 Burling Siip. The thieves secreted themselves in the building, and after all the employes had left they began work. After they had forced the door off the safe they found $77 in money and the key of a larger safe which stood near by. Upon opening this they were rewarded by finding $1,300 worth of plateand jewelry and pistols of the bull dog fashion. The only clew tothe burg- lars was that one night watchman had noticed a man standing beneath a lamp-post near the build- ing, apparently READING A PAPER, but he noticed that he frequently cast his eyes in the direction of the building where the robbery was effected. About 10 o’clock Detectives Crow- ley, Wade and Maguire arrested Thomas — and James Clark as they were standing atthe orner of Chrystie and Hester streets, on suspicion of being implicated in the robpery. They were taken to police headquarters and imparted import- ant information. The detectives again started out and when thev returned they brought with them William Smith, alias Harmon, a_ brother of the well-known dutch Harmon, John Talbot, alias the *Halter,”* and Patrick Carroll, alias Harrison, whom they had arrested at No. 38 Forsyth street, sd na they had rooms with Martin Reeves, form- erly A NOTORIOUS THIEF, but who is now blind. The officers also brought with them a considerable amount of property, most of whieh had been stolen from the place in Bur- ling Slip. It was partially identified by the owners, notwithstanding that In all cases where the prop- erty had been marked the inscription had been removed. Inthe room occupied by Carroll and Talbot jointly, there was found a complete set of burglars’ tools, together with twenty bags in which to carry off plunder and a number of bags used to de: the sound of chiseling sales. Tiere were AlsoYound f | KELETON KEYS. three seomgnal jimmies, two sledge hammers, one vise, a gMurber of files, a number of iron wedges and a quantity of rope. As a proof that the gang was-one thoroughly ~or also found in this room a containing afull description of all ef the burglaf-proot safes in this city, and there were also a number of drawings of safes which were supposed to be of those which the thieves intended to break open. Another book contained a list of persons whose buildings and houses were counected witb the burglar-alarm system, and opposite some of the names was written the word “Easy”, in bine pencil, which is suppesed by the police to mean a connection which ecould be easiliy broken. Together with them there was also found in Carroll’s room a Russia-leather pocket- book containing twenty-five skeleton keys of the very best material aud manntacture, In fact everything pointed to thefact that the gang was A MOST EXPERIENCED ONE, béing thoroughly equipped for all Kinds of work. But what attaches a greater importance to the ar- rest are the clews which were found, which leads the police to believe that they robbed Dazian’s store. When the detectives were examining Mr, Dazian’s premises after the day of the robbery they found three new augurs which had been dropped on the floor ana evidently FORGOTTEN BY THE THIEVES. When the officers were examining Carroll’s room their attertion was attracted to three augur holes in the door of his room. It immediately flashed across their minds that these holes had been made by the augurs found in Dazian’s store for the purpose of experimenting with them before using them in any critical work. The augurs were produced and were found to fit exuctly in the holes in the door.Then,to render the theory all the more probavple, the detectives found several samples of silk which they suppose were cut from rolis of goods stolen from Mr. Dazian’s store. Mr. Dazian was notified, and when he ar- rived he was almost positive that the cloth was a part of what had been stolen from him. AMONG THE THINGS FOUND in the house were a pair of gold sieeve buttons, manufactured from $5 gold pieces, bearing the monogram “McS.” on the front of the stud, and the initials ‘J. A. MeS.” on the reverse sids; a gold pencil, the name on which had been engraved; a gold watch, the num- ber of which is 46,899; asecarf pin, the design of which is an owl’s head, with diamonds for eyes; a old chain; a cat’s eye scart pin and a gold locket. The night watchman who had noticed the man loitering 1n front of the building on Burling Slip on the night of the robbery there, was brought to police headquarters, and on being shown the thieves positively identified Kelly AS THE LOOK-OUT. Patrick Carroll, alias Harrison, who is supposed o be the chief of the gang, is one of the most skillfuland accomplished burglars in the country. He has served several terms in Sing Sing, one of four years, one of three years.and a halt und another of two years and a half. He was a prisoner at police headquarters about two weeks ago, charged with having committed a burglary, but the evigence was NOT STRONG ENOUGH against him and he was discharged after his pict- ure was taken. Smith,alias Harmon,is theouly one whom the police do not know, and he has never been in the State prison. Talbot is a professional burglar, and has been but a very short while out of State prison. He, too, was arrested about two days ago for a burglary but he proved an alibi and was discharged. They were brought to the Tombs yesterday afternoon but were remanded to police beadquarters. On the way back from court one of the officers remarkea } to Talbott that be was in a pretty place this time. “No not very tight,” he answered. “The old woman WILL SEE ME SAFE out of this hole. It was subsequently ascer- tained that the old woman referred to was Mme. Mendiebaum, a well-known receiver of stolen goods, aud itis believed she secured the goods stolen from Dazian. The prisoners will be ar- raigned in court this morning. GOULD’S SCOOP. How Governor Cornell Lost About $250,000 of Stock. By Telegraph to the Post-Dispatch. New YorK, August 23—Among the rumors that gained currency just after the recent slump in the stock market was one to the effect that ex- Goy. Oornell had been compelled to let go a large plock of Western Union, and had suffered a loss of about $250,000 in consequence, It was intimated . Cornell met yes ait Committee 0 ors. They gr dieurned had a tal the meeting adj te “ Gould a de chat tie aid 2 zed there waa ont. cnd-then went. on to say, he thought the | the telegraphers’ strike. The strike had threat- ened the company for three years past, ana it ought to be of advan to the company to have met and successfully disposed of the issue. He expressed the opinion that the company would profit by the changes that had been made in consequence of the strike, and wound up, itis said, by asserting that he considered his stock worth $20 more a share than before the strike. Some of those who were pres- ent, and who have, apparently, been inclined to believe that there was truth in the reports of the Governor’s losses, confessed that they were surprised at his utterances. They said that he has always been a firm believer in the Western Union, and they were convinced yesterday that he has no occasion to quarrel over his account with tne stock. NOT A MAN. Ne A Woman in Masculine Attire Tries the Haymaking Business. By Telegraph to the Post-Dispatch. READING, Pa., August 23.—Quite a sensation came to light near Steinsville, along the Blue Mountains, in Lehigh County, opposite the line from Berks, to-day. For some time a strange man, going by the name of Mark Smith, bas been traveling up and down the road, doing odd jobs of work. He was rathera fine looking, smooth- faced person, about 25 years of age, and tolerably well dressed. He worked the whole summer at haymaking and harvesting, and became very dark and stout, the hot sun having a severe effect on his skin. He enjoyed a good appetite and became very healthy dnd hearty. The mountain air agreed with him. He generally went alone and had very littie to do with the hands. A few davs ago Smith was taken sick and he was compelled to Keep to his bed, which was in the loft of a sum- mer kitchen of a farm house tnat is not used this year. Smith became worse, and finally a doctor from Lehigh County was sent for. ‘The doctor ex- amined the patient but refused to say what ailed him. Westerday the remarkable fact was maae knewn that the person was not a man : BUT A WOMAN, ang that an infant had been born in thé loft. The doctor, who had Kept the secret, pr ed an old nurse, and the woman folks of the farm, together with the neighbors, furnished the necessary clothing for mother and elild. Who the woman ts is not known. She will only say that she left her home unknown tw any one; that she dressed herself in disguise and cut her hair off so that she could travel without fear of detection. She appears to come from a good fam- lly, but was taken to the alms-house. ILLINOIS ITEMS. Affairs at Springfie!d—The Welter Murder Trial—Iwo suicides at Highlana. SPRINGFIELD, August 23.—Chas. W.

By Telegraph to the Post-Dispatch. PorT JERVIS, N. Y., August 23.—Isaac Brown, a storekeeper, closed his place about 9 o’clock last night, and. turning out the lights, he took a lamp and started foraroom through which he had to pass to his rooms overhead. As soonas he entered the room the light was blown out, and a short, stoutly-built man seized him by the throat. He cried tor heip, and Mrs, Brown, who lives with her husband, came to his assistance. The intruder then beat Mr. and Mrs. Brown over the head with a hatchet, and they cried loudly for help. The neighbors heard the cries and went to the rescue, but the would-be murderer had fled.

H., August 23.—An in- vestigation will be begun here to-morrow into the death of Edmund Wood, whose body was found a few days ago in a gloom) ravine, The murdered man’s cap, riddled with shot, was picked up near the dilapidated cabin of Nathan Brown, an eighty- six-year-old hermit, who works a small farm and is believed to know something about the murder. Brown is said to bave had trouble with Wood, and. on the day of the murder, was seen acting queerly over the dead man’s cap as it lay in the road. He said he heard the report of a gun while he was gathering corn, but supposed it was firea by a hunter. Of bis quarrel with Wood, he says that it was over a bird-trap, while they were both intoxicated, but tells contradictory stories about his niovements. A “Bull” Trick. By Telegraph to the Pust-Dispatch. NEw YORK, August 23.—A report evidently in- tended to “bull” the wheat market was set afloat yesterday to the effect that the French Govern- ment had taken steps to secure the large im- portation of American wheat as a precaution against a possible wheat famime in consequence of the failing French crop. But the idea was ridl- culed by all to whom it was repeated. The con- tinental shipments from this port have been fair- ly active but not unusually large. That the French crop is a short one is universally admitted, The official circular of the Produce Exchange esti- mates that the, crop this year will be 75 to 90 per cent.of that of 1882, when it amounted to 122.000,- 000 hectolitres. The crop this year will be 47,000,- 000 pectolitres less. There is, however, a large surplus left over from last year, which wiil make up a part of the deficiency. This is indicated by the amount in store at Paris, August 1, namely: 250,000 quintals, as against 178,000 quintals on August 1, 1882. Postal Telegraph Company. By Telegraph to the Post-Dispatch. New YORK, August 23.—Vice-President Cum- mins, of the Postal Teiegraph Company, said yes- terday that there was no truth, as far as he knew, in the report that John W.

Curious Scandal in Brooklyn High Life. - How Colonel Depalos Addressed His Wife in a High Tenor Register—The Effect Poetry Has on a Hungry Man—How a Night-Key Brings Trouble. By Telegraph to the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, August 23.—The ladies of Brooklyn are agaiu excited over another scandal in high life. Col. James 8. Depalos, late of the federal army aud more recently known as the patentee of a machine for the capture of escaped gas, is the hero of the domestic drama. His wife, Mrs. Mary Isabella Depalos, is the heroine. The lady was formerly a Miss Moulton, and was reared at Ash- ton, Ohio. She wasa BEAUTIFUL GIRL, it is said, and full of romance and poetry. From chiidhood she was addicted to rhyme and when she first attracted the attention of the dashing Colonel, she wrote a poem about his beautiful whiskers, which completely won his military beart. Having obtained the consent of the young lady’s parents to their union, the Colonel and his prize went to Cincin- nati, where they were duly weded by the Kev. Dr. Purcell, D. D. The marriage did not check the poetic oyerflow of the lady’s mind, and she wrote some of her most delightful verses during the pe- riod of her honeymoon. The Colonei seemed proud of his wife’s POETIC GIFTS, but only foratime. When he wanted his break- fast in a hurry one morning be found _ his wife in the library up to her ears in ink and rhyme. “Do you ever intend to get my breakfast?” he asked. This was the first time he had addressed her in a_ high tenor regis- ter, and the poor lady wept. After her “little ery” she turned ber great blue eyes toward him and would have melted any other man than Col. Depalos of the Indiana Dragoons. “Please wait, James,” she pleaded, “‘I’il come just as soon as 1 can find a word to rhyme with miserable.” Then it was that Col. Depalos LOST HIS TEMPER, and having kicked his wile’s escritoire out of the window, he kicked himself down stairs and rushed off to a restaurant for the morning meal which be couidn’t get at home. From that time forth there was a coolness between the colonel and his wife. Nevertheless,they struggled through life somehow i ;or nine years and then moved to New York. The Colonel’s patent had been well received in several cities, and as he needed a larger fieid for his operations, he chose New York. Taking an office in Union Square in this city, he moved his family te Brooklyn, and he aud bis wife and six children became members of Dr. Talmage’s church. In public the Colonel’s treatment of his wife was deportment itself, but e her compiaint the lady says “he was the reg- ular OLD HARRY at home.” After a time the Colonel ceased to ac- company his family to church, and little by little he withdrew himself from his home. His lack of domestic interest began when he parenanes 5 night-key. He would remain away or several days at a time, and finally would only visit them to make arrangements for their su port. On one of these occasions he instructed his wife to teach the children not to call him father, and rarely left the house withont treating her to a round or two, according to the rules of the Marquis of Queensberry. Once he accused her of drinking “GIN TODDY,” and when she denied the charge he struck her under the chin, knocking her against a ‘“‘forget- me-noet’”’ and shattering several arti*les of bric-a- brac. At another time, Mrs. Depalos says, the Colonel paddled their eldest son all around the house for no other reason than to annoy her. SHE FURTHER CHARGES that during the eight months preceding last June, the only money received from her hus- band was $67 and that during all that time the Colonel was leading a life uf luxury in New York, dressing like a prince and escorting fashionable ladies to places of public amusement. Itis said that the Colonel was formerly in partnership with “an accomplished Brookiyn dude, who was sen- tenced to the Pennsylvania State prison for sev- eral years for pms | money under false pre- tenses. At the time of his arrest this person held a high social position in Brooklyn, and it was thought to be quite the thing to figure in his set. This person, it is also said, was a member of the Plymouth congregation, and was considered portsevian by the young ladies who attended his Sunday-school class. When proceedings were first instituted by Mrs. Depualos she says the Colo- nel came to her, acknowledged his faults, prom- ised to provide for her liberally and be good in the future. Since that time—two months ago— she has not seen him, and now Lawyer Benedict, in the interest of the lady, has rolled up his sleeves and gone to work in earnest. SPENCER'S TRIAL, The Absconding President May Return to Face theo Indictment. By Telegraph to the Post-Dispatch. CuHIcAGO, August 2.—A Crefeid, Germany, special cable says: “The examination of D. D. Spencer, the ex-presicent of the State Savings In- stitution, now residipg here, was concluded yes- terday before United States Consul Potter, and was conducted by Gen. George Smith and George Bass representing the trustees, Perkins Bass, J. C. Dore andothers, and Gen. E. B. Sherman re- presenting the receiver. Snencer seemed willin to tell all he knew, Dut stated that his memory o events which occurred six years ago was impatred, especially as he was unable to refer to the books of the bank. The lawyers had with them a number of books, copies of en- tries and memoranda, but the _ principal books are in Chicago. With reference to two large notes he left behind, one for $40,000 and the other for $500,0v0, Spencer could not tell how they were made up, but said they represented the first purchases of the stock which had been carried by the banks for him before he took charge of the State Savings Institution. He canceled his old notes with the money of the bank, and left two notes in the vault, with the stock as collateral, when he ran away in 1877. THE RECEIVER’S STATEMENT. CHICAGO, August 23.—Judge Otis, receiver of the defunct bank, saia this morning that he was about closing his receivership, having disposed of the assets, and is now paying the seventh divi- dend to depositors. He did not know whether Spencer would return to face the indictmeat now standing against him of Lert a $750,000. He thought he would, however, if the indictment were quashed and he could be guaranteed his liberty. MISSOURI NEWS. Pardons and Appointments—Dr. J. ©. Rex Killed at Isadora.

Itis the general belief that Jim is afraid to come here. Some excitement was created last night by the receipt through the mail by Judge Irvin and Harfield Davis of anonymous warnings, to be careful in their testimony against Frank James. Both sides denounce such tactics, and Frank James said this morning that no true friend of his would ao anything so ridiculous. MURDER AND SUICIDE, Geo. Beatty Shoots a Woman and Then Kills Himself.

No afternoon session of the Merchants’ Ex- change will be held until September10. Monday’s board opens at 10:15 a. m.;on other days at 9:15. Some one on the floor has been gulling the too- confiding reporter of a morning paper with the lurid state of a ‘‘corner” in August oats. As the shortage for August is at the outside not over 50,- 000 bushels, as the stock here is 72,000 bushels and as large receipts are expected by next week, this springing of a “corner” in August oats appears to ne a little premature. It is said thata certain party who is long 10,000 bushels for this month gave the reporter the information he made use of for his paper, the long devoutly believing that if he got the report started of a “corner” that the market would go up ’steen cents or so a bushel. ——Anent the report of yellow fever in Memphis, Fath, Ewald & Co. wired Gorseich & Trezevant of that city, askincif the report was so. In an- swer they received the following: ‘Report of yel- CHICAGO. 7 September; 2614 October; 26 year; 29%, May. Pro- 4 — tember 1, consignee, and on all grain so stored ¢ per bushel will be made for special As some of the elevators have not ‘been making this charge, this acfion has become neces- sary by reason of the extra labor and care attend- ing the handling of special bin grain.” B other extremely dull day in grain speculation. Sus very few orders were received, and parties olding these orders found it extremely cifficult tofill them. The reguiar local operators, who in busy times trade in large amounts each day, are now standing aloof, and when they do trade are content with ‘‘scalping,’ in and out on the market for quick terms. Wheat futures raised but slightly in price, the range at the outside be- ing only about %c. The market opened weaker, but improved some, only to fall back again later. In these fluctuations this market followed the changes value elsewhere, Other were easier at the opening with cables rather mixea, reporting wheat dull and heavy to 3@6d higher, latter for off coast and to arrive. Private cables gave wheat as very quiet, with buyers standing aloof, and the weather as very favorabie for harvesting. Receipts held up right well in Western markets,Toledo receiving 125 cars. Chicago 114 cars and St. Louis 93,000 bu. The visible supply and amount on passage showed au increase, too. The feeling was said to be turn- ing more and more bearish in the different markets of this country, the accumulating sup- plies and lack of export demand, and the ap- proach of the time when spring wheat will com- mence to move freely, causing the bulls to hold off and emboidening the bears. But the latter hadn’t nerve enough to sell freely, and ahy sicns of an advance set most of them to covering. The close was dull, with August, O¢tober, November and year \%&c lower, and September 4c higher than yesterday’s close, Corn futures were dead dull, very few operators being found who would trade. Chanyes in vaiue were slight, owing to the lack of speculation. Steady to firm cables, with corn to arrive higher, a steady shipping demand and a strong cash market were offsets to large re- ceipts from the country and fine prospects for the growing crop. After the noon call the feeling was much weaker, and August and ber were \%4c lower and November off, but other options about same as close of gg omg Pats were lirm and hong improved \%c, but little was done. Cash grades of wheat were steady on call, with the exception of Mediterranean, which declined a fraction. There was a moderate milling demand for about all grades and a good shipping inquiry for No. 3 red and No. 4; mest of the No. 2 red was taken by the shorts.

JOE SHELBY declares that he has positive knowledge that FRANK JAMES wasn’t in the broad State of Missouri on the occasion of the Winston train robbery. It has been our settled conviction from the first that FRANK would be able to establish an alibi. THE Prosecuting Attorney of the City Court, of Louisville, died on Tuesday and Before the cortege returned from the cemetery twelve enter- prising lawyers had applied for the deceased gentleman’s official brogans. Law business must be about as slack in Louisville as it is in St. Louis. Ir would be a Jasting shame not to have the city beautifully illuminated during Fair Week.

He should return to the business and keep from under the public eye. — —-— ee eee A pIspatcH from Constantinople says ‘the’ Patriarch of Armenia, has tendered his resignation.” For the benefit and infor- mation of the one hundred St. Louis lawyers outof employment we would remark that the pay of an Armenian Patriarch is 15,000 Turkish piasters per annum, with pickings, The fare to Armenia (second class)ds about $300.

Ten cowboys have been arrested by p cers from other town, but the ‘cowboys are still ugly.’ Hunnewell is growing up to dispute with Dodge City the rank of the banner town in the Northwest for general vivacity,” THE SUN. The Sun says: “This is the year before the Presidential election. It is extremely important to the Democrats to sueceed now in order that they may succeed then. How can they do it? They must present an united front toe the enemy. The piace for every Democrat is in the Demo- cratic ranks, Let us have no outside movements, no guerillaing, no bolters. Let us have harmony, union and vietory. New York is one of the great battie grounds. Here the Democracy must eoin- mand itsfull strength, To make sure of carrying the State néxt year the Democratic party should make sure of carrying itnow. Thereis only gne way.

THE PEOPLE'S FORUM. Where the Readers of the Post-Dispatch Get a Hearing. Sr. Lours, August 23, 1883. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch; 1 noticed with pain and sorrow, and I suppose thatI am not alone in this feeling, in your usually impartial paper, letters referring to the disposition of the Garfield Monument fund. I think such letters unworthy of insertion in any St, Louis paper, especially in one purporting to be independent of political control. If any of the subscribers to that fund think they are so good and virtuous as to throw filth on the grave of such amanas James A. Garfield, let them have their money back by all means. His old comrades will fully make up the amount thus abstracted. There are a class of men m this city who in times of excitement try to purchase a little cheap notoriety by subscribing to such funds. Their hearts are as hollow as their professions. They are the kind who would spurn the unfortu- nate from their doors, because there is no gain to them,no hope of seeing their names in print.

P.-D,} : A Dangerous Institution. ST, Louis, August 22, 1883. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch: Yesterday I accompanied two ladies from Union Depot to the Relay Depot in East St. Louis on the 7:50 a. m. train of the Wabash Road. Something happened while in the tunne! which detained the train a few minutes, and, as the porter had not fas- tened the ventilators securely, the passengers in tite car came very near being suffvcated by the smoke that found its way through three or four ventilators that were not closed. Had the train been delayed a few minutes longer some,if notall, ot the passengers would have strangled to death, The poemongere were very much scared, the wom- en and children all erying piteousiy. I think it would be well for the roads running through the tunnel to see that porters close all ventilators securely. A CITIZEN. Is this a Reflection? St. Lours, August 23, 1883. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. In your last night’s issue 1 see that you an- nounce that the Mayor has sent for confirmation to the Council the name of Mr. Turner for Street Commissioner, on account of the large amount of street construction now under way. Many of your readers may not understand this, but if they care to take a five cent ride out tothe Mayor’s residence they can then see the amount of street construction that has been done for him and his rsonal friends, such as the greding of lots, fill- ing in alleys, ete. Oh, yes, Mr. Turner is the only maw in the city for the place. Respectfully, JACOB SCHMIDT. The English Language. ST. Louis, August 22, 1883. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch: I am anxious to become better acquainted with the correct use of the English language, and not having the time to attend school, thought per- haps you could advise me what course to pursue. you know of any book that I could use that would enable me to attain that end, in the shori- est possible time, By answering soon you will greatly oblige a constant reader of the P.-D.., J.

From the Washington Capital. “What are these things?’ I asked, glancing at ajar fullof what seemed new potatoes. “Oh,” replied Dr. Rice, “they are tonsils and fungus rowths of various kinds that I have removed rou) professional throats. The lady who has juss left was afflicted with these obstructious and was surprised that they could be cut away so easily.” By this time ay companion was in the doctor's hands, and a platinum wire atiactied to anelectric battery was half way down his throat. Py a dex- terous twist of the wrist the doctor looped a hair- like wire around one of the singer's tonsils. “Now, steady,” said he. turning on the eiectric current, The wire was instantly at white heat, and before one could look twice the tonsil was out. When the doctor exhibited it there wasa smell of fried liver. “By George, I'll go for the other tonsil and all the restof the things in my throat,” exclaimed the baritone, spitting oui something that looked like a button of beet. Baldheaded Bribery. From the Lexington (Ky.) Gazette, Dem.! The shamelesspess with which bribery was practiced at the eleciion in Louisville,where there was a local contest for the Legislature in one of the districts, should be rebuked iv the most suin- mary manner, and neither candidate shouid be admitted to the seat. Many negroes have come to expect to be paid for their votes, and a certain class of low whites are no better, They sell their suffrage outright and shamelessly, and not only once but many times. To punish the repeater |s not the way to reach and remedy the evil, but the man who has bribed, or whos friends have bribed, yoters ought to be made to suffer in his own person, It is a nigh crime, and should be de- nounced astreason against the Siate, and be made to work a forfeiture of all civil rights.

The first sppde was struck into the ground at Missouri Park preparatery to the conversion ot that place into what will beeome the Exposition and Music Hall at 8 o’clock this morning. There was po ceremony about the act, although it was expected that Mr, 8am M, Kennard, President of the Board of Directors of the Expusition, would dig up tne first spadeful. Mr. Kennard, however, declined the honer and the first spade was struck into the ground by one of the workmen employed by the contractors whe are making the exeava- tiou. The men were on hand early ‘and when the signal to begin digging was given the men went to work With a will, each apparently emulous of the honor of striking the soi] with his homely teol first. The section where . THE WORK OF EXCAVATION was inanguraied is at the northeast corner of the park. The force at present employed numbers forty men, but will be inereased as the work pro- gressés. Messrs. Patrick D, Sage & Son are the contractors. The whole north side of the park will be excavated first and in about two weeks that portion of the ground will be ready for the stonemasons who are to build the foundations of the north part of ihe Exposition building. The total amount of earth to be remosed from the Park gronnds before they are brougnt down to the grade of the surrounding streets is 42,725 cu- bic yards and in addition it will be necessary to remove about 10,000 cubic yards of earth betore the foundations of the great buyild- laid. At present, sides the men engaged in digging the earth, about fifty teams are busily employea in carrying the earth away. This earth has been sold to Messrs. Dank Brothers, to the Eau Claire Lumber Company, the Knapp, Stout & Co, Com pany, and other firms doing business along the river front, and will be used to the CONSTRUCTION OF ARTIFICIAL LEVEES. It will be necessary to employ about one hundred and fitty additional teams in or- der to facilitate tie removal of the earth, and the eceasion is an excellent one for teamsters. Each wagon can carry about ten cubic yards of earth and make nine trips a day and the wages that wi.l be paid are at the rate of fifty cents per trip. Mr. Sage statedtoa reporter that he expects to have the .exvavation eoinpleted in about two months from tiis time. During this morning numerous applications were made to the contractors for permission to cut and remove the sodding from the surface of the park, Sueh applications were granted inevery case. The trees iu the park will be dug up and removed for the present to be replanted as seon as the Expo- sition building isina fair way of erection. In less than two months theretore the entire charac- ter of Missouri Park will have been altered, and a resort that for nearly thirty years has been a breathing space for the entire neighborhood in which it was located will here cease 10 exist. THE HISTORY OF THE PARK. Missouri Park was aequired by the city of St. Louis from the late James H. Lucas, by deed dated March 19, 1857, in pursuance of an ordinance adopted in the summer of 1854. The southern balf of the park Was purehased troin Mr. Lueas for the sini ol finctf-five thousand dollars and the Sale was unaccompanied by any conditions. The north half was donated by Mr. Lucas to the city for park purposes. The deed recites as follows: "The said James H.

It was necessary therefore, hoider lo secure a periect title to the property, to obtain from the heirs of Mr, Lucas a formal ye- linguishment of their reversionury interest in the property.

Gieselman, While Suffering From a Fatal Injury, is Locked Up. a — The Coroner’s Attention Directed toa Case That Deserves a Thorough Investigation— Curious Case. Yesterday afternoon William Gieselman, a ja- borer died at his home, No. 1809 Linn street, under circumstances that leave the cause at the door of some city officers, Owing to the peculiar circum- stances the responsibility wiil not be plaeed un- less the Coroner will take this unoffi- cial notice of the matter and begin a searening investigation without delay. On the atternoon of July 31, Gieseiman was working at au excavation tor 4 sewer at Lhe corner of Seventh and Kutger streets. Wiile adjusting a plank over the bole he slipped and fell head-foremost into the exeavation. Some citizens passing de- Sseended to his assistance and found -him Ib ab unconscious condition at the bottom of the pit. He was carried up to the street and some One rau to a neighboring grocery store and pro- cured some whisky which was yiven to the man without stint. A physician was cailed on and after making a hurried examination started over to the arug stere, but on retarning found his patieut missing. A poiice officer had arrived on the scene in the meantime and turned in a califorthe patrol wagon, which re- spouded and into which THE INJURED MAN was helped. He was siiil uwconscious, and as the officers were undecided as to whether the man was lu need of mnedical attention or hot, they drove to the Dispensary. where the man ‘was ex- amined again abd pronounced drunk and his re moval to tue Four Courts without further medieal attention advised. The wagon was driven back to the Four Courts and by this time he bad par- tially recovered. At the Central piation he was searched and sent down to the caiaboose for safe keeping. All that uicht he lay ina helpless coa- dition iu One of the eelis and in the morning was found to be on the verge of total unconselous- ness. His wile had called to see him, but was not admitted, as it was supposed the man was too drunk to speak intelli- genutiy vo anybody. Ou the following morning, August 1, Capt. Fruchte ordered Gieselimuan’s re- lease and reinoval to his home, Ne, 1809 Liun street. Since that date the man did not recover eonsciousness aud yesierday he died at bis home, During his Ulness consequent on the fall be was attended by ' DR. LEMEN, who was found at his office corner et Seventh and Washington avenue and asked about the nature of the fatal illness. He said: *l wascalied on by the family after Dr. Hauck and attended the deceased uutil his death. When I saw him he showed symptoms of concus- sion of the brain and some inflammation resulting from aiall, 1 do not kuow anytiung of the acci- dent orthe subsequent treatinent of the man, except as I learned it from the family. They told me that the deceased was placing a plank over a sewer on Seventh and Rut- ger streets, when it slipped and precipitated bin into the sewer. He tell on his head, and was lifted out by some citizens or workmen. Some one ot him some whisky and Dr. Hauck was called, e went to the drug store ter something aud dur- ing his absence the police wagon removed the mau to the Dispensary. I have since heard some- thing of his treatment, but I do not know the facts,” ‘What was the man’s eondition ?” “Suffering from a cones. ou of the brain and wandering iu his taik. Atne time since I first saw him was lhe inteliigent enough to make a statement about the aecciden.. His skull was not fractured, as far as I could see. i did not make a post-moriem examination and it may be that the inner plate was fractured. If there was a depres- sion or anything that I could see I would have trephined him or given relief ia some Way. 1 issued u certificate of death from concussion of the brain, and do not know whether itisa cor- oner’s Casé or not.” CAPT. FRUCHTE was seen and asked about the statements made. On consulting the books he said: “Yes, this man was brought here of the evening of August 31 under circumstances about as follows. The patrol wagon was called to Seventh and Rutger, or wherever the sewer was being dug, and this man was found there. He had beeh bathed with whisky, and of course, there was somebody there who thought that as soon as a@ man is hurt whisky must be poured inio him. Well, the general impression left was that the Mah was under the influence of liquor. However, he wus taken to the City Dispensary, as he was bruised about the right bip and shoulder. He leit the impression that he was drunk and be was ordered back tothe Four Courts, where be was locked up and marked “connned” on the books, as it was the intention to send him to court the following day on a charge of being drunk on the street. it developed, however, that the man was sick and he was released = and taken home by his family. I don’t Know any- thing further about the matter than that the man was apfarently drunk. Officer Bottischer of the Patrol Wagou took him to the Dispensary.” A CALL AT THE CITY HALL did not go far towards clearing up the case. The physician in charge at the desk said: “I don’t re- member any such case at all.” The reporters’ accident book was then consulted and found to be silent on the subject. “In this book,” said he, turn- ing to the register, ‘‘all cases of any kind that come here, are entered up, and I do not find any such aname. He did not receive treatinent here, and was probably taken te some place other than is.” a noon to-day the family of the deceased in- formed Coroner Nidelet of the facts in the case and asked that he investigate the circumstances as soon as possible, as a suit against the city would probably result. Coroner Nideiet stated that he would do his best to investigate the mat- ter before to-morrow. BELLEVILLE. 'Squire Medart married Alonzo Pitts to Eveline anecy. The parties reside near Mascoutah.

GALLATIN, Mo., August 22,—The lawyers. the juryraen and the cloud of witnesses in attendance upon the trial of the noted outlaw, Frank James, have taken a rest to-day, the attorneys for the de- fense being engaged in examination of the panel of jurors. At1o’elock to-morrow afternoon the jury will be selected and the opening speeches made. Owing to the very limited accommodations in the battered old Couyt House, Judge Goodman has engaged the opera house fer the season, so te Speak, and the trial will be eonducted with all the appurtenanees of a “deep wood in three,” The curtain will not be lowered, however, until the end of the rageey or ftarce—whieh it is to be, opinions differ. The opera house hasa seating Gapacity of 400.and tickets of admission not ex- ceeding that number will be issued by the Sheriff each day, The audience will be required to re- move their hats, and seventeen gentlemanly ush- ers, designated by German silver stars and heavy clubs, will preserve order, The perform- anee will commence promptly each morn- o’clock and continue through- day, with an intermission for luneh at noon. There is also a strong prospect of evening sessions being held, The lit- tie city of Gallatin is much puffed up ever its sen- Sation. Its very agreeable eltizens are exerting themselves in every manner to entertain their guests ana are succeeding admirably. The hotels ure erowded and private families have thrown open their houses. The sinzle saloon in the town, to rua whieh the proprietor pays a license of $1,400 per annum is doing a land office business, yet there is very littie hilarity shown, SHOOTING GALLERIES have been improvised and lemunade and soda Stands ure on every corner. A troupe of Ludians who do some marvelous rifle shootingis drawing large audienees .to its teut every hight. I had heard so much about the correct pistol shooting of Northwest Missourians, and have baunted the shooting galleries only two be dis- appoiited. There are ali sorts of ru- mors in circulation as to what witnesses ure here. Chariey Ford has been parad- ing around the streets for two days, followed by gaping erowds of country boys. He seems to en- Joy the notoriety very much. Just before leaving Piaite City tv come here he was arrested at the depot for carrying concealed weapons, and only released on $200 ball. His brother, Bob Ford, Will not come here for reasous mainly prudential, There is very littie probability that Charley Ford will be put on the stand, The main witness of the State is Dick Liddeli, who will testify that Frank James admitted to him that he had killed Frauk MeMillan, the stone mason, at the Winston robbery. This is to be backed up by the testimony of Llarmers, who will testify to having seen aud recognized Prank James in the vicinily of Wiusion of July 15, 1881, the date of the robbery. THE DEFENSE WILL BE AN ALIBI. Exactly What wituesses will be produced in bis bevall are not Known, but two ladies wiio ar- rived from Maeon Cit are said te be of the number. Liddeli is here, put keeps very close to his hotel. Frank James, when he appeared in court yesterday, was fauitiessiy at- tived in black, and bore almost a cierieal appear- ance. Many of the audience saw him for the first time. He shows his confinement piuinly, his face having very little color. Tu-day he received no visitors other than lis attorneys, and his friend Major Jolin Edwards of the St. Joseph Gazette, who will remain until the ead. He refused to see the newspaper correspondents to-day, simply sending out word that his case is in the hands of his attorneys, and that they will do his talking. His wife and lhittie six- year-old son are bere with him, and both spent the speater part of the day in the plaia but com- fortable cel IN THE SECOND STORY OF THE JAIL, which he has tuhabited since last February. Sheriff Crozier treats him kindly, and allows him many comlorts. The boy is a handsome, manly little fellow, and walked into court, holding his father’s hand, yesterday. An interesting feature of te first day’s proceedings was 4 notice served by the court from the bench, that ali persons appearing in the court room earrying concealed weapons would be rigidly prosecuted. The attorneys for James are all members of the bar of very hign sanding. Col, Joun F, Phillips, of the Supreme Court Commission, appeared at tle jast Moment to take part in the case. A Kausas Ciy Times reporter vainly endeavered to interview the Colouel as to the line of defense, and in writing up ~=his_ failure, said that the Colonel was ‘dumb.’ ‘The in- telligent compositor set it up “drunk.” The Colonel was highly indignant, and the Times of this morning makes several frantie apologies. The other attorneys for James are Chas. P. John- son aud Jolm M. Gloyer of St. Louis, Hor. Heary Clay Dean of Rebel Cove, James H. Siaver of In- dependence, Hon, J. W. Alexander and C. ‘1’. Gar- ner of this city. The proseculion is in the hands of Wim. allace, Prosecuting Attorney of Jackson County, assisted by Prosecuting Attorney W. D. Hamilton of Daviess Coun- ty, Col, J. HH. Sbhankiin of Trenton, Judge John F. Hecklen of Daviess County, M. A. Leon, of Trenton and H.C, McDougall of this city. THE REAL‘MANAGEMENT OF THE CASE is in tue hands of Mr. Walluee, who bus carefully prepared his testimouy. A bitter fight is assured and ove tiat will be memorabie. If James is not convicted here, that will practically eud the pros- ecnution in this Staie. There are three indictments in Daviess County in this State against James. The first charges him with the murder of Frank McMillan of Wilton, lowa, at the Winston rob- bery, July 15, 188i, andfor murderin the commis- sion of rubbery. The second is for the murder of Conductor Westiall at Winston, and the third is forthe murder of Capt. Sheets in the robbery of the Gallatin Bank on December 7, 1868. The first indictment is to be tried first. There are two eye-witnesses of the murder of Capt. Sheets here, but there has always been some doubt as to the compuricity of Frank James in the matter. JESSE WAS IN THE DASH, and so was Jin Anderson, and probably Frank. Captain Sheets was shot whie standing in the door of bis bank. The bandits dropped the money they had seized in their struggle and fled. Jesse James’ horse ran away from tim. A constable caught up to him and said “You are my prisoner.” Jesse put his revolver at the constable’s head and the officer threw up his hands. Jesse then ran aud jumped up behind Frank and they rode out of towu double, untii they meta farmer on a horse, which they took aw.y from him. MH. 8. P. COX OF THIS CITY, who led the forces aginst Bill Auderson at Cam- den and killed that desperado, always believed that Jim Anderson and the James Brothers came here to kil) him and shot Captain Sheets in mis- take. Mr.Cox had BiliAnderson’s reyolyers aud Jim hag threatened to come here and get them, Tue liule brick building where this tragedy occurred is still standing atthe southwest corner of the public square, and is visited by the curivus.

Grocery Store Entered and Safe Robbed of $1,700—Curondelet Jottings. Burglars are at work in this part of the eity, and last night the grocery store of Batrick Cum- mings, corner of Main and Upten streets, was broken into hetween the hours of 11 and 4 o'clock, the storm doubtless aiding to prevent diseovery. The panels of a rear door were first bered with an augur, and after being taken out it was an easy matier to Jift the iron bar from its place across the door. Once inside they pried the door off df the safe from which was taken $1,300 in Government four per cent bonds, also between three and four hundred dollars in money. The burglars took the precaution, after getting inside, to securely fasten, by roll- ing boxes and barrels against them, the other doors, which would prevent interruption only by the door through which they effected an entrance. Before leaving, from appearances. they made a hearty meal from chéese and crackers, and helped themselves liberally to various kinds of liquors, Mr. Cummings with his family resides in rooms immediately over the store. The tools used were left by the burglars in the store, but were taken from Keppler’s blacksmith shop as he has identi- fied them as his. NOTES.

A Literal Transtation of Parts of It Made Public. From the London Times, The following is a literal translation of the commencement of the manuscript now de- posited in the British Museum. It will be seen thatitis amore succinct narrative of the journeys of the Israelites taan that given in the received text of Deuteronomy, and that these appear in a differentorder. Mod- ern critics who have taken exception on ge- ographical grounds to the order in which the journeys are enumerated in the received text will find that the questionable points do not arise in this recension: COL. I. **These be the words which Moses spake ac- eording to the mouth of Jehovah unfo all the children of Israel in the wilderness beyond the Jordan in tne plain. God vur God spake unto us in Horeb, saying, ye have dwelt long enough in this mount. urn you and take your journey and go to the mount of the Atnorites, and to all the places nigh there- unto, in the plain, in tne hills, and in the vale and Dy the seaside, And when we de- parted fromioreb we went through all that great and terrible wilderness, which ye saw; and we came to Kades-Barnea. And I sai unto you, Yeare come this day’ unto the inountain of the Amorites. Go ye up and possess ye the land, as said funto thee the God of thy father) [Notwithstanding] ye would [not go up. ud] ye murmured and said, Because [God] hated us * * * to cause us to perish. And God was angry [and sware] saying, As I live, surely all the peo- ple that saw my wonders and my signs which Ihave done these 10 times * * * not * * * they have not hearxened unto my veice, they shall not see that good land which I sware to give unto their fathers, save vour children and Caleb, the son of Jephunneh, and Joshua, the son of Nun, which standeth before thee, they shall go in thither, and unto them wili lgiveit. Butas for you, turn you and take your journey into the wilderness by way of the Red Sea, uuti! all the generation of the men of rebellion shall be wasted out from among the host. [And they abode] in Ka- desh-Barnea until the men of rebellion were wasted cut by death from among the host. * * * Ye are to pass over this day the coast of the children of Esau, which dwell in Seir. Thon shalt not distress them, nor meddle with them in war, for I wiil not give you of their land any possession, because I have given it unto the children of Esau for a possession. The Horim from of old dwelt therein, and the children of Esau succeeded tuem and dwelt in their stead. And we turned and passed the wilderness of Moab. And Gud said unto me, Ye shal! pass over tiis day the coast of Moab. Ye shall not distress them, nor meedie with them in war, for I will not give you of their land any pos- session, because I have given unto the chil- dren of Lut the city for a possession. The giants dwelt therein from of old and the Mvuabites cailed them Amim, but God de- stroyed them, and they dweit in their stead. And we turned and passed the Brook Zered, And God said unto me, [say- ing.}| Kise yeup and pass over the River Arnon. This day will 1 begin to deliver to thy face Sihon the Amorite, King $f Hesh- bon, and his land. And we webt fwurth against Sihon to Jahaz, and we smote him tili we left him none to remain. nd we took all his cities from Aroer, which is by the brink of the river Arnon, unto Gilead and unto the brook Jabbok. God and our God delivered ali unto us. Then we turned and went up the way of the brook Jabbok. And God said unto me, saying, Ye are to pass this day the coast of the la:d of the children of Ammon. Ye shall not distress them nor meddle with them in war, because I have given unto the children of Lot the jand of the chiidren of Ammon for a posses- sion. The giants dweit therein from of old, andthe Ammonites calied the from Azain- zummim, but God destroyed them before them aud they dweltin their stead.” Mr. Sbapira made on Monday to the authorities of the British Museum a state- ment tu the following elfect: “He first heard of the fragmentin the middie of July, 1378. A sheik, with several Arabs of diiferent tribes, came to him at his place of business in Jerusalem on other matters. The sheik had nvuthing to do with antiquities, ‘They spoke of sume Jittle biack fragments of writing in the possession of an Arab. They had been found in the neigh- porhood of the Arnon. One of the Arabs spoke of them as talismans smelling of asphalt. he day following Shapira was invited to dinner by the sheik, and heard more about the fragments. About the year 1865, ata time of persecution, certain Arabs had hid themselves among the rocks. ‘There, on the side of a rocky cavern, they found several bundles wrapped in linen. Peeling off the covering they found only black fragments, which they threw away. They were picked up by one of the Arabs, beiieving them to be talismans. He kept them as such, and became rich, as he thoug t, in consequence. ‘This was probably ten years or more before Shapira heard of them. Capt. Conder knows the exact time. Shapira romised the sheik a reward if he would bring vo him an Arab he spoke of who wou.d be able to get hold of the fragments. This happened onthe day of tne dinner. The sheik fet! iil and aiterward died. “A puut ten or twelve days after the dinner aman of the Ajayah trive brought to hima small piece, containing four columns, A few words only were legibie. A week after, on Sunday, he brought fourteen or fifteen cojumns, containing the clearer writing. ‘The next Suhdav he brought fourteen or fifteen more cojumns in another cliaracter of writing but not all of one form, Ten days after, on Wed.esday, he brought three or four columns very black. Shapira saw nothing more of bim. After an interval of four or five weeks Shupira wrote to Prof. Schlottman, on the 294th of September; soon after, also, to Dr. Rieu. The writings were (some of them) in better condition than at present. Schiott- menn wrote that they were fabrications, and blamed Shapira for os them a sacred text. He never saw the writings themse!ves, gniy Shapira’s copy. Schlotunan wrote in similar terms to the consul at Jerusalem, Baron von Munchausen, and desired him to revent Shapira from making the find pub- ic. Then Shapira wrote or telegraphed to Dr. Rieu that the writings were forgeries, and that he was to take.no steps in respect to ‘This ; P ae : eghar Bort hh te 6 SEO Re ag tok | hs ene beh ae tee > as 9 . a Bid io aaa ah Peele | ie Slee et he ee : FRR BAL wie he : . a Oo and > vr. = WD s ¥] ! uscripts, It was before Easter of the pres- ent year that he re-examined them, and he phered them a second time. Prof. hroeder, Consul in Beyrout, saw them in e middle of mer, 1883, and pronounced em genuine. e wanted to purchase them. Shapira took the writings to Leipsie atthe end of July to have them photo- grerhed. Professors there saw them. Dr. ermann believed in them, as did Prof, Guthe, who intends to write about them, They had been smeared with asphalt vorig- inally as a kind of enbalmment. ‘They be- caine further darkened by the use of oil and spirits. The oil was used by the Arabs to eounteract the brittleness and to prevent theiv suffering from wet.” ANDREW GANTZ, St. Louis, Mo., says aftera severe attack of malaria he took two botiles of Brown’s Iron Biiters aud was cured.

From the Detroit Free Press. He wasa young map with a $40-suit of clothes on, and he had made arraugements to take his girl and her mother down to Put- in-Bay. He left them on the buat while he ran up town to get some cigars, and scarcely had he disappeared when aman with a hatchet face and a red goatee approached the ladies and inquired of the mother: “Going duwn to the Bay?” “Yes, sir.” “Never sea-sick in a gale, eh?’ “Gaie!l is it gding to Diow ’’”’ she asked in alarm. “Flag is up, and that means wind, yon know. Madam, the—the young man who just left here is—you know—that is, he loves your charming daughter.” “He waits upon her, sir.” “Ah! exactly. lft you want him for a son- ws geet you go on this trip!” és sir 7) 4 “I’m telling you honest, madam. Your daughter will be sea-sick first. She will call for alemon, and some wine, and some pickles, and she will sigh and groan, and her hair will come duwn, and her bows skew around, and in half an hour you won’t know her. She'll be a faded thower—a crushed biussom. The voung man won't know whether it is his dariing or a bundle of rum- pled muslin.” “Dear me! but I’m alarmed ?”’ “Aud then you'll begin to hate the thought of fried pork and baked potawes and rib roasts, and ten minutes later you'll thump down on a sofa and ciutch and cling and groan aud lament.” ‘But George will be kind to us.” **Madam, rge Will have preaty of busi- ness On hand.

Philadelphia Special to Chicago Tribune. J. Howard Griffith, one of the largest own- ers of the Mannerchor Garden of this city, and an »ex-inember of the City Council, at- tempted suicide at his cottage at Atlantic City Friday. Mrs, C. B. Mecke, an attract- ive woman,whuose relations with the wealthy cottager have now become a matter of scan- dal, was present wnen her lover took the al- most fatal duse.

Ail the luxury that wealth could command contributed to the gratification of the guests. Upon a blue satin divan the pork imerchant’s daughter, gorgeous in silks and pearis apd diamonds, was conversing with a friend. Presently her father appr ed and said: 3 “Pauline, I want to say a word to you. The girl arose and acccompanied her parent to the seclusion of a bay window. “Pauline.” began the old man, “‘there’s a couple of Cleveiand dudes in the dining-room having @ hot talk about Copernicus. I was afraid they were going to ask me to decide the dispute, soil made some excuse to get out and come to you. Nuw tell me who was Copernicus, anyhow r “O, father,” exclaimed Pauline, “how could you be so iguorant? Why, any school boy knows who Copernicus was. He sailed from Palvs, Spain, on the 3d/of August, 1492, and discovered America the following Octo- bear.’ The venerable purveyor of swine gazed ex- ultingly at his daughter a momeutanud then said, witha suggestion of saduess in his tones: ‘Pauline, my child, if I had r brains, I might bave been an United states Sevator from Ohio.” ; a % ae ohn B.Crump &Ck : * : : 3 . ae ee.

Branching off from secession history your correspondent made-a wide stride by coming down to what most interests the American eleetor—the next Presidency—and to his question, “Do you think the Democratic par- ty Will nominate the old ticket?” Jadge lack replied that he hoped not. He would rather see it reversed—Hendricks and Tilden. He believed that Tilden might fill the office of Vice-> resident creditably, and Hendricks would make an admirable Bhesident: ut his choice was Haneuek, he was for Hancock in- side and ovt, right and left and under all eir- cuuisiances, “If nominated again would Hancock run better than in 1880?” was asked by your cor- r spondent, and the reply was, “He would have to run better to be elected.” In allud- ing to the campaign of 1880 Judge Black was very severe on the newspaper eorrespondent who gave publicity to a statement respecting the tariff aileged to have been made by Han- cuck, but which the Judge characterized as a lie cut from the whole cloth, He was even more pungent in his remarks respecting Sen- ator Randoiph, of New Jersey, in advising Gen. Hancock to make a written sta:ement concerning that alleged interview on the tariff. ‘Randoiph is a high tariff man, and that ought to have disqualified bim from giv- ing advice toa Democratic candidate for President,” said the Judge taking another dainty chew of “fine cut,” made from the Cheicest of Lancaster county tobacco, and ending the sentenes with the remark: “No man can be a good Democrat who believes ina tardf for provection, and he has no right to advise a Democratic candidate for President.” a “Wi ll the Republicans nominate Gen Ar- dur! tue Judge hesitated a full minute and then repiied, with an emphatie, “No, if Ar- thur should be nominated he would not stand the remotest chance of an election.” BLAINE FOR PRESIDENT. Continuing his conversation, Judge Black said he considered Blaine the strongest man on the Republican side, and if he were a can- didate and his triends concluded to support him tor tue numination he wouid sweep them all down—Arthur, Sherman, Edmunds, Lo- gan and the rest—iike chaff before a cyclone. Judge Black did not consider Biaine a great Stalesman—as LO man could be possessed’of the loose notions eutertained by Republicans in relation to the rights of the State and the Constitution—but Biaine is by all odds the ablest politician in either party at the pres- ent time; he was the only man Judge Black could cali to mind who had anything like a followiug. Said he:—‘Blain hasa distinet- ive, aggressive and a decidediy able fullow- ing in alinost every State, but he is not a can- didate. He has assured me of tnis himseif aud in sucha way thatl cannot doubt the sincerity of his statement.” **Will not this positive refusal of Blaine to be a candidate help rather than hinder his nonunation?” aswed your correspondent, and Judge Black responded:—“Ido not think that is a part of his programme; but, whether it is or not, if Blaine’s friends start out to nominate lim in 1884 I can see nothing that will preveut their being successful.” THL TARIFF. Judge Black was asked what in his opin- ion would be the position of the two parties in reference to the tariff question in 1884. He believed the R-publicaus would straddle tha tariff question, as they always have done; that they would endeavor tv uave the Demo- cratic party colmmit itself to the same prin- | ciples of protection as the Republicaus pro- fessed, their Object being to get both parties in such a pusitivn that they could appeal to tue people for their support on the ground of being better protectionists than the Demo- crats; but their plan would not work. In speaking of the Democrats the Juuge said that they must meet the tariff question bold- ly—it has become too broad for Democrats to attempt to straddle; they musf declare for a tarift fur reveuue only, adjusied to meet the demauds of the Guvernment administration with strict integrity and iu the most econon- ical manner. Ail internal taxes must be abolisued, and in order to make up the amount vow coliected as internal revenue the tariff must be reduced. ‘‘For instance,”’ said Judge Biack, “‘we now coliect $1,500 a year ou wovlen biankets. Reduce the cariff tu ten per cent ad valorem aud we would culieet $25,000,000 in duties on imported blan- kets. ‘Lie sawe thing applies to barbed wire, carpets, clothing and everything the poor man requires to use ib his Louse.” THREE FAMOUS BARGAINS, In speaking of the campaign vf 1880, Judge B.ack said be considered the bargain made between Gartield and the New Y ork Stal- warts—by which they were to get, in consid- eration of their support of Garueld, Mr. E. D, Morgan as Secretary of the Lreasury and Stanley Matthews as a Justice of the Su- preme Court—the most iniamous ever made in this country, It was infinitely worse than the Hayes bargains of 1876, .r the Adains- Clay bargain, whereby Andrew Jackson was cheated vut of the Presideucy. years’ Dr. J.

The Curious Crusader Cloth, the Judee Red and Other Notes, From Various Journals. The most pronounced noveity of the season is the Crusader cloth, a beautifully fine, but tirm, warm fabric, woven in many colours into broche figures of a mediwval character, shields, escuicheons, helmets, battle-axes, swords, daggers, coats of mail, crests and neraidic devices of all sorts. The Parisians are using these cloths for jackets, witha hauberk vodice and full pilgrim sleeves, or long, loose Crusader cloaks, with sleeves a la religieuse, or made up in the new Mollere coat, revived by Mme. Sara Bernhardt and ealied by her name. The dramatic artists wiil weicome this novelty with enthusiasm. The Gubelin Ottomans, with their graccful designs in subdued colors on dark, quiet grounds, will be much worn by conservative wowen of the best taste and with sufficient means to gratify the same, The velvet broche serges and Ottomans, with scattered figures and blocks of velvet chenille on wool grounds, will also be favorites with this class of ladies. The new cheviot effects, woven in _ stripes and bars for one part of the costume and plain for the other, will take the piace of the mixtures so admired last season and which are not brougut out this season. Grecian cluth, a woul fabric, is another high noveity. It is a broche stuff, with Greek designs of a severely classic style. which will be appre- ciated by artists and theatrical people. A new color that claimors for favor, both in dress goods and in millinery, is known as ‘‘Judee,” a deep purplish shade of crushed strawberry. New greens awaiting iutroduc- tions are “Cresson,” a water cress shade of green, and “Grenonville,” a frog green, A number of brown shades will be revived under new names and the same may be said for yellow. A fire-red hue, to be jJaunched on the public as soon as the weather is cool enough to admit of it, has been christened “infernal.” All sorts of velvety materials will be popn- lar for bonnets during the latter part of the autumn seasun, heavy vetvets, plain and fig- ured piushes and tiowers in shaded velvet being amovg tne garnitures that promise the greatest popularity, wall-flowers, dahlias curysanthemums and dark veivety red orange-culored nast king the lead.

Mr. Moon felt the shock and was almost knocked down. He hastily turned and an appalling sight met his gaze. A huge tree which stood near the st.ck pen had been struck and was splintered, and areund the stump lay every hog and cow which he had but a moment : efore left, al! struck dead by the terrible bolt.

Poor Jack Cole, who was engineer of the ill-fated Arctic steamer Jeannette, and who is now confined at tie Government Insane Asylum, made a savage assault upona fel- low inmate yesterday. Jack was standing at the iron bars which enclose his ward yes- terday, when a lady, accompanied by a pret- ty little girl, came up tothe bars to see the unfurtunates who were pacring back and forth, muttering incvherent sentences and inaking strange motions with their hands. At the sight of the little girl with goiden tresses and sparkling blue eyes Jack’s face lighted up. Then, hanging his head fora inoment, memory seemed to carry the pvor fellow to his own bonnie daughter or to his old home, and his head benc svrrowfully to his breast. The next instant he was stand- ing erect gazing at the ehild while a big tear drop ran down his weather-beaten cheek and mingied with a good-natured smile. Then, as if by some magic power, his clear, tenor voice broke forth into a weird sea soug, beginning: We are bounding away, O’er the rolling main, And my bonnié sweet lass is behind. As he was beginning the second verse, the little girl, gazing into his face with a look of mute pleasure, one of the inmates of the ward, a tali, low-browed mai, who is con- sidered a dangerous subject, crept up be- hind Jack and saidto him: “If lonly hada knife and a rope | would fix that baby,” pointing to the little girl. The smile on Jacx’s face fled instantly and a louk of hate took its pace. Wheel:ng about he dealt the maniac a terrible blow with his fist, knocking him several yards, although he was nearly twice as large as ack. Then, before he could recover, Jack unbuckied his army waist belt, and, spring- ing upon the half falien man, dealt hima rapid series of blows with the heavy lead buckle attached to it, making severa! gash- es on his head, from which blood flowed freely. ‘The attendants, who were preparing dinner at the time, rushed up at this junct- ure and led the men away.

If there is one man on earth that John Sherman has got the right to detest and ab- hor, that man is Charles Foster, Not content with betraying Sherman at Chicago in 1880, Foster sent for the correspondents of the democratic papers and told them Sherman had run away from Cuicago leaving his hotel and whisky bills unpaid, aud that he (Fos- ter) had to liquidate them out of his own pri- vate funds. Even if this had been true, it was ungentlemaaly to make it public with- out the shadow of pretext or provocation. but being untrue, J was simply infamous; The fact is that Gov. Foster paid his own personal expenses at Chicago out of a fund that was raised and placed in his handsin behalf of Sherman’s candidacy. 1 know something about this myself. ‘The fund was not designed for any improper use, but to pay legitimate and proper expenditures. Foster claimed it as his own private fund, and attempted to blast the Senator's repu- tation by the falsehood he put in circulation.

GUERIN, Photographer, | LIBRARIES. A Glanceatthe Literary Collections of the World. - — — The First Free Library in Existence—Book- Gathering 3,000 Years Ago— American College Libraries—St. Louis Collections. Three thousand years ago the library of Osy- mandyes bore over its entrance the expressive inscription “The Dispensary of the Mind.” Thebes and its library are a heap of ruins, but the legend lives and isas applicable now as it was then. The next in chronological order are the clay libraries of Assvria, where the records were stamped or drawn on bricks or tiles and baked after the inscription was impressed. The first collection to which the term of a “Public library in clay” is applicable, was founded by Saradanapalus V. about the year 660 B. C., and was intended for public instruction. The dedication read as follows: “Palace of Sar- danapalus, King of the world, King of Assyria, to whom the God Nebo and the Goddess of Ourmit bave given ears to hear and eyes to see what is the foundation of government. They have re- vealed to the kings, my predecessors, the cuni- form writing. The manifestation of the God Nebo—of the God of enpreme intellect—I have written it upon tablets, I have signed it, I have put itin order, I bave placed it in the midst of my palace for the instruction of my subjects.’ IT Is CLAIMED that Pisistratus founded a library at Athens 526 B. ©., but of this there seems to be some doubt though he was evidently a liberal promoter 0 learning and took a sae, oy in possessing the works of the poets. The greatest ype library was founded by Ptolemy Soter, 390 b. C. Oid writers claim thatit contained 700,000 vol- umes, an exaggeration arising ne doubt from the custom of giving the name of volume to the chap- ters comprising any work. In the time of Cleo- patra the Hbrary suffered from fire, and Mark Anthony, to gratify his enchantress, repaired the lossby the large collection of parchments that he bad taken from Attalus, King of Per- gamus. In 339 it was assaulted and set on fire by the ‘Trinitarians, under the Jeadership of the orthodox Archbishop of Alex- andria. From this time the library commenced to decay till about the year 638, when Kalif Aimron turned out the keepers and closed its doors. The Christians said that he burned a good many of the old manuscripts, ana he very likely followed the example of the Archbishop. In fact, conquerors in those days showed a conscientious respect for their own religion by destroying all books that conflictea therewith. Tne Jews were preéminently a literary people. Esdrus alludes tothe library of Nehemiah, and the well known Wish of Job, that his enemy might write a book, so that he might get even With him by reviewinzy it, is the supposition. During the time of the Komans there was a library at Tiberias 165 B.C. The Romans, then masters of all Italy, commenced to gather bDOOoKs and torm libraries. Paulus Emilius, after defeat- ing Perseus, King of Macedon, seized his library and brouglit it to Rome, and when Sylla con- quered Mithridates, he transferred the Pontian mafuseripts to the banks of the Tiber, a proceed- ing that Lucullus repeated some years after. It was to Lucullus thatthe Romanus were in- debted tor the FIRST FREE PUBLIC LIBRARY. In those days a war was foliowed by the founda- tion of a library, and literature “took the govuds the gods provided.” Julius Cassar was meditating the establishment of a grand public library when the Republican leaders triumphed in the Senate chamber. Au- gustus formed Lwo large libraries, the Octavian and the Palaiime. This last held its treasures ubtii Pope Gregory the Great demolished it on ac- count of the large amount of Pagan literature thai it contained, n the time of Constantine the Roman libraries amounted to twenty-nine in num- ber. During the reizn of Trajan the Roman Em- pire had its greatest extent, and the Roman li- braries their greatest splendor. From that per- iod both gradually declined together. During ihe middle ages libraries were formed, and the relics of Greek and Roman civilization were preserved for later days. Ia the so-calied dark ages there were no great libraries in Euro p —Coustantinopie excepted—but the monastertea were publishing houses where the brotherhood worked with pens, ink and parchment under the direction of thelr abbots and friars. In this way many valuable manuscripts were saved from the ravages of the Huns and Goths. These collec- tions seldom numbered over seven or eight hun- dred manuscripts, but im the aggregate they formed a vast collection. Charlemague, on the suggesiion of Alcuin, gathered a number of Frauk- ish legends, FRANCE IS AHEAD of other nations in the uumber of ber libraries. The National Library at Paris isone of the three largest libraries in the world, the other two being the lmperial!l Library at St. Petersburg and the library of the British Museum. These three stand alone unrivaied in the extent, variety and value of their “contents. These three libraries are also distinct types of buok collecting on a large scaie, the first representing the result of ancient growth and gradual accumulation; the second of conquest and confiscation, and the third illustrates What may be done even under unfavo.abie circumstances, by earnest, sys- tematic, and well-directed energy,@ven within a limited time. Tue National Library of Paris has changed its name with the various governments through which France has passed, beiug successively known as the Royal, the National, the Imperial, then again the Royal, then a second time the National, then ihe Iniperial, and now once more the National Library. Founded by Charles V, ihe printed books in the coliection only numbered five thousand in the reign of Louis XIV. From that period on, the increase was steady, until the bloody era of the Revolution, when three of its chief librarians were guillotined, and ithe proposition was made by Heuriot to burn the enure collection as a monument of monarchy aud priestcratt,. The peril blew over, and the library gained by what at first threatened to be its de- struction. The librames of the suppressed mon- asteries, and the confiscated collections of the nobles who perished, or who emigrated, were turned over to it. Under succeeding Governments it prospered, and now contains about one million five hundred thousand volumes. France has six other large coliections—the Sorbonne, Arsenal, Mazarine, Institute, City, and Ste. Genevieve— the last containing about two hundred thousand volumes. THE VATICAN LIBRARY contains the finest collection of Oriental manu- scripts in the world,but the institution is managed in a spirit of excjusiveness, and it has never been accessibie to the people at large. At present it eontains about one hundred and twenty-five thousand volumes. Rome has, however, several other libraries containing about forty thousand MSS and half a million books. : The Royal Library of Copennagen contains 450,- 000 volumes and Germany is well supplied with books, all her universities having large horaries. The Royal Library of Berlin has 600,000 volumes and a splendid collection of oriental MSS. ‘The Royal Library of Munich has 500,000 books and MSS. The Lmperiai Library of Vienna contains about four hundred and twenty-five thousand volumes and there are hundreds of smaller libraries on the continent. The Imperial rome of St.Petersburg is worthy of special notice. t bas the unenviable dis- inction of owing its origin and growth to conquest and spoliation. Founded in 1714, the first collection consisted of books seized during the Czar Peter’s invasion of Courland The plunder of the Zaluski Library inereased it by over 275,000 volumes, and at the present day it — ae in the neighborhood of 1,000,000 Ss. THE LIBRARY OF THE BRITISH MUSEUM has over 1,100,000 yolumes by actual count, and the sum expended annually in purchases amounts to over $50,000, besides, under the Copyright Act, acopy of every book pubiished in the United Kingdom is sent to the Library. Liverpool and Manchester were the first English cities that in- augurated free libraries, and their success is very gratifying. At Liverpool only twenty-five books were lost from a number of over 300,000 issued in two years, and at Manchester the joss on 335.000 books lent was only about $5. This represents the average experience of those English libraries. and shows well for the honesty uf the reading puoplic. Harvard Coliege has the honor of having had the first public library in the Unitea States. It was founded in 1638, and endowed with gilts from Sir Kenelm Digby, Richard Baxter, Bishop Berke- an £ and many others of the mother country. These poy gilts were consumed by fire in grea, but the library was immediately rebuilt, and resent contains about 100,000 volumes. he library of Yale was founded by Berkeley, Bishop of Cloyne. The Columbia College library was founded in 1757, and how Contains 200,000 books, The Mercantile Liprary of New York contains about the same pumber, and is increasing at the rate of 8,000 tes per annum. THE FINEST IN THE UNITED 8&TATES is the Free City Library of Boston, Founded tn 1853, it has some eight or nine branches and over 350,000 books.

FLAD’S SPRINKLER. An Invention For Which the City Paid About 8800. Stored on the site of the old reservoir, at the head of Benton street, is an improved street sprinkler, for which the city paid about $800, without authorizing the expenditure of a single cent. ‘Phe inventor ahd maker'is Col. Flad, Pres- ident of the Board of Public Improvements. The machine is a queer contrivance, on wheels, which requires the attention of a man _ to operate and a horse to move it around. Three lengths of perforated piping sup- ply the moisture to the thirgi} ‘Street. A Post-DisPpATCH reporter was deputized this morning to look into the matter and applied to Col. Flad himself for the neéessary Inlorma- tion. “Yes,” said the Colonel, ‘I built the street sprinkier and it is now up at the oid reservoir. It cost about $500.” | “The city paid for it?” “Yes.” “Were you authorized to spend $800 on a street sprinkling machine?” “Not exactly. There was no ordinance provid- ing for it, but it was inthe line of my duty to make such improvements as I could, and this was one. If every head of a department were to walt for an ordinance to authorize.every expenditure he must make the Assembly wouid have lively times and things could be dene very fast. When the machine used for testing the streets Was built some time ago there was no authority from che Assembly for that expenditure, and there are other like instances.” “Then you built the sprinkleron your own hook?” “Yes, if you like to say so. I got the different parts from the different commissioners—wheels from one, old pipe from another, and so on. It was not alidone in a day or aa hour; it took some time, and the machine is mentioned in all my re- ports, where the progress made is spoken of at iength. I did nothing secretly; the Assembiy knew all about it.” “How long was it building?” “Two or three years.” “And how long was it used?” “Two seasons of five or six months each. The people in the northwestern part of the city ey asking for it, and I iinally used it for sprink- ling about fifteen blocks; but it did not pay. We got 25 cents a month from some and 50 cents from others. The first month we cot bDe- tween $400 or $500, but each succeeding mouth It dwindied down, and when we closed we were $5) or $60 behind vur expenses.” “Did the city derive any revenue fromit? Was any water license paid ?’ “We paid the first month’s license; that’s all.’ “How much?” “At the rate of $10 a block for about fifteen blocks.” “Has the sprinkler been used this year?” “No. There was no appropriation for it, 80 we did not use it.” Dr. Adamy Turkish Bath, 311 North Seventh street, between Olive and Locust; open daily until 9 p. m.
