A -GRAY-HAIRED DEFAULTER Skipped After a Service of Thirty-Sev- en Years with One Bank. } By Telegraph to the Post-Dispatch. VIDENCE, R. L, December 28.—This mo g the residents of this city will be surpmised by the announcement thatone of the “Best-known men in Rhode Island, a menmer of one of the proudest families in the State anda man, until very receotly, holding a very responsible place of trust, is a fugitive from justice as a defaulter. It was three mvaths ago that a rumor became current in business circles that Sam- uel ©C, Blodgett, treasurer of the Profaience Institution fur Sayings, the richegt and oldest bank in the State, had been “deposed fora breach of trust. The odgett’s removal was 30 ly enveioped in secresy a no proot 1 anance im office con! | tatY tastnventin’ when a leak in judicial cireles gave the thing away. Itis vow lvarned that bi ageit, who has Deen in the employ of the institution for thirty-seven years, and Was a most ac- er part of September, of this year, in a petty error in his accounts. The discrepancy was of very slight account, still there was sowe- thing about it WHICH DID NOT LOOK RIGHT rto the assistant treasurer, and he deemed it right to request the Finance Board to ask for an explanation, Blodyvett gave one which was unsatisfactory, and being pressed he confessed that the error was not of acci- dent. He was suspended from office that day and an investigation of his accounts was nad. In the course of the inquiry it was learned that the high-minded, respectabie white-headed treasurer had siuce 1866 and up to this fall engaged in a systein of petty stealings, the aggregate of which did not exceed $5,000. biodgett, protesting that this was the full extent of his peculations, was permitted to go unprosecated, mainly on ac- couut of bis excellent family and his long term of service, Withina few weeks after his removal the Finarce Board disc. vered, as they thought, that $1,000 in interest was overdue from the city of Bostun. They wrote to the authorities to make the collec- tion and were infurmed thatMr. Biedgett bad received BUT NEVER MADE A RECORD of the interest muney from the city of Bos- tun in $1,000 iustailuieuts, aod amvuunting al- together w §15,0U0. A wWarraut was then swern out by Col. Wm.

ReaDInGe, Pa., December 28.—A bridal trip of two fashionably dressed persons of Philadelphia was suddenly interrupted in this city last night, and their bridal chamber was the Chief of Police’s private office in the City Hall. Police Sergeant Kaucher was ad- vised by a telegram from Philade'phia, signed “Robert Lawrence,” to apprehend aud holda young couple supposed to be on the late train from Philadeiphia to Reading. The couple were found in the en jeyment of each other’s society in the frent car,and were on their way to the cual regions.

She said that she amg the telegram ordering their detention was from her father, who was opp sed tothe match. The father was advised of their apprehension, and he tele- graphed back asking whether they hada marriage certificate. They said no, but re- ferred the irate parent tothe Rev. Dr. Bar- row for the cverrob ration of their story. Fully twenty telegrams passed between them, the young people, with the officer, being in the telegraph office in this city, and the father in the PFhiladel- hia office. While the communication y wire was going on, every effort was made in Puiladelphia to see the Rev. Dr. Barrow, and finally, after waiting until 2:30 this morning, the last telegram arrived saying that the minister had not been tound and that the officer should hold the young peo, ie until to-day. The polite Sergeant once more escorted the pair to the police station, but decided NOT TO LOCK THEM UP inacell. ‘Their stury was believed, and they were given tne use of the private office uf Chief of Poiice Lewis, avjvining the Mayor’s reception room in the City Hall, above the police station.

They were daly in- formed, and they left the City Hall giad to able to proceed on their wedding trip. The bride said, “Of course papa objected to my ma:rying this gentieman of my choice, but mamma thought kiodly of it, and we de- terminod to marry. “PAPA WANTED TO KNOW whether we really bad been married before we leit the city and tuat is the cause he tele- graphed. lam really serry that this thing bas occurred, but it is to be hoped we shail not receive the adverse eriticisms of vur friends, 1 belweve.papa will be [fuily recun- ciled by the time we reach home.” _.- The young husband isa machinist. in the Baldwin Lucomot:ve Works, and says be is fully abie to support his bride, woose father is said t6'De Quite wel: off. - The “bride was determined, and said that if she had been iorcibiy returned to ber home by the officers she would have taken the frst ve¢easion to return tv her husband again.

STORMING A SANCTUARY, A Colored Minister aad His Followers Open Church With a Battering Kam, By Telegraph to the Post-Dispatch. Passaic, N. J., December 28.—The trouble in the First Methodist (colored) Union Church in this town is waxing warm, and it is ex- pected that before the difficulty terminates the Grand Jury will interfere. The suit which was taken before Justice Hudson was settied yesterday. Theceurt gave a judg- meut to Pastor James Blank and his friends against the alieged interlopers for $25 and costs. It was thought that the trouble would then be setti.d, and that the defeated faction would peacefully turn over the church edilice te the Rev. Mr. Blank aad his admirers. This, bow:ver, was not done, though both elements expressed themselves satistied with the verdict of the cvurt, and the oppusite laction signified their wiliixg- ness to give up the fight and retire. Not- withstanding this the emblem oi peace dues not stretcu its wings over the church door. Pastor Biank believed that the court's decis- ion gave him the right of possession of the chureh, and he at vuce proceeded to exercise that right. HE WAS SUPPORTED by a number oi his adierents. Armed with axes, chisels, brooms, pukers, prayer- books, razors, etc., the Rev, Air-gBiand and a dozen of his followers marched up Oak street last evening. As they exyected, they found the ehurch doors sectred. After a brief consultation the smali body of colored | Curistians decided to force the door open. battering-ram piaced in position, After half an hour’s work the staples were pulled out and the lock removed. The pastorand his friends then marched up the aisle singing jubiiee songs. Afier more singing and prayers a new lock was placed on the door, aud the storming party lett, feeling that the church was secured against the opposite element. A number of the opposing faction, including Trustee Samuel Tomson, went to Paterson to-day, where they cousulted with Lawyer Coddington. They next visited the ottice of Justice of the Peace Weiss, and ‘Trustee Tomson SWORE OUT A WARRANT for the arrest of Pastor Bank. Trustee Tomsen was defendant in the — _— Justice Hudsun, in which the pas cored a vietory. Secretary Tomsenin hig appii- cation to Justice Weiss alleged that the church was buiit ag, Racer colored people of Passaic, and that Pastor Biank bad nat bern sent to the church by any one having authority, nor had he been calied. As Mr. Biank did not preach reguiarly, a resolution was dat a reguiar meeting of the church, requesting him te vacate pulpit. The warrant, which was p in the bands of a constable, charges Mr. Biank with breaking open the dvur stealing @ lock, valued at iifty cents. FP r Biank was ar- rested yesterdny, and Mr, G. Berg gave bal: for his appearance, Pasier Biank declares most_empnaticalily tnat he will preach in the First Methodist Union Church next Sunday. : FIRES. At Wiimiagton, Del.

ALBANY, N. Y., December 23.—A brief cable dispatch received here by S. O. Shep- ard announces that Col. Henry B. Rathbene had killed his wife at Hanover, Germany, and then attempted tocommit suicide. A later dispatch states that Col. Rathbene was dying, and that Miss Louise Har- ris of this city, who was with the Rathbenes, escaped unhurt, aid that the children are aisa safe. Col. Wom. Harris of Cleveland, a brother of Mrs. Rathbonue, sailed for Europe yesterday, and the relatives of the parties in this city, who are overwhelmed by the report of the mur- der, are anxiously awaiting the details of the atfair. Col. and Mrs Rathbone are native Americans. He wa: the second son of the late J. L. Rathbone, who was a merchant aid politician of note forty years. ago, and a cousin of Gen. Joha F. Rathbone and Mr. Lewis Rathbone. MRS. RATHBONE WAS adaughter of the late Judge Ira Harris, formeriy United States Senater trom New York, and a niece of Hamilton Harris. Mrs. J. L. Rathbune, after the death of her bus- band, married Judge Harris. Hersonand Miss Clara Harris were frequently in each other’s company, especially duriug Senator Harris’ stay in Washington, and on Jnly 1, 1867, were married. Mrs. Rathbone was the favorite daughter of Judge Harris. She was acultured and brilliant woman, who was a great favoritein the society of Washing- ton and other cities where she resided. Gol. Rathbone was a man subject to violent outbursts of temper... He was devoted to his wife, and, in recent years, exhibited a spirit of jealousy which maniiested itself whenever any gentleman even approached her. This trait grew on him and developed to such an extent that some of his friends considered him a menoinaniac on the subject. IT IS SURMISED THAT in one of these jealous fits, and while tempo. rarily insane, he committed the crime. As he always carried a revolver, it is thought that the murder and attempted suicide were done by shooting. This theory seems to be sustained by the statement in the dispatch that Miss Harris and the children escaped unharmed. Col. and Mrs. Rathb \ne, accompanied by Miss Harrts, sailed fer En- repe last fall and interded to spead some time abroad fur the education of their chil- dren, two sons, the older 13 years of age and a daughter aged 7 years, They have not lived in Albany for any time since their marriage. Col. Rathbone and Miss Harris were in the bex with Presideat Linevin at Ford’s Theater iu Washington on the’ mem- vrab e night in-1865 when BOOTH ASSASSINATED THE PRESIDENT. The fvuiiowing are the parucujars of Col, Ratnbone’s partin the event. Standing im the doorway, after a basty g arnee at the in- terior, Booth took a smali derringer pistol tn ohe baud, holding at the same time a double- edged d rin the others he delibérately aimed at Mr. Lincvin, who im: an, arm chair with his back to Did. here.

A number of prominent citizens, who had been summoned as witnesses for Qampbelil, were also locked out, but after an hour's wait, were excused until] 10a.m, tedav. When the trial opened, Mr. Chandler read the affidavit of John W. Campbell, objecting .to Lutz and Caruth sitting on the case, because they were prejudiced and because they had previously preferred the same charges whieb were now brought by Mr. MeKntire. The ob- ection Was promptly overruled, Caruth, Lutz and vod ward voting agilnat entertaining it. Next. Mr. Chandler prevented a demurrer to the charges, on the ground that they were vague and uncertain, that they aileged no offenses known to the statute of the poles rules, ete. The demur- rer went the wou, ¢ Campbell's affidavit and by the same vote. E. H. Tobias. who swore that he Was 4 reporter, Was then introduced as the first witness. He testified that Campbell had told him, on the condition that he would not publish the m:tter, thatthe resignations of Caruth agd Luiz were eld by Joseph H, McEntire. The interview with Cam ilwok place on the west steps of the Four Courts. He was sure that Cainpbell had no tou’ timthat Kerwin had said these things, but that the Chief had yolunteered this information himself. On . cross-examination wituess was skead whetherhe had nvetleft the Republican on accoul of an offense, which was meuiioned, but the question was opjected to and the ohjee- tion sustained by a vote of three to two, Judge JecKo. the next witness, told of the meeting be- tween Chief Campbell and Lutz. on the Four Courts steps, on the day Campbell was first re- moved, waen the Chief said he would ge away before he put a Knife inte Lutz. Witness did not remember that Uampvdell had said disresvectful things of Governor Crittenden on that occasion. Wm. R. Faulkeoer next told the ald story haw Campbdeil had said that he wuuid give $300 to be back in bis captaincy. The trial was then adjourned until 7 p.m. At that time Jehan *Robinaon, a shorthand reporter, was put on the sland to testify to Campbell’s evi- dence tn the oonapiracy case. Mr, Joseph G. Lodge tollowed him on the stand. to teli about Campbe I's part in preparing the evi- dence in the conspiracy trial. He stated that Campbell had come tv his office only afier he bad asked him four times todo so. The Chief never volunteered a single statement prepruicial to the de‘endants, inany way.

He never told anyone that Campbell, in making bis startling statemenis cou- eerninog ibe resignations, had cited Dan Kerwin as uuthority for the statement, Mr. Joseph G.

Tobias saiad he didy’t know how the impression gained, as Campbell had only told him what Kerwin said about the resignations. Mr. Lodge said thathe bad no feeling that he knew of in the matter, waless he was anoconscious- y prejudiced threugt his friendship to Campbell. The Witness bad been coynsellu the conspiracy case, but all his actions were. purely profes- sioual.

MISS BOND AGAIN. The Victim of the Taylorville Out- rage on the Witness Stand, She Emphatical’y Deni-s Having Ever Seid That She Did Not Know Certainly Who Committed the Crime—Other Witnesses. By Telegranpn to the Post-Dispatch. Hriisporo, Iti., December 28—Miss Cora Hart was the first witness called this morning. She said that Emina Bona worea long, light pulonaise the day of the outrage. The material was something jike lawn. IONE PETTUS THEN TESTIFIED that Miss Bond, on the night she came to their house, after the outrage, had on a light dress of thin material. GEORGE PETTUS, the next witness, then testified that he saw ‘John Montgomery on the eveniag of the out- rage on the road home in a wagon with: his wife and children, between sundown and dark. The next day the witness was at the echool-house with others, and later in the day was at Grove City, where the crowd was. John Montgomery sent a mes- sage by him to Pettus that a warrant was out for his arrest, and that he had better come to Grove City. The witness said he was with Swick and Hein- | Jein that night and heard Heinlein say to Leethat if be knew anything about the others he bad better give them away. Lee said be didn’t know anything. Judge Thornton of the defense asked the court reporter to read from SWICK’S TESTIMONY. poporser read the question and answer janes Miss Bond’s undergarments; the shape and cuiofthem. Itseems thatat the pre- liminary trial Swick swore that he asked Lee Petins about the pattern of a certain garment, and that be gave it. In his testi- mony at this trial Swick ~ald Lee Pcttus dia not auswer him. The reading of Swick’'s testimony proved that Swick swore falsely either at the preliminary trial or at this trial. Otber parts of Swick’s testimony was gone over and com)ared with his previous testi- mony to Swick’s discredit. ein .ein’s testimony was impeached in this way also. EMMA TESTIFIES AGAIN. The defense rested their case at 10:15 o'clock this morning. Prosecuting Attorney Drenuan then cailed witnesses in rebuttal, the first witness being Miss Emma Bond, the victim of the outrage. Whiie Mr. Bond went to the house for his daughter tne court- room rapidiy filled up. Au air of ex- tion marked the faces of all.

Miss Bond in the meantime ‘kept ber restless- looking eyes on the flour. Her face was quite occasivnaliy nervous shoadders frame. _Her hands twitebed nerv- ously at dress, throat and face. Sho was attirea in a biack dress, a gray dolman trim- med with plush, and acrimson turban with a handsume | pag The hair was not bang- ed, but madeup in little rings across the eed ‘ . Her appearance was that of A PLAIN COUNTRY GIRL who has had refinement and good breeding. Miss Bond’ ‘s face is pointed, but her form is full and plump. Her hbair is dark and the eyes a weak gray biue. While Judge Thornton urged his objection Miss Bond shifted ber position and trembied vio- lently under the stare of hundreds of eyes in the court-room. The spectators lined the walls and were standing on the seats in the rear of the rovuin. RGUMENTS ON THE ADMISSABILITY — of the questivn lasted an bour. Judge Phil- lips overruled theobjections.

New Yoru, December 23.—“An African Jour- ney,” a comic opera in three acts; the libretio by Genee and West, and music by Franz Von Suppe, was produced for the first time in this eountry ag the Tir Theater last evening. The work was | by a jarge audience, with numerous dem- onsirations of delight, and will doubtiess piease the amusement-seekers of the East side for some timle to come. Its plot is as simple as a plot can well be, put the various incidents which are Intro- duced are Manazed with skill, and are suflicieutly “amusing.

Pursuant to a call of the Doard of directors of the Merchants’ Exchange, the members of the Exchange met at noon to-day to cunsider the question of tendering the National Democratic Committee the use of their hall for the conven- tion to be beid in June. President Ewald called the meeting to order, and said that at a meeting of uhe board of directors a resolution was passed to recommend tothe members of the Exchaage Lue propriety of extending the use of their ball to the members of the next National Dem- ocratie Convention, im the event of the Natjoual Democratic Committee deciding upon St, Louis asthe place fer the convention to be held. The Bourd of Divectors were unanimousiy in favor of granting the privilege, but in order to give weight to the matter they deemed it advisable to submit the prepesitidh te the members in a body and obtain a vote from them upon it. That was the object of the present pees and the questi ‘was Open tor discussion. Col. D. P. Grier th made a motion to the above effect, which was seconded by Mr. Jerome Hill. Col. Grier then stepped tothe frontof the platform aud said ihat it might seem strange that he, an acknowledged Republican, skouid make the motion to grant the use of their hall to a Demwcratic Convention. He considered the Democratic party a strong and powerful body, and he had tee interests of St. Loulgs two much at beart to be blinded by any partisan prejudice in determining so important a question as the one now before them. The convention would bring to St. Louis representative men trom ali over the country, and be hoped that every Republican within the sound of his voice would consider the interests of the city and her merchants aud vote favorably upon the motion. Mr. Web Samuel next took the stand, and saia he heartily seconded ail that had been said by Col. Grier, St. Louis wanted the next National Democratic Convention to be held in this city, and her merchants Wanted to see the pext President of the United Siates nominated upon the floor of ber Exchange. He trusted every Democrat and every Republican would vote for the resolu- tion. When referring to the next President, Mr. Samuel was interrupted by long and coniigued applause. President Ewald put the question, and the motion was Unanimously carried. The meet- ing then adjourved. For Ten Daya, We offer Curtains and U pholstery Goods at 40 per eent discount. SCARRITT CARPET COMPANY, 607 North Fourth street. “Where's the Merrie Crewe?” “The boys had better wear their liven dusters to-morrow, but for goodness’ sakes don’t say I told you.” This from aprominent member of for Cox of bis county | at the Merchants’ Exchange Merrie Crewe, caused the reporter to make some inquiries regarding ihe last day of the yearon ’Change. It was learned thatthe Merrie Crewe is still in existence, but those members who were seen discisimed auy idea of turning the Exchange into acircus. They suid that business would go on as usual, though and herethe speaker winked, there might bea few pleasant interruptions to trade ad traffic. The Exchange authorities do not believe there willbe any “violent trivolities” indulged in by the members. A few hats may leave their own- ers’ beads withoui the cousent of the wearer, but flour throwing will be sat down upon, and any member seen engaged in this pleasant pastime will be prosecuted under the rules and ptinished severely. There seems to be po doubt, however, but that the Exchange will wiad up the old year with more of fun and frolic than business.

It is cailed the committee on agitation. The following was adopted: . Wuereas, The Legislature of Ohio at its last session enacted a certain law known as the Scott law, which is in direct violation of the wise provistons of the Constitution of Vhio, derogatory to the business interests of a large class of persons, residents of Onio, engaged in mercantile pursuits, and WHEREAS, It is the opinion of all un- biased and unprejudiced citizens of Ohio that the tratiie in malt, vinous and spirituous liq- uors sheuld not be prohibited, as was most emphatically expressed by them through their baliots on the second-Tuesday of Ocio- ber last, and WHEREAS, Said Scott law was enacted for the purpose of destroying and proiiubiting such traffic, therefore, Resolved, That, as citi zens of Ohio en- gaged in the traffic in malt, vinous and spiritueus iiquors, we in con- vention assembled are of the opinion that said Scott jaw is unconstitutional and unjust, | and therefore respectfuily ask of the coming | Legisiature the enactment of a judicious and constitutional law, and thereby the repeal of the Scott law. “EVERYTHING OFF.” Paddy Ryan Telegraphs That He will Not Meet Sullivan at ’Frisco. Cuicaco, December 28.—Paddy Ryan, who was expected to meet Sullivan in San Francisco next month, left for Toledo unex- pectedly two days ago, and late last night | telegraphed here: “I bave to throw up| everything at present.” Ryan assigned as a cause that his mother was very sick. lar- | son Davies, who has been managing Ryan’s , affairs, had arranged for Paddy’s appearance in Minneapolis. St. Paul, and points on the | Northern Pacitic Road in sparring exhibi- | tions on the way toSan Francisco. On re- | ceipt of Ryan’s telegram Davies wired him to the effect that his friends believed he was showing the white feather, and was afraid | to meet Suilivan. Ryan replied that ne| would return to Chicago to-day, and later telegraphed everything was “‘oif,” inciuding} bis meeting with Sullivan. A ‘Voledo tele- gram says Ryan’s mother is. not seriously ill, and that the truth is Ryan, in his recent friendty bouts with Sheriff and. Slade, has shown they were better men, and he bas no show with Sullivan, and consequently does not care to meet him. An effort will still be wade to keep the Suliivan watch on. —_— ——— BUFFALO. -_—_—_—_— McBRIDE OF He is a Crank Whose nly Desire is to Gain Notoriety. Burra.o, N. Y., December 28.—John J.

AGLUTTED MARKET Will Necessitate the Closing of the Vul- can Mills, 7 | _ ‘The report having reached the city that the Vulean fron Mills of (Carondelet are about to close down for perhaps ninety days, a Post-Dispaten reporter this morning sought out Mr. Ethan A. Hitcheock, presi- dent of the corporation, and interrogated him concerning the eondition of affairs which had brought about such a result, Following is the conversation which ensued between Mr. Hitcheeck and the reporter: “Can you give meany items to-day, Mr. Hitchcock, about the condition of the steal rail market?” “No, nothing very special beyond the fact that I suppose you know we contemplate closing our mill early ip January.” “It has been so rumored for some time past; | do not think it has been generally understood to be the fact that you Would do so. Why do you close?” ‘Simply because there is nething te do but to apply the only remedy left forthe exist- ing state of affairs, which is te reduce pro- duction, thejpresent producing cs tyjol the thirteen miils in the country being about 30 per cent. in excess of the present demasd.”’ _“Whatis the presnt capacity ef the mills in the country, and how many are there?”’ “There are thirteen mills, with a capacity of a million and a half tens, whieh will be reduced by the stoppage of five miils to about one imiliion tons; which, in turn, wili represent the probable demand until confi- dence is restored, business revives, and new construction is undertaken.” “What are the names of these mills?”’ “They are the Cleveland Railing Mill; one of the North Chicago Company’s mills; the Union Iron and Sieel Company’s mill at Chicago; the Pittsburg Bessemer mill, owned now by Messrs. Carnegie Brothers, and the fifth will be our mull.” “Why will the stoppage of these mills remedy the evii?” | have just stated that the evil can only be remedied by reducing the over production, that being the cause of all the trouble; and the sooner the remedy isapplied the sooner will we restore such a seale vf prices as will justify the miils in ranning.” “What is the present rails?” ; “Well, $35 has been of late the current quo_ation for delivery at Chicago, some of the Eastern milis having made sales on that basis, which of course would leave them vomvy here between $32 and $33 at their milis.”’ “Is it possible that there is any profit in such prices ?” “Some of the mills claim they can make rails at these figures, though I don’t thiak they would be willing to fill up for the year on such a basis; but, of course, as lung as the mills are willing to sell at tbese figures they cannot expect the railroad companies to pay them more.” Me 2 it is a question of supply and de- mand?’ ‘*That is it precisely; and by reducing the supply there is but little doubt there will demand enough to strengthen prices.” “When do you expect such results?’ “Much depends upon the conditions of trade generally after the turn of the new year. There is certainly nu lack of money in the country, what ls most wanting is cou- fidence in business eircles. With thig re- stored plenty of money ean be found for all legitimate enterprises, and there will doubt- less be an inereased demand for ralis wheo buyers find thatthe production has been resiricted and the 'owest prices have been reached.” ‘Is this reduced production the résult of any combination among the mills?” “Nothing of the kind. Itis simply the carrying out of a sensible business policy.” “What departments at the Vulcan will be stopped ?” “Ouly the converting, blooming and rail departments; we shall continue making pig iron at our furnaces, and shall run our coal price of steel | and ore departments as usual.’”’ “IT thought it was understoed that you had contracts tor rails for delivery next year; if so, what will you do with them?” “Wedid have some contracts for next year; but not enough to do more than run singie turn, which all manufacturers know wouid involve extra cost in production; and having an opportunity to exchange these contracts for some large ore contracts, we concluded it was advisable to do so,” “You expect, then, that the stoppage will only be temporary?” ‘That is my expectation, but of course, as before stated, that again depends upon the ourse of business in the spring.” ‘How about the men?’ “That is the most unpleasant part of the business; but the directors of the company are simply trustees for the sharehoiders, and itis their duty to protect the capital com- mitted to their charge. The stoppage, of course, will work a temporary incosven- jencé to many of our employes, but | fee! sat- isfied they will ultimately see that it will be for their interest to have the company adopt a line ef policy which will soonest restere such a scale of prices as will secure to them reguiar and steady employment, We havea most excellent set of meu at the mill; in faet eouid not have a better set, and | need hard- ly say we shalido allin our power to make the burden upgn them as light as possible.” “ROUGH ON TOOTHACHE,” instant relief.

If any one were inclined to doubt the prosperity of the times and the enormous in crease in trade among St. Louis merchants wholesale and retail, he should bave strolled into some of their establishments during the past week. The crowds that poured in and out of the large retail houses Jaat Friday, Saturday and Monday were simply unpre- cedented in numbers in the histery of St. Louis’ retail trade, Many of the houses found it difficult and others absolutely impossible to meet the rush, and, notwithstanding their stocks Were larger, bandsomer and more costly than any they have ever earried during the holiday season, many Of their customers were unavoidably disappointed in going late and not finding just what they desired. This was seldum the case, but the fact that it could voceur at all in some of our largest retail houses, where tremendous stocks are earried, is the surest evidence that the sales were unprecedentedly ares. At Serugas, Vandervoort & st different departinents Were crow from morning eee night. se last SAT pan 4 said Mr. Scruggs, “our sales aggregated more single day since the house was estabjish J never saw the people so anxious and willing to purchase. Our sales for December will be very large.” The retail clonping houses and gentiemen’s furnishing stores did a Sons de. From the reports of the Gelden n- pvey, Polack anc other houses there a sufficient quantity of men’s and boys’ es sold to “rig out” one quarter of the city. The capacity and facilities of the Wm. Barr Dry Goods Com were never s0 fully tested as during past week. From the bottom to the ‘top @ t wasa ” ng —_— of Bumantty” from p he age 6 morning a c igh The fact this setablidhment is'a h t everything one pany were not only surprising! from 50 to 100 cent, larger than i hin d shing de ment, which has recently n retitted ne aa enlarged, were fully 75 per cent larger last year, The Carpet Com although not a “holiday house,”’ as Mr. nard says, had very heavy sales during the past month and maintained the vol- ume of trade as during the fall months, ._.. The sale of furniture at Guernsey’s and Scarritt’s was about the sa except that the retail trade at both places inereased enormously of late. Mr. Parker, at the Sear- ritt Furniturd Company, said: “We had a delightful Christmas trade. The demand now is for highly artistic furniture, and the style and finish of seme of our articles sur- pass anything we have ever had in stock.” The Mermod & Jaceard Jewelry Company did a tremendous business, especially in the sale of diamonds. Their magnificent stock in this line was continually surrounded by an aduiiring crowd, and the heavy sales in the High Art department clearly indicated the rapidly increasiug desire on the part St. Louisans to decorate their houses wi the rich novelties now offered them in this ine, In short, throughout the entire city, in almost every braneh of trade, there was a large and decided increase in the amount of goods sold. Despite freight discriminations and other preferences shown neighboring cities by the railroads, it is safe to predics that St. Louis did a proportienately larzet holiday trade than any city in the West.

There have been rumors now and then to the effect that the glass manufactories in the city were to start up, but no sueh action has ever been taken by the managers. The man- ufactories, after the summer vacation, did not start up as usual on September 1, owing to over-production and other causes, and the blowers have been idle all winter. In order to ascertaia the exact condition af affairs, a Post-DISPATCH reporter interviewed sev- eral gentiemen connected with the manu- facturing companies. The companies have determined upon several conditiongy under which they will resume worn, Tuey de- mand 10 cent reduction from the present printed list; they demand control of the number of apprentices, delivery of ware at the packing-house, ladiing of glass and the grinding of ali blow-over bottles before pay- ment. The conce@sioa of all of these cendi- tiuns by the blowers would ameunt to about 20 per cent reduction frum tne printed list. ‘The manufacturers think the cenditions very fair, because they still enable blewers to make from $450 to $5a day, much higher pay than other skilied labor commands, and fully as much as the biowers get in the East, and mere than ia any other cenntry; and they deciare that they are necessary to the existence of ths business, The paasbee of men thrown out of employment by the stoppage of the works amount#to 600 in the city, and about 900 iacluding Aiton. The pay rolls average fullv $25,000 a month. THE want columns of the Post-DisPaTor reach all classes. Twenty words for ten cents is the rate. A BELATED SrEAMER, The Celtic Overdue at Queenstown Since Last Monday—Probable Cause, New York, December 28 —The agent here of the White Star steamship Celtic, New York December 15 for Liverpool, and has not yet reached Queenstown, says the vessel was due in the latter port Monday morning, and the probable cause of her non-arrival is an accident to her machinery. He feeis no anxiety for her safety, as the Celtic is a staunch ship. Five years ago she broke down at sea and proceeded under sail, reach- ing a speed of thirteen knots. This rate can- not be expected now, as the winds have lately been unfavorable for east-bound ves- sels. He further says the Celtic may have picked up a wreck, andis proceeding slowly with it in tow.
