How Russell Sage Made Good @ Million Dollar Decline, The Wall Street Man With the Largest Amount of Ready Cash — “Puts,” “Calls” and “Straddles.” | By Telegraph to the Post-Dispatch. New York, January 4—It was a black Thursday for Russell Sage yesterday. The great “put,” “call” and “straddle” broker, it was said, was very vexed, and “put” brok- ers called upon him faster than he could sign checks. Union Pacific stock, of which he was reported to have held from 150,000 to 200,000 shares, had taken a tumble, and he was said to be temporarily a loserin the neighberhoed of a miliien of dollars.

Remarkable Decline inthe Price of the North River Construction Company. By Telegraph to the Pest-Dispatcn. New Yoru, January 4—There has been remarkable activity im the stock ef the North River Construction Company during the past few days, anda tremendous decline in the prices. Less than a yearago the stock was quoted at 128. On Wednesday it was selling as low as 19. Yesterday there was an advance tu 29%, but this was soon followed by anether break, and the closing sale was made at 21. About two weeks ago the stock was selling at 45. As the total capital ef the company is $10,000,000 there has been a de- preciation in the vaiue of the stock since the — oe 128 less than a year age of $10,900,- e DEPRECIATION IN VALUE the last two weeks amounts te $2,100,- attend the charity ball last evening, but pre- ferred to while away their hours ef recrea- tion at the Windsor.

You see it has been raided so often that it is a wonder that the entire bot- tom has not been knecked from under it, Another thing which has caused it to depress, the report that itis losing half a million a year and the fact that so many different Westera debtedness of nearly $50,000,000, of which, lseee brokers who have been bitten by its stock, are sinking to ferce the paywedt.

In my opinion Russeii Sage wishes he bad gotten, rid of his stock long ago.” Mr. George Acfionnset. of the broker firn of Ww.

It is rather curious, and a ct not especially pleasant to record, that ut one-third of the members enjoy that uisite for accomplished law-makers, a collegiate education. Out of the 401 mem- ee. rs less than 150 are graduates of any col- rg A larger proportion of the Southern ». members are graduates than of the Northern » men. Of the Southern members nearly 40 S per cent are graduates, while in the North, Qs an aggregate, the proportion ts little vver 30 per cent. Even boasted New England oniy sends 60 per cent of graduates, and Massachusetts but 58 per cent, while New York has 40 percent, Inthe Senate a little over 40 per cent are graduates, hile there are nearly 200 new mem- bers, the aggregated iegisiative experi- ence of even this Congress is some- thing quite wonderful when taken in such form. There are many members who have seen as high as ten years in Congress, in one branch or the other, nnd a few who have MORE THAN DOUBLED THAT. > Randall is entering upon his twenty-first year in the House, Cox has twenty-one years there already, and Kelly iwenty-two. Ip tne nate, Anthony, Dawes and Sherman boast twenty-six years in Congress apiece, part of each having been in the House before go- ing to the Senate, while Morrill leads with twenty-eight vears service. The aggregate number of years in Congress of the wembers ef the Senate is 571, while the abgregate gorvice of the liouse miemDers is over 800 years, making a total of Cuongres- sional experience in tie House and Senate of jy 1,400 years. Besides this fully half of @ members have served in State Legisla- tures beiore coming to Congress, and their aaeregate experience there has been nearly | years, making a grand total of legislative experience in both branches of Congress of of 2,000 years. And yet they talk of this as a.“new Congress,” and one with little legis- oe _ jative experiance to guide it. Itis very easy and sounds very nice to » taik about the North remembering her sol- ders, but the fact is that so far as Congress the North does not remember her heroes with anything like the affection that the - South does. Of the Southern members of the House over 40 per cent were in the Con- federate army. Wiile among tiie Northern “members only 25 per cent were in the Union om ‘army. In the Senate the difference is still ; ‘ re notable, the percentage of Southern | . Kountz, in which the latter severely de- | nounced the plaintiff. TRADE AND LABOR. A Number of Idle Men—Plenty at $1 10 Per Day. ' Pa., January 4.—The number of idle men in the city at present is unusual- ly iarge, owing to the glassmen’s strike and the depression in the iron and coal trade. An advertisement in a labor paper on Wednesday for twenty coal miners elicited 300 responses in twenty-four hours. A prominent labor leader elaimed to-day that if he advertised for 1,000 men to work on the streets for $1 10 per day, he would have 5,000 applicants inside of a week. Reports, how- ever, from the various iron mills in the city, show a better condition of things than was anticipated a month ago. Nearly all the iron and stee! mills are now running, with fair prospects of an increase in business dur- ing the present month. The Republic Iron Works on the south side, shut down for some time on account of a break, will start Mon- day with plenty of business te keep them aning ateadily. Y Phe Biack Diamond Steel Works are about to jay a train of the largest rolls in the world, while severaf other miils are now working a double turn. There seems to be a growing demand for iron, and manufacturers are daily growing more hope- ful.. Business is increasing and the outlook is more encouraging. Lake Superior Ore Trade. PirrepurG, January 4—A_ gentieman from Cieveland, who is in the city, says the Lake Superior ore trade is in worse condi- tlon than for twelve or fifteen vears. Seven out of every ten mines in the region are idle, and these running are owned by the largest and wealthiest ;corporations, who are re- strieting output. Atleast one half of the ore of the best quality is selling at Cleveland at &6 per ton, which is lower than for many years. At this price there is only a profit of fifty cents a ton. A Bank Failure.

It is purported to be signed by Luskey, Barton’s brother-in-law, and payable to Barton, It is said also that a few days ago Barton presented a check for $175, signed by David Windsor of Alexandria, but the sig- nature was so piainiy a forgery that the cashier refused to pay it.”” The full extent of the fraudulent paper he has set afloat is nos yet known. Sarton is still missing. Kobbe’s Accomplice, New York, January 4.—John Van Ars- dale, charged with being an accomplice of E. H.

Van Arsdale, it is charged, assisted Kobbe to invest a large portion of the proceeds of the forged drafts in Government bonds and other secur- ities, which were deposited in his name in this city, and which have been recovered. The firm has begun suit to recover from Van Arsdale $8,500, which itis alleged he received from Kobbe., A Bond Forger: New Yorn, January 4.—Dr. George A.

A caucus of the members of the Merchants’ Exchange for the purpose of nominating officers. of the Exchange for the ensuing year was called to order by President Ewa'd at3 o’clock this afternoon. There was a very large attendance, and the excitement was so intense at the opening of the eaucus that it was quite awhile oefore order could be restored. There were little cliques gathered here and there about the floor excitedly diseussing the merits of the respective candidates and boastfylly vol- unteering to back up their ‘‘man,” provided they could get sufficient odds. e main interest, of course, centers in the presidency. There was never before an election in whie the chances of two candidates were considered so equal, and yet there was so little betting on the result, Each side is afraid of the other, and neither seems will- ing to bet even money on their candidate, he nomination of Francis or Gaiennie by the caucus this afternoon will throw the odds in their favor, and_probably provoke the liveliest betting the Exchange has seen for some time. A circular has been is- sued by the Francis men, indorsing him as a candidate and recommending him in the most eulogistic terms to the members genarelly, it is a very strong document and 1s signed by some of the most prominent and influential men on-’Change, Among them : KE. O. Sganard, Web M. Samuel, D. P, thas. F, Orthwein, Ellis Wain- D. ¥. Dyer John N, . KR. P. Tansey, Henry ©, aar- stick, Theo. G. Meter, and Fred Von Phul, Which of the two candidates will receive the nomination by the caucus is questionable. Judging from the expressions heard here and there, on and off tHe floor of the. Exchange, one would be led toinfer that the nomina- tion of Francis was a foregone conclusion. But many of Gaieunie’s supporters are quiet, conservative workers, who keep their coun- sei to. themselves, and may probably surprise the other side by their real force and strength when the vote is finally taken, The opposition caucus will meet to-morrow afternoon and the candidate wo fails to secure the nomi- nation this afternoon will be nominated then, and the warfare of the rival parties will continue to be waged unremittingly until Tuesday, the 9th inst., when one of them must be elected president of the Ex- change. ¥ off on all overcoats at Famous.” Wilson’s “Plant.” , John Wilson, the young darkey who stole $2,000 from old man Peats, near Furguson Station, was locked up last night by De- tective Desmond, He did not know how much he had spent, but this afternoon started to Lowell, where he said a woman had the larger portion of the money in keep- ing for him, Detective Desmond accom- panied him, ; ¥, off on all overcoats at “Famous,” Their Traveling Man Done It.

The Case Reaching its Close—Argu- ments of Counsel—Order of Speakers. Counsel in the Peck-Chouteau case com- menced their argument this morning, R, Graham Frost for the defendant, John M. Glover, leading off.. Mr, Frost will be fol- lowed by Judge Lindley for the plaintiff. These two speakers will oecupy the session to-day. To-merrow morning Mr. Shields will address the jury on behalf of the defendant Charles P. Chouteau, and Frank J. Bowman of counsel for the plaintiff will close the case. ‘The instructions of the court to the jury were read this morning. They are exceedingly lengthy. In his address to the jury this morning Mr. Frost dwelt with much emphasis uponthe fact that no eyi- dence had been adduced at the trial te show tbat Mr. Glover had acted maliciously in ac- cepting employment in his capacity as an at- torney to prosecute Mr, Peck; he had acted simply in his professionai capacity. It is the practice of attorneys to ac- employment from clients, that how _ they make a livelihood, Mr, Frust said the jury ought to find for the defendants upon the evidence and under the instructions of the court, and in the interests of public justice. “if,” said he, “every man whois indicted for’ an offense, and who is subsequentiy acquitted, can sue the Grand Jury orany member of the Grand Jury which indicts him, then the Star Route de- fendants can sue the Government and the counsel for the prosecution for $10,000,000 for malicious prosecution, and John Mont- gomery, Clementiand Pettus can bring an action against Miss Bond and her father and ee counsel who prosecuted them at Hills- ro Mr. Frost insisted that there was no evi- dence that Mr. Chouteau had participated actively in the procuremerit of the indict- ment against Mr. Peck; none, in fact, that he had voted in the grand. room for finding the indictment. The fact that he dis- liked Mr, Peck did not imply malice on his part against Mr. Meck. | — ABOUT TOWN.

The river is likely to be closed very soon. **The temperature has falien lower to-day than at any time during the winter,” re- marked Sergeant Weber this morning, and he wheeled his chair around in the direction of the thermometer. ‘In fact, this is the coldest wave that has struck the United States this winter.

I have dis- covered that when the direction of the wind, however, is fram a direction south of the north face of the dome, the thermometers read a few degrees too high. The cause of this error was unknown tu me until the day before yesterday, when I found it was due to the warm air coming up from the lower. floors into thedome. I remedied the matter, however, yesterday, the readings being cor- rect this murning. y | THE RAILROADS, their time to-day, and many of +t were reported from two to five hours Jate.

Hunter and Ben Jen- kins, the popular steamboat agent, a Post- DisPATCH reporter was reminded of the similarity of the present winter and that of 1875. Said Capt. Jenkins: ‘Don’t you recollect whata pretty winter that was? Nocold weather to speak of un- til the 2d day of January, Then it turned cold in earnest, and on the night of January 4!’ the river was frozen over, The Colorado was the first boat to arrive; she got in on the morning of the 2d, andit was just beginning to turn cold. How the wind did blow; whew! The next day the river was fuilof ice, and the following it- was closed tighter than wax. It remained in this condition until the first part of March; I have forgotten the exact day, but [ remember the John A.

Hotel guests lingered about the steam heaters all day. In the business quarter only such teaming as was nedéess was indulged in, There was an absence of sleighs on the streets, although the roadways are in splendid condition for that form of locomotion, It was altogether too cold for that or any other kind of sport. The firemen huddled abouc their red hot stoves, pearing that the sound of the joker might be ieard® at anv moment. Such policemen as were not warming at saloon stoves moved with unusual anima- tion.

A young man not over 30, who se months ago wus a pros- perous mechanic, stood befor ethe Commis- sioner and begged for shelter until the cold weather was over at least. ‘he empty sleeve at his side bore out his storv of an arm lost in a machine, and the tive months spent in the hospital. It was too late to send him to the Poor House to-day, and he was forced to breast the storm in his light clothing again, with the promise that he would be sent out to-morrow. “Howl will spend the night God alone knows,” he said, as left the office, the genius of misery and disappoint- ment.

TAYLORVILLE, January 4—The funeral of the late Abner Bond drew out a large number of the friends of that family yesterday. The mercury in the ther mometers bugged the zero mark very closely, and the funeral in consequence was exceedingly dismal. The remains were taken from the house of the deceased and escorted to the Presbyter- jan Church. The F. & A. M. Lodge, of which he was a member, turrmed out ia large force and acted as escort in the cortege. The funeral address was delivered by Rev. Mr. Michwel, the paster of the church. The whoie affair was exceedingly pathetic. The rude attendanis, the weeping family and the ceffin which contained the resuit of that peediess suicide, all made av appeal for commiserauon which was irresistible. The suicide’ of the man who had furnished the money for the presecution of Montgomery, Pettus and Clementi and the verdict acquitting those men combined to make a terrible blow to the Boud family. Cot. Bond moved about in a dazed way, like a man in extreme suffer- ing, who knew not what he was doing. The relatives were Bearly all present, and despite the keen, biting air hundreds of sympathizers fliled the church. At the conclusion of the services the enly opportunity of the day for gemeral conversa- tion and a discussion of the verdict vecurred. Of course, in that crowd there could be but one feeling, and thai was resentment of the verdict as unjust, aed increased hatred of the men who were accused. Tne expres- sions heard were made in lew tones, but the tones were these of bitter vindictiveness, upreasening. «John Montgomery, Clemeati and Pettus were bad menand should have beea convicted, ne matter how much ofan alibi they proved. “I'l! sell you what | weuld have done, if | had been on jury.” said one man, “when Miss Bond iostl bed that Johan ~~" 3 “Sho, what Aad argymenis I’ve been on juries often enough te know.

The above list of names represents an augregate capital of nearly $500,- 0v0,000. In reading the list, one cannot help being struck by the factthat the rich people of New York are not distinguished, or that the distinguished people of New York are not rich, There is hardly a man on the list that has any other distinction except money. JOHN JAY has been Minister to Vienna and China, and Cart Scuvunz has held high office under the Government, WHITELAW REID edits the Tribune, and Rick edits the North American Review ; but, even in these exceptional cases, it ls to be noted thatene of these editors has married millions and the other has inherited millions. Mr. GopKIN is also an editor. New York is now wholly given up to the worship of the Golden Calf. Perhaps we ought to say that the only distinguished peo- ple of New York are the rich people, and that thereis no other distinction there ex- cept such aa money gives. ‘THE BOND CASE, Before the people of IJinois make up their minds to hang Mr. Montaomery for the crime of having been acquitied by a jury, it would be well to have the opinion of Ex-Sur- geon General WILLIAM A. HAMMOND or any other reputable specialist on diseases of women, as to whether it is possible that Eas- MA Bonpd may have been the victim of her own imagination. The editorial colamn of a daily paper is not the place for discussing delicate medical subjects, and we do not propose to go deeply into this question. But there are two circum- stances which support the charitable suppo- sition that Miss BOND may be mistaken. Before the trial the reports of her physical condition led to the belief that she was lying at death’s door. The truth probably was that she was subject to fainting spells and hysteria. But when she appeared in Court she is deseribed as looking plump and rosy, and weighing her full weight of one hundred and thirty pounds. The other circumstance is the way in which she overdid the business by indulging in midnight shrieks onthe night after the death of ABNER Bonn, the spirit of the dead man having made up its mind, after five hours of irresolute wandering in space, | to travel twenty-eight miles to visit her and inform her of what had happened. Now, any one who has read the trials of the Salem witches knows that two hundred years ago, inacountry settlement not wide- ly different from the rural life of Illinois to- day, girls and old women, not singly but by dozens, declared themselves to be the vic- tims of outrage. under circumstances’ which showed that they were merely the victims of illusions. Massachusetts is not alone in history. In England there was a similar de- lusion. In France hundreds of women testi- fied to impossible outrages when they knew that death was the result of their confes- sion. In Switzerland, in Italy and especial- lyin Germany, such delusions lasted for years, and caused thousands of deaths by the most terrible tortures. In the light of the facts of history it is quite as easy to be- lieve that Emma Bonp is the victim only of her own imagination as it is to believe that her three neighbors are guilty of the crime she imputes to them. renee UNPOPULAR VERDICTS. The main responsibility for outbreaks of lynch law in this country rests with the newspapers, although they are always depre- cating and denouncing mob violence. When the pedple show a disposition to take the law into their own hands, whether to antici- pate er to reverse court judgments, they al- ways get plenty of good advice from the newspapers on the duty of bowing to the majesty of the law and on the policy gt per- mitting the law to take its course’ in all cases, But this sound adviee does not always counteract the constant efforts of the same papers to prevent the escape of the guilty and to impress upon the people the fact that the humanity of our law provides for the eseape of many a guilty per- son, even under the ‘purest and most rigid administration of public justice. The newspapers criticise all trials and | ‘structions which compel jurymen to weigh jury verdicts from the same standpoint as the general public; the evidence is not pre- sented to them in that carefully sifted form in which it goes to q jury; they are not bound by the solemn obligations and in- the evidence impartially and carefully, un- der the awful consclousness that they will make themsel ves guilty of secret perjury and murder if they doom the accused while repressing a reasonable doubt as to the con- clusiveness of the proof against bim. Yet simultaneous with every interesting trial in court there is another trial ef the same case at the bar of public opinion, through the newspapers, and it frequently happens that these two trials reach opposite conclusions, simply because one is a trialin a forum whose motto is “Let no guilty man escape,” while the other is a trial according to provisions of law, purpose- ly framed to let ninety and nine guilty men escape rather than permit one innocent man to suffer unjustly. This is the reason why there is so much dissatisfaction with jury verdicts, so much said against jury trials, so much distrast of courts, such a tendency to set aside the ma- chinery of the law and to execute the judg- ment of the community or of the mob. In their efforts toinfluence juries and officers, by keeping publie sentiment excited in favor of a strict enforcement of the law, the news- papers have brought into action another dangerous foree. It is a force which pre- sents us the alternative of accepting lynch law with the motto ‘Let no guilty man es- cape,” or of learning to treat with more deference and acquiescence the decisions of tribunals that are organized to protect the innocent even at the coat of letting many guilty persons escape, ee ee | Mexican Trade. From the Repubiican. It would naturally be supposed that the demon- strations made by the Pusiness men of St. Louts during the recent visit of the leading citizens of Chihuahua, Mex., tothis city and the apparent eagerness with which the merchants and magu- faeturers availed themselves of an opportunity to open and establish commercial relations with the States of the Mexican Repubiie would have led to a lively struggle and competition for the estab- lishment and maintenance of the desirea rela- tions. It would seem, however, notwithstanding the adyantages and preferences secured to our city by the cordial reception and clever treatment of the Mexican visitors, that the business com- munity is slow in its efforts to secure their trade. Seeing an advertisement of a dealer in. agricultural implements for a _ traveling salesman abdle to speak Spanish, and inferring therefrom that an attempt wasat least being made to secure a market in Mexico for St. Louis manufactures, areporter of the Republican called upon some of the leading merchants to ascertain - what was being done in that direction. Informa- tion was sought from representatives of nearly every branch of industry, but the inquiry revealed a strange indifference and lack of business energy onthe part of even thoge who were most for- ward inthe entertainment of the excursionists from Chihuahus. In the saddlery sUstness Teta single dealer outof the many large houses was wiliing or desirous to do anything towards intro- ducing their gocds in Mexico. For th who had not yet shipped any goods to that uptry it seemed necessary to first learn what the beweia before taking any steps to secure it, but they Wd not propose to take any risk or put themselves to \ any trouble to obtain the neecessary te pont, s The dealersin iron and steel are quite positiv that they cannot compete with the English manufacturers, and they couldn’t be induced to attempt it. The grocers scout the idea of sending goods to Mexico, and would not take the trade if they could getit. Dealers in ban- ners, regalia and such articles, which should find a ready sale among the religious population and tbe civic and military societies, want to first hear from the inhabitants and learn what class of goods they need. The distillers, brewers and wholesale liquor dealers feel assured that pulque and mescal are quite sufficient to satisfy the wants of the Mexican, and even those who think that he might cultivate a taste for good liquors and brandies are of the opinion, gleaned from past experience, that the profits on the sales will not pay for the trouble of an acqnaintance with the Custom House officials. Dealers in railroad supplies have had so much annoyance in obtain- ing Mexican drafts in exchange for their goods, and in having‘the drafts, which are executed in Spanish, cashed, that they prefer to wait until the difficulties arising from the difference in language have been overcome. Dry govds and clothing merchants, shoe and hat dealers, druggists and others will wait until the duties imposed on their goods are removed by arevision of the treaty be- tween the two republics. Dealers in machinery and agricultural implements are almost alone in their efforts to find a marxet for their goods in Mexico. Nearly al) others are either indifferent or willing to leave the honor of discovering the advantages of commercial relations with Mexico to thelr more venturesome competitors of Chicago or elsewhere, Some labor under the impression that the rajl- roads discriminate in their freight rates in fayor ‘of Chieago, whereas both Mr. Tredway of the freight bureau and Mr. Cahili of the Mexican Commercial Exchange are ready to make good any losses that may be proved to have resulted from such discrimination in any instance. From the attitude of the merchants, it is admit- ted that the trade of Mexico will afford immense advantages to American producers within a short time. The business men of St. Louls are too in- different to the resuit to make any effort toward being the first in the field, and being in readiness when the treaty mentioned has been revised, to take advantage of the acquaintance previously established, by the Introduction of their goods py advertising their wares or places of business, ~* In the meantime, while the merchants and manufacturers of St. Louls are watching and waiting, Micawber-like, their competitors of the East are zealously preparing for. the coming “boom,” which, when it does come, must recall! forcibly, if not regretfully, to St. Louis busivess men the wisdom of the old adage that it is too late to shut the stable-door when the colt is gone. Monkeys and Filunkeys,. From the London Truth. Ihear from Florence that the English tn that city are making fools ofthemselves anent the Dukeand Duchess of Teck, by insisting ypon carrying out ail the strictest laws of court eti- quette wherever the Teckian Highnesses go. They never think of leaving before them, and there is so wondrous an amount of kissing of hauds and of prancing backwards at evening parties where they are present that the Floren- tines, Rassians and Americans are lost in amaze- ment. These royal antics may afford the Prin- cess Mary and the Duke a cértaid amount of amusement, but if persevered in they will render a residence in Florence anendurable, both to them and to all who are not funkeys. Theory and Practice. From the Louisville Courier-Journal. new enairman of the Republican National Com- mittee, in this savage manner, What if he has made his fortune by hiring the Minnesota con- victs at 45 cents a day; won’t he spend it now in the interest of the grand old party, which, when placing Mr. Sabin atits head, declared im reso- nant terms in “favok of dignifying and ennobling American Jabor?”- Isn't he a good Republican, and should he not, asa Republican, in practice exercise the privilege of hiring his labor where he can get it cheapest, in order that he may advocate his pet theory of protection to the American workingman. Make a ¢learer distinction, Mr. Herald, between the Protectionist’s theory and the Protectionist’s practice, ' Northern Immigrants Welcomed. . From the Richmond ( Va.) State. Thousands of sturdy farmers are migrating from the North to the South every year, and those who have been in our sunny elime two or three years are delighted with the change. They find that farming in the South pays, an d that there is no pleasanter section te live in. Mississippi ana Tennessee are getting many of this class of people, and the next year,promises a boom in ex- cursions of land buyers from the North and West. POLITICAL DRIFT.

THERE are signs vf a Butter still-hunt.

In each in- stance the view is advanced that our exports in this line could be greatly increased if we were relieved of the burden of what is regarded as an unjust tanff. Without achapge in the present Saws there is little possibility of opening up a sperous fore e.'? COMMENTING on the recent negro convention in Connecticut, the Hartford Evening Post (Rep.) says: “There can be little doubt that a satisfac- tory statute guaranteeing he rights of colored citizens woula be immedintaly Paes by the Leg- islature, and, while there seems to be no pressing ecessity for such an enactment, it would be an ment to the statute book rather than a biem- ish. | There has been, we believe, during the past r pne single instance, and that in a Bridgeport dining saloon, where colored men were denied equal privileges with white men.” MEN OF NOTE.

What the Editors of the New York Journals Are Saying To-Day. By Telegraph to the Post-Dispatch. NEw YorK, January 4—The WORLD says: “We justly denounce the Repub lican party for ite corruptions, its prodigality, its subserviency to corporations and monoplies, its failure to punish official rascality and dishon- esty, and its defiance of the will of the ple, We should not forget that these evils ad not have been continued this long but for blunders.” THE TIMES, The Times says: “EKx-Senator McDonald of Indiana explained bis views on American com- meree, and particularly American shbip- ping, to three score Indiana ed- itors yesterday—auditors few, though ft. It does not seem to have been an inspiring ad- dress, as at its conclusion a resolution favoring the speaker as candidate for the Presideticy was brushed aside as ‘premature and unnecessary,’ This rebuff, however, did not prevent the editors from accepting with gratitude fifty electroplates ofthe portrait of Indiana's favorite son for use when their advocacy of his cause shall no longer be premature, and may be extremely necessary.” THE SUN. The Sun says: “The Massachusetts Repub- licans have long pretended to be the ées- pecial champions of religion and _ virtue, and gome i of the clergymen among them have regarded Ben Butler 2s the fve of everything that is lovely and of good report. f Yet,the parting gift of this wicked man is a Bible. His Kepubiiean predecessors do not seem to have d apy use for a Bible, but he is determined that his successors shall nave the opportunity of con- sulting one in the executive chamber. Perhaps he expects to use this official Bibie for anether fear himself. Atauy rate be has set the Repub- icans a good example,.”’ .

The Cleveland Club Will Go On as Usual. —_—————— Diamond Chips—Turf Notes—General Sport- ing Notes, Personals and Gossip. The various club managers have been watching the Cleveland Club very closely for several weeks past, and it seemed by no means certain that it would continue in the feid. In that event an effort would un- doubtedly be made to transfer the club bodily to some other city, and the Union ciub of Cincinnati was looking rather anx- jously in that direction. The truth is thata number of excellent players would have been thrown on the market and all clubs would have been entitled to bid for their services—the rules specially prohibiting the transfer of clubs from one city to another under any §clreumstances, A special dispateh, however, states that all trouble has been ended, the rounds provided for, and the Cleve- and Club will be re nted by a nine which will be vag 4 strong, although they will probably lose Duniap, York and Daily. The Clevelands are anxious to secure Strief for second base, he being a home player and very popular there, but St. Louis cannot spare that excellent, quiet and gentlemanly player. Meat for Myers. Bell’s Life, in Engiand, sneers at L. E. Myers’ upsetting of a very old record, to-wit: the running of four separate quarter miles within the hour. Myers, it will be remem- bered, ran the four quarters at Goulding’s aud Badger’s benefit on October 22, in 3 min. 31 25 see., beating Charles Westhall’s record, 3 min, 62 sec., achieved thirty years ago by 2056 sec. The American amateur champion occupied but 44 min, 31 2-5 see. in completing the whole, while it was generally understood here for years that Westhall consumed the entire hour when he pnt his figures on record. Our English contemporary now furnishes the information that Westhall “was allowed ebisty minutes’ rest between each start,” which, if true, gives Myers the credit of cre- ating the record, for if Westhall had thirty minutes’ rest between each start it must have taken over four hours to have compieted the task. Our transtiantic contemporary may be right in saying that Westhall’s rec- ord (four separate miles in an hour, with thirty minutes’ rest between each start) “probably owes its existence to the fact of no first-class pedestrian having attemped the featand beating it,” butit should also re- member that Myers, after completing the task of running four separate quarters in an hour, witha limit of fourteen minutes’ rest bef€veen each start, admittedjthat there were probably a dozen amateurs in this country who could do it. We imagime our atlrietic brother across.the water has made a slip of the pen onthe thirty minute rest point, or else the types have made him read like a a fool.—{Turf, Field ana Farm. A New Circular.

The American code, on the other band, prohibits the over- Sena throw, and increased penalties for the violation of this rule have been introduced, Then, too, the League code provides no pun- ishment for the pitcher hitting the batsman with a pitched ball, while the American code gives the batsman his base every time he is hit by a swiftiy-delivered ball.

Foot to Charitably Aid the Distressed. - A Substitute for Pawnbrokers and the Chattel Mortgage Sharks—-What Prom- inent Citizens Think of the Scheme— Talks With Messrs. Scruggs, Ferguson, Samuel, Fusz and Others, The exorbitant rates of interest charged by pawnbrokers for money loaned on collat- eral security has been a theme so thoroughly discussed by the newspapers that the sub- t js well-nizgh exhausted. Legislators save given the matter mature consideration and brought all the force of their. logic and eloquence to bear upon it. Laws have been enacted prescribing th@ maximum per- centage to charged and limiting the time within which a letge is redeemable, yet with all this, the same oppression exists and those who are compelled to resort to these shops to procure ready money, are outrageously robbed and swindled by the men who make a living and pile up fortunes by their nefarious busi ness. The propriety of organizing a Collateral Loan Company in St, Louis, for the purpose of lending money to the poor upon personal property and effects, at a reasonable rate of Interest, has provoked anew tbe dis- cussion regarding pawnbrokers, their dealing with the poor and the proper remedy. There is now In Boston an institution of this kind for making loans to the poor. The scope and workings of the company and the results so far achieved are now being consid- ered by a party of gentiemenin New York City. with a view to organizing a similar ona there. Mr. Henry E. Pellin, the Rev. R. Heber Newton and Mr. J, O. Woods are the geritiemen most fede em interested in the project. During Tweed’stime there was a bank chartered inthat city called the Loan Bank, which subserved pretty much the same purpose, butowing to bad management it soon passed into the hands of a receiver. The gentlemen above mentioned contemplate or- ganizing a company and either buying the charter of this bank or running their institu- tion under the existing léws regulating pawnbrokers. In the jatter event, of course, they could modify the rules governing the company so as to bring it strictly within the scope of the law, and at the same time loan money at a much lower rate and upon easier terms than are now asked by the pawnbrokers. Such an institu- tionin St. Louis would be of inestimable benefit to cverv poor man or woman Ww ho is forced at times to secure a loan on personal property to obtain the very necessaries of life. As matters stand at present, they are forced to go either to the pawnbrokers, or, what is worse, to THE “SHARKS” and “shavers” who do a pawnbroker’s busi- ness without his Jicense. Un«er the laws regulating pawnbrokers in this State, they are allowed to charge 5 per cent ver mouth on all sums loaned, not exceeding n amount $20, ard 3 per cent per month on all amounts over and above that sum, If the interest and principal are not paid at the end of the month the pledge is partially for- feited—that is the pawnbroker ts not bound to accept merely the interest after that time, and thus keep the loan alive. But the pawn- er has the privilege at any time within sixty days after this partial forfeiture. upon pay- ment of interest and principal to date, of redeeming his pledge. ‘This latter provision of the law is not generally known, and thou- sands of poor persons who are unable to meet the interest at theend of the first month think their pledge is wholly forfeited and make no further effort to redeem it. In this way pawnbrokers obtain many valuable articles which might have been redeemed had the unfortunate person who pledged them only known the law. The modes and methods of the “money lenders’ and “sharks” who put out their money ;at usurious rates of interest are, if le worse than those of the pawn- brokers. heir business {fs wholly Ulegal and their unfortunate victims would not be compelied to pay the exorbitant interest charged by them if they had the courage and luck to bring them before the bar of justice. Sut, in most instances, dreading the mortifi- cation of an exposure, or being ignorant of their legai rights, they quietiy submit to the swindling and wholesale robbery of these, HUMAN VULTURES. If this new project of forming a Collateral Loan Companv is carried into effect, the pawnbrokers will be compelled to reduce their rates of interest and the “sharks” and “shavers” who now live on the necessities of the poor will have to re- sort to sume other business to earn a liveli- hood. In order to obtain an expression of opin- lon from those gentlemen who have been prominently interested in every charity that tends to alleviaie the condition of the poor, a Post-Dispatcn reporter calied upon a fow of them and obtained the following ip- terviews: MR. JOSEPH O'NEILL, one of the officers of the St. Vincent de Paul Society, said: “lam very glad to hear that such a project is afvot. 1 have often thought of the outrages chargeous of the pawnbrokers and pitied the poor persons who were forced to go to them for money. I understand they charge 5 per cent per month. This is shame- ful. Why, people complain of paying 8 per cent per annum to the banks. What must it be, then, to be forced to pay 60 per cent?” “Do you think the scheme a feasible one?” “Weill, asto that, I cannotsay. I nave not given the matter any consideration. There would be serious obstacles to be met. The company wou'!d have to \e conducted on purely business principles to make anything like a success. ‘The poor, asa class, are very peculiar—the more vou give them, the more they want—and if they get achance, I am sorry to say, they will not hesitate to take advantage of a benefactor. However, I think if the company were well organized, and the proper men placed in charge, there would be no difficulties that could not be overcome.” “Could not such a company be made to co- operate with the St. Vincent de Paul and Provident Societies ?”’ “I see no reason at present why it should not. ‘The object of both societies ts the same, and I am sure there are gentlemen of means in them, who would cheerfully aid any pro- ject tending to better the condition of the poor. But, as 1 said, this is.a matter for mature consideration. lam glad the Posrt- DisPATCH has takenit up, and I hope it may result in the formation of a company such as you suggest.” MR. D. K. FERGUSON, residentof the Mechanics’ Bank, said the dea was anew one to bim. He haa not thought of itand hence could not give an opinion of aay. Wenent in the matter. If the company in ston had proved a success he Saw no reason why we should not have an equally successful one here. The company to ve a success, from a business standpoin would have to be managed by a aet o Strongly eonservative men. Sentiment would have to be entirely exciuded. MR. LOUIS FUSZ, the president of the St. Vincent de Paul Society, said: *‘There is a similar institution in Paris called the Mont de Piete, but it is completely under government control.: It was established for the purpose of relievin the poor from the extortionate rates char by pawnbrokers. It is an admirably maa- aged estabiishment in all departments. 6 rates of interest are low, but the rules and regulations are strict and — upon business rincipies. Whether such a company could forined and run successfully in this coun- try lam not prepared to say. I think it would be a godsend to many a poo but owing tothe shiftless pers lam inclined to thi vers the loaning of here would money ve to be even more severe than in th country. I would certainly Sever ener ieee | . ect of the kind and. do all in my power to further its interests.” the ould ne St. Vincent de Paul Society aid “Not asasociety. The members individ- ually could, and Iam sure would lend their ud and means to help the cause of the poor. ou see, We have not yet had the pauper question to deal with in all its severe phases, as they have on the other side of the water, and eeeeeg get y we cannot speak as Intelli- gently on the subject as those who have had ac experience inthe workings of such companies,”’ : MR. R. M. SCRUGGS, president of the Provideut Association, ought the idea an excellent one, though he had not given it sufficient consideration to express an Mpeg as to its suceess, If the ht kind of men could be induced to take hold of it and give it the time and attention that it deserved, he saw no reason why it could not be made a success. Those who took stock would have to look upon it to a great extent in the light of a charitable in- stitution, and contented with a smali rate of interest on their investment. The Provident Association could not run such an instiiution, Its ob- jects were different.” ‘Do you think there wonld be any difi- culty in raising the requisite capital stock for arg . company ?”’ “Not if it were started by the right par- at must have good men at head “Would many members of the oyppeetion 4 agi an Spovident “As a matter of charity I think the would, I, myself, Was surprised to learn ~ what a large extent the poor have reason to resort to these pawnbroker shops. There was a woman in bere the other day to ask some aid from me, and she had in her possession fourteen pawn tickets, repre- senting nearly all of her househ..id and per- sonal eifects, She said if she could only save some One or two things among them she was willing to let the others go. This is but one case, and any institution that would better this condition of affairs for the poor, would, I think, meet with approval and assistance from every charitable man.” MR. MICHAEL M'ENNIS said he would most certainly be in favor of anything that would rid the city of these misetly scoundrels who loan money on chat- tel mortgages to the poor, and charge them tremendous rates of interest. It was the poor who suffered mostly from the pawn- shops. There were times tin almost every poor man’s liie whena little lift would set him on his feet and give him anew start. If he could only go to some honest institu- tion and procure a loan on an hon- est basis, how much better off he would be than now, when hels forced to enter one of these thieves’ dens and sacrifice his property. ‘‘Yes, sir,’’ he saidin couciusion, “I think it a capital pa and if properly started is bound to suc- ceed. MR. WEB M. SAMUEL thought, at first biush, since he had not con- sidered the matter that the formation of such a company would be a noble step in the right direction. Poor men were often thrown out of employment by the “shutting down” of factories and the sudden failure of large concerns. and before they could get anything to do, they would run outof ready money. In such cases they had to resort to pawnbrok- ersand subject themselves to their extor- tionate rates. Such a company as the one suggested would obviate this, and it would receiyg his most hearty indorsement. He thought the requisite amount of money to run it could easily be raised. “It is a’capital idea,”’ said ‘TH W. COBB, MR. QE 1 “and is bound to do good in the right direc- tion. Itis a burning shame to think of the way in which the poor of St: Louis are rob- bed and swindled by the pawnbrokers. Why they make their living off of the poor, and any company that would undertake to lean money on an honest basis, provided it was properly conducted, would not only per- form anact of charity, but would carna fair rate of interest on the capita! in- vested.” “Do you think the capital could be raised ?” | “Why certainly. I, myself would take stock in it.” .A gentleman who had spent some years IN MEXICO said that there was an institution there call- ed Monte Pio, which subserved $the same purposes asthe Mont de Piete in Paria and the Monte di Pieta in Rome. It was one of the thoroughly honest Mexican institutions. Money was loaned to the poor on collateral security at the rate of 8 per cent per annum. There wasa ciassification of departments, and each department had its own appraiser, who must be perfectiy familiar with the value of the gooris offered as security. Any mistakes made by him were charged to his account, yet he was not permicted to under- estimate the value of articles brought to him. The entire establishment was under Govern- ment surveillance, and in its dealings with the poor everything was done on a strictly honest and business basis. A Big Bargain. Very fine gold watch, E.

The latest move of the Lutz gang to get rid of Chief Campbell was taken to-day in a charge made out against him for neglect of duty in his assignment as patrolman in the Central Distriet. The charge and specifica- tions were handed to Chief Campbell to-day. The charge is worded as against Patrolman John W. Campbell, Central Police District, commanding him to appear before the Board of Police Conimissioners on Tuesday, January 8, at 3o’clock p, m., to answer the complaint. The charge is for violating Rule 154 of the Police Manual, and the specifications read as follows: ‘That Patroiman John W. Campbell was assigned to duty in the Central Police Dis- trict by Special Order 85, dated De- cember 29, 1883, signed Joseph Hercules, Acting Chief of Police, did abandon the police force for five consecutive days without permission. All of whichis preju- dicial to the good order and discipline of the lice force.’ Os is ot Capt.

The number is small and is accounted for by the inclemcnt weather preventing the keepers from coming down town. Mr. Clifford, the depaty col- lector, states that there will bea large num- of beer licenses taken out, and the reason is that many have found it mmr roe to pay the high license. In yeste s Posr-DIsPATCH, some remarks of Mr. Clit- ford were Placed in such connection, = Clifford did not make the statement, and the excitement at the City Hall may subside. It is, nevertheless,a fact, that the law has been violated.

From the New York World, “Tlow much money can a successful artist week?” , mea said the dramatic agent, “there is no limit to the antount thata successful art- jst can make, but success runs all the way from Lillian Russell, who gets about $150 a week, to Adeiina Patti, who makes $10,000 a week. Success has a very wide margin. “Well, can’t you average it. Whatis a good leading lady—I believe that’s what you call ’em—worth?” “She's worth all she can t, as a rule. She ranges [rom 350 to $250, Miss Weaver of Booti’s company, let us. say, gets $75 a week, and Miss Sara Jewett, at Stetson's, ts8150a week. They are both leading, ut when it comes to money one leads the ther. " “When Jewett started out with Edgar she was to get $3,000. You see, a woman is worth to @ manager all that she will draw. The question of intrinsie worth does not en- ter into his caleulations. Some of them are called gems and diamonds of the purest water by you newspaper people, but t's pure rhetoric. A diamond has a fixed value, but there is nothing in the world that fluctu- ates so much as a woman’s commercia! value on the stage. I’ve known it to goup 200 reentina night, and Ihave known it to Fall off that amount in a week,” “From what causes?” “Accjgents. The ability didn’t vary, but the demand did. She gets cast in a piay that doesn't it her; she makes two or three mis- takes; she is mismanaged, and down she goes. ‘The factis there Is nothing in the world so factitious as the price of an artist, and it never bearsany relation to ber abil- a a > eh Siftings. woman, pisce vo waal we dayo tn the ween, @ue an & wornan to work in @ .

Look at Kate Claxton, She is one of the best paying attractions now on the stage. But she does not rank atall as an actress, 1A fire made her. Look st Rose Eytinge, conceded by managers and critics to be one of if not the best general leading woman we have got, She cannot play to even good business in New York. Look at Ellen Ter- ry. ‘There are half ascore of managers here willing to star her at her own terms, but there is Ada Rehan, ai Daly’s, who ean do the same business and is younger and fresh- er, who gets a hundred a week. When Pres- cott got through ple ing Emilia to Saivini’s Othello she wanted § Wa week Sut down went her pric. as Salvini faded from view.” “Whatdo you estimate Langtry’s ability to be ?”’ “Ii’s a pretty hard thing to estimate.” “Oh, weil, 1 mean how does she rank as an actress alongside of Ciara Morris, Rose Ey- tinve and Miss Wainwright?” “In my opinion she does not rank at all.” “Well, she wakes more money all of m. “There is Mr. Charles Coghlan, who has prosived the highest salary ever paid to a eacing member of a stock company—let us ag double that which anybody else has re- ved. Do you think he possesses double the amount of ability?’ You see these hings canifot be scheduled on an artistic basis, They are purely commercial matters. lhave seena girl who was getting $15 a week make a great bitin a smail part, get a lat of good notices in the press the next morul: Fe and then demand $75a week and etit. lL have seen women who could not get 10a week in any company strike somebody witha play, and somebody else with alittle capital, start oul.on the road, and after hain- mering away for awhile, make several] thou- sand dollars. But these are rare exceptions. Tocte’s hot one woman in 500 who ever lnakes money for herself, Asa rule actresses are Worse managers, even for themselves, than actors are.”’ “To come back to salaries, do not ordin- ary theatricai salaries run from $40 to 75 a fifer geveral housework; BOFW. |’ st. 886 ——-§Yes, for people that ean be easily got. r gemeral honsoworn.

Reasons Why Sleeping Beauty Should Not Swing in Railway Cars. From the Burlington Hawkeye. An advertisement before usin an exchange looks as though it was a good thing, but we are skeptical. The article is a ‘‘car-seat hammock,” and there is a picture of the hammock swung from the back of one seat to the back of tne seat ahead, and in the hammock is a young lady asleep, and over the picture are the words, “Sleep, darling, sleep.” The girl seems to be asieep, with ber foot in the stirrup of the hauwmock, but there is a weird, wicked wildness about her face that convinees the beholder that she is wide awake. Such a hammock might be made to work in an empty car on a side track, butin acas runniug forty mies au hour that gir! would get spilled out on the floor. In the first place, the person with a hammock has got to have two whole seats, which no ratiroad company would allow, un- less the girl was a friend of the brake- man. t would be a nice sight, wouldn’t it, to see a girl come into & crowded car, cause passengers to move out of a couple of seats, then swing her bam- mock and get in and go to sleep, imagine such a scene and listen to the comments of the passengers. The drummer for the gro- cery house, sitting on the wood-box, wouid look at her and say: “She looks as though she had only one lung, but she has two galls,” and would go up to the hammock and say: “Is this seat all occupied?” The girl would open ber eyes and give him a look that would cause hius to pass on to the smoking- carinabhurry. The brakeman would go to the hummock girl and touch her on the vac- cination-mark and say: “Miss, you wil have to take down your circus tent and let somebody help you yoo | this seat, and she would paralyze the brakeman witha look, and he would go off and send the con- ductor in. Tne conductor woud bring the big grocery drummer with him, and say: “Can’t you make room for this gentieman ?”’ and then she would be mad. At stations along the line of the road, grangers would stand on the platform and look in the windows at the curi- ous spectacle, and, as the train moved off with the § sleeping woe & every- body would be tired except the girl, Girls can think of enough ways to make passen- gers on a railroad train wish they were dead without harnessing themselves up in a hain- mock at the top of the seats, and an inventor who places additional facilities in their pos- session by which they are enabled to annoy passengers is doing a great wrong. It is bad enough to drive along the réad and see a gir! swing in a hammock between two trees on a lawn, where the distance from the object is so great that you cannot tell whether the stocking is siik or lisie thread, but to havea girl in the hammock right across the aisle of a car would be tantalizing, and the fear that something would break and that the beauti- ful sleeper would drop down between the two seats, her body shut up like ajack-knife, ope foot caught in the shawl-rac« and her bead on a valise in the corner, her wig off and the girl yelling murder and calling for the brakeman to uncouple her foot, wouid be enough te cause the hair of the average mau to turn gray onasingile trip.

From the Chicage News. Frank R. Sherwin, the New Mexico mill- ionaire, has just been sentenced at A!bany, N. Y., to two years’ imprisonment in the Penitentiary. By a singuiar coincidence the news of his sentence reaches Chicago on the date of the return of the very“*Romany Rye”’ theatrical party that played here when Sherwin was nabbed in this city three months ago by the New York detectives. At that time Sherwin was spending his honey- moon with his girlish bride in this city; she was his second wifeand young enough to ve his daughter. After he was taken back East, the briae got acquainted with one of the leading actors in the “Romany Kye’’ im. She managed, too, to get back to ler home in Denver in time to enjoy an engage- ment of the ‘Romany Rye’’ company in that city. Itis not known what she will do, now that her giddy oid spouse has been jugged for a couple of years. Her father, or rather, her stepfather, is Gov. Gilpin, one of the most respected eitizens of Colorado, and he was mad as a wet hen when his wiiifu! daughter clandestinety married the rich but crooked old snoozer from New Mexico. Gov. Gilpin was ambitious that the girl shoula wed a young man he had picked out for her —a cousin, if we are not mistaken—a worthy fellow, but not at all the kind of a spouse the young lady hankered after. Young Mrs. Sherwin will probably bear up under her temporary widowhood with the same heroic fortitude that characterized her when the re- worseluss minions of the law swooped down upon her senile husband last October, broke up the deliriously ‘blissful honeymoon, and bundied the oid man off to a felon’s fate in the far distant Kast. \, off on all overcoats at “Famous.” ——$—<< Over the Fence.

All Paris paraded in this precious tome; for each transparent pseudonym a splash of mud, and for Sarah, siuce she is the peineipel subject of the book, all humiliations and outrages. No consideration restrained the authoress, WHY DID sHE Do IT Why did Marie Colombier write such an odious book? To avenge herself on Sarah, against whom she pretends she nad cause for complaint, aud there were under this “redskin’’ vengeance merely a smail question of interest and a slight feeling of self-love. Hence formidabie hatred, an unreasoning desire for vengeance by the most abominable means, calumny and treachery. HEB DIREFUL WRATH. In order to comprehend the wrath of Sarah Bernharat it is necessary to read this book. A glance at the pages will explain why Sarah started off in battle array like the crazy ereature she always is, and for which this time she had a sufficient excuse. It will be understood pow, intoxicated with fury, she struck at randum, smashed furniture, tore the robes and sacked the apartinents of Mile. Colombier. I defy Marie Colombier to make any compiaint, for no magistrate could be found to condemn this insulted wife, this mother forced to biush before her son through 300 pages, this great artist, whose past bas been examined for the sole purpose of discovering shame and parading it at the present day. THE DOWNWARD PATH. I was acquainted with this Marie Colom- bier, and she then gave no evidence of the present demon let loose on its victim. One day she awused herself by writing some scandalous stories, and a pack of empty- headed fops paid court to her and flattered her vanity. She thought she had entered the domain of literature or something that resembied it. Soop she took wo it in earnest and inusensibly began to descend the Incline made smoot! by scandal and defamation. EVIL FLATTERERS. A woman who has been very pretty, andis so to-day for her age, aiways attracts a court of men to laugh at her nonsense. Such was ber case. In the conversation 1 have had with ber I lost my time in attempting to convince Mile. Colombier that she was en- gaged in a very reprehensible business, which was bound to end badly. She quietly reptied that she was merely following the example of others, and had as much right to do in respect to the theatrical world what, for instance, Alphonse Daudet had done for “Kings in Exile. The unfortunate creature was convinced that she was one of the repre- sentatives of modern literature, A CHEERING WORD FOR SARA. It is to be regretted, especially on Marie Ceimobier’s account, that tuis book made its appearance. ‘The great artist aimed at in it cannot suffer from the insults she re- ceived at a time when her mind was entirely occupied with the new role in which she is to appear. Sarah may be assured that all Paris experiences the same feeling of indig- nation, and ali Paris will efface, by enthusi- astic applause, the very memory of this out- rage.

A typical cowboy, fresh from his herd, went into Eiiteh’s chop-house last night, The tables were gi! filled with the exception of one, at which the terror of the plains seated himself. As he pulled off his hat and untied the red bandannua handkerchief from around his turoat he looked disdainfully around. : The nimble waiter brushed an imaginar bread crumb from the cioth, whisked a bill of fare from tue caster and placed it before the festive and untamed youth. ‘Take it away!"’ he snaried, “I that. 1 want rattiesnake on Wast! ‘Rattlesnake on toasi!” yeiied the waiter. “Rattlesnake on toast!” responded the cook. ‘there was a slight flutter among the guests at the strange order, and the cowboy was scanned oy many curious eyes.

He saw the cooks and waiters engagedin flling orders, and looking 45 50.€iIDn @s graveyards after miduight. He assuied a nonchalant air and picked his teeth with his fork.

The lariat wrestler began to grow nerv- ous. The devil-may-care expression had left his eyes, and a soft, subdued, melan- choly shade had takeu its piace. He fidgeted in his chair, and seemed to be nerving biw- self for an ordeal. “Here you are sir,” said the culinary Ganymede, placing a dish in which was sumething nicely coiled, which looked like afried specimen of the genus~ erotalus. “Have a iittlie Worcester sauce?

The ay erage depth of the imprint is four inches, while at the ball of the foot itis sixinches.

Lively Fight in a New York Mana- ger’s Office, The Part that Digby Bell Took in the Affair— A Man Whe Imagined He Was Dangerously Stabbed—Local Theaters. By Telegraph te the Pest-Dispatch. New Yoru, January 4.—The little dis- turbance between Mr. Max Freeman, stage manager of the Bijou, and Mr. Sidney Rosen- feld, has had a somewhat comic sequel. Mr. Freeman was sitting im tne office of Mr. E. E. Rice, glancing nervously at the morning papers, conscious that Mr. Rosenfeld sat on the lounge at his rear glaring savagely at him. Mr. Rice wasin ene corner of the room twirling his thumbs and looking out of the window, while Mr. Digby Bell sat in silence admiring his picture, which hung en the wall. To use a phrase current in diplo- matic circles, the “relations were strained.” Nobody said a word when Mr. Max Feeeman, who felt the Rosevfeldian eye directed on the back of his head, turned suddenly around apd exclaimed, “Who are you looking at?’ ‘lam looking at you,” shouted Mr. Rosen- feld with just as much emphasis. Mr. Free- man, who is portly, made a German spring at Rosenfeld, who dodged the onslaught, be- ing aman of much lighter build. utina moment they were locked in a bitter struggle. Confused mutterings in several languages proceeded from the twe combatants. Chairs were overturned, sofas were pushed out of the way, the piano was scraiched,and Mr. Rice’s Japanese screen WAS TOKN TO PIECES. Mr. Rosenfeid fought valiautly. Mr. Free- man did not strike but endeavored to bear down his opponent by bis weight. For afew minutes Mesers. Riee and Digby Beil leoked on in silent horror. Bell seized the picture of himself and carried it outside the dvor, jand returning decided to separate the com- batants. They were stil! panting, clutching and muttering. With aswoep like a bird of rey, Mr. Bell came down upon them and ound the task te be quite an easy one. Both were evidentiy $$ anxious te be separated. Bell got between Rosen- feid and Freeman. Freeman steed in the middie of the floor. Rosenfeld seized Mr. Rice’s large inkstand and yelled at Freeman, “If you make another step for- ward l’li smash in your skuil with this,” Here came the catastrophe. Mr. Rosenfeld in his excitement bad evidently forgot- ten that a large inkstand naturally centained a great deal of ink. He forgot also that Mr. Beli was im the immediate proximity. At a Fa as he held ihe inkstand aloft, the ui BRUSHED LIKE A CATARACT out of the two ink bottles on the back of Mr. Bell’s head and dewn his neck. Fully a quart of the biack liquid soakea Mr. Beil’s head, shirt aud anderciothes, and ali in an instant. With a wild shout Bell made arush for the dvor. He afterwards staied that be thought ie had been cutin the neck and that the ink was ibiood All this had happened so eens and the finale was so ludicrous that Rice, Freeman aud Rosenfeld burst into a siinullaneous rvar of laughter, and, although no hands were suaken, it was quite evident that Mr. Beii’s aceident had putan end to the hos- tiiities for the day. “Al, nensense,” exclaimed Mr. Freeman, when asked as tothe truth of the aboye story. “is itnot true that you and Mr. Rosen- sae | had a fuss in the manager’s room?” “Ah, nonsense.” “You have no differences with Mr. Rosen- Seid now ?”’ * “None atall, lsimply did what was my duty. Iifliet every one who wanted to ceme behind the scenes 1 should svon have Hiai! C..iumbia here.” Mr. Siduey Rosenfeld was asked if he had not recently HAD A SCRIMMAGE with Mr. Freeman in the wiauagers’ room. “I will net say that I have,” repiied Mr. Rosenfeld. “Will you say that you have not?” “No, 1 will pot say that.” “There was a little eucounter, then?” *“} will say nothing. Mr. Rice dves not want anything to go iato print about it. My opinion of Mr. Freeman is not fit for publi- cation avyway.” With this Mr. Rosenfeld rushed into the theater. THE THEATERS. ‘Lights o’ London’ had a splendid house last night, and its business during the week bas been very large. This play is superbly puton the stage and perfectiy well acted throughout by Messrs. Burleigh, Howell and Bradshaw; Miss Stebbins and the bal- ance of the company. Sonie ef the stage pictures are the most perfect ever seen in this city, and the crama is in itself fully equal in interest to ‘“‘Romany Rye” and ‘*The World,” which rate as the best of the class. “Lights o’ London” will be given to- night and at the two pertormances to-mor- morrow, for the last time. eee Roland Reed’s “Cheek,” at the Olympic: “Her Atenement,” at the Standard, an **McSorley’s Inflation’ at Pope’s are all ex- cellent attractions, and are doing a good share of business the current week. ‘“No- body’s Claim,” at the People’s, is not by auy means the best drama presented here this season, but afferds the thinking and ob- serving spectator the inestimable luxury of quiet chuckle,” as one of the auditors put Edwards’ Theatre Comique is giving one of the best «lios presented there this season, and the Irish farce which closes the bill is exceedingly laughable. a Gregory’s Dime Museum gives seekers after truthand pleasure a great deal of en- tertainment for a dime, and the theatorium performance is especially good this week. oe I was very much disgusted at the behavior of several jay-hawkers at the Grand Opera House last night. During “the pregress of ‘Lights 0’ London” the curtain falis some six times, At every time it fell, some of these gentlemen made a long line of ladiesand gentlemen get up to jet them out to getadrink, and they moved them the second time to let them back, mak- ing in all some ten or twelve times these per- sons were disturbed.

COUPLED BY CUPID. — A Pair Who Were United by «a4 Warrant for Larceny _ — Appease an Angry Father and Proseoutor by a Marriage Which Serves to Dismiss the Chazgeef Theft and Make Both Happy: : This afternoon an earnest-looking little man poked his head into the various offices ef the Four Courts in seareh of the Prosecut- ing Attorney of the Court ef Criminal Cor- rection, but failed te find the official, who was busy In consultation with the men who make chiefs of police. The mission of the secret little man was discovered after he made some inquiries about the case of John B. Martin and Rosa Hamburger, charged with grand larceny, He was informed that the ease was set down for the 12th instant, and there was subsequently no hurry te make any prelfminary disposition of the matter. he objeet ef the little man’s visit was to secure the dis ulssal of the case dvocketed in the Court of Criminal Corree- tion which grew out of anunfartunate traas- action which has happiiy ended in the marriage of the two principal actors. On the 13th ult. Albert Hamburger, a baker living at No. 3300 Cass avenue, reported to the police that the same day imade additional report to the effect that his marriageabie daughter Rosa and his head baker, Joba B. Martin, had also disappeared, and eve circum- stance pointed towards the guilt of the miss- ing pair. A search was instituted, but with. out aay resuits. On Christmas day a friend ol the family reported to the old gentieman that his daughter was-ia the city. He called at police headquarters, and the hoodluin wagon was ordered to a house on North Tweifth street near Pine, where Mr. Martin and Rosa were found logked in the arms of merpheus aid each other, They were taken to Central Dristricit, where the sad state of affaiis be- eame kuown. When they weré asked for their names he replied, “John Martin,” and she *‘Ro»a Hamburger.” ‘Fhe iather stood by and heard the confession ef guilt. THE GIRL SAID that after leaving their father’s house they bought tickets for New York, and with what little baggage they could gather they left that night tor Gotham. Martia, out of the purse bought himseli a new suit of clethes, and for a week they lived and enjeyed the luxuries they were able to command with the oid man’s savings. The money ran short and they were obliged to return to St. Louis. The day after their arrival the ar- rest was effecied. ‘The vid baker could not bear to see hisdaughter locked ap, and he immediately went oail for her appear- ance at a ~opreliminary examination before Judge Noonan oa the 12th inst. A few days later Martin was bailed out. The wayward pair were smitten and not without cause. Old Hamburger swore that he would not desist until he had landed young Martin in the Peniteutiary, but the unfortunate young fellow had a powerful pieader, whose intercessiens were daily made. After his release he saw the giri. Both regretted their uy! in running away, aud regretied that they did rot ask consent of tue girl’s father. Young Martin offered to repair his offense as far as possi- bie, and together a asked the old man to give his sanction to the marriage. The first pair that waited on Recorder Farrelly yes- terday morning was Martinand his intend: d bride. The license was issudd, and ere this the marriage Ceremony has been performed.
