MoChesney Wanted Him to Have Faulkner’s Place, Ex-Police Commissioner Kinkead Tells the Story of His Relations with Warren McC.— He Borrowed, But Paid Him Back—Men ‘McChesney Desired Appointed—Continua- tion of the Celebrated Trial. Shortly after 3 o’clock yesterday afternoon the thallenges were compicted and Mr. J. G. Lodge mtered wpon his opening address for the State a the case of Warren F. McChesney. The jurors imally selected to try the issue were the follow- ng: Thomas D. Witt, W. H. tlaskell, KE. R. Cow- un, Charles W. Fox, J.D. Stezman, W. G. Meph- um, Henry J. Haynes, 8.8. Snuwdon, James faniey, Guy Eddy, D. W. Jacobs, Matthew Johp- oR. Mr, Lodge’s statement was a reiteration of the iow familiar story as to how, when Mr. Kinkead vas anxious to be appointed Police Commission- vy, Mr. MoChesney took advantage of the situa- jon by extorting from hima biank resignation, m the representation that it was to be forwarded 0 the Governor tor the latter’s protection against uy misconduct on his (Kinkead’s) wrt;and as tohow, when Kinkead refused odo MeChesuey’s bidding in the a intment, fA. J. Stiles as chief of detectives, McOhesne died out the resignation without authority ao ubmitted it, thereby comuiitting a forgery. Gov. Crittenden was called to_ the stand and estified: That he never knew McChesney till fter be was inaugurated as Governor; that Mc- ‘besney never had anything to do with the ap- j ointment of Kinkead as commissioner; that Me- ‘hesney Was never requested or authorized to recure Kinkead’s biank resiguation for e¢u- ernatorial use; and that up or about June 20, 1883, @ (the Governor) found lying on his desk anf en- elope contaluing the foilowing letter, accompa- ied by Mr. Kinkead’s resignation: “St. Louis, June 19, 1883. Goy. Thos. T. Crittenden: “DEAR Sin—l inclose you the resignation of lex. Kinkead as Police Commissioner. Mr, Kin- ead guye me this letterof resignation some time jinee, conditional that when 1 discovered he was ot straight in his officia! position, | was then to ward it to you; the time has now arrived for i@ to do so. believe Mr. Kinkead to be corrupt nd dishonest. His statements to me about his ailing convinced me the timeis not far distant ‘ben an exposure will occur, and as 1 have been oe sewer for others to run their filth through, I ow desire to place myseif on record in this case, iat, Should an exposure of his doings occur, the »sponsipilities are not with me. “Very respectfully, “W. PF, MoCHESNEY.”’ Being cross-examined, tne Govervor said be im- vediately sent for Kinkead, who came to Jeffer- on and denied that the resignation was his act, stodate. He told Kinkead to at once prosecute \eChesney for forgery, and Kinkead promised to 0 80, but never did. The Governor made ‘veral visits to St. Louis in tbis connecilon, 1 the succeeding several noutns, and conferred ith Messrs. White, Lewis, and Viucil, and final- ‘he accepted a revised resignation of Mr. Kin- ead’s which took effect on October 1, 1883. Mr. Alex Kinkcad then took the stand and told ow he had been a neighbor to MeChesney for years and how Mac had been a customer at is grocery. Progressing, he said that McChes- ey suggested the Police Commissionership to im, advised him about getting up a petition, and, vaily, when the matter was well under way, in- u him to sign an undated resignation which eChesney represented wasto be torwarded to 1¢ Governor at his Excellency’s request, to be eld as a protection in case Mr. Kinkead failed te t properly in the position, He gave the on, but his understanding was that ay Was merely the agent ¢ eerie? | £ destroyed 6 afterwards McChesney asked inkead to yote for Stiles as chief of detectives, though he (McChesney) had Brerioensy de- yuunced Stiles as ascoundrel. Concerning this inkead said: “He told me that Mr. Pate want- i Btiles in there for various reasons. He said iat Pate owned a lot of valuable race hurses, and was necessary to have a man at the head of the stectives who wouid give his letters to detectives other cities who would protect him, as he had i0ugh enemies anyhow. @ wanted me to bring @ matter up in the Board, but I declined to do . Leaidthere were others who would do it. eChesney said he had an arrangement with ute which would make it to my pecuniary ad mtage to secure the appointment of Stiles; he id that he expected tocome out ahead; be was have haif the win@ings of the races in which ite was engaged; he was to buy pools, and ould get half the winnings; he said he had an rangement with Pate, whereby he would get @ inside track; that is, that he would get point- son what ls to buy. He offered to give me ul the winolugs if I would have Stiles appviut- , and he said it would amount to a good deal ore than my salary. He insisted that I should eseut Stiles’ name, but I refused to do so.”’ Mr, Kinkead said for this that he was still stub- TR as to voting for Stiles, but was one night apped by McChesney into a meeting with K. Cc. ite, al Which the matter was urged. He stiil re- sted, and finally, on May 4, 1883, he received the lowing letter ; J St. Louis, May 4, 1883. lexander Kinkead, Esq.: URar S8imn— Your resignation, given to me prior your appointment as Police Commissioner, is winmy hands, Your betrayal of my contidence & been so great that, in my Judgment, the time 4 arrived for you to retire {rom the official posi- m younow hold. Since you have held the office Police Commissioner I haye never solicited at ur hands any favors but what was strictly legal d consistent with your official duty. On the Htrary, when ugly rumors were afloat about ur integrity | appealed to you to have them de- ed and make such changes as would convince e apie that no subordinate was dividing with Uthieves’ money, You reluctantly consentea achange. Other rumors that I have beard and ur frequent appeals to me for money have con- 1ced me that you are unfit for the position of ice Commisioner. As 1 do not desire to bumili- ¢ your family, 1 will give you until Wednesday, ¢ Oth inst..to retire from the Board. Shouid u be a member of the Board at thatiime I will ow your letter of resignation to Dr. Vincil and Vv. Mr. Lewis, and explain tothem why I pro- se to send your letter tothe Governor.

He first presented me in spring of ’81 with a seersuck- er ont. and > folluwing I got the woolen su it, as ve sta Mr. Lodge—You can take the witness. On crose-exainination by Judge Valliant, wit- ness stated: The first timé I knew that McChes- ney had retained my resignation was on receipt of that letter he sent me in May—the letter I pro- duced yesterday, Our relations had been Iriend- ly ana sociable for ten years, and up to that time. We had a few little sharp words prior to that let- ter, but our friendship had not been broken. That letter 1 regarded as a direct insult, and re- sdivea never to speak to him again. Q.—You stated yesterday that during your In- cuimbency as Commissioner that McOnesney tried to influence you as to the Stiles matter, the Faulk- ner matter and the Hess matter? A.— Yes, sir, Q.—Were there any other matters In which he attempted to influence you? A.—There were vemnenty littie favors that he spoke to me about, saying I could grant them for lim or his friends. Q.--But these other things were only such as a friead might ask? A.—Some were not granted, and some were. Q.—They generally related to favors for his friends? A,—I suppose so. Q.—And when it was consistent with your duty you granted them? A,—Yes, sir. Q.—Whieh of those three principal mat- ters occurred _ first? A.—-l think the Pauikner matter, That began soon after I went int heh came the Stiles matter, then the Hess matter. in the first place Mr. McChesney toid me Faulkner had talked about me. and my 4p- pointment disrespecifully, and be wanted me w put Faulkner out and some one else in. That was when Boland was having his run In the Board.

The Faulkner matter was first discussed by the mei- bers at my house, when we met discuss finances and the possible dropping of a number of men. I don’t think Mr. McChesney nained the man | urged for Faulkner's piace, but at a iater date he designated another man for me to support, I don’t rewember that I consulted McChesuey as to the first man I sup- ported. The man was recommended to me by John Clark, a neighbor of mine, aud McChesney Knew him weil. Q.—Wiho was this candidate? A.—dJames H. Thornton. Both Mr. McChesney urged the appointment. Ciark — a livery stable No. 2218 ‘ark avenue, and == is chairman of the Democratic Central Committee. At first Mr. Thornton said he was tied with a lease at first and could not take it. 1 told Clark and McUhesvey, and they said there was no hur- ry. aud we could wait a month or two. A lew days ater SENATOR T. T. HATHAWAY CAME AND ASKED ME if he could not have the position, as he had noth- ing to do. He was an old acquaiutance of mine, and I said, “tom, Vill see whut I ean ao.” I spoke to the other members of the Board, and they said it wouldn't do. Mr. MeChesney fayored Mr. Hathaway very sirongly. Mr. Thoroughman—The constitution wouldn't allow hiin to have two offices at once, Witness—That is not an office. The superin- tendent is simply a hireliug, aud that was pot urged. The Board thought it wouldn’t look right to make a State Senator a stable superintendent. Q.—Who besides Mr. McChesney was most prominent in urging Hathaway? A,—I don’t know now, Mr. Hathaway himself Was Very prominent,aud being a friend. cailea on me very often about it. Mr. McChesney said that Hathaway was a friend of his and, haying an un- vortant office, would have some“infiuence, aud could doa great dealfor the party. Q.—What party? A.—The Democratic part y. Q.—But MeChesney was a Republican, was he not? A.—I believe he always claimed to be, but he always said d——n politics where per- sonai interests. are concerned. He was ostensibly a Republican, but always took an act- ive interest in the Democratic party. Q.— You say you examined Mr. Faulxner’s ac- counts? A.—After | look charge of the mounted district; yes, Q.—Ever find anything wrong in them? A, — Nothing. There were never any special charges against Fauikner, except when the City Council investigated him. His position is not subject to — but he can be removed at tlie Board's option, Q.—But the Board would not remove him on complaints without an Investigation ? A.—No, sir. There were some affidavits against him, some of which I saw. I looked into them far enough to learn that the City Couveil had in- vestigated them fully, and then I dropped it. From my inquiries I came to the conclusion there was nothing in the charges, and Faulkner himself went over the matter with me fully, and satisfied me there was nothingin them. The affidavits ng acted on, but were handed io Mr. 8. G-Did you Thornton and sition?

He iF yes; he had Been spoken to and would attesd to the matter. I think Chief Kennett issued the order to dismount Hess, and Commissioner Maxon, who had charge of the dis- trict then, had the order countermanded, saying that that was his districtand I had no right to get orders issued as to affairs init. I did what I could to accommudate McChesney in the matter. I don’t remember that he specifically taid me what he wanted Hess to disclose. He saia Hess was the man who was supposed to have reported that Boland was seen coming out of his (McChes- ney’s) back door a&t ten or two o'clock at night. McChesney seemed to hold that this story: had been cirelulated to injure him, and he thought if Hess was dis- mounted he would tellthe truth abontit. Mr. Hess, however, was not dismounted, owing to Mr, Maxon’s interference. 1 dun’t remember ever perme brouglit the matter up before the Board, or having ever voted on it before the Boara, although 1t is possible I may have done ao. Mr. Maxon, when I first asked him about his in- terference in the Hess matter, denied that ne had prevented the removal. I went immediately te the Chief aboutit.and he said that Maxon cer- tainly did order him to withdraw the removal. Next day [I met Maxon in the Mayor's office, and again asked him, and he said yes, he had. 1 asxed-him why he hadn’t told ine 60 at first. He laughed and said he didn’t know what was brewing. Q.—Now, I want to ask you, Mr. Kinkeaa, ABOUT THE STILES MATTER. When was the subject of the Stiles appointment first spoken of to you by MeUhesney? A.—I think iL WAS in the latter part of March or April, 18383. I was possibly in his office, and he stated there was going to be achange in the office of Chief of De- teclives at the next Bourd meeting. He said he wauted ine to vote for the man who wouid be pro- posed, whether the name was Smith or what- ever i wight be. He _ gaid that he uid not want me “to disappoint them, because the thing had been fixed at a side caucus, and they wanted itto go through. He said he didn’t Know the name of the new man, but it was Captain somebody. I told him all right, to bring in theirman. Ate previous tune McChesney had coniplained that Watkins was not dving what he ought as Chief of Detectives. He said that if Watkins would tell what he knew he could send Russell, the private detective, to the penitentiary, but that Watkins was not disposed todeso. He told me to tell Watkins that it was to his in- terest to tell all he knew. I went to Frank (Watkins), and told him if he Knew anything ou Russell to tell itand not hold hack anything. He sain that he was going to tell the court all he Kuew, and wanted to know who was charging him with holding anything back. I wouldn’t teti him, The man Russell was a private detective who had gotten several prominent citizens into trouble by Diackmailing Operations. He was subsequently convicted and sent to the Work House, and I think Watkins told ail he knew avout him. Q.—Did McChesney speak to you at any other times about the Chiei of Detectives position? A.— I think ne spoke of it two or three times. He in- formed me each time that there would be a change at the next Board meeting. He asked me several times if I thought Watkius was straight. Ltold him l thought he was. It had been conceded that! had Kept Watkins in his position fora couple of months, so McChesney notified ine wher the change Was agreed upon and told ine that a new man was to be put in, and te look out and be on the right side when it came to voting. I said, all right; 1 had no candidate, and would vote for their man, supposing 6 Was man on the force. Watkins wanted m@ to charges preferred against himself, put I fold there were no Charges, that would be the mano there were any. Watkins was tho office of Chie! of Desectivescou.c time in April. Kerwin said he was hot sateiied With the de- tective foree, and the Mayor said the same. urging that there should vea change. I siated that if iuere were any complaints against the detectives, I thought ¢ ought tobe preferred and a trial had. Still, since tere was dissatisfaction, I would consent to vote fur Watkins’ removal. He was removed, no charge being preferred. I think there was two or three meetings afler McChesney told me the chauge was to take place at the next meeting, before the matter of a new Chief of De- tectives came up. Before each meeting he told me the same thing—that the other Commissioners had agreed on a man without my Kuowledge, and he didn’t want me tobe in the dark. I think Watkins was removed two or three weeks before his successor Was appointed. McChegney told me the new man was a “captain,” and he would try to find out hisful: name and let me _ know. When the motion to vacate the place was carried, Dr. Lutz said he would how nominate a man who had had experience iu the position, Capt. A. . Stiles. Dr. Lutz and Mr. Kerwin discussed the matter, aud then Dr. Lutz asked me what I thought. 1 said 1 had hothiag to suy, but for them to go on and pat in heir man, “as had no candidate. r. Kerwin insf&ted on m speaking. 1 told them they had fixed it af up without me,and as they had three votes they might just as well go on and elect the man with- outme. Kerwin asked what I Knew avout Siiles. I sgid that was my Own private matter. hen asked if 1 would support him, I said I eould pot. because 1 had po confidence in him. MeChesney had previously denounced Stiles to me as a —- scoundrel, so. even if I wanted to favor McChesney, I would have felt bound to oppose him. The matter was discussed still further in the board aud J finally told them that if they appointed Siiles er would have to appoint anew chief of police. They remarked, or some one did, that I talked like a wooden man. and then Dan Kerwin suggested that Dr. Lutz go out and see the Chief avout it. Dr, Luta did go, and soon came back and said that I was right, ana that Chief Campbell had declined to serve with Stiles, saying ihatif the Board appointed Stiles he wanted them to wait long enough to accept his resignation. The matter was therefore post- poned, Nextevening | went by request to Me- Chesney's house and he asked me what the Board had done—whether they had madea chief of de- tectives. Il replied ‘No, but who do you suppose they proposed?’ Higasked, ‘Who?’ I said Why, that feilow Capt. A. J. Stiies and I wouldn't vofe forhim.’ Hereplicd,*’Why the-———~— Qo furhim! Youdid right. Keep himout!’ We talked a little more and he left. Next evening L met him again at his house, owing toa decoy note and he told me that he was mistaker as to that matter and that Stiles was the man they wanted. He said that while he wouldn't blame ine for not supporting bim, inasmuch as he had not told megihe fullname of the candidate, he how wanted me, however, to change about and bring the matter up at the next meeting. I pro- tested, saying they had three votes and couia do the work themseives. 1| told him, moreover. that he had tula me himself that Stiles was a scoun- drel. He stillinsisted that I should bring the matter up, saying the other Commissioners were afraid of we. 1 tuld him fivaily that while I would not support him, 1 would not, in case the matter was again brought up, offer any further opposi- tion to Mr. Stiles.

I told him I didn’t believe it. J told him, moreover, that Mr. McChesney didn’t own me.

All Belleville seeks to give all the outward manifestations of grief for the sad and horrible fate of the holy women and maidens who perished in the terrible fire of the Convent of the Immaculate Conception last Saturday night. The early morning trains from. St. Louis were crowded with triends and rel- atives of the dead anda members of the clergy who were escortea at once to the graud Church of St. Peters, which, an hour before the time for the commencement of the solemn service of the dead, was Goneety packed, The church, one of the largest In the State, will seat upwards of 8,000 people, and during the mass the aisies were densely crowded, There were perhaps 5,000 people in the building, and large crowds stood outside, while groups otf men and women were poticed all along the route over which the imposing cortege Das The chureh had been draped in mourning, THE ALTAR presenting a somber appearance, while entwining he massive pillars and hanging from the walls and galleries were festoons of white and black crape.

Seventy-five holy women, from St. Louis, sut with bowed heads before the coffins of their dead sisters, while to the right, twenty seats held the weeping relatives of the dead giris. The deep-toned bell in the tower tolled incessantly, while the people continued to pour inolw the church in a steady stream. At 10 @ clock, the clergy present, to the number of forty, cbanted the office of the dead, while the faithful Knelt in prayer. The celebration of the solemn pontifical requiem mass, was one of the most impsessive ceremonlals ever witnessed In the State. The venerable P. J.

Charles J0s- eph Zweisler of Alton, reetor of the cathedral then, delivered a most touching sermo being followed By Rev. Father Galler, rector of St. Peter’s and St. Paul, who spoke in German for ashorttime. At the conclusion of the sermons, the choir and clergy chanted the libra or absolution, Bishop Baltes again officiating. It was after 12 o’cloek when the sad rites were ended, and then a funeral cortege that will be memorable for years was formed. The sky was threatening and nature seemed ees weeping for the good and the young and beautiful, whom she was about to receive in her bosom. The route taken was lined clear to the city limits by citizens, most of whom stood wit uncovered heads while the cortege wound its way along towards Greenmount. The Rey.

The Markets, FORENOON SESSION, CLOSING AT1P. M. “I look for something of a boom to-morrow, and May wheat to sei! at $1 10,” remarked an opera- tor late yesterday. And there were several who thus thought and believed. But witbal ‘this belief there seemed to be some who had the nec- essary confidence to invest very largely on the long side of wheat. And there was nothing par- ticularly bullish hela out as an inducement to buy on. Receipts continued small, and naturally so, approaching the tag end of the crop year as we are, and, besiaes that, the delay arising from the late severe weather and snow to rail freight traffic. Outside of this the influences at work were bearish enough. There were no bad reporis from the crop, but the mantle of snow that overlaid the plant was a guarantee that the late cold term had net injured the crop. Instead of a large falling off in ihe visible, the decrease was iess than 1.000 bu, andit was thought that the next report would be comparatively small, too. Stocks were up to immense proportions all over the try, there was no encouragement held out re- read | from by Europe, and the prospect for (an legitimate demand and movement was very slight indeed. This morning’s public advices ngzlang were of duil wheat markets, and rivate cables reported weakness and unsettied eeling owing to failures in the trade. Chicago held up rightsiifly and eyen improved some in price, chiefly through the efforts of the | crowd, who were said to be buying and builing DOW so they could sell at higher prices r. The E ast was dull aud weak and New York eased off in prices eariy no withstanding the firmer West- ern Markets, Tradmg intbe 81. Louis market Was moderate, and the range to values small. May received most attention, it opening 1-16c off at $1 09,advancing 3-16c, but then weakeved off to $1 08%. later golng up to $1 09'4@%. but letung own some from this and closing at $1 09@%,, the same as yesterday’s close, while Jan- uary was saleable at le advance and February and March were (4c higher. Offer- ings of cash grades were very suall. Most of the 800,000 bu. stuck is held off the market sand receipts were insignificant. The.e was, however, only a light demand on tie call and buyers showed no pressure in their inquiries; but that millers wanted no No, 2 red was shown by sales of 5,000 bu. regular at $1 03% and a lot of 30,000 bu. in a —— — ae > 04. bo orn su rom about the same quie - ness that afflicted wheat, neith mg ten seeimlugly wot rid of the enlarg from yesterday’s exciting tim 71,477 | | 7.75. 27.000 | mMauy orders rec . these were and are were not many who Western markets speculation. had moderated very mugi: country indicated an inc ward.

May opened here ut 534, and Subsequently fiuc- tuated at 534% and 53%, but. with most saies at 53%, at which it closed. February brought 49, or %ec advance, and January sold at 484, to 453. Cash was firm and the mod- erate supply on sale Was readily purchased at generally higher rates, Nv. 2 mixed regular sold at 48% to a short, aud E. side receipts to shippers at 49. Rejected and new mixed were in shipping demand and higher. in oats there was a little more life, though the increased trading was confined chiefly to May.

There was no positive change to be observed, and the gen- eral tone and character ofthe various markets presented no new features.

Little or no difficulty was found in making transfers, and asa resuit the movement was active. Io butchers’ stuff the demand was rather light, aud the large run had a weakenuingeffect which it was thought would develop into a decline before the close.

LL ES THERE is nothing in Lord CHESTER- IELD’s letters more dignified and genteel han the subdued sorrow with which the irtuous MCCHESNEY acouses KINKEAD of aving betrayed his trust. Tue Supreme Court of Penrsylvania has ist decided that the railroad companies whing property in Pittsburg owe that city 263,000 delinquent taxes.

ASSESSOR MorTT says heis fining people ho waste water. Keep it up until the aste is checked. The eyes of the tax pay- 3 are fixed on Mr. Mort, and as heis an ergetic and plucky gentleman, we look to to render the public a real service. OXF Ulode-Democrat says that Payne is i leading spirit in the operation of one of 1@ most powerful and offensive of modern onopolies.’” So direct a charge should be istained by direct proof, but we challenge i¢ Globe-Democrat to prove what it says, Tas destruction of the music stand at Co- ‘y Island would be little less than a nation- misfortune were it not for the certainty at it would be replaced by next summer. here are many useful things which this untry would rather spare than the super- ilties of Coney Island. We take the liberty of giving our Repub- ‘an friends a “‘pointer.”” Some of them are ming out with the information, evidently ‘om inspired sources, that “LOGAN has the ldier vote of Illinois,” or that BLAINE is magnetic.”’ Our pointer is this: That no an who legged for the White House ever it there. SENATOR VEST says no man regrets more an he the defeat of PENDLETON. He ys also that the newspaper story about s speaking for PENDLETON’s seat in ticipation of his defeat, grew out ofa tle joke which he and PENDLETON put up Capt.

All the horror excited by this Belle- ville tragedy does not give uffany protection against a recurrence of it. CH1caGo’s Mayor has notified the Exposi- tion Company to vacate the premises, all ef- and the company having failed. It was in this Exposition building that the next Re- publican Convention was to beheld. Hay- ing been deceived and disappointed in re- gard to the building which influenced their decision in favor of Chicago, the Republican National Committee should lose no time in changing the location of their convention to St. Louis, which is the proper place and the best place for the National Conventions of both parties. A disposition to get further West than Chicago for once in its life, might give the Republican party a little boom ina sec.tion where it has been losing ground rap- idly, much to Germany and France as we buy from them, are quoted to warn us that ina war of commercial retaliation they can -hurt us as much as we can hurt them. This is one of those cases in which figures are mislead- ing. We sell nothing to those countries but food and raw materials, which they cannot do without, and the total exclusion of which would involve them in industrial troubles more calamitous than war. They sell us hardly anything but toys, gewgaws and luxuries, which we can do without, or for which we can find tolerable substitutes else- where. But they are not going to put this matter to the test. When they find thht we will not submit to their unreasonable dis- crimination against American pork, they will promptiy modify it. THe New York WorRLD questions our statement about the Czar of Russia being a richer man than VANDERBILT, and speaks of the Czar asa comparatively poor man. The private fortune of the Czar was estimat- ed ina British Consular report of 1867 to produce a revenue of $12,500,000, and he is allowed an extra $7,000,000 for his household expenses. His private property covers about amillion square miles, exclusive of a few mines in Siberia, and his palaces, jewels, works of art and bric-a-brac make VANDER- BILT’s Fifth avenue palace a bauble. There is this to be said, however, thatthe New York Czar is gaining rapidly on his Russian cousin. The RoMANOFFs have been water- ing their stock and freezing out their sub- jects for several hundred years, while it has taken the VANDERBILT dynasty only a quar- ter of a century to rise from modest comfort to rival the wealthy imperial houses of Eu- rope. Itis not pleasant to think of whata comparison will show in twenty-five years. As the notices of the dismissals of the State Bank cases have been accompanied by various explanations of the reasons why, it may be just as well to mention that the sud- den closing up of the National Bank of the State of Missouri was one of the most stu- pid of all stupid blunders. and a blow to the prosperity of St. Louis. The bank had im- paired its condition, technical violations of law had been committed, but nothing was gained, or could be gained, by the knock- down and drag out policy. The securities the bank held were recovering in value, and the fact that the creditors have received the full amount of their claims, even though some of the bank’s assets have necessarily been sacrificed, is a proof that if the bank had been allowed to continue no one would have lost a cent. At one blow seven millions of dollars of available banking resources were struck off from the resources of St. Louis. Looking back on the record, St. Louis should feel more like indicting the trouble-mongers who threw the bank into bankruptcy than the directors, whose mis- takes were neither so gross nor injurious, In his letter forwarding Police Commis- sioner KINKEAD’s resignation, Mr. WaArR- REN F, McCHEsNey pathetically wrote to the Governor: “AsIhave been the sewer for others to run their filth through. I now desire to place myself on record in this case, that, should an exposure of his doings occur, the responsibilities are not with me.” This to the Governor, as if the writer and the Gov- ernor both knew that McCuresnry was re- sponsible for KINKEAD’s appointment—that the Governor had appointed KInKEAD and would oust him to please McCurEsney, the man who had been “a sewer for others to run their filth through.” The frankness with which McoCuEsney refers to the Gov- ernor’s knowledge of his reputation is as charming as the naivete with which his Fx- cellency bestirred himself in harmony with all the implications of the McCursney let- terto maintain and deodorize the sewer aforesaid, and to clear it ot all such ebstruc- tions 4s KINKEAD. The latter swears that McCuESNEY promised him the place, and got it for him, and that the Governor codp- erated with McCursnrey in forcing him to resign as soon as his course became unsatis- factory to McCuesney. It all makes a lovely picture of high-toned administration —just too pretty for anything! Lt oe a ee SENATOR SHERMAN is another prominent public man who is offered a great corpora- tion prize, the presidency of the Northern Pacific. Neither our Government nor our people can reward the fidelity of statesmen with riches, titles or patents of nobility to endow their descendants with hereditary privileges. But our great corporations can do more for them than Win.ram the Con- queror ever did for any of the barons that helped kim in his conquest of England. It is not strange that inany of our public men are dazzied ipd inflaenced by the prizes of corporation ve, and power. SHER- forts towards a compromise between the city. Fiaures showing that we sell about as MAN admits that he is sorely tempted, but poses in the attitude of a resist- ing martyr, solely, say his friends, because his party would lose a Senator if he should resign now. It will occur to many people, however, that the Senator’s pre- emption claim on the Republican nomination for President in 1884, growing out of the fact that the party must carry the Octo- ber State of Ohio to win, has a good deal to do with the heroism of his present attitude. As President of the United States he might make the presi- dency of the Northern Pacific better worth having, and step out of the White House into a position better than any now open to him. The partnership between those who control corporations and those who control politics in this country is becoming closer every day. Gen. John Cochrane’s Conversion. From a New York World Interview. “Why, long before the war I wasin Tammany Hall. I was at one time chairman of the General Committee. I was elected to Congress on the Tammany Hall ticket from the oid Seventeenth Ward District.” “And pow youreturn to the Democratic party and to Tammany Hall?’”’ “Yes, and I will briefly tell you why. The principles which have controlled my political life are those of the Democratic school in which 1 was educated.+ I diverged from the Democratic party on account of its course in respect to the late war. Il continued fora number of years to act with its adversary under the force of associa- tion and political habit. But the issues of the war and those raised by its results have arifted from the stage of action into political oblivion. The views of the Republican party of to-day are the views that I have aiways antagonized.” “Then your refusal to act any longer with the party is on national and not on local political grounds?” “The position that I now occupy is simply this: The Republican party practicallygadvoeates a prote ctive tariff. I believe in a qmriff for revenue only, or, in other words, a judicious tariff. I al- so see plainly that in the coming contest between capital and labor the Republican party is com- mitted to the interest of capital and monopolies and against the vital interest of the classes whose separate labor constitutes that very eapital. The Republican party and capitalists seem to be per- sistent in their efforts to be the oppressors of popular righis upon which our scheme of consti- tutional government is founded. It is also my opinion that the tendency and measures of the Republican party are towards a centralization of power inimical to the theory of our government and menacing in the far future its existence. These are a few of the reasons which have prompted me to become once more a Democrat. I have not left the Republican party. It has left me. lam standing by my princ/ples.” — ——— Ohio’s New Senator. Cleveland Cor. New York Heraid. The principal charge that is brought against him, however, is that he is the choice of the Stand- ard Oil Company. This with many ts the unpar- donable sin, ana there is no doubt thatitis hav- ing its effect. Here in Cleveland, where he is best known, and where his affairs are thoroughly un- derstood, this charge is ridiculed. Those who are familiar with his business affairs know that he has no more to do with the great monopoly than has Mr. Pendleton. He never was in any way in- terested init, nor itin him. One of his sons, how- ever, is an active member of the Standard Olli Company. and this circumstance may haye had much to do with this report. Another son, who was formerly Mayor of the city, is and has been engaged for years inthe development of coal lands. When he was elected Mayor there was an agitation of the temperance question here, and the saloon-keepers’ vote elected bim and the whole Democratic ticket. When the father, H. B. Payne, was elected to Congress in 1874, the women’s crusade camein as the disturbing ele- ment, and lie weut to the front by a handsome majority. In 1876 he was again a candidate, but was overwhelmingly defeated. The Standard Oil Company existed at that time, and bis son was connected with it, as he isnow. Mad the father had its support, with its 5,000 employes, he would eerfainly have been elected. The company took no part for him, but, on the other hand, the super- intendent stood at the polls and worked against him. It is butjustto Mr. Payne that this state- ment be made, as the charge is the most formid- able weapon that is being used against him. — a ee eee Huntington in Washington. Washington Correspondence of thejN. Y. World. In reality there is a regular panic among the members and Senators about this Huntington ex- posure. The virtuous indignation that is ex- pressed in every quarter where public men meet to talk bodes ilifor Huntington’s plans. He will hardly obtain any favors from this Congress. it is more than probable thatif he attempts to speak to the average Senator or Representative, the lat- ter would start on a dead run to get away from his contaminating presence, Thereisa very un- easy feeling among some of the older statesmen who were in Congress at the time the letters were written. One Western Senater said to-night: “What protection is there against this man? How dol know but what this creature -may have called on me sometime, and because I did not kick him out of my room he may have gone off and written one of his damned letters, saying that I was friendly to him.” The Senator added that he thought the only safe way for a public man was not to admit men with axes to grind to their private quarters. “I do not intend,” he said, to see a single man who wants to talk about rajl- roads or land grants. The minute one of these cusses opens his mouth to me on such a subject, I will tell him to get up and get.” The Painful Truth. From the Chicago Tribune. Reading over the accounts of the Belleville fire horror one does not know which is most to be condemned—the stupidity of the Belleville muni- cipal authorities, the utter inefficiency of their fire department, or the gross carelessness which char- acterized the management of the convent. There were no means of escape provided in case of fire for the pupils in attendance or the instructors. The building wasa fire-trap, and there was neither ladder nor fire escape. The means of exit from the building incase of alarmofany kind were absurdly inadequate. The question now arises, How many similar institutions without any better safeguards are to be found throughout the country where there are hundreds of young girls under charge of nervous women, incapabie of self-control in moments of panic, and where the conditions whieh lead to conflagrations are as dangerous as they were at the convent in Belle- ville? In many of our public institutions the pre- cautions against fire are far from being adequate. Those whose duty it is to protect life and property, by requirigg a thorough aud impartial enforce- ment of the law, will probably not move ijn this matter uptiiafew more'such horrors as that at Belleville have occurred. The Colored Man’s Organ. From the Courier-Journal. The New York Globe 1s the best edited apd most influential organ of the colored people in the country. Itis bouna by no blind allegiarjce to party, and speaks always boldly what it pb Heves for the good of its race. Its editor is Mr. Mhomas Fortune, an educated and able color ad man, whose servicesto his kind were reco nized jn Washington the other day by an elabor e dinner given in his honor by the leading colordc citizens of the place. “He believes,” says the Washington Post, “in revenue reform, in the abjuration of old partisan affiliations, ana in higher destiny for the colored people of this country than to be mere hewers of wood and drawers df water for Repub- lican cffice-holders and Republican office-seekers. He is a young man of education and ambition, who thinks for himself, and holds that every col- ored voter should do the same thing.” To have more teachers of this kind, and to heed their counsels, is the true way for the colored man to improve bis condition and elevate his race. An Enemy's View of Payne. From the New York Times (Rep.). Mr. Payne is as elearty identified with monop- oly in its most oppressive form as Mr. Pendleton is with reform in its highest and most practical shape. Mr. Payne, moreover, represents monop- oly, not only as a great commercial force, which, within the limits of actnal law, imposes itself upon the community to the obvious injury of all competing interests and to the great cost of the general public, but also as a force which is mak- ing itself felt in polities, which seeks a direct ip- fluence in Congress, and is seeking to make itself felt where alone a wholesome restraint upon its aggressions can originate. The contest which will be settled by the caucus which meets to- morrow night is one which will have a strong in- ffuence upon the future of the Democracy. From the stand-point of Republican partisans we might well wisb the success of Mr. Payne. We believe that the success of Mr. Pendleton would be far ‘? better for the country. Carlisie for President. From the Chicago Tribune (Rep.). After Mr. Carlisle has accepted the Senatorship, there is no reason why he should not go ahead and add the Presidency to his crowns. Garfield was at one time Representative, Senator and Pres- ident-elect, That isa precedent that will not es- cape the eagle eye of Mr. Carlisle. Since the Democrats assure us that we myst have a Demo- cratic President next time, we can not do better than to take him. Sume idealists may think that his election ought to depend upon his being able to show that he has actually procured the reduction of the tariff about which he has talked so well. But that is the view of extremists. Weare doing as well as we cah expect, to get a Democrat to look tariff-reform straight in the eye and call it by its name. To hope to see any of them actually reform the tariff in accordance with their talk is simply the wildest sort of utopianism. % “Makin’ Trubbil.” '| From the New York World. The brilliant leaaer of border Democracy, Henry Watterson, is moving East with his family to take part in the great work of whittling out the destinies of the Nation. He announces that he willabide in Washington and New York until next June, spending his time between organizing the movement which is expected to make Joseph E. McDonald, President and instructing the Ways and Means Committee of the House as to the new patches to be placed on the tariff laws. Mr. Wat- terson is a brilliant and genial gentieman, but the country is disposed to look upon him with some- thing of the distrust that filled the soul of the colored house-painter when he saw the hog root- ing around the bottom of the ladder on which he was standing, and which wrung from him the agonizing cry: “Go’way from dar; you’se mak- in’ trubbil.” POLITICAL PICKINGS. MR. BLAtNE keeps saying as Mr. Seymour did in 1868: ‘“‘Your candidate I cannot be.” NEW ORLEANS PICAYUNE: Grant is trying to work upathirdterm. He keeps befor@the peo- ple by sJipping down on the sidewalk. Mr. H. J. RAMSDELL says that Mr. Blaine can do aothingin Washington which his critics do not interpret injo a design upon the Presidency. CHICAGO TIMEs: Congresaman Buckner’s finance committee isin an interesting condition, and will soon present the country with a new lit- tle wootsy-tootsy rag-babv, If they could only trust him several Republic- ans would be greatly relieved by Mr. Blaine’s positive statements thathe will not bein the race for the party nomination. BOSTON TRAVELLER: Professor Perry of Williams College ina recent interview in Chica- go,said: “Massachusetts couid be carried by the Democrats to-day on the clean issue of free trade or protection.” The Professor lives in the back corner of the State or he would know bet- ter. Mr. WATTERSON, SR., agrees politically with his son, the distinguished Harry. Writes the former from Washington: “Itis fhe opinion of the Democrats with whom Ihave conversed on the snbject that Judge McDonald of Indiana will be the Democratic candidate for President. Amen, say I.” PHILADELPHIA RECORD: Col. Fred Grant has settled down in Morristown, N. J., with the inten- tion of running for Congress in that distriet next fall. William Walter Phelps, the present Con- gressmMan, expects or wants to bethe candidate for Vice-President on the Republican ticket, and is working up a small Grant family boom to help his own boom along.

Tue Rev. Dr. Henson, formerly of Philadel- phia, now of Chicago, sometimes delivers his lect- ures on “Fools” in Western towns.

CHICAGO ladies have peen known to go out and freeze considerable portions of their feet for the sake of showing off their sealskin sacques. THE Atlanta Evening Journal, to vary the monotony of society news, published a list of colored ladies who would receive on New Year's day. LITTLE Lorra’s agent in London has offered | $500 to any one who will get a duke to send an in- vitation to dinner to his American actress. Her business has been poor. A LADY passenger on a Connecticut rallroad threw a $500 seal-skin cloak over the back of the seat one day last week, and soon after discovered to her dismay that it had been stolen. AN 82-year-old lady, living in Steuben County, N. Y., is as much at home on a puir of skates as a young miss of 16 years, and her aged but graceful form may be seen most any time among the young folks enjoying the enchanting glides. “TEMPLETON” writes from Boston to the Hart- fora Courant: “The grand triumph of ali has been won by Madame Sembrich. The enthusi- asm she has evoked has far exceeded that aroused by Nilsson. The audiences have been wild with rapture over ber brilliant singing.” SPEAKING of Col. Bob Ingersoll and bis feml- nine coadjutor, the New York WORLD says: “He seemed to take great delight in hearing his sentri- ments expressed in soprano, and his diaphragm shook with satisfaction. Miss Gardner impressed her audience as a woman who could learn to whistle or sharpen a lead pencil if there was any money in it. WEALTH, fashion, and perhaps wit, were pres- ent at the New York charity ball, but it appears that beauty unfortunately was absent. New York Truth, which probably, in this case, tells it, says there was an overabundance of old ladies at the ball, and avery scanty supply of ycung ones. And Truth adds: “And yet the debut of a hundred comely maidens was promised at this particular pall. Itis evident the New York girls are not to have a chance until thelr grandmotn- ers die,” ‘ THE METROPOLITAN PRESS. What the Editors of the New York Journals Are Saying To-Day. By Telegraph to the Post-Dispatch, NEW YORK, January 10.—The WORLD says: “Mr. Payne was a hard-money mao and a defend- er of the faith of the pation, when Mr. Pendleton was proclaiming his greenback heresy among the hills of Ohio. Mr. Payne has been sound all his life on the tariff question, while Mr, Pendleton— so far as his opinions are known—hag been un- certain. Mr. Payne did not go to Columbus to seek the Senatorship, while Mr. Pendleton did. The one had the warm and enthusiastic support ‘ef his section, while the fiercest enemies of the other were his neighbors. Mr. Payne was a prominent figure in Democratic pelitics before Mr. Pendleton was Known. He came near being elected Governor of the State twenty-seven years ago, over Chase, the strongest man the Republic- ans ofthe State ever presented. He is a clear- headed, wise, cautious man, whose personal char- acter is absolutely above reproach, uy he will be a Valuable acquisition to the Senate.’ THE SUN. The Sun says: “It is an interesting and unex- pected fact that more than thirty esteemed and influential Democratic newspapers of the State have declared themselves, and are friendly to the nomination of Hon, Rosewell P. Flower, as the Democratic nominee for President. This isa Striking manifestation. So fur no other con- spicuous Democratic statesman has been honored by any such widely extended preference. Even our distinguished fellow townsman, Mr. Hewitt, cannot make such a show, though it is understood that Tammany Hall is in his favor. lt is also worthy of notice Fiower 1s opposed modern dogma of a tariff for revenue only. He ts a regu- lar Protectionist, like Gen. JacKsou and Thos. Jefferson. It isatimely question whether the free traders of Kentucky and Lilinols would cor- dially re Mr. Flower if he should finally be nominated.”’ THE TIMES. The Times says; “The result in Ohio has a double significance. Itisavictory for monopoly ana corruption and a defeat for genuine, con- sistent, efficient reitorm, It is the most telling fact in recent politics as to the value of the Dem- ocratic Opposition to monopoly and its advocacy ofreform. It only remains to say that the newly named Senator accurately and brilliantly repre- sents his party in the reve. ue question,” THE TRIBUNE. The Tribune says: “The Democratic rty re- a civil service reform. Mr. Pendleton had fteen votes out of eighty-twoin the Democratic caucus in Ohvw or less than one out of five. It would be giving the party more eredit than it deserves to say that this represents the propor- tion of reform sentiment among the Ohio De- mocracy.Mr. Pendleton’s fifteen votes were prob- ably due io personal influence and popularity. If any one Democrat can be produced out of the fifteen who cast his vote for Mr. Pendleton be- cause he fathered the Civil Service Reform bill, we should like to see him stand forth. On the other band, itis well Known that the men who stood by Pendleton freely and publicly apologigea for his course in that matter and begged votes for him in spite of it, not because of it, But more than that, bis opponents made that ‘mistake,’ as Judge Thurman confessed it to be, the chief ground of complaint against him.” ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS.

He takes the standpoint thatas Alcyone is the brightest star in the Pleiades, Aicyone is the central point around which our universe of fixed stars is re- volving. The Pleiades is simply & part of the consteilation Taurus (the Bull), in the Zodiae. As well might he select a bright star in the Northern or Southern constellations.

A MIDNIGHT RACE. — After a Couple of ‘Ramblers’ on a Foraging Expedition. - — —_— Mary Hogan’s Weakness for Wash-Tubs— The History of an Erring Woman Ending Her Days in the Slums. As officers Dunn and Ryan roundea the corner of Second and Almond streets at l1o’clock this morning, they surprised a couple of women who had crowded intu the recess of a dive door, where the darkness affordeda refuge. The officers saw the figures disappear out of the moonlight, and thinking they had subjects worthy of their shrewdness, they separated and began to close in on the doorway. The women discerned their ob- ject, and before the officers closed in on them, struck out Into the snow and moonlight, running at the top of their speed, and carrying dark object between them. became prabery - and the women burriedly abanaoned their load, which the officers, who almost fell into it, discovered was a wash-tub. The women were overhauled within another olock and taken to the station house in the patrol wagon. This morning they were ar- raigned before Judge Cady, when they gave their names as Mary Hogan and Annie Cvustello. As the officer passed ibe women in the dock he said, “so you’re drinking again, Mary?’’ “Yes, [’'m stealing again, and it’s the same thing. I’m going to get nours if I can.” A few minutes later the women were arraigned and pleaded guilty tw pilfering, and were given hours. As they pussed the row of officers on the way back to the dock one of the oid patrolinen said, “That woman’s case is just the same asthe Johnson case of Indianapolis, and I’m willing to bet my head that she’ll cover a slab in the Morgue one of those days. Her husband is now a wealthy farmer liying near Chicago with a family of her children. One night about two years ago, when she was mellow with Almond street whisky, she told me her story, and it sounded like reading apagefrom astory book. Sheisa well-informed Woman, and always wrote letters for the women in that locality, taking her pay out in whisky. Her husvand and little family were living in Quincey, lll. I think he was in business then in the city. She ran across her bad luck in the shape of a young fellow who visited her house agaiust the wishes of her husband. The result of this was that she ran away with him. He was some kind of a fair fakir, and after taking his pariner around with him one sumimer, he casther off. Her husband, she wid me, had broken up house- keeping a tew days after she left him and tukenu his ina ly up some place near Chicago. She COULDN'T GO BACK TO HIM, and even the women who were as bad wives as she was,aud who Knew of her wrong-doings, would not receive her.

CUT RATES. Status of the Impending Passenger Kate War To-day. The passenger rate warfrom Kansas City to New York, inaugurated py the Chieago and Alton and Rock Island Roads, is causing cousiderable excitement, and speculation as to what will be the oulcome in railroad circles, Mr. Chandler, general ticket agent of the Missouri Pacitic, bad not returned this morning [rom the tmneeting of the Transcontinental Association, although he was expected, but it was learned from cood authority inthe office that the cut had been met by all the roads running out of Kansas City to the East. The Missouri Pacific people say, however, that the cut amounts to nothing as yet. because there Is no travel just now from Kansas Clty to New York. What will come of itis a matter of speculation, as it may rest where it is or spread mito @ geveral rate war. Thecut is too small as yet to affect St. Louis travel, the difference be- tween Kansas City and Si. Louis being too sli¢ht to oreng, tickets to New York below regular prices. The local C. & A. officials have reecived no advices regarding the cut, the only change made by it being the opening of a route via Chi- cago, besides the West Shere, over which differ- ential rates may be sold, as orders have bee, is- sued to Union Depot agenis not to sell over the & A. two differeniial rate points. The cut amounts to only $4. reducing Kansas City recuiar me froin $37 Hana $3240 to $33 30 and NO MORE WATER FAMINE. The Corps of Inspectors Succeed in Stopping the Leak. The water in the Compton Hill Reservoir regis- tered four or five feet to-day, and no further trouble is anticipated. Mr. Moit, the Water Assessor, thinks if the system of surveillance adopted within the past few days is kept up awhile longer a wonderful increase in the water supply will be noted. Mr. Coleman and his force of forty men have shut of 962 places off leakage to date and have notified about 3.000 persons who have been recklessly wasting water. These men were engaged i) an emergency by Mr. Mott, after consulting with Mr, Whitman, without any uuthority on his part. His action, however, tas been commended by the Mayor and Col. Fiad, and the men will be placed on Mr. Whitman’s pay roll.

The acquittal at Hillsboro, Ill., of the defend- ants in the the Bund case will possibly have the effect of starting the cry that Miss Emma Bond is an linpostor who got three innocent men into the most serious peril with no otber motive than a craving for notoriety. Thatsuch a theory would do Miss Bond the greatest injustice is undeniably true even inthe face of the verdict of acquittal of Muntgomery, Ulementi and Pettus. But although Miss Bond’s innocence of any de- sign to bring herself into prominence is a great Gval clearer than the alibi eought to be estab- lished for her assailants, the case will serve for au appropriate text for a dissertation upon the ulunerous cases of hysterical femaies whe have at ope time and another been the subject of medi- cal investigation. Dr. J. K, Bauduy of St, Louis, who is one of the ablest of living neuroilagists, defines hysteria to be a disease of the nerv- ous system entirely compatible with a porreety healthy condition of the brain. ir. W. A. Hammond of New York, who has writ- ten a great Dumber of valuable treaties on the subject of nervous disorders, and has had more hysterical patients than perbaps any other single practitioner in the United States, enumerates a very great number of cases of hyste:ical mania, every one of which be proceeds to dissect in the most cold-bloeded men. On the subject generally he says: “AR important point connected with the mani- festations of hysterical mania is unreasonable and instinctive disposition which the subjects ex- hibit. There seems to be, with the majority of the — affected with the disease in question, an uveterate tendency to practice the most unneces- sary and illogical frauds,anpd to tell the most bare faced and improbabie lies, without any apparent object in view.or any purpose to subserve,unilegs it may be the satisfaction of the desire for notoriety, which ig so powerful afactor in determining the conduct of these people. In the furtherance of these purposes of deception they often do not hes- itate to accuse themselves and others of the Inost preposterous crimes.”’ He mentions the case of a young lady who was brought to him, who had made her family believe that she had been swallowing pins and needles daily fora greatlenzgth of time. On examining her he touod a number of piusgsticking in various parts of her body, but none in apy Vital part, and allofthem with their heads outward, He ex- tracted them with ease, and calmly told his pati- ent that she wasan impostor, and twat she Knew il, Being thus eonfonrted the girl owned up that she stuck the pivus in the places where they were found, and that she did so svulely for the purpose of geiting herself into the newspapers. That not all of his patients were actuated by a desive for notoriety, but were hovestiy suflering from nervous disorders, THE FOLLOWING INSTANCE, which is related in this own language, wiilshow: “A young lady from a Western city Was brougnt Lo me in the winter of 1861-82. She had had repeated couvulsive seizures, aivended by delirium, wiich, from the description given, were easily recoguizabie as being Altacks OF Dys- tero-epilepsy. Atone ume she leapea from her bed, rushed lo the window, and would apparently have jumped out had she hot been arrested. Then she struggied violently, at the+ same tume eiying out: ‘You shallnot! Iwill not aliow it! No, ud! Ob, why isitso? Keep off, I say! Do you want me te Killyou? Take him away; take him away!’ Then suddenly chauging ber de- eanor and expression to one of intense pieasure, she wert quietly back to bed and soon fell asleep. When she awoke she had entire consciousness of all that Wok place after the eplleptoid seizure, She said she had imagined that when she leaped from the bed sume men Were altacking her faiher in the court-yard below, aud tuat be had called to her tor help; that then the men had attacked ber, and had ofiered ber various indignities, which she did hot specify, Dut tue character, of which may readily be inferred, and fiflaily some friends had come to her relief.” The cases which, however, have excited Dr. Hamimnond’s greatest inierest and which he has been at the most pains to expose are the so-called FASTING GIRLS OF HISTORY, In «@ little book written and published by Dr. Hiammoud in 1879, anent the Miss Mollie Fancher case of Brousiyu, N. Y., he enumerates most of the fastiug gitis oft history, beginning with the nun of Leicester in 1225 and ending with Miss Fancher aforesaid. He declares every one of these females to be a humbug andalhar. Among the strikinz cases of abstinence in modern times is that of Margaret Weiss, a young girl 10 years of age who lived at Rode, a small vii- lage near Spires, whois saidto have abstained Irom alifood aud drink for three years, in the meantime going about just like other children. Dr. Bucoldiauus, a contemporary physician who had the wed.cal treatment of her, Was very much puzzied to account for her he ilthy condition, But Margaret was afraud, anyhow. Appolonia schreira was another faster, wio gave her fellow towns -peopie.! Berne an opportunily to wonder over the problem how she had Indanaged to Support ilie lor two years Wwilli- out eating or drinking. Katherine Binder, of the. Palatinate, had the distinction of being guarded by “a clergyman, a statesinan and two doctors of medicine,” but whether she kept the quartette const intly by her side during tie hive years tgat her alleged fast continued tie clrouicies doFnot state. A girl uained EVE FLIEGEN of the town of Meurs, in the Netherlands, dis- tanced all competitors by fasting fourteen years, that is from 1597 t0 1611. Eve. in the opinion oft Dr. Hammond. appropriates the entire bun-pro- dueing establishment. Among comparatively recent cases is that of awoman of Sudbury in Staffordshire, Eng., bamed Ann Moore, who got herself discovered Lo be a frand by her persisting in demanding to be Waiched by a committee of her towusmen, After she had submitted tothe test for nine days, during which she utte rly abstained, she was warned that she was sinking, and then she didthe sensible thing—acknowiledged that she Was a fraud and saved ber life by laking to ber meals like the rest of her neigibors. A sad story Is told of little Sarah Jacobs of Liantihan- gei, Ar-Arth, iu ,.Wales. Sarah was bora on May 12, 1857, and died of starvation on December 17, 1869. Although a mere child she was a willing partuer toa deception which her inhuman par- ents practiced upon the wortd for purposes of gain, Ley pretended that !or two years.i.e.. from the beginuing of October; 1867, up to the time of ber death, sue had eaten votulng,but this state- ment was true of only the jast nine days of her short life, during which period shawas waichea by a committee Of physicians and professional nurses from Loudon. Finding that she was aec- tually dylug of Inanilion these people tried to in- duce the girl’s father (o adimit the fraud and give their child food.

STIGMATIZATION. Palma @’Oria, an Italian, and Loulse Latean, a Beigian, are two women who, besides Claiming to have abstaived trom tood for au ulvaLUrally long time, aiso gained fame by holding out tbe state- ment that they were stigmatized, i. e., marked in a miraculous manner with the wouuds received by Obrist tthe crucifixion, Palma was alivein 1871. Shetold ber physician, vr. Imbert-Gour- beyre, that she had eaien noting for seven years bul that she was obliged to drink frequent y on account of the great internal leat which like 4a re» consumed _siher, She then drank in his presence two corafes of water atoue time, and the doctor states that “this water became so hotin her stomach that it was vomited boiling. She also had often ejected from her mouth oil, and another fluid of a balsam- ic Character, 10 Which, in standing for some time bouies resembling the consecrated host were formed.” On Various parts of her body hemor- rhagic spots appeared, which she so managed as to couvey the ldea that they were symbolical of various holy things. Ou the back of her hand she convinced Dr. Imbert-Gourbeyre that she bled in the shape of the cross. She would go into ecstasies at stated ntervais of the day. At the moruing eestasy she would pro- trude her tongue, and on it would be seen a en- charist, which sle said had been deposited there miraculously by the Savior himself. Dr. Ham- mona concitides, concerning Palma: 1. That she had, probably, ata former period contracted a loathsome disease. 2, That she was slightly hys- terica!. 3. That she was tne subject of” purpura hemorrhagia, and, 4. Tuat she was a most unmiti- gated humbug and a War. CONCERNING LOUISE LATEAU the stigmatized Belgian seamstress, whose case stirred both the theological and scientific worid of Europe, Dr. Hammond's stricwures are no less severe. Louise’s manifestations occurred after she had passed her 18th birthday, and continued up to ber death last year, when she was about 33. dep?

The conclusions arrived at by Dr.Wralomont were that the stigma- tizations and ecstacies of Louise were real, aud tu be ie eee upon well-Kuown pysiological ang pathological principles, and that her pretense of abstaining from sleep and food was a sham.

The Sad Fate of Lieut. J. P. Augar—Asylum Escapade and Death. By Telegraph to the Post-Dispatch, New York, January 10,—Lieut. J. P. Augur, U.8.N.,who was placed in the Bloomingdale Asyium on December 7th while suffering from temporary insanity, escaped at about 3 o’ciock yesterday. Four hours later his dead body was found on the west side of the boulevard, just be- low Tenth street. Lieut. Augur was affiftted with nervous prostration, the result of trying pro- fessional duties while on an Aretic cruise in the steamer Alliance searching for the Jeannette, At times he was quite rational and conversed coher- ently, but at other times he was seized with vio- lent spasms, and was often almost uveontrolla- bie. He occupied aroomon Hall7in the north- east wing, first floor, The window was defended by the usual There were eleven other patients on Hall No. 7 tn charge of an attendant. A man named Dana was stationed in the hall at night, and every hou the watchman in his rounds yisited the northeast wing. About forty-eight hours previous to Jues- day nightthe unfortupate officer had had fre- quent spasms of excitement, aud, as he was a large, powerful man, he could not be restrained only with great difficulty. He had not slept for two nights. As he became calm Dana thought it safe to leave him aloue, but stili watched hii fre- quently. A few minutes before 3 o'clock Tuesday morniug the attendant wentinto the roouw and made Lieut. Augur AS COMFORTABLE AS POSSIBLE. Dana leit the room, returning a while later to find the window guard broken, the sash raised and the prisoner gove. Dr. C. H, Nichols, the medical superiu- tendent, was aroused, and a large force of cg eg clang and attendauis begau a search throug the uring rain. The police officers in the neighbor- ood aided them. There was a dense fog, which the feeble gleams of lanterus carried by the party po only for a few paces. The grounds, tle vievard aud the adjacent streets and avenues were searched unavailingly until an officer found the body of the missing man, entirely nude and stone dead, on the boulevard near One Hundred and Seventh street. The body was taken to the asylum and the coroner notified. When asked wiut was the cause of the death, Dr. Nichols said: “it is difficult to tell ex- actiy, but lthink the immediate cause was ex- haustion from nervous prostration, aided by the recent paroxysms, sleeplessness aud exposure lo a | cold and rain.” he deceased was 31 years ola and unmarried. He was the sou of Brig.-Gen. Chrisiopher C. Augur, United States Army, now commanding the epartment of the Missuuri, with Deadquarters at ort Leavenworth As an officer on the ship Alliance, Lieut.

A Lowell Woman With Two Lovers and One Husband. From a Special to the Cincinnati Times-Star. LOWELL, Mass., January 4.—Yesterday afternoon at Andover, a small village about five miles north of this place, a woman named Lizze Jackson, her busband, and a man named Thompson met their deaths in a peculiarly tragic, though, withal, funny manner. It seems that Mr. Jackson, before marrying, had gncoerages Thompson to an extent that led him to believe he bad gained the woman’s affections, but when he pro- posed marriage. she deliberately threw bim over, and in a few months after married Jackson. Thompson was Naturally wild over this, but manifested no 1.1 will. Wednesday night he walked three miles through a heavy rain storm, and asked for- admittance at the Jackson House. He was not cordially welcomed, but Mr. and Mrs. Jackson, though surly, did not refuse him shelter. Thompson said he was going to Lowell to buy cloth, but as it was storming hard he would stay with the Jacksons all night. He occupied the spare room, but in the dead of the night Jackson awoke and found his bed had two inmates besides him- self. He arose quietly, struck a match and saw enough to inflaine his anger to the great- est depth. Seizing a chair, he was about to prostrate the intruder forever, when the latter, who was no other than Thompson, awoke suddenly, realized the situation, and sprang upon Jackson. Being stronger he quickiy vverpowered him. The woman awoke and interceded for her husband, and Thompson thereupon content- ed himself with binding him to the foot of the bed for the night. Yesterday morning a council of war was held, lasting until atternoon. Finally it was | decided that Thompson should give the out- raged husband satisfaction in the followin unique manner: Along silk handkerchie was to be twisted around his neck twice, and Jackson was to give three turns to it only. If Thompson choked, the feud was to be ac- knowledged as settled; if he did not choke, he was to have achance at the -husband’s neck on the same terms. Thompson did not choke on his trial, but he choked Jackson to death. On seeing this, Mrs. Jackson took a revol- yer from a sheifand shot Thompson dead. She then turned the weapon upon berself and Jodged a bullet in the base of the brain, through the mouth, The noise of the shot attracted a neighbor, who hastened to the scene and found Mrs. Jackson lying in her blood and Thompsoninadying condition. Mrs. Jackson’s ante mortem statement was taken and revealed the facts above related. All the parties in the horrible tragedy had hitherto lived in apparent peace, and the ea- tire neighborhvod is aghast at the sudden and terrible ending of what was considered an every~iay romance. A WOMANS STORY. The Alleged Way in Which Her Present Hiusband Married Her. From the New York Commercial Advertiser. Canfield F. Barlow some time ago brought an action in the Courtof Common Pieas to have his marriage with Emma J. Barlow annulled. In his complaint Mr. Barlow de- clared that he was warried to the defendant , on the 15th of October, 1879, by the Rev. G. 'C, ttoughton, at Hoboken, N. J. They | lived together until the 25th of November, | 1880, when, he alleged, he aiscovered that the marriage was void, and then he ceased ito live with her. Previous to his. marriage with Mrs. Barlow he said that she had been married about September 7, 1876, to Thomas W. Cottreli by Rev. Charies F, 'Deems. He swore that when he married the defendant Cottrell was still living, and had never been divorced from his wite, and in consequence Mr. Barlow asked that his mar- riage with ber should be deciared void. Mra. Bariow, iv an answering allidavit, tells a dif- ferent and somewhat remarkable story. She avers that when she was married to Mr. Cottrell, Mr. Barlow wasa friend of the family, and frequently visited them. For two years prior to the time she married him he called upon her and seught her hand in marriage. Finally he told her that her husband was untrue to her, and he expressed great sympathy for her, saying that she should never have married Mr. Cotirill. He told her that she ought to sue Mr. Cottrell for divorcee, and lie would furnish her with the means to assist lier in procuring the divorce, She refused to listen tu the charges against her husband, but was finally persuaded that they were true, and upon the advice of Mr. Barlow she commenced action for divorce in the Supreme Court against her husband. Mr. Barlow procured a wreat deal of the testi- mony, and the case was. sent toa referee. | Her husband did not appear to deny the charges. On July 17, 1878, she was informed that the referee had decided in her favor. Mr. Barlow told her that this was true, ind he said he had paid ail the fees. She, taking for granted that the case had been decided in her favor, and supposing that she was free to marry again, gave her consent to be- come the wife of Mr. Barlow. Subsequently she learned that her first husband was look- ing for ber, and about the same time, to her astonishment, she ascertained that she had _neyer been divorced from him. Judge Van Hoeson to-day denied the motion, saying that he 18 not satisfied that Mr. Barlow can Mr. Bariow’s A Coming Dividend. From the Wall Street News. Last fall, when a would be purchaser of railroad stocks called upon Russell! Sage, and asked him regarding the outlook of certain stock, Mr. Sage repiled : “Splendid idea! Tuat stock is certain to raise 15 per cent.” “Upon what do you base your calcula- tions?” “Upon the immense crops to be moved along that line.’’ The other day the same gentlemen again interviewed Mr. Sage regarding the same stock, and the great financier replied. “Best outiook in the worid for that stock! Certain to advance 15 per cent.’’ ‘Do you base yeur calculations upon last fall’s craps?” “No, sir; it’s going to be an open winter, and the line will save enough in soow-plows to declare a dividend of 5 per cent.’’, A New Telephone Girl.

A Democratic Oongressman Defends and Explains the Ohio Platform. To the Editor of the Sun: Sir—I feel myself compelled to contro- vert the statement that as regards the tariff the platform of the Ohio Democrats in 1883 is vague “and may bear a double con- struction,” tbe Ohio platform, in the first place, lim- its the tariff to the “‘necessities of the Gov- erpinent econemicaily administered.’”’ There is certainly no vagueness there. Next, it explicitly lays down the principle that, in the application of the tariff, it shall be so ad- justed as to “encourage productive indus- tries at home, but not to create or foster mo- nopolies.’” Is there any ground for a double interpretation here? The difference between encouraging home industries and fostering monopolies is very distinct, ‘To iliustrate: Suppose the actual difference in the cost of producing steel rails in this country and in England. as jabor and other things now stand adjusted, to be $10 a ton. Then a tariff of $10 a ton, by putting our own steel industries on a viane of equality in com- peting in our market with the foreign prod- uct, would encourage the production of steel rails at home. Twelve dollars a ton would be more encouragement, and it can be shown that when the tariff is but slightly above the difference in eost of production, the importer, in order to get into our market, will cut down his own profits, and tothat extent be, and not the consumer, pays the uy. ow. if the tariff is not carried above, or much above, the line that marks the differ- ence in cost of production, there can be no monopoly. This, lL think, is evident enough to anybody. But if the actual difference in cost of production is but $10, and the tarilf were made $30 a ton, then it would enacile the Amalgated Steel Association to combine and put the price of steel rails to a point just under the importing price. That would be creating and fostering a monopoly; or, in other words, lending the aid of legislation to enable one class to levy charges upon an- other. It can be shown, too, that up to the point 1 have indicated, labor would derive the larger share of the benefit arising from such a tariff. But, above that point, capital alone would be benrfited. Hence, in the Ohio platform the difference in the cost of producing commodities, as things at any given time stand adjusted, is wade the datum line from which to work in tite adjustment or the tariff, and the guiding principle laid down is enc. uragement ol! “productive industries at home, but not to create or fester monopolies.’® This principle differs fundamentally from that of ‘‘a tariff for revenue only,” as it does from the ‘*max- imum revenue principle,” in the Walker tariff system. The different principles, as variously ad- vocated, stated together age: 1. “A tariif for revenue only;” that is a tariff levied with a View to revenue only, and witheut regard to consequenves, only that the required revenue be produced. Such a tariff may, I think, be fitly designated as a tariff without intelligence, inasmuch as it calls for no intelligence, and adinits of none in the application of a tariff, except what is necessary to bring ip the required amount of revenue. 2. The maximum revenue principle. The tariff to be levied on nothing above the point that will bring the greatest revenve. This is known as the Waiker principle. 3. A tariff so adjusted in its application as to encourage productive industries at home, but not to create monopolies. 4. A tariff for protection, without regard to revenue. The first and fourth principles are, one the extreme view of some Democrats and the other the extrewe Republican view. ‘The difference between the second and the two have sometimes been founded, but the difference is nevertheless very distiuet. The maximum revenue that can be derived from any imported article is tlie product cbtainable by multipiying the quan- titvimported by the tariff rate. But this rule will always, and necessarily, require a tariff below the protective or encouragement point. Thus if $10 a ton is the difference in the actual cost of producing steel rails here aud abroad, then nothing under $10 a ton tariff will be protection enough to put our own steel industries on a footing of equality in competing for the home market. But this is not the point of maximum revenue. With a tariff of $10, on the supposition that this covers fully the difference in cost, half or more of the home consumption wouid be suppliedfrom the home product. If the whole annual consumption is 2,000,000 tons, and say only one-fourth of this comes in as a foreign product and pays the duty of $10, then the revenue derived would be $5,000,- ooo. But if the tariff were lowered to $7 50, aud under thie tariff a million tons came in, the revenue would be $7,500,000; and if a tariff of $5 a ton would give to the foreign manufacturer the entire market here and 2,000,000 tons should then come in, the rev- enue would be $10,000,000. ‘hus itis plain that the point of maximum revenue is always,and necessarily, below the protective point. The Ohio platform squarely adopts the princivie of encouragement to home indus- tries, but so guarded as not to build up mo- nopolies as the true principle, and makes the difference in the cost of production, as thing: may stand adjusted at any given time, the datum line to work from in the ad- justment of the tariff. Nor is this platform fairly open to any other interpretation. It gays all the time, keep the tariff at least up to the line that marks the difference in cost of production, whether that dillerence arises from better paid jaboror other legitimate cause, Unless in specific cases there 1s good reason for gulng below tiat line. ‘There is no monopoly in that, and it is thoroughly gound in principle. Tt is a tariff with intelli- gent protection, not merely incidental. A tariff with inciaental protection in the sense of “as it may happen” is but little better than a tariff for revenue only. What ts wanted is a tariff for revenue sufficient only for the economical administration of the Government, but adjusted on the principle of intelligent or reasunabie protection and encouragement to productive industries at home. Jariff reform on this — principle, whenever it is possible, will be welcoined by the country, and that is the princt le of the Ohio platform. A. J ABNER. Washinaton, December, 1533.

Artists are supposed to be naturally ro- mantic. Perhaps they are; but it has yet to be‘demonstrated that they asa class fall in love more readily than other men. And yet one is continually hearing of affairs d’armour among the knights of the brush at Paris, They rarely become enamored of their models—that is, rarely seriously enamored. Models are not as a rule, of a lovable or lov- ing kind, But there was a case of true love between an artist—we will call him Palette rather than use his own name—and a damsel who sat for him in “‘figure pieces.” He was an American, young, whole-souled, and successfully rising. She was an Al- sacienne, young, handsome, and _ poor- er than the proverbial church mouse. Her parents had Jost their little porperty in the Franco-Prussian war when the hungry German gobbled up the fair Provinces of Alsace and Lorraine. Rather than swear fealty to the Kaiser they had sacrificed everything and fled, eventually turning up in Paris, where they had managed to wring out a meagre living in various honest ways, pargnerite, the daughter, had been endowed by Wature with a splendid face and form, and she was as good as she was beautiful. By and by her father was disabled, and the mother had to deyote to him her constant care, so that on Marguerite's shoulders feil the burden of supporting the little famiiy. Ail went well tor a waile and then bad times came. There was nv work to be had, A friend of the family, one Mons, N., a ire- quenter of the studios, suggested sitting for the artists, No! It could not be thougnt of, At last necessity compelled some action. I'bere were stern Jandlords and implacable tradesmen to face. Palette was looking for amode! He was painting a classical pic- ture. He wanted an Athenian gir!, but he could not find any one who satisfied him in the Greek costume. He pressed N., whom he knew well, and N. pressed Marguerite, who, in the end, consented. Palette was en- chanted. The very thing; and he painted away fur dear life. Sumehow the picture Was an unconscionably long time in the finishing—there was always something to be done to the figure of the Greek girl. And Palette was a capital talker, and he drew frou Marguerite her history. First she had his sympatho; then his friendship. She sat for him often in other pictures. He assisted her iamilyin various ways,and he _ dis- covered tuat she was a very uncommon girl. Lo make a long story short, he loved her; devotedly, too, and she loved him. And they were married, of course? No! There is no happy ending to this tale; there was no ring ol:merry bells. Marguerite fell ill and died. And Palette? ‘Vell, he will never marry. He keeps her memory sacred. He paints with a sadder and more effective touch now, and peopie say there is a won- dertul deai of heart aud poetry in his work. He supburts the motner and makes her old age free fromcare. The father died not long after his daughter. [tis a sad story; itisastory of romance, but such things show the better nature of our race. Lincolnp and the Speeds. Washington Letter te tne Louisville Courier-Journal The late Joshua F. Speed, some years be- fore his death, gave me an interesting ac- count of his early acquaintance and inti- macy with Abraham Lincoin. One day Lincoln came into his store and _ said: “Speed, they want me to run for the Lezgis- lature. Whathave you tosay about it?” Speed replied: “Do you think that you can be elected?” Lincoln answered: *‘Well, the boys say se.” Very good,”” said Speed. **Go it and 1 will stand by you.” Lincoln was then deputy sheriff of the county. He told Speed that he wanted to study law, and thought from his pay in the Legislature he could save alittle money, which would en- able him todoit. He became a candidate, -and astonished the natives by his great capacity on the stump. His competitor had put a lightning rod on his house, and it was the only one to be found in all that region. ' Many roars of laughter did Linco!n raise by describing the fear of his opponent that God | Almighty would strike him for his wanifold sins of omission and eommissien. The elec- | tion resulted in Lincoln’s triumph. Eight or ten months after the Legislature adjéurned he again came into Speed’s store and said: “Speed, 1 have rented a law office and am to vy §2 a month forit.-l have counted up 10w much it will cost to fix up a bedin my ' office, and it will take just $17. Will you | credit me for that amount?” Oh, yes,” said | Speed, “but I think I ean put you ina way to save those $17. ‘“‘How?” ell, my part- ner and I have been sleeping in the same bed for some time. He is gune now, and if you wish, youcan_ take his place.’” Where is your bed?” “Up stairs.” Lincoln im- mediately went up, and, after surveying the room and the bed, came back and remarked; “Weil, Speed, Lam located.” Mr. Speed as- sured me that he and Lincoin slept together about fuur years. Such is a part of the early history of one of the most remarkable men of thisage. Whether whatl have related had anything to do with the appointment of the Hon. James Speed as Attorney-General of the United Staies I know not, But I do know thatif I had been in Mr. Lincoin’s place, and Joshua Speed had had a _ brother, as he had, who was qualified for that position, he should have been assigned to it, Certain itis that Joshua Speed was one of President Lincoln’s most intimate and cherished friends throughout his adininis- tration. Why His Attentions Ceased, From the Louisville Courier-Joarnal, An excelleat story is told about a young man whose attentions to a young lady be- came the subject of comment, She was his companion in his daily rides, and apparently they both enjoyed the propinguity. Sud- denly the rides ceased, and the qope fellow was asked the reason. He repjied that she had ealled him a jackass, and that he would not ask any girl to ride with him after that. The iady’s friends were shocked and asked for particulars. This was bis explanation: ‘You see, we have been so much together that | gaye out in topics of conversation, and when I took her out Jast Icouldn’t think of anything but the weather, and I said, ‘I believe it is going to rain, I tel a drop on my ear.’ She looked at_ me and careless! said, “hat rain is a half mile orf.’ Now, di not that mean I was a jackass with long ears? 1 have never been near her since. -_—-—— Trotting in Austria.

What Became of Those Who Were Fin. ally Pardoned. Washington Special to the Inter-Ocean. A gentieman in this city has receiveda number of inquiries by people wanting te know what became of the four conspirators in the assassination of Abraham Lin who were sentenced to Ne en pe at thé Dry Tortugas, After adiligent inquiry re- cently he has been able to ially furnish the desired information. It will be fresh news toa good many people. Dr. Samuel A. Mudd was the most prominent of the four. He was the one who set Booth's jeg and furnished what was believed to be false information to throw Booth’s pursuers off tha trail, Samuel B. Arnold, a wagonmaker, provided certain vehicles that were to be used in carrying out the plot. Edward Spangler, a stage carpenter, bored a hole in the box occupied by President Lincoln, through which Booth could observe the President’s position. Michael O’Laughlia was the youngest of the four, being a mere boy. His exact connection with the con spiracy does not appear, but from certain very conspicuous circumstances he was con- victed of complicity. They were all sen- tenced June 30, 1865, to imprisonment at Dry Portugas, Mudd avd Arnoid for Jife and Spangier and O’ Laughlin for six years, O’Laughlin was made ill b the fright and excitement of his arres and trial and never rallied. He died at Fort Jetferson, Fiorida, in September, 1867, twe years and three mouths after being convict. ed. On February 13, 1869, the President is- sued an order that his remains be delivered to his mother, and they were brought Norih aud interred. Just before his retirement President Johnson pardoned the rest, Dr. Mudd on the 8th of January, 1869, and Ar- neld and Spangler on the 1st of March, 1860. President Johnsen in his proclamation of par- don sets forth the reasons why it was grant- ed, While at Dry ‘Tortugas that part of Forida was visited by the scourge of yellow fever. Dr. Mudd was a successful physi< cian. He had had lung experience in treat- ing the disease, and had been very success- fui all through the plague; he was most une. tiring and efficient in his efforts to relieve the victims of the disease. The post medical ollicer Was stricken and died. Dr, Mudd im. mediately took charge of the hos’ pital and served most faithfuily until the plague had _ abated, Arnold and Spangier made themselves useful as nurses. They worked night and day, and strangely: enough*none of the three took the fever. Their cunduct during the epidemic was considered as a good and sutticient reason for their pardon. Dr. Mudd returned to his home near Surrattsvilie, Ald., where he resumed bis practice and died abouta yearandahalfago. Arnold and Spangier disappeared, and have never been heard irom since. | AMANDA HALL, — A Daughter of a Governor Rescued from the Work House. Dayton (Ohio) Cor. Cin. News-Journal. The romantic, but sad, career of Amanda Hal!, who was sentenced to the Work House last month, has just been brought to-light by the appearance of Councilman Linevin from Pittsburg, a relative, who rescued her from her degraded position and has taken her to his home. Amanda, who bas been known here only by an assumed name, is the daughter of a gentleman who was Govergor of this State, a member of the United States House of Representatives and Senate, and a distinguished officer in the late war. . Her father is now dead, and his deathis said te have been hastened by tne wayward lite of his favorite’ child. Amanda ossessed a enial disposition, and er rare eauty, accomplishments and exalied social standing caused’ her to be courted by leading gentlemen of the nation. She was the recognized belle of her native city, the capital of her native State, where she dwelt while her father-was Washington when she resided there. er parents desired her to marry a wealthy man whom she did not love, and to please them she promised towed him, but on the ap- pointed day eloped with a man named Pfaui, much her social and intellectual inferior, who afterward cruelly deserted her. She then wrote her parents, asking forgiveness and permission to return home, but they coldly turned her away. Alone, disheart- ened and penniless, she fell, and, as a last - resort, entered a house of ill fame in a West- ern city. She came here two years ago from Coluinbus, but drifted from bad to worse, aud for the last year was in the lowest dive in the Weat End. While here she became involved in a difficulty and was arrested for assault and battery, for which she was sen- tenced to the Work House. For the past two years her relatives have been scouring the couutry for her without success, but finally learned of her whereabouts from @ letter written by her te former friends ask- ing assistance. One of her sisters is the wife of a millionaire in Pittsburg, Easy Charity.

The Great Outlay Required in Pro. ducing a Melodrama. Figures Paid for the Princips! Successes in this Line—Big Profits for English Playwrights- A Popular Theatrical Investment. “Melodrama,” said a visiting theatrical man- ager to a Post-D1sPATCa reporter, “seems to be about the only kind of attraction that Is doing a steadily profitable business, All other amuse ment enterprises are suffering losses, if I except a few stars who are fast favorites and who can draw the public at any season.” “How do you account for this?” the reporter solution of the problem is this,” was the manager’s response; “there is a great deal of human nature in melo- drama, pictures of every-day life, portraits of characters the public can readily recognize and fully appreciate; therefore, itis popular, and a great deal more so than the artificial and over- wrought scbools that are in competition witb it. Then there is the spectacular element in the elaborate scenic investiture given it that always draws strongly.” : “A melodrama is a costly piece of property, isn’t ‘7 It takes a fortune 1n the first * 0. I should say s one, for the lace to get possession of nglish playwrights seem to have that field all to tuemselves, and auother fort- une afterward to produce it. Take the latest melodrama put on the New York siage, for instance, ‘Storm Beaten,’ which Messrs. Shook & Collier of the Union Square Theater broucht out afew weeks ago. The English authors got $10,- 000 fer their work, Shook & Collier paid $2.000 in coummissious to the middlemen who purchased the play tor them; then they put $9,000 Into scen- ery and $4,000 into incidentals, and | believe their sia'ement when they say the play cost them @uily $25,000 vefore the curtain went up on the first - formance, Tuey own ‘Tue Ligbts o’ London,’ whieh cost $17.000 to produce; at least, that is my recoileciion of the figures. Jiim Collier, by the way, is an Od St. Lovisan, I was talking with him the otherday when be told me wihat.a tough time he had bere twenty-six vears ago. Bateman, who was then managing the Pine Street Theater, brought him and a lui of young fellows from New ¢ York to work fora salary of $15 a week. Collier had a wife in New York, hao to provide his own wardrobe, and between looking out for clothes and the dear woman at bome, got such little con- solation fur himself out of the $15 a week tnat he considered bimself happy wheu he was sure ol ohe square meala day, and more than ouce had cause to biess Providence for the prox- imity of a luneh-counter saloun to the theater. Barrett wasa juvenile in that company. O. W. Bluke, now here, was alsoa member of it, and several performers, since become celebrities, formed puartof it. That was in 1857,the year Mutilda Heron madea great hit in ‘Oamille’ at Bateman’s.” *“*lo the Kanks,’ which Brooks & Dickson produced at ths beginning of last November, at their Standard Theater, since bUurved, Was an- other gorgeous cffort in the scenic line, with moving views after the manner of ‘The Sbaugb- raun,’ and cost fully $20,000 to produce. It was a wonderful piece of stage Mechanism, the scenes revolving so that in each of the last two acts three distinct pictures followed each other on the stage without the lifting of a ‘drop’ or the touch- ing of a wing, the scenes being rolled on and off as complete fo every detailas if carefully set be- hind the curtain. ‘In the Ranks,’ though like ‘Storm-Beateu,’ was nota New York success, It was taken off after four weeks and sent on the road. “This is a curious fact in regard to melodrama. It has never made money in New York. I saw ‘In the Ranks’ a dozen times, and, taking out the ‘paper,’ there was not a half-louse atanytime. I saw ‘Storm-Beaten’ the secood night, and the house was only balf-filled. even 10 this unfortuo- ate condition of things, the chairs being occupied mostly by professionals, who were of course dead beads. ‘Storm-Beaten’ 1s a gorgeous piece of scenic elaboration in nine tableaus, the most ef- fective being the crushing of a ship ip a sea of ice. Three acts are good, the rest very bad. I aw atraid Collier will never get bis money out of it, for it is an expensive Peco to put on the road, “»*The Strangiers of Paris,’ which has some ex- traordivary sceuic pictures aud is an adaptation ol Belot’s novel, Was pri duced at the same time with ‘In the Rinks.’ It was brought out at the new Park Theater, and the scevery alone cost $7,000, 1 don’t know what Charles Frohman paid Dave Belasco for the play, but being a home-made article, it did not, of course, cost as much as ap Engiish work. Altogether, I should say, ‘The Sirangier-’ cost Mr. Frohman iu the neighbor- hood of $14.000 to produce. It rau lour Weeks, and is now ju the big cities. “Sam Colville paid $7,000 for the play of ‘Taken from Life’ alone, aud it cost him as much more to put it on the stage. He has now ‘The Pavements of Pauris.’ the production of which will cost in the neighborhood of $17.900, Brooks & Dickson have a new play by Pellett and Sims. ‘Lords and Commons,’ they pay §$10.000 for the manuscript, and tt wili cost $10,000 more to get iton the stage. “The Romany Rye’ was as costly as any of them, ifs production necessitating an im- mense outivy of money. ‘Taken from Life,’ I should have told you, bas been shelved; nobody seems to wantit. ‘Tue Worla’ bas been set down at $20.000, put I don’t believe it cost so mnch. ‘The Silver King’ cost about $12,000; thatis my belief, but I am not certain.”’ “You see from these figures,” tne manager con- tinued “that melodrama is a pretty costly kind of amusement. Add to this the fact that ranning expenses are unusually large; that ne go penne is an enormous feature in the bill, and thata good company wiil command a salary lis. Of from $1,200 to $1,700, and you can form some idea of the money they must take in to make the business profitable. Still there is profit in it, and you will find large companies traveling with all kinds of hair-raising realistic playsof this class, while little $300-a-week companies, with fair society plays or seml-romantic dram 1s are afraid to gofar away from home, lest they may not be able to walk the dist ince back.” —_— sa: — isis THE THEATERS. The Wyndham company drew another fine au- dience at Pope’s last evening, the entertainment opening with a very charming domestic sketch, “A Household Fairy,” in which Mr. George Gid- dens ana Miss Kate Rorke were admirable. The ever popular “Brighton”? was the chief item of the bill and it was splendidly acted. Mr. Wynd- ham was in his lightest, breeziest mood as the much loved and many loving Bob Sackett, and throughout, his rich and telling bumor kept the audience in a constant state of merriment. His love scrapes, and the indefatigibility with which tue hero plunges into pew affairs of the heart furnish ap excellent theme for the dramatist. and Mr, Howard has worked it out in exceilent style, some of the Sscenes being in a fine farcical spirit. Mr. Blakeley, Mr. George Giddens ind Miss Rose Saker were excelient iu their old parts and subscribed considerable to the general amusement. The cosiuming was specially inter- esting, and the scenic setting hand-omne, as it has been in allof the series. To-night the following Dill will be presented: “Withered Leaves,” with Messrs.

The ladies who are in charge of the Newsboys’ Home are beginning to experience some of the annoyances incident to such a management. An item in the Globe-Democrat this morning was to the effect that a mass-meeting of gamins was beld on the steps of the Court House last night to protest against the manner In which they ‘were treated by Mike Churchill, the Janitor of the home; and that a delegation waited on the Globe- Democrat to inform the city editor that the sala Mike so far transcended his duties as to turn boys outof their beds at 2in the morning to make room for grown men. A Post-DISPATCH re- porter luvestigated the matter to-day, and found the facts in the case to be as follows; Four boys, the youngest 13, the eldest 16, named Ed. Moris- sey, Alf Burke, Thomas Brown and Thomas ‘lood, who are not newsboys or bovt-blacks, raised a disturbance at the Home because they were pot permitted to go to the theater every night; that is to say, remain out till midnight. The rules of the Hume require the boys to be in at 9, or shortly thereafter, and to stay out later only when they obtain permission. Churcbill, who takes care of the Home, has hada long ex- perience with newsboys, and is perfectly com- petent to manage them: so when these boys ar- rived at the Home ata late hour he would not let tnemin. Last night oe heid a mass-meeting by themselves and prutesied. Then they went tq the Home and kicked in the panel of the front door. Churchill and an assistant ran after them, and fiuding a policeman at the corner of Eighth and Morgan streets, had them arrested. They were up in Judge Dennison’s court this morning, but their Cases were coutinuead,. The boys are weil known to the police, aud are very difficult to get alung with. bere are a greai many vicious boys among the newsboy class, wiio work as iiitle as es can and steal and Drowbeat a living out of their companions. Mrs. Wagner, one of the man- agers, said this morning that if the boys have auyiiing to complain of they can get justice from any of tue women in charge. That these boys did not come to the ladies, she says, is a proof that they were dent on mischief alove. Churchill denies having ever turned a boy out to make room for a grown person, The disturbers will probably be puuished, An Army of Eight Hundred. MT. VERNON, MD.—Richard Cromwell, Esq.. Prest. Mi.
