CHICAGO, January 25.—The Supreme Court of Illinois, in a test case before it, decides that the city of Chicago is authorized to tax occupations, the only restriction being that the tax must fall alike On the same class. The decision is one of great importance to the city, as the limitation of the tax On real property has caused the autoor- ities to seek other sources of revenue. The test case was made in a suit commenced by the livery stable Keepers to prevent the imposition of an an- nual tax Upon their business. —__ An Indecent Greenbacker. Erie, Pa., January 25.—Frank 8S.

How He Placed His Father in an Insane Asylum. A Cruel Proceeding That Grew Out of a Fami- ly Quarrel—The Old Gentleman Proves His Sanity and is Discharged. By Telegraph to the Post-Dispatch. New York, January 25.—‘“‘is it possible in this free republic, in the latter part of the nineteenth century, fora man with impunity to cause an- other, who, being obnoxious to him, but who is of perfectly seund mind, to be incarcerated in an in- sane asylum and subjected to indignities that even lunatics should be protected against?” . This inquiry was addressed to a reporter yesterday by a lawyer, who for thirty-two years has had his office at No. 54 Wall street. The man of whom the lawyer spoke, Jas. B. Silkman, who is now a little over 60 years of age, has lived for twenty years in Yonkers. His family consisted of a wife and four children, one son and three daurthters. Mrs. Silkman died over five years ago and be- queathed to her children a house and several iots Valuea at $25,000, The husband was appointed trustee of the estate in which he had a life interest. The brotner of Mrs. Silkman, Darius G. Crosby, isa wealthy lawyer in this city and a member of the firm of Lockwood & Crosby, 99 Nassau street. Mr. Silkman’s son, Theodore H., has for some years been employed in the office of Lockwood & Cros- by. He is now about 26 yearsold. It is alleged that the son, INSTIGATED BY HIS UNCLE, began to make alterations in tue house which Mrs. Silkmanhad bequeathed to her children, Without consulting his father and in opposition w his father’s wishes. Mr. SilKkman_ protested and a quarrel ensued with his sonand Mr. Cros- by, who ordered the father to leave the premises. A threat nade by Mr. Silkman ‘“‘to ex- pose certain discrepancies in certain marriages and births in Mr, Crosby's family,” it is asserted, provoked Mr. Crosby’s resentment. Afew even- lings afterwards, on May 19, 1882, Mr. Silkman Was attending alecture inthe nouse of Everett Gale on School street, Yonkers, when the Dell rang. Mr. Silkman on coing to the door was con- fronted by three officers, who arrested him, placed himinacarriage and conveyed him to hite Plains, It is charged that on the next day, with- out being taken before Judge Gifford, who had issued the warrant for his arrest, be was taken to Utica and phiced inthe State lunatic asylum. There he was detained until August 23, 1882. Juage Barnard discharged him onthe ground that he was pot insane or of unsound mind, and ~~ restraint and imprisonment was unlawful. ) PAPERS HAVE JUST BEEN SERVED inasuit broughtin the Supreme Court in West Chester County by James G. Silkman against Darius G. Crosby, in which the latter is charged with instigating and procuring Mr. Silkman’s incarceration in the lunatic asylum, and dam- ages, amounting to $25,000 are claimed. lu the complaint Mr. Silkman alleges that he was treated with unnecessary harshness by the offi- cers who arrested him aud took him to White Plains at midnight. They refused to give him food,and aunoyed him in various Ways, and would not allow him to communicate with his friends, finally incarcerating him at Utica. He deciares the proceedings and arrest Were a mere lraudulent pretense and subteciuge on the part of the defendant to procure the plaintiff ’s imprison- ment before he should suspect what was intend- ed, and in order that said defendant and ac- conipiices could forcibly enter upon the plaintifl’s remises and in bis library in saidcityeof Yon- eers,for which purpose the defendant employed divers persons to go with tools and implements and break opey the locks on the drawers and closets, wilh the purpose of there 5 3 and ap- pes certain family records, which said de- endant alterward ; . , FORCIBLY AND FRAUDULENTLY took from the iron safe in plaintiff's office, No. 54 Wall street. Finally, he claims that false wit- nesses were subpeenaed to oppose his discharge in the habeas curpus proceedings before Judge Barnard at Poughkeepsie. and that when he was finally discharged, he was so injured by what he had gone through that he had lost much of his mental power, and his nervous system became so shatiered as to unfit bim for several weeks for re- suming bis professional labors. Mr. Silikman is one of the managers of the Society for Promoting the Condition of the Insane. THE MOST INTERESTING PART of Silkman’s complaint, aside from that relating to the facility with which he was seized and con- veyed to the asylum, is that in which ne describes his treatment aiter be had been incarceraied at Utica. On entering the asylum he was locKed up alone in a small ceil or bed-room at 8 p. m., with no light, separated from all bodily comforts and friends, and no Opportunity given him to com- municate with auy person ip his interest.

He was compeiled to make his own bed, sweep the roonr and balls, go out with a squad of patients daily to hoe garden veg- etables and pitch manure in the barn yard where sixty cows were led; was forced to go into the puvtic streets of Utica under guard to sweep side- walks, pull weeds out of the street gutter and roadway, and hoe gutters out. He was forced to take from 3 to 5 doses of drugs daily, under threats of punishment and perform service and meuiai labor in cold, windy weather. A WEDDING PARTY SURPRISED.

GUNNISON, COL., January 25.—The Colorade Coal and Iron Company’s mine at Crested Buttes, was the scene of a most appalling casualty yes- terday morning. Crested Buttes is acoal mining town about tnirty miles north of here on the Denver and Rio Grande Railway. The cause of the explosion was firedamp. The mine has long heen considered as dangerous by those who are acquainted with it. The explosion occurred either in chamber one or two just after the day force of sixty-seven men had gone to work. The total number of men in chambers 1 and 2 was fifty-seven. Every one of these was instantly Killed.

Many of these were marri men and leave families. The explosion was of such force as to completely barricade the main entrance. The machinery for forcing air into the mine was badly wrecked. S80 great has been the accumulation of debris at the scene of the expio- sion, that up to midnight last night citizens were unable to recover any of the bodies, although they worked at the task all day long. It is said that at the time of the explosion there were ten kegs of powder in chambers one andtwo. Nineof the ten men at work in chamber four escaped unin- jurea, but John Angus, who was in the passage- Way just outside, was badly bruised. He will re cover, however.

New York, January 2.—Tue agitation in Con- grees for av income tax by which those who real- ize $10,000 a year or more should be m ide to pay @ sort of duty, was much discussed In millionaire circles yesterday. The following questions were propouud: d: Are you ia favor of an income tax? _ Are you in favor of taxlug all incomes over $10,000? Mr. Russell Sage said: “I am opposed to both.” Mr. Fraok Work said: “1 have vot given the sudject sufficient cousideration tu express an opinion.” Mr. H. C. Fahnestock has no opinion to give. Mr. Gouid could not be seen.

We Will Fight Inside Party Lines, Rather Than Outside, - — — So Says a Prohibitionist Leader—An In- teresting Discussion of the Political Situation. “Is the report true that you gentlemen have de- termined to put an independent State ticket in the fieid unless you can get ove or the other of the regular parties to make some liberal conces- sions in your behalf?’ asked a PosT-DisPATCH re; orter tuls morning of one of the leading pro- hibitionists of the State. is not a,word of truth’ . We buve more ‘discretion than to do anything like that. We discussed that matter fully at the last meeting of the commit- tee, Which was held in Gov. Johnson's office, and our plan of operations has been very definitely dvtermipved u; on.” . *Bul it’s a secret, is it?” — “No, Lean’t see that there is any necessity for secrecy. We are working earnestly to strengthen our local organizations throughout the State, aud to that end owe carefully ignore all party questions or cousiderations. When the time comes for electing delegates to the norl- nating couventions In the reguiar parties, these organizations will devote their entire energies to secure tbe election ef such delegates as repre- sent their views,so that in both conventions tuey wil have a very consideraule representation. The same course will be taken in regard to the tickets alter they bave been nominated, yor lucal organization giving its support to such persons on either ticket as best represent their principles.” “Your party members, then, need not forswear their allegiance to which ever of the ola varties they may have a preference for, but must simply hoid prowibition interests paramount?” “That’s just it. course where are strong enough, our Republican and Democratic members may unite in putung up a local ticket in Mg pe age to the reg- viar Organizations, but thatis not our plan for the State fight. We shall carefully refrain from b coming an ally of either party, and will make vur fight for individuais, and not for tickets.” “And meanwhile, whatare the brewers and &8a- loon men duing to offset the effect-of your work?”’ “Oh, 1 presume they are active enough. I Know they are spending lots of money, as is piainly proven by fact that they boucht ata costof $6,000 our strongest repre- sentative paper—the Plattsburg Lever. McMi- chaels was doing very effeetive work for the cause through that paper, and 1 am satisfied he diu not Kuew he was SELLING IT TO THE ENEMY when he accepted $6,000 for it. They worked it very nicely, by getting Mr. Funkuguser, a Piattsburg banker, to buy it for them. As secon as it was bought. however, the evidences began to appear that members of the auti-probibition element were the ; urchasers. Ed Joues, who is Senator | Vest’s particular friend, was immediately in- stalled as editor, and you will rem: mber that Mr. Jones Was chairman of the commiiteé on consti- tional amendments ji2st wimer. The effect of the change Was to deprive the Prohibition party of ils stuiongest exponert.”’ “By the way, are the brewers as strong backers of Sev. tor Vest as tuey were a year ago?” “IT toink so, but if he continues to trim and tack for any cousiderable length of time, they will de- sert hyn. Their support of him was due entirely lo thelr self-interest, and they are a Very. suspi- cious Class, Who will cut loose from a man enlire- iy unless they have ot am confidence in his pro- fessivus in weir Deball.’”’ a b y doesn’t your party make an independent fight?’ “Well, one good reason is sufficient. This is Presideutial year, and party lines will be much strolger than at local or state elections, hence we could not nuke avy beadway. Besides, we are walling to see what Uongress is golaz to do.

VV. Cor. Sth & Pine. DANIEL C. YOUNC - THE CITY HALL. Collector Mott’s Method of Filling up the Reservoir. Red Lights in Hotels—The Water-Gas Bill—Fire Alarm Office Appointments —Notes. From the statemets made to a Post-DISPATCH reporter this morning by General McKinstry of the Water Department, it would seem that the water famine problem had been solved. On the eth of the present month Collector of Water Rates Mott took 4he matter of stopping water waste into his own hands and emplyed forty men to act as inspectors, clothing them with authority to piace under arrest all those found wasting water in violation of the ordinances. “On January 8th,” gaidthe General, “there was no water in the reservoir. Ifa fire had broken out in one ofgthe well-built up squares of the city the firemen could have dove nothing to check it. These in- spectors were put on and twelve hours afterward there was four feet of water In the reservoir. We ran the reservoir up to its full capacity on the 20th, and when more was pumped into it it over- flowed. That shows that the deficiency of caused by wastage. On Mon- 2ist, at Ss a& R., three gangs of men were put on at the Water Works to repair one of the engines. There never was time enough to make those repairs before. That en- ine bas been repaired and is now fit for use. Binee last Monday but one engine has been In use —a thing never before known 10 the bistory of the works—and there is al) the water in the reservoir that ts needed. Now,to my mind, this sudden wealth of water is due altogether to the work of the forty inspectors Mr. Mott put to Work on his own responsibility. An immense amount of wa- ter nas been saved by their warning to cousum- ers, by their threats of prosecution, and by the actual prosecutions.” _ “How many cases have you in court? “Since the 11th of January, 264; but these have pot all been tried.” “How many have been tried?” “Thirty-one cases.” “And what is the result?” “The result has, as 1 have said, been a stoppage of water waste wherever the iuspectors have been, and ‘the accumulation of over $200 in fines. Now $200 has been raised froim thirty-one cases ., When all the cases have been tried the ey realized will be sufficient to pay the wages of the inspectors. Ihave found that it is a hard matter to getaman fined in the Second District Police Court for wasting water. The law is clear upon the subject, but the judge rules against the city almost every time. In the First District Police Court both Judge Cady and City Attorney Clover are in harmony with the Water Depart- ment, and the result is we can get some justice from them, but we can’t do anything with Judge Dennison. Water Commissioner Whitman,” said Gen. McKinstry, in conclusivn, “has for years and years reported that the deficiency in the water supply is due to the wastage by consumers, and the” work of the inspectors goes to prove that this is true. Here, then, is a cheap solution to the vexed ques- tion: Compel the people to cease wasting water, and for that purpose Keep 4 large corps oi in- spectors at work.’’ ; During the past few weeks, since the autbori- ties have been actively engaged in investigating and stopping the water waste, the police courts have been busy in the trial ana punishment of violators of the ordinance on this subject, but as soon as the fines are inflicted the parties hie themselves to the Mayor’s office,and endeavor, by argument, threats, persuasion and special jeading, to obtain a remission of their fines. The layor handies each case separately and refers them to Mr. Mott, and if that official does not make any recommendation for clemency, by rea- son of some extenuating circumstances, the judg- meut stands in full. The Mayor deviates not a point from this action, and is determined that the water waste be stopped, or the offenders punished, RED LAMPS IN HOTELS. Councilman Ed. Devoy intends in afew days to introduce into the Council a bill compelling pro- prietors of hotels to place a red lamp atthe head of each stairway so that the lights may serve as guides to guests In case of fire. “The idea is not original,” said Mr. Devoy, “it is an Eastern wrinkle, and was suggested to me one night while Visiting a friend in oue of our large hotels. We couldn't find the s ay and were perplexed for awhile. A red light would have set us right with- outany trouble, Another thing, a red light can be seen through smoke that is so thick that you can shovel it. You know how ared light looms up through a fog? Well, it would be a goasend to frightened hotel guests in case of fire, and the hotel men can’tobject, because the lamps cer- tainly will not Cost much.”* THE WATER-GAS BILL was ordered printed as amended last night in the City Council. Judge Vastine proposed au amend- ment which has nothing objectional on its face, but which was strongly objected to by Councilman Rowse. It was that the securities to be given by the Water-Gas Company be either United States, Missouri or St. Louls bonds. “That kilis the bii!,” said Mr. Rowse. How it kills the bili is a question minds of the env poesiee- would appear that, if an , the securities pro- posed by Judge Vastine woul ' be better for the company than those the company propose—water- kas) 6bonds—as they would en have the advantage of the interest, the city not receiving the coupons of Government or State bonds, A NEW CITY HALL. One of the German papers contained a state- meni this morning that the Commissioner of Pub- lic Buildings was authorized to draw a ground lan of a new City Hall, and that this plan would offered architects to make designs from a prize to be offered for the best design. It is ru- mored that the talk about a new City Hall is eurnest and has a solid foundation, wrs, ©. F. Letman aud Chas. 8. Smith, $1,200; Assistant operators, Frank A. Nidelet, Martin C.

Albers & Co. has the fol- lowing encouraging news: “Landenburg’s offer to Antwerp is accepted at 3c advance.” This means that Landenburg, whoisa leading export- er at New York, made an offerof wheatto Ant- werp at 3c above late prices and the offer was ac- cepted.—*“‘It is cold in the country,” remarked a trader; “there isno snow on the ground, and wheat will look fearfully bine when the frost commences to come out. These fellows here will pay $i 16 forcash wheat by the middle of March.” ——Both cattle and hogs were stronger, higher and better markets every way during the past week than at any time before during the season. ——Cattle has sold at $6 75, bogs at $6 50 B 100 Ibs. The Markets. / FORENOON SESSION, CLOSING AT1P. M. The speculative grain markets were quiet dur- ing most of this forenoon. There was no decided change to yalues until late, and there were few prominent features that wouid allow of comment. There was some encouragement held out to the bull side on wheat by European advices. The early public cable from Liverpool was steady to firm, with a better tone and demand, though un- changed as to prices. A lot of wheat was reported sold in New York to Antwerp at 3c advance, and other cables showed that foreign markets are tak- ing more interest in American wheat. One pri vate English cable received lute stated wheat was strong and dearer. These favorable reports nat- urally excited a strengthening effect, that seemed to be felt more by New York than any otner mar- ket, however. But receipts of wheat were very small at Western points, only 66 cars being in- spected at Chicago and St, Louis combined. Pro- visions in the former market were strong and ad- vancing early, and helped to firm up the grain market. Chicago exhibited a great deal of strength during the early hours, and that, with the other stronger advices, hed the home market up. though there was little gain in value. Shortly after 11 o’clock there was atemporary weakening in value on a show of easier markets elsewhere, but this was soon recovered from, and for a time strength prevalied again. After the noon call there was a determin- ed effort made to break the market by free sell- ing. Offers and prices did ease off again, but there was a steady demand on reports of a good export inquiry in New York that was onl restricted by a scarcity of ocean tonnage an by the strength sown by that market. Late with the announcement of the adjournment sine die of the tripartrite conference commission appointed to restore rail freights, without their affecting their purpose, there was a sudden boom in the market, and May finally closed %@kwe above yesterday. Corp was principally influenced by wheat in value, but was strengthened also during the early hours by steady cables and light receipts ard by advances in markets eise- eee and in rovisions. But the feeling ocaliy was unsettfied, though the close mm avenely = wheat, ersten; rading in wheat options was confined alm exclusively to May, the avereage ot speculator being afraid to chance the nearer options, and trading too small inthe others to attract their attention. May opened ‘4c higher. at $1 071%, declined to $1 07, re- covered to $1 0714, subsequently fluctuating for some time between $1 074% and $1 07, then sellin off to $1 06%, recovered trom this to $1 07%, bu after the nominal call fell back to $1 06% ; later on stiffened and advanced rapidly and stead ily finally closing AT $1 O754@1 07%, February sold at $1 04 to $1 03% and. March at $1 05 to $1 04%, Db each had the highest rates bid for them at the close. The milling demand continues urgent for cash grades, and tor such grades as this class of buyers Want strong prices are paid, No. 2 red se}l- ing for milling at $1 03%@1 04*%_ this side ang a round lot of No. 3 Mediterranean at $1: but the other grades and East side receipts of No, 2 red were weaker and slower saie. Corn was r dull, and trading, even the favorite option of May was swall. That month opened %4¢ higher, at 51%, and for the first hour so) uniformly at that r ; then improved to 52, but some time after wen down to 515,@51%%, soon after recovering to 652; after the noon call weakened off irregularly until finally 515, was reached, but it very quickly reacted and closed firm at 62. January sold on noon call at 4744. February ranged from 47% to 47%, and March brought 4854. Cash es were firrh and higher, with a good order ap ship- ping demand for ali descriptions, but city millers paying such high prices for white mixed that they got nearly all offered, while a speculator was after regular No. 2 mixed.

The spot market has turned decidedly bullish, and at New York 1-16 advance was had, mid- dlings being quoted at 10 11-16. All other markets were firm, but without quotabie change. There was a good demand in the home market, but offerings were seemingly very scarce,and the movement up to 2:30 p. m. was not of much magnitude. Speculative trading was also light, but the various markets were stronger and quite an advance was recorded. Liverpool opened and closed firm at. 14 to 3-41 advance. Yarns and fabrics at Manchester were also firm. At New York the advance was more strongl mirked than at any other point. he opening was steady at 1 to 3 points higher and continuing steaay, out showing some irregularity, advanced until a gain of 2 to 4 points was had from yesterday’s close, New Orleans was steady but the upward movément was very slight prices at 1:05 showing little or nogechange from the day before.

Something Which Will Take the Place of the Reserve Rule, Base-Ball Notes and Gossip—Sporting Sundries—The Catton-Carter Billiard Match, Ete. ; The reserve rule in its present form is undoubt- edly a great eye-sore and athornip the side for the clubs members to it as well as to the players thenist lves—Wwho, to tell the truth, have had rath- er the best of it for the coming season, and many of them have foreed clubs into paving bigger sal- aries for their services than they would have oth- erwise had to do. As this was the very condition of affairs it Was Created to combat, its success is yery equivocal. In view of tMis state of affairs the Cleveland Herald has a lengthy screea upon the subject which will be found interesting, ai- though its views in general are not apt to receive yery general indorsement: “The reserve rule bas been hammered very heavily since the closing of the season of 1882. There is some reason why it shoula be. It is not the best rule in the world, but itis the best that could be devised to meet a difficulty that threat- ened to wreck base ball. It works a wrong upon ihe plaver, because it says to one: ‘You shall play here for $1,500," and the player can look toa club in another State, where a man is playing the same position as be, ava in av inferior way, for 8300 more salary. Players are loud m their growls about other wrongs which the reserve rule inflicts. In reality they amount to notiting. But iu the way stated above a wrong may be dove, The reserve rule gives an opporiunity to be unjust. Can that opportunity be taken away? Wethink it can, It is necessary for the gooa of the League that all clubs shall be as eveuniy matched as possible. The clubs should be but healluy branehes of a whole, but independent oves, aod Intent upon winning the championship. Tits brings out Lhe late Mr. Huiburt's idea fuily. No truer friena or worker for base ba!lever lived, norany more sensible or fair-minded man. His idea has been foliowed., The Eleven Mey Reserve rule is but an enlargement upon ane of bis ideas, andis for the purpose of keeping up individual cud strepeth and preventing the best players from going to the largest cities. That would ferm two or three strong clubs and drive the smaller places out, because the latter wonia be unable to compete with the former. 8o the reserve rule stands a representative act of the policy of the greatest good to the greatest pumber. It is in the one particular stated a harsh rule. At the last meeting of the League one of the representa tives of the Cleveland Clob proposed a plan that Will do away with all the injustice of the reserve rule, protect the player better than becan protect himself aud geverally work to nis advantage. The League thought well of the plan, but‘it was too late lo «ffect the present season, coutracts having been made, and was laid aside to be taken up at the March mecting. The plan is, in short, a System of graded salaries based on immediate work dove. It propeses dividing the players of each position into )3= 6greups)6=«6and—= grading each group into three classes—first, sec- ond and third. The Leayue is Lo fix the maxunum salary of eacli position group for the piaver of the first-ctass. and two amvuunts each a step below the other siull be fixed as the pay tur the second and third ciasses. The men ali starteven, and areto be hud an even sum mouthly—say $150—the balance belug beld by the club, and althe end of the sea- sou Lhis eXtra sumisto be paid lo the player upon the merit of his work of the season that has possed. This Classtugis w be deciued by the \Mictalaverages as interpreted by Secretary N. bk. Young.

Nothing like piaying ior a record could ign exist, The elub officers could check the lal seores, figures and also agree to depos- uey ina bank with Secretary Yeung, or in é hands of a trustee appointed ov the League, the as Wo guarantee the balance of Lhe salaries at KND OF A SEASON’S WORK. The two latter points ave the only weak ones in the plan aud are slight and may be guarded against, While the advantages are many, Calls lor advauece money would be scarce because each } ayer would bave a snug liitle sum saved at the cid of each season.

AlChinper correspondent says: “President Eliot of Harvard Knows about as much conceining sports as the average woman. He doesn’t want the nines, teams or crew to bire trainers or play with professionals or to play with colleges that didn’t agree to this. In other words, he wants to con- trol college athletics. Yale is to be congratulated that it is the only coilege that had backbone enough to resent these unwarranted slurs against rofessionais. President Eliot is much mistaken f he thinks Yale can be bulidozea. It wont trouble Yale much if Harvard refuses to play with them, and public opinion will back the biue every time. Then he goes on to say no gate money should be taken, aud no fence should be built around the field. In other words, the nive and y of move- the ice and other teams should pay their own expenses for. traveliug, playing, uniforms, etc., out of their own pockets.

Lihdiey, executor of the estate of Mary A. Russell, to-day filed a suit for an injunc- tion torestrain Thomas P. Russell, William J. Russell, BPD. Gibson aud Belle Gibson, his wife, and Charles F. Christian, The circumstances out which the suit grows are stated by the plaintiff to be these: Mrs. Russeil was the wife of Thomas P. Russell. She died on the 12th of October last, and by will appointed the piaintiff ber executor. The prop- erty devised by the testatrix consisted of a farm of 236 acres in Moniteau County, Mo., of the vaiue of about $10,000, and alot of ground on Grand avenue aud improvements thereon, consisting of a livery stable and appurtenances of the value of $14,000. By her will Mrs. Russell devisea the larm in Moniteau County to her piece, Belle Gibson, aud the lof and livery stable on Grand avenue bo ber owu Busband, Thomas P. Kusseii. At her death there was a mortgage of $2.000 on the Grand avenue lot,and by ber will she airected that if wer husband paid off this mort- gage, her executor was to aeliver to him a deed tor the Grand avenue lot, and in case her husband refused or failed to pay off ibis mortgage, then her executor was directed to sell the loi and stable, and after deducting the sum of $4,000and paying off the mortgage of $2,000, to pay the balance to Mr. T, P. Russell. From the payments thus deducted the execu- tor was directed (to pay off a mortgage of $3,000 on the Mouiteau County farm, It transpired alter ihe death of Mrs. Russell that the morigage on ihe Grand avenue jot was for $6,000 instead of $2,000. In this difficulty be asks the court to direct hunin his duty in the premises. During the mouth of January, 1883, the plaintiff alleges that the defendant, r. P. Russell, induced his wife to execute adeea to the Grand avenue lot to W.$J. Russell, his son by aformer marriage. Mrs. Russeil dia not deliver the deed to her husbana. The pilain- tiff states that his testatrix was then suffering froman acute and incurable disease which ter- minated her life within afew months, and during ibis short period her suffering and distress Was greatly aggravated by the persistent persecution and importunities employed by her busband to get avy individual filty xoel in, the possessivn Of said Geed; that be aiso ransacked the trunks and cChesis and private papers li searching deeds, an would probabiy have in this Way got possession vl the deeds except for the tact that the plaintiffs testatrix had put them in the hanas of a tuird person for safe keeping against her husbaud. Puiaiotiffl states What the deeds were thus preserved until they were broucht to lim, together with ber last will and testament and a smail sum ofmoney,by Dr.Widiam A. McCandless, by the direction of Whe testatrix. A few days ago W. J. Russell iustiiuied a repieviu suit against Mr. E. . Lindley w recover possession of the deeds in question, and Mr. Lindley now seeks Ww enjoin the other defendants from prosecuting that suit. HAVE you ever tried the Post-DisPATCH want olumns?

Splendid Collection of Testimony and Clews That Should Result in a Capture—Nearly $1,000 Reward. Thereis not a gratifying prospect for the capt- ure of the man who committed the horrible double murder near Fenton, although the devel- opments of yesterday afvernoon serve to fix the crime on a stranger,a very accurate description of whom has been obtained. If by good fortune he shouig be captured there are as maby as ten persons who can give evidence establish- ing his presence in the vicinity of the Boedecker cabin just previous to the murder. He is first located at Kaiser's saloon, corng of King’s High- | way and Gravois road, right in our city suburbs, where, on Monday night, he stopped to warm himself, He is described as a man of medium or slightly below medium heighg, the estimates rang- ing tram 5 feet 6 to 5 feet 9inches. His build was ordinary, neither stout nor thin. He wore black or dark clothes, of fairly good quality, and a white shirt. His nat, biack, was of the Derby style, with a high crown and narrow brim. His face wus rather full and well-rounded, and he either Was smooth-shaven or had a very thin growth of dark mustacbe. He carried a small, black leather satchel, and was without an over- coat. His age was about 25 years. He spoke En- glish without any foreign accent, but to one or two persons Made remarks in good German, and, judging from this and from the style of his face,he was probabiy an American of German descent. His entire make-up was not that of a tramp, as the word is geverally understood, but rabter of an itinerant corn-doctor or sore-eye specialist. Up to date, however, the evidence failsto support the idea that he was either, as he made no offer of his unprofessioual services at any of the houses where be is known to have called, al- though it 1s said he remarked to one man that he was peddling jewelry. At Kaiser’s the stranger neither drank nor spoke a word, contenting himself with WARMING AT THE 8TOVE for a few moments, and then starting west on the Gravois roud at a rapid pace. ¢ must have walked very steadily, for about the middle of the aiternoon he appeared at Welmeyer’s saloon in Fentou, where is appearance provoked some comment. After remaining there for some time he moved on west, and about dusk applied at the farm-bouse of Mr. J. Slevin for a night’s lodging, making the request in perfect English, Mr. Sievin could not accommodate him and he hurried ov. Me next calied at the nouse of J. W. Scott, aud was again refused lodging. His next cail was at the Vogelsang taro, next at the farm of Philip Sturdy and Ocxt attne house of Charles Smith. At each piace in turn be was told that be could vot be accommodated, and two of the parties to whom he applied toid him that he could probably get lodging at the house of Mrs. Horan, iocated a quarter of a mile or more west of the scene of ihe murder. As he failed to apply at Mrs. Horan’s house, or at any house beyoad hers, it is reasonable to suppose that le made application atthe Boedecker cabin, which nobody had re- ferred him to because of its diminutive size. Tie pallet in the Kitchen of the Cabin indicated that the young couple were more hospitable than their betier circumstanced neighbors, aud had admii- ted him. The police and county authorities are now looking eagerly fora manel tbe above descrip- tion, and bis characteristics were such that they should certainly be able to trace him. As he probably left the cabin long before daylight, the people living within four or five iniles Of the scene of the murder would have seen him, but further on, after daylight caught bim, some of the farm- ers or road SALOON PEOPLE must certainly bave noticed him. A reward of $450 offered by the neighbors and §500 by the Diaie wiil tend to intensily the Zeal of the pursuit very muctd. A Dart of this money shouid ulil- ized in printing a clear, common-sense circular, contaibiug a careful description, ana mailing a large number of copies of lt to every country post office aud sore nn iheadjacent three or iour counvies. Tue satchel ts a spiendid ear-mark, and Will probably be the oecasion of the murderers’ betrayal U he ever is caught. A silver waich witha gold chain, which belouged te Boedecker, is Missing, 4sisa suit of the murdered man’s clothes, and these, with the above mentioned facts, Willi make tue work ef conviction easy after he is once Capiured. Que ether important dis- covery Was made yesterday. Tiie murderer had taken @ linev towel and torn it into strips, which he laid near the bowl whereiu he washed his bands. Une or two of Lhese strips are mnissing, and the only conceivable purpose for which he might have taken them would bave been lo Daudage a Wuund received in his siruggie with tbe WomaD. Such a mark as that would be a great aid tv justice, and itis a thing to be looked for. The shirt left by the stranger was a new one, which had been worn for two or three days, but pever iaundried since it leftthe store. The collar band bore the figures 16, showing a pretty well developed neck, aud Maybe some storekeeper will be found who recenuly sold a single shirt of that size and who cau give some Iniormation as to the purchaser. The tracks made vy the unknown peddier in one of the farm Louse door yards were measured by the police yesterdsy,aud tracks of identicaliy the sume wicasurement were Lhe lrozen ground near door of the Boedecker house, is, well as advuzen other circumstance shows con- ciusively Maat the murder was COMMITTED MONDAY NIGHT, or a day ana a hali before 1} was diseovered. An inquest Was Deid yesterday by Squire Dillon, and alarge amount of lestimony taken, empoaying ouly the facts already givew to the public. Lhe jury returned a Verdict Charging the death on a person unknown. The gossip provoked by the iragedy revealed the fact tat the aead young woinan had beeu a mother velore she was a wile.

L., January 25.—At about 6:30 o'clock this morning Selah Sprague, a well-to-do farmer of East Meadow, went as usual to bis barn to milk the cows and feed the horses. Just as he reached the barn a tall, slim mulatto at- lucked him with a fish plate, used in conpling lullroad tracks, and, striking him several murder ous blows on the head, left bim for dead and ade his way tothe house. Here he saw Mrs. Sprague in the kitehen, He struck her one biow and GCemanded her money. She told him to get it out of the drawer, and then ran screaming from the house. Before she had gone very far the man overtook and passed her, soon eetting out of sight. Some neighbors, hearing Mrs. Sprague's cries, hurried 4nd found Sprague lying in a pool of blood near the barn, A general alarm Was sounded and the farmers of Hicksville, Hempstead, Westbury ‘ud Farmingdale hitehed up their herses and Started in all directuons, scouring the county tor the assassin.

Details of the Manner ia Which the New In- strumeonut will be Built. It has been siated in the Post-DisPaTcHa that Prof, H. 8. Pritchett, Prof. E. A. Engler, Sergt. Weber, Ma}. Whitney and H. ©. Peipers, the architect, bad held a number of conferences for the purpose of devising suitable plans for the erection of atime ball on the dome of the new Custom House. After two monihs deliberation their suggestion took a definite shape, and Mr. Peipers was instructed to put them on paper. The plans were finished and brought into Sergt. Weber's office this morning by Mr. Peipers, who gave.a PosT-DisPpATCH reporter a full explana- tion of iherm: The great difficulty the gentieme n above mentioned had to contend with was to erect such apparatus lm connection with the time-bali so as not to mar the appeafince ofthe dome or the cupola. Mr. Peiper’s plans accomplish this end. The ball and pole are to ve located on the north side of the cupola. The pole is te.escopic, consisting of two rods, one working Within the other, When uot in use the inner pele is iowered so that it is scareely visibie except When raised to its full beight itis twenty-tive feet long and wiil rise two feet six inches above the weath- er vVahe on the top of the cupola. The bali is to be constructed of thick strips of copper so put together as to permit the wind ta pass through it and thus avoid the resistance and consequent pressure on the pole. It will Weigh about filty pounds and be four feet in diameter. Boththe rod and bali are raised by ineans of simple mechanism placed within the cupola, Thedrop of the ball will be fourteen feet, the first ten feet being traversed almost in- stantaveousiy,and the remaining four gradually. Tuis movement is accomplished by means of a Spaing, to which the ball ropes are aitached, The ball will be dropped from Washington University by means of an eiectrical instrument invenved by Prot. rritehett of the Morrison University. It wili be under the immediate superyision of the sigual service officers, who have volunteered their time and attention free. lt is es- timated roughiy that it will cost from $1,200 to $1,500 to place the ball in position to make the necessary connections with Wastingeton University. Maj. Whitney has taken an active injerest in the matter, and will soon go to Wash- jngton, taking the plans with him, tu order to ot the ball. Several prominent merchants have expressed it as iheir opinion that there will be littie or no difficulty in raising the requisite sum io defray the cost of making and placing the ball and pole in pusition, SMALL FIRES. od Three Blazes Extinguished in Good Time to save Property.

Probably Another Ocean Disaster. By Telegraph tothe Post-Dispatch. ST. JOHNS, N. F., January 25.—A dispatch just received from Tilt Cove announces a probable marine disaster ov the 4th instant. The British sqnooner Jeannie was moored with two anchors and chains in Ming’s Bight, White Bay, when she was surrounded by a heavy body of ice and car- ried out seaward. Acrew bhumbering six men, with Capt. Dean, the 6wner, boarded ihe receding vessel in a fishing punt. On the night of the 4th a strong gale frum the southwest arose, accom- panied with a terrifie snow storm. Toward mid- uight the wind veered tothe south, carrying the vessel andber crew ou! tosea. Having been moored forthe winter the Jeannie’s rudder was on deck and her sails unbent and wareheused, There was a littic flour on board and a few gal- lous of water, but no fuel. No tidings of the ves- selor crew have reached the shore during the past twenty days. Shewas doubiless crushed in the ice pack or beaten into iragments against Guil [siand rock,in either of which cases her crew must have perished, as no human aid could reach them. x A Sore Throat or Cough, if suffered to rogress, often results In an fo curaDle throat or ung trouble. “Brown's Bronchial Troches” give instant relief, Railroad Notes.

What It Ought to Be — Some Valuable Suggestions Given. George W. Cable’s striking ess n “The Convict Lease System in he Southern Siates” is printed in the February Century. He introduces his powerful array of facts with the following clever statement of what a prison ought to be: “Here and there in the United States a penal Institution may be found that fairly earns the pride with which itis pointed out by the surrounding com- munity. Inthe whole country there may be four or five such. The visitor to them ad- inires the fitness of their architecture, **Yes,’ the Warden replies, ‘this is not a house vo! pleasure, and so we have not made il pretty. Itis not av abode of crime, and so we have not made it ugly. Itis not a place where men seek justice, and therefore we have not made it grandiose aod wajestic. But it is the house of chastisemient—of chast- ehing punishment—and so it is wade solemn, severe and calu.’ “The visitor praises the grave and silent decency of all the internal appointments. “*Yes, respons the warden; ‘the peace and diguity of the State are here asserting themselves over the persou of the prisoner who has violated them; there is no more room here for merriment and coofusion than for strife.’ “The visitor extols the perfection of the sanilary arrangemeuts. **Yes,’ says the warden; ‘when the crim- inal was {ree and his life at his own disposal, he took no such care of it as this. He prob- ably lived a sort of daily suicide. If he shortened his days the State was, presumu- biy, not tu blame. But if we, by malice or negiect, shorten his days here, where he is vur captive, we bring upon the State both blame and shame. For his life is in our cus- tody, just as the clothing is with which he cawe bere; the State, through its courts, has distinctly decilped to tamper with it, and holds it subject to be returned to his own keeping, at the expiration of his confine- ment, in as good order as that in which it was received, the inevitable wear and tear of time alone excepted. Can a State main- tain its peace and dignity as it should that cuangaite breaches of trust in its very pris- ons?’ “The visitor remarks thata wise benevyo- lence is necessary even toward bad men. * But,’ says the other, ‘it is not merely benevolence to bad men that put in these elaborate sanitary appliances; itis the ne- cessity of upholding the integrity and honor of the State.’ “The visitor shows his surprise at the ab- sence of all the traditional appliances for the correction of the refractory. ‘Yet be cer- tain,’ isthe rejoinder, ‘a discipline, sure, prompt and effectual, meets every infraction of rules. How else cdtid we have this per- fection of order? But it is a discipline whose punishments are free from brutalizing ten- dencies, increasing dispassionately as the culprit’s passions increase, and reélenting only when he has repented. Phe visitor is impressed with the edu- cative value of the labor performed by the ipmnates. ' “**Yas,’ says the warden, ‘send a man out from here with knowledge of a trade, and maybe he will come back, but the chances are he will not. Send him away without a trade, and maybe he will not come back, but the chances are he will. So for society’s sake—in the community’s interest and for its safety—these men are taught certain trades that they can not turn to bad account. We do not teach burgiars locksmithing.’ “Yet the visitor takes @ momentary alarin. ***You put the housebreaker and the rob- ber, the speak thief and the pickpocket into open competition with honest men in the community around them.’ ***Exactiy,’ responds the other; ‘trying to live without competing ia the fields of pro- ductive labor is just the easence of the crimes for which they were sent here. We make a short end of that.’ ‘*The visitor looks with pleased interest at the statistical records of the clerk’s office. ***We could not call our duties done with- out tliese,’ is the warden’s response. “These are the keys to the study of the cause aod prevention of crime. By these we weigh our own results. By these we uncover not only the convict and bis crime, Dut society's and the State’s own sins of omission and com- mission, whose fruits are these crimes and these criminals.’ **Afver all,’ at length the visitor says, ‘tell me one thing more. Here where a pris- oneris safe from fire and plague and op- pression and temptation and evil compan- ionship, and is taught thrift and skill, and only to submit to justice and obey right rules, where Is his punishment? How is this punishmentat all?’ “And the warden makes answer with ques- tion for question: ‘Had vou a deformed foot, and an iron mold were made so close around it and press it into asymmetrical shape and hold it sv, would you ask where is the agony? The punishment here is the pusjshment of a @iormed nature forced into ——— syuimetry. It isthe punishment that cap- tivity is to unrestraint; that subordination and enforced self-control are to ungoverned passion and inordinate vanity and pride; that routine is to the love of idle adventure; that decorum is to the love of orgies; that temperance is tojthe love of drink ; that lone- linets is to the sucial and domestic impulses; that solitude and self-communion are to re- morse. It is ail the losses and restraints of banishment, without one of its liberties. Nothing tempers. it but the repentance and reform which it induces, and these temper it justin degree as tweey are genuine and thorough.’ ‘**And your aciual results?’ asks the visi- or. **Of those who come here for their first offense, 2 majority return to honest life,’ ” » Three Florai Novelties. From the New York Eveping Post. Three noveities are announced by growers which are esteemed worthy of prvpagation by them and of “‘pushing” by the florist. It is in the tlorat worid much like the world of fashion. A new flower “‘takes’’ and has a ‘“run.’’ Every one wants it and it sells at high prices. The following season it will only be popular; the third season there is no demand, Calandula meteor ran its course in this way. No one cares for it thds year. A new caiendula, “Prince of Orange,”’ is about to be introduced, It is striped like the meteor, but of a very brilliant deep orange. It will never have the runof calendula meteor, for the reason that the yellow flower eraze is fast dying out. Eucharist Sanderil is another novelty and one that growers can atford to invest in, as it will become a standard flower for designs and no: be de- ndent on the whim of flower-wearers. It s smalierand bioums more freely than the Eucharist Amazonica; it is more easily forcea besides. Its foliage is a biuish green, quite distinct from thie E. Amazonica. The buibs imported were mixed, which will hinder the rapid intri- duction of this new and delightful floWer, but next year we shall! have itiun profusion. The third noveity is a new mignonetie.

Itis a quiet little Italian hotel and restaurant, where one goes for a delicious and not expensive dinner, served by efficient Italian waiters. Here every- thing is most civil and decorous.

These are (which goes without saying) deliciousiy cere- monious and polite, rising to greet, low of voice and every way punctilious. Atthe table just behind mine there were four persons, two of. each sex, who were talking loudly and ng coarsely, with an affected unconsciousness of deportment.

From the New York Times. The crisp snow in Irving place creaked with the pressure of many wheels last night. From 9:30 until so muth jater that even the sleepy policemen could not tel’ what time it was, Carriages rolied up to the door aud dis- charged luads of people. No one knew who they were, or if any one did know he did not distribate hisinformation gratis Before 11 o'clock the Academy of Music was full. Be- fore 2 o’cluck many of the peopie were in a cundition of similarity. Every one was hap- py and fall of spirits, This being the case, it 18 Meedless f say that it was the occasion of the bail of the Cercie Francaise de |’ Har- monie. The arrangements for the bal! were elaborate. Irving aud Nilsson Halis joined with the Academy in furnishing accowny- dations to the gay persons who assembied to havea generally good time. The march was annuunced to begin at 10 o'clock, but it was 12 when the pageant burst upon the astonished vision of the speec- tators. Some of the onlookers, much to the envy of others, were able to see two proces- sious, and thus get double their money’s worth. It was evident that the entire French population of New York, Brookiyn and Hoboken had done its best, or worst. There were Costunies of more than every kind. The imagination of man and the wickedne’s of woman had outdone themselves. The wom- en had evidentiy been much of a mind in making their preparations for the event. It has been sometimes considered a necessary feature of the French valli that the favorite eostume of buriesque should appear on the floor. Ladies have been wont t© appear in what are known in the theatrical rofession as “Elizabethan shapes.”’ ‘hese consist principally of stockings. The stockings do net require garters. They are fastened -well, pever mind how they are fastened, but they come high and fit clese. Last night the ladies introduced a new style. Not that they did not wear the aforementioned; but they wore them as usual. But they wore the dress of eminently high toned society. It was en princesse and had atrain. lit was generous below and par- simonious above. It was whatsome people call jow-necked. Other people sayitis ab- surd to speak of neck in connection wita such dresses. There is no connection be- tween them. There cannot be. because tlie neck and the dresses are too far apart. The top of the dress is not farfrum the waist. This is the kind of dress which the ladies wore last night. They thought it was weil to have some variety in their picnic, They hadit. They had it bad. As for character, there was plenty of it— in the dresses. “Nana” was there, but she failed to appear in her famous “Bionde Venus” costume, Sarah Berohardt was there, and abuut 12 0’clock she and Marie Colombier had a monkey-and-a-parrot of a time. Colombier was castigated Oy Sarah. Sarah seemed tothink it wasiun. Soe did the bystanders. “Lakmwe’’ was there. She had eaught on,too. The caught-on fellow suid to her: “Do you Lakme, Lakme?” Then they vanished. Several bottles vanished in the same direction. “Henry VILL” (Saint Saens’ version) was there. He did not have all his wives with him. He had Anne Boleyn, however, and slie wasa soul-satisfying daisy. French opera bouffe was well represented. Rose Michon, Ser po- lette, La Grande Duchesse, Pepita and Clairette Angot were all there. Only one of them was seen at atime. Many people said they were one andthe same. Yet only one of them was seen at a time, and yet aay seemed so much alike that no one couid tell them apart. Mile. Lange was there, and she was constantly singing “‘Le Petit Bleu.” As the evening wore on the scene waxed. The more the scene waxed the livelier it became. lt was said that all the leading .actresses cf the city were there. No one saw them, how- ever. The reason was that they did not ar- rive until after 11:30, and then no one cvuld see anything. ‘There was plenty of music in the air. Three bands, under Schwab and Conterno, kept a continuous streaih of har- mony flowing out of the galery down to the floor. People carried it away in their hais. They carried away other thingsin their hais. They will not carry so much in their hats to- day, because they will not be able to get the hats on. lt was a strange fact that the later it became the more gas-lights there were. At 2 o’cluck in the morning there were 922 gas- lights barning. They were counted. lhe ball was a success. Every one said 50 last night. No one will say soto-day. Itis strange how much different a racket looks the next day. DRAWING-ROOM DECORATIONS. From an Exchange.

A Letter from Louts Napoleon About His Amour with 4 Baltimore Woman. N. ¥. Correspondence Cincianat? Enquirer. A correspondent from France refers to an American woman’s scrape with the late Louis Napoleon, developed through a letter Of Napoleon ILL. lately come to light in the memvirs of Odilon Barrot, formerly Prime Minister. It refers to an incident that took piace at Tours during the visit of the Presi- dent in 1849. While in England Napoleon had contracted a liaison with a lady named Mad. Howard, who was a Miss MacTavish of Baltimore, became Countess of Beaure- gard under the Empire, and finalty married an Exgiish officer. When Napoleon was elected President, Mad. Howard cama to Paris, was lodged near the Eiysee Palace, and coutinued to live un intimate terms with the Priuee-President. She went with him to Tours, traveling with the Count Bacciocehi, cousin of the President, anu lodgings were given her in the house of M,. and Mad. An- dre, who were then absent in the Pyrenees, ‘The persons were severe Protestants, aud when they heard of the kind of lady who had been louged in their house they wrote a violent letter of indignation to the Minister. These latter, not sorry to give the Prince a hint that he was no longer freeto live the easy life he had been leading at Loudon, caused the letter to fall under Napoleon’s eyes, as if by accident. Napoleon read the letter and replied as follows: “My DEAR MINISTER—Your brother has shown me a jetter ofa M. Andre to which I shuuld have disdained to reply didit not contain falsehoods which it is well to refute. A lady in wiom | take the liveliest interest, accompanied by one of her friends and by two persons in my suite, desired to see the carousel at Saumer. ‘Thence she came to ‘fours, but, fearing to find no lodging here, she asked meto procure her one. When I arrived at Tours I asked a Counselor of the *electure to kindly find me rooais for the Count de Bazcioechi and two ladies of his acquaintance. Chance and their evil star leu them to the house of M. Andre, where, I know not why, people imagined that one of the ladies was named Bacciecchi. The lady never took that name. If the error was com- mitted, it was by strangers, independent of my will and of the will of the lady in ques- tion. ‘‘Now, I should like to know why M. An- dre, without taking the trouble to inquire into the truth, wishes to render me respon- sibie, both for the designation of his house and for the false name attributed toa person? Does a proprietor whose first care is to pry into the past life of the person whom he receives in order to decry make a noble use of hospitality? How many women a hun- dred times jess pure, less devoted, less ex- Cusable than the one who lodged at M. Andre’s would have been received with all possible honors by this M. Andre because they had the name of their husband to hide their guilty liasions! I detest that pedantic rigorism which always ili-disguises a dry soul, indulgent toward self, inexcusable toward others. True religion is not intoler- ant. lt does not seek to stir up a tempest in a teapot, to make scandal for nothing, and to change into a crime a simple aceideut or an excusable mistake. “M. Andre, wholam told is a Puritan, has not yet meditated enough that passage of the gospel where Christ,gspeaking to souls as uucharitable as the soul of M. Andre, says ou the subject ofa woman whom they wished to stone, ‘Let him ,that is without fault,’ ete. Let him practice this morality. As forme, 1 accuse nobody, and avow my- self guilty in seeking in illegitimate bonds au aifection which my heart needs. Still, as up to the present my position has prevented me from marrying—as in the midst of cares of Government | he ve, alas! in my country. from which | nave been so long ——_ nel- ther intimate friends mor’ youth ties, nor parents who give me the pleasures 0 fantir iite—l may, I think, be pardonéd an affec- tion which harms nobody, and of which I do not seek to make a parade. To return to M. Andre: If he believes, as | he declares, his house polluted by the pres- ence of a woman whois not married, l you to tell him from me that I regret ex- tremely that a person of such pure devotion and of such a sublime character should have falien by chance into a house where, under the mask religion, there reigns nothing but the ostentation of prudish virtue without Christian charity. NAPOLEON.” A Horse Trade in Court, From the Detroit Free Press. There was a suit before a Justice of the | Peace the other day, in which a citizen of the suburbs attempted to make out that he had heen swindied in a horse trade. The defend- ant had warranted the horse “reasonably sound for a beast of his age,”” and the age was given at 15 years. “Did you give the animal’s age at 18?” was asked of he defendant. “I gave it as about 18.” “What did you mean by reasonably sound for his age?’ ‘IT meant that he had one leg on which there were no ringbones or spavins, and he could see pretty well out of one eye.” ‘‘How old do you believe the horse to be?” “Not over 19, but I’ll leave that to his Hon- or and the jury.” It was agreed to adjourn to the alley and inspect the beast. They found the horse leaning against the wall, head down and eves full ot tears, and his Honor put the age down at 24. Each of the jurymen had a look at the horse’s teeth and eyes and feet, and they were firm in their figures, which ‘anged from 12 to 45 rs of age. When cane ytatntitt discovered this the counsel for the he said: “Your Honor, I desire to withdraw from record everything relating to the horse’s age.” | “Why ?” ; “Because, when aman like your Honor ean’t tell whether a_ horse is fifteen or a hundred years old, and a jury of intelligent citizens can’t distinguish a ringbone from a spavin, the defendant can’t be blamed for throwing ina sore back and poil-evil free gratis!’ a “Very well, sir. ‘‘And we rest our case solely upon the fact that we were drunk when we made the trade, and that the defendant knew it and took ad- vantage of us.” Ther jury found for the defendant, ? course. of Fhe Two Jay Goulds. From the vetroit Times. Down town or up town, Jay Gould, the speculator, is alert, bold, cuaning, danger- ous, exclusive, freaky, and meets the world much more than haif way, in @ man-to-man tight, in whieh thus far he has much the bet- ter of it. Then he goes home, and, when his front door closes, no glare of electric light is turned full upon -his domestic pri- vacy. With his wife and his children he leads a happy and quiet home existence, Nothing in this world is more respected b the world than this domestic trait, and nave reason to believe thas with Mr. Gould it is not an affectation, but. a habit of life- iong growth, which suits his peculiar and sensitive temperament. He Won’t Die. from the Detroit Free Press. arrived in Detroit the other day, RB anes hour after the west-bound train over the Detroit, Grand Haven and Milwaukee Road had departed, a young man who was in a terrible fix. He was on his way to a yvil- lage in the interior to get married. The day and the hour had been set, and here he was, fifty miles away and no show to get there unless he hired a locomotive. Acting upon the advice of the depot policeman, the young man had an interview with one of the chief officials S. —y road, who offered the a locomotive for : wee That's heap of money,” replied the young map, as his enthusiasm began to ooze away. ” ” said the indifferent official. “Hen. sald th to her father and see what Me Very well, let meknow within an hour.” man De ia me t 4 ed with a in his hand, and he laid it before the official without a word.

It was jeeky I thought of Ba ee ge for I’m just $40 ahead.”’ , And you pees ever being left?” “Well, I'd been engaged to Susan for tnhir- teen years, and when I opened that dispate my knees wobbied a bit, but I guess it’s for the best. I’m also engaged to a Toledo milliner who does a business of $30,000 per ear, and to agirl in Columbus who expects er aunt to leave her $20,000, and I’min hopes of pu!ling tarough yond gy 5 into adecline. Sorry to have troubl you, sir, and I’\l bid veu good-day.”’ A TALE OF TWO CITIES. The Philadelphia Blonde and Her Skel- eton Bridegroom. From the New York Life, Miss Bertha E. Clear, who is described with that journalistic exuberance peculfar to Philadeiphia as a ‘‘bewitching bionde witn roguish eyes and a Gainsburough hat,” re- cently became addicted to museums in that city, particularly those of the aime variety. As time went on it was observed thats denied herself marsh-mallows and other nee essuries of life in order to be able t gratify her appetite for curiosities and pay the nec- essary car fare involved in her search for then. About two weeks ago a Mr. Garrison dawned upon her sympathetic gaze. Mr. Garrison was a professiona! skeleton of great skili and reputation. To a connoisseur of phthisical development he wasa beauty, His arms were no thicker than slate pencils. his legs were invisible save against a black background, his chest was scooped like a saucer, and he had the most bewitching lit- tle pulmonary cough in the world. Toa museum enthusiast like Miss Clear, these fascinations were irresistible, and at the end of six ten-cent interviews which she obtained at wholesale rates for half a dollar, she found herself hopelessly enslaved. A week later, with many Pennsylvania blushes, she confessed the secret of her scul to the ema- ciated object of her affections, and, it being leap year, proposed and was accepted. A few days later they were married. it is very strange, after this romantic pre lude, to readin the Whiladelphia Bulletin the statement that after living 48 hours with her anatomical love. the bride “fell into a raging delirium and went home to her tather’s house.”’ At first sight this looks more like Chicago vacillation than Philadel- phia constancy. But later advices show that it was not because the bride wavered that she went to her home. Tilie true reason was this, on arriving at his house after the wed- ding, the skeleton removed the spangled suit which had garnished him in the museum. His beautv instantly disappeared: from the wife’s gaze, and he presented the semblance of 1 mysterious head floating aim- lessly around the room,apparently connected with the carpet only by a trailing white linen string. This unpleasant apparition threw the bride into a convulsion, with the sad emaegnente above narrated. If the end had been here, it would have been miserabie enough. But it was not. While the laad- lady, attracted by the bride’s bell-pulls and hysterics, was endeavoring to soothe her by kind words and salvolatile, her little girl seeing what she supposed to be her long lost balloon, seized it by the string and ran out to join her playmates. Since then the skele- ton has not been heard from, and both the bride’s family and the museum are in black. LEAP YEAR FIGURES. What Really Affects the Matrimonial Statistics. . From the Boston Globe. “This is leap year,” remarked the statisti- cal 7? Go pet the finishing figures toe weird an parative production of shingle nails jp sje and ’83, aa 2 “So it is,”” seconded the literary editor, with afresh dip of the muciliage brash he dashed off a sparkling paragraph which had found in an out-of-the-way exchange. “And about this time look out fora in matrimonial bonds,” putin the financial man, “Yes,’’ said the sentimental editor, having absorbed a quarter-section of the lunch- tiend’s pre-Adamite mince pié, “this is My Lord Cupid’s year of grace, when itis not violating the charter that a maiden shall hint to a lingering lover that ‘she will an’ he will,” when,the lady fair may become the suppliantand offer her heart and+ hand to the ‘one that she loves dearly’ ’— “And the men may take to the woods, broke in the statistical editor. ‘This leap lear business is all humbug and ought to be buried with thirteen at table, Wiliiam Tell and George Washington’s hatchet. I tell you, my boy, State street has more to do with the marriage crop than any year that you can divide with four, and tnese little stock- tickers knock your Cupid’s bows and arrows into the middie of the next centennial. All this flip-ma-guilder (the statistical editor has traveled) about love making the world go round looks very pretty on the Bijou stage and reads very weil io the weeklies, bus when times are dull and money tight, I take notice that he doesn’t do much to inake any- pe go round except duns for flowers and carriages. You’ll find the marriage record is a pretty good index of the condition of the times, go far back as you like. We'll begia with ‘68. That year there were 3,700 marriages in Boston. The number was annually larger, and the next. leap year shows 4,419. In’73 you know we reached the height of flush times, and 4,469 atrocities were cOmmiited in the name of Hymen (the statistician is alsoa bachelor). That year, you know, brought Biack Friday and the panie, and that fall and winter things began to tumble. In ’75 there were 3.400, a drop o1 a thousand iv two years. In ’76—leap year, mind you—only 2,900, and the city growin all this while, and the women getting thicker every day. Your leap-year theory didn’t seem to work in those times. Then the elec tion andy the eight-to-seven ousiness upset things again, and in 1873 there were but 2,800 marriages. Since then we've been picking up, averaging a gain of about 200a year. Eichty-two saw 4,634 weddings, and [ reckon this year will beat that, but just as sure as these créakers’ predictions of hard times come ane, you will see the marriage business take adrop this year that no leap- ing can overcome. ‘There’s nothing like good sharp figures to burst these sentimen bubbles every time.

Thus, while it is certain that there have been many cases of men being tried for others on a matter of personal resemblance, it {s also certain that such a combination of impossible circum- stances never did surround any one individual, as is represented in the case of Joseph Lesurques in “The Lyons Mail,” which was presented last night at the Olympic as the third representation in the Irving series. In the dual role of the up- right, good-hearted citizen and the drunken rob- ber and murderer Mr. Irving has made one of his most remurkabie successes, and, although the lay is a melodrama of the purest type, Mr. Irving 1as elevated its standard cansiderably by his ‘fine portraitures of Lesurques and Dubosc. which are in the very strongest contrast in the pictures of manhood represented. ee? The audience last evening had grown again and was the largest of the week up to that time. The St. Louis public are realizing the great worth of the actor who is giving them a series of repre- sentations which have not been equaled here for many years, and, however skeptical at first, are accepting Mr. Irving as one of the very finest actors who has ever appeared on locai boards. His work last evening Was exceedingly peg and it required absolute genius to overcome al the obstacies that Dame Nature has placed in this actor’s way, but this he did with absolute tri- umpb, and never has an audience been more in- terested or absorbed to the very end of a play. The opening scene represented an inn on the road between Lyons and Paris, and the entrance of Mr. Irving as the virtuous Lesurques, who is op his way to rescue his father from in- solvency, was the signal for & warm outburt of applause. The character is merely incidental until the startling charge of murder is made, but Mr. Irving elaborates it, making it prominent aud important by oe neat bits ot by-play and demonstrating the pecullar fond- ness for detail which marks ail of bis work. 7? His exit is followed aimost instantly by the entrance of the scoundrel Dubosc, a captain of robbers, and the contrast between the vicious ug- liness of the human brute an@ the mildnuess and piacidity of Lesurques is strikingly portrayed by Mr. Irving. He is tall, gaunt and angular, like his double. and there isa similarity of feature, but there all resemblance ends, and the beetling scowl and the imprinted stamp of vice and cruel- ty which hang over the ruffian’s features are as- sumed with wonderful effect by the actor. In this Mr. Irving’s extreme mobility of counte- nance is demoustrated, and as the change of character is almost in- stantaneous there _ scarcely lime to use any stage appliances in making it. Indeed it is the change of manner from the light-hearted free-stepping man ol houest purpose and good conscieuce, to the vice-besotted, shuffling, hab- itua!l sneaking fashion of the inborn villain, in which the changeis apparent, Both are pure, absolutely strong paintings of character and posi- tively different in every respect. *rF Dubose meets his confederates and his treat- meat of them is symbolical of the cruel villain he is. He drinks bis rum and throws the dregs in the face of Ferdinand. When Janettie,the woman he has betrayed, foilows him his brutal indiffer- ence is demonstrated iu a dozen characteristic ways. The coolness with which the rebbery at old Lesurques’ inn is planned and carried out, the by-play and action are notonly in full Keeplug with the role, but wonder- ful 10 the more minute bits of character study. The coolress and deliberation act sensibly upon the avaience, Who are worked up to a high state of iuterest aud excitement, and the Warto. mu.uer and the subsequent plunder- ing of the mallare drawn with a power which shows a wonderful and minute Knowledge of the methods of such outlaws. a The second act is devoted to the domestic life of Lesurques, and the forging of the chain of re- markabie incidents which put his life in such per- ilous jeopardy. Mr. Irving’s faults, of which we have heard s0 much, were more apparent and given stronger Gemoustration than iu any scene in which he has thus far appeared. The singular stride which conveys the idea that the actor ts destitute of kunee-joints and is about to iall forward on his face; his quaint, angular use ot his arms; tue awkward plucking atthe breast and exten- sion of the arms; the rolling of the head as though the neck was in a state of dislocation; the strange enunciation, which seems toinvolve a suaden twist of the shoulder with the delivery of each word; the utter lack in toto of all grace and smoothuess were noticeable almosttoa painful» devreé in the scene in which the suspicion of his presumed crime is first broached. But a few mo- ments later, however, all of these were forgotten and the actor had carried the audience with him inthe strengtu of his emotions in his powerful scene with his father, who urges him to kill him- self and save the honor of thefamily. It wasa grand emotional scene and Mr. Mead as ola Les- urques proved himself one of the most careful aud capable actors of this very powerful company. ° * * In the last act the part of Lesurques enters but Sslightiy; his vindication comes through the action of the betrayed woman, Janette, and the confes- sions of Dubosc’s partuers in the crime. Dubose has a strong scébe with the woman when be breaks iuto the Lesurques mansion to eliminate a record which would prove the innocence of Jo- seph, and his attempted murder of Janette is a very powertul piece of work. The closing scene of the play represents Dubosc having a debauch ina garret overlooking tle place of execution, and his trantic avxiety to witness tne head of his double fall is very strongly depicted by Mr. Irving. His glee when the exe- cution is about to take place overcomes his dis- cretion and he cries and shrieks with joy; at times throwing himself at full tength near the window in order to get closer to the scene. W hen the geng-d’arimes and the mop are coming to seize hii the scene is terrific in the extreme; he huris flower-pots upon them, and then he holds them at bay with the strength of a demon, and euts frant - ically with his long Knife at their a*ms and fin- gers as they push their way through the door. He lights like a demon, and in the melee a clever trausition’is made; a figure is substituted for Dubosc, and Lesurques enters with his daughter clluging to his neck, the tricolor is waved and the curtain falls. is Inthe above detail I have covered the chief pouits of Mr, Irving’s wonderful duuble delinea- lion. Miss Elen Terry made a prominent char- acter of Janeite, and Miss Millward was exceéd- ingly sweet and charming as Julie Lesurques, and displayed much strength in the scene wuere She bids her father farewell. Mr. Terriss gave a neat bit of Character as the dandy ruffian Cour- riol, and Messrs. Wenman and Archer were very clever as Choppard and Founiard. Mr. Mead was very powerlul in several of the scenes, and ut the end of the second act shared the honors with Mr. Irving, A very neat piece of work was done by Mr. Andrews as the boy Joliquet, and it was lull of earnest dramatic touches. 7 In the stage s8tting “The Lyons Maill” showed the same particular Care and attention as marked the previous productions. The first scene—an inn on the Lyons road—was avery elaborate set although contracted in proportions. The details of the interior; the quaininess of the window and the surroundings With the street beyond; the cos - tuming of the waiters and the wonderful stage ac- tion aud business all demonstrated Mr. Irving’s wondertul ability asa manager. The tights were superbly arranged and this was demunstrated inthe representation of Dubosc’s garret, where the back of the stage seemed = as though it was a sweep of absolute space beyond, The knowledge ot stage-dressing 1s per- fect, and by the management of afew c owls or draperies afineeffect is given to the most ordi- bary and Ccummon-pilace sets. ' eee To-night Mr. Irving will appear part of Mathias,in “The Bele” in his by Mr. Wills ot the ” a dramati ton ’ atization powerful novel by Ere Chatriau—a play which is somber in yo simplicity, andis almost a monologue in the sd portance of the one great character. It demon strates the spectacle of a man killed ov = right, and is exceedingly thrill- ing from beginning to close. “The Belis’’ will be supplemented by Mrs. Cowley’s fine old comedy “ Belle’s Stratagem,”in which Mr. irving makes his first apfhearance here in a light comedy role; that of Doricourt: Miss Ellen Terry appearing as Letitia Haray. Owin to the extreme length of the bill, the curtain will rise at 7:45 and itis hopea that the audience will be seated at that time. The story of the murder of the Polish Jewis told almost as soon as th curtain lifts and the usual annoyance of late com- ers can be very nicely dispen with. 2 see To-morrow will mark the close of Mr. , reat engagemeut and in tne afer: - having an excellent | seum is ~e very bard on the public with the elastic skin man and other wonuers. CHERUB. The Musical Union. The tnird concert of the St. Louis Musical Un- ion was given atthe Natatorium last night, and the audience was a splendid one. exceeding in numbers either of the former occasions. The programme, alluded to at length yesterday was splendidly perirrmed, and Miss Laura Fisher, the soloist, sang her numbers most_ charmingly. The Rienzi overture and the Danse Macatre were splendidiy performed. Mr. Victor Ehling per- formed a ballad by Chopin, and a Lszt polonaise most artistically. The concert concluded at an early hour.

There is one thing about a diamond that makes it desirabie and valuable where anything else would not be; it is always a good investment, be- cause no change of fashion can alter the essential worth of it and it never becomes worn or of sec- ond-hand value. In this respect it is fitted to be the universal exchange currency of the world. In addition to this, its superb loveliness as an article of personai adornment, all the more In- creases its desirableness. This being the case, whenever an opportunity presebDts itself to obtain bargains in diamonds, real bargains and stones that are carefully selected and guaranteed, per- sons desiring to purchase shouid take immediate advantage of it. The Mermod & Jacecard Jewelry Company, at Fourth and Locust, in preparation for the trade of the past year, purchased an enormous stock of the best diamonds in the for- eign markets at a time when diamonds were much lower than they are at present, and by rea- son of the quantity at rates under the prices then. A large part of this stock bas been sold, but tuere remains yet on hand a considerable num- ber of stones fully as gooa as those sold, as all were selected. This remnant the company de- sires to sell, because the diamond buyerof the firm wil! soon leave for Europe to order a pew im- portation for the coming year. For this reason the prices have been fixed at the lowest possible margin. and it may be safely said that the best bargainsin diamonds ever offered to the public may be obtained now at this establishment, and all should take advantage of them at once.
