Continuation of the Investigation of the Bribery Business—Tom Rohan on the Stand—Interview With Superintend- ent Cochran—Delegate Pat Brennan’s Pieture—No Real Desire to Push the Investigation. The committee of investigation of the House of Delegates were to have met this morning at 9 o’cluck, but when a Post-DisPATCH reporter walked into the Clerk’s office at that hour, the messenger boy and the rain that beat against the windows were the only indcations that there was any life about the premises. Before many minutes elapsed Delegates Kaiser, Alt, Scha- wacker, Marriott, Davis, Brurggeman and Speak- er Walsh appeared. Senator O’Brieu strolled in, and after him came the clerks and a number of newspaper men, Messrs. W. L. B. G. Allen, A. Kerr and Jim Hardy. Three members of the committee being present the re, was every reason to believe that the investigation would go on, but Judge Davis held things back forthe arrival of Mr. Slevin, That gentlemaao not arriving, Judge Davis at a quarter to 10 o’clock called the — omer. was the first witness put on. Ae testified that he knew Mr. Cochran of the Brush Association. Cochran came to him and told him thatthe elec- tric wire bill had passed the Upper House and had been laid over inthe Lower, Witness had been doing all the iron work of the association, and when asked if he knew any of the delegates said that he did; he knew and thought he had influence with Mr. Brennan. This conversation oc- curred on the street. Wituess tola Mr. Cochran that he thought Breunau would vote for tne bill. He went to see Brennan at Brennan’s office. He asked him what he thought about voting tor the bill. Brennan said he would like to see some of the officers of the association. The witness took Mr. Cochran to Brennaa’s office. He did not know what Cochran said to him. Sullivan aud McAllister were present, After awhile they all went across the street to the saloon. They there alked about the bill. Brennan said he knew the witoess well and had known bim for a long time. Rohan did not remember that anything was said about bricklaytux, except that Brennan was a bricklayer. Witness went away with Cochran. If there was apy conversation between Cochran and Brennan, it must have been at a table in wituess’presence. Witoess was not sure, but thought he got up and went away for about five minutes. Witness was closely examined here as to the relative positions of himself Cochran and Brennan in the saloon, but his memory Was poor. Cochran wild Bren- an that U the bill passea there would be plenty of work for men in the city. Witness did not hear Brennan say whether he would support or oppose the bill. He did not say he controlled any momber of the House. Tue only “consideration” witness heard taiked about was that he, witness, should gei the iron work. He did not hear Brennan ask for any money to “trate the boys“ with. He did not hear Brenuau meution the mames of any delegates except in ex- planation. of who the men in the of- fice were, and these names were Sullivan and McAllister. He did not hear any- thing about $25 or $100 for a vote, and did not be- lieve that it could have been said. When the witwess met Brennan on the street and Brennan said he wauted to see the vfficers, witness had no particular impression as to whether Breunan was for or against the bill; witness aid aot Know that he said to Mr. Cochran that Breanae was not in- clined to vote tor the bill. That he could not re- member. sion. He never told Mr, Cochran that Brenaan said there was an obstacie lu the way. He simply tola Mr. Cochran that Brennan wanted to see him. Witness was here cross-examined by Mr. Sievin, and said in answer to questions that he didn’t know what he thougnt when Breunau said he wanted to see“ the officers. Mr. Bruegee- man, who bas & Weakness for asking about sa- loons, then questioned witness as to the positions of the trio ia the saloon, whether the conversation was loud or subdued, etc, Witness saia he was absent from the table for only 4 short time. The witness left the saloon with Cocbran and dia not know where Brennan went. Mr. Marriott then handled witness in a business-like manner, and compel! ed him to say that he did net hear all the conversation, and that be left the table for perhaps five minutes. Mr. Schbawacker next bad a whack at witness and made him say thai he did van. This was in Brennan and McAllister’s office The conversation between Brennan and Cochran was too low to be heard by the others. They left He did not iutend to give tuat impres- . bad no distiget recollection of anything at al; ex- cept that the trio treated twice around, MR. J. M. WHITMAN was the next witness. He sald be was a news- paper man now, and was on the Globe-Democrat. He knew McChesney ; he knew who Judge Terry was. About the “Schawacker Sold” item he knew that the body of the article was street rumor. He first knew that it was street rumor shortly after the adjournment of the last session of the House of Delegates. He had a.conversation with Warten F.McChesney about this matter, the day after the first riot at Cincinnati. It was after the igt of April. He did not think he ever had a conversation with Judge Terry. At the last meeting of the last session be talked with a number of delegates about the mat- ter; Judge Terry migut have been one of them; Schawacker was one; Slevin was one; he did not know who the ‘others were; thé cotversation with Schawacker was this: Witness told bim they hud a bad gag on him: ‘he asked witness what was meant. The witness said the boodle racket,” and began to question Scha- wacker. Schawacker became angry, and int mated that he was insulted, It was very di- cult to repeat a conversation of that kind, as so many questions were asked. Witness asked Schawacker if he had made any agreement to vote for the Forest Park bill, the cable road bill, the Missouri extension bill and electric light Dill. Schawacker said it was all a a—

V., April 20.—Arrangements are completed for the Republican State Convention, which meets here at noon to-day. There is an intense feeling of uncertainty asto the outcome ‘of the struggle for supremacy in the Convention, put it is generally conceded that the Edmunds’ del © * egates, if they work in unison, can throw the or- a aa 8 1 1 7 cS ganization of the Convention into the hands of either the Arthur or the Blaine men. The Ea- munds men held several conferences last night, nnd overtures were made them by the leaders of the Blaine and Arthur forces, but they refused to . 3 treat or name any terms other than naming four > delegates at large and a temporary chairman, " The Arthur leaders accepted the proposition of mme Famunds men this morning, and the latter A named Andrew D. White, Edwin Packard, Theo fore Roosevelt and Senator John J. Gilbert as delegates at large, and George Z. Erwin tempor- ary chairman. The Edmunds men claim from 60 . 1 to 60 delegates, while the adherents of Arthur '. claimafew over 200. It requires 249 votes to control the Convention, and should the combina- tion hold there is likely to be a short session.

Mr. Roosevelt then nominated Nathaniel C. Boynton, the Edmunds-Arthur can- didate, for temporary chairman. Warner Miller, moved to substitute the name of Edmund L. Pitts for temporary chairman. The roll call was ordered. THERE WAS TREMENDOUS APPLAUSE mingled with hisses when Thomas C. Platt voted for Pitts. The secretary announced four hun- fred and ninety-one votes cast, of which Boynton received two hundred and fifty-one, Pitts two hundred and forty. Deafening cheers greeted the announcement of the result The cbairman declared Boynton appointed.

CLEVELAND, ORIO, April 23.—There is mingled enthusiasm and confusion among the delegates this mofning. The city is filled with strangers. The only gentieman sofar mentioned for per- manent chairman of the convention is Hon. Ben Butterworth of Cincinnati, If he is not elected a delegate to the Nationa) convention from the First District there is a strong probability of nis heing made permanent chairman. The platform adopted by the convention willinclude resolu- tions condemning Congress for its action on the wool question, and condemning the Unio Legis- lature for its disgraceful actions. A resolation wili be offered suggesting John Sherman as the most available candidate for President. A resolution indorsing the administration of Presi- dent Arthur will be adopted also. The Blaine men are setting forth every effort to have a solid laine State delegation sent to Chicago. Last the Sherman men were disposed to talk of a compromise, proposing to send the delegation up- instructed for any candid ate, but the supporters the Maine statesman would ton would detract in the least from the atrea their oandidate in the National vention. Late last night it was to held a Blaine mass N one of the public halls this evening. ih this idea in view arrangements were made which circulars will be left at the different bo- this morning, announcing the meeting and enlisting the support and co-operation of all ne delegates. A meeting of the various dele- ~~ instructed for one known to be favorable the nomination of Blaine will de held, after a call will be issued for the MEETING IN THE EVENING.

While the subject of St. Bernards is warm the following communication to the American Field wilt be found Interesting: 3 ZURICH, SWITZERLAND. EDITOR AMERICAN FIELD:—A dispute about St. Bernard dogs has been carried on for some time between German aud Swiss kynologues, in the German paper Der Hund. The discussion came to an end r because the German party, Who began the dispute, failed to furnish an auswertothe Swiss arguments; instead of doing so, they now relate to their countrymen all kinds of wonderful stories concerning English- bred St. Bernard dogs. Besides, a German, Mr. M. G. Lang, who also took active part in the dispute, now tries every possible .manger 10 dis- credit the real Swiss S. Bernard dogs, He had one long article, all against thesSwiss breed, pub- lished in the Awerican Field, and 1 am sorry to see (hat bis assertions have also appe in French sporting papers. This obliges me to make your reauers acquainted with the argu- ments of the German kynologues, especially with those of Mr. Lane. This.gentieman is of the 1 that for years past no rational breeding of St. Bernard dogs has been done in Switzerland, and altogether thas vo Swiss breeder knew what a proper St. Bernard dog JooKed like, stud books being out of question. He is of the oplujon that a dog which is not en- tered in a kennel stud book is to be considered as a mongrel, and that fer this reason the Swiss Si- Bernard dogs are of no use whatever. Mr. Lang proposes tothe Germans to aboiish the name St. Bernard dog altogether, and io adopt instead the name mountain dog (berg hund), Heturther bas the boldness to say that the celebrated St. Bernard Barry (Barry was ove of the vest dous the monks of St. Bernard ever had, and he saved the lives of over forty men io the mountains, during the severe suo storms), which is shown in the Berner Museum, was notb- ing else than a common “butcher dog,” such as there are hunareds of in Germany. The best reply to this is, that the prominent and well- kuown breeder of St. Bernard dogs, Mr. H. Schu- macuer, in Holligen, near Berne, always regarded Barry as the ideal of bis race, aud has always carefully bred his dogs accordingly. Mr. Lang further says that the only proper color of St. Bernard dogs is red,mixed with white, and that in future (!) all other specimens are to be rejected as being ug y. r. Lang aiso says that he had gone through the wuole of Switzerland in seareu of a genuine St. Bernard dog without being able to flud one; all of a sudden he dropped on his Ideal of such a dog in Eugland, tm the shape Of a class of and white dogs, and, probatum est, these and no oth- ers are the real St. Bernard dogs. It is only afew years age that the Germans hardy Knew how to class had brought up, and whieh they called long-hatred St. Beruard dogs; however, this name did not suit them, and suddenly they had the — thought to call hem Alpine dogs (Alpen b » Now, - day, the Swiss breeders tell them that. their long- haired dogs are nothing else but St. Bernards, wit bthe exception’ of their coats.

However, the real connoisseur judges o ise, but at the same time the connoisseut will never acknowledge à dog as a St. Bernard which is in reality no such thing.

A Civil Service Defense of the Appotat- ment of Col. Dyer’s Brother-in-Law. Some of Major Whitucey’s recent appoinyuents in the Custom House bave caused considerable comment about town, notably the choiee of bis brother for head janitor and of Mr. Carstaphen, the brother-in-law of Col. D. P. Dyer, lor inspector. The latter gentleman was four years ago a candi- date for State Tre@surer before the Democratic copveniion,and his appolntment has brought about much criticism among those who hoid the pure faity of Republican sm. A reporter called on Mr. Whitney this morning and told nim that the Post-DisrPatcH was win ing to tell his side of the story, and he at once began, “My brother,” said he, “I have appointed head janitor, a place where he re- ceites $100 per month, vecause in his former piace as store-keeper he gave so much satisfaction amu conducted ail the business entrusted to his care in such a manner that every One agreed that he merited promotion.

1 Continued To- Day. i e e e 4 Subpena for Judge Van Wagoner, _ Which McChesney Did Not Serve—Ad- _ ditional Details of the $2,000 Offer. Warren F. McChesney, otherwise known as the arch schemer, is in that position in which men of hismethods least like to be. While he is fac- ing a jury in the Criminal Court on a chargé of fraud, he is undergoing an investigation at the -@ity Hall and helplessly awaiting the outcome of certain com, lications over which be has lost con- trol. Iu this annoying positivn he has even lost his self possession, and bas been guilty of some very foolish tactics, The special objects of his are Judge Wegoner and the attornevs for State, and his hard feeling has betrayed him into some bad Munders. When court adjourned Monday evening, McChesney wrote a subpena for Judge Van Wagoner. When the attorneys for McChesney heard of this move they promptly pronounced it foolishuess, which did not add any to the detendant's serenity. It took the lawvers three hours and a-balf of hard and rapid talking, yesterday afternoon, to settle whether Zach. Mitebell should be ayowed to tell the private conversation which be had with McChesney when the latter sent for him in regard to the $2,000 offer made to the Brewers’ Associa- tion. Mechesney's attorneys asserted that the conversation which took place in their client’s office, beiween him and Mitchell, was a privileged one, as it pecurred between a lawyer ana nis client. Judge Van Wagoner finally ruled that, although Mitchell thougut be was MeChesney’s attorue 7 he knew it was from other parties, through McChesney, and. as the litter repudiated the whole matter anyhow, the Court concluded to let Mitebeil detail the conver- sation. Miteheli said that when he arrived ta McChesney’s office, after some preliminary talk, he toid McChesney that he was the attorney of the salvon-keepers’ association in the county, and was consequently on friendly terms with tbe Brewers’ Association. McChesney replied that he knew that, and that he had accordingly sent for hin. He said the Sunday clause f the Downing law related, he thought, only to St. Louis and the old city of St. erdinand, now Florissant. Mr. Mitchell cogtinued: “I told him that tne Town Council were aliin fayor of Sunday liquor selling, and that an election would result in favor of liquor selling on Sunday. Couneil by consent to refuse to call the election, andthata mandamus should then be prepared ana served on the Council, and the question would then be rusbed o the Supreme Court and ‘a decision reached before the cases Were decided in Juage Noonan’s court; the impression being that the Supreme Cour: would sustain the man- damus. 1 told him that 1 would have to protect the Town Council if lezal proceedings were re- n, and when he asked me what my fee would I told him $1,000. He said that was about right, and I went to work to arrange matters in the county. I drafted the petition for the man- dumus and gave it to Mr. MeChesney, and he told me that everything was all right an that he had talks with Lemp and McGinn The matter was then allowed to rest until the 24th of September, when I received apostal card saying: ‘Goon witli the case.’ “The next day I received another letter saying “Friend Mitchell: ‘Give them —, McGinnis has spoiled things,and sald none but a —— tool wouid think of such a thing. “Up to this time 1 thought 1 was working in paraion y with the Brewers’ Assoctation, and 1 couldn't understand the letter. so I came into town the next day and called ou McChesney. He told me that MeGinniss had persuaded the brew- ers that the scheme would not be to their interest, aud that it was best to throw the whole matter over. Ithentound that I had got into a bad scrape, aud immeaiately washed my hands of the whole affair.” Witness further said that during the time he had no conversiitiou with any officer of the Brew- ers’ Association. Mr. Mitchell was cross-examined very briefly. Phil Stock, secretary of the Brewers’ Assvocia- ‘lion, followed, and said that he had told MeCues- ey that Mr. McGinuts nad told’ him the 52,000 proposition had been madr by McOhesney ayor Costello of Florissaut and five Council- men were put on the stand next to testify that they never offered opposition to calling an elet- tion. This testimony was introduced to im Chesney’s statement to McGinniss regarding the opposition to calliug the election in Florissant, Which opposition Mechesuey had represented might resuitin mandamus proceedings and iv bringing the whole Sunday ciosing matter to the Suprome Court. All the witnesses swore that there was no such objection; that the election was held aud that the saloon men wou. TO-DAY’S SESSION. Mr. Ellis Waiuwright was tue Orst witness to- day. He testifea that he was a brewer anda member of the Brewers’ Association, and that J. ©. McGinnis was the only attorney * loved, ana Tat ne defended the Lemp case. urther les tifleu that the power of employing attorneys lay withthe Board of Trustees, aud there was no such commmttee as the finaucial committee which McChesuey described :o Mitenell. It was then proposed ta send for Lemp to strengthen this stukment of the case, but the defense udmitted it aud the State rested, Mr. McGinnis was recalied by the defense for further cross examination. “You were belore the Grand Jury when this Indictmeut was tound?“ be was asked. * es, sir, prior to the date of indictment.” “Do you know Robert Wilson?“ “i kuow several of that name, but I have not geen avy in Court.“ Do you know the Robert Wilsonjwhose name is indorsed tu Luis indictment?” do not,” “Was the name of Wilson mentioned lu the in- terview between yourself and McChesney?’’. “No, sir. The day the ludictmenut was returned McChesney asked me if I knew the Robert Wiison whose name was iu the indictment. I never Knew of Mr. Mitcheil’s connection with the mat- ter until alter the indictment.”’ “You knew McCuesney was not a lawyer?” knen bin as a doctor in our regiment.” Dia you have trouble in the army, and what did it grow out or” “I had; but it Would be necessary to give the istory of the regiment to give the history of this. Was never out of the service but was bonorabiv moustered out. I was away from the regiment.“ A number of questions concerning MeChesney’s and McGinnis’ army relations brought out the following story! »I Was captain, but an attempt Was made to dismiss me, apd 1 did not exercise the functions oi my office. 1 Was reinstated by a Special order of Gen. Grant in August, 1663.“ “Have you any idea that McChesney caused that uoubter“ have not.

It is said his docu- ments and hid testimony will disclose the $nethods of the Star Route Ring and sustain the charges of bribery against Kul.LOG. The conviction of the latter by the present prose- cutors will put Briss’ management of the other prosecutions onthe very pinnacie of infamy. But a jury that will convict a ring thief or treasury robber possessed of any political influence has never yet been found in Washington. — ned THE PACIFIC ROAD DEBT. The House Committee on Pacific Railroads has at least declined to adopt the suggestions of the majority of the sub-committee. Messrs. WILson of Iowa and JorvDAN of Ohio made a report that was an insult to the intelligence and honesty of the House, when they declined toamend any of the real de- fects of the Thurman act, and seriously ar- gued that it was the duty of Congress to let the earnings of the subsidized roads be used to build other roads for the owners, instead of to pay their indebtedness to the Govern- ment. The full committee nas made THourso's minority report the basis of a bill extending the provisions of the Thurman act to all. the roads aided with loans of Govern- ment bonds, and amending those provisions by requiring each of those roads to pay thirty-five per cent of their net earnings into a sinking fund, to be invested by the Secretary of the Treasury for the liquidation of their indebtedness. Their interests are liberally cared for in the provisions for the management of this fund. As to the payments due for transportation of Government troops, etc., hitherto retained and applied to the sinking fund, which action the courts dave held to be in violation of the prior lien ef the railroad bondholders, the bill provides that this money, amounting with interest to about $10,000,000, shall not be returned to the compan ies, but remain in the sinking fund to be applied to the ex- tinguishment of said prior lien. Another amendment authorizes the Secretary of the Treasury to retain for this purpose all future sums due the roads for Government transportation on all lines leased or operated by them tothe extent of their interest in such earnings. These provisions, compared with those very feeble attempt to secure the amount due the Government, especially as they are accom panied by no definition § ok whatis meant by net earnings. That was really the weak pointof the Thurman act. It makes very little difference to the roads whether they are required to set apart 5 per cent or 50 per cent for the payment of their debts, so long as they are permitted to com- pute net ear nings as heretofore. It is notor- ious that the net earnings of the Central Pa- cific in sixteen years made four people worth $80,000,000. The other roads they now own are worth far more than the Certral Pacific, and the Government has no lien on them, The Union Pacific is supposed to own a vast amount of the stock and bonds of other corporations, and it ls believed that the cost of the same has entered into the computation of its net earnings. Anyhow the percentage of net earnings they have paid under this Thurman act so far, is ri- diculously small compared with the business these roads do, and the monopoly rates they charge. It is es timated that this bill will increase the Pacific road sinking fund payments about $1,500,000 a year, and that this will amount toan aggregate increase of about $26,000,000 by the time the bonds fall due in 1898. According to no calculation we have yet seen, will this secure one-half of the huge debt that will then be due to the Gov- ernment. Such legislation mav be excused on the ground that half a loaf is better than no bread. But it looks like trifling with, if not conniving at, a monstrous fraud. The net earnings of those roads are sufficient to enable them to meet the interest on the Government bonds they borrowed, and to provide a fund for the payment of the same at maturity. That, too, without prejudice to any priot hen, and without crippling them in any way. — THE COWHIDED JUDGE. The cowhiding of Judge Rerp of the Su- perior Court at Mount Sterling, Ky., the other day, has been treated in a way that in- dicates the dawning of anew spirit in that State, According to all Kentucky prece- dents, Judge Rerp would have been required to “Jay for“ his assailant with a shotgun and give the Coronera job. Bat this affair came so close on the assassination of a Judge of the Court of Appeals that bar and bench and press united in appeals to Judge Rap to set an example of reliance upon law and to make the issue whether the law of Kentucky would suffice to protect her Judges in the discharge of their duties. Judges of the Court of Appeals telegraphed to him implor- ing him not to let any one Induce him to use personal violence towards his ° assailant, and a mass meeting called in Mount Sterling by the bar and leading citizens adopted the following resojutions: Resolved, That the wantoh and tmexeusavle assault made by J. J. Cornelison oun Hon, Richard Reid, Preawting Judge of the Superior Court of Kentucky. bas filled us with the utmost indigna- tien, and justly merits the unqualified condem- nation of all good citizens. Resolvéd, That the time has come tn the history of Kentucky when the people are called upon to decide the tesue clearly made in this Instance, wrongs after the comunission of said assault upon him, all the circumstances, has exhibited the highest degree of moral courage. Instead of finding himseif a respected and popular desperado, Mx, ConxEILsOo is in a fair way to suffer the extreme penalty of the law, and in addition to be disbarred and otherwise se proscribed by public opinion make kis living somewhere else. It will be a good day for Kentucky when she begins to rank mora) courage above that very common sort which men share with brutes. — — — TARIFF PALAVER, Mn. Monnison’s majority of two on the motion to take up his tariff bill was a most unfortunate victory. It was not a large enough majority to secure the passage of the tariff billin the House, which would have been an empty triumph at the best, while it was just large enough to open the door for an interminablé discussion of the tariff whieh nobody wanted. The net result is not tariff reform but mere wind, sound and fury, signifying nothing. No one is going to change his mind about the tariff on account of anything that may orcan besaid. Notoneof the seventy members who have put their names down for speeches on the subject will pretend that he has anything new te say; or that he will change the opinion of a single citizen. Of all possible debates it isthe most idle and fruitless, as it is, unfortunately, the most long-winded. From a party point of view the result is most unfortunate. Democracy can not pos- sibly gain any strength from the discussion. It only exposes itselfat all points. Every mistake, every unguarde d expression of ah incautious debater, will be taken advantage of, misrepresented and magnified bv the enemy, dormant and careless opposition will be a roused and inten sified and new weapons will be put into the hands of the hostile in- terests of protection to be used effectively in the campaign. Our advice to tariff reformers who pro- pose to encumber the Record with tariff speeches is, “Don’t.” — BLACKMAILING ENTERPRISE. The testimony of Mr. ALLEN and of Mr. COCHRAN bears on its face conclusive evi- dence of its truthfulness. If they had hada motive for misrepresentation, it would have been on the other side, and the public will accept thelr stateinents without question. Their evidence shows that a very impor- tant and valuable enterprise came near being biackmalied out of the city. A swarm of politieal tramrs, beggars and leeches sur- rounded the Brush Electric Light Company and demanded all kinds of dishonest pay- meuts as the price of their consent to carry- ing on the business inthe city of St. Louis. This is, perhaps, the most contemptible case of blackmail we have been called on to chronicle, but it differs in degree only, not in kind, from the attempts made on every enterprise, public or private, which is com- pelled to obtain municipal legislation for any purpose in St. Louis. This dangerous and dishonest power of e BY should be taken away from the Municipal Assembly. Municipal privileges should be made a matter of iaw and of right, not of discrimination and favor. It should be a part of the Jaw of the State that no city should have the right to grant any exclusive privilege orto discriminate against any enterprises, but that all corpora- tions should enjoy the same municipal rights. Then an end would be put to a fruit- ful source of munictpal temptation and cor- ruption, a nnd Ir is announced that the Arthur and Ed- munds forces have agreed upon a combina- tion to control the Utica convention to-day, the Kdmunds men having 60 or 80 votes, the Arthur men over 200, and 249 being required to control. What with this combination against him in New York, and the juggles by which he is cheated in Pennsylvania and other States, Mr. BLAtxx's boom is en- countering serious obstructions. It had an ominous look when in Pennsyl¥ania, his native State and stronghold, the convention instructed for BLAINE by an overwhelming vote, but named delegates numbers of whom declare that they will not be bound by the instructions. — Tux English detectives have utterly failed to obtain a single dynamite clew in France. They have been swarming in this country for years with similar results. Their failure athome on the very spot of dynamite out- rages,continued for years, should satisfy the British press that they will never do any better elsewhere, and that their wild hunt for dynamiters in foreign countries ia a gross trand. SS The Biue and Gray. From the Boston Herald. No one can visit the Southern cities where fed. eral and confederate cemeteries are maintained without being struck by the contrast in the ap- pearance of the two, These “divouacs of the dead” typify and will perpetuate the difference between a successful and a lost cause. The Union cemetery tells of the care of a great and rich government. The fénces are of iron; the long rows of heaastones are of marble; the walks and graves are neatly kept; flowers bloom in rich profusion, and, over all. floats {ree the starry flag for which the buried brave men died. It is all as it should be, The government of the Union can- not do less than ta thus bonor and care for the is none the less painful to a generous and sensi- tive visitor, even though al) bis interests and sympathies were bound up in the Union cause, The aifference is that between loving care with and without money, organization and responsible 22 * e 8 = 2 Pate | et found it out.

The same difference exists in the condition ana care of the survivors of the two mies. The government has paid out since the @ of the War nearly $650,000,000 in pensions to the soldiers otthe Union, and is now daistribnting among them over. $60, a year. Disabdled veterans are provided with comforta ble homes, For the able-bodied and capable, a record of faithful ser- vice in the army is generally a passport to office or occupation. All this, agal u, is as it should be, save that the granting of pensions bas assumed unwarranted proportions, under the interested management of claim agents, But from all these advantages and rewards the Southern soldiers are for the most part debarred, and against the , fortunes of war and the logic of events, to their dicret be it sald, they have not protested. None the less, it is hard. P Piatforms and Candidates. From the Boston Herald. nd) The Republican caucus managers and wire pmil- ers do not seem to realize thata large part of thelr strength in the past bas been due to the support they have received from the men who have only been restrained from casting Demo- cratic ballots because the Democratic party has not had she courage to advance any distinctive policy, and because the candidates put forward by the Democracy have not been altogether ac- ceptable. But with Mr. Blaine and high protec- tion on the one hand, and Mr. Bavard, let us say, and tariff reform on the other, there would be not the least ground tor hesitancy. The sober, thinking men who have been numbered in the Repubiican organization, but who care only for party so far as party is the embodiment of some principle in government, will gravitate to the Democracy just as naturally as water runs down hill, Neither rhetoric nor oratory concerning the great historic party-¢an at this time offset a bad policy and abad nomination. The Demo- cratic party of the House of Representatives has shown that, under its present leadership, it has not only high aims, but à sufficiency of courage, and hence, while nochange may this year be made in the tariff,arecora will be estamiished which cannot fail to be ef inestimable service to the Democracy from Maine to California. Minnesota's Kevenne Reformers. From the St. Paul Pioneer Press (Rep.) It is a cause for just pride aud congratulation to the people of Minnesota that the Representa- tives of this State cast the deciding vote which determined that tariff reform should not be laid away in the Congressional archives to slumber peacefully until some less timid assembly should awake to the necessity of doing justice to the masses Of our people. In voting for the consider- ation of the bill, Messrs. Nelson, Strait and Wakefield were true to the wishes of their consti- tuents, true to the platforms yn which they were chosen, and true to the cause of the public wel- fare. Itis something so unusual for Representa- tives to rise to the imagined necessity of a narrow and unreasoning party fealty whena great party issue comes to the front, that Minnesota is right- fully proud of the action of a majority of her dele- gation in the lower House. Heaven Avenges the Morhers-in-Law. From the New York Sun. Julian Martinette, an old circus clown em- ployea with Sells Bro.s’ circus, feil dead last night while endeavoring to amuseatent full of people with coarse jokes and antics. He was in the act of perpetrating the ola time mother-in-law joke when he suddenly reeled, put his hana to bis head and fell dead in the ring. The audience thought that bis dropping so suddenly was a part of the programme, and laughed and cheered as the circus jester lay dead on the sawdust. His death is supposed to have been caused by heart disease, resulting from over-excitement. He was 63 years of age, and was at one time proprietor of the Martinette and Ravel pantomime company. He had been with Sells Bros, for one week only. The Surplus Resolution Left Out. From Wharton barket’s American. In the platform adopted wo find a repetition, word for word, of the vigorous tariff resolution passed a year ago. The resolution concerning the use of the national surplus pending the pay- ment of the national debt does not re-appear, for the reason, we presume, that the subject is not vet nnder discussion. That the support of the policy outlined last year is much greater now among the Republicans of Pennsylvania than it then was is entirely certain, while it is absurd to presume that the friends of Mr. Blaine, maxing a large majority ef the convention, would think ill of a measure which he has so earnestly and con- spicuously advocated. we — — Arthur Out of Sorta. rom the Chicago Times. It the President finds fault with his matutinal chop and scolds Aleck fer making his cocktail too strong of water, no reasonable person can much biame bim. There is much going on in this busy time of politics to exasperate a much better tem- pered man than he, and when it has come to pass that he can’t take up a newspaper without seeing that some District or State Convention has en- dorsed his administration and instructed for some other feliow, itis not surprising that he should be a trifie out of sorts. ' — — Mr. Tiiden's Strength. From the New York herald. Mr. Tilden never was that man physically: who caused the belief that he was of strong consti- tion. Ten years ago he was as feeble in appear- ande as be is now. Chief Justice Taney always had the same style. When the latter was a young lawyer a man visited him with the idea of be- coming g client, but retreated with tne belief that Mr, Taney would not live long en ough to see the case through, Afterward Mr. Taney saw the burial of the grandchildren of the gentieman. Thrilling Scene on Change. From the Republican. The standing water in the basin of the fountain was cleaned out yesterday and the basin washed. Before taking the water out the three large gold fish in the basin were caught and placed in a tub of clear water, and the hase after the fish created considerabie amusement, as the finny creatures would wriggle out of their captors’ hands and dart off into the water. MISSOUR!

The Boss Infidel’s Proposed Sum - mer Residence. „ Colonel Bob's Expensive Wooden Struct- ure--Plans and Cost of the Building A Fine Summer Abode, Speciai Correspondence of the Post-Dispatch. WASHINGTON, April 21.—Plans of Col. Bob Ip- gersoll’s log-house in New Mexico have reached bere. They are unique and hence interesting. The house isa more expensive affair than that of Joaquin Miller’s, the poet of the Sierras, whose log-house on the hill, just north from the White House, overlooks Washington. Col. Inger- soll's summer resideuce in Colfax County, New Mexico, isto be, according to the plans which your correspondent has just had the privilege of seeing, a huge affair. The rooms will number over twenty, some of them as large as a good sized New Mexico house, and as they are atrung to- gether in the most peculiar and fantastic shapes possible the buliding will be a curious one. COL. INGERSOLL, as has been already announced, bas recently pur- chased from ex-Senator Dorsey of Star-Route fame an interest in his huge cattle ranche in New Mexico. This rauche ts located in Colfax Coun- ty, in the northeast portion of New Mexico, and consists of some 24,000 acres of land in over 100 “locations,” which include all the valuable springs in that section ofthe eounty. That they do things on a large sealetn Newz Mexico 1s shown by tbe single fact that the county. in which this ranch is situated is as large as the State of Massachusetts. Dorsey’s ranch, whicn is vaiued at $2,000,000 and has 45,000 head of cattle on it, is located about the center of the county. * this he is building this house for Col. Ingersoll. The building is to be entirely of Jogs, with the bark upon them, but dressed down thin and well oiled. Some of the rooms, as will be seen by the plans given below, are more than twenty feet square, aud trom that run down to half that size. The in- terior is to be finished in woods, mountain mahogany and white pine, finished in hot oil. Some of the rooms will be plastered, others fin- ished with this native wood. To such an extent is the rustic idea carried in the construction of this queer, quaint building that even the window- frames are to be of wood, with the bark still upon it. The windows are to be of odd, fantastic shapes, with stained glass: no two of the 76 or 100 in the great building are, alike. Col. Ingersoll’s family consists of Dut four peo- ple—himself and wife aad two daughters—yet the house is to be large enough for thirty people. The entire building is to be only one story in height, except asto the library, which ts sur- rounded by an observatory 30 feet high. Work- men are now busily engaged in laying founda- tions, haulivg logs from the groves, neatly dress- ing them down and polishing them yp, and soon the walis will begin to make their appearance above ground. From this time until July from TWENTY TO THIRTY WORKMEN will be constantly engaged upon it. To build an ordinary log house is no slight task, but when you come to build one with over twenty rooms which are connected in the most absurd and fantastic manner with all sorts of angles and quaint de- sigus which are to cost money and take time, tt is a still greater task. Col. Ingersoll's log house will cost [rom $10,000 to $15,000. The estimate on the house liseli is $10,000, and when fences, and fountains, and grounds, and telephones and af- faire of this kind are added, the cost will run up to nearly $15,000. Telephones and log houses are not supposed to go ig A weil together, yetitisa curious fact that Col. Ingersoll, in this lar awa Western retreat, upon a ranch which it takes al- most a day to ride across, Will be in constant tele- phonic connection with five or six towns, and with a large number of intelligent people. Trinidad, Col., Raton, New Mexico; Troyberg, Capilin and Springer are all to be connected by telephone wiih the new house. The curious uctagonal - brary at the westernend of the great house is to be well furnished with books, for Col. Ingersoll and his family are to spend the summer months from Juve to October there. Every room is to be turuisned with a large fire-place, and there will be large tall chimneys, some inglde aud some out- side, as the taste of the architect may suggest, constructed of red brick and dressed stone. There will be broad veraudas aud wide balls, the win- duws large aud roofs high and steep. The dis- tanee around this huge, straggling, lantastic log structure will be 940 feet, almost a quarter of 4 mile. What Col. Ingersoll’s iaea is in thus preferring to bury himself in the far Southwest during the summer months when the glories of the seasiae, with its Cape May or Long Branch or Mt. Des- sert, or the temptations of the mountains, or of the pleasures of Saratoga which offer him nearer home, has been the subject of considerable speculation. It is understood, however, that one of bis objects is to get away as faras possible from the very features witen would surround him at the more popular and populous summer resorts aud thus enable him to give undivided at- tention to some literary works which he has for some time been desirousof undertaking. One of these is on the doctrines of Chrisiianity, written in his own peculiar style, and another a pullo- sophicai work which it is expected will prove to be both interesting and valuable.

New York, April 23.--The trouble regarding the forfeiture of the game of Monday by the Providence Leaguers to the Brookiyn Assocta- tion Onions is, not over. Yesterday Manager Bancroft of the Providence team called on President Byrne. of the Brooklyn Club, and it is said asked the latter to pay him the §1,- 000 guarantee or his share of the gate receipts. Byrne is said to have replied that he considered the outcome of the game the same as if no game had been played, and declined to pay Bancroft the money. He was, however. he said, willing to submit the matter to the arbitration committee of the four associations, under the national agree- ment. Then Mr. Byrne telegrapnea H. D Me- Knight, president of the American Association in Pittsburg, and asked his advice. The reply was, it is said, to the effect that the money should be deposited in such a way that the decision of tne aroitration committee could give it to the proper party. During the day it Was rumored that the Boston team had refused to play on the Brooklyn grounds until the money dne the, Providence was paid. A Post-DisraTCcH correspondent talked with Capt. Morrill yesierday he game on the Polo grounds. Morrill said: “Ihave not beard that we were to cancel our date with the Brooklyns. I don’t see just what we bave got to do with the Providence money. The Boston team will not resolve itself into a committee to arbitrate on such a question. All we want is what belongs to us.“ Mr. Byrne was not in an angelic mood last even- ing and said that if the Bostons did not play the Brooklyus to-day the Providence team would not be permitted io play on the Pol grounds. He is tired of the affair, and claims that he is willing to cancel all April dates with League clubs if neces- sary. The Providence leaguers and the Metro- politans will play on the Polo grounds to-day,aud the Bostons and Brookiyns will play at Washing- ton Park. after Ihe Blithesome Crank. St. Louis has a plentiful supply of enthusiasts who good naturedly bear the peculiar appellation applied to base-ball lovers, but Philadelphia has amore abundant stock, to judge from an inter- view between the manager of the Philadelphia Club and.a Record reporter: *Crauks on base-bal!?” ejaculated the veteran player and manager, Harry Wright, yesterday, in answer to the reporter’s query. “Well, I shouid say there are cranks in base-bali. and hundreds ofthem. They are becoming worse each year, and increasing in numbers. II is really remark- able how men lose their heads over the game, And many of them are really dangerous. We had an example of this down in Providence last year, when acrank snapped a revolver iu Car- roll’s face. Fora couple of months that man bothered us. He hung around the ground and haa but one desire to be gratified, and anat was to be permitted to pitch for us. He thought he could knock out aby batsman ever seen. The fellow waited upon every vis- iting club and veseeched the manager to give him achance. The boya tolerated him, and hada great deal of sport at his expense. One day they gol him to pitching, and then turned the hose on iim, The crank did not like this, but said noth- ing. That afternvon we lost our game, and this so enraged the man, along wilh wat was done in the morning, that he waited at the gate with a big — When Carroll came out he stepped up to im and pulled the trigger, but fortunately the weapon was not discharged. The boys broke ayd ran, and Mr, Orank opened fire on them. Mulvey thought he was hit, and he was scared badly. The fellow Was arrested and sent to prison. There was another man down there, whom we cliristened BASE-BALL TOMMY. We had an old unitorm (hat we dressed him up in, and then we would set bim on the fence to watch the small boys. Tnat man would do anything that, Was wanted about the grounds. He was dead gone ou the subject of base-ball. “The most remarkable thing in connection with these cranks is the idea which each of them has that he is the coming pitcher, the great phenome- nal Whatisit. That position is the most aiffi- cult in the feld, yei the queer fellows all select it, and a person would think kroch reading the letters I receive that the bad players have all been engaged, and only the good ones have been left out, „One mau wrote me from Cineinnati. He de- sired an engagement. The fellow cla imed to be the leading amateur player df the West. He spoke of the prominent pitchers he had faced, and said; ‘I knocked the tar square out of every one of them.’ He offered testimonials of his powers as a slugger, and said that in the thirty- seven games he had played he had attained an average of .871 for fieldingsand .422 for batting. Ithougut I'd better not try him. His plaving Was too good entirely. “But the greatest player I ever heard of was a fellow who wrote me from Boston. He sdid he was the SWIFTEST THROWER IN THE WORLD, and that Sweeney and others whom he men- tioned were no comparison to him. The man said that he could throw so hard that no one on the nine could catch the ball. He wrote: ‘The baismen cannot unt the bail, so it will not be necessury, if you engage me, to have any mev in the field. You can put the other eight men back of the/Dat, as it Will take them all to stop the dall.“ Well, as we were not biripg cannons we concluded to permit this opportunity tu slip, We dropped a man from eur rolls last week who we thought Wasa great player until he was tried, The people who recommended him claimed that he had been practicing all winter with a six ounce iron ball. aud had been usiug as a back stopa pile of railroad ties. The enthusiastic person wrote: ‘This man nas a puzziing drop curve and can pitch with equal facillty with either the right or leit hand.“ Well, after that we thought that the coming pitcher bad been dis- covered at last. He pl hy in twu games, and was theu quietly. laid ou the shelf. The boys al- Ways give the cranks a show, and make it warm for them. They toss the ball easy at first, and after the unsuspecting tnaividual gets warmed up and thinks he is dolug great work some one sends the ball to him asifit came out ot a gun. Two or three bot ones soon settle the ainbitious fel- lows. Very tew indeed of the cranks want to be catchers, They are afraid to face the music, ahd the few Who allempt it generaliy come out of tue battle rather the worse for their rashuess.“ ‘Sometimes the managers get taken in,” said Charlies Mason of the Athletics. Last season Atkinson went down io Indianapolis and asked Daniel O’ Leary to give lima trial as pitcher. The manager laughed at him; but finaily said, ‘Ali right; il’ make a fool of you.’ 80 he arrauged a piéked nine aud put the la- dianapolis team agalust them. Attkisson pitehed for the picked team, and the regular pine could not hit bim. The game ended with a victory for Atkisson's side. Then O'Leary wanted to engage him, but he retused to sigu with him at auy price. So it did not pay to be too funuy. Last seasou we needed acaicher,and heard of one in Massa- chusetts. He came here aud obtained $200 au- vance money. We thought we hae a stove wall, sure. He caught fortwo innings, aud We were lad to get rid ot him. That same evening the eliow starten back home, and we never heard of him again. We keep the cranks off our grounds whea the men are practicing. They are regarded as dangerous iu the extreme, and a man never knows Whe Dis life is safe. Hase-ball being tue sensation of the day, all the queer fellows have turned their attenuion to it, But thecrop of cranks is a big one this year.” Games Westerday.

Woodson came down from Columbus last night. He says the backers of Robinsoif Wanted to make the affair a hippodrome, aud he woulau’t have it that way, and withdrew. The last bout of the wrestiing match Monday night at Indianapolis between Duncan C. Ross and Matsada sorakichi, the Jap, was exciting enough to settle a championship, The first was catel-as-cateh-can, Ross winning in sixteen min- utes. The seconds Japanese style, was won by the Jap in two second, and he won the fourth in four seconds. Ross took the third, cutch-as-caten- can, in seventeen minutes, and the fifth, same style, in tuirty-five minutes. James Kelly was referee. Quite an interesting point was made by the Louisiana Stables in the Walker handicap race on Tnursday, in which thelr two horses, Wallensee and Fosteral, were entered. The owner of the stables claimed that they were not bound to de- clare beforehand which horse they intended to win. Col. Simmons decided that the must do 80. He held that under the rules of racing horses in a race must ride the race oul to win, aud unless this is done the Judges would be compelled to rule off the stable tor pulling their horse. —ITimes- Democrat. Diamond Chips. There is a letter at Base-ball headquarters for Dean Simpson, The Jeffersons defeated the Wheelers Sunday by a score of 11 to 4. The feature of the game was the heavy batting of John Hammoud ol the Jeffersons. Secretary Wikoff has received notices of the re- lease of M. F. Keefe by Fort Wayne, and Charles Isaacson, P. J. Haran and H. Sands by Quincy. They will be eligidie April 30. The Sporting Herald of Philadelphia has evi dently caught on. It is a bright, newsy condens- ation of base-Dall, sporting aud theatrical news and is ably edited by W. W. Hicken. The information is cooly imparted that the Cin- cinnati Reserves made a present of the game to the St. Louis Browns on Sunday, as it was too cold to finish. That is cooler than the day was. All the clubs coming from Dayton complain of the hard umpiring up there. Where there is so much smoke there must be some fire. The Hay- tou Ciub should see that impartial umpires officiate at their games, or they will burt their cause. —(Commereiai Gazette.

An Indianapolis special tothe Enquirer says: “Tne Ball Directory to-night declined Dan O’Leary’s proposition looking to rescinding the resolution placing him upon the black hit, Tue session was u lung one. The only satistaction O' Leary secured was an intimation § from the directory thatif he paid the disputed amount ($158) they would consider tke proposition to rein- state him at their leisure. ‘This, of course, was not satistactory, and there phe matter rests.“ The Sporting Life says: »The St. Louis Club have issued tie Americoun Association schedules in a compact, bauuy and very attractive pamphiet form: of thirty-two pages, They contain a fine engraving of Sportsman’s Park on a reduced scale, a sketch oi the American Association, the names of the St. Louis Club directory, officers and players of both teanis,a direetory of the street cars leading to Sportsmau’s Park and à directory of the lines of street cars jeading from the differ- ent botels to the park. The American Association schedule is, of course, set forth, while the reserve team schedule, alist of the American Association umpires and substitutes and a calendar for 1884 are also included, Mr. George Munson got the affair up in good sbape, Aliceck’s Porous Plas ters. Lawyers say if yeu don't pax with your purse you must pay with your sklu. Untortunates that buy and use the vile imitations of Alicock’s Porous Plasters will surely lose money and skin.

April 19.-—It 18 surprising to note the number of towns in the West which grow rapidly into cities as their re- sources are developed, and as they are brought to public notice through the different mediums of advertisements, the press, the trains whizzing through loaded with passengers ang freight, the interchange of commerce, and the out-put of man- ufactured articles whatever they may be. No medium is better for continued and persistent appeal to the people of our world to recognize the fact of our exisience than to place upon the market articles manufactured in our town. Every finished article produced is sent abroad stamped with place of its creation, be it a sack of flour ora ponent churn, and serves asa permanent advertisement not only for he — it was made but of the resources of that ocality. In this way the names of towns which are im- portant in no other respect have become house- hold words, and many of these towns have, solely by the ald of manufacturing industries, become cities, Thus we see Holyoke known for its paper, Lowell for its cotton, Baltimore for its canned oods, Minneapolis for its fine flouy, Milwaukee or its beer, St. Louis, Chicago, Cincianatl.

The business men ol this Western em- pire, constituting the vast commercial exchange between the producer and consumer have made some money, yet wondered why they did not make more. With cloudy mental vision they have discovered that other men in less favored loeal- ities eastward were constautly accuoulating fort- unes-—-a more careiul scrutiny has shown, too, that they are getting rich by the manipulation or manufacturing ef our Western preducts. These vroducers aud business men have been nee~s- Sitated to borrow money. for legitimate pursuits and bave mortgaged their farms and other prop. erty to Eastern parties as security to obtain it. Meuntime it ts a faet beyond contradiction that the lovalities where these „ lenders live can not produce enough to support their deuse popu- lation, aud the lenders themselves are not pro- ducing auything to any extent whatever. The money they lend to our Western men is simply und solely the representative. medium of our Western beef, pork, mutton, wheat, corn, hides, wool, cotton, etc., etc. Aa allied to these it derives its value, and m no other way. II, then, the producer is compelled to borrow of this repre sentative medium money of parties who themselves produce nothing, but are the midale men between the pro- gueer and cousumer, does it not suggest the im- erative need for a better adjustment of all these nteresis in behalf of the two latter? This can only be done by bringing the skilled labor from Eastern poluts to centers where these products are tributury, au where we can feed lime kin and a creamery, and ators might conceive would busi- to the callers, WASHINGTON GOSSIP.

To-day (Wednesday) is the busiest of the week inus far, but that is not saying much. Aside from the receptions of Cabinet ladies, a dinner or two in the early part of the weex, another promised for this evening, and a few weddings, which are always happening, the week has been devoid of interest. The weather has been so good that it wonld be thought calling ought to be more popular than it was two months ago, when cold and snow and rain and slush could not altogether prevent. Then the cards fell as thickly ag the snow-flakes which accompanied them. ‘Then, the fashionable thing to do; now, it is not. Even the Cabinet receptions to-day are very tame affairs. Mrs. Freliughuysen, who prides herself upon being at home“ for Wednes- day the year round to ber friends, has quite a number of callers to-day, aud is assisted fn re- ceiving by ber charming daughters. Mrs. Chaud- ler has resumed her receptions, which were dis- continued during Lent, rs. Kinsley, her sister, is With her, and assists lu receiving, and the call- ers are very agreeably entertamed. Secretary Chandler lives in a very pretty house, though not ai all an attractive one, on 1 street near Four- teenth; a couple of squares from Secretary Fol- ger’s, and only one or two doors away from the reside see of Chief Justice Waite. His house is a three story rea brick building, in modern style, with broad, gray stoue steps leading to the doors, which open into a broad hall with parlors on either side. The hall, which runs half way through the building, connects with another run- ning at right angles, formingaT.

If F . es 0 ö eo scene of a new sultor for the hand of Miss Hungerford in the person of Col. Calvin Littlefield of New York. Mr, Littlefield is reputed to be worth over $500,000. He is the owner of a handsome residence in the town of Ellisburg. on the sbore of Lake Ontario. and his estate is one of the un- est in Jeffetson County. Col. Littlefield apends the summer months there and in ‘winter makes his home in New York. He is about 61 Fy of age. In the year 1879 his wife died, leaving a daughter, who Is now about years of fhe Hun- gerfords and Liittiefields jive near each other when in this county, and as u con- sequence the two young ladies were in each otlier’s company a great deal and were farm friends. them at much less cost than we are now toiling. Draw the surplus capital from our large cities and direct it from gamollug in stocks and grain to legitimate investments aud by competitive prices on manufactured articies compel ihe entire proc- ess of sublimation of Western material at home. This secures the circulation of money among the farmers and merciiants of the West: relieves many drom the necessity of borrowing; reduces the rate of interest here, equalizing it with the East and necessitates the leeches, who are now feeding upon our Western producers, working for aliving as we have to. This transition is in- dicated by the rapid development of manufactur- ing industries all over Lhe West, and this should encourage every locality possessing special ad- vantages to strive to promote the reformation to the fullest extent possible. THIS CANNOT: BE DONE by anything less than earvest, unitéd effort. We bave visited Western towns where personal jeal- ousies and town cliques predominated; wyere some soreheads in business would sicken the weary listever and disgust every hearer with their whining twaddle against the railway which was their only. artery of commerce and which — its advent had doubled the value of all they possessed; who looked and talked as 1 they been /raised on pickles, and pever tasted sugar in their lives. Communities cursed with such men have a long time to wait before prosperity Will rest peaceiully iu theif midst. Happily for Weeping Water, their commercial life is nol endangered by any of this element; on we contrary, the majority are wideaw.ke, pro- gressive, nhnocral and zealous, and we doubt not their enterprise will bear fruit in the early inture, to surprise other places similarly favored by nature, but less foriunate otherwise. fort, my own dear luf?” He von arm biaced her vaist arount, und vile he trank in der ligwid egstacy uf her ad- miring gaze, he reblied: “I dink can der pall keeb rolling, righd sdraighd alopg my own, my sveet, sveet plessing.”’ „It's kind uf you, Ohonny,“ she replied, “not to dalk apowd such foolishness as lef on a basement mit sixbence a veek, for der vorid is now run on peezness bri 8, und such dalk makes me dired, I ha to git a diworce avay from my first huspand pecause he vas old-vashioned like d i musd a first-glass allowance haf to pegin mit, so ve ton’d fall owid apowd money.

Anybody yespectabiy dressed, and having a general air of respectability, desiring to attend them could do so. It not wmfrequently happens that persous coming from other parts of the country, entire strangers unaccompanied by la- dies. attend these receptions. It is more of an ac- cident than otherwise as a rule, for very few with even the hardest cheek, who visit the White House, would suppose themselves entitled to walk up and shake hands with the mistress of the White House, wife or sister of the President, as the case may be. Those visiting the White House, however, usually follow the crowd, aud on these Saturdays the eruwa tends toward the room where the lady of the house is receiving. Mrs. Brewster, Who suspended her receptions during the Lenten season, is again seeing her friends to- day. She is assisted in receiving by Mrs. Koons, her daughter, whose marriage at Epiphan Church, a little over a year ago, was the socia event of the winter of 8283. Mrs, Lincoln is not receiving, and probably will not again before the sucial season opens next Winter.

The indirect benefit to the general mercbants as an advertisement of the city, and the familiarity with us name and industries carried to the people, would be inealculable, while the direct returns in the way of a large accession of population, who are consumers and not producers, can be readily seen. 4 The first question to call our attention, when re- garding Weeping Water asa future manufacturing point, is transportation. That is defluitely, readily and very satisfactorily solved when we tell you that it is loonted in Cass County, one of the East- erp tier in Nebraska, almost the center, and upon the main line of the Missouri Pacific Railway, only forty-one miles from Omaha, where connec- tion is made for the East and North by the five trunk lines, famillarly. known as the Norihwest- ern, the Milwaukee and St. Paul, the Rock Isl- and, the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy and the — the Chica o, St. an 8 lis 1 — aT 2 ROE sinc cok oe . maha, and the Sioux City and Faeille, 10 aie; mee oe po een West is reached by the Burlington and Missouri Thomas st, to Denver and California.

Thus it will be but little grouble to place manu- factured 1 from Weeping Water in every part of ihe United States. WHAT CAN BE MANUFACTURED? This isan important question and to judge we must glance at some of the resources of Cass County. The first product which attracts atten- tion is the fine character of stone which is quar- ried near the town from which the best quality of lime might be made with large patent kilns— there is one kiln operating now and only shows a waste of about six percent. The elevation of the stone quarries would enable the dumping of the stone from the breaker into Kilns, then the Jime from the Kilns into the barrelling rooms, and rolled from thence on the trains tor shipment without anv lifting or hoisting. The stone is saja to be equal to that of the Athens and Joliet quar- j ries , (Illinois), would make fine vault coy- ers or facings. Weeping Water might become a prominent point for shipping this stone for all purposes for which it is useful, and the railway would co-operate with any large compauy desir- ous of making this a special feature, Among the classes of manufacturing adapted to Weeping Water would bea paper mill. Oat and wheat straw is abundant, and a good water power would be donated as a bonus to any parties de- siring to embark in this enterprise. A small pork-packing house ought to pay. Large numbers of hogs are shipped to Omaha and Kaunas City to be cut, cured and returned to the grocers as hams, bacon and sides, There are any quantity of the finest veeetabies grown. Corn is prolific and sure, and fruit is abundant; hence a canning company organized to can vegetavles alone, fruit alone, or both combined, would be um to make money, and in placing their goods on the market make each can an advertisement for the town until it is eaten by the goats, CA8S COUNTY, of which Weeping Water ought to be the county seat on account of its ceutrai location, was in 1880 third in population in the State, having 16,683 in- habitants. It has now approximately 22.244. Its area is 355,840 acres—at least aue half under cu)- tivation, Topographically it is an undulating, rolling prairie not rough or broken, having the Missouri on the east, the Platte on the north, with two forks andthe Weeping Water. There are also a number of springs as pure as purity and clear as crystal. The soll is a rich, dark loamin the western art of the county, and a silicious marl along the, issouri River. Corn averages 50 bushels to the acre, wheat 15 and ts 40. egetabies all do well, and farmers have et with such good success in fruit culture that most of them are planting’ orchards. Apples have a large yield and peaches a full crop at least every alternate year. - The stock interests are becoming daily of more importance.

This led to trouble. Miss Hungerford told him she would never marry a mau who had no more confidence iy her than that, so the engagement was broken off. The pair exchanged letters and returned the presents that each had given the other. In November, 1881, Miss Hungerford went West, returning in the spring of 1882. During her stay two letters of afriendly nature passed between her and the plaintiff. — When she returned she was met in St. Paul, Minn,, by Col. Littlefield, who accom- panied her East. Their marriage followed soon after, notwithstanding the great dispar- ity in theirages and her declaration that such a thing would never be. ‘The plaintiff, to whom Miss reg hy had been pre- viously engaged, claimed that the engage- ment had never been broken, and after her marriage brought an action against Mrs. Col. Littlefield for breach of promise, laying damages at $10,000. From the testimony of the plaintiff it seems hexthought that Col. Littlefieli, being wealthy, would settle the matter by paying a satisfactory sum rather thay have his wlie brought into court. This, however, they uid not propose to do, and the case was brought to trial in the Circuit Court. Eminent counsel were engaged on both sides and the case attracted considerable at- tention.

Cheviots and beiges remain the favorite fabrics for traveling suits. The favorite figures on brown linens are clover leaves in a browner tint. Fancy woolens have raised figures em- broidered, or broche, with chenilie.. Even white musiin dresses are made with waistcoats which are detachable, White will again be the favorite festival dress for midsummer garden parties. Among the French linens are changeable ones almost as pretty as the shot silks.

Julian Hawthorne in the May Century. The witches always bad a special interest, or fasciiation fur my father, as might be inferred Lrom the character and tone of the allusions to them in his published writings, But it is not perhans ‘generally known that he wrote a number ef tales having witches for their subject matter that were said by one or two persons who saw them to be more powerful as conceptions of,;weird and fantastic horror than anything in the prini- ed volumes of Short stories. But these tales never emerged from the manuscrfpt state and were tipaily burned by their author, be- cause, as my wother told me, he had ex- plained to her he felt that they were not true. That ., L suppose, they embodied no moral truth; they were were imaginative narratives; founded on history and tradi- tion, and had not the spiritual balance and prop rtion of what Hawthorne would deem a work of art.

Local Stage Notes and Splinters—The Memorial Hall Concert. Ry Telegraph to the Post-Dispaten, NEW York, April 23.—The opinion which Mr. Wm. H. Gale entertainsof Mr. Leonard Grover is exactly the reverse of flattering, in spite of the fact that the latter has produced one or two very success{ul plays, Mr. Gale isthe senior member of the firm of Gale & Spader, who are dramatic agents, and lessees of the Come- dy Theater tp Broadway, and his principal cause of enmity against MraGrover is that that gentleman is the author of the new piay, “A Great Scheme,“ which was produced at edy Theater last Wednesday evening, and has since died a natural death. So fearful was Mr. Gale's wrath that he yesterday advertised as fol- lows in the afternoon [M* To THE Ports ve ng to the fact that Mr. Leonard Grover's Tew play called “A Great Scheme,” bas proveg a miserable failure, and also for the reason that he has been un- able to fulfill his contract with us, by payment of salaries due to the or¢hestra and members of his com- pany, and has thereby violated and broken said contract, and for the turther reason that the un- dersigued feel that it would be a great injustice play unworthy of production at any first-class theater, they prefer to bear and assume the great loss they will incur ratner than be a party to such an imposition. Therefore our theater will be closed during this week, to enable us to 2 * sent to tue public an attraction that will be worthy of aporeciation. GALE & SPADER.” To a reporter Mr. Gale said; It's all on ac- count of Gulick. Wehired Joseph A. Gulick as stage mavager and paid him 8100 per week for his reputed knowledge and skill in the business of selecting and producing plays. He introduced me to Mr. Leonard Grover,and that acquaintance has cost me about $5,000: Mr. Grover was dnx- ious to establish a policy for the Comedy Thea- — — urged us to enter into a contract with him or the ‘ PRODUCTION OF VARIOUS PLAYS, most of them comedies, under bis management. This was just one month ago, he had then a play rtiially writ- ten, which he called ‘A Great Scheme.’ Both Grover and Gulick assured me of its great inerit, though, to be sure, Grover could not called a disinterested oritie, and asserted that it could not fall to achieye a success. I strenuously opposed the production of the play, for the rea- son that it Was not finished and had not deen read to me, and experience had taught me that it is unwise to buy a pig in a bag. ell, after re- peated interviews and much persuasion Iwas in- duced to enter into a preliminary contract with Mr. Grover for the production of his ‘Great Scheme.’ At the Il vold Gulick that I had little faith in the play and would hold him responsible for the conse- quences. The contract we entered into with Grover Is that we should heat and light the house, engage attaches before and behind the curtain, furnish new scenery, and do the pript- Ing, lithographing and advertising. Grover's part of the contract was to furnish the acting company and the orchestra. “Well, sir,“ con- tinued Mr. Gale, walking up and down the room, “I witnessed a rehearbhal of that alleged comedy live days bee its production, and was satisfied that it as worthless aud would be an imposition upou the public, and I wanted to withdraw it before its production, but Mr. Grover insisted on holdingus tothe letter of the con- tract, and therefore we had no alternative but to produce the play and await the. result. The re- sult was a failure, therefore our card to the pub lic. THE THEATERS. “The Beggar Opera” is doing a remarkable business at the Grand considering the miserable weather. There was another large house last night and the encores were frequent and hearty. It is one of the best comic opera successes ever brought here. John T. Raymond’s Gen. Limber is in many re- Spects Lhe best piece of comedy he has ever doue. For those posted in politics even to a moderate extent, For Congress” contains many laughs. The baby show at Gregory’s Dime Museum is drawing like a loadstoue, and the recent additions have been most attractive. Bad weather does uot interfere with the interest takeu in the affair. „Around the World in Eighty Days“ at the Peo- ple’s; Kelyy and Ryan’s show at the Standard, aud M. B. Leavitt's company at the Olympic, are uli excellent in their way and deserve much bet- ier patounge than they are receiving. Mr. Barney W. Kleibacker. who is well known in St. Louis’ is in town in advance of the Leon and Cushman Minstrel Comedy Company, which opens at the Grand next week. The Buffalo Bill “Wild West” novelty, which opens at tbe Cote Brilliante race track May 3d— exhibiting afternooas onty—is entirely different from auything given bere. As a piece of realism it is perfectly wonderful. if there is any attache of the St. Louis theaters who is deserving of a big house on the occasion of his annual benefit it is Treasurer James Han- nerty atthe Standard. Mr. Hannerty is before the public on tue evening of April 28, and will ou thal occasion present tor an attraction the music- al extravaganza of **Vacation,” which has made u similar success elsewhere to Bunch of Keys“ and other pieces of that class. At Edwards’ Theatre Comique a fine bill is be- ing offered this week, which is fuil of excellent variety Teatures, and coucludes with “Coney Island,” a breezy sketch. Memorial Hall Concert.

The features in the triple ring in the double menagerie avd in tha museum and wax-work department will all be given and opea for inspection.
