Address, The POST-DISPATCH, / St. Louis, Mo ESTABLISHED 1859. HELEN IS HAPPY. A Visit to the Home of the Negro Platter and His White Wife. — The Bride of a Few Days Tells the Story of Her Elopement and Marriage—She is Insane—The Black Man Will doe Arrested. By Telegraph to the Post-Dispateh. Ba.timore, July 25.—Miss Helen Owens of Anne Arundel County, whose elopement with Jesse Platter, the negro employed on her brother-in-law's place, caused such a sensation to that county, and also in this city and Washington, is now living with her black husband at the humble cottage of Platter s sister, about five miles from Benning's Station, on the Baltimore and Potomac Railroad, in Prince George's County, Md. They were married in Wash- ington by a negro preacher. A reporter who visited the place found seated upon a chair within the building Mrs. Jesse Platter, nee Miss Owens. She presented a decidedly unattractive appearance, and was attired in a loose fitting wrapper of gray material. Her face was expressionless, and her eyes were dull and wild, and indicated a weak in- tellect. When the visitor entered she rose in @ frightened way and laughed lightly, which attracted her sister-in-law, Mrs. Emma Brent, a jolly fat negress. As the latter entered the room Platter pointed her finger at her and continued to laugh 8 Soon a crowd of negroes gathered about the entrance to the cottage who stood with staring bee and open +o evidently not understanding the cause of the merriment. In response to inquiries, Mrs. Platter then turned to the reporter, and in the presence of the gathering of negroes, told the story of her elope- ment and marriage as follows: “Jesse Platter and I were children together and grew up in close rela- uon to each other. WE PLAYED TOGETHER in the woods and took long walks across the fields and meadows. We fished together and would jump into the boatand go sailing with each other. learned to like Jesse and he was fond of me. He and I were about the same age, and we liked each other very much, He first came to work for my father at the commencement of the war, and worked there for four years. Then my fat dis- charged him and he got work in the neighborhood. My father kept close watch over me, when I. wanted to see Jesse, I was compelled to steal a \ and meet him sometimes under a tree near a fence. My father died about a ago, and Jesse cameto work for my in-law, where I lived. As soon as he came back the old feelings of my younger days returned and IS fell in love with him. I was never hap y when ts was not near and he told me that he wa not except when he was near me. We c ntinu to meet off and on from this time and about two months ago Jesse asked me to be his wife and I said yes. After we were engaged we determined to run away and watched for our chance. It came last Monday night. Jesse got a wagon and waited for me about a mile from my home. I met him and we drove to Milligan Station and oh. the railroad cars and came to Bowie's Station, then took the cars for Benning's Station, intending to get married there. After we arrived at Ben- — Station we came to sister Emma's house (pointing to Mrs. Brent) and stayed all night. The next morning we were arrested by Officer Prather and taken to Washington and presented at police headquarters. After keeping us there a while they let us go, and Jesse bought a marriage license and we tried to get married. We tried several nae. but they all refused, and a colored lady in Washington directed us to now.“ a Where is your husband?” inquired the reporter. In obedience to this question she went towards a tumbled-down pony Fy of stairs, and called “Jessie,” Quick as a flash a human body shot down statement corroborated that of his wife. Both man and woman profess themselves to 1 and have nota regret of the present condition of affairs. Mrs. Platter, nee Miss elen Owens, is of the well-known family of that name, who were among the earliest settlers of that part of Anne Arundei County. She is the daughter of the late Dr. Thomas Owens, who died near Bristol a litttle over a year ago. Miss Owens’ mother and herself resided on the homestead with Dr. Richardson, who married an elder sister. Before going away, Helen wrote the following note to her mother. “Dear Moraer—I have determined to go away and commit suicide. HELEN OWENS. July 21.“ Mr. ' avd Mfrs. Platter are still at the Brent cottage, enjoying their honeymoon under sunny skies. surrounded by leafy bowers. Dr. Henry Richardson, brother-in-law of Mrs. Platter, returned to his home last evening. Be- fore leaving here he said: She was in her thirty- third year and was BEYOND DOUBT OF UNSOUND MIND, and had been so for at least twelve years.“ She had heen living with him for about that time. and scarcely an hour during that whole time had she been left unguarded. When there was any com- pany at the house she was never allowed to come to the first table, owmg to her peculiar ways, and it was on ove of these occasions that she eloped. There were several persons spending the evening at the Doctor's house, and when they went into the dining room they left Helen in the sitting room, never thinking for u moment that she and the negro lanned a scheme to elope. The doctor said that he w S- tisfied of the marriage. and that a warrant had sworn out and placed in the bands of the Washing- ton authorities for the arrest of the negro. who w be tried for abduction. When this is accomplished the next step will be to prove the woman's insanity, which Dr. Richardson says can be established wit out any difficulty. The doctor eaid that the feeling against Platter was intense.and should he ever show his fact inthe county again he would be lynched be- yond doubt. * PUMPED OUT.

Field, but the influences are not potent enough to keep his affair out of the papers. A few days ago the police of the Thirty-second precinct went on a chowder party up the Hudson and brought up at a grove near Inwood.

Mitwavker, W., July 25.—An eccentric person called The Count.“ known in certain circles in all the large cities of the country, is under arrest at Waukesha. The charge against him is swindling a bank in Stockholm, Sweden, out of a large sum of money. His life for five years past has been one continuous reund of dissipation.

EARTHQUAKE IN EG — —— Nearly Every Building in the City of Massowah Destroyed. The Inhabitants Panic-Stricken—Six Hun- dred Residents of Toulon Fleeing to the Mountains The Dublin Scaudal—Cable Flashes. — — — Catno, July 25.--It is reported here that there was a earthquake at Massowah. Nearly all the houses in Massowah were destroyed and ships in the harbor violently rocked. The in- insisting upon the immediate payment of arrears of taxes now outstanding. This will compel the cul- tivators of the soil to sell their crops standing. In the case of cotton, the crop will have to be sold three months before harvest at a sacrifice of 40 per cent below its nominal value. It is believed the object of this circular is to prove to the Egyptian Conference in an effective way the existence of widespread misery in Egypt and this lead it to acknowledge the necessity and importance of a reduction of the rate of taxation. FIRED ON BY REBELS. Bax, July 2%.—The rebels maintained a heavy fire upon the city last night. Two Egyptian sol- diers were wounded. DESERTED THE MARDI. ane ee tribe have declared against the France. Pants, July 2%.—Isolated cases of cholera continue to be reported in various parts of France, some widely aistant from the infected districts. A woman living at Courbevole, a village only a few miles from Paris, was seized with sporadic cholera Thurs- day. She was conveyed to a hospital and her lodg- ings thoroughly disinfected. No further cases are believed to exist in that community, Two cases of cholera occurred at Narborne, and at St. Nazaire, a village not far from Toulon, two deaths occurred. One was of an especially pathetic character. An unknown woman was seized while passing along the street, where she fell prostrate and expired immediately. A pitiable case is reported from Marseilles. A woman of 70 years was missing for several days. The po- lice at last forced an entrance into her lodging house and found her body upon the floor in such a con- dition that she must have been dead some days. Ex- amination proved she was a victim of cholera, She had lived almost exclusively on fruit. PANIO STRICKEN. The corvette Argentina, recently at Marseilles, de- sired to take on coal at Gibraltar. The English au- thorities forbade this and threatened fire unless the vessel departed. The Argentina thereupon pro- ceeded to a port in Portugal and be gancoaling, but the inhabitants became panic stricken and com- pelled the authorities to order the immediate de- parture of the unfortunate vessel. Where the Ar- gentina is to find fuel enough to enable her to return to Laplata appears an insoluble problem. WOULDNS ‘T RETRACT. The Morning News was fined 50 france to-day for refusing to insert a telegram from M. Clemencern, the well-known radical, denying an alleged inter- view with himself which the News had published. THE SITUATION AT ARLES. The condition of affairs at Aries is deplorable, the water supply being entirely cut off owing to an acci- dentin the hydraulic apparatus. The numerous funerals of cholera, victims have been conducted by men who generally drink liquor. These funerals have been greatly retarded by the fact that carpen- ters refuse to make coffins for those who die of cholera. Nearly all the bakers and butchers have left the city. Food is consequently scarce and difficult to obtain. The panic throughout the city issimply indescribable. The epidemic appears to be extending. One death occurred at Saintes Maries dela Mer. The inhabitants of that town want to expel all refugees from Aries. In six different vil- lages of the department of the Bouches du Rhone from one to two deaths have occurred. In Vinti- miglia, Italy, there have been ten deaths. A FOOLISH WAGER. At Toulon two foolish youths made a bet as to which could drink the most seltzer water. One drank nine syphons and the other eight. Both died shortly after of cholera. MOST BACKWARD COUNTRY. In a debate in the Deputies yesterday in regard to the French law relating to epidemics, M. Bert de- scribed France as, after Spain and Turkey, the most backward country in Europe in sanitary matters. A COMMEROIAL ATTACHE will be added to the French legations at Washington, London and Berlin. BETWEEN 9 O'CLOCK AND NOON THERE WAS ONLY one death from cholera at Marseilles. A large fall- ing off in the number of cases is reported. THIRTY-ONE DEATHS. There were fifteen deaths at Toulon last night, five in the hospital, three in town and seven in the suburbs. It is feared the stormy weather will in- crease the violence of the epidemic. Bix hundred people have left Toulon within two days for the Pyrenees, The deaths at Marseilles last night num- ber sixteen. A SENSELESS SCARE. Lowpor, July 25.—The Paris correspondent of the Standard says: ‘The large number of those who recover from cholera shows the disease is not the same deadly character which some previous out- breaks displayed. There is a considerable exodus of people from Paris who are apprehensive that the epidemic will reach the capitol, but nothing of the nature of a panic has yet appeared. Your oorres- pondent has never seen Paris so deserted asat pres- ent. The English and American tourists give Paris a wide berth. Such a scare, he contends, is alto- gether unjustified, as the capitol is better cleaned, more abundantly watered and healthier than any other city in Europe.? England. Lonpon, July %.—The report ourrent yesterday that the Government had intrusted the prosecution of the Dublin scandal cases to Sir Henry James, At- torney-General, and Sir Farrell Herschel. Solicitor- General, is pronounced untrue by the Times, which says the prosecution will take the ordinary course.

N AMUSEMENTS. The First Performance of “The Queen's Lace Handkerchief” at the Cave. The long promised production ot Johann Strpuss’ companion piece to A Merry War,“ took place at Uhrig's Cave last evening before one of the largest and finest audiences ever gathered at that popular resort. The extreme sultry weather and the produc- tion of a work by a popular composer which was com tively new to St. Louis theater goers, com bined to attract this splendid assemblage, Unfortu- nately there were storm symptoms brewing early in the evening, and while the second act was on the lightning became so vivid, the wind so high, that several parties made a start for home and shelter. This was but the advance guard of the exodus, and ere long the curtain was rung down, and there was a general and indiscriminate rush for the hall. where, after arrangements had been completed, the opera was sung through. It is hardly. fair to criticise a performance virtual- incomplete, and hitching from the first attempt. The faults were such, however, as 4 re- hearsal or two will overcome, and all did so well as to warrant the presumption that the opera will become near! “A Merry War, which it — resembies in the style and nature ot the music, ss Blanche Chap- man, although still weak from her recent illness, was exceedingly cute and clever as Donna “ena, Alice May as the King presented a very handsome figure and sang and acted with great spirit. Marie Hunter was also satisfactory as the Queen, as was Mamie Taylor in the Marchioness. Phil. Branson found in Cerrantes a character admirably adapted to his temperamen, and as usual acquit himeelf with high credit. George Denham, Paxtonand Raymond were clever as the courtiers, and the minorcharacters were well worked out in detail. The chorus was excellent. The King's solos in acts first and third, the finale to act second and the moon song were the best hits of the evening. To-night the piece will run much more smoothly, and an enjoyable performance is assured. SHE WANTS A DIVORCE, ly Lillian Lewis, the Well-Known St. Louis Actress, Seeks a Legal Separation, ‘— Mrs. J. J. Lewis, better known as Miss Lillian Lewis. a bright and pretty actress, who has a wide circle of acquaintances in St. Louis, bas applied in New Torx for a divorce from ber husband on the ground of habitual cruelty and drunkenness. Mrs. Lewis lived in St. Louis for several years and was married here, her husband being at the time manager of the Compton Lithographic Company. She went on the stage against his opposition and their married life has not since been a happy one.

Mrs. Lewis is said to resembie very closely Lily ry. and she is quite proud of this resemblance and does all she can to increase it. Mr. Lewis is employed by Trautman, Blair & Co. of New York. Railway Notes. The Wabash is making an elegant record for moving freight. The first twenty-one days of this month there were 148 cars of through freight car- ried to Council Bluffs, a distance of 444 miles. The longest time was 44 hours and 2% minutes; shortest, $2 hours and 30 minutes, making an average of 37 hours and 52 minutes. Who says the Wabash won't pull out of the mud? George W. Lilley, general freight agent of the Missouri Pacific, left for Cincinnati last night. The next regular Nen of the Western Associa- tion of G. P. eT. is will be held at Minneapolis, Wedneeday, August 13, at llo’clock a. m.

Since the publication of the Santa Fe tariffs, agen- cies have been established at Burns Station on the Douglass Branch, Canada Station on the McPherson Branch, and Nepesta, Col., on the main line. It will not be necessary in the futureto prepay freight charges to these points. An Important Decision. Judge Brewer delivered an opinion in the United States Circuit Court to-day in the cases of August M. Clapp et al. vs. Geo. F. Dittman and Johu 8. Per- ry et al. vs. Edward P. Corby et al.

The question then was answered in the ive, It will be so held iu these cases. The demurrers will be overruled and the defendants given until the Sep- tember term to answer.

Although the lively breeze brought several re- freshing breathing spells to-day, there were some people who yearned for the old «haunts of the Greely party, and the statement that the weather will continue fair and temperature stationary will not tend to check perspiration.

I remember hearing him eny the time I saw him, ‘On board ship I feel at home; on land I feel as if I was for noth- ing.’ His father was always, when a boy, anx- fous to enter the navy, but his father put his foot down on it, and he never got to sea.

Should this be the case it will relieve an unusual amount of anxiety and apprehension. Mr. CHARLIZ FRANCIS has been looking for an opportunity to reinstate himself. He is a capable and energetic man. He has had ex- perience as a Health Commissioner. Let him come forward and take a prominent part in the project of giving the city an extra cleaning. — — eee ee Bex Borten brings it up as a reproach against CLEVELAND that, if elected President, he could not find his way from the White House door to the Treasury Department witb- out ajguide.” BLAINE, now, seems to be the. sort ofa man who would find his way to the Treas- ury Department by instinct, — LITTLE by little we are learning the unpleas- ant truth about the alleged Republic of Mexico. It is now said that two Americans have been arrested in the City of Mexico and imprisoned fora month without trial for defaming the President. The President will release them if our Minister requests it. Our Minister ought not to request it; he ought to demand it. What is he there for? Irish vote as if it could be rounded up and branded for BLains or CLEVELAND like a herd of cattle. The editor of the Globe especially is making a very frisky show of delivering that vote to BLarng, and bets are offered that, if he succeeds, he will again leave the Republican party and come back to the Democrats, togeth- er with the whole outfit of Orangemen. Irish Republicans are more merous than has been generally supposed, bu! :' is difficult to find one willing to stay in any party suspected of being influenced by the aforesaid Irish vote, bn | Tm is a very general prospect of good crops and consequent activity in business. Whether St. Louis will get her share of it or not depends more largely on the banks, than on any other separate business interest. If the banks will recognize their great responsibility in this matter and will make proper efforts to supply the legitimate business of the city with all needed facilities, St. Louis will realise a most prosperous season. If the banks, through an excess of caution, to make the cus- tomary advances, or if take advantage of their position to squeese customers they will knock St. Louls out of u year’s growth. That is all that there is to it. . — — —— run atatoment is made that BLaurs and Looan failed, in the distribution of tho patronage at their dlirposal, preference for seldiers which they the contrary, it is charged that they hive ex- hibited a marked preference for blood or marriage, end for their own secretaries and other confidential As an act of justice, somebody ought to a full roster of the kinsfolk of Mr. and Bains and of Mr. and Mrs. Looan now public offices or employments of any kind, or positions in any business or corporation having profitable relations with the power, local or general. They do say that roster would be along one, and that the proportion of ex-soldiers in it would be very small. A The proposition to give St. Louis a good thorough summer cleaning is a most excellent one, The city is cleaner now than it usually is at this time of the year, but even at the best there are a great many plague spots which need attention. Our house and street sewerage is perhaps ameng the best, but our alleys are full of danger. What is needed isto have a thorough inspec- tlon of the condition of the drainage of every house, particularly in the poor quarters. All tenement houses, back yard buildings, work shops and buildings in which numbers of people are constantly employed should get a most rigid overhauling. Then every alley in the city should be made as clean as a parlor floor and should be kept clean. The city government should at once attack the most noisome ones. If the funds of the city are not sufficient, private patriotism can be enlisted in the work. Let an estimate be made of the cost of thorough cleansing and disinfecting of the alleys in each block, and in nine cases out of ten the owners of abutting property will cheerfully pay their pro rata share of the expense, ‘his will certainly be the case in all the first-class residence and busi- ness neigborhoods. Let the Mayor be summoned at once from his Indiana farm, He has no business gathering crops when the city needs him. Let the Health Department “‘ hump itself“ and give us a full exposition of the situation. We know we can count on the Board of Public Improvement, Gen. TURNER is a man of energy and public spirit, Mr. Mott has shown how effectively he can put in his work. By promptness and energy and the expendi- ture of a few thousand dollars St. Louis can be put in such good condition in two weeks that we can invite the leading sanitary engineers of the country to pay usa visit, and drive them through our alleys with the confidence and assurance that they will call St. Louis the healthiest of cities. s — GETTING HIS WORK IN. When the proprietors and editor of Harper’s Weekly announced that they could not support the Republican nominations there was some curiosity as to whether Mr. Nast, who had used his pencil so vigorously and for so many, years against Democracy, would be able to do himself justice under the new order of things. All doubta on this point have been dispelled by the cartoon of the present week, which is one of the best things Nast has ever done. It represents his old favorite, WHITELAW REID, and his new candidate, Wu. WALTER PHELPs, in evening dress, in tho club. The legend, which is headed Sound Political Arguments,” is as follows: Wiitiam Water Puewtps (The Jersey Lily).—‘‘I say, my dear boy, is there anything more to be done after that letter of mine, in BLAIxx's defence?” WHITELAW Rib (The New York Daisy).— “Oh, yes, my dear Bangtry; we must call those who do not PRoTecT Mr. BLAlxx's record Free- Traders, and Britishers and DUDES, and all that sort of thing, you know.” The portraits are the most admirable things in the history of caricature. The expression of fatuous imbecility on PHELPs’ countenance would justify a suit for criminal libel. As for Rep he has never had justice done him since the Greely campaign until now; his smirk of indescribable satisfaction, his hair, his thin chest, his high shoulders, his legs, his feet, are all studies. Every line of the artist's handi- work is a lash that cuts deep. There is no doubt that Nast is in his element and getting bis work in. There has been great depression in stocks, and prices have gone down to bed-rock with as few failures and suspensions as may be conais- tent with wholesome liquidation. The suspen- sions of banks and business houses have pro- duced a conservative stringency and some little talk of hard times,” but no panic, and all the crop news is favorable to an active resump- tion of general business. The first of August is nearly here without any sign of that suminer drought which shortens corn crops, and in a few days more they will be out of the reach of any serious danger from that source. An abundant yield of wheat and other crops is already assured, and railroad men are counting with confidence on a traffic that will put their stocks at a fair valuation again, if it does not boom them. The only cloud on the business horizon is the low price of wheat, which itis feared may cause farmers to hold it back. But while wheat isa big item in the aggregate of our marketable surplus, the margin of profit on its production is rather a stall thing in the States with which Bt. Louis has business relations. Missouri, Kansas and the States south and east of them are undoubtodly richer today than they ever were before; richer iu old grain; richer in marketable live stock, and freer from debt than ever before. Their farmers have) realized and are still getting such prices 1 1 about. But like the brethren who met at Pitts * 5 N * Liat 3 W De ears — 5 tH : 3 iin “4 2 , K “a be = > N 1 8 AF a * ms * “he. wheat crop will not cripple them in the least, and the prospect for better prices will hardly be such as to encourage the carrying of any large proportion of their wheat surplus over to another year. On the whole, the prosperity of what we may call our commercial section of the Union rests on a broader and better foundation of product- ive wealth and accumulated resources than this | or any other region could ever boast before, Its people ought to be and doubtless are the hap- piest, as they are the most favored on the earth. The outlook for Missouri and for St. Louis is so grand and inspiring that only the crank pessi- mist can see in it any sign of depression or any excuse for croaking. a Sr. Jon is the man who converted the Ro- publican party of Kansas into a Prohibition party. A great many Kansas Republicans fought against it, but by years of effort he ob- tained such a hold upon tho masses and primary organizations of the party that it could no longer carry Kansas without his consent and aid. Then he forced the Republicans to nomi- nate him for Governor and adopt his Prohibition platform. A minority of them did not like the medicine, but they had to take that or defeat. Twice they made him Governor, and a third time he demanded their support. The election of a Democrat over him that time was simply a break - down of the Republican party under the Prohibibition load he had imposed upon it, His nomination for President by the Prohibi- tion party foreshadows an application to the Republican party at large of the aggressive policy he pursued towards the party in Kansas. It says to the Republican leaders: “You carry Maine, Iowa and Kansas as Prohibition- ists. Without the Prohibition vote you cannot carry any State. Henceforth you shall not play fast and loose with us as in the past. You shall accept our platform or defeat.” Such a declaration will strike more terror into the soul of BLAINE than twenty Independent Repub- lican conventions. — Tux Prohibition party in its platform soorns the ‘‘demagogy” of recognizing the people as the sovereign of this country. It formally pro- claims ‘‘Almighty God as the rightful sovereign of all men, from whom just powers of govern- ment are derived, to whose laws human enact- ments should conform.” There is no pretence here of recognizing the voice of the people aa the voice of God, and it is distinctly added that legislation should be directed by the divine will rather than by the will of the people, The trouble about this as a political maxim is that people differ and fight so much about what is the will of God. It is easy to ascertain and en- force the will of a majority of the people, but whenever a minority undertakes to rule in the name of God and to overrule the will of a large majority, the result often shows that they were mistaken and that God was on the side of the heaviest battalions. — Iw another column we reprint from the Home Visitor, a Republican and Prohibition organ in New Jersey, the letter to its editor, Rev. C. CLARK, from Nera Dow of Maine, vouching for BLAINE asa sincere and effective laborer in the cause of Prohibition. NAL. Dow has devoted his life to that cause in Maine, and may be presumed to know what he is talking burg and nominated St. Jon, the editor of the Home Visitor thinks Mr. BLAINE too self- ish a politician to be trusted, and says of him: A man so prominently before the public, in him- self to-day a total abstainer from principle, and at heart and from conviction a Prohibitionist, and not to have the courage of his convictions, especially in this hour of agitation and widespread indignation with the rum traffic, when the public mind isa seething caldron and public feeling is at fever heat, is neither a great statesman nor safe leader. — = Texas Land Laws, From the Gaiveston (Texas) News. The papers continue to discuss the subject ef the public lands of the State, and as usual some of them overlook the constitutional limitations on the subject, as there ia reason to suppose the Legislature and State authorities have to some extent done. The present State constitution, after having provided for all previously existing just claims to the public lands and for conditional grants of lands to rail- roads, declares that no certificate of land shal) be sold at the Land Office except to actual settlers upon the same, and in lots not to exceed 160 acres,"’ and also declares that to every head of a family without a homestead there shall be given 100 acres of public land, upon condition that he will settle and locate said land and oceupy the same three years, and pay the office fees thereon; to a single man 18 years of age and upward, 80 acres on the same conditions. It is neither the policy of the State nor the National Government to encourage the accumulation of large bodies of land in the hands of individuals or corpo- rations, though the laws on the subject have been to a great extent disregarded. It is the expressed pol- icy of both the general and State Governments to prevent land monopoly, but neither has thus far succeeded in preventing the accumulation of im- mense tractsin the handsof comparatively few persons. This is destined to become an important issue in both State and National polities. ‘ Blaine’s Prohibition Record. The following is a copy of a letter written by Neal Dow to the Rev. C. Clark, jr, editor of the Home Visitor, a New Jersey Prohibition organ: | Dean Sm—Your note of the th inst., has just reached me, In answer to your inquiry Lay: 1 have had many letters from different parts of the country making inquiries about Mr. Maine. My re ply has en that he bas always been a friend of the Maine Law and has many times rendered important service to it. He is in favor of the proposed Con- stitutional amendment and will vote for . He is also a teetotaler and has been #0 several years. The Republican party of Maine bas always made Prohibition a part of ita platform and coded to the people at the last Legislature an opportunity to vote on the question of constitutional prohibit ion, as it is the undoubted right of the people to do, The temperance men of Maine therefore may properly be loyal to the party which haa a just claim to their support, But outside of this State, Vermont, Kan. das and lowa the Republican party has no claim whatever upon temperance men for help at the bal. lot box. We, the temperance men of Maine, are firm in the conviction that our cliject, the probibition and ‘own, when a young Oxford man, a nobleman, too, Cleveland recalls the growing tendency of low- «rade partisan malignity to assail public men in 2 manner that forbids absolute refutation. Such scandals are not entirely of modern creation. In the days of Washington. and again m the days of Jackson and Clay, scandals were piunged into party eoutests which invaded the inner sgnetity of the purest homes, aud the social and political demoral- ization of war revived social scandals as one of the ready weapons in partisan warfare. There is not a prominent reputable newspaper in the land that has sot been unsuccessfully ap proached to give publicity to grave social scandals against the conspicuous mon of the country, Even Lincoln, the embodiment of domestic purity, did not escape, and the infirmities of President Johnson were magnified into social Jeprogy. Bitter reseat- ments against Grant and Hayes often summoned the vilest social scandals to assall them, and the smothered malicious scandals affecting the honor of both Garfleld and Arthur have failed in general pub- licity only because public journalism frowned upon them. : As to a “Vigorous” Foreign Policy, From the Cincinnati Enqutrer, Did it ever occur to Young America that it is only under Republican rule that the flag has been dis graced in foreign countries and on the high seas! By reference to history he will learn that after every European power had tremblingly paid tribute to the Algerine pirates, James Madison, a Democratic President, refused it, and ordered Commodore De- catur to run the Algerine squadron down, a com- mand that was obeyed with alacrity. It wae a Democratic administration in 1812 that at the point of the bayonet made the British Government apolo- gize for her oppression of American seamen. Under the administration of the Democratic James K. Polk the Mexican greasers captured Capt, Thornton, an American soldier, and they paid for it with the richest half of their territory, viz.: Texas, New Mexico, Arizona and California. The British occu- pied Oregon, and would be there to this day but for a Democratic administration. Carlyle on Cuticle. New York Letter to Hartford Courant. One evening Carlyle was discussing in a small but miscellaneous crowd about books, most likely his advanced the view that he didn't think much of works that expressed the author's opinions and theories only. and he was particularly down on the theory business. Whereupon Carlyle said: Voung sir,once upon a time there was a man in France whose name was Rosseau, and he wrote a book which was filled with theories and opinions, and so on. And the young nobility and fops of the period said the book was wind. But, young sir, it is an in- cident of history that their skina went to bind the second edition of that book! The Presidency Does Not Gaunt. From the Louisville Courter-Journal Mr. Blaine, setting forth in his letter of acceptance his very vague views of civil service reform, says that there should be rigid observance of the law which gives in all cases of equal competency the preference to the soldiers who risked their lives in de@nse of the Union.” Mr. Blaine doesn’t say whether he favors the observanve of this rule to the extent that Gen. Logan should be given the office to which Mr. Blaine himself has been so long aspiring. Snake, Goose Egg and Gosling. From the Hillsboro (Texas) Mirror, I must tell about the snake and the goose egg. Last Thursday my sister-in-law brought a gosling to the house that was hatched from a goose egg that I cut out of a snake. Four weeks ago the snake was killed two hundred yards from the house. There appeared to be a large lump in the snake, so I chopped it in two and we got a large-sized goose egg out of it, put the egg under a hen, and it was the first that hatched by two days. The gosling isa smart gosling. POLITICAL DRIFT. Logan's grammar ig the best thing in his letter. SovuTHERN newspapers generally agree that Blaine's letter is too good for him to live up to.

THE METROPOLITAN PRESS, What the Editors of the New York Journals Are Saying Te-Day. By Telegraph to the Post-Dispatch. New York, July B.— The Women says: The cam- paign of slander against Governor Cleveland has about spent itself. At least one hundred lies have been put in circulation touching tho bills that he has signed or refused to sign as chief executive of the State of New York. It has taken some time to pro- duce the records, but the Hars are on the retreat, The assault upon the Governor's private character made by a few disreputable and sensational news- papers is based upon a scandal that was exploded two years ago. The re- action is now setting in and Grover Cleveland's strength will grow and increase from this day until the fourth day of November." THE SUN. The Sun : “The accusations against Mr. Cleveland are first produced on the eve of a preai- dential election, just after he has been nominated. They have never been things of pubiic notoriety, but of private scandal. If they were true it is fair to infer that they would have been produced and es- tablished long ago. Moreover, there is now no time to inquire into them and to determine whether they are true or false. Accordingly they must be diamiss- ed asso much gossip. They cannot be taken into estimation in ascertaini r. Cleveland's fitness for the office for which he isa candidate. No accusa tions produced without legal proof after the nomi- nation of a candidate are worth a copper, and the publication of such accusations is a scandal of it- 8e * THE TIMES.

HEALTH COMMISSIONER STEVENSON, When Health Commissioner Stevenson's attention was called to the fact, published in the Post-Dim- paTon, that the business men of the city were dis- cussing the advisability of raising a fund to be util- ized by him in cleaning the city, he promptly re- 8 ed: “It is a idea. Let the citizens ve me $10,000 todo the work with and I'll give ma city as clean as a new pin. ith only about $3,500 on hand it is impossible for us to do the work properly. We do all we can and, despite the criticism de nent is subjected to, it accomplishes a deal of very beneficial work. When we fin we are unable to remove a nuis- ange we employ disinfectants and abate it.“ ) By — 7 of proof that the department is really doing all it can with the limited means placed at its disposal, Genera] Stevenson took up e case of a nd nulsance, a complaint of which the reporter a submitted to him. It came from a resident of charged that, notwithstanding the attempt of the Health Department had been called to the nuisance July 5, no action had been taken in the matter. Gen., Stevenson in a very few minutes satisfied r that he had done all that was in his to abate the nuisance as a temporary taken steps to have the sewers of med “There is a stagnan on, I know, is positively gamgerous to the health of those living near it, but what can Ido. The person complaining of it says that it could be drained into the main sewer at minimum cost, but this could not well be done as the pond is lower than the sewer. Even that the sewer was lower © pond they are 20 feet apart and the department is haral able to go to work and build a 200 foot tunnel for the pu of draining the pond as suggested. The only way to effect a lasting remédy is to have it filled up and proceedings have been instituted against the owners of the property, which will result in its being done. To abate the nuisance the Health Department has on two occasions dumped twelve barrels of copperas intothe pond, each time with the very best tem- porary results.“ The case in question is quoted asan example of the way in which the Health Department is coping with the sanitary exigencies which are constantly arising and aleo of the severe criticism to which it is subjected for not accomplishing the impossible with the scant means at present at its dis J. A of the way in which the fund of $10,000 could be utilized, if placed at his disposal, en. Stevenson said: “At present our greatest drawback is the very limited number of our force of inspectors. We have ample power to enforce the removal of the more serious nuisances if only we are notified of them, and the minor ones we can tackle ourselves if the proper force is given us. With thirty additional inspectors at work for two montha, at a cost of $2,500 a month, and with a force of laboring men with carts to follow them a similar outlay, the streets, yards in the city can be P a thoroughly satisfactory sanitary conditition. Even with our present small and alto- ther insufficient force we are making a thorough nepection of the most densely inhabited parts of the city, and causing the removal by the proper owner of such nuisances as are discovered upon the property.” The ealth Commissioner submitted to the re- rter his official record of the work, which showed t is neing done in a very systematicand thorough method, block in the tenement district is ex- amined and reported upon house by house, the fol- lowing — of each house being entered on the record: Name of owner, number of street, pop- ulation, condition of house, ceiiar, yard, closet,sewer and water. When any nuisance is discovered the owner ia at once notified, and should he fail to remove it, proceedin are at once begun in the Po- No block is left until each house in it has been thoroughly inspected and reported upon, and action taken to effect sanitary improvement when necessary. “The extension of this work so that the whole city would be taken in could be accomplished with the amount of money lhave mentioned,” the Health Commissioner d. “In this way there would not bea stirring up of the city's dirt with more harm than good to its health, but a thorough cleansing of it through all its parta.’ GEN. TURNER'S VIEWS. Gen. Turner, Street Commissioner, was at his of- fice early, and was disposed to talk freely on the city's condition, “Our city is not in a deplorable sanitary con- dition, at all,” said he, “but of course much could be done to improve it in that re- spect if we had the . It would cost from $400,000 to $500,000 to remove the mud from the atreetsa, but mud is not unwholesome, and it would do nothing to facilitate the spread of an epidemic. What we must guard against is the accumulation of decaying organic matter, and this can only be done — 4 a very rigid inspection aystem. We are doing all that our means will permit toward keeping the alleys clean, and we are having very good success. St. Louis has sixty-six miles of paved alleys, and when alleys are paved there is absolute- ly no excuse for an accumulation of filth, We are immensely better off than Chicago in this particu- lar, for the Chicago allevs are, as a rule, unpaved and it is almost impossible to keep them clean. 1 spent several days there recently, and I was riding through the city most of the time.

The police can be utilized aa a force of 500 san inspectora. They have the wer to enter idences and examine them horoughly and in a very short time an active inspection on thelr part would show us plainly what work had to be done, I believe that with $10,000 placed at the disposal of the Health Department, they would be able to have the city clean in a couple Of weeks, We will take our share of the expense, whether we are reimbursed or not; at the same time it is the city's work, and H a few citizens voluntarily undertake it certainly ought to get their money back. THEOPHILE PAPIN, “As for the alleys and backyards,” sald Theophile Papin, I have no suggestions to make, But as to the pared streets Ihave a very decided opinion, I think that the paved atreets should all be swept ev- ery night, just as the asphalt pavement of Pine aud Loouat ts swept. they de Hut would not the cost of sweeping be very bur- a7 Cabal hat, general! “Not at all.

This scheme of having the sanitary con- dition of the city placed beyond fear of reproach is such an important one that, if invited to help its ac- complishment we shall certainly be found ready to respond favorably. Asthe work is one which will benefit the city at we should like to be repaid the money advanced, but even if this was not the investment would be a good one. A member of the firm of Crow, Hargadine & Co., said; The cleaning of the city is a thing that ought to be attended to without loss of time, and as Health Department is not able to do it, we citizens ought to take hold of the work. Those who have on hand the work of raising the necessary money should take care that the burden be not hard upon nat th raising the fund which seems to be n accomplishment." Freeman Barnum remark: “We mut raise the fund and do the work quietly, and when it is done the published fact that the city has been placed in thoroughly satiafactory sanitary shape will do usa world of good.

Only three members of the Executive Committee of the Missouri Prohibition Alliance were in the city up to noon and the meeting which, jt was expected, would determine the course of the alliance for the campaign is to take place at 3 o'clock. The fusion programme will probably be very fully discussed it is allogether view of endance, they will defer final action until a fuller vole can be secured. “Have you made up i ur mind. 2 — ou will become a candidate for the noruina- ion?” asked a reporter who called at Governor Johason’s office in search of the Exeoutive Com- mittee. ° The Governor amiled rather wearily, and, throwing up his arms for a good stretch, : “Yes, I've considered the subject very fully,” * “And what is your coneluson ““ That I cannot afford to abandon my business for et perpen. In order to do to the which nominated me, in case I were nominated, would be . — forme to entirely abandon «4 very lucerative and well established practice, which I am in no position to sacrifice.” “But suppose all of the elements agree that you are the man » 8 the — nypothesia, but That would be a very ng no form of fusion or coalition that I can think of would change my purpose. m cannot make the race.

Arrangements for the Opening Progressing in a Satisfactory Mauuer. Secretary Johnston is getting N to move his office into the Exposition Building. Until the Olive street offices are completed he will occu the rooms in the northwest corner, facing on Bt. and Fourteenth streeta. At the meeting yesterday me pe and shaf contract was awarded to the Company St. Louis. 5 The invitations to the different civil and 1— uniformed organizations, though not yet . will be generously responded to, and enough sup- rt has already been promised to warrant the as- sertion that there will be between 15,000 and 90,000 persons in Itue. The Knights of Pythias, Masons, Odd Fellows and sumerous soci are willing to turn out and add their regaliasto beautify the procession, Work has not proceeded far e to render nec- 2 immediate arrangements for painting. and the bids for that work which were opened yesterday are under consideration. The opening exercises on the Olive street steps will be ushered in with the — of cannon. and if the night is favorable there will probably be an exteusive pyrotechnic display. HE WILL BE HELD. Inquest Over the Body of Nettie Hayden, who was Murdered Yesterday. Yesterday Nettie Hayden peered into the exposi- tion room at the Morgue, as was her habit, prompted by a morbid curiosity. To-day Milton Neal, her murderer, and a coroner's jury selected to inquire into herdeath were sworn over her corpse which lay on the very slab that she studied yesterday with so much interest. The inquest was begun this after- noon, when the story of Neal's jealousy and his watches kept over his mistress were related by neighbors. There is abundant testi- mony to show premeditation, threats having been made by him since early in the day. Haggie Hay- den, the dead woman's child, told the story of killing at 782 South Tenth street, showin t Neal deliberately killed the woman. Mrs. Hayden was separated from her husband, and Neal had left his wife long ago. The unholy union lasted five years. during which five children were bom to the woman. MOSE AND HIS MISTRESS, A Ft, Smith Business Man Arrested at Lit- tle Rock for Irregularities. By Telegraph to the Fost.Dispaten. Lrrrin Rock, Ark., July 2.—Moses Bloom, a young business man at Ft. Smith, was arrested here yesterday for the theft of a watch and diamond pin from Madame Dot Roland, with whom he was intimate. The madame had permitted Moses to wear the jewelry, and lately when on a visit to the capitol he spouted them for $40, and went broke against faro. Yester- day the madam and Mose came to town and she had him arrested. The matter created quite a flur- ry in Hebrew circles, and was finally compromised by the return of the super and — to its prop- er owner, and an effort is being made to h the whole natter up. MRS. MARTHA A. ROE. Death This Morning of the Widow of the Late John J. Roe. The death of Mrs. Martha A. Roe this morning ro- moves one more of the ties which binds the St. Louis of to-day with the St. Louis of the good old times before the war. This. lady was the widow of John J. Roe, a merchant, who, fu his day, occupied the first rank in the commercial circles of the city, and who was as widely known as he was generally respected. Mrs, Roe hada wide circle of friends, and she filled every duty of home, church and society in a most — me A manner. She was a friend of the poor, and a ready gn thizer with all of those upon whom the hand aftlio- tion was laid, for sorrow had been a frequent guest at her own hearth. She died after v ing a good old age, and she has passed on beyoud the border where she will reap the reward of a long noble, Christian womanbood. Summer Saunterers. H.

The Colonel Who Didn't Recognize Gen. Lee's Authority to Surrender. From the Washington National Tribune. Gen. Sheridan tells a very interesting story about the last —— i incidents of the surrender. bered that he headed off Court House, and captured 11 trains of supplies which were waiting for him there. When Lee found out that he had no stores or ammunition for his army, and that his retreat was cut off, he sent a flag of truce, which Custer received and conducted to Sheridan. The two armies laid on their arms waiting for Grant, who was on his way to the front. In the meantime Sheridan and some of bis staff started to ride over toward A ttox Court House, when they were fired upon by a regiment of rebels, half concealed among some underbrush. The General and his party waved their hats toward the place where the shots came from, and made all sorts of demonstra- tions to silence the unexpected and m attack, but to no purpose. Finally the Con- federate officer who brought the flag and Ma Allen of Sheridan’s staif, rode over to see what W * ind South Caroli y found a na t, whose Colonel, in a grandiloquent — formed them that the war wasn’t over, and that he and his regiment did not the authority of Gen.

Sheridan, who, with his party, had retired under cover, and reported to him the situation. The Gen- eral called Custer and told him there was one regiment over in the brush which hadn't got enough of it, and it would be well for him to go over there and “‘snaff it out.” Custer ordered his buglar to sound Forward,“ and at the head of a regiment dashed across the interwal which lay between the two armies, which were drawn up in long lines and stood atrest. It wasa beautiful Sunday morning—a perfect Spri day—and the sight of that regiment, wi Custer’s long tawny hair as their banner, - ing at full gallop across the flelds, evoked a cheer from both armies. Meantime Sheridan had reached the Court House, where he met Gen. Gordon, recently Senator from Georgia, and Gen.

Gordon looked up in anxiety and alarm and asked one of his aids to ride over in that direction and find out what it meant. Never you mind, General,” said Sheridan. “It’s all right. I know what it means. Custer is over there having some fun with a South Carolinian who never surrenders.” Gordon insisted u sending the officer to stop the fight, but ore he got there the doughty Col had ted Custer with a very much battered sword.

A Bevival in Rents Noted—Threatened Col- lapse of the Building Boom—A Live- ly Demand for Suburban Prop- erty—Bright Promise of Autumnal Activity. Thors are but few lines of business so readily af- fected by the weather as that of real estate. Trans- actions to which the buyer and seller of land are party are nocessarily slow. The former very sel- dom is and the latter never wants to seem in a hur- ry; hence any cause for delay is apt to produce it. There is, too, ina large majority of cases, an inter- ested third party, who keeps in the background during the earlier stages of negotiation, but who, as matters are drawing to a climax, comes to the front and shows very soon that she holds the veto power and must be made cognizant of all the pros and cons in the case before she gives her consent to the close of the sale. If it isa case of buying a lot to build a house upon she very particular on a great many points that her husband has disregarded, and the absence of certain qualifications which she deems essential to her comfort often results in a sudden end to negotiations which had begun to promise a speedy transfer. For this reason many real estate men deciine to open negotiations with a family man until be has brought his better half with him. Thus it comes that, when the weather is too hot, or too cold, or too rainy, the consummation of trades is postponed until a future occasion. In no week in the year thus far has the weather exercised more influence than the nt, much of whose duilness has been due to the fact with the ther- mometer climbing in the direction of the hundreds, ladies have not been willing to leave their homes. “I find that the greatest activity in this dull season is in suburban property, for which the demand is improved,” said Mr. John G. Priest. reduction of rates by the run- ning to Kirkwood, Webster, Benton and other sub- urban places has RESULTED MOST FAVORABLY. All the residences in these are occupied, and the demands of many who wish to live there remain unsatisfied. gives an idea of what will be ac- complished when rapid transit is at the people's dis- posal. As soon as this is supplied we shall see the most remarkable era of improvement which this city has ever enjoyed.” I heard it stated to-day that the building boom which started in so bravely this spring has had a se- rious set-back lately. “There will be a check upon it,such as other bus- ness has received if confidence is not more general- ly restored. However, let us have rapid transit and then you will see buildings going up all over the city. It is the one great. thing needed. We shall never know how great the demand for it has been until the existence of the rapid transit roads gives us a practical exposition of it.” George P. Woltt was able to report a very satisfac- tory week's business, having made several very nice sales, among them fifty feet on Eugenia street, east of Jefferson avenue at $52 a foot to Patrick McGrath, the plasterer, who intends to build upon it a handsome residence for his own occupation; 85 feet on Morgan street, west of Sarah, at 840 a foot, purchased for speculation; 140 feet on the east side of Spring ave- nue, near St. Louis avenue, at $20 a foot, to Wm. J. Seaver. He has also several other sales in negotia- tion of land in the western of the city, among them one of 300 feet on Grand, near Deimar avenue, which will probably be consumated in a few days. “The demand for real estate is picking up.“ he said “and at present is remarkably lively for this time of year. Renting has greatly improved. This week I rented ten houses, and our renting list at present is much smaller than it was a month ago, a fact which cannot be considered other than very encouraging. It is a fact that building is not going to be as lively asit was. A great many people are just now. several parties whose intention wasto build at once upon them, but who have changed their minds since and postponed building until the fall, or, possibly, next 1. G.

Among the financ ons they — — was one resulting in the building of a andsome set of flats on Twenty-second street, be- tween Dickson and Cass avenue. They expect, with fine weather during the ensuing week, to perfect one | or two large sales now pending. They noted quite a revival in the renting department of their business. T. S. Noonan, the irrepressible house agent, was found sighing for a new world to conquer—that is to say, for a iong list of houses to supply to the tenants who apply to him daily. Mr. Noonmna not a single house on his list, and he is seriously thinking of giving away chromos and Waterbury watches to | their renting property in his hands. He is already | providing the Hill Flats on Grand avenue, which are | not yet ready for occupation, with tenants, Mr. A. A. Mellier having taken a lease of the second story, seven-rvom flat, at $60 a month—another evidence | of er of that class of residence in this | city. He bas just brought his spring building busi- ness to a close in the completion of three six-room bricks on Channing avenue and Thomas street, making thirteen houses in all which he has built within the past twelve months. E. 8 Varner had a fairly busy week of it, disposing of several West Side lots at satusfactory prices and supplying the wants of several applicants for cheap lots in a less fashiouabie part of the city. J. E Greffet made a few sales during this week, among them 50 feet on Maffit avenue, between Cora and Marcus avenue, at $10 a foot. Business, on the whole, however, was dull, and the demand for loans exceeded the supply. He considered the outlook for the fall as very satisfactory. By the middle of A u- rust, he believed, the stringency of thef}money mar- cet would have greatly passed away aud the result | would be | A LIVELY INTEREST in real estate of all kinds, with a resumption of the | abs of the city. At the Real Estate Exchange the revival of inter- est in rents was very noticeable, although | on the hotter days the ladies were conspicuous by their absence during the mid-day hours.
