Mr. King makes the following report: “I feel confident that these stories about the Gov- worthy action imputed to him. I learned enough to I went everywhere and did quite a little bit of de- tective work on my own account. The facts seem ‘sowing his wild oats,’ he met this woman, with whom his name has been connected, and became intimate with her. She was 8 widow and not a good woman by any means. Mr. Cleveland, learning this, began to make inquiries about her and discovered that two of his friends were intimate with her at the same time as himself. When a cbild was born, Cleveland, in order to shield his two friends, who were both mar- ried men, resumed the responsibility of it. He took care of the child and mother like a man, and DID EVERYIHING FOR THEM ofthe man. Eighteen copies of the Buffalo Tele- | gf@ph containing the storiés had been mailed to him from different parts of the country, besides letters from the man Ball and others. The whole matter having been explained to Mr. Beecher's sat- isfaction, he will now support the Governor, as the foolish peccadilloes of a young man committed four- teen or fifteen years ago will not weigh against his present life and political record.” GETTING IN A CLOSE PLACE. The Republican Campaign Manager an Im- porter of Foreign Laborers, By ‘Telegraph to the Post-Dispatch. PrrTspure, Pa., August 8.—A prominent labor ad- vocate here has just . brought to light the fact that Ben Jones, chairman of the Republican National Committee, was the first man to suggest the impor- tation of contract foreign labor into Western Penn- sylvania. The extensive works of Jones, Laughlin & C@., were closed inthe early part of 1867 on ac- count of a strike of the boilers and puddlers. The firm ip December, 1866, cut down the puddlers and boilers $1 per ton, notwithstanding the high price of iron and the great cost of living. This work was the hardest and least remunerative in the iron mills at that time, asthe present labor-saving appliances were notin use. The men grumbled but kept at work. In February, 1867, this firm, with four oth- ers, ordered another cut of $1 per ton. The men said they could not live at the reduced wages, the reduction amounting to 25 per cent of their wages, and a strike was organized. Jones, Laughlin & Co. sent Joseph Schonlon, their agent, to Europe, and he brought backa number of iron-workers from Belgitiin, and put themin the places of strikers. Some 500 or 600 menwith families were brought over by Jones’ and three or four other mills. The foreigners were under contract at wages so low that they found after a time that they could not live on them, and they, too, left. In the end the strikers prevailed inthe organization of the iron-workers’ scale. The indignation at the time was very deep against Jones, who was regarded the prime mover in the Matter. Several meetings were held at the time, at which Miles Humphrey, now at the head of the Bureau of Labor Statistics of Pennsylvania, pre- sided. The Republicans here fear that the knowl- edge of these facts will materially lessen Jones’ influence among the laboring classesin Pennsyl- vania.

The Central Labor Union then took hold of the beef question with vigor.

Public Men Who Have Met Tragic : Deaths. -— — An Interesting Chapter on Their Lives and Deaths—Those Who Have Been As- sassinated and Those Who Died Fighting—The Late Will- iam M. Tweed. Spectal Correspondence of the Fost-Diapateh. WasHINGTON, August 6.—The dozen Congressmen or ex-Congressmen who have suicided, as referred to in this correspondence a couple of days ago, does not by any means fill up the list of those who have met tragic deaths. Congressmen are human the same as other people, and the history of their lives and deaths and selections from the same make an interesting champter to the student of human na- ture. Take the case of Nathaniel Peabody, for in- stance. He was an officer of the revolutionary war, having been the first man to resign a royal commis sion for the cause of his adopted country. He was a member of the Continental Congress and promin- ent in the revolutionary war, and honored by all; yet he spent the last years of his life in the deb‘or's limits of the jail, having never recovered from the pecuniary embarrassment which followed his long service in the war, and finally died as above stated. Another case in which a member of Congress died in utter want was that of Thomas A)exan- der Marshall of Kentucky, son of Humphrey Mar- shall. He was a member of the Twenty-second Con- gress and a man of great brilliancy. “He b:ame,” so says Poore’s Congressional Reoord, “a confirmed drunkard AND OFTEN SUFFERED FOR FOOD, being during the last years of his life entirely de pendent upon charity fur sustenance.” He died suddenly in Louisville. Going to the other extreme. the records show that as many have died from gout as from want. Assassination been the cause of the death of several Congressmen.

He was in constant (read lest his offense should reach his wife and child, and Cleveland, being the only un- married man, relieved him of his embarrassment by image in manners and looks. heroic part, suffering the oblo quy that his friends might not bring unpleasantness to their hearth- sides. From Buffalo I went direct to Albany and called on Gov. Beecher was very much disturbed by those stories that have been circulated about him and thatl would like a statement from him. The Governor then frankly told me that my version of the stories was substantially correct, and that the account pub- ished in the Buffalo Telegraph was false and scandalous. honorable man should.’ at the Governor and not felt that he was speaking in his power, and he provided for them until the woman become aconfirmed victim to drink and made it impossible, by her conduct, for him to have anything todo with her. He never separated the He accepted responsibilities that not one man in a thousand has shouldered, and acted honorably in the matter. I questioned many men in Buffalo who have known the Governor for years,and I found that he was admired and respected even by those who disliked him politically. Like many men, Mr. Cleveland likes good living and good company, but ne never goes to excess in anything, and he respects the prejudices and the opinions of others. The other stories told against the Governor cannot be substantiated, and, indeed, the evidence all goes to show that they were manufactured out of whole cloth. No one seemed willing to father them. It was: ‘I heard this and I heard that’ afd ‘so and so told me this.’ After the child was born the woman made a habit of visiting every man with whom she had been intimate and demanded money under a for she was an attractive woman—were married and the man who in reality was the father of the infant SHOULDERING ALL THE RESPONSIBILITY. That man is dead and the child is his perfect Cleveland acted a Cleveland. I told him that Mr. ‘I acted throughout,’ he said, ‘as any No man could have looked cussion in political circles to-day. At the Republic- an headquarters the announcement was received with expressions of entire satisfaction, as Gen. But- ler ed upon as the David who will slay Goliath ve It is Well Ebown that “Butler's sécept" ance issimply carrying out the scheme of Dana, Kelly and Butler to defeat Cleveland on one hand, while Butler is confident of making such a showing this year that in 1888 he will be the candidate of the Democrats, Workingmen, Reformers, Socialists, ag pee and wet hen nod element —- to the Republican party utier’s programme to devote all his energy to New York and AN setts. John Kelly said to-day, that Butler's accept- ance put an entirely new face on the situation; that he was popular with the w classes and would poll a large vote, while he would greatly complicate the canvass. Gen. Roger A. or was wild with enthusiasin and declared that Butler will poll 40.000 votes in New York County and thus defeat Cleve- land. Straight out Democrats denounce Butler as a litical traitor and trickster and look with concern at is present attitude. Tammany is very much pleased, if the feelin wy, of half adozen sachems in- terviewed at the City Hall is any indication of the general feeling. There is no doubt but that Tam- many will formally indorse Cleveland in due time, but it will be PRECISELY SUCH AN INDORSEMENT as it gave Hancock and will amount to the same. As a Tammany Alderman said blunt! f tontens while discussing a cocktail at Cook’ ublicans admit that Butler will poll 50, “... ay State, which is just what ae want him to do to make the electoral vote certain for Blaine.“ The prediction is even made that Cleveland will withdraw in favor of Butler <9 on 10.

CLEVELAND has gone to the woods and lakes to huntand fish, while LOGAN has been paying a visit to Jay Gouup on his yacht —fo hunt and fish, THE entente cordiale between BUTLER and Cuaries A. Dana of the Sun isso complete that it is said they have agreed upon the cut of overalls and the size of dinner-cans they are to use while working the labor racket. Tux breaking up of the Oklahoma squatters’ camp by the military puts anend toan impu- dent violation of the laws of the land, and of the rights of the Indians. If any one is in- clined to repeat Mr. Payne’scrime he should be stopped at the start. ne ee Tux least that the Democratic voters of the Fifteenth Ward can do for Coh PRATHER is to rally around him to a man and send him to Jefferson City in triumph. It would be terri- ble to think of a statesman who had been hon- ored with a place on the National Committee and who was not able to carry his own ward. Tne Sun is very wide of the mark when it says that ‘‘the enemies of BUTLER are for the moat part to be found among the rich, the highly educated and the aristocratic.” Every representative of subsidies, of Government con- tracts, of railroad monopolies, corporate in- fluence and protected profits whois friendly to BLAINE is equally friendly to BuTLER, and anxious that the success of his campaign may reach his utmost expectations. Tue meaning of BuTLER’s candidacy ap- pears quite plainly in a dispatch from Troy, which isa strong labor center, and where the leader of the Blaine forces is reported as saying: “Why, there js no power under heaven that can prevéint BLaink from getting a majority here. Buti will take away more than two- thirds the labor vote of the Democratic party and part of the other third will go for BLaing.” BLaINnk and Bur.er fit each other like hand and glove. THE hearty and unquestioned support given to CLEVELAND by Henky WARD BEECHER imposes on the Globe-Democrat the painful duty of repudiating {ts correspondent who ‘supported the statement that BrecHER ‘could not conscientiously support CLEVELAND,” by an alleged .interview with Mr. and Mrs Beecuer. The truth of the matter is that the noble science of interviewing has latterly fallen into the hands of journeymen. and botchers, until ‘the first impression made by an interview js that it will probably be repudiated in the next issue of the paper. ST THERE seems to be some imexplicable diffi- culty in getting the news from Mexico accur- ately stated. Our dispatches from Mexico yesterday gave Mr. SULLIVAN as authority for the statement that diplomatic relations had been resumed with England, and said that Mr. SULLIVAN was the representative of the United Btatesin Mexico. Mr. SULLIVAN is not the representative of the United States in Mexico, and diplomatic relations with England have not been resumed, All that has been done is clearly set forth in a dispatch from London which says ‘In the Lords, Earl GRANVILLE stated that negotiations with Mexico for a new treaty of commerce would shortly be resumed.” ———— —— —_ -—- Taz House of Delegates cannot afford to make any mistake in the matter of that appro- priation for cleaning the city. St. Louis is inviting and anticipating the largest concourse of visitors to her Exposition and her Fair that was evor attracted to any city west of the Alleghenies. The city must be put in a decent sanitary condition to receive them, or they had better stay away. The people and the other authorities are willing and eager to do their part, and look with impatience upon the amend- ment mania, which renders the fate of the ordinance uncertain. Its defeat would be the first serious failure in the steps for promoting tho success of the Exposition and the Fair, and making them richer in practical benefits than all former efforts. If the appropriation is promptly passed, we believe it will prove the best paying investment the House of Delegates has approved this year, , a an Havino fought against grain inspection and option dealing in St. Louia, the local millers are now fighting against a proposition to make the wheat grades of St, Louis conform to those of other wheat markets. To any one not pecu- niarily interested in obstructing the prosperity ef Bt, Louis, the proposition is ‘so plain that it js a puzzle to understand why St. Louis ever as set up a special standard Louis bas not, as far as is content to use the same standards of latitude | and longitude as are used in the rest of the civilized world, It is a pity.that the millers cannot come down to modern times. GENERAL KING'S REPORT. A thorough investigation of the Buffalo scandals, made at the request of Rey. Henry Waxp Beecuegr by his Brooklyn friend, Gen. Horatio C. Kine, has resulted in just sucha report as was to have been expected from the promptness of the Buffalo Re publican papers in - discrediting the foul charges made by BALL, MITCHELL and the disreputable Moore. It was evident from the beginning that 10 man guilty of the conduct charged to Governor CLEVELAND could have sustained the high character and popularity cheerfully credited tohim in his own city by its two leading Blaine organs. After full investigation on the spot, Gen, Kine found that the Maria Hacpin affair oc- curred twelve or fourteen years ago; that she was a fast widow between whom and Governor CLEVELAND there was an improper intimacy, and that he had subsequertly done all he could to atone for his misstep. A discovery of the fact that the widow sustained the same relations to two or three of his mar- ‘ried friends prevented his marrying her, and raised a question as to the paternity of her child; but to protect a married friend, whom the chill really resembles, CLEVELAND, being a bachelor, assumed the responsibility and em- ployed Judge BURROUGHEs to provide for both mother and child. This is the whole story in brief, as substan- tiated by the woman's attorney and friends, who make no complaint of the Governor’s sub- sequent behavior towards her. It is the report of a gentleman of high character, who made the investigation. without any political or personal bias in CLEVELAND’S favor, and solely to learn the whole truth about the matter for Mr, BEECHER’s sake, It does not acquit Gov- ernor CLEVELAND of immoral conduct in the first instance, and, freely confessing his sin, he does not ask any such acquittal; but it does show that his subsequent conduct was that of an honorable man, willing to suffer and make amends for his error. As to other stories charging him with drunk- enness and Jewd or indecent behavior, Gen. KinG found them stamped in Butfalo by Re- publicans and Democrats as campaign lies, manufactured outof whole cloth and without foundation in fact. It is to be hoped that this will put an end to assaults on private life and character from either side. In our Presidential contests they have always recoiled to the injury of the party resorting to them. Our people instinctively look to the public records of Presidential can- didates as the only safe criterions for the voter, They properly assume that a man who has reached that eminence, passing unscathed through the ordeal of local party contests be- fore popular tribunals familiar with his private life, can be justly arraigned before the whole people on his public and official record alone. —_—_—_—_—_—_—_—_—T SILVER PAYMENTS. The gold reserve in the Treasury is now re- duced to $117,000,000, and Secretary FoLGer says he will not let it be drained so low as to endanger the amount necessary to pay interest in gold. He hopes thatan influx of gold this month will replenish the reserve, but says if it does not the ordinary Treasury payments will have to be made in silver. The effect of this in his opinion will be a slight premium on gold. But as silveris lawful money and we have enough surplus to pay all obligations for twenty years to come, he has decided that the Assistant Treasurer at New York shall soon begin to pay United States notes and silver to some extent in the settlement of clearing house balances, Nodoubt he is correct in anticipating a slight premium on gold as a_ result of the hostility of the New York banks to United States notes and silver. But how they are to maintain that premium for any length of time is not clear. With an annual balance of trade in our favor to the amount of $50,000,000, which must be paid in gold or American securities, the gold reserve can not long remain at a low ebb. For every purpose except the set- tlement of foreign balances against us, or the payment of duties or imports, silver and Treasury notes are a legal tender at par, and as good as gold to the business man, With the foreign trade balance largely in our favor, there is no basis fora permanent pre- mium on gold. At one season of the year, when the balance is temporarily against us, gold flows out and the reserveis reduced, but soon the periodical érop exports change the aggregate balance largely in our favor, and the reserve is replenished. France always maintains a silver circulation more than twice as large as ours and keeps it at par with = gold, though her silver coins are intrinsic- ally further below the gold standard than ours. Her silver circulation does not put a pre- mium on gold, nor does it in the least embar- rass her domestic or foreign exchanges. The doleful predictions of the New York banks that remonetization of silver would drive ail the gold out of the country were not realized, and they are probably as much mistaken in antici- pating serious embarrassments as the result of introducing silver and notes into the settlement of the Sub-Treasury’s clearing-house balances. pS We printin full the report of Mr. Kino on the Beecher scandal and we call on the Giobe- Democrat to make good itsclaim that in the matter of publishing or suppressing news it is fair and impartial. The Globe-Democrat has reprinted from othér sourves without comment andas a matter of news the worst of the scandals which malice could invent or distort to injure the personal character of CLEVELAND. No one will blame it for publishing what was a part of theeurrent news of the day.

Some Very Interesting Reading for People Breathing St. Louis Air, Testimony Which the Members of the House of Delegates are Bound to Consider, Where the Nuisances Exist, What They Consist of and How They Can be Abated—Experimental Work by the Board of Health and Ite Excellent Results. This evening the bill to appropriate $15.000 to the improvement of the sanitary condition of the city will be reported back to the House of Delegates by the Committee on Ways and Means, with what recommendation is not yet known. ‘This bill is the direct outgrowth or product of a popular sentiment in favor of an immediate and comprebensive work of cleaning, and the belief that it was very necessary was no more general por wide- spread than the belief that unless it was expeditious it might as well be let alone until reached in the ordinary course of department business, Since the introduction of the bil! several membersof the House of Delegates conceived the idea that this crisis was just the right occasion on which to at- tempt to make a radical and serious change in one of the branches of the city goverument, or if that could not be accom lished. that it was at least a good time to invade the Health Department and by ordin- ance to direct the officers thereof how they should d how they should not spend the money about to appropriated, Already it has been practically settied that the project of revolutionizing the de- rtment work is not practicable, and it remaing to be geen whether the geutiemen in question will affix amendments to the bill by which the Health De- partment will not only be handicaped, but will be relieved of a large measure of the responsibility which should rest upon it. Observation has shown that. however admirable the theory may be that the police inapentice is sufficient fer the protection o the public against wUnsanitary conditions, it is not to be reli upon in an emergency where an epidemic impends,. Else, there would have been no occasion for convening the Assembly in extraordinary session at this time. The argument that the department which has failed up to date will be perfectly efficient henceforward ds hardly rational enough to warrant the community in taking any desperate chances upon it, especially as the board which controls it is of the opinion that there is a very important branch of inspection which the policemen should not attempt to attend to. It is the view of allofour public officials who have had any experience in, or large observation of, the abatement of Duisapces the most eflicacious manner for Cleansing the city is that of a rigid inspection by men of fatelligence employed for that special duty, followed up by a strict enforcement of the laws and ordinances which are designed to aid in the work. The opponents of this view bave absolutely nothing but opinion to back their views, however sincere! they may entertain them, and tt will be very strange indeed if any further time is lost by the Houseof Delegates in trying to do more than provide the means for the use of the board on whom the responsibility of properly app ing them will rest, As some further exhibit of facts, how ever, seems to be necessary to convince these legislators, first, that there is a great need for sani- work, and next results are attendant in on under the — proposed, the Post- DispatTou sent a corps of reporters out this morning to get information concerning the conditions pre- va ling in the several police districts and to learn just what results the work of the Health Depart- ment.as conducted upon a small and experimental scale, bas yielded. WHAT THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT SAYS. ‘We have been unable, as you know.” said Assist- ant Health Commissioner Francis, who spoke for the Department in the temporary absence of Gen. Stevenson, “to carry on any very comprehensive system of inspection, but with the limited means in our possessiongve have q@one some experimental work in that direction which has yielded such excellent and palpable results as to oarry conviction to any one of common sense. Itseemsto methat this apparent difference of opinion asto the subject of sanitary inspection is due ve praely to a misunderstanding as to what is intended by the department. There can be no question that the lice department can, without outside of ita legitimate province, or aasumin an onerous duties, do excellen service in the direction of cleansing the city.” va mean, as to reporting filth in alleys and ards?” ! “No, I don't. Of course they can do that without trouble, but after all that is only a report, and after it has been made, the Heaith Department must take the matter in hand. But I mean that there is much they can do entirely independent of the Health Department.” “Well, cite a few cases?’ “I might give youa dozen. For instance, here is Section 27 of Article 8, Chapter 14 of the Revised Or- dinances, which provides that all wagons used for the hauling of earth, rubbish, offalor other offen- sive matier through the streets shall have tight boxes at least 24 inches high at the sides and at least 18 inches high at the rear. Now that is a live and unequivocai ordinance, and anybody violating it is guilty of a misdemeanor. It is the duty of the — whenever they see such a case of violation, arrest the driver and prosecute him in the Police Court. They need not consult the Board of Health atall. Yet go outon the street right now, and you will not walk four blocks before you meet a wagon hauling dirt or refuse, which fails in every a ang to eg with the ordinance, and which drops portions of its contents as it goes along. Go anywhere in the vicinity of a large excavation and you will find the streets covered to the depth of several inches with the droppings of such wagons. Yet you never hear of any effort to enforce the ordinance, while there is a cry on all sides against the mud and filth dropped on the streets.” rtant instance!” “Is that the most im “No; Il referred to that because I happened to think of it first. There isan ordinance probibitin the dumping of offaiand refuse on open lots | making it a misdemeanor, but it is almost a dead letter. There is an ordinance against throwing pone. ashes or other offal in the streets, vet it is one a thousand times a day. There is an ordinance against allowing wash water or other dramage to run oul into the _— gutters, on the basis that every house must have sewer connections, vet out in the populous districts you can find foul gutters and sidewalk streams of soapy water in many direc tions. Now these practices are prolific of some of the worst nuisances to be found in the city, and yet en arrest is rarely, ifever, made. lam not finding fault with the Police Department, because | ‘know how harsh it appears to make arresta for offenses that in ordinary Umes appear trivial; but I am just indieating how that department can be made to serve as @ great auxiliary to the Health partment without any increase whatever in j powers. lf a few arresis and prosecutions were made on several sunds in various parts of the city it would have a very salutary effect in vent 2 which iq far more deairable they « a them lo this, and Seep a fair look-out or visible nuisances, it is as much as they Gaghy te be requires to do, and is as +h as they can do well.” eC But what would the special! inspectors have to do a him to ae rae t North Seventh street. Condition of vard, bad Condition of water-closet, Mthy and full to the top. Condition of sewer, good—but no connection at all between water-closet and sewer. Kind of water in use, hydrant. “Here is another: 604 to 610 North Seventh street. M. A. Wolff, nt. _ of inmates, 40. Condition of house, second floor filthy. Condition of celiar, good.

He makes allthese entries on the stub, and then on the blank writes out a notice to the agent calling his atteution to the bad features and requesting im mediate remedy. He serves that notice before coming back to this office. A day or two later he calls at the house aiid sees if the nuisance has been abated, and if not he reports to this office and we take immediate steps to bring the agent into court.” “And in the twenty blocks inspected how many nuisances have you discovered {”’ “beventy-five, or nearly four to the bloek. This of itself shows (the importance of the plan.” “Do the owners usually respond prompsty ?”” “Yos, very promptly. Out of forty-three cases where we served notices and afterwards reinspected, thirty-one had been attended to within three days. The balance of the seventy-five cases have not yet been reinspected. Such a system as this cannot fail Lo secure absolute cieaniiness, Besidea, it educates people in good sanitary habits, which would not be the case if we abated the nuisance ourselves.”’ “Don't you do any cleaning up at city expense?” “Very little of it. In cases, however, where peo- ple are very poor, and the nuisance very offensive, or where a number of families are implicated with- out any certainty as to which is responsibie, it is far better for the city to have the nuisance abated im- mediately at ite own cost than to waste time trying to make somebody elsedo it. if we secure the appropriation now being considered, we will use a good deal of the money that way. The weeds ought t© be cut down wherethey grow rank)ly in open lota, especially where there are depressions, for inthe latter case they serve asa hiding place for offal and other stuff that makes a nuisance. Back of No. 4000 Morgan, for instance, there isa case Of this kind which needs very prompt atten- tion.” Where is your inspector working now?!" “In the district north of Washington avenue and west of Eleventh street. He reports that a frightfully dirty district. One place he entered yesterday he says is one of the dirtiest places he ever saw in his life. It is a place for «illing chickens, and the walls of the confined quarters were spattered with blood, feathers and entrails, while the stench was terribie. The occupant had a little stove or furnace, in which he burns feathersand entrails, but the chimney is iow, and the odor in the neigh- borhood is sickening. The inspector made him clean up, and ina very few minutes he had filled three barrels with the olfai that lay about. Another — he found to-day, No. 1310 Morgan, which ad two feet of water in the cellar from a leak in the pipe, and roodness knows how long it had been that way, with people living over it. What do you do when well water is reported in use?" “We simply makea note of the location of the well, and we are steadily carrying on the work of analyzing samples from every well we can find in the city. Of course if a weil is foul, we ciose it.” “And what about disinfectants?" “We keep a large supply of disinfecting material in every police station in the city, and we fur- nish it free to anfoperson who applies. When the police in their rounds discover a foul smelling place, they instruct the family to send tw the station, where a bucket or panful of copperas is furnished and they aré told how to useit. We have given away over 200 barrels of copperas since the season opened, and it has done immense service.” “And how much does it cost?" “About $2 20 per barrel of 400 pounds.” THE SECOND DISTRICT. The Second Police District reaches from Jefferson avenue to the river and from Park avenue and Miller street to the northern boundaries of old Carondelet. It is chiefly a residence territory and seems to be clearly and well drained. Sergeant Lang was found at the Soulard Street Station and asked to describe those portions of the district which needed special attention for sanitary reasons. ast of Carondelet avenue, or Broadway, as it is now called,” said he,*‘is chiefly built on made ground, as there was an old slough there which has since been filled in. Still, the Lron Mountain Rail- road tracks fillup the greater partof the made und and the dwellings on it are not numerous. he chief thing to be done there would be to fill up the wells, as the police watch other nuisances very closely. On Second Carondelet avenue and Victor street there is an old stone quarry filled up and dwellings built over it, and the same may be said of the old Work House pond on Park avenue and Second Carondelet avenue. These are the only dangerous parts of the district. We havea great many tenements in the district, but they are differ- ent from those in other parts of the city; they are not on alleys you know, and the owners generally live in part of the houses themselves. There are very few negroes in the district; n allof them live about Lafayette between Second and Broadway. I think the only parts of the district thatneed attention will be found to be east of Broadway and about those filled up ponds and quarry holes, I think we need to fill the wells a great d more than everything else."' THE CENTRAL DISTRICT. Where the Four Courts and the Union Depot stand, embracing a stretch of territory reaching frem Kighth street to Jefferson avenue and from Gratiot past Clark avenue almost to Market street was in the memory of many middle-aged St. Louisans Chouteau’s pond. Just inthat thickly tenemented part between Twelfth and Thirteenth and Poplar and Clark avenue, was the favorite swimming place of the St. Louis boys of the ‘30's, the ““Rackrow" as peopled with families which live four in a house. ‘lhis region is one which, in the nature of things, must be unhealthy. Fortunately it is oc- cupied largely by railroad tracks and the Union Depot, the former following the valley of the Chouteau Pond Creek out to its source at Rock Springs. The pond dam was very nearly Eighth and Poplar streets, and from this point Mill Creek wound its way southeasteriy to the river. Along its old bed a sewer now run but the valley is made ground and peopled thickly with the poor. People who were in St. Louis during the epidemic of 1866 say that maps of these old water beds and courses could be made with tolerable ac. curacy simply by dotting a city map with the local- ities of the deaths from cholera. A great many al- leys in the Central District were examined by a re- rter and found to be passally clean and passably irty. Taking Sixth and Spruce streets as a center and drawing a radius of four blocks, the whole region was found to be bad. The alleys, while hardly to be described as filthy, reek with sour and unhealthy smells. The stone pavements are not ex- actly dirty toa degree which would require that they be reported as nuisances, but they are not clean enough to arantee ealth. Through- out this neighborhood there is an air of ualor in the houses, the people crowded in the alley tenements are evidently not cleanly in their persons, and there is a flavor of sewage which appeals to the nostril os the more material dirt displays itself tothe eye. While wan- dering in this unsavory part of the town, the report- er met two policemen bent upoo a similar mission. Without introducing himself be watched their work. They were certainly systematic and thorough. They went into one yard after another, wissing none, and in each case examined the prvies critic- ally, noting their condition and recording the same along with the fact. when necessary, that there were garbage heaps in the yardor inthe alleys. The reporter met Capt, Fruchte at the Four Courts and asked him ta describe as closely as possible those parts of his districts which were ino the worst sanitary condition, and which needed attention most clone . “Idon't think that there isany part ofthe district in a dangerous ae * gaid the tain; “in that, in spite of the many tenement regions in this district, the whole will be found to compare favor- ably with a similar part of any city in the country.

It won't do to confine our watch to the tenements, you see.” And the Captain ran down page after page of the record, showing “full privies,” “filthy yards,” ‘‘filthy alleys,” credited to the most aristo- cratic regions in the Central. “How many inspections do you make?" queried the reporter. er.” Jefferson avenue aud from Washington avenye Park avenue and Miller street. AT CHESTNUT STREET STATION. “The streets and alleys inthis part of the city,” said Sergt. Frank Watkins of the Chestnut Street Station, “are so much in use by the business houses that they cannot get info a dirty condition. Much of the freight business is done from the alley entrances to all these stores. Paradise alley is reported in good condition by the officers. You see the people sit out in the alley after the traffic of the day is over, and they have to keep the cobble stones swept clean for their own comfort. In 1866 the cholera was worst in the blocks located between Levee and Third, and Walnut and Plum streets." Like the Third District, the Central Sub, which covers the territory east of Sixth street and south of Washington avenue, is in fair condition as far as the streets and alfeya are concerned. As much cannot be said of the private premises, as gathered from a visit to various officers on their beats. Houses Nos. li4and 116 Chestnut street are built over a cellar from which a damp, unhealthy smell emanates. The place has been repeatedly reported as a nui- sance, and after the attention of the authorities was called toit several times the waters which had seeped through, with a flavor from faulty vault connections, was pumped out.- This left the place in anything but a healthy condition, as a visit tothe lace discovered. This property is owned by the napp estate, Just east of it loca a four-stery tenement ing. in which attention would . wasted. On inquiring the sanitary condition of this place at the station the officers said “we are yery careful to attend to the Cleanliness of that place for our own benefit, as it is just across the street from us. We have distribut- ed five barrels of copperas and sentenough into this building to completely disinfect the place. On Vine street between Secoad and Third streets several tenement houses are located. While thereis no accumulations of filth therethe place isnct in as ciean a condition as it should be. Along the levee front from Chouteau avenue to Washington avenue, the nuisances are as numerous as the house num- bers. During the high water the river séeps through to the cellars, where, in many instances, it is allowed to remain stagnating through the hot weather follows A musty damp smell can be detected issuing from all these cellars. Licitween the streets above named there are twenty-six saloons, with each of which a lodging house isrun. There are a great many eat- ing houses and lodging houses run independently, and located over these wet cellars. The dampness has rendered the cellars unfit for use and in nearly every instance they are in need of disinfecting. THIRD DISTRICT. The Third Police District, bounded by Washington and Cass avenues and the river and western Stod- dard Addition, has a population of 125,000 souls. On making inquiries about the sanitary condition of that part of the city, a reporter was referred to Sergeant Reedy, who had charge of sanitary affairs under the old nuisance ordinance. “The district is much cleaner now,” said the sergeant than it was before the Scheme and Charter, when I had the sanitary business of this district in hand. The old books, which I had oecasion to look over recently, showed that from this district alone 11,000 and 12,000 nuis- ances were reported annually, and as high. as 449 abatedin one month in the Police Court. I can tell you the condition of the district. streets and alleys are cleaner in this district than we are credited with, but the nuisances and dangers are in the ee cellars, vaulta, etc., on private remises. There are more people living in the al- eys in this district than there are on the streets, Thirty or forty of these families have a yard and accommodations in common, while none of them take it as their duty to abate a nuisance caused by all. Tits is particularly the case in the most thickly settled portions. The school census, taken a few years ago, showed that betweean Eighth and Twelfth streets and Biddle street and Cass avenue, there were _—itiving between the ages of 6 Fears. The locality between Sixth and Twelfth and Wash and Cass avenue is always in need of the closest attention, and especially so in this season of the year, The nuisances and pest spots are the tene- ment houses, of which there are a great many lo- cated in this district. You can best discover the sani- tary condition by a walk through this portion of the city. Clabber alley and similar localities that suffer from a bad reputation will be found gurprisingly clean, You see each tenant scrubs and sweeps that portion of the alley near doors so that they can sit outat night. For this reason alleys in more reput- able portions of the Thira will be found ina _ dirtier condition than the ones generally supposed to be filthy. 1 will not say as much for the yards, cellars, ete., as I do for the alleys, however.” On inspection under the guidance of an officer, the report of the sergeant was found to be correct. The alleys are generally clean, and, in fact, much more so than the streets in that vicinity. The gutters along Seventh, Wash, Ninth and adjoining streets, could receive attention with benefit. On Franklin avenue, between Sixth and Seventh streets the Franklin tenement, in which agreat many families live, is located. A stron stench pervades the immediate locality. The build- ings were erected years ago and without the slight- est attention to’the requirements of health. “There are rooms in that ores said the officer, that never see a ray ofesunlight. This building is badly in need of atténtion. From other buildings in the same block a damp stench issued from the cel- lars and yards, leaving no doubt as to the unhealthy condition of the places. An idea of the work to be done by the Health department in this district alone can be gained from the fact thatat the sub-station located in the residence a of the city seven nuisances were reported for the twenty-four hours ending last night. Six of these were nuisances of the very worst character aud demanding immediate attention. FOURTH DISTRICT. That ion of the city included in the Fourth Police District extending from the river to Grand avenuc and from Cass avenue to Bellefontaine, being forthe most rt removed from the slums and over-crowded districts, is perhaps suffering as little, if not less, than any other part. There are. nevertheless,a number of nuisances that require in- stant abatement, and that not only render life a burden to residents, but endanger it toa great extent. It has undoubtedly the most monumental nuisance in the city. No one who has ever ridden out of the city on the Northern Branch of the Wa- bash, or who has had occasionto pass through the district called Lowell, near the river, can ever orget the indescrivable odor that accompanies him for a dozen blocks or so as an. intimate companion. It is wafted on every breeze that biows. It chngs lovingly and caressingly to his nostrils: penetrates with overpowering force and strength to the innermost recesses of his olfactories: takes upa habitation for some time after in his clothing and lingers jong in his memory to mingie in imagination wit euccessing scents and with his daily food. The ovigin of it is Meyer's bone factory, which has emit- ted horrible stenches fora long time past for the Henefil of the neighborhood. ome of the old reai- dents have become so babituated to it as to ard its odors as perfumes and in the ht of a neverfailing source of gratification. To the passer-by, bowever, and to the comparative new- comer, the stench is almost un le. after complaint has been made matter has been carried into court, but no abate- ment ofthe nuisance has been obtained, and the residents of the surrounding biocks have to suffer daily and ni ~_ torture without y tmpossible to the 4d i land tying above the river is in some places little better than & marsh, and frequently the lilding of embankments for manufactures and for tracks leaves in- railroad land low tracts of land which are similar to huge artificial .

Then fu along the line of Tweauty-sec pools which are con- potnta, are @ dozen more deep stantly filled with filthy and stagnant water.

McDonald had more to say, and that was the nr gen of abating the nuisances. The police, he said, really had the whole burden to bear. They not only poporees the condition ofalleys which were filled with filth and rubbish, but under the orders of previous Police had examined private premises where nuisances existed, and in case of increased activity he believed the police would have the work to do. On the difficulty of securing prompt removal of nuisances, he sa that frequently the same place would have to be re- ported a half dozen times or more before any at- tention would be given, and even then the nuisance would remain. Some of them never were removed. Either the Health Department was derelict or the law was not adequate to cover the cases, “It isa question whether the law will stand the test,” said he, “‘and besides, there is too much red tape about it. We report and report, and nothi isdone. I think the oid law before the Scheme an Charter, when each district had a sanitary officer, was the best, Then such matters were attended to at once.” Capt. McDonald was exercised that several things should be understood; one was that he had no com- piaint to make, and the other was that the district was &s clean asthe police could keep it. He was also very much exercised over the problem as to how any g was to be done, a question which seemed entirely beyond his intellectual grasp. That certain things, however, in the Fourth District need immediate attention of the municipal authorities in the way of c liness. is a matter not to be doubted. THE FIFTH DISTRICT, “Our district,“ said Sergeant James McDonough of the Fifth, “is exceptionally well off as to its sani- tary condition. We have very few tenement houses, very few factories, and no very densely populated region. Of course, we have vacant lot nuisances, like other parts of the town, where servant girls of the neighborhood will dodge out of a back gate,fling a pan of slop or garbage among the weeds and dodge in again before anybody can reach for them. The residents in some of the finely-built districts are not nearly so careful as they should be in this respect, and if the impor- tance of giving their servant girls instructions against making such a nuisance could be impressed upon them, we would have very little to complain of. But, after all, “& is not very bard to understand why this practice of throwing offal in the weeds instead of holding it for the slop contractor is indulged in, You see the slop contractor is notrequired to carry off anything except what is left out in the alley in some veasel. Well when people leave a bucketful of slop outside of their gates itfrequently happens that a dog, cow, hog or goat comes alongand upsets the stulf and scatters it around, mak- ing avery great nuisance for thetime being. If the bucket are kept inside the gate they are cot emptied by the slop contractor. To avoid this annoyance, there is a strong temptation torun down au alley for a half biock or so and throw the stuff on a vacant jot.” ‘‘What is the worst place in your district?” “There is a rendering establishment on the south side of the Manchester road near Grand avenue that is unquestionably a great nuisance, as the stench is horrible whenever it is in operation. The Vandeventer avenue region, which is being rapidly built up, is very badly sewered, and much of the drainage is surface. These, together with the great growth of weeds in nearly all parts of the district, constitute the only features needing at- tention. We report nuisances whenever we discover any, but our reports are very few in number,” COTE BRILLIANTS, The sanitary condition of the western suburbs of the city is far above the average. which is partly due to elevation of section of the city, bnt is mostly the result of the assiduous labors of Officers Ed. Phillips and Murphy in suppressing every nui- sanoe as g000 as it makes ite a er ggg oo The drain- system of Cote Brilliante, however, is in amost deplorable condition, and much sickness has resulted therefrom, Many of the cellars are filled with surface water the whole year, which flows in more rapidly than the residents of the houses can pump it out. The malarial vapors aris- ing from the cellars and inundated vaults have added considerably to the income of the peichboring phy- sicians, but while the city authorities neglect to perfect the drainage system of this locality nothing can be done to abate the nuisance. Officer Murphy reportsa ditch on New- stead avenue, extending north from Faston to Cote Brilliante avenue, as sadly in need of repair. The ditch is about six feet wide and four feet deep, with no possible outlet to the slops and water accumulatin in it except by evaporation. The sickening odor arisi the ditch pervades the whole neighborhood, render- ing life in its immediate vicinity almost unbearable, and offering the most flattering inducements to an epidemic. The Board of Health have been repeat- edly notified of the nulsance by those residing near it, but no steps have as yet been taken to abate it. A large etrip of low property on the south side of Page avenue, extending from Deer street to Marcus avenue, is at nt covered with stag nant water, over the surface of which floats the de composing carcasses of a variety of dead animals. The combination of the various odors arising from the decomposing carcasses, nant water, the strip plainly visible at noon, Officer Phillips made a tour of the various dairies in Cote Brilliante yesterday afternoon and reports them all, with one exception, as very clean. A dairy on North Market street, 9wned by aman named Klingner, has been the cause of much complaint among the neighbors, on account of its filthy condition, and, as Mr. Kling- ner bas, neglected to profit by the warnings of the officers, he will be prosecuted for maintain- ing a nuisance. The residents of Kennerly avenue ome of the stench emitted by a sewerin their neighborhood. The sewer is broken in several places, and us the offal of several slaughter houses passes through it, the odor arising through the openings is, to say the least, very disagreeable. A nat- ural creek running in the rear of the Natural Bridge Road is pronounced by the Many of the dairymen’s stab in that neighbor- hood are built directly over the creek, and by means of a hose the contents of the stables are washed into the creek. Many of the vacant lots in Cote Brill iante are orere wn with high weeds just nning to decay, which is not conducive to good th. G. H, Little has for some time past laboring under & vance which he committed to writin last evening and submitted to Officer Moore wi the requast thatit be presented to the Board of Health for immediate action. A flock of geese owned by one of Mr. Little's neighbors have con- tracted the habit of ng his premises and, ac- cording to the com nt, frequently cause nul- sance directly n front of his house. Mr. Little's sensitive organs have detected an obnoxious odor after the visits of the and requested police interference but as the officer was unable to detect the odor complained of no action was taken. The complaint was forwarded to the Board of Health and action will be probably taken at the next meeting. WHAT IT ALL MEANS. From the foregoing these facts stand out rominently: First, there is a very serious n or sanitary work in nearly all the Districts of this city; second, that a large the police department, and even done, the police department does dertake it; third, that the must be relied aon for this va service, and which has eaquenscene game tely to ruc an run y makes the vepropriation asked for.

APeculiar Class of Workmen Who Make Good Wages. —— Some ef the Secrets of a Business Which Has Sprung Up Very Lately—Window Decoration as a Fine Art—The Salaries Paid. _ | No branch of the mercantile business has grows to such in the past five years as the dressing of show windows. Before that time goods for display were thrown into the window recesses without any special regard for harmonious blending of colors, and it seemed to be the impression that the way to catch the public eye and call attention to the beauties of the goods was to make the arrange ed as rbleSuttsaty an a appeared Ss, wal nown Boston house, and out A, love = gloom; Santa Claus’ jolly re rella and Prince other unique and novel representatives showed that a field requiring peculiar originality and a fertile ims on was opening up in a business that formerly seemed altogether devoid of anything but the dryest details. COMPETITION SPREAD to other cities and soon young men in | numbers turned their attention to what — sed better Wages and wariety of labor, Within the past two months several stores in St. Louis bave con- store turned and clustered in a tangled false vines and MOSSes. The eff from across the street was warpriingty realistic and imagination would not have been startled had some veritable Lilliputians skipped across the frail fabric swaying backward and torward behind the giass. The spectacle was such a refreshing innova- tion in the monotonyweof the stale shows to which the eyes of shoppers had long been treated, "that it seemed hardly conceivable to some that the work had not been done after a long effort. It was, how- ever, the result of two days’ work on the part of the regular dresser, one of the mostpkillful in the West, who was seep by a Post-Dispatcu reporter as to his peculiar vocation. ‘Did you make a special study of this work before ou en er in it regularly?" 7 Well. can't say tbat (did, You see some years ago, while efigaged inasmalier store, 1 got to ex- perimenting in window wm and 1” 80 expert that our store used to be the attraction of the town. Then I moved to @4 city, took some time traveling East and noting some other features from the masters, you might say, and after that took the regular position of win- dow dresser.” ‘Then you don't claim to have stumbled upon it?" “Certainly not. It isn’t everybody that can be- come a dreaser any more than everybody can be a painter. One has to be born to it.: A dull, unpoetic soul will set and reset his pieces several times be- fore they give satisfaction, but with the properly qualified decorator one setting is sufficient.”’ “Are windows made in a different way for such purposes?” “Oh, yes. The change has been made quite ex- tensively in the East,and now they are built deeper. Where ours are only eight or ten feet deep theirs are over twenty. This gives A FINE CHANCE for arich, elaborate and complete display.” “Is that all you do?” “Well, | should think so, It takes me a day or a day and a-half to work up an ordinary design and, as we have four windows ranging ia size from thirty- six feet to fifteen feet, the lay-out of each of which must be changed once a week, I consider that 1 am kept busy enough to earn my salary. Besides, dur- iffg the summer it is like working in ‘a furnace to stand in the sunshine that pours through the panes and in winter the cold draughts of air make it equally unpleasant. The variety and change, how- ever, compensate somewhat for some of its ills..’ “What are the average salaries x “They range from $30 to $45 a week and some ex- perts receive $60. Wages have been ateadily going up the past year, as a number of incom nt young men have dropped out, convinced that it calls for a natural capability which can't be repiaced by deter- mination.’ “Do you outline or sketch your design before working it out?” I don't but I know those who do. It is not the best plan to do it, though, as it tends to limjt ones powers. Iinvariably let one combination or idea suggest another so that I never have the same style used twice. It is best to do the work by inspirations and then you know it’s fresh. I sh: over a week in to decxing out the company’s exhibit at the Exposition.

Inquest on the Body of Sir Watkin Williams, Judge. From the LAverpool Courier. An inguest was held at Nottingham on Satur- day on the body of the late Mr. Justice Watkin Williams, who died. suddenly on Thursday evening in that town, where he had been en- gaged holding the assizes. The medical evi- ence showed that death had resulted from rupture of the aorta, consequent upon over- excitement. Among the witnesses examined was Nellie Banks, a young woman 18 years of age, who stated that on Thursday evening the deceased accompanied her to a house of ill-fame and remained with her about a quarter of an hour. The deceased, who had his coat off, turned over on the pillow of the bed, madea noise and died immediately. A policeman was sentfor by the mistress of the house and the body of the deceased was removed. The jur returned a verdict in accordance with the med- ical evidence. Thespeech which the Coroner made on open- ing the inquest was as follows: ‘The cause of our coming together is one attended with very painful circumstances, especially to meas an old man, and I shal] have to take you into my confidence, and I must also ask you to take me into yours. There are circumstances connected with the death of Sir Watkin Williams which most of you have heard, I dare say—circum- stances of a most painful nature. It has been suggested to me by a very high legal authority that I ought not in this case to follow my com- mon practice, which has been to inquire the sare in the case of the highest as in the lowest person within my jurisdiction. I feel it just as much my duty to inguire into all the facts of this case asif the deceased was a chimney sweeper or a stocking maker. It has been sug- gested to me, however, by a very high author- ity that I ought to limit the inquiry very mate- rially indeed; that Llought to be satisfied to take evidence as to the identity of the body, and the evidence of Dr. Owen Taylor, who has made a post-mortem examination of the body, as to the cause of death, and that there I ought tostop and not put any further questions. That has not been my custom hitherto, and I would remind yeu that the oath that you have taken is that you shall make diligent inquiry when, where, how and by what means the per- son whose body you have to view came by his death. “The body lies here, but death did not take place here—death took place in a different part of the town. I shall go into the evidence so far as it has been suggested to me, and then I shall ask you whether you are satisfied with the in- quiry. You will find this evidence proves indis- mitably that Sir Charles Williams has died ror the rupture of a large blood-vessel closely connected with the heart. There is no doubt about that, and if our inquiry was limited, as has been suggested, that wW6uld be all that is necessary. but there are other parties—living parties—to whom justice must be done, It is no use blinking the matter, for it is well known that Sir Charles Williams died in a house of ill fame, and i think it isdue to the parties who kept that house, poor as they may be, low as they may be, that they should not be liable to be aspersed by any after charge that may be brought against them. The nature of the discase with which Sir Charles was troubled was of such. a_ kind that any creat excitement would be likely to produce death,” Piatn and braided Jerseys, 79 cents and $1 25, at Leubries’. OOO (ott i aa AN ANGEL UNAWARES, et A Poor Book-keeper Leaves His Em ployer a Millionaire. From the Pittsburg Timea. Truth is certainly stranger than fiction. The fact isthat the most extravagant dreams of the novelist are excited by the material for elaboration which events that have actually transpired furnish. The good fortune which has recently fell to the lot of George J. Keppler of Oi! City, illus- trates one of the curious turns which the erratic wheel of fortune is apt to make in the interest of those who are least disposed to look for it. The gentleman in question, atthe time when the fickle dame singled him out for the greatest surprise of his life, which was within the past two weeks, was clerking in a grocery store in Oil City at $40 a-month. He was born in the eastern part of the Statein 1820, and during his lifetime has been in comfortable if not in affluent circumstances two or three times. In 1855 Mr. Keppler was in the grain business in Center County. . MET A POOR IRISHMAN. One night while out taking a little relaxa- tionaftersa busy day, he met. while with a party of friends in a saloon, a jovil, but dilapi- dated looking Lrishman, who was asked to join the os in afriendly bowl, which invitation was readily accepted. The new acquaintance proved to so entertaining by his ready wit and flow of good humor that Mr. Kepp- Jer finally invited him to supper. The acqdain- taince thus formed proved so agreeable to the grain dealer that be, on learning the circum- stances of his new found friend offered him a position in his store as book-keeper. In this sition he proved a valuable acquisition to Mr. cms aed: and the bond of friendship between employer and employe beeame daily more steadfast. Suddenly the new book-keeper_ mysteriously <i withoutleaving any trace of his nation or any clue that would throw a light on his unlooked for departure. ©. circum- stance in the life of the late gr clerk at $40 a month occurred nearly thirty-five years ago.

Two weeks ago he received a letter from an attorney in Ireland that was calculated to very forcibly remind him of the man he met in the saloon while in the grain business in Center County, and back in 1855, The letter informed him that his former book-keeper had recently died, leaving an estate worth £2,000, - 000, one-half of which had been ueathed in is wi .

THE PRINCE OF BACCARAT. A Fast Young New Yorker Swimming in Wealth. New York Cor. Uttea Observer. Billy Deutsch has struck luck again. He is swimming in wealth in Paris, and is again famous as the ‘‘Prince of Baccarat.” Few men are better known among fast New Yorkers than Billy Deutsch. Heisa dsome man of about | 28 vears. About five years ago he was a clerk in a down-town dry goods store at $20 a week. His tendencies toward a fast life were strongly marked, and he achieved a small reputation as a poker-player even on his small income. One day his uncle died, leaving Billy Deutsch $6,000, It was not a great sum, but it was enough to satisfy the voung man for the time being. He left his position, went on a bender for a night or two, and then played roulette at Murray’s place, in Twenty-eighth street. He won enough to make his capital $10,000, when he started for Europe two days later. At that time of baccarat was just be- popular in New York. It was rom France. The game is the most popular of all the table es now, not excepting faro. Billy Deutsch had a theory about playing baccarat. He reduced it to a system and went direct to Paris. When he arrived he made a “plunge” with his whole $10,000 at the biggest gambling-house in Paris, was a winner to the extent of $80,000 broke the bank at 4 o’clock in the morning, and awoke the next morning to find all Paris talking about him. The papers dubbed him the “Prince of Baccarat.” the young American had such extraordinary luck that the gambling places in Paris refused to allow him to play at their tables after a time, and he returned at the ex- piration of two years to New York. Mean- while he had travelled all over Europe witha caravan of friends, parasites, and sycophants. When he returned to America he had changed wonderfully. He was arrogant, snobbish, dic- tatorial—and worth considerably more than half a million dollars. He went back to Parisa little less than two years ago, andin a month the news came over the water that Billy Deutsch had squandered all of his fortune at baccarat and was penniless. He struggled along in poverty until a month ago, when he “srtuck a winner” again. Deutsch is a desper- ate gambler, and if he wins atall he wins big. sums. In this case—I am told by a buyer fora big lace house in New York who had just re- turned from Paris, and who saw Deutsch’s strike—Deuutsch played his usual game. He had somehow or other got $100 together in one 500-frane note. He placed the note on the table and waited for the cards. He caughta natural, and left the whole sum—now 1,000 francs—on the table. It wonagain. He left it on once more and made another winning. Everybody watched him, and the banker asked if he intended to risk his whole fortune ain. Billy Deutsch nodded, and as luck would have it, he won again and found himself worth 8,000 francs, all won within ten minutes. One or two of his friends begged him to withdraw the ” ma jor part of his winnings, but the American said he would have 16,( francs or nothing. Fortune, which had scowled upon him so long, smiled again, and he left the game with his 16,000 francs. Then he began to play again, as of old, and it is said that he is again a wealthy man. CHARMED BY HER “HELLO.” A Troublesome Telephone’ Brings About a Pleasant Wedding. From the Chicago Newa. The telephone bell in the office of M. E. Page & Co. rang loud and long one afternoon about a year ago. The bill clerk was busy. He threw his book down with a slap, seized the receive and shouted: ‘‘Hello! Hello, there! Well, what do you want?’ ‘*Hello!” said a sweet voice at the other end of the wire. ‘This is the central; what do you want?” “What do I want?’ yelled the bill clerk. ‘What do you want? You called me.” ‘No, I didn’t,” said a sweet voice: “it’s a mistake, I guess. Good bye!” ‘“Umph!” muttered the bill clerk, as he hung up the receiver with a snap. ut the sweet ‘shello!” rang in his ears all the afternoon, and as he went home that evening he said to him- self: ‘‘I don’t believe I ever noticed that voice before: I must find out whose it is.” Early the following morning he rang up the central office. When he heard the sweet “hello!” he said: ‘Il want to get acquainted, central; my name is Fd—Kd H. Spratilen. What’s your name?” ‘‘My name is Carrie,” said the sweet voice— “Carrie Hugill.” “Tam hay py to meet you, Carrie,” said the bill clerk. “Say! how would it strike you togo to the theater with me to-night?” “Oh, I would like it ever so much,” said the sweet voice, ‘‘but I don’t know you.” “Tl fix that all right said the bill clerk reas- suringly. “I'll have an introduction before night, and don’t you forget it.” And the did. Their acquaintanceship soon made them warm friends, and, later, devoted lovers. Four months ago he asked her if she wouldn't like to become a bill clerk, and she said she didn’t care if she did; and so it was ar- ranged. Last night, ina pleasant suite of rooms at 2050 State street, a new household ‘found its way es | the ve homes of earth,” and Edward . Spratien and Carrie Huzgill were made man and wife. A small company of friends witnessed the nuptials, kissed the bride, and wished the young couple oo | life and hap- piness. The presents were viewed, the wedding cake was eaten, the toasts were said, the songs were sung, the chit-chat was indulged in, and Mr. and Mrs. Spratien were bid “Good-night and God bless you!” They leave to-day for Pueblo, N. M., where Mr. Spratien’s parents | reside. After a three weeks’ tour they will re- turn to Chicago. Yancey and Ben Hill. From the Macon (Ga.) Telegvaph. It is credited to Gen. Jackson that he said the bursting of the “Peacemaker” aboard the Princeton had knocked all the sense out of Tom Benton. Perhaps the Detroit Free Press man suffered the same fate. Discussing ante-bellum leaders, he says: “Yancey was born in the North but went South when a boy, and as he grew up was the most ultra of pro-slavery men. He opposed Cass bitterly in the convention of 15848, but did not in conventions after that. At Charleston, in 1860, he was kept entirely in the background by Gov. Winston, with whom he had foughtaduel. Winston's influence threw Yancey out of politics for a time. He finally met his death in the Confederate Congress in a fracas with Ben Hill, as has always been under- stood. Hill was a strong man,notat all extreme in his views—conservative as became the Sena- tor of the t State of Georgia, the Empire State of South. Yancey quarreled with him one night in executive session, and in his threw an inkstand at Lill, which, if it struck him, would have done the work of a bullet. Hill closed in with his t caught him, and, in self<lefense, threw over a desk. Someey struck foully, was in- ’ did not survive.” Heer deny ay t the unfortunate MISSOURI CROPS. The July Report of the State Board of Agriculture. Orvice oy Missour! Starz Boagp oF AGRICULTURE, Cotumais, Mo., August 5.—The returns of corres- pondents to this office for August i represent a most unfavorable month for harvesting hay and thresh- ing grain except in some counties south of the Mis- souri river, that complain of dry weather. A small fraction of wheat had been threshed or stacked Aug- ust 1 and was suffering in quality and sprouting. Fair weather has since set in and the damage, ¢x- tensively reported, will be found exaggerated. Wheat is estimated at 14.04 bushels per acre which is 234 bushels more than the average for the past ten years. This gives 82,780,114 bushels as the probable yield for the State. Threshing returns may modify this estimate, but will not decrease it, unless, through ruined wheat. The quality is about an average, 120 reporting qual- ity ayerage, 30 above average and 31 below average. The present condition of corn is 100 and still improv- ing. Average yield of oats per acre 31 bushels, be- ing above an average crop. Hay isa grand crop, estimated at134 tons per acre. Fruit, or appies mainly, is 72 percent of afullcrop. Potatoes 100, and pastures 108 seldom being surpassed for July. Live stock are thriving finely and free from disease, save a few reports of hog cholera. The season is reported remarkably free from insects injurious to vegetation, the rain restraining threatening chintz bugs. Twenty percent. of plow lands are represented as in meadows which is much more thal reported in census of 1880, due in part to a wise change in the views of our farmers, who are coming to see that more grass and stock and less wheat and corn sales are for their interest. Fifty-one re- port the Fultz the earliest variety of wheat to ripen, fifty-nine name May wheats, namely: May, Early May, Little May, Red May, White May and Big May, while a multitude of other wheats have from one to five friends. Fultz was named by 71 as the best variety; 26 favored the Mediterranean; 8 the May, while Clawson, Walker, Gypsy, Red Sea, Ger- man Amber, Blue Stem, Canada, Dresden, White. Swamp, Turkey, Sea Island and Tappahannock had one tofour friends each. As the best variety 57 favored the Fultz; 21 the Mediterranean; 10 the May: 5 the Walker; 5 the Tappahannock and seven the Red Sea. Fultzis particularly favored for upland flelds. Fultz seems to be the favorite wheat of Missouri farmers. I may add that of, perhaps 150 varieties tried atthe College, Fultz has, for all qualities maintained first place. In our live stock and crop interest this one of the most abundant. perhaps in all respects the most bounteous year in the history of the State. Reply to questions shows that in addition to timo thy, red top and redclover, orchard grass, millet and Hungarian grass are being grown in increasing amounts. More attention, especially mixed grasses for our pastures, shou!d be given. It is pore to add that these reports are made Officially from returns of correspondents in all our counties and impartially on the facts presented. The data are retained in this office and are open to in- spection at all times to any one. Respectfully . W. SANBORN, sec’y. Finest Goods and Lowest Prices.

They grow them there just like they do cotton. You can find them in almost every household. If they are produced in any other part of the world it has not yet become known to the enterprising show managers of the country. Anyhow, the Georgia electric girls are a success, so far as they have been tested in_ this city. A Post-Dispatcu reporter by invitation of the man- agers of Miss Mattie Lee Price, who is down on the bills as a girl of fourteen summers, but who looks at least 16 years old, witnessed a performance of that young lady's remarkable powers at the Hotel Glen- more last night. By simply laying her hands on a chair held by two strong men she had no difficulty in taking the chair from them. Three heavy men put their combined weight on a chair and Miss Price, touching the back with the paims of her hands, raised the combined weight of the party. This test was performed several times, and in each instance the girl was successful. Several! feats quite as difficult were performed daring the evening, and Miss Price's visitors, prohably twenty-five in number, went away comand puzzled, and at a loss to know how the little lady perferms the wonderful feats. Miss Price is frailly built, - weigh- ing not much over a hundred pounds, and from the way she tossed the big men around in that parlor last night one would think she woula grow weary, but she didn’t. She underwent no physical exertion whatever. Miss Price, the Georgia wonder, or the electric was born in Barton irl, County, Georgie. in an adjoining parish 1 to the birthplace of Miss Lulu Hurst, who was the first of these phenomena to make her appearance in public. She is one of a family of four children, all the rest being now dead. About Christmas of last year, Miss Price, while at school oy ring with other children, first discovered that she a eam derful control over her playmates, when one day they were trying to wrench a little stick from ber. She made her first public appearance inthe Janu- ary following. Those who fail to see her atthe People’s Theater on Saturday, Sunday and Monday nights will miss a great treat.

The preparations for the production of “The Lit- tle Duke” at the Cave are very elaborate and the op- portunities for costuming will be richly availed of. In the meantime ‘Three Black Cloaks” is meeting with very decided success, and the audiences are of the best of the season, notwithstanding the cool evenings. There is scarcely an inch of room at the Casino which is not occupied by a mechanic or artisan, and Manager McManus says the new establishment will surely be ready for business to-morrow evening. At the Peopie’s Theater to-morrow evening, Miss Mattie Lee Price, the electric girl, raised and bred in the original electric district in Georgia, and she does a number of wonderfui and marvelous things, pecu- liar accomplishments of the young ladies of that region, and ata private seance last evening, repor- ters and professional men were shot out of chairs; three medium-sized men were iifted in a chair with but littl apparent effort, and two others were unable to hold a chair down against the mysterious power or force. Whatever this may be the lady is a wonder, and her demon- strations at the People’s to-morrow, Sunday and Monday evenings will furnish ample, not to say novel, food for the curious. A cablegram announces the death of Miss Jessie Vokes, one of the members of that ‘merry and tal- ented little aggregation of artists known as the “Vokes Family,” which has afforded untold amusement to theater-goers on both sides of the Atlantic, and which con- sisted originally of Victoria, Jessie, Rosina Fred and Fairdon Vokes. Rosina was married sev- eral years ago and retired, and although Miss ee Sansom proved an agreeable substitute the place o the fascinating romp and hoyden was never filled. It was reported some time since that Rosina would return to the stage this season. Miss Jessie was the oldest of the sisters, a very graceful, handsome and talented actress, and she did the genteel comedy in the extravaganzas presented, and was scarcely jess a favorite than Rosina. She ap- peared here at the close of last season with the company, appearing as Lady Pilato in “The Diamond,’ with Victoria as Margery aud Fr as Cousin Joc-—Buckstone’s great comedy part; also appearing in “Belles of the Kitchen,” “Fun ina Fog,” and ‘The Right Man in the Wrong Place,’ in her usua! characters. Her loss wil] be a serious one to the company. ——_—— Wedding and Visiting Cards. Mermod & Jaccard Jewelry Co., 4th and Locust. A re Humane Society's Weekly Report.

WASHINGTON, August 8.—Acting upon information that a cargo of rags had recently been passed by the State quarantine officers into the port of New York, the Secretary of the Treasury instructed the Collector of Customs at that port te allow no rags to be imported unless positive proof was produced that they came from non-infected ports and are in them- selves entirely free from infection. The fact that the vessel had aciean bill of health and has been given a permit to pass by the local quaran- tine officer is not to be considered conclusive proof of the non-infected condition of her cargo. hese instructions are based on a clause in the sundry civil bill authorizing the President to spend a sum not ex- ceeding $100,000 to maeintais” quarantine a aid the ital Servie has advised that the importation of rags totally prohibited for the present at least, cause,as he says, they are companions of filth and disease, no matter from whatquarter of the world they come, and so are always iiable to. coavey dis- ease.

Another Great Sculling Match on the Tapis. i —_— The Base-Ball Arena—The Browns Lose a Hard Game Yesterday—The Unions Victorious—Other Games Yester- day— Diamond Chips—Sport- ing Notes and Sundries. While Jake Gaudaur is engaged in bringing Con- ley to some sort of terms, he will not, in event of his not being able to do so, succeed in making any match with Ross or Teemer for the present, as these gentlemen have another affair of their own on hand. The Boston Herald of Tuesday gives the following full particulars of the new match, and these will be found of great interest: “Another race between Wallace Ross and John Teemer is on the tapis. James Pilkington, backer of Ross, authorized M. T. Downing of this city to close a match for Ross, the distance to be five miles with a turn, and the stakes to be $1,000 a side. As the Fall River boat was leav- ing pier 28, New York, Sunday night, Mr. Downing mentioned the matter to Mr. Saulson, Teemer's backer, and the result was a meeting in this city yesterday between Eph Morris, representing Teem- , representing Ross. One hun- dred dollars a side been deposited, and on top of it Mr. Downing had made a bet at odds of 100 to 5 that the natch would go on. Mr. Pilkington tele- graphed yesterday authorizing Mr. Dawning to go on with the match, and the preliminary articles The race is to be five miles with one or three turns as agreed upon, and to take place within six weeks in his race with Ross at Oak Point last Saturday. Independent of the referee, there was no official New York newspapers was what one of the repor- ters on the press boat made it.

The turnstile count at Sportsman's Park yester- day showed over 4,300 admissions, and these, with the usual ‘office’ admissions, must have footed up close upon 5,000. Of these a larger proportion were ladies than has been seen at any game this season. The affair was the sixth of the series between St. Louis and Cincinnati,and proved to be one of the most exciting ever played in this city, the fight being desperate and uncertain from the beginning to the close of the ninth inning. The home club had vic- tory in its hands half a dozen times, but managed by some means or other to let it slip, and it did look as though fate was against them. First and foremost, Mr. Quinn gave some exceedingiy damaging decisions against the home ciub. In the seventh inning Corkhill, who had made a hit, tried to steal second and was easily put out by Deasiey and Quest. He was decid “safe,” and two runs were the result of the error. In the last inning, with two men out and Foutz at second, Billy Gleason was atthe bat with a fair show of bringing his man home, when, while endeavoring to get out of the way of a wild pitched ball, the sphere struck his bat and went towards Reil- ly. Gleason did not attempt to run but he was decided “out,” and the decision was simply outrageous, and created a great deal of ex- citement. Indeed, all through the game he gave the home club the most of it. making Foutz “split the plate” in his pitching, while Mountjoy was given a great deal of latitude, and the batsmen kept close down to work on his cross fire. Fault-finding with umpires is very much to be deprecated, but Mr, Quinn certainly cost St. Louis a victory yesterday. Nor were the players blameless. There was some ridiculous carelessness exhibited in running bases, in one instance running Foutz off sec- ond base, his sacrifice following; while Deasley was very foolishly nipped at third while Foutz was run- ning to second; Powers tricking him by a motion as if to throw to second. Nicol was also caught at first and run out in a most wanton manner. As for field- ing errors Comisky missed a throw at first from Latham which would have the result. made a very bad miss which would have ey Cincinnati from the ead §6if the chance had accepted —a force hit to Latham who cut off Carpenter. It was seemingly fatality all through the game, for John Reilly made a “home run” in the sixth which with had it went a little higher would have been nN two base hit. The ball struck the top of the inner fence bounced easily to the seats and then slid over the fence Nicol looking at it. A word as to Foutz: his work was magnificent; in the box, he gave one of the grandest exhibitions of : seen here and his perfect, making lliant stops and always exhibiting the kind of judgment in sending the balls in direction. At the too, he led all base hit resultin ina tied score, have told in tne score but for the imprudence of Quest and Deasley on bases and the wretched decision by which Quinn brought a summary stop to the game.

A good audience gathered at Union Park yester- witness the game between the Cincinnati ple out at first and Harbri followed with a fly left center, which Boyle dropped. Sylvester fol- lowed Hawes, Harb ing to second and then to third on a and coming on a safe hit to left by Crane. The latter stole second and third and reached home on a ball. The home team were blanked in the first but scored in the second inning. Sweeney going to his base on balls, reaching third on Boyle's safe hit to rignt, got home on Quin's right fly to Harbndge. The home team caught the lead in the sixth inning Dunlap, Shaefer and Gleason doing the hitting, while an error of Crotty’s helped to the result. In the seventh they got two more runs, Breunan going to first on a hit and com home on Dunlap'’s two r. Dunlap stole to third and came home ona pane ball; while running in he collided with Brad- ey his knee striking that pitcher's right arm 60 heavily that it was very y sprained, the pros pect being that he will not be found in the box for several weeks tocome. Sylvester took Bradley's pease.

The last inning was a very short one, Sweeney pitching only three balls,two of the batters going out on flies and the third on a hot grounder. Sweeney's pitching was much admired, but he failed to produce phenomenal results, seven base hits being scored against him, while the home team only made eight. Seward was umpire and acquitted himself to the satisfaction of the spectators. The game lasted 1 hour and 35 minutes. St. Louis Browns vs. Cincinnati. To-morrow afternoon the St. Louis Browns and the Cincinnati Club will play their last game here this season, and the bare announcement should be sufficient to crowd the Sportsman's Park. These clubs are playing the most even and remarkable ball of any in the Association, and several of the games have required more than the ordinary uum- ber of innings to effect a completion. At the pres- ent writing the clubs have each won three games, and after to-day's contest—which ever way it may go, there will be a struggle totie or else to add the leadj obtained in to-day’s affair. It is “gy pom! probabie that Foutz will again pitch for St. Louis, but due announcement of the fact will be given in the morning. A Challenge. Manager Bancroft, pleased at his success in his League championship series of games with the New York Club, issues the following challenge to the Metropolitan Club: Having heard that James Mutrie, the manager of the Metropolitan Association Club, has boasted that the ‘“‘Mets” are capable of winning two out of three games with any League club, I hereby make him an offer. The Providence Club will play the Metropol- itan Club a series of three games,on dates to be agreed on, but after the termination of the cham- pionship season, each club to play the same teain as that which represented it during the championship season, each club to put up $1,000 for a stake of $2,000, the club winning two out of the three games to take the entire amount of the stakes and al! the gate-receipts for the three games, the stakes to be posted with the editor of the New York Clipper, at the office of which paper further details may be ar- ranged. Yours truly, F. C. BANCROFT, Manager Providence Base-ball Club. Manager Mutrie has made this proposition: If the Providence Club will play the Metson the Polo Grounds August 15,1 will accommodate him with a series of games after the season closes, pro- vided both the Providence and Metropolitan Clubs tae the championship “of their respective associa- 1OnSs, With reference to the alleged boast that his club could win three out of four games, Mr. Mutrie says he claimed four wins out of six. On Tuesday last I informed Manager Bancroft that I could secure the Polo Grounds for a game between the Providence and Metropolitan clubs on the 15th of August, that being the only date during the championship season upon which both clubs have open dates. Mr. Bancroft rer refused to entertain my proposition, after which I said the Mets could win four games out of six from his club. Shelbyville Driving Park.

Manager Schmely.of Columbus, says that he bas not yet seen any of those challenges which were to have been issued to Tom Brown.for a 100 yards dash, or to first base or a-circle of the bases. It is asserted that Welch of the Indianapolis, is the only player who stole second base on Carroll of the Columbus, in twenty-one games. “Foutz is a stayer.”’ said an admirer of the lengthy twirler, ““you ought to see him pitch in the eighteenth or nineteenth mmning.” ' At Oak Point, July 29, a match way played be- teen two teams respectively composed of reporters and professional oarsmen. Wallace Ross pitched for the oarsmen, and John Teemer caught. Koss was batted all over the field, and Bonham, Plaisted, Gaisel, Ten Eyck and other scullers hunted leather with a vim, the scribblers winning by the following score: Oarsmen 0 0 8 Od The St. Louis Union and Cincinnati Union game of Sunday next was scheduled for St. Louis, but by re- quest it was changed to Cincinnati. It is said by one of those addicted to the some- times unproductive art of base-ball arithmetic that more base-hits bave this season been made off McCormick than off any other pitcher in the Na- tional League. The Clipper says with much truth: “The rule of of the American Association which allows the games of a substitute club following a disbanded club to count for one and not for the other is a bad one, the incoming club have nothing to urge them on except a share of the gate money, while they have every temptation to play into the leading clubs hands inthe pennant race. Either the substitute club’s games should count for both sides, or the games of the disbanded club should be thrown out altogether. The latter course is, in fact, the better. Burnie has secured Brown, pitcher of the dishand- ed Fort Waynes, and is improving his force where improvement was needed. So far this season the Philadelphia Club has had thirty-five players under contract. Of these eleven were catchers and ten ce Eighteen players have been released, and the remaining seventeen are still carried Upon the pay-roll.

BOY BURGLARS. ‘Two Well-Known Olive Street Establish- ments Entered and Robbed Last Night. Three enterprising lads effected a couple of neat and successful burglaries last night on Olive street, the victims being Wm. Abson, who keeps a chop- house at No. 718,and Joha G. Furber, who runsa saloon and billiard-room at 726,on the northeast corner of Olive and Eighth streets. The robberies must have been effected after 1 o'clock in the morn- ing, as Furber’s place was not closed until that hour. At this place a haul of $110 was made, the burglars opening the money drawers and removing their contents. The manner in which they gained an entrance to the build- the cool way they went to work after they got in, rather indicates that the burglars were not green hands. Furber's place wag attacked from the entrance to the billlard room on Eighth street, where the climbed an iron pillar on the outside of the balding and pushed open the transom, leaving a piece of iath sustaining it at an angle, which allowed them easy access to the place. When inside they made direct for the money drawers, which they pried open with some strong bar. Having secured their booty, they went bac of the ice-box, got a step-ladder, and with its aid reached the transom and passed again into the street. At Abson’s they contented themselves with removing from the show window half a dozen bottles of claret through a hole which they clipped in the corner of the pane. Itis evident that they clipped the pane away iece by piece until the hole was big enough to allow the sage of an arm, an operation which could not have consumed less than half an hour's time. A gentleman employed in a coal-office close by saw the three boys loafing around at about 10:30 >. m., and chased them away, but they had evident- y decided that claret was about the proper tipple for that hour of the evening, and that they would callagain. The question of where the police a themselves while all this was going on was warmily discussed by Mr. Abson and Police Sergeant Palmer, the former holding that the protectors of the peace were always absent while wanted, while the latter insisted that they were not. Mr. Abson’s warmth and the simplicity of his eloquence while denouncing po- lice methods, is explained by the fact that this is the third time his place has been entered by burg- lars within nine months, the occasion previous to the pos nt one costing him the loss of several hun- dred dollars worth of silver plate.
