By Telegraph to the Post-Dispatch. Naw York, August 12.—The Times to-day has the following written documents now in the hands of the Navy Department at Washington add to the record of miserable human suffering already published in connection with the finding of the Greely relief ex- pedition, There are the most shocking stories of in- humanity and cannibalism. All the facts have been in the possession of Secretary Chandler for nearly three weeks, but so closely have they been guarded, and so strictly have the naval officers and sailors maintained the silence imposed upon them that not even an inkling of THE TRUE AND HORRIBLE CONDITION OF AFFAIRS has yet reached the pubiic ear. For the sake of humanity and the American people the army authorities are endeavoring to keep the matter hushed, but in the official investigation which is almost sure to come, the facts in all will undoubtedly come out. Every effort will presumably be taken to prevent it, but the truth must be known intime. It will be re- membered that in Commander Schley's first dispatch to Seeretary Chandler announcing the finding of the Greely patty, he said: “I would urgently suggest that the be@dies now on board be placed in metallic fr safer and better trans- in West Point the dispatch was answered by Rear Admiral Nichols, acting secretary of the navy. He said: “Use your own discretion about care and transportation of bodies.” Secretary Chandler afterward telegraphed: “Prepare them according to yqur judgment and bring them home.” IT TOOK SOME DAYS to preparethe iron caskets which were all bolted and riveted.’ It was remarked at the time by expe- rienaed officers that this would hardly have been necessary for the preservation of the frozen bodies. Thé@y could safely have been brought on , without any delay in wooden coffims. The design was obviously to prevent all pos- sibility of friends of the dead sailors being given an opportunity to look at their remains for the purpose of identification or otherwise. Even the sailors on the relief ships, with the exception of afew men who assisted in removing the bodies, were not allowed to see them. THE LIPS OF THE OFFICERS WERE SEALED. When Commander Schley met Secretary Chandler and General Hazen at Portsmouth, August 2, on the arrival of the ships from St. Johns. he was very much agitated and called the gentlemen into the cabin of the vessel. Undoubtedly he then com- municated to them the facts which have since became an open secret. The sufferings and priva- tions of the menin their canvas hut, during the long bitter winter of 1883, have not half been told. It nas been published that after the game. gave out early in February they lived principally on seal skins, lichens and shrimps. As a matter-of-fact THEY WERE KEPT ALIVE ON HUMAN FLESH. When the rescuing party discovered the half-starv- ed survivors their first duty was to look to the two men who were insensible from cold and privation, even to the point of death. One of them, a German, was wild indelirium. “Oh!” he shrieked, as the sailors took hold of him to lift him tenderly, “Don't let them shoot me as they did poor Henry. Must I be killed and eaten as Henry was. Doh’ let them do it. Don’t! Don’t!” The sailors were horrified, but at once reported the man's words to Commander Schley. After a brief investigation he felt satisfied that the poor fellow was speaking the truth and that’ some of the men who perished HAD BEEN STRIPPED OF THEIR FLESH to keep their surviving comrades alive. Mr. Schley proposed to make thorough work of it. When the horrible reality was brought out before an investigating committee he did not propose to have it rest solely on his oral testimony. now in the hands of the Navy Department. ‘ LIEUT. GREELY quiries Commander Schley discovered that many of the seventeen men who are said to have per. ished from starvation Cases. OPO Bie SOS, mame a. ger Henry saw an opportunity to steal a little more than his share of rations and he made the attempt. He was found out and shot for his crime. In the published official report the death of this man is set down as having occurred in June 6. When the body was found his hands and face though shrunken were intact and recognizable, but everywhere else the skin had been stripped from him and the fiesh picked from the bones. Even HIS HEART AND LUNGS WERE EATEN BY HIS COM- RADES. One rib was found shattered by a bullet ball and to another small fragments of !ead were attached. A bullet-hole was found in theskin. The ®ody was Cypress Hills Cemetery last Saturday. The letter his friend Mr. Robert 8S. Oberfelder of Sidney, Neb., is daily looking for, will probably never come to light. Whether the four. bodies which were swept out tosea and never recovered would have added further evidence to this story of HORRIBLE CANNIBALISM cannot be learned now, though the papers in the possession of the Navy Department give all the par- ticulars as told by the survivors. At first they were loath to talk of the horrible experience they had passed through, but after promises of absolute secrecy their evidence was all taken in writing. Lieutenant Greely said that he wished the men had been rescued by the army instead of the navy. Of course it was impossible to keep the actual state of affairs from the crew, but absolute silence was imposed upon them. The officers were not allowed to talk of what had occurredin their presence. One man who openly spoke in the mess- room about the inhumanity of using FRAGMENTS OF HUMAN FLESH AS BAIT FOR SHRIMP was severely reprimanded. Not a word of the facts was given to anybody until Commander Schley made his report to Secretary Chandler. A Times reporter questioned a few of the officers on the three relief ships as they made fast to their moorings at the Navy Yard last evening. Some of them asserted flatly that the bodies of the dead sailors were not at all mutilated when they were found and scouted all idea of cannibalism. Others admitted that the bodies were shocking to look upop, but attributed it tothe storm and the ice. The eating story they believed to be a sailor's yarn. The remains of the men were wrapped in clothes as soon as possible after they were dug up and some of the party did not see them at all. COMMANDER SCHLEY declined to have anything to say about the state of the bodies any more than he gave to the public in his first official dispatch. “Did you see Henry's body?” he was asked? “T did not.” “Of what did he die?” “Starvation or scurvy, I believe, the same as the others.” “Do you know whether he was shot?" “Iam not prepared to answer that question,” said the commander hurriedly, ‘“‘and furthermore I positively de@line to be interviewed. When an offi- cial inquiry is made invwo the details of the trip I shall say what I have to say if anything, and not. before.” Witbout another wordthe commander hurried below THE MEMBERS OF THE CREW were a little more communicative, but conflicting in their statements. Enough wassaid, however, to confirm some of the ugly stories afloat. At leasta dozen of the men admitted that Henry was shot for stealing food, andone man gavethe name of the survivor, who was compelled to shoothim. This, however, could not be verified. All but a few of the sailors on the Bear had forfeited. their liberty, and were not allowed to go ashore. Sonie of them com- . “pilained of the treatment shown them on the voyage home. The vessels were not expected to arrive at the |. Navy Yard yesterday, but 500 people and a brass band were on the wharves to welcome them home with waving handkerchiefs and familiar tunes. The ships attracted a great deal of attention as they slowly steamed up the East River. Asthe hawsers were made fast tothe pier the crews all climbed aloft and gave THREE RINGING CHEERS FOR HOME. Commander Schley and Chief Engineer Melville were on board the Thetis. TERRIBLE FIGHT. Masked Men Attack Mormon Elders and Converts in Tennessee. By Telegraph to the Post-Dispatch, NASHVILLE, August 12.—News was received here to-day of a terrible fight in Lewis County yesterday berween a body of masked men and Mormons. For some time Mormon elders have been proselyting in Lewis and Hickman counties with much success. The people expressed great indignation. Yester- day a Mormon meeting was in progress at the house ofa man named Condor at East Fork, Cane Creek, Lewis County. Several Mormons were pres- ent, including three elders. While the meeting was in progress TEN OR TWELVE MASKED MEN rode up and demanded the surrender of Conder's son and a young man named Hudson. This was refused and the Mormons began to show resistance. One of the masked men walked in and knocked young Conder down with his gun, breaking his skull. Hudson then fired and fatally wounded one of the masked men, who proved to be David Henson, a well-known farmer of Hickman County. The masked men then opened A GENERAL FIRE ON THE CROWD. Two of the elders were killed outright. One of the women ran behind Conder'’s wife and a shot struck the woman, breaking her leg. The third elder, whose name was Gibbs, fled to the woods, pursued by some of the masked men. Shots was subsequently was seen on the road some distance from the scene,and it is supposed that he escaped. It was also learned that the masked men in going to the meeting at Conder's house, stopped at a house near by where there lived aman named Garrett.a Mormon convert. Here they found another Mormon elder who was taken to the woods and left in charge of the other masked men. Soon after firing was heard and there is very little doubt that HE WAS KILLED. The men were armed with double barrelled shot- POLITICAL POTPOURRI. Blaine Alleged to Have Offered But- ler a Cabinet Position.

Rethwell of Randolph Tem- porary Chairman. - — — Gov. Crittenden’s Administration [n- dorsed by the State Central Committee. - — Temporary Organization and Ap- pointment of Committees. - — — Contest Over the Eighth District —Recess Until 3 P. M.—The Presidential Electors and State Committe emen—The Proceedings To-Day. By Telegraph to the Post-Diepatch. Jerrerson City, August 12.—When the State Central Committee agreed yesterday afternoon to make Rothwell, of Randolph, temporary chairman, it but carried outa purpose which was formed by the O'Day members some timeago. Rothwellis a latter-day Marmaduke man, with predilections for O’ Day's candidates for all the rest of the ticket. When the committee adopted a resolution instruct- ing delegates from the several Congressional Dis- tricts to meet this morning and elect first a member of the State Central Committee, next an elector-at- large, and then members of the various convention committees, it purposely changed the order of elec- tion which has prevailed from time immemorial. It has always been the custom to elect the conven- tion committees first, and the members of the Central Committee and elector afterwards. Of course there was some purposein this change of order, and the Marmaduke men were immediately on the alert to discover what it meant. They reached the conclusion that the scheme was intended to af- fect chiefly those districts where there are contesting delegations. For instance,in the Eighth District there are contests from the Twelfth and Fourth wards. The ring delegates hold the certificates of election. If the Congressional delegation were to act accord- ing tothis order of the State Central Committee these ring delegates would have a voice in determ- ining who should be the elector and who the new Central Committeeman from that district. If, on the other hand, the election of these two func- tionaries were deferred until after the convention determines who are entitled to Count the votes of the wards mentioned, the choice of Central Scene and elector would ably” be altogether different. Noonan was understood to want to be re-elected Central Committeemap, and Doc McGarry was also reported to be an aspirant. One of these would be tinless something were done to prevent it. Ros the Ninth District. Lancaster had clearly a 1ajotity of the votes, if the delegates holding cer- tificates from the Tenth Ward were allowed to vote. If, however, the election were. deferred until the contest could be determined, and if the contestants were seated, somebody else might be chosen. n- caster’s Only Khown opponent at present up to last night was Dr. Luts, who had been working hard for the position, and it was reported here that the little doctor had the active support of C. C. Maffett and the railroad influence Inthe Tenth District Jasper Rorks, who has all along been regarded as an O'Day man, had been working hard to be re-elected to the commuttee, but the Marmaduke men opposed him and determined to put Edgar of Iron County forward as their representative. After fully considering all these circumstances last night, THE MARMADUKE MEN determined not to submit to the Central Committee project, and accordingly word went out that, espe- cially in districts containing contested delegations. the order of the committee should be observed only in so far as itrelated tothe election of Convention Commiitteemen, the election of Central Committee- men, and elector to be deferred till after contests were decided and the genuine delegates seated. The feeling between ("Day and Marmaduke found very strong manifestation last evening when Mar- maduke announced openly that be did not desire to see Mr. O'Day either chairman or a member of the committee that was to handle his campaign. O'Day was informed of this, and he retorted that Gen. Marmaduk?® need have no fear as he would not accept the reaponsibility of chairmanship of «a com- mittee which would have to be responsible for the a of a ticket with Marmaduke at the head of t. prob- Judge THIS DELICACY ON MR.

The rule or ruin wlicy of the O'Day crowd is well illustrated by a ittle trick which was performed yesterday. Smart- ing under the failure of all their achemesto defeat ‘rmadke, they compiled from MeGrath’s almanac * Boulated statement of the vote of the last general “tion in close counties, and prepared an argu- Mént showing how by good generalship the Repub- lican-Greenback opposition war carry enough counties to give them a majority in the Legislature, thus eaddiing an immense responsibility upon = the Marmaduke ticket. This argument they bad printed in neat form upon 4 type-writer, and furnished it to such of the opposition press as was willing to print it to the detriment of the marty whose Central Com- mittee they controlled. is document will appear in print in some of the papers of the State to.day. The Eighth District Fight. By Telegraph to the Poat-Diapatch, Jerrenaox Crry, August 12.—The Eighth Con- gressional District delegation did not assemble till 9 o'clock, and ita meeting was astormy one. The contested Marmaduke delegations in the Fourth and Twelfth Wards declared that since a Central Committeeman and an Elector were to be elected they had aright to vote, and so both sets of dele- es wentinto the meeting. Frank Clement, a ffarmaduke man, was elected chairman after a wrangle, and then the meeting went inte an election for a member of the Credentials Committee. at and Fred Young were plAced tn nomi- ballot was taken, both of the contesting delegations voting, and vt received 17 votes to ah Sa oaks was u ruling 0 make as to the result, and aftera long and acrimonious a the meeting determined to go no further with ite work, but to refer the entire sub to the entials mittee of the Convention.

Jerrenson Crty, Mo., August 12.—At 10:45 the convention was called to order by O'Day. Prayer was said by the Rev. T. M. Cobb. The night trains brought at least 200 St. Louis politicians and dele- gates to the capitol and the flower of the flock was among them. Very few of them went to bed as the train arrived at 1:30 and cots were scarce. At day- light the entire city was astir and the Mansion House block was like a great convention, the attendance being larger than ever before in the memory of those present. THE FIRST BUSINESS OF THE MORNING was the holding of Congressional district meetings for the choice of central committeemen, electors and members of the convention committees. If such districts had contests, the point was raised by the Marmaduke men that the contests must be decided before the electors and committeemen could be chosen, and was insisted upon in some cases and relinquished in others. THE THIRTEENTH DISTRICT was the first to sit, and O'Day was returned to the Central Comniittee without opposition. The First eat next, and Dr. D. H. Shields of Hannibal was also returned, making two of the old triumvirate certain. IN THE NINTH DISTRICT the three candidates before the delegates were Lutz, Lancaster and Gilkinson, It soon became manifest that Gilkinson could not be elected ana the effect of his candidacy might be to elect Lutz who with his ineffable cheek had solicited the votes even of dele- tes who were elected on a pledge to oppose him. Marmaduke men regarded Lancaster as pre- ferable to Lutz and determined to make a virtue of necessity and elect the former. When the delega- tion met a proposition to defer the election until after the contests were decided was urged, but af- ter a considerable discussion it was withdrawn and Lancaster was elected without opposition. THE TENTH DISTRICT took much the same course. Immediately on the arrival of its county delegates last night arrange- ments were made for the defeat of Jasper Burks and the election of Edgar of Iron County in his stead. When the delegation met there was first a movement to defer election, but the St. Francois County delegation settled the question as to contest by announcing that they would waive all right to vote on the two election positions, This was 4 satis- factory solution and Edgar was elected. Among the large nuinber of ARRIVALS FROM 8T. LOUIS last nicht the entire McGrath element made a good showing. Your correspondent talking to one of that faction learned that the fight on the Secretary of State was to be pushed vigorously to the end. “You will see some fun,” said he, “we have brought along a man who is charged to the muzzle, and he is going in the convention on a proxy where he will make a speech that will raise the hair on the heads of the McGrath people. We propose to see to itthat McGrath isn’t nominated.” The friends of Morehead and Waters are very indignant about the report being circulated by Gates’ friends that he (Morehouse) was the instigator of the scheme where- by Waters of Andrew County became a candidate for Treasurer. They | mand deny itstruth. The people of Northwest Missouri say they don't want Gates for Treasurer, and they further affirm that they brought Waters into the field without the khowledge of Morehouse. Morehouse is making a manly canvass. He is antagonizing no one, neither are his friends. About 9:30 o'clock THE CENTRAL COMMITTEE MET and marched in a body to the State House, where Mr. O'Day led the way to the office 6f Governor Crittenden who returned last evening from the North and who was expecting the visit. The committee mustered around the Gov- ernor and shook hands with him, after which O'Day stepped in front of the semi-circle and delivered a brief address in which he stated that the Central Committee desired to say on its own behalf and on behalf of the Democracy of the State, that it fully endorsed his administration and all of his acta. He spoke in such a low voice that his remarks were only partially audible to spectators GOVERNOR CRITTENDEN RESPONDED substantially as follows: GenTLEMEN:—I thank you sincerely for this tri- bute. On myjown behalf I desire only to say that dur- ing the four years of my term I have done the best that I could under the circumstances. To-day, near the close of my administration, your State is in pro- found peace. The collection of your public reven- ue is to-day more closely made than ever before in the State's history, the average of collections be- ing about 8 per cent. The credit of your State stands higher than ever before. The bonds are higher on the market than ever before. There isa better fraternity and good will among her people than ever before. Ite commerce isin a more pros- perous state thanever before and the democratic party of the State is supreme (applause). With this record, gentlemen, I have no apologies to make. Again, | thank you and in closing I am proud tocon- a you on the prospect that we will elect jrover Cleveland our next a (applause. ) A brief sociable time followed and the Central Compngnes then proceeded up-stairs to the Conven- tion hall. THE REPRESENTATIVE HALL was well filled by ten o'clock it Was fifteen minutes eleven before Chairman O'Day raised the gav- el and called the convention to order and introduc: ing Rev. T. M. Cobb, who delivered a very eloquent prayer. Mr. O'Day then read the call for the con- vention, after which he delivered asort of farewell address. Hecongratulated the Democracy on the condition of party affairs in the State and referring to the fact that when the old committee took charge there were only eight Democratic Congressmen from the State of Missouri, while to-dav there is an un- broken line of fourteen. [applause] Referring to the reported effort to defeat the Democracy of Mo., by a coalition of all other parties he said that he had no fears whatever that it would succeed of that if the convention were to nominate a good representa- tive man he would failto poll the full vote of the Democracy of Missouri, whether he wore the blue or the gray twenty yearsago. [Cheers.| Asan Irish- man, born of the Emerald Isle, he felt qualified to ~ wer for his nationality and to denounce as false ail representations that there was any de- fection among thetn from the standard of which Gro- ver Cleveland is the worthy bearer, and he promised that on election day the Irish of America would be proud battling for the principles of Democracy, as they had always done. With a very neatly worded prophecy of Cleveland's success, which was up- roariously cheered, he introduced as temporary chairman Hon. G. F. Rothwell of Randolph, and made his bow. but fore MR. ROTHWELL delivered a very forcible address of thanks, in which the prospect of the Democratic party and the neces- sity forthe reform whichit hopes to accomplish were brilliantly discussed. This convention waa, he said, about to nominate gentlemen for important State offices, whose selection would not be made for the purpose of compliment or personal advan- tage, but for the purpose of securing the best inter- ests of the party. After a review of the electo fraud and the circumstances which led up to the nomination of the presidential candidates, he de- livered a brief eulogy on the outgoing State com- mittee and prophesied the largest maiority for the State ticket that was ever given the Democracy in Missouri. He then closed and Mr. O’Day read the balance of the list of officers, as follows: T. J. Lin- gie, of Henry County, secretary. with A. 8S, Caker, of Cape Girardeau, and J. K. Edwards, of Cole, as- siftants; sergeant-at-arms, Benton Koontz, of Han- nibal, andA. W. Ewing, Cole; R. H. Jones, Dunklin; Clem. Creveling, St. Louis; W. 8.

Wasninaton, August 12.—The horrible story pub- lished in the New York Times this morning that the survivors of the Greely party, crazed by starvation and cold, fed on the dead bodies of their comrades, and that written documents in possession of the Navy Department substantiate the terrible narrative created a great sensation here, and Admiral Nichols, Acting Secretary of the Navy, was shortly besieged by newspaper men anxious to ascertaif something official concerning the publication, 6 Admiral said positively there was nothing in the Navy De- partment confirming the story and he donbted its truth. Itis possible, however a repoft of this na- ture may have ne direct to ‘Secretary Chandler in ew Hampshire, as numerous documents are forwarded him without examination. Some persons express the opinion ny | that there is something in the story.and say it is beginning tobe known. The Greely party was not as harmonious as, has been generally Sappoess, and there is a story con- nected with the expedition which it was intended to conceal, but must now come out inthe same way the history of the Jeannette's unfortunate cruise came to the knowledge of the public. GREELY RELICS. ' The Acting Secretary of the Navy instructed the Commandant of the Navy Yard, New York, to re- ceive from Commander Schley the réliés of the Greely expedition received when the party was res- cued and turn them over to Lieutenant Buckingham, by whom they will be transferred to the Louisville xposition. e Times story was shown Gen.

It is very probable, thotgh do not say 80, officially the will be made the subject of Con investigation next winter. The story cohtains sofne inaccuracies. notably that in which reference is made to devotr- ing the amputated limbs of those who suffered the loss of jecs and arms in order to preserve their lives. Gen. Hazen was asked what truth there was in the staternent young Henry had been: shot and his body eaten. “That is a subject,” he replied, “upon which I must decline to be interviewed.” io ROWING REGATTA, The Watkin'’s Gien Sculling Heats To-Day and the Winters.

Lime is unquestionably a constituent of the impure and cheap cream of tartar of the market, such as Price uses in his baking powder. Prof. Kedzie, President of the Michigan State Agricultural College, recently analyzed 27 samples of this cream of tartar, as bought by Price, and found them all adulterated from 8 to 86 per cent, Price does not give the quantity of lime in his baking powder; Prof. Mott, the United States Government chemist, has, however, found init 6 per cent, while Prof. Habirshaw found about 12 per cent, or nearly one-eighth of the entire bulk of Price’s baking powder to consist of tartrate of lime. A manufacturer of baking powder who lacks the discern- ment, knowledge or honesty necessary to prevent an adulter- ation of his goods to the extent of one-eighth of their bulk will not be considered by the public as worthy of its confi- Further caution ‘‘not to take his word for it’’ is un- dence. necessary . The presence of this large and varying amount of lime and dirt in Price’s powder (now acknowledged by its manu- facturer) is the cause of its inferiority in strength to the Royal by 27 per cent, as determined by the Government chemist. This is also the reason why a much larger quantity of Price’s than of Royal is required to raise the same amount of flour.' This large amount of dirt and lime left in the loaf also ac- counts for the salt, bitter and soapy taste found in biscuits or cake when Price's baking powder is used, But lime taken into the system in such quantities as this is injurious. It cannot be decomposed by heat, and is not dissolved in mixing or baking? The whole of this enormous amount as found in Price’s baking powder passes with the food into the stomach. Its physiological effeets upon the system are indigestion, dyspepsia, or worse evils. Lime is a caustic so powerful that it is used by tanners to eat hair from hides of animals, and in dissecting-rooms to rot the flesh from the bones of dead subjects. The presence of this adulterant in Price’s powder (now confessed by him) re- sults from the use of impure, cheap cream of tartar. The Royal Baking Powder is Absolutely Pure, That the consumers of baking powder may fully under- stand the falsity of Price’s statement that lime is present in all cream of tartar---made to shield himself from the exposure of the adulterations in which he has been detected---and the fact that Royal Baking Powder is composed of absolutely pure cream of tartar, in which no lime exists (although pro- duced at greatly increased cost), the following report of Prof. McMurtrie, late Chief Chemist of the Department of Agriculture, United States Government, made after a thor- ough test of the cream of tartar of commerce, is given, The position in which this report establishes Royal as absolutely pure and wholesome is unattainable by any other baking powder in the world: I have examined the cream of tartar manufactured by the New York Tartar Company and used by the Royal Bak- ing Powder Company in the manufacture of their baking powder, and find it to be perfectly pure, and FREE FROM LIME IN ANY FORM.

FORENOON SESSION. CLOSING AT 1 P. & Wheat.—There was still nothing to brag. from a bear's point of view, but prices were ht dangerous to to figures that it was thought and the local crowd was not disposed to Cables wert as discouraging as ever, both English and French markets being reported dull and easier. Receipts were again , especi fora Tuesday in the home market, and Chi ‘s were over 500 cars. The weather could nothave been better had it been made toorder. The Eastern with all these discou down in prices here, or at least it did not get yesterday's. Trading was slacker, as there was not many sellers and the demand was small. The trade seemed to be waiting for something to turn up be- fore they would take one side or the other. After the noon there came a spurt of strength and wices advanced under vigorous ing, led by oses Fraley. The other markets were proving then, Chicago showin most stren the increase in their report of the visible not ving pected, and shorts to closing at 1% and st up to noon ° to 8% and afterwards up to 8 1-2, but closed off at §2 1-8: Oetober opened at 83 1-4; sold off to 8 1- 83 1-4; improved to 835-8: fell back to 8 14@8335; advanced to 84 and closed off at 8385-8; November sold = at & 748 to 8 38; closing with latter asked: year at 681 early. up to 81 7-8, closing at about 811-2. There was no relief for holders of sample lotsin to-day's market, though the momy : if anything, was stronger, owing tothe advance in prices. But millers were the principal buyers, and they only looked around for the best, for which 81 to 82 was paid. Cash grades were strong and No. 3 red and No. 4 advanced fully le under sharp competition between shippe the other grades were aijso in seipping demand an No. 2 red sold fairly to millers.

Corn was firm, but quiet. Receipts were small here and at about all other markets, save Chi where 735 cars were inspected. Cables were dull and the weather favorable forthe growing crop, re- rts from which were simply magnificent. The emand exceeded selling offers right along until late inthe day, and just after the noon call fully 4c advance was obtainable, but soon af wards the tone became weak, mand subsided and ~prices sagged finally closing about 4c above yesterday.

President. —E [Entered at the Post Office at St. Louis, Mo., as second- class mail matter.] TERMS OF THE DAILY. Subscribers who fail to receive their paper regularity will confer a favor on us by reporting the same to this office by THE WEEKLY. EL ge oe oe ro ig J ay SEO a POST-DISPATCH. 515 and 517 Market street. _ TUESDAY, AUGUST 12, 1884. Bix All Greased: Subscribers leaving the city during the sum- mer months, can have the FPost-Dispatch mailed to them regularly at the usual rates, by leaving their address at the counting-room, No, 515-17, Market street. ——______} Tus is a poor year for the Campaign Liar. Ir looks as if the days of O’Day are num- bered. THE State Democratic Committee could be improved by reconstruction, THE card of the Independent Republicans of Buffalo ought to settle it. Let us have peace and a clean campaign. THe bogus bond business in the Vincent case might as well be looked into, There is too much of that sort of a thing. — — - --+--- -— -_——_ Tue Central Committee will not issue a call fdr a public celebration with fireworks in honor of the nomination of MARMADUKE. Wuat is Health Commissioner STEVENSON’S idea in suppressing an official report on a tainted well? Is it one of the Health Commis- sioner’s duties to protect impure and dangerous wells? Tue Republican is disposed to challenge the Globe-Democrat to a comparison of merits. The Republican undoubtedly prints more legal advertising at two cents a line than any other paper in the city, but in other respects the less attention it invites the better for it. SATURDAY’S primary vote in the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Wards should be accepted by Messrs. BRUGGEMANN and McALLISTER asavote of censure from their constituents. The only proper way to recognize it would be to hand in a prompt and indignant resignation. It is true that the Republicans have thrown KEIFER overboard. But they have renom- inated KeL_LocG, put ELkins in charge of their organization and nominated Buiarnsz for President. This sort of reform is like that of the inebriate who celebrates one sober day with a week's debauch, Rev. Groree H. Bau, proprietor of the Re- publiean smut-mill, seems to have gone to join the Ohio ex-army chaplain who, in 1880, pub- lished a story to the effect that Hanoocx not only came near losing the battle of Gettys- burg, but was behind a stump during most of the action. The Republican party apparently has an unlimited supply of “‘jack-leg” preach- ers todo its dirty work on demand. Since the removal of the Post Office the down-town carriers’ mail bags have been loaded beyond reason, to the detriment of the service.

A WILD WAR-WHOOP. ' A ferocious letter to the editor from Gen. Cassius M. Ciay, of Kentucky, appears in the New York Sun. An original Abolitionist of the red-handed Jonny Broww type, he went over to the Democrats after the war and bit- terly opposed the reconstruction measures, The bloody riots and Kuklux outrages of the recon- struction period he charged to Federal .inter- ference and the Republican party. But now at the age of . seventy-four. be discovers in ‘the Danville and Copiah affairs a reason for be- lieving that he was wrong that BLAINE and Logan should be elected to begin over again the abandoned experiment of Federal in- terference,. with force bills and military raids, for the protection ofthe ballot box from bulldozers and violence. Now he holds the ‘‘Solid South” responsible for Danville and Copiah, and fiercely assailing the doctrine that such oc- currences cannot be prevented by Federal action, he asks: Has all my life work b een in vain? Have I lost a large estate? Has my family been broken up? Has more than one of my children been poisoned to death, and the youngest left alive by miracle only? Have I been robbed of my property in many ways, by open violence and fires? Have I been stabbed and shot by mobs? Have I suffered fierce slanders? Am I to die with the wounds which I received, or by the executioners of the solid South? And is there no help? It is clear from this raving that, brooding in his old age pver the wrecks and tragedies with which the infirmities of his temper have strewn the record of his life, this old man has been converted into a more dangerous crank than he ever was before by the approach of another Presidential contest. If election struggles had ever developed in a tenth part of the Southern people the same tendency to political and hom- icidal mania which has characterized his career, local self-government would have been declared long ago a bloody im- possibility in that section. All through his early life he courted angry opposition and des- perate encounters as if he loved them. His pis- tol and his bowie-knife have done fearful execu- tion in more than one hopeless contest where they were almost his only support againsta practically unanimous array of the people and amuch provoked public sentiment. Heis en- titled to all the credit belonging to that kind of heroism. But his victims were not all killed in encounters growing out of political excitements. Only a few years ago he shot a negro dead and was acquitted on his own testimony as the only witness of the affair. His remarkable faculty for getting into deadly affrays, and finding op- portunities for killing people in _ self- defense, is now illustrated in his sud- en turning against his political as- sociates of the last fourteen years, and charg- ing upon them and the “Solid Soutk” all his personal sorrows, his losses of property by fire, or otherwise, his domestic troubles, the dissen- sions of his family and the deaths of his chil- dren. General CLAY is to take the stump and rave about Danville and Copiah for BLAINE and LOGAN. His letter to the Sun shows that his sudden conversion to the policy he has so long opposed is, like the policy itself, the joint off- spring of bitter resentments and unsafe pas- sions, if not of reason dethroned. Toe scandal campaign started against CLEVELAND has been accepted by some mis- taken Democrats as a challenge tostart a sim- ilar campaign against BLAINE, and there has been so much underhanded threatening and in- sinuation about ascandal in BLAINE’s early life that itis worth while to dispose of that question, once for all: The best way to dispose of all such stories is to bring them out into the light of day and see what there is in them. We accordingly reprint from the Chicago Times the result of its investigations on the spot, and there is hardly the raw material for an ordinary campaign hie in the whole thing. It is nothing more than the vague gossip of an old-fashioned country neighborhood in Kentucky to the effect that thirty odd years ago a young lady teacher in one of the schools there became a mother before she was a wife. Itis due to BLAINE to say that the friends whose affection he gained during his stay in Kentucky are ready to denounce as a disgrace- ful slander any attempt to connect bis name with this antiquated scandal. Such a de- fense is hardly necessary. Butin this case, as in the CLEVELAND case, it seems that once one of these stories is started all attempts at sup- pression are useless. The only sound policy is to treat it as an item of news and a question of fact to be disposed of—the sooner the better. — — — —_ — Tur New York Sun is trying to persuade Re- publicans that the election of CLEVELAND would be the best thing for the Republican party, and Democrats that the election of BLAINE would be the best thing for the Demo- cratic party. This is an admission that the election of BuTLER, the Sun's candidate, would not be a good thing for either of the two parties that include nine-tenths of the voters. The in- terests of the country, apart from the interest of either party, do not enter into the Sun's cal- culation at all. ————— Berore leaving for Jefferson City to attend to his duties as a statesman, Commissioner of Supplies Ew1n@ honored a requisition for three yards of crepe for the use of the Police Com- missioners in anticipation of the nomination of Marmapvuke: Two yards of it will be used to decorate the knob of the Board's room at the Four Courts, and they are going to give a little piece, just asan act of kindness, to the Coal Oil Inspector. ———— Women Court Officials. - of St. Louis. lately appointed a Deputy United States Marshal by her father, who is the Marshal] for the Eastern District of Missouri, is the first lady ever ap- pointed as an official of a United States court.

New York, August 12—In the Independent of Thursday next there will appear a strong letter from the Rev. Kingsly Twining, D. D., on the Cleveland scandal. Mr, Twining says that he spent two days in Buffalo in @ most thorough in- vestigation with journalists, gentlemen, clergy and others. He goes on to say: “Now it is not my purpose here to repeat the particulars of the reported scandel in its grosser or ts corrected version.

There was no abduction, only proper legal action under tances which demanded it. There remains the worse and Comaing charges of general libertin- isth and drunkeness. I say distinctiy, after abun- dant inquiry, that ‘‘they are faise.” They are, I be- lieve, the product of the imagination of the slums. Every attempt to trace them led back into the merest gossip of saloons and brothels. On the other hand, my inquiry of the noblest Christian men in the profession—men above ali reproach, men who will vote for him, and men who will vote and speak ainst him for political reasons, men who know Cleveland most intimately who have been partners in business or his nearest neigh- bors, men who know him by day and night brings the unanimous reply that it is utterly impossible that such reports can be true.

THE GENERAL CHARGES of drunkenness and gross immorality which are made nst Governor Cleveland are absolutely false. is reputation for morality isgood. Therets no foundation for any statement to the contrary. He was song out and nominated for the mayoral- ty against his will and was supported for posi- thon by the larger portion of the educated, intelli- gent and moral citizens of Buffalo, without regard to politics and on purely personal grounds. After he had gone throuch this contest he was ~ ut for- ward as one of the most distinguished citizens of Buffalo, as a candidate for the governorship, and in received the support of the same class of his fellow-citizens. In this wg et where he has lived for twenty-nine years, and where his life was known and his character well understood, this sup- port would not have been given to bim had he been either a drunkard ora libertine. We are able to speak from personal reeeeng =: his acquaintances 7 lene standing, and to say that his general private life has been that of a quiet, orderly, self-respecting and always highly respected citizen. Since he assumed his present office his visita to Buffalo have been few and of short duration. It is susceptible of absolute proof, and has been proved to us, that u no one of these visits has anything occurred to Justify the statements which have been made by his detractors. The charge that he has taken part in a drunken and licentious debauch in gee on the occasion of such a visit, is entirely se. We have been particularly careful and thorough in our investigations of the al betrayal, abduc- tion and inhuman treatment of a woman of this city, as detailed in a local newspaper. The circum- stances out of which this story was fabricated oc- curred eight years o The woman in qnestion was at that time a widow between 30 and # years of age, with two children, the younger of whom was 10 years old. The facts of the case show that she was not seduced, and that the allegations respectin her abduction and ill-treatment are wholly faise. We deem these the only features of the charge In connection with this matfer which constitute a public question requiring any declaration on our part. Our examination of the other ch which have been made —— Gov. Cleveland's private character shows that they are wholly untrue. In every in stance in which the reports and insinuations ve been tangible enough to furnish a clue to us 10 guide ua in our investigation, they have been positively false. pon Gov.

Blaine While a School Teacher. It is Charged That He Blighted the Fair Fame of a Young Lady. Her Sudden Disappearance From the Kentucky Village to Seek Oblivion. A Prima Facie Case That Probably Needs a Searching Ministerial Investigation --Backed by Affidavits. From the Chicago Times. Mittenapcre, Ky.. August &—These old Ken- tucky towns afford types of character seldom seen in real life in the northern and western States. Many of thecoloneis and the majors are still on earth. Some of the fraternity are dilapidated as well as antiquated, but they linger around the hotels, in the Court Houses, and can be found atthe cattle and horse sales, which occur daily, expressing their views of the merits and demerits of the animals ex- posed to public anction. The towns, however, bear evidences of thrift, and despite the fact that the dis- tilleries are closed the business of the country stores issaidto be good, and the villages are certainly quite pretty. Still they are not so lively as they were before the war, when liquor was eheap and reasonably pure, negroes were articles of property, and the true Kentuckian was a gentieman of leisure in every sense of the word. Still the Millersburg of to-day is not the town of thirty-five years ago. It was a very flourishing village then, surrounded by a most beautiful country, and inhabited by wealthy people. The “Cane Ridge” boys came to town nightly. and indulged in the typical southern game of “crack loo,” using $20 gold-pieces for each bet. These young men rode blooded borses, and made Millersburg howl when they comme totown. The stakes have been reduced to a paltry nickel in these degenerated times, and the ave youth of the day busies himself with trading in and cattle or agricultural pursuits. The days of the rapid youth have passed in the Blue grass region. Millersburg had a famous female school in 1850-51. At the same time a companion institution for the education of boys flourish ed at Blue Licks, about twelve miles distant. Both were managed by Col. Thornton F. Johnson, who has long since left the land of the living, and the existence of this Ee brings the Times commissioner to the words of the text—-viz: “A Scanda) of Over Thirty Years Ago.” n order to retail the story in its true bearings it be necessary to a little. The schools, female, in question were originally insti- ‘town, and about the, year 1848, On of J Jesse —— A. Boulton of Ool. oe pgs yed asa professor in male d ot the institution epartinent James G. Blaine, who was atthat time 19 or B years of age. Mr. Blaine is well remembered by the old settlers as Maj. Blaine. He was a spare-built man of medium height, and as straight as an arrow, ir grew quite long and REACHED TO HIS SHOULDERS. There were possibly two hundred pupils in the male department, the sons of the blue-biooded ar- istocracy of the land. The lads wore a striking uni- ‘form, and Major Blaine, being an officer, was attired % a suit which would eclipse that poually worn by e drum-major of @ cr band. The Times com- missioner saw one of the identical suits the other day, its old-time wearer proudly exhibiting it to the boys in the “tavern.” It consisted of light-biue santaloons with a red stripe at least an inch and a fin width, and acoat, alsoof blue, which was cut in full ewallow-tail style, faced with red. As for buttons, there were just forty-eight larve brass ones on the breast of the coatand twenty-four on the taille. Anda hat. Such ahat! A huge shako, surmounted by waving ostrich plumes. Major Biaine’s uniform was said to be even more stunning, if*~uch a thing were possible. Being an officer, his coat was ornamented with more but- tons than those worn by the pupiis. He wore gold- embroidered epaulettes also, and the nodding feath- ers in his hat were at leastsix inches longer than those in the chapeaux of the pupils, It may be the origin of “plumed knight” business, { swell occasions the Major wore a sword, a “real” sword, and he was renowned for the tight- ness and slimness of his boota, which were then one of the distinctive featuresof the dress of the Ken- tuckians. These boots were called “copper-toes," and made by a shoemaker in Lexington. They were made skin-tight, and there were at least five inches of peaked toe to them, which turned up in front after the fashion of a sleigh-runner or a Dutch skate. The Major was a heart-emasher in every seuse of the word, He was remarkably neat in his personal appearance, usually walking with a light cane in his right hand, while his left carried a glove and a newspaper. THE OLD-TIME SCANDAL, the investigation of which devolved u commissioner, had for its principals ay lady “or to the female d 1. Johnson's schoo The The Times r. Blaine and ment of y's schools were located at Georgetown in her society. Col. Johnson in 1849 moved the male school to the Blue Licks, and the eltizens of this town wind, Cosine of having the female depart ment located here, offered Col. Joh and ati Sunda ‘evening. . un v court to the ind ‘ ry x the pres- to his Cc duties. Is it wonder the of Bourbon ' i} As for the BR ny ot almost wore County talked?! their tongues out. Finally the matter came to an issue. A press wy A Kentucky cadet made some remark about the affair. Maj. Blaine called him to account for it, and according to report, a litle serap, ping match ensued, but the air was quietiy ed up and nothing more heard about it. The oung man, now in middle life, was asked by the Times commissioner the truth of the story. With characteristic Kentucky gallantry he refused to say & single word on the topic. and concluded the inter- view withthe remark: “If there was anything in it I would not tell it." The teacher's wooing was soon turned by certain loquacious people into secret scandal, and ly the matter was made more and more pnblic, the whole country-side fell to talking ut it. It ran month in and month out, and at length a report was circulated which compromised in THE MOST SERIOUS MANNER the young iady. One can imagine the effect of such & story concerning people of the prominence of Maj. Blaine and his inamorata. It set the couttry boys -_ pre —— an eit og ro. for ~ Ay and *‘i-told-you-so” people, they gloa over affair, and rolled it in their mouths as they would a roasting ear or a lump of maple sugar. Then the old women beenn to debate over the proposition as to whether or not Maj. Blaine had been ity of be- traying the lady according to cu rent rumor, At the quilting-bees, the mite societies, and the dona- tion parties the ladies discussed the question in bat- ed breath. But the men folks enjoyed it immensely. The habitues of the postoffice and the store reveled in it, and the old bucks, who can always be found in country towns on the horse-blocks, or en- fared in whittling up other people's store-boxes, a lasting theme for discussion. One day, however, while some ladies were busying themselves at an accouchement, one ancient dame said she had been noticing Miss —— very ¢ . and she was sure something was wrong with her physical condition. According to her opinion Miss —-— showed the premonitory symptoms of ap- proaching maternity. Another chimed in with a cheerful secoud, and the scandal, which was bad enough before, grew in intensity a thousand fold. Of course. the married ladies told their husbands, and the liege lords in turn communicated the news to the young fellows, and every movement Miss —— made was eagerly watched. The community was awaiting developments, and, accordiug to the scrap of ancient history, they did not remain long in sus- pense, Each successive month increased the shad- ow of che coming event, and as the lady daily walked through the streets of Millersburg to and from the boarding-house and the school, the wiseacres thought they noticed an excessive predisposition to pinguidity. One old fellow thought he detected a shrinkage in the lady's dress in the front breadth. Another was firm in the belief that her dresses were made more loosely than usual. One Sunday the la- dy was seized withan attack of faintness at the vil- lage church, and was compelled to unioose her dress and stays. Then everybody was certain of the thing. It was noticed that the lady discarded gtays or corsets. Her shapely waist lost its identity. The graceful carriage degenerated into an ungainly walk, and the lady withdrew from public gaze. In the meantime Prof. Johnson was compelled by adverse circumstances to give up the school at Drennon Springs and Maj. Blaine, laying aside his coat and outtons, sword, and nodding plumes, sought other fields and was lost to the gaze of Mill- lersburg forever. When the fact that Maj. Blaine had severed his connection with the Western Military academy or been thrown out of employment became known, the Millersburg folks were all broken up, and they circulated a nauseous story that the ee had not only sediiced Miss -——, but had basely deserted her in her hour of trial. And, if report be true, the ood was openly and in secret condemned for his shes in not making such reparation to the lady as lay in his power, and the whole country fell to talk- oe it. ne sultry summer afternoon the Lexington stage drew up in front of the leading hotel in Millersburg. Down the street came Miss -—— with her head hi intheair. Paying no attention to the people in the doors or on the sidewalks, she entered the stage, and, as the coach went down the pike, the citizens of this tewn feasted their eyes on her for the last time. She has never been seen here since. THIS WAS NOT THE END of the scandal. The public n to discuss irregu- larities of conduct in the female school which were said to haye occurred some time previously. It was alleged there had been several lapses from virtue in the institution. The Blaine scandal was the ca sheaf, and the patrons of the school took their chil- dren home and the institution went to the wall. Col. Johnson left the town, and it was —_ after several years and a change of management that public con- fidence was restored and the school resuscitated and putona substantial basis. Col. Johnson had the names of 125 pupils on his catalogue in 1850, and the ¢ institution, which is now the pride of Bourbon Coun- ty people, is usually attend by 100 to 150 young ladies. There has never been a breath of suspicion against it since the affair referred to, and it enjoys to the highest degree the esteem of the public. Now this was the story which the Times commis- sioner was instructed to investigate. The school is still here, although the boarding house occupied by the pupils was burned down years ago. In 1850-5! a church was used as a school house, and it stands here to-day. On the site of the boarding house stands a very handsome college, containing recita- tion-rooms, dormitories, dining-rooms, ete. The pupils who, during the years 1848, 1849, 1850 and 1851 attended the schools at Georgetown, Blue Licks and Millersburg are scattered all over the United States. Many of the males i up their lives fn the re- bellion. The institution furnished brave men during the war, some wearing the blue and others the gray. Numbers of them were seen by the Times commis- sioner during his visit of a week to the Blue Grass region. The question arises in the mind of every one, “Can the story be corroborated?" The Times commissioner in many cases took the affidavits of parties—whose characters are above reproach—conversant with the affair, and, without giving publicity to their names, reproduces several of the statements. The following is a sample; Strate oF Kentucky, Bourbon County. — —— ——-, being duly sworn, says he is —— years of > and resided in Millersburg in 1850 and 1851, and in the spring of 1850 he attended the military school at Blue Licks wherein James G. Biaine was a profes- sor. Afflant knew Blaine and Missa personal! ana well, That some time in the spring of 1851 t became noised about Millersburg that Blaine’s well known attentions to Miss —— had resulted in her seduction and pregnancy. That the matter was freely talked about among the people of Millers- burg and the neighborhood, who eagerly awaited develiopements. 1at affiant himself watched the matter very closely, and saw Miss —— nearly every day during the period referred to, That her abdomen began to swell and grew so large she had every indication of being at least six or seven months pregnant, and her countenance also every indication of her being in a delicate condition, and her situation was by the people of of Millers- burg accepted as a tive fact and never denied, That when Miss —— orogeny was at its height she disappeared from Millersburg and has never been seen here aince. That Blaine left about the same time, and has never returned to Milsersburg. Affiant ewears that at the time a Millers- burg her pregnancy was e e ond freely talked about. To t's mind, re could be no question of her 4 said Blaine, Her name was never cou of anyone but his. The scandal referred to had the ef- fect of breaking up said school.

Sr A Campaign That is Working Itself With- out Assistance—Blaine a Defensive, Not an Aggressive, Man—The October States. Mr. Chauncey L. Filley returned home yesterday to 2700 Chestnut street, afteran extended tour in the East, including a prolonged stay at his birth- place; Lansingburgh, N. Y. Mr. Filley is fullof the most delightful reminiscences of the trout fishing in the mountain streams of Northern New York, and while he admits tha: he has seen Blaine and Logan and the Republican managers, he takes much more interest in exhibiting the flies of hisown manufact- ure,and detailing their killing work among the trout. He has brought home with him 4 = of the old House at Lansingbureh, where he was born, a quaint old 18th century struc- ture, built of briek imported from Holland, and the fireplaces decordted with hand-painted tiles. In the middle of all this pleasing mediey of sport, history and art, Mr. Filley was asked if the Republi- cans entertained any hope of carrying New York. “Entertain any hopes? Well 1 should say we do. I don’t see how the Democrats can entertain any hopes. Just look at the figures. You claim that Cleveland carried the State by 193,000 majority over Folger. What if he did? is vote was only a few undred more than Hancock's, 807 exactly, and more than 200,000 Republicans did not vote at all. Just think of it. Ihave the figures here. In 1880 the whole vote olied in New York was 1,104,605 votes. When Develand ran against Folger in 1882 the total vote was 918,894, just 158,811 less.- In 1880 Garfield got 555.545 votes, Hancock 534,511, Garfield's plurality being 21,083. Cleveland in 1882 got 555,315, Folger 342,464, Cleveland's plurality being 192,854. But com- Cleveland's vote with Garfield's and Garfield's 231 greater, while Hancock's is only 807 less, That does not show a great Democratic gain, I think does it*” ‘What are w . re.

A short man with a rotund figure walked into the, Pianter's house last night and registered his name. When the clerk read it he started back and looked at once at his guest. It was Dr. ©. C. O'Donnel of San Fraticisco, who has become notorious as the man who claims to have taken two lepers across the continent for thé pitrpose of exhibiting them and delivering lectures on the evils of Chinese immigtation. When the porter leartted who the guest was, he handied his with care to make sure that none of the trunks was a disguised cage for Ghinese lepers. Dr. O'Donnell was accom- panied by his wife. and he stops in this city to at- tend the meeting of the Supreme Grove of Druids. he Doctor responded readily to the card of a Post- ATOH er which was sent-‘o his apart- and inay fev’ minutes presented himself in the rotunda of the hotel. Dr. O'Donnell has been widely written up as a crank, but if the ¢ be true he presents none of the c'evé? Activities of the species. He is low in stature With an inclination to fleshiness. His age — be placed at about 50 and his hair, mous- tache and a short tuft of beard on his under lip ate near white, although physically he appears active and vigorous. [ie has a pleasant and intelligent face, but the outlines of his round head and firmly set mouth and jaws iadicate bull dog pertinacity of character to a considerable degree. fe is a fluent talker and whatever may be his motives for his proeent actions and attitude towards the public no o¢ can listen to him for five minutes without be- mpressed with the conviction that the talker has a sincere fatth inthe goodness of his purpose and is at least thoroughiy in earnest. Referring to his trip across the continent Dr. O'Donnell said it had been attended with many difficulties and dis- couragements. IT WAS A HARD TASK. said he, but I accomplished my purpose successful- iy Imadeagreat many stops and at_ least thirty speeches in the principal citics of the Union. Everywhere I met with opposition and discourage- ment, but 1 persisted to the end.” “How many lepers did you have with you?” “Two; Ah Wing, who had been employed in a re- spectable white family, and Wo Lin, a Chinaman who made overalis for a living. I got both of them out of densin Chinatown. I had two specimens which were taken from me four days before I left, and I was compelled to find two more, and suceeeded in getting splend’d cases. They are horrible in appear their faces a splatched with sores _- their swolien to twice their natural ze.’ said that in order to convey in safety across the continent he placed ay in a a car with .. ry caren? t taking care of the animal. The sallroade takers sed every obstacle and he says the lice awaited him at every city to prevent any ex- ibition of the deseased celestials. The car was mixed up among other freight cars and the police guarded the train closely. “I accomplished my purpose, however,*’ continued the Doctor. “All along the road I was enabled to exhibit the terrors of this dread disease to members of the and tomy friends ang the friends of the cause. I brought tothe attention of the people the terrible evils that Chinese immigration threatens to the country, and I have taken the lepers to Wash- ington where I wanted them. I have left them there on the hands of the Washington authorities to do as they please with them. The attention of Congress cannot fail to be directed powerfully to the subject by this means. I am through with the lepers, and I ex a tel hourly from my brother E. Lewis O'Donnell acauainting me with the fate of my Chi- namen. My trip has been successful, and I have ad- reased thousands of people on the subject." Besides the lepers which he claims to pave. roe B .

Where- ever the Chinesé gothey take ruin, disease and death. They kill off our people by the lingering to le or some _ other y ,andthen their vices are fear- bring vices with them unknown and un- heard of in the civilized world. The debased and villainous Wretches entice young girls @hd boys into their dens, place the opium pipe to their mouths, and once they get them under the influence of the fatal drug they are ruined forever and they use them for practices too horrible and unnatural to mention. 1 we sit by and see our boys, and es our it is the girls ee hoe to girls, get made wrecks of. morally, mentally and physically; given diseases which are taken from them and spread wholesale among our own ple.

None ofthem are free from these and worse Vices.” DR. O'DONNELL SAID he could tell stories of suffering resulting to innocent children from contact with Chinese, which would make the very stones shed teara. He said that the spread of leprosy among white people was startling. The case of Judge Bate who died from it is public, but he mentioned especially one young lady, beautiful accomplished, and the daughter of wealthy parents who had suffered untold agonies, and had become a mass of corruption through patronizing a Chinese laundry. Many similar cases he said could be cited Dr. O"Donnell said first took up his crusade against the Chinese about seventeen years ago, by means of a pitiable case of a little girl whom he had seen. and he had stered a vowto fight them to the end of his life. He gays he has spent $20,000 of his own money and neg his business to labor in this cause. “I have been arrested thirty-three times and have iven bond amounting in all to $99,000. I have never n convicted, because I produced cases of leprosy right in court. The Chinese keep thé case in dens in Chinatown, where they are employed in manufac- ture. 1 have been in the dens and have brought them to light to show what is actual! of things. I always wear gloves an anta. Dr. O'Donnell will be in town about four days, and will speak on the Chinese subject before he leaves for his home.

Ohio and Wisconsin Almost Certainly Lost to the Republicans, They Hope to Carry New York and Indiana —The Effect of the Prohibitionists’ Cam paign—Thousands of German Voters Joining Hands With the Democrats — Some- thing About Cuba. By Telegraph to the Post-Dispatch, Wasuineton, August 12.—The complications in the political world seem to increase as the weeks of the Campaign pass. Therfeis no doubt that the Re- publicans are considerably alarmed regarding the situation in Ohio and other States where the Ger- man vote is powerful. Reports from those States show serious defections among the German voters. A studied effort is being made to induce the belief among them that Blaine isa Prohibitionist. That this claim is quite absurd is well known here, but so long as it answers the purpose of course it will be made just the same. It is having a marked effect, too, in the States where there are many German voters. In addition to this there are certain local influences at work in some of those Btates. In Ohio the Scott law is understood to be disturbing German voters very much. Parties arriving here from that section say that many votes will un- doubtediy be lost to the Republicans by the enforcement at this critical moment of this law. They say that the majority in the State is so small that the loss of a very small percentage of the German vote willturn the State over to the Democrats. In addition to this there isa feeling that the Republicans will lose materially by the Pro- hibition nominations both in Presidential votes and the matter of Congressmen as well. Not only isthe situation EXTREMELY GRAVE IN OHIO by reason of this double edged liquor question, but there are other States where it is entering largely into the complications of the fight. In Wisconsin, for instance, the German vote is very heavy and the Republican majority very light. In Illinois and Michigan and other Western States, the sentiment is very strong, and it is feit Prohibition by the Republicans that the ticket may take away many Repu votes. The effect of the Prohibition ticket. and the “defec- tion among the Germans is being studied and it ts not impossible that Ohio, Indiana, Michigan and Wisconsin may become the battle nd. Of course, appearances will be k up in New York,but many careful observers in the political fleld now believe that the chances of Democratic success are really better in Ohio and Indiana than in New York, and better too in Michigan and Wisconsin than in Massachusetts. It does not seem probable on the whole that the fight in the South is to bea ve West Virginia there will bly fort made to carry the State for the Repu In Virginia the result will depend largely upon the ability of Readjusters and straightouts to unite, Con- gressman Murch, who is supposed to be something of a power am the worki thinks there is success in Maryland. e of the city of timore is naturally lican.

Some of them have a man man whom —~ 4 send three and our times a day with a mail bag to the office to deposit and receive their mail. This could easily be obviated, either by a sub-station, which must be put here sooner or later, or by having larger boxes to receive the mail.” A series of inquiries along Third street confirmed the statement made above. Some merchants said they had found the boxes crowded in the evening, and as thé@*carriers at times appeared to be overloaded they would prefer to walk to the Post Office with their mail rather than trust it to a later collection.
