Witness was in the chair when the bill came up for reference, and he referred it to the Committee on Pu lie Im- ovements. Wuen the committee considered it, owever, there were four votes for laying it over and three for reporting it, The b.il was finally re- — back to the House without recommendation. Vitness favored it at that time, and wouid have voted for it had he not deemed the old company's bill to be a better bill. AS TO THE MAN JACKSON, he was brought to witness’ office by General Ful- lerton, who asked how the committee was getting on with the bill. Witzress told them that a majority of the committee seemed to posed to tue bill, and Mr. Jackson expressed a desire to meet Mr. Gates who was one Of that majority. To accom- modate Mr. Jackson, witness sent for Gates and in- troduc him. Mr. Jackson and Mr. Gates left. and witness never saw Jackson again. As to the conversation between Mr. Slevin and Gen. Fullerton in my office, Mr. Slevin Gen. Fullerton as to the value of the stock, and Mr. Fuilerton said it would be yainable if the bill — Dr. Taussig had asked witness who would „ influential in supporting the bill on the floor of tune House, and witness mentioned Mr. Slevin as such a member, In closing his testimony, Judge Terry said: A8 to my remark on Saturday that I ‘protected’ Gen. Ful'erton, I meant oy that, that I had had no desire to bring this matter up before the commit- tee.” As soon as Judge Terry concluded, another mo- tion was made to go into executive session, and it carried by a unanimous vote. As soon as the doors were closed, the committees unanimously agreed to drop the in- vestiga. ion, to submit what testimony had already- been taken, tothe House, and to turn the subject over to the Grand Jury. Every member of the committee affixed his signature to the resolution, tor some reason or other, and the alleged investi- gation came to an end. - WHAT IT MEANS. Disinterested parties who have been watching the committee's proceedings are all absorbed in dis- cussing the apop.ectic stroke which has befallen the committee. The Grand Jury showed no desire to take up the case uotil a day or two aud chen pressure was brought sufficient to interest that body to enter upou it. This occurred just after the most damaging evidence against the water gas representatives had been given to the public, and just as the com miieeé was on tbe eve ot opening up the old company’s books aud getting at some history which the public is agxious to know. That is to say, the investigation Wwuich was begun by the wa- ter yas element, was made a machine to throw mud Just so long as there was mud to throw at the Wa- ter Gas Company, and tunen it stopged grinding, aua eft anythmg that might damage the St. Louis Company to the secret examination of the Gran: Jury. It required no keenness of vision to see that some Of the representatives of the two companies had entered into an arr ment to let each other down easily, and in short, Just enough has occurred to prove tuat tue city has potaing to expect in tue way of protection from Legislators who have all they can do to protect themselves.

How long these monopoly guarantees will be continued by the pending bill, isa question about which all disputes are liable to be decided in favor of the monopoly. The experience of Paris, of London, of Chicago, and the legislative inves- tigation in New York City all show that $1 75 is an extortionate price for gas, out of all pro- portion to the cost of producing and delivering it in a densely-built city like St. Louis, where introduction of the electric light everywhere and the recént great developments of natural gas which can be delivered all over the country by pipe, indicate further great reductions in the price of gas in the near future and explain the anxiety of the St. Louis companies fora premature renewal of contracts with this city five years before the expiration of any existing contract. Nothing can be lost by defeating the pending bill. It there were not a pipe nor a gas ma- chine in St. Louis to-day she could get a better contract from a responsible new company within a week, and before 1890 both of the old companies will be glad to offer far more liberal 2 — — — terms. BISMARCK has proposed and the Reichstag will probably pass a law taxing all sales of a or goods not consumated by actual delivery, or where the articles are not to be used as raw material, nor to be resold in good faith for actual delivery. Every merchant and broker will be required to keep a record and make a report of all his sales thus classified as specula- speculative transaction without giving special notice thereof, and paying the tax within a fortnight. A closely collected tax on all such sales in this country would yield an immense revenue. —— — — — — —— —— CommIssioneR Wricutr of the National Bureau of Labor Statistics was appointed by President ARTHUR against the protest of the labor organizations, and now he has com- missioned a cross roads politician from one of the rural districts of Missouri as his special agent for the five States of Missouri, Arkansas, Kansas, Iowa and Minnesota. Mr. Henry A. NEWMAN has shown that he can draw a salary as Labor Commissioner and throw less light on the subject than any other living man who can read and write. If the object was to mock and insult the wage- workers of the West, this se- cret service henchman of the late malodorous Crittenden administration is the right man in the right place.

Calli Out Troops, From the Chicago Pune. The old idea was at the militia should not be called out until the sil authorit wasy completely overpowered, but intcent years there is more of a disposition to suman the militia as a precaution- ary measure. It is und much easier to prevent a riot than to stop onefter it has gained full head- Within six month past the militia have beep called out in this , in a number of the States. There has been mparattvely little complaint about the volunteer being employed too freely, and in nearly everyutance great care has been taken to use the miary solely to preserve order and protect propey,and not to interfere with s\rikers or others wiout just cause. Strikes have been continued wa lat interruption in the presence of the troops, whohave been carefully restricted to the work of guardg property and preventing any riotous outbreak In one view it may be said, indeed, that troops ud in this way are really in aid of the strikers, «they prevent criminais and desperadoes from coing forward under the cloak of the strike to stt a rot. The interest of strikers always is to serve good order as one of the conditions of sucas, and their worst enemies arethe tramps and agabonds, who are doubly active at suca time: lat orts to start a violent out It is in every in the interest of honest strikers that life and pperty should be protected and proper steps taken prevent criminals seizing on the oceasion and co@rting it to their own use. 2 Unhappyo His Sons. From the Chicago Heral One cannot read of Gral Grant's literary labors under his present difficues and consider the mani- fest object of them withat a feeling of sympathy for the old soldier and ofentempt for his sons. It is plain that the wor which the General is now seeking to accomplish ad the profits of which he cannot hope to enjoy bs been undertaken for the purpose of giving one? moreof his sons a job. His book is to be issuedasa subscription volume and his sons are to partipate in the profits which it is expected that it wilbring in. To compass this he has broken an agrenent with one publisher, though not dishonorably and made an arrange- ment with another who ſoes not object toa part- nership with the sons. We may expect in due course, therefore, to sechis last work of the Gen- eral put upon the markeſby his sons and the coun- try ransacked for purchars. While all this is legitiate enough in a purely mercantile sense, it ist be regretted for Grant's sake and for the country sake that these young men have not the capacy of getting along in the world without making mehandise of their father's glory. In whatever sphe) they have figured thus far this has been their cpital stock. They have always been ready to sellaat which to them should have been priceless.

There is already a large numbér in Washington of these gentlemen They are candidates for almost any post in the gift of the State Devartment, so long as the place is in Europe. They seek these places simply to advance their social position abroad. They claim in Wach- ington that they will be better representatives of this Government than ordinary candidates, because they are familiar with the life, manners and languages of the Continent. One of the younger gentlemen of this class who is now in Washington is a candidate for the post of Secretary of Legation in London. He has plenty of money and has livea ‘ the last five or six years of his life in London. He has married an English lady. He talks with the most marked English accent. This accom plish- ment is a source of great pride to him. In prefer- ring his claims the other day toa distinguished society lady, who he thought might help him, he said: “I bave one advantage over the majority of the candidates for this place. I speak the English language and not the American dialect. you know." Henry Wight, one of the under secretaries of the Legation in London, who is now in Washington, said the other day that he would like to be retained if Mr. Pendleton was appointed Minister. He was a man of the world. and one with whom a gen- tlemanly secretary could associate without losing his social standing. He wouid not care to bold his place if such a rude, rough man as Thurman were to be appointed. There isa good deal of this sort of talk heard in Washington at the present time. 2 6 There is but little prospect of any encouragement being given to these denationalized Americans. The attempt to create a new standard for foreign appointments, based upon knowledge of society manners, will probably fail. Some of our greatest Ministers have been men who are not over-familiar with etiquette, but who made up for their lack of knowledge in this direction, by Strength of charac- ter, greatness of mind, and real ability. Mr. Curtin said the other night that an American Minister was rated abroad, by his diplomatic associates, for his knowledge of his own country. lle said that the diplomatic people were in the babit of getting to- getherand examining each other about the re- sources of each one’s country. lie said that he, fortunately, had bad a great fondness for studying the history of this country. and of the different State Governments. He also had at his flogers ends the statistics of our material resources. He thought that the respect gained for bim in St. Petersburg among his diplomatic associates was Owing to the fact that he was a walking eucyclope- dia of everything relating to tuis country. Judged by this standard the social as- wants for foreign positions would no. go very far. They are very familiar with the affairs of Europe, but principaliy pride themselves on the fact tuat they know nothing of this country and do Lot speak the American diaiect, ' . Probably one of the test Ministers we ever had abroad was Washburne at Paris. He made hero fortune, which would have driven any of tue deli- cate creatures now swarming after a foreign place, to commit suicide, if they nad been similarly un- kortun ate. Washburne was one evening at a Court dinner given by Napoleon III. It was the custom at these dinuers when the Empress arose to retire with the ladies, for the genilemen to rise from their seats and step back from the table so that she could pass down the line between them. By this all could avoid turning their back upon the Em- press. Washburue had very. tender feet. During the dinner his feet gave him a good deaiof annoy- ance. To ease himself he had quietly slipped off his patent leather pumps under che table. He was avsorbed in conversation toward the close of the dinner, and was caught unawares when the Em- made the sigual of departure. 3 was obliged to step back without having time to put on bis umps. He stood in his stecking feet, grave, dignified and seif-possessed, in the row of grinning diplomats wo stood at his right and left. He betrayed none of the embarrassment that he must have felt, and was never heard to allude to the incident by any one. 2 * Pendleton is mentioned oftener in connection with the English mission than | one else. Those whoare watching the canvass for these leading places are under the impression that Mr. Pendleton will not be appointed. If be 16 appointed it will be in the face of the most marked opposition. This opposition is none the less influential because it is underneath the surface. Tue same Ohio influence | which worked against him inthe formation of the Cabinet is to-day as bitterly opposed to his being bonored with a foreign mission.

TRICKED ‘SENATORS. How Stanley Matthews’ Nomination Was Confirmed. — ——— — An Interesting Revelation—Ben Butler and Senator Jones—The Peculiar Methods of the Latter—Mr. Blaine and His Book— benator Tem Bowen's Riches—Don Cam- eron’s Wit. Epectal Correspondence of the Post-Dispatoh. Wasurwerox, D. C., March 15.—A gentleman who is familiar with the Senatorial situation at the time of the great fight when Stanley Matthews was con- frmed bya majority of one, called at the Post luspatos Office yesterday for the purpose of giv- ing some additional information tothat given in the recent article upon the subject in the Post-Dis- parca. He said that the publication of the record of the vote confirming Matthews had created a great sir among the Senators. It was the first time a perfect record of the proceedings of that confirma- tion had reached the public. Taking up the list as printed in the Post-Dispatom be said: “There are in this listtwo fraudulent pairs. Fairis paired with McMillan. McMillan was present and opposed to Matthews. Fair had not been present during that session of the Senate, and could not bave reached Washington in time for the vote. He was not entitled to a pair under the circumstances, and had not asked for one. The pair was arranged for him by some of Matthews’ most zealous Senatorial friends who misrepresented the situation to Mo- Millan. The other fraudulent pair was that of Williams of Kentucky, who was said to befor tthews, with Vance of North Carolina. Another nt.“ said he, is that the appointment of Grey the bench was the direct result of the vote taken Stanley Matthews’ case. Hoarof Massachu- setts had opposed Matthews and would hare voted against him, but he was approached by Gar- field and given a pledge that he should have theap- pointment of the next Supreme Court Justice, if he would vote for Matthews. So here was a third vote improperly brought over to Matthews. Hoar was given the pledge by Garfield. He died before he was able to carry itout. Arthur respected Gar- field's pledge. In fact, there was not a single promise made by Garfield inthe way of appcint- ments that was not Garried out by Arthur. Hoar asked to have Grey appointed, and he reached the bench really through the intrigue of the Stanley Matthews fight. EX-SENATOR HILL OF COLORADO. Ren Butler has rented his house on Capitol Hill do the Senate for the use of committees. The rent Puc is $15,000 a year. Those who are familiar with ‘he cost of the house and its present value in the relestate market, say that this rent represents *taclly 21 per cent upon the original investment. Wheo it is remembered that the stone for this house “st Butler nothing, being brought bere from Massachusetts quarries as ballast in Government ‘essels, it will be seen that the profit to the Massa - “Susetts statesman is really much higher. It is ‘oled as a strange coincidence that the renting of this house was arranged through the favor of Sena- ‘or Jones of Nevada, who ts Chairman of the Com- mne on Contingent Expenses. There has been *me trouble between Butler and Jones for some ume about the settling of the rent said to be due Tom Jones to Butler for a three years’ “cupancy of the house Butler at be ume went so far as to send an attorney day in the Court of Criminal Correction, on a . \oS\ ee emer +o * SENATOR BOWEN. A Colorado gentleman who is in the city is very much amused over the reputation that Senator Tom Bowen has of being a silver millionaire. He says that Bowen never bad any money of any ac- count, and that when he was elected to the United States Senate he had just $90 in cash in his pocket. He had to borrow enough money to bring Himself and wife on to Washington and pay bis first month's hotel bill. He says that the way that Bowen secured his election was through adroit — Tabor. According to @ story, Bowen was Tabor's nt, and had the distribution of Tabor's funds. In his manipulation of the Leg- islature he arranged to give Tabor the short term of thirty days, and himself the long term of six years. The only money he ever had was in the Lit- tle Alice mine, He held stock in that mine, which romised at one time to go to a very high figure. pon the strength of his future Bowen started for Europe, but he never got farther than the Gilsey House in New York. While be was there a mining friend of his advised him to sell out his stock. e told him the mine was salted, and that the stock was at about as high a nt as it cou.d reach. Bowen refused to seil, although if he baa sold out at the time he would ve made $60,000 The stock took a sudden turn down, one day, and Bowen's European trip was blasted. He was obliged to borrow money to get home with. He never yet has seen Europe.

At the morning meeting it was decided to confer with the railway management this after- noon, Colonel Hoxie having expressed a willingness to meet the committee.

It is designed to begin next fall the collection of fish from all portions of the country for the purpose of displaying them in a live condi- tion, in Order to sbow the great wealth of food that is in our lakes. and to direct the public mind more earnestly to an appreciation of the means that are necessary to preserve it as a constant supply of fin- ny fodder. It is the intention of the management to make it the ex- ever seen outside of New cisco. The space to be occupied in the Exposition Building will be that occupied by the grovuio, mountain and floral exhibits last year. In the center will be a huge fountain, and encircling that will be ten five- foot aquaria. Still farther beyond, on three sides of the fountain. will ranged eight twelve-foot aquaria, each capable of holding 200 pounds Mis- sissippi catfish. On the Thirteenth street side * will be large runway and a fish hatchery of the most improved construction, which was devised by the Assistant Fish Commissioner of the United States, who has mised his hearty co-operation. The water in which the fish will be placed will be purified by filtration, so that every movement and character- istic of the scaly swimmers will be clearly observ- able. On the St. Charles street side the exhibit will be backed up by the floral 14 5 while in the portion immediately in the rear small hall and also in the part at the intersection of — main cross nave, the boats, ing teckle and similarly appropriate 28 goods will be arranged. Already one of t largest boat establishments in the est—a Chicago house—has engaged space, this early appil- cation having been received two days ago. Secre- tary Johnston says he is really surprised at the degree of favor with which this novel departure is being received by sportsmen. From everywhere he is receiving expressions of thankfulness that the matter of fish culture has been taken up such 4 powerful institution. So enthusiastic has been the support, that it is expected that all of the fish necessary for the exhibition will be contributed by ardent fisher- men, and that no expense wül fall to the Exposition in collecting them. except probably, some incidental expenditures. The kinds shown will be princi- paily the food fish, but there will be other interesting specimens. The entire contents of the various aquaria will be property classified and labeled, and will be free to all without any extra charge. That the coliection of the finny tr. be will be one of the great attractions of next fall's list of displays there is little doubt, especially after the fact is noted that a number of State Com- missioners bave not only written to signify their ap- proval of such an interest being taken in pisci- culture, but to announce a desire to — 1 — in making the exhibit a success. The Missouri Commissioner, Dr. Steed- man, is giving the project bis heartiest indor e- ment, and promises officialaid. Nothiag is so fas- cina ing as life, especially when it moves the 25 ful, uncertain forms of those lively animals that contrinute as much to our amusement and gastro- nomic satisfaction as any other breathing thing; and that fact alone will make that corner one of the most instructive and attractive spots in the Ex- pos. tion THE SEASON'S OPENING. The applications for space are already being re- ceived and Secretary Johnston has a large stack of papers that have come in the past few days, deal- ing with the all-important question of room. Ex- bibitors at the New Orleans World's Fair, have written to secure location for their displays, of which some of the best in New Orleans, have thus been contracted for. The number of exhibitors this year promises to far exceed that of 1854. and the secretary urges all the exhibitors of last year to file applications at once, as the mere fact of their hav- ing exuibited a year ago, is not taken asa guarantee that they will do so again.

Seeking Seeds, The example set by Assistant Custodian Rogers of the Custom House in asking for garden seeds as the last request from the Government, has struck the grand army of office-holders in Missouri as such a highly practical plan of getting something more by which to remember Uncie Sam that never a day wears to a close now without seeing a gust of appli- cations filed for seeds. Indeed, it 15 said that Senator Cockrell in Washington, whenever the sub- ject of seeds is broached, says: “Ah. you've heard of Rogers, too.“ and at once leads che way to the Agricultural Department. Thieves and Their Booty. Sometime last night a company of amateur safe- blowers entered Wm. Skillet's coal office at Four- teenth and Gratiot streets. They poured some powder into the key-hole of an old-fashioned safe and exploded it, but this did not have the desired effect. With a pick-axe the safe was broken open, but nothing was secured.

PORTIERES AND VALANCES, A JUDGE-MAKER. Curious and Sensational Testimony ina Damage Suit. Frank D. Turner of Chicago Furnishes Con- siderable Amusement in the Circnit Court—Some Exceedingly Personal Flings Which Nearly Caused Trouble. The testimony in the case of John W. Staley against Frank D. Turner took a rather sensational turn in Judge Thayer's court yesterday afternoon. The action is for $5,000 damages for malicious pros- ecution, Turner having had Staley arrested for an alleged forgory of a chattel mortgage, for which he was afterwards discharged. When Mr. Turner was piaced on the stand some spicy personalities were indul in in a cross-examination. Mr. J. D. Jobnson, Mr. Roeder and Gov. C. P. Johnson were conducting the plaintiff's case and an attempt was made to impeach Turner's character by his connec- ion with the Devlin murder case some eight or nine years ago. Turner said it was the result of an at- tempt on the part of Judze Wm. C. Jones, who was at tuat time Judge of the Criminal Court. to cast a blemish on hisreputation. He further testified that he did considerable toward getting Judge Jones off the bench. “You mean to say. then,“ asked Mr. Johnson, “that it was thiougo your efforts Judge Jones was removed from the beuch!“ “Well, I had considerable to do with it.“ “You would uave us infer, then, that you have been making and unmaking judges.” “I did a great deal, as 1 said, to oust my friend Jones, and | have aiso done considerable towards PLACING SEVERAL CIRCUIT JUDGES on the bench.“ Subsequent to this Turner rapped Governor Johnson by stating that during tne entire time Judge Jones was on the bench Governor Johnson had not lost a single case. “Well, that was greatly to his credit was it not? “On, 1 don't thing it to tue credit of any one to win a case by standing in with the judge.” Toe cross-examinauon was coounued this morn- ing when Turner was questioned as to bis consec- tion with the Devlin case. He müde a teugthy statement showing bow the affidavit of Devlin, wuo was charged witu murder nad been made to secure a continuance and how afterwards Deviin bad abandoned the defense of an alibi laid in the affidavit and swore on the stand the deed was committed in self-defense. He was con- victed but the judgment was reverred by thedupreme Court and the prisoper subsequentty acquitted- “Alter my esteemed frend, tue Hon, Wiinam C. Jones, had left the benca, said Turner, in conclu- sion. ou have no liking for Judge Jones?” Not a bit.“ “You have a great many enemies, have you not?“ Yes, thanks to my friend Jones and some of his friends, I have a fair share of enemies.” Later on Turner sccasioned SOME LITTLE AMUSEMENT by saying it was the general opinion about the Four Courts that Assistant tung Attorney Dierkes was a greater success as a singer than as a law- yer. While Mr. Robinson, the reporter, was on the stand, Mr. Roeder jumped to his said: “Your Honor, I object to Mr. Turner's walking in the rear of the council table and prompting the wi * “Il brand the statement as false and defy the gentieman to prove it,” said Turner.. “{ was not looking at Mr. Turner.“ said Robinson. “I consider Mr. Leeder s statement to be true, chimed in Mr. Johnson, and I ask the court to con- demn Mr. Iurner's conduct.” do not know whether Mr. Turner did or did not prompt the witness, but if he did, his conduct is re nsible, and | must leave it to the jury to de- cide whetuer ne did or did not, said the court. On rebuttal Judge Jones was put on tbe stand and an attempt made to show Turner's. connection with the Devun case in order to impeach his testi- mony, but the court rujed out the evidence.

A Sworn Statement That it Was Used on His Wife. — — — Mrs. Fred. C. Mersman Asks for a Divorce From Her Husband, Alleging Cruel and Barbarous Treat went—The History ofa Matrimonial Misfit, ~ St. Louis society will be astonished to hear that Mrs, Emma A. Mersman has entered suit for di- vorce against Frederick C. Mersman, her husband. on grounds set forth in full in the petition given bo- low, which was filed in the Circuit Clerk s office this afternoon. The petition runs: Eau A. Mensmax, Plaintiff, vs. Frepenice O. Mensman, Defendant, State of Missouri, City St. Louis, 8s. Plaintiff states that heretofore, to- wit. on the 5th day of July, 1877, in the city of St. Louis afore- said, she was lawfully married to the defendant, and continued to live with him as bis wife from and after the day and year aforesaid, with short inter- missions as hereinafter stated, until the 7th day of March, 1885; that during all that time plaintiff faith- fully discharged all ber duties as the wife of the said defendant, and at all times treated him with kindness and affection, but the said defendant wholly disregarded his duties es the husband of the plaintiff, has offered such in- dignities to her as to render her condition intoler- able, and bas been guilty of such cruel and barbar- ous treatment as to endanger the life of this plain- tiff. In this, that within a few weeks after said marriage he threatened to whip ber and send her home to her parents without any cause for such conduct. In this, that about eight months later the defendant, without any just or sufficient cause, attacked the plaiutiff at night and nearly choked her to death, and then, in order to conceal) and hide the marks of his brutality, kept the plaintiff a prisoner in their rooms for three days. In this, that treatment similar to the foregoing was meted out to the plaintiff by the defendant at said city of St, Louis so frequently during the period of their married life since above occurrences that it is impossible to specify dates as to the number of times. On June 17, 1879, defendant beat the plaintif? and drove her from him, she doing forced to take refuge at the house of her parents, where she remained for one week, when he forced an encrance to the house, and AT THE POINT OF A LOADED REVOLVER made the plaintiff promise to return to the defend- ant. [On another occasion while out rididng on horse- back the defendant struck the plaintiff with bis borse whip because she had kindly remonstrated vith him aboutthe severe punishment he was meting out to his horse in order to make bim prance. In this, thaton frequent occasions he, the defendant, manifested his cruelty by pulling some ofthe plaintiff's hair out asd choking ber. The plaintiff states than on or about the 27th of April 14, she was permitted by her husband to accom- pany her mother abroad, and that she returned to him about five months later, Thatupon her return the defendant AGAIN BEGUN TO TORMENTING THE PLAINTIFF until she thought she could not dear the sams any longer. When she informed him of the state of ber mind and told him that a separation was inevitable, he threatened to kill her if she left bim, and thus held the plaintiff in her position, In this, that on the 7th day of March, instant, the Gefendant again laid violent hands on plaintiff, CHOKED HER, PULLED BER nam nd so violently struck ber with his clenched fist as > throw the plaintiff upon a sofa and wounded and lamed the plaintiff's arm; that she thereupon left the defendant and returned home to her parents. The plaintiff states she has resided in the State for a year and that no children were born of the marriage. She prays for a decree of divorce and the restoration of her maiden name, Emma A. Schaub. Leo Rassieur and Dexter Tiffany present the plaintiff's petition. MR. AND MRS. MERSMAN have lived up to the period of their separation and for about two years past at the Lafayette Park Ho- tel. Their married life to all outward appearances was happy until after the visit of Mrs Mersman to Europe last summer, when rumor connected his name with that of a young and beautiful married society young lady. These things were talked about in the hotel and since Mrs. Mersman's return from abroad it has been a matter of current gossip among the guests that she and her husband have not lived pleasantly together. She would sometimes remain in her room for entire days and would frequently BE FOUND IN TEARS IN HER ROOM. Outwardly, however, they preserved a show of happiness which seemed to give the lie to reports of his ill treatment and her unhappiness, until Sat- urday, one week ago, when the final quarrel took Place. The story of this quarrel can be told in the words, substantially, of Mr. Yocum, the proprietar of the hotel who was seen by a reporter this morning. He said although he knew of the disagreements of the young couple and something of the cause of it from hearsay only HE DID NOT LOOK FOR ANYTHING LIKE A QUSRREL. The morning on which it occurred he was away from the motel, but the chambermaid on the floor on which the Mersman's lied, ran down and told the housekeeper that they were quarrelifg, and she thought Mr. Mersman was striking Mrs. Mersman, The housekeeper went to the room, but when she reached the door the noise had ceased. Later in the day Mr. Yocum returned, and soon after Mrs. Mersman came to his office and handed him the key to her room, saying that she was going % ber father’s house. She then told him that he bai struck ber and knocked her over the sofa. HER ARM WAS IN A SLING andithad been dressed by a physician. As near u Mr. Yocum could gather from Mrs. Mersman ber husband, during the quarrel, bad either struck or pushed her in the side 80 vigorously that she fell over the bock of a sofa and had struck ber arm against a sharp end of the wood which projected up, injuring * % a slight extent. She told the proprietor she would leave her things in the room until her büs- band had paid his bill. That afternoon Mr. Mersman returned and at. tempted to get into his room, but cou Id not do so He presently called on Mr. Yocum who told him that MRS. MERSMAN HAD GONE TO HER FaTHER'S aud that he (Mr. Yocum) had taken possession of the room and would keep all of the things in ft wet the bill for board had been paid when — let Mrs. Mersman have ber things an d he ‘ersman could take his. Mr. Mersman said “wife had no right to take anything. as she had left Um, and hence had no right to their boperty. He then asked if he could chan his linen, and on permission beng rated. did so, Ee did not return to the hotel un- Ul Tues lay of last week, when he came back with *younger brothär.

I was a good man then, a very good man, and I had no fear. I used to winter at Maysville and one season—I don’t remember the date—I ran my boat into Limestone Creek and made all snug for cold weather. The ice came early and a great many flatboatmen made their quarters here. Mike Fink's boat laid just below mine, I had heard of him, but we had never met. We flatboatmen worked hard and made money during the summer, and we spent it 3 royally when we laid off for the winter. e had frolics every day and dances every night. This season’s fun had hardly begun when it came to my ears that Mike had boasted every where that on his boat was the best rifle shot, the best fist-fighter, the best runner and the best wrestler in the Ohio valley.

About a week after- wards we met at a barn-raising out at Kenton’s Station and after the work was finished we settled down to solid 8 Finally Mike chal- lenged me to shoot with him. I accepted and everybody gathered around to watch us. You see, Mike didn't belong in Ma and a t deal depended on the result. If he won it would diminish Maysville’s glory, and if I was successful (having already defeated the champion fighter, wrestler and runner) she coula lay claim to the proud distinction of owning as her son the all-round champion!

When Mike ste up and raised his rifle he tossed his head scornfully, but the liquor had affected his nerves and his first shot wasa bad one. He loaded his rifle nerv- ously and raising it took a long, steady aim. When he pulled the trigger a great shout went up and every body crowded around me. He had missed the bull's-eye and I was the champ- ion. I was right proud of my achievement and celebrated the victory by drin more liquor than was for me.

Miss Chamberlain and Her Alleged Social Triumph in England. London Letter to the Son Francisco Argonaut. Whatever I may have at any time written to the Argonaut of or about Miss Chamberlain in England has, I claim, not only been borne out by the facts, but has been not nearly severe as what has been thought and said of ‘her. She has not been the beile and the success in En- gland that the general run of American papers would have one believe. What the Chamber- lains are at home or what Miss Chamberlain is thought of in Cleveland I don’t know and I don’t care. I have only spoken of her as she appeared in England—not to society newspaper reporters or correspondents of. American journals, but to English people of the best society who hap- |} pened to see or hear her. Now I am, I dare say, stating what will surprise a many of your readers, but it is nevertheless true that the existence of Miss Chamberlain has been and is,a fact unknown to many English peo- — of the upper classes. The name of Cham- rlain is rather a common one in England, and outside of the Prince of Wales’ set“ (in which it appears the young lady was the “‘bright particular star”) and those who keep au fait of what appears in the society weeklies, I doubt if even to-day, should you mention Miss Cham- berlain’s name, people would know whom you were talking about. By those, however, who did and do know the young lady, either person- ally or by reputation, the way in which her name has been i with that of the * —. r has been —— — emned, er parents, in permitting ve been greatly blamed. You see, this is how it is in- England: No oung unmarried lady can accept the Prince of — girl who rank and position berlain claims to hold in America, to know the Prince of Wales except in the most dignified and distant fashion. Anything like the public notice which he is said to have favo Chamberlain with, no English young lady would be allowed to receive. Nor would he | or offer it to one. Therefore it is that I have said, and I reiterate it, that in the favorable notice which Miss Chamberlain received from the Prince of Wales she did not gain any credit to herself in the eyes of right-thinking —— people. To have her come over to England and imagine that she has achieved a grand triumph because sbe accepted attentions from a man who would willingly—indeed, far sooner —have bestowed them upon dozens of English girls had he dared, seems a trifie absurd. In- , it is grotesque. Laprzs should not miss the topof the second page. Woke Up the Wrong Parrot.

The Curious Articles of Food Served Out at Centretown. - — — A Militiaman’s Biscuit, Which Ought to Adorna Dime Museum—Curious Charges by Returned Soldiers—A ‘“‘Boozy’’ Drill and Other Incidents. Among the relics brought down by several of the troops from Centertown, as reminders of their ex- perience in camp, are several biscuits which, from consistency, toughness and rocky qualities, are ca- pable of preservation for an indefinite period. It would be difficult to tell whether they were issued as shot for the gattling guns or food, and if far the latter, whether buzz-saws or siedige-hammers would prove most efficient table implements, The boys have been requested to keep quiet about their experiences in camp, but, notwithstanding this injunction the evidence of mismanagement is filtering out in considerable quantities, and it does not reflect credit on either the State authorities or some of the officers. For the first two aays the provisions were brought from Jefferson City and were so bad in quality that the men rebelled. Then achange was madeto California as the supply depot, when the food was much better, but for some unaccountable reason another change was made back again to Jefferson City and to what ap. peared to be convict contract provisions.

Why Some Buyers Mean to Leave St. Louis. — — — President Jerome Hill of the Cotton Ex- change Describes the Situation and De- clares That a Better Advertisement Could Not be Given This Market. — ů——ů— — It was stated in these columns yesterday that the firm of Callendar & Magnus, cotton buyers, had an- nounced their withdrawal from this market.

This, however, was denied by Mr. Paton’s representatives bere, the gentieman himself being absent from the city Townsend, Courte & Oo., it is said, mean to leave the St. Louis market and locate at Memphis. It must be remembered in this connection that this firm left Galveston two years since to come to St. Louis. A Post-Dispatom reporter called on Mr. Jerome Hill, the president of the Cotton and asked him what this exodus meant. “It does not meaa anytaing,” said he, We have that there is à loss of 150,000 bales at Galveston. sure of tue exact number, and Orleans the loss has been very much greater than that.

The Interest Manifested in the Ap- prosching Elections in France, | A Grand Exposition of Gustave Dore's Works—“Prince Zillah,” the Latest Dra matic Success—Zola’s Last Novel, Ger- minal’’—Ex-President McMahon's Per- sonal Recollections—The Envious King of Belgium. ZOLA, THE REALIST. Correspondence ef the Post-Dispatch, Paris, March 4.—The coming elections are now the subject of the hour. Nothing else is talked of, and the newspupers, always keenly alive to the drift of public curiosity, are filled with political pre- dictions and angry discussions. Theodora“ is for- gotten; Denise“ bas passed out of the public memory; even the news from Tonquin fails to en- gage general attention, and everybody has turned politician. Although the date of the elections is not as yet fixedand itis not known whether they will take place in the month of May or August, the rival factions are preparing for the battle, and leav- ing nothing undone to secure victory. A distinguish- ing feature of electioneering in France is the part acted by women, especially in large cities, where there is always more or less of political intrigue. The election of a deputy comes as EASY TO A PRETTY WOMAN in Paris, as the arrangement of the flowers on her bonnet or the flounceson herskirts. Isit not an unchanging truth that woman, when dowered with wealth, and wit, and beauty, acts with the same re- sistless power on the masses as on individuals? When the late Emperor and the Empress were about to make their famous visit to Marseilles there was considerable misgiving regarding their personal safety, notwithstanding the precautions of the police. Nor was the fear unfounded, for Monsieur D., a bellicose Re- ublican of the day, a member of the present hamber of Deputies, bad prepared a hostile dem- onstration which, among such an excitable popu- lation, might easily have resulted in a riot. But the beauty of the Empress was so overpowering that the hostile Republicans, captivated and subdued by her charms, could only gaze in silent admiration, and when the imperial cortege swept Monsieur D., he was 80 elec- that he flung his hat in the air and shouted, “Vive LEmpereur!“ which has been the remorse of his life ever since. What the results of the elections will be no one can predict, but it is certain that there will be some striking changes. In France politics are A SORT OF DISSOLVING VIEW. Rochefort publis tes in his paper a list of the Min- isters of the Interior of France since 1850. The number is thirty-five Ministers in twenty-six years, one and 4 quarter a year. A magnificent exposition of the designs, illustra- tions and waiercolurs of Gustave Dore will soon be held in the Cercle de ia Librairie. This exposition is opportune, for it is but fitting that the critics and the public should be called on together to come and judge this incomparable artistic creator, who, in his day flung more ideas on paper than all his contemporaries together. The visitor will see here exhibited hundreds of compositions, and yet they will not form a tithe of the productions of bis inex- haystible genius. History. tegend, poetry, the drama, all come within the scope of his boundless imagination. His encyclopedic pencil translated to the eye alternamely, a page, a chant of Dante, a scene from Shakspeare, an extravagance of Rabelais, or a phantasmagoria of Ariosto. He knew ev elf and fairy of every land in Europe. He was familiar with the phantoms of Zoro- aster and the myterious heroes of prelistoric India. The imagination of Dore wandered through the im- ——— of all the ages, everywhere exhibiting ts infinite diversity. There was ing so e.usive as to escape it: it penetrated and rifted ail nature, and where it could not discover new subjects it in- vented them. He has attached his name to OVER 16,A0 PRODUCTIONS. He has been reproached with certain faults, abuses of certain artistic formulas. Perhaps his critics are right. He couid never spare time to study forms, and his imagination, in its boundiess range, could not tolerate any cast-iron rules, if he had no ar. tistic faults, he would not have been ‘ the world would have been the loser. We must take his works as they are, with ail their ivequaltiies, impurities and grandeur. The futhre wiii contemplate his produc- Lions with curiosity and admuration, and if it wiil not always bestow iis praises without reserve, it will dea generously wan the man whose industry lett him no time for study. and who spent his entire lite in the worid of .mayinations. A vew theatrical success bas been scored by Jules Claretie, tue distinguished novelist, in the dramati- zation of one of he novels, “Prince Zillah.” The drama is founded on an episode Of the Hungarian war of inpedendeoce of 1848. and is worked out with cousummate art.

Andrew Carnegie described the little brick shed which serves asthe counterpart of our potter’s field and how pleased he was with the ready way in which the pauper dead were disposed of, also the Parsee towers of s.ience wita the waiting vuitures sitting on “a borrible ghoulish parapet,” shoulder to shouider, looking for the coming of the first funeral with their daily meal.

SULLIVAN KNOCKED OUT. The Boston Champion's Experience With a “pier Spiritualistic Medium. By Telegraph to the Post-Dispatoh. Pauapsirnia, March 18.—Now that the excite- ment regarding the eclipse is over, more attention is paid to our august visitor Mr John L. Sullivan. Somewhat less aitention is paid to Patsey Shephard, but that is probably because fewer men are afraid of Patsey than of John. Whether Sullivan will meet McCaffrey on the 30th or not is the question. and the principals, to be, show less concerning the matter than the people who will pay to see them, McCaffrey trains hard at a well-known resort and is seen but little around the so-called sporting houses. Sullivan, although in the city but a day, is always visibie. Yesterday afternoon he . MADE AN EXHIBITION OF HIMSELF that resulted in the discovery that at least one man lives who can knock him out. After he had eaten a couple of pounds of rare beefsteak at breakfast in tue morning at the Girard House, he took a walk out to the Caestaul street bridge with his trainer, Patsey Suephard. His cheeks were rosy when he got back to the hotel at nearly 2 o'clock, and he remarked to Shephard that he felt as strong as au ox. At 2o0'clock Suiiivan aud Shephard went to a matinee at Egypuan Hall. When Prof. Kear began his cabinet trick he in- vited a cotummtee to go upon the stage aud tie ins. The audience shouted for Sullivan, who, with iis “shephard,”’ went on the stage. They used a piece of rope similar toa bell cord to we Keller with. Sullivan took hold of one end of the rope aod Shephard held the other. in trying to tie tne professor's right wrist they broke tie rope in two pieces as if it bad been a piece of twine. A new rope was obtained and Keiliar Was finally tied. He invited Sullivau to go into the cabinet with him. The slugger iu reiatiug nis experience, sad: 1 wus never so surprised in my life as 1 wasa few minutes after | went mto Kellar's cabinet.

Pritchett Requested to As- sist the Director of the National Observa- tory—An Interesting Operation in Which a Clock at Mexico Will Tick tn St. Louis Arrangements for the Work. It iu a fact, perhaps not generally known, that Washington University distributes time to a larger area of country than any other observatory in America. The entire Mississippi Valley receives its corrections of time from the university, Besides this work, Prof. Henry 8. Pritchett also has much to doin the way of determining the longitudes of points which have not been definitely set- tled. The location of the transit pier at cme observatory is as well defined as any in the United States, and it isin excellent communication with the Washington and Green- wich observatories. It has connection with Wash- ington by four different routes and with Greenwich by two—Washington and Cambri This point has been selected, therefore, as the best for the determination of the exact longitude of the Na- tional observations in the City of Mexico. The — soe of t corny rvation has never Bcc enoitely, t 0 approximate eter- „ 0 5 ao and calcu ions © opening e pb line at the dis- posal of the Mexican authorities the simple and ac- curate method pursued by the modern astronomers to determine longitude. * SENOR ANGEL ANGIANO. the director of the Mexican National Observatory. representing the Government, has requested Prof. Pritchard to take — of the work at this point and aid him in his ea vors to find the longitude sought for. Correspondence with reference to the matter has already passed between the two gentiemen, but there are many details to be ar- beforeband, and it is thought advisable to postpone the actual work until more settled weather, when there is not so much danger of the interruption of commerce by wire between the two points. The method to be pursued in determining the longitude is a very simpie but at the sarpe time an uiteresting One. ‘ihe astronomical clock at the Observatory here and the clock at the National Observatory in the City of Mexico will be con- nected by a coutinuous circuit over the Mexican Central wire. The work will be done at night in order that the usual telegraphic business may not be seriously inter- fered with. The observers will decide upon some Star which crosses the meridian about the proper time for them and both will pote the exact moment at which it reacnes its high noon, or in otner words, crosses the meridian. Tuis observation is made by both of them for tne sole purpose of testing the cor- reciness of their clocks and of finding the exact o- cality. As soon as this correction of locai time has been obtained tue circuit connecting the clocks will be opened and ticks or seconds of the clock at Mexico will be re- corded on the chronograph here, while the seconds, as marked on the ciock, here will be recorded faithfully on the curonograph in the City of Mexico. THE MOST INTERESTING Harun of the operation wili wiil be the fact that the tick- ing of tie clock in Mex‘co will be heard here re- peated on the chronograph. The seconds will be marked at each station, but the minute will have to be noted by each observer and communicated to his co-operator. Iuere will be some loss of time in the trausit, bout this will be compensated for by the fact that toe time is bug recorded at both ends and the loss being the same the mean between tue | two wiil be the actuaitime at each place. In this way the difference of time can be noted, and hence the di ence in jongitude from which the exact longit of the Mexican National Observatory can be determined.

The question of Sunday ball playing at Coney Island is exciting much attention in the East where the matter has notas yet been practically tested. A writer in the Brooklyn Union takes a broad guage view of the matter and says: No, what is done on Sunday at Coney Island during tue summer which the presence of thousands upon Lucusands ot the citizens of the entire metrop- oils shut their eves to, if they do uot openly sanc- ton? Begmuing with the most offensive features, there are Lhe public dancing saioons, tue character of Wien need not be menuoned. Then there are boxing matcves; billiard blaying of the ‘pool-for- drinks’ claracter; variety theater perfor:naaces of the worst kind; dime museum ex- hibitions; games of ali kinds, inciuding vase-ba Playing by amateur nines on free grounds, where neither gaimbing on the game nor rouga behavior by tue pavers or (he spectators can be conlroiied. Add to these private sales of pools on Sunday, aimost Open ganibiiug neus flourisaing, and @ mu. tiplicity of concert and drinking salbous in ru blast. All this goes on with unpunity, in open violation of State laws, and not a word is said against it by certain journais until the fact is puoiished that a professsoral ball ground is about to be opened r tue piaying of games on Sunday, under rates and regumiuons which will strictly prouibit ali gambling aud enforce order and deco- rum among the piayers and spectators. Lhe Su- preme Court of Lue State has decided that the play Ing of base bal on Sunday is nota violation of the Penai Code of the State, ‘unless the playing is en gaged in at such iocaiities aud is marked by suca couduct as leads to 4 violation of the Sabvath repose of the coummunity in wich we offeuse is committed. This violation occurs wien the game is played on free grounds Wilhin tue city uuuts, as was done last summer With lmuuunity from police interference. But no sch vioatien could be possible under the circumstances of the games being piayed on a properly-mavaged, enciosed professional vail ground, governed by reguiariy-estaviusaed associa- on rules, alld, moreover, piayed im a iocaity where tue required Sabbath repose of the com- munity’ is an Uncnowa Condition of things.

By Telegraph to the Post-Dispatch, New Yorx, March 18.—Victor De Lesseps, son of Count Ferdinand De Lesseps, with Theodore Motet of the Board of Directors of the Universal Inter- Oceanic Panama Canal Company, and Mr. Martin, general secretary of the company in Paris, arrived from Colon yesterday on the steamship Colon and went to the Bruuswick Hotel. Mr. De Lesseps excused himself to inquiring friends, saying that a physician had directed him to rest twenty-four hours. The rumors preceeded Mr. De Lesseps that all was not so flourishing with the canal company's affairs as the public had believed; and that the finances of the canal com were in such a plight that Mr. De Lessens, Mr. Motet and Mr. Marten were hurrying to Paris by way of New York, to see whether something could not be doue to avert disaster. A correspondent writing from on March 7, says that the actual indébtea- ness of the cana! company to date of writing for shares and bonds sold amounts to 700,000,000 frances, paying interest at 3 per cent., and 5 per cent. The otal annual interest is 22,875,000 francs. Tue effect of a failure would, it is believed, PRECIPITATE A FINANCIAL CRISIS IN FRANCE, where the shares and bonds are held. ntleman who passed two days on the line and n, the eastern terminus, reports that only 6,000 men are working, and the wet season is coming on when work must be suspended. The company 28 to have an abundance of money. On the inst., at 1 15 m., Muracciolli & Co., ong of the largest contracting firms, stopped all wor? at Bos Obispo. The reason given was that the canal com- pany had not paid the contractors for two months’ work already completed. The dredgers at Colon stopped work recently, alleging the same reason. On the other hand, in the editorial columns of a daily newspaper printed in Panamaon March 5, the editor says that Mr. De Lesseps and his associates, — — over the entire line ast month, express satisfaction with the nspection, and believe that the most tedious and ne portion of the task before the company has n performed. They see no reason tu be- eve that Mr. Ferdinand De Lesseps’ plans will uot be carried out. The company has VAST MEANS AT ITS CALL, the materials, machinery and men are at hand to complete the work, and with the experience gained, and with careful management, there is no room for doubt that the work wiil compieted in the promised time. Mr. Gustave Saleta, repres enting the canal company in the Amer- ican Office at 18 Broadway, said yesterday that he met Mr. De Lesseps and his companions on the ar- rival of the Colon, and that although Mr. De did not have an extended interview with him, in consequence of his weariness or illness, yet he ex- pressed his satisfaction with the condition of the work. Men were at work on twenty different places, and a well-defined line was thus already estabiished across the Isthmus. The only trouble with che contraciors, Mr. Saleta said, was that a construction company refused to continue work because more money was wanted from the canal company. It hay been the custom of these contractors to continually demand money to carry oa their work, and after a while the canal company's managers, convinced that the contract- ing cOWwpany nad no money to work with, refused to advance any more. Mr. Saleta laughed wuen it was suggested that (he cana! company was short of money. He said that all the money necessary for the project had been ready in France FROM THE BEGINNING OF THE ENTERPRISE. Mr. Martin said last evening Uiat the report that Muracciolli & Co. had stopped work was without foundation. Muraccuolli had dined with him just before sailing. The fact was that Muraccioilli was getting rich out of the job. Ihe dredging company bad stopped work with its three dredges forafew days, out woud begin again soon with four dredges. As to the statement that it would be impossible to succeed with tue debts incurred, that was a matter of opia- ion. Mr. De Lesseps bad not returned to Faris to get money to brace up the enterprise, but to report favorabiy. Mr. De Lesseps will sail for France on tue French Line on the 26th instant. * Stricken From the List. A communication has been received by the Post- Dispatcs calling attention to the appointment of Jesse, Woods on the corps of sanitary inspectors, and asserting that he is unfit on account of his past record and character to serve in such capacity and be allowed entrance to private premises.
