MR.

Mr. Cook's Tony Lumpkin was one of the best ters in the play.

Guy Lindsley looked pretty all the time, and, as imental fair ones. 4 captivated the sent ate f McLaran festooned about a pillar in the rear of the right aisle like an Apollo posing. There were several recalls at tne close of each act, usually followed by a shower of flowers. Charlie Dickson thought Billy Smith's profile was the fac-simile of Geo. Denham's in “Billee Taylor.” “Oh, my!" said Toto Papin, “it is really too warm in here. I shail transpire,” and he r. Mr. and Mrs. Newton Crane, Mr. W. H.

Poston Scott said Billy Smith was too “embon- point” in parts, but his “tout ensemble” was Charlie Hubbard sat beside Miss Billingsley, a second De Mauprat, conscious of the merit of his applause. The friends of the ladies who took part in the play vied with each other in sending magnificent floral tributes. 7 Judge Lindley fractured his vest laughing at Tony Lumpkin. He said he would buy a pool on him in any race. Gist Blair grew tired of ushering before the first act was over, and made a bald-headed dash for a front seat. Mrs. W. L. G. B. Allen was one of the most enthu- siastic spectators and always applauded in the right place. Mrs. J. L. D. Morrison, Mrs, M. F. Scanlan, Miss Mimi Morrison and the Misses Von Phul were all in the foyer. Miss Fanita Hayward was evidently proud of her sister’s acting, but modestly refrained from ap- plauding her. Mrs. Judge Horner sat by her husband, towards the rear of the center o, looking like a May day breaking.“ “Mr. Lindsley makes me very tired,” was one of the adverse criticisms which was heard in the or- chestra chairs. Messrs. R. C. Lee and Gist Blair as ushers played the great Damon and Pythias act. Lee's collar just tipped Blair's ears. Thera was more than the usual difficulty in secur- ing carriages at the close of the performance. The rain fell in torrents. Mr. George Loker and Miss Lilian Edgerton sat together in the foyer. He applauded Miss Hayward and she Guy Lindsay. The audience appeared from the foot-lights like a garden of roses, with a few heads scattered here and there over it. Miss Tallie Brant sat with Mr. Collman in one of the near rows, and noticed with rigid precision ev- ery elocutionary faux pas. There were long waits between the acts, but the audience made as good use of them as the perform- ers did of the acts themselves. There was no hesitancy onthe part of the mem- bers of the cast about going back and starting over again when they started wrong. The ushers wore spike-tailed coats, with bou- tonniere adornments. They wore a regulation col- lar, with a smile in the background. Dave Breckinridge said the song in the second act was the worst he ever heard, and that is saying a great deal for a Princeton graduate. Tony Lumpkin's development of flesh was con- fined to one spot, which stood out in strange heavy- dinner contrast to the rest of his figure. “How did L look? Is it going off all right? Did I make a mistake? Is it really nice? came float- ing out from behind the scenes after every act. The — in — — the 9 manifestea t peep-ho was not less 2— than shown in the — Mr. N. C. Chapman said: “By Jove! I never saw a barmaid with such a andsome dress as Mrs. Hirschberg’s. It was deuced clevah, though, ah!” Dr. Semple Floyd-Jones and his bride occupied seats in the foyer. The Doctor thought Mr. Hard- castle was abnormally developed ought to be tap The had his hands, or rather his mouth, full, but he repressed the usual fog-horn element which asserts itself in the average prompt- er's voice. The ushers were R. Cloyd Lee, Gist Blair, Dave Breckinridge, Ed Dameron, Will Hazeitine, Lou Hayward, Andrew M y, Hayward and Dick Kennett. Doorkeeper Cheatham was as officious and dis- agreeable as ever and flapped the tails ofa full dress suit as though he were the only “blackbird in the dish.“ | Gen. Fullerton thought it was “positively shock- ing” to turn the so low during the acts. He was in favor of cheap gas, but—the line had to be drawn somewhere. There was a suspicious resemblance to an Irish brogue in the dialeq; of some of the performers, but then many of our first families are of ancient Irish origin, and blood will teil. Col. and Mrs. Mizner were not to be deterred by an April shower from responding to “Sweet Char- ity’s’’ call, and came all way up fromthe Bar- racks to attend the performance. General Sherman was evidently pleased with the performance, but there was an anxious disap- — expression on his face, as if he would have ed a society chorus to be thrown in. Ernest Bell sat by Miss Dorcas Carr, and re- marked that there was a striking resemblance be- tween Tony Lumpkin and Jack Farrar when the latter won the Gentleman’s Cup in 88. One would think that society le would have no difficulty in saying any amount of drawing-room talk, but it did not always come out as trippingly as constant practice ought to make it. Miss Hayward showed surprising skill in her Greeco-Roman wrestling match with Mr. Cook. The odds were in favor of her downing him if the play hadn't called for the contrary result.

FOR NATURE, REVERENCE How Arbor“ Day was Observed in Penn- sylvania. By Telegraph tothe Post-Dispatch. Lancaster, Pa., April 17.:—Yesterday was Ar- bor“ day in Pennsylvania, the creation, so far aa this State is concerned, of His Excellency, Robert E. Pattison, the Governor. Ali of the nearly half hundred public schools of the city celebrated the day with tree planting and literary speeches, hun- dreds of trees being planted, and the weather hav- ing been all that could be desired. At one o'clock this afternoon Governor Pattison, Senators John E. Re of Philadelphia, Joha M. Stephen of Lan- caster, J. G. Hess of Northumberland. Samuel Wag- ner of Culbert, J. H. Ross of York and H. Harlan of Chester; Representatives Dr. S. T. Davis of Lan- caster, William H. Brosius aud M. S. Heidelbaugh of the Southern District of Lancaster, and Samuel Isenberg ef Adair, and the Chief Clerk of the Senate, T. B. Cochran of Lancaster, arrived in this city, where they were met by acommittee from the State Normal School at Millersvilie, and were escorted to the Stevens House and royally enter- tained. About 2:30 o'clock the distinguished guests started for Millersville, four miles from this city, in open barouches, and as — 4 drove up in front of the State Normal School build- ings they were greeted with the presence of HUNDREDS OF BLUSHING YOUNG LADIES, who had assembled on the campus, anxiously await- ing the arrival of the Governor's party. At 3:15 o'clock the tree planting began, the first an oak, having been named in honor of Governor Pattison. Prof. Shaub, the principal of the school, dedicated it m these words: “We name this tree in honor of Robert K. Pattison, Governor of the Common- wealth. May it flourish and grow, and may it ever exert an influence for good as the distinguished geutleman in whose houor it has been named.” The Governor simply said: “so mote it bo.“ The second tree also an oak, was named in honor of Dr. E. E. Higbee, State Superintendent of Public Instruction, and the lanting of the remainder of the trees, owing to the ess of the hour, was postponed to another time, the matter uf planting them to be informal. The outdoor exercises concluded, the assembjed thousands, or as many of them as could find in beautiful chapel, assembled inside the Nor- mal l walis, where addresses were made by Prof. Shaub, the principal, State Superintendent bee and Gov. Pat Dr. Higbee, after jok- telling the students that if they did not take those trees, the State in about two months to examine would not force them, concluded by im- pressing u all that they should learn to love nature with such tender reverence as never to abuse her or profane her, and, inspired by such love, they elp in making home or school or ty a presence of beauty through life. GOVERNOR PATTISON ways king to the point, recalled with a sense of sorrow the startling — eh showing the detlec- tion of the forests, reminded his hearers that Will- iam Penn, the founder of Pennsylvania, had, in his treaty with the Indians, God's sunshine and the no- ble trees for witnesses. To-day we have the glori- ous sunshine, he said, but the witness, the forest, * was missing. The of “Arbor” day was to recall witness, and he cherished the hope that this lished. “We New Y our were inte sentiments DY the students, and at the school, as in the city, a perfect ovation was paid the Governor's party. The exercises being conciud at Millers- ville, the Governor and party returned to this city, where they visited the Home for Friendiess Chil- dren, and other points of interest. The streets wore a holiday look; the boys and girls were dressed in holiday attire, and the sun beamed warmly and smilingly over all, and Arbor Day had a birth which was most ausp:cious. SITTIG PLAYING THE CLOWN, Ssnsational Episodes in the Illinois Leg. islature. — By Telegraph to the Post-Dispatch. SPRINGFIELD, Itt, April 17.—To-day's sensation in the House was caused by the speech which Allen of Vermillion made against a bill introduced by the Committee on Printing, which provides for the purchase of 3,000 copies of a two.volume edition of the Revised Statutes by the Secretary of State. from Judge Cothran, of Chicago, at $9 a set. Allen said that there isno demand for the book, and that itis a deliberate, downright steal.“ As such he demanded that it be defeated, and it was laid upon the table. It was championed by Crafts THE GRAIN INSPECTION BILL. In the Senate most of the morning session was frittered away in dilatory motions. After a lengthy contest Seiter succeeded in having his bill provid- ing for State grain inspection at East St. Louis and Warchouses and referred to the Committee on Ju- dicial Department, but failed to get a motion car- ried through the Senate requiring the committee to report on the bill next week. In the joint session Sittig lolled in the funereally draped chair made vacaat by the death of the Dem- ocratic Representative Shaw, sitting behind the desk, which was also heavily draped in black, and facing the floral design upon the desk, which bore the words “At Rost. The Democrats did not ap- | prove of the bad taste dispiayed any more than the did. It was suggested that Sittig had at last reached the tomb. Senator Ruger was ab- sent, and Sittig adhered to his pair with Shaw. All the other Republicans (100) were present and voted for Logan. A few Democrats were absent and no Democratic votes were cast.

The police have about “reached the end of their rope“ in the Southern Hotel murder case, and there is little more that can be done in the line of de tective work here in th % connection. It having been determined to a certal-y that the murderer Sailei on the City of Sydascy, with Auckland as his ostensible destination, the St. Louis officials can only “wait till their ship comes in.“ as it were, tak- ing care, meanwhile, to have every proper preliminary arranged, so that they may claim the prize the moment he is captured by the Auckland authorities. To that end an indictment will be procured against Maxwell without delay, requisition papers will be obtained from Governor Marmaduke, and a mes- senger will take these to Washington, as a basis for the formal demand of extradition on the British Government. The Department of State cannot, of course, sign such a demand until the presence of Maxwell on British territory is actually established, hence the State's messengers will be unable to de- part for New Zealand, to take charge of the man, until a tele- gram has been received, announcing him in custody. Who these messengers will be remains to be determined. There will doubtless be two of them, however, for the task of bringing an impor- tant prisoner 10,000 miles and meeting the many con- tingencies that might arise to hamper or delay wou d be rather too severe for any one man's NEKVES AND POWERS OF ENDURANCE. This programme, which admits of no shortening, makes it certam that at least ten weeks must elapse, under the most favorable conditions, before Maxwell can be brought back to St. Louis. During all these weeks of waiting the St. Louis public will doubtless devote a great deal of time to theorizing on the case, which, no matter what the ultimate explanation may be, will go on record as one of the most remarkable and memorable trage- dies in the history of this country. The certain knowledge of the murderer's course of flight limits the range of speculation to the period between the arrival of the two men in this country by the steamer Cephalonia, which occurred in Jan. uary, and the flight of the murderer from St. Louis on April 8. __Nogthingin the vast amount of information thus far acoumulated concerning the men goes to show, or intimate, that they knew each other before Preller started from England, shortly after the new year, to make his third tour through this country. Hecame with a large stock of samples as a com- mercial salesman for the house of J. H. Dixon, which is located at his native city, Brad- ford, England, and which manufactures carpets, rugs, worsteds and decorative goods. It is reasonably sure that he started with no travel- ing companion, and information from those who know himin New York and Boston warrants the belief that he and Maxwell met onthe steamer. Who Maxwell is, aod what was his purpose in visit- ing this country, nobody seemsto know, any fur- ther than can be judged from his own EXTRAVAGANT AND VARYING STATEMENTS, many of which bear on their face evidence of their Aa. He had characteristics which were unmistakably English, and that is the sole fact in meager support of his claim to title. He had photographs and other possessions which were undeniable proof that he had spent some time in Moscow. His claims that he was a surgeon or an officer in the Russian army, Or @ surgeon at St. Bartholomew's Hospital, are not only uhsupported by any evidence, but are contradicted so strongly by his ignorance on points with which that experience should have made him | familiar, and by his general character and caliber, as to warrant the belief that these were false pretenses, indulged in either for the advan- tage they might give, er for the vain glory which is often a characteristic of the shallow intellect. It has been said that he gave evidence of being a good physician, but this is not true, so far as anything known here can show. On the contrary, he ap- pears TO MAVE BEEN A MERE TYRO im medicine, and a braggart and pretender in char acter. His effects are those of a charlatan—two or three medical works, a few instruments, suchas a tinker might carry, a magic lantern and soreen, afew phials with a graduated glass, and a miscellany as varied as the collection in a small boy's pocket. He was utterly without refinement, save that he had learned something about assuming ite externa! forms in the matter of dress. How a young man like Preller could be attracted ta such an utterly opposite and rather t character as this, is the first mystery which this strange case presents. Preller was a man of 90 years, who had, as everything ahout him al of i his a refined home, who bad been always surrounded by loving relatives, who was rather diffident and rotiring · in his disposition, and who had a strong religious and emotional nature, which had evidently been freely developed. Among his effects isa long record, kept by himself, of the evangelical work performed by himself and a few kindred spirits. It tells, in and salvation he had labored r stubbornness of this one, the apathy of that one and the and insc lenco of another one, In words which forbid the idea of mere pro- tense, he deplores the failings of these people, and | in a triumphant vein he notes the progress made by himself in the work of bringing them under the influence of religion, particular mention being made of the fact that he finally succeeded in tacking up a tract or motto near the head of the bed of a woman trunk was found the card which Maxwell doubtiess gave him when they parted the first time in Bos- ton. It is dated February 4, 1885, and bears the in- scription in Maxwell's handwriting: W. H. Max. well, B. A., 1800 Washington street, Boston; M. R. O. 8. L. (Member Royal College of Surgeons of London)“ While they were separated Maxwell plied the young man with letters, keeping the New Zealand project alive and fresh in memory. THIS BRINGS THE STORY to the point where they make their advent in St. Louis, Maxwell comes here with two trunks, which, judg- ing from the one he left behind, qontained very lit- tle that was of value. Preller, in response to his let- ter, came soon after, bringing trunks and other ef- fects, which would fill an ordinary transfer wagon, and which contained property worth possibly $1,000 or $1,500, much of it being personalty which he brought right from bis own home, in the nature of hand somely bound music books. Maxwell knew all along that he had not the wherewith to make the trip to New Zealand, and yet he concealed the fact from Preller, and together they planned to take the ship at San Francisco on April ia This would argue conclu- sively that Maxwell expected to get the money he needed somewhere between Boston, which he left on March 18 or 19, and San Francisco, which be was to reach on April 12. He certainly did not ex- pect to earn it, and the inference is overwhelming that he intended to get it from Preller. How? That is still the mystery. It is possible that he intended to play on his young friend's generosity to such an extent as to induce him to pay the traveling expenses of both. And yet if that had been the case, he would hardly have assumed such an air of affluence and don"t-care-for-expense as he did when he took quarters at the Southern. If he intended to ask Preller to foot the bill, he would hardly have taken finer quarters than Preller, nor would he have assumed the position of host and entertainer toward his young friend, as he always did. He may have INTENDED TO STEAL THE MONEY, but if so, a moderate use of chloroform would have been just as practicable and just as éfficacious to that end as murder. He had to have money, and he had to have it before he left St. Louis. He tried to raise it by pawning or selling his magic lantern and his watch, but failed. Preller was with him when he made this endeavor, but Preller evidently did not offer to give him any money; in fact, Maxwell probably explained that he only wanted to lighten his baggage by selling off these effects. Sunday came, and the hotel bill. which was large, had to be paid next day. It was the critical hour. Maxwell may have intended murder from the out-, set, but if so,it seems hardly probable that he would cumber himself with an unnecessary trunk which he was compelled afterward to leave behind to help to convict him. If so, again, be would hardly have waited till he reached St. Louis before provid. ing himself with the chloroform which appears to have played an important part in the affair. If 80, once more, he would probably have avoided re- vealing his identity unnecessarily to people in St Louis, If so, he would probably have laid PLANS TO REMOVE ALL EVIDENCE which might fasten the crime upon himself if caught, and would even have laid plans for the dis- position of the body. And right here all theories go into confusion. Had Mr. Maxwell desired to manu- facture evidence against himself asa murderer and had he desired to furnish the police with every clew they might need to trace him and convict him, he could hardly have worked to those ends more systematically, than he did from noon of Easter Sunday till the hour he left San Francisco on the City of Sydney. He appeared with Preller the last time he was seen alive. He accompanied Prel- ler upstairs in the hotel. He went out and bought chloroform twice, the second time being in a great hurry. He put the body in one of his (Maxwell's) own trunks, and left the trunk in his (Maxwell's) own room. He went to drinking hard soon after that was done. He asked the waiters that night what could be done with g man who had com- mitted murder here, and whether $500 would acquit him. He went out on the streets and was prodigal with money in stores where,two days before,he had been trying to raise money on personal effects. He made several foolish investments, including a pair of gold spectacies, and talked free- ly with as many men as would listen to him, always saying something to impress his identity on their minds for future reference. He told the people at the hotel that Preller had gone to the conntry, and he talked of paying Prel- ler’s bill. He wrote a letter to a Boston acquaint- ance, saying he and Prelier were going on a ranche in Texas, and to make evidence for himself dated it April 7, without thinking that, the Post-Office stamp would be April 6, THUS EXPOSING THE FRAUD. He finally left the hotel, leaving two trunks in the room that he surrendered, which course was almost certain to result in the discovery of his crime within two deys. He checked his bag- gage to San Francisoo, and, getting on the train, he, during the entire trip, so demeaned himself and exhibited such points of identification,as advertised him to everybody, and made his capture certain before he reached the Pacific coast, provided Prel- ler's body was discovered within the time he should have allowed for the discovery to be made. He as sumed the character of a Frenchman without having any knowledge of French, and consequently, with the certainty of exposure—in short, he showed in everything he did that it would never do 4t all to judge him or his course byithe ordinary rules of rea- sov. Owing to astrange oversight in the hotel, and to that alone, he got aboard ship, and there is just one chance that he will not be caught the moment he steps off the vessel. Maxwell at the Heb. A letter from A. F. Dearborn's Detective Agency, 40 Water street, Boston, gives an account of Max- well atthe Hub. It was reoeived by Ohief Harri- gan to-day, and reads as follows: Bosrox, 1 : L. Harrigan, Esq.: ne T. 8. Powers, naval office clerk at the Custom House, came to this office this afternoon, and, after discussing the Maxwell affair, he showed us m letter from Maxwell dated at St. Louis on the Tih of April, written on one of the Southern Hotal letter heads, in which he tells Powers that be arrived all safe at St. Louis, and that he had receivéd his “coin” which be bad cabled for from St. Louis; that We had changed his plans. “We are going right out to Texas on a ranche," and says he presumes he shall have a fairly good time out there. The envelope it is sent io is post-marked St. Louis, April6,at6p.m. Mr. Powers has known Maxwell and Preller for about ten weeks. He was with them a great deal. more with Mar well than Preller. Preller was a travéler for a silk From were frm of London. their conversation, Mr. Powers says, they acquainted on the other side of the water, and hed long been friends. Mar- ] many Scotch words. Preller is about 5 feet 10 inches, weighing between 190 and 200 pounds, dark complexion, jet black hair and mustache; bad a nose of Jewish look and style; spoke very good English; had a slight impediment in his speech; had a florid com- plexion and had very broad shoulders; about 35 years old. Preller said, when he left here for Mon- trea] that he was going to make a trip through the States and then he was going to Australia. They both came over on the Cephalonia and stopped at Young's Hotel here, in room 18, for three days. Preller appeared to have more money than Maxwell, and when he left here nad some drafts on New York and asked Mr. Powers if he thought he could get them cashed in Boston. Mr. Powers does not know the amount. “If you wish the photograph of Maxwell we will send it to you, if you will return it when you are through. “When Maxwell left here be bought of a pawn broker a heavy Colts revolver and ten pounds of No. 44 cartridges. Respectfully, “Deaksorn & CHAPMAN, **Detectives.” Chief Harrigan has forwardel a request for the photograph mentioned in the above letter. * He Was a Dude. Wiggin & Woods’ Detective Agency of Boston forwarded by mail this morning the following de- tails: } Boston, April 15, 1885. Chief of Police, St. Louis: This morning Boston newspapers contain partic- ulars of the supposed murder in your city of Mr. Preller by Dr. Maxwell, lately from England. One of our operatives has just brought in a report, as follows: April 15, 1885, 11:30 a. M. This morning. whilst on Washington street, Mr. J.C. Murphy,who keeps the Oyster Bay Restaurant, 1231, spoke to me respecting the aileged murder in St. Louis, informing me that he knew Dr. Max- well well. He was a constant frequenter of his sa- loon, but has not seen him for some three weeks. He describes him as 28 to 30 years of age, 5 feet 3or 4 inches high, dark eyes, small, dark mustache; said be came from London, England, to Boston the early part of this year. He smokes cigarettes, and bas a small machine he carries in his pocket for rolling them. He dresses very stylishly. He is a dude. He frequently put two or three different suits on during the day. When going to the thea- ter he worea dress suit, claw-hammer coat, and crush hat. He was not dissipated. He generally drank lager beer. He had with him a very beavy gold pencil case, old-fashioned, evidently a family relic, and valuable. A few nights before he left he showed Mr. Murphy's bartender a heavy revolver, he had purchased that day, and he told him he was going South and from thence he should go to India. Yours respect, Wiectins & Woop. Mr Taylor Says it is Preller'’s Body. In justice to Mr. James Taylor, the gentleman who came here from Louisville to identify the body of Mr. Preller, and to whom some unpleasant ref- erence was made yesterday, it is fair to say that when he arrived bere yesterday hewasin a very nervous state of mind, as a result of a long journey and the shock incident to the news of the murder. Consequentiy any abruptness he might have been betrayed into in answering ques- tions that were put to him by members of the press had much to palliate it. Mr. Taylor has seen the body at the Morgue twice, and has been very deliberate in forming his judgment. He now states that he is prepared to make oath that, to the best of his knowledge and belief, the de- ceased is bis friend, Chas. Arthur Preller, whom he has known since the spring of 1883. “I met him in that spring. said Mr. Taylor, and he was then traveling for J. H. Dixon, as he seems to have been on his recent trip. I did not 800 him since his last arrival in this country and have had but one letter from him since then. I don't know Maxwell, never heard Preller speak of him and believe that he and Preller must have met aboard the steamer coming over. I know nothing that will throw any light on the murder, but I believe the motive was robbery, because Maxwell was evidently impecunious and be- cause Preller, to my knowledge, always carried plenty of money—in fact, too much. I think the fact is significant that Maxwell made no effort to meet Preller in New York, where he (Preller) had friends, but appointed to meet him here, where he had no friends, and murdered him. It has been arranged by his friends to place the body in a casket and de- posit it in a receiving vault here, where it will be held subject to order from England. I have no acguaintance with any of his relatives, except as I learned of them through him.” Orders From Abroad. The following speciai shows that the sad news has been conveyed to the parents of the dead man: By Telegraph to the Post-Dispatch. New York, April 17.—Preiler's cousin, Mr. Schles- inger, of Boone street, received the following cable this morning: “Many thanks, Must look to you kindly to see to all. [signed.] PRELLER,” per Dixon.” Mr. Dixon, who signs the telegram for the par- ents isthe employer of the deceased, and judging from his letter, is a warm friend of the young man. His letters indicate that he is deeply interested in religious and musical subjects, just as was young Preller, and he incloses a church concert pro- gramme on which he is down for a vocal solo. The Inquest To-Morrow. This afternoon Coroner Nidelet decided that he would open the inquest at 10 o'clock to-morrow morning. The stomach of the deceased is still in the hands of the chemist, but will be turned over before the completion of the inquest. It is now settled beyond doubt thatthe dead man is ©, A. Preller. It Can be Detected. A scientist who has given years of study to the use of poisonous drugs and their effects, and who uses them largely in his medical practice, stated to-day that the declaration made on the authority of some physician or other that if an alkaloid poison were used it could not be detected by science, was some real estate. The mistake was made because of the slight resemblance Mr. Daily bears to Maxwell, because the transaction took place the morn- ing after Preller was murdered, and because the money exchanged was English bank notes which would supposibly be the formin which Preller would carry part of his money. . Maxwell as Percy Read. The following from Kansas City was received to- Kansas City, Mo., April 16, 1885. Chief of Police: The man, supposed to be Maxwell, who left St. Louis on the night of the 6th for New Zea- land, via San Francisco, traveled in Pullman coach with me from Springtield, Mo., and Wichita, Kan. We were much of the time together in the smoking- room. He was quite communicative, and at parting gave me a card wscribed,in my presence, ‘Percy Read, Hafis Ho, Constantinople.” The writing berrs a marked similarity to the copy of inscription on the body of the murdered man, as pub. isued, and it may serve asaclew to identify Maxwell as the murderer, Ihave leftthe card with my firm, Harrison & Ellis, Sixth and Broadway, Kansas City. Very respectfuily, W. P. Harrison. FROM CHIEF CROWLEY. To-day Chief Harrigan received the following dispatch from Chief Crowley of San Francisco con - cerning the identification of Maxwell. As Captain Robinson will probab.y be taken in hand himseif on his arrival at Auckland, there is no need of cabie- graphing the fact contained in the telegram to New Zealand. San Francisco, April 17. L. Harrigan, Chief of Police: Capt. J. E. Robinson, from Boston, was a feliow passeoger On the same train with Daugier, and is a cabin passen, er on the City of Sydney. He knows Daugier, and can point him out to Auckland offi- cers. P. CROWLEY, Chief of Police, MET MAXWELL ON THE TRAIN. Chief of Detectives Burke has received the follow ing letter. Gian, Kan., April 15, 1885, Chief Burke, St. Louis: I have carefully read in the Post-Dispatcs of the Iich instant an account of that horrible murder at the Southern Hotel. From every description of Dr. Maxwell or Tewfik, he was the man on the San Francisco sleeper, with through ticket to San Fran- cisco. He left St. Louis on evening train, April 6th. I left the tram at Cari Junction, Mo. I have been agent tor the Auchor Milis of St. Louis for years. Mr. Caarles C. Black of Winfield, Kan., will, I think, corroborate my belief. Yours truly, JoHN McBrixz. ANOTHER LETTER. To-day the following letter was received from the same place and party: “I wrote you yesterday. I saw the Post-D1s- PATCH Of the 15th. with a picture of Dr. Maxwell. No doubt that was the man. He had the berth in car Newton, lower 6, but after changed to lower berth in state or smoker's room.

He says he had rested better than for many nights, and feels strong enough to get up and dress for the day. He has taken his nourishment without pain in swallowing, and has not since midnight been disturbed by coughing. His pulse aod temperature are un- changed. WILL RECOVER. General Geant's progress towards convalesence for the past two days, has been truly phenomenal. His physicians now openly express their opinion that he will recover. At midnight Dr. Shrady went ou duty. The light was raised in the General's room for a few minutes and then lowered, in which way it remained the remaining part of the night. The Doctor said he was prepared for any change, but did not anticipate any at present, though it would be premature to say that the General was out of danger. He felt very hopeful of the future. Senator Chaffee, who went into the house at 7:30 a. m., desires it understood that he did not mean to say that the doctors did not know what was the matter with the General, but that they might be mistaken in their diagnosis, FREE FROM PAIN. Gen. Grant has had a morning free from any un- comfortable symptoms. His general condition does not vary particularly from that noted in pre- vious statement. THROWN OVERBOARD. Gen. Grant The Terrible Fate of 400 Rebels at Colon. CMO. III., April 17.—A special from the City of Mexico says: When the troops of the Colom- bian Government finally entered Colon, after it had been burned by the rebels under the leadership of Preston, they captured several squads of rebels. During the past ten days the number of these prisopers have been considerably augmented by the receipt of straggling rebels captured in sur- rounding districts. It is uot Known now just how many rebels were thus held prisoners at Colon, but good authorities place the number at about 400. Authentic information reached this city last night that on Wednesday the officers of the Colombian Goternment selected 100 of the worst rebels im pris- oned at Colon, and placing them on board a steamer, carried them out in the bay, where the entire 100 were thrown overboard and drowned. Firebugs at Work. Lancaster, PA., April 17.—The large barn, two tobacco sheds, carriage house and all the farm buildings covering half an acre,on the farm of Israel L.

The amounts are small and total sub- scriptions are not as large as might be desired, but the progress of the work is continuous, There is no break in the regular flow of popular subscrip- tion to the great cause which at the present time appeals so strongly to every American citizen. The statue will soon arrive on the shores of America, and the only question is, will the people of this country have no proper abiding place for it? The Posrt- Dispatca believes that they will, and that the work which bas been inaugurated will grow from day to day. as it has been doing, and will result in a glorious vindication of the generous and patriotic spirit of the people of the United States, The subscriptions so far show how 9 and how deep is the interest in tbe pedestal The total of subscriptions received yesterday amounted to $35 90, which was distriduted among thirty-eight subscribers. This makes a total sus scription received up to date of $347 30, distributed among 601 subscribers, a showing of which St. Louis may well feel proud, and which gives excellent promise for the future, as the work may be considered oniy begun. PRESS INDORSEMENTS. =: Evidences of appreciation of the work are not wanting in al directions. The best element of the press is joining in everywhere. Several of the Boston pers, where the jealousy of New fork was manifested are indorsing the popular subscription plan,and the work bas been inaugurated in that city with bright prospects. In St. Louis Le Patriote, the liberal-spirited and enterprisiug French-American journal, bas given a strong and eloquent word of 1 to the efforts of the Wonko and Posr-Disrareꝝg and to the cause in general. An article of cousiderable length in its last issue takes up the subject with vigor. Beiow we g.ve extracts from the article: C'est le mois prochain que I"Isere doit quitter la France et apporter enAmerique d couvre colossale de Bartholdi, La Liberte eclairant le monde,“ don du peuple Francais au peuple des Etats-Unis; et cependunt le piedestal sur lequel eile doit etre p est encore loin d'etre termine. Depuis long temps deja les travaux sont tuterrompus faute de fonds; le cungres a refuse lallocation que le comite charge de la construction lui a demandee, les mi- lionaires de New York, avec esprit de pacriotisine qui les distingue et qui les disunguera toujours, ont noue les coruons de eur bourse, et, faute d'argent, cette ceuvre unique ep son genre aurait ete torce- ment releguee sous quelque hangard, si la presse n’avait entrepris la tache un peu difficile, peut etre, mais patriotique en tous cas, de recueijjir les fonds necessgaires aia l‘achevement du piedestal. En premiere ligne, car c'est a lui qu’en revient Vhonneur, nous devons citer le WorLD de New York qui, en une semaine a deja recueilli plus de 820,000. En second lieu, il n'est que juste, de mentionner le Post-DispatTcad de St-Louis. “Mercredi dernier ce journal contenait un elo- quent appel a nos Concitoyens.” . After quoting from the Post-Disparon it remarks further: Le lendemain enfin, un article plus e o- quent encore, mais malheureusement trop long pour etre reproduil, rappelait tout ce que St-Louis, pour ne pas dire les Etats-Unis, devait a ses foudateurs, et concluait en exprimant lefermeespoir que cette ville ne manquerait pas de figurer pour un chiffre assez cleve dans la liste d’honveur, qui doit etre conservee, de tous les donate ayant contribue a erection de ce monument.“ Nous ne pouvons qu’approuver de tout cœur nos deux confreres du WORLD et du Post-Dispatcu. Leur appel a deja ete entendu. De tous cotes les souscriptions abondent et grace a eux les traveaux du predestal, un moment abandonnes, viennent d'etre repirs et sout pousses avec vigueur.

D'abord. ce n'est pas Bartholdi qui a fait present de le statue, c'est le peuple frangais, et elle a ete executee avec les dix sous que la nation tout entiere a verses entre less mains du comite dont M. de La- boulaye etait le president.

New York, April 17.—The patriotic responses to, the WortLp's daily appeals in behalf of the Statue of Liberty are still of the most gratifying character. One feature is the apparent interest awakened out- side of the City of New York. From distant points come kind letters and substantial contibutions. They not only demonstrate the far-reaching influ- ence of the Won p, but it attests the national enar- acter of the movement. The people realize that the statue is not the tribute of Paris to the City of New York. It is a gift of the republic of France to the republic of George Washington. Yesterday's contributions amounted to $1,000 83, and the grand total is now $27,293 There is pride in the fact that this sum has been contribut- ed by 26,530 persons—the producing members of society mainly, and the people who are best able to appreciate the blessings of human liberty. We hope to be able to lift the fund to $30,000 by Saturday night. Let all the friehds of the good cause work tothis end. At the present rate of con- tribution the pedestal can be completed by the Fourth of July. At all events, when the grand statue arrives on our shores a month hence, the good news can be flashed over to France that the liberty-loving people of this great Republic have furnished a resting place for this magnificent sym- Let us all pull together with a hearty good will.

Loxdox, April 17.— Earl Dufferin, Viceroy of py dia, in a dispatch to the home Government regard. ing the Russo-Afghan boundary question, said tha in his opinion Penj-deh was not worth fighting for as the Ameer has had for a long time very little control over the tribes in its vicinity; that they wer in a continual state of revolt and a source of much uneasiness to tha meer. The latter, he believed, would willingly concede Penj-deh to Russia in ti, interest of peace, as it would also likely preven cattle raiding on the border. It is now announced that the Cabinet, after discussing Earl Dufferin message, adopted the same view of the matter, UNAUTHORIZED AND INACCURATE. It appears that the above item originated in the Central News Agency. This was the agency re ferred to in Earl Granville's statement in the Hous of Lords last night, in which he characterized ths news as “unauthorized, and always inaccuray reports.“ LUMSDEN’S REPORT. Mr. Gladstone, in the House of Commons th afternoon, stated that the Government had to- dy received from Sir Peter Lumsden a reply to their request for an independent report upon the Penj-deh incident. On this it is stated that Genera! Komaroff was aware at as carly a date as the 2th of Marcy of the understanding agreed upon on March 17 be. tween Russia and England. According to the terms of this understanding England was to deter the Afghans aud the Czar was to deter his troops from advaucing beyond tue positions they then respectively occupied until some suiigequent agreement about the demarkation of the Afghan frontier could be reached between the two governménts. The battle on the Kushk River was fought, therefore, severa! days after Gen. Komaroff had been MADE AWARE OF THE AGREEMENT to not advauce It will be remembered that Capt. Yates, a British officer who witnessed the bat- te, was assured by a Russian officer, who commanded in the gut, that be Kn w nothing of the understanding of the 17th of March. Sir Peter Lumsden's present report seems to warrant the inference that whatever Gen. Komaroff knew officially about St. Petersburg's agreement with London he kept to himself. Mr. Glad- stone, being asked if the Government had protested against the recent occupation of Pen]. deh by General Kornaroff, and his establishment of a Russian administration there, answered that the Government had not yet made either occurrence a subject of official communication with Russia. The Government was awaiting further information, the Premier said, concerning these events, STOCKS FIRM. Stocks are very frm. Consols have advanced ‘o 96% and Russian securities to 87}.

Sr. Pererssvre, April 17.—Gen. Komaroff reports that the Afghans have evacuated all the frontier posts and the Russian outposts occupy their for mer positions. Gen. Komaroff states that he wil proceed shortly to inspect his advanced posts. The Dominion, RELICS OF TWO CENTURIES AGO.

The Juniata having been ordered up the river Min to protect American citizens at Foo Chow some four or five months ago, has since been kept imprisoned there by alleged torpedoes placed in the river by the Chinese to keep out French men-ol-war. — — — ͥꝗꝙ—Fk A. — Tux British Cabinet denies that it has for- mally acquiesced in Russian movements on the Afghan frontier or surrendered Penj-deh. But the fact remains that it is submitting to Rus- sian aggressions and has surrendered Penj deh, which is now garrisoned and protected by Russian troops and controlled by a Russian provisional government. — — —— — — ẽ ̃— — WE dont want wholesale removals of Repub- lican officials, but we are astonished that none of them have had the delicacy to resign. After s0 long preaching and practicing the doctrine that to the victor belong the spoils,” how can the vanquished have the conscience to hold on to the spoils with such remarkable unanimity and such perdurable tenacity? LAND has not appeared twice in the same dress since she has been doing the honors of the White House, As her brother has no other female relative to spend his big salary on, there is really no reason for expecting any Jeffersonian simplicity from the feminine branch of the Administration. — oe — — — — ee THERE is a great deal of force and directness in Minister McLAnr’s suggestion that CLEVE- LAND should malte his administration distinct- ively Democratic by filling all the offices with Democrats. But there is also a great deal of force in the suggestion that au administration which, with the utmost honesty of purpose, bas found no better Democrat to send as Minister to England than a mine-sharking attorney, would do well to go slow in the matter of wholesale removals. THE esteemed cotemporaries that are giving us elaborate disquisitions explaining what an offensive partisan is, might simpliff the ex- run PuELrPs, who holds tothe doctrine that a L administration for the country must bea bad one for the party. The obvious corollary of the Phelps doctrine is that a, President can- not give the country a good and clean admin- istration without betraying and ruining his party, and partisan folly and perversity can- not take a more offensive form than this in connection with official life. — — —— Tur St. Louis subscriptions to the Pedestal Fund are coming in far more rapidly and are more creditable to the popular feeling than we expected. Itis not the aggregate amount of money, but the number of subscribers, the pro- portion of our people manifesting apprecia- tion and interest, that is important. The whole amount needed is certain to be raised, but it is desirable to have the contributions wide- spread, that the people may feel itis their statue—that as many as possible may say: 1 helped to put it up,” and that the people of France may feel that their memorable tribute to our country has been cordially accepted, not slighted, by the people of the United States, Ir is announced now thet the doctors differ on the question whether Gen. Grant's afflic- . tion is cancer or not, andthe wonderful im- provement in his condition has given rise to a strong hope that it is not cancer and that his complete recovery is only a question of time. It is now maintained by some who have closely studied the case that tho ulceration and gland- ular swellings are but scrofulous eruptions, a result of the low condition to which his system was reduced by his loss of sleep and appetite following the terrible shock of the Grant & Ward failure. This theory of the case and the hopeful symptoms which appear to corroborate it, will be joyfully welcomed by the whole country. — DISAPPOINTED offico-seekers may cavil at President CLEVELAND's firm adherence to the spirit and purpose of the civil service reform idea, but these cavillers are few and represent | only their own personal disappointments, not the public welfare nor the interests and views of the people. To the success and prestige of the Cleveland idea of administering public municipal machinery, by dealing firmly with hungry officeseekers and never failing to pro- tect the publio interests against private greed. — Ir is said our police authorities have no money with which to bunt down the murderer MaxXweELt and bring him back from New Zeal- and. Must the Post-Dispatcn start a sub- scription for that, too? The most startling crime that was ever committed here is now discussed wherever a newspaper is printed in any language, and the whole world is watching the flight and pursuit of the murderer. He chose our city and our most famous hotel as the scene of a dastardly murder by poison for money, and the stranger within our gates” was his victim. To let sucha criminal escape without pursuing him to the ends of the earth would be a stain upon our city and State, a stain visible all over the world. The city and the State should both offer rewards, both act promptly, and, if there is no fund or appropri- ation available for the purpose, lot the people know it and rely on their liberality to contrib- ute the necessary means. , WHEN St. Louis builds a new City Hall, it should be one commensurate with the wants and the grandeur of a city of a million inhabit- ants. The growthof the West and of her great trade centers insures such a population to the metropolis of the Mississippi Valley within two or three decades, The attempt to construct such a building now, when our debt is so heavy, our taxation so high and the inevitable demand on our revenues so pressing, would necessarily result in an abortion of a building, not answer- ing the purpose and sure to become an eye-sore and a dead loss in afew years more. In the meantime the present unsightly City Hall will continue to answer for some years longer the the temporary purpose for which it was erected —a makeshift that can be made to do until the financial condition of the city is more favorable to the erection of such a City Hall as she ought to have when she builds again. Till then we had better get along with such additions and improvements of the present building as are necessary to make the plats and records secure. So far as the lives of officials and members of the Municipal Assembly are concerned, it is as safe now as when it, was first built, some ten or twelve years ago, and they should be willing to meet in a barn, if necessary, to keep expenses down and to enable the city to begin the right sort of building a few years hence. Ovur new Municipal Government has an en- viable opportunity to make arecord of incal- culable benefit to St. Louis, and which will not be forgotten by the present generation of her tax-payers. The present strain upon the latter is borne with wonderful patience, but is too heavy to be borne patiently unless they can see at the end of it some acquisition and ulti- mate relief for the city commensurate with the burdens they bear. They see very plainly that St. Louis is overtaxed as compared with the rest of the State; that to meet her own expen- ditures her assessment has been raised too high, and that, as a consequence, she pays far more than her just share of the State taxes. And yet her debts remain, the improvements she needs are necessarily deferred, and, while her people are often threatened with a failure of their supply of muddy water, and are most on- erously taxed to pay the 80 per cent dividends for any sign of a change for the better, or for any serious and systematic attempt to curtail and keep down expenses so as to afford some prospect of an ultimate small reduction of as- sessments and taxes. Itis for relief in this direction that they look to their new city government—not asking that necessary im- provements shall be delayed or the public serv- ice crippled, but that all avoidable official and incidental expenses shall be cut off and every dollar of tax-money be guarded and ex- pended with vigilant jealousy and economy. A reduction of expenses is imperatively de- manded, and it is by showing the will and the way that the new city officers and legislators can render their constituents the best and most popular service.

KAPPNER, Business Manager. SSE What a Live Journal Can Do. New York Letter in Philadelphia Ledger. A live journal can accomplish almost anything when it puts its shoulder to the wheel. What, for instance, could be apparently more hopeless than the prospects of the Bartholdi Pedestal fund, when the WorLpD, some time since, determined to throw itself into the breach and see what could be done to lift it, so to speak, out ot the slough of despond? The great body of the public were indifferent, the wealthy capitalists were tired of being dunned, the atiempt to touch the pocket nerve by placing con- tribution, if not charity, boxes at the railway sta- tions and ferry houses resulted in no additions to the fund worth speaking of, when Mr. Pulitzer, with true Western grit and also with true Western patriotism, resolved to carry the appeal to the peo- ple en masse, and the resuit thus far abundanuy justifies bis expectations of success. Every day, for weeks past, the paper has had a brief but ring- ing editorial, calling for subscriptions from any- body and every body to avert the disgrace of having to send the statue back to France, and the call has been responded to in contributiéns amounting thus far to upward of $21,000, sent in by some 17,000 per- sons, not only in this city, but from almost all parts ofthe country. Asthis is but about one fifth of the sum required by the committee, however, Mr. Pulitzer, having “enlisted for the war,“ is bound to keep it up until victory is finally assured. If the contributions are kept up in the same ratio, he has no doubt the atatue—the grandest monument of the age—can be placed in position and dedicated on the 4th of July next. But, much as one may applaud the Won 's patriotism and public spirit, would it not be too bad if Mr. Pulitzer should be left to fight out the battle single- handed and alone? The Restored Union; From the Boston Herald. The sympathy expressed for Gen. Grant by vari- | ous associations of ex-Copfederate soldiers is a re- markabie illustration of how completely the asperi- ties of the late warhave disappeared, to be suc- ceeded by ali but universal good feeling. This change of sentiment is all the more striking wheu one takes into account the duration of feelings of of a gas monopoly, they have looked in vain |. able to hear the name of Cromwell or William of Orange mentioned without an inward sense of anger. The reason for this difference in sentiment is not difficult to find. In spite of the antagonism aroused during the period of so-called reconstruc- tion, the people of the North have in the main wished to have the South restored to its old social, mercantile and political standing, and have lent théir influence to all efforts tending in that direc- tion. The Southern people have realized that the war was not destined to leave, as other wars have done, its traces bghind it in the form of an oppressed or dishonored people, and hence there has been little or nothing for the spirit of sectional hatred to feed itself upon. If the great nations of Europe had adopted a similar policy of reconciliation after their various wars, the condition of Europe would now be very different from what it is. Two Civil Rights Cases. From the Chicago Herald. A few days ago a colored man named Richard 8 Brown, accompanied by two of his grandchildren, attempted to buy tickets toa skating rink in Bos- ton. The manager, who was inthe box office, re- fused to sell them, avd when Brown asked if he was to be discriminated against because of his color, he was knocked down and thrown out of the building. Brown bad the manager arrested for as- sault, and the defense made was that no more vio- lence hed been used in putting out the plaintiff than was necessary. On this showing the man- ager was dismissed by the Court, and Brown was sent about his business. Afew weeks agoa colored woman, who had brought a suit against a hotelkeeper in Tennessee for refusing to give her accommodations, was con- fronted by the landlord's attorney with the asser- tion that the civil rights law had been pronounced unconstitutional by the United States Supreme Court. The Judge promptly overruled a motion to dismiss the case, saying that the woman's com- plaint would lie under the common law, the same as in any other action of that nature. These two incidents, bearing on the civil rights of the negro, are of interest because of the locali- ties in which they occurred. The Very Newest Scheme for Lovers. From the Savannah (Ga.) News. Greensboro has a certain young gentleman who has lately been enchained in the silken fetters of cupid, and thoughts of the fair enchantress con- stantly ll his mind. He has a special book, in which during the week he notes down the thoughts which occur to him about his lady love. When Su nday comes, he visits her, armed with the note- book, and proceeds to read therefrom the most tender expressions which have occurred to him from time to time. Profitable Patriotism, From the New York World. | The late President Barrios of Guatemala, who according to the Tribune ‘cooked after his own in- terests while shedding the beneficent rays of his philanthropic intellect upon an oppressed peopie. left a fortune of $10,000,000. He accumulated his money in the service of the people. The late Mr. Barrios was a gigantic robber, and it would have been just as well forthe Republic of Guatemala if his official and physical career bad ended ten years sooner than it did. The Disappointed. From the New York World. Mr. Phelps, the new Vermont Minister to En- gland, announces that he means to retain in the service of the Legation the present force of secre- taries, assistants and clerks. This will probably be a disappointment to a number of worthy and am- bitious persons who voted for Mr. Cleveland and who have been looking forward io a pleasant so- journ in London. MEN OF MARK.

What the Editers of the New York Journals are Saying To-day. By Telegraph to the Post-Dispatch. New York, April 17.— The Wortp says: Now., that Gen. Grant is able to smile at reporters in the street, ‘write his own health bulletins, and dines at the family table, we trust that there will be a sub- sidence on the part of the scientific physicians.” THE SUN. ; The Sun says: “The improvement in Gen. Grant's condition steadily continues. Itis now ascertained that his disease is not cancer, and there is no rea- son, in his physical orgonization, why he should not recover th entirely.” THE TIMES. The Times says: “It is unfortunate that Mr. Keiley, the new Minister to Italy, should hold or should have expressed views concerning the rela- tions of the Pope and the King of Italy which might impair the cordiality of his acception at the Qui- rinal. But in matters of this kind it is always to be assumed that a Minister is acceptable until the con- trary is demonstrated. and as it has not been yet shown that the propriety of Mr. Keiley's appoint- ment is questioned at the Italian Court, th viously no other course than for him 10 — oe his post and present his credentials. If he is a man of ordinary discernment it will not take him long to decide whether the sentiments he so frankly and — d in Richmond, fourteen years ago, will be asource of present discomfort to him in Rome.” a THE TRIBUNE. The Tribune says: “The striking glass-blowers of South Baltimore are engaged in an undertaking not only criminal, but contemptible.

Sunday pigh; meeting, aud in that time, his voice has not bees heard in the association’s hall. Now, howerer, whether because of the absence of the former see. retary, or of a recognition of the value of Mr. Gar. rison’s labors, an invitation has been extended to him to deliver an address at the afternoon meeting for young men next Sunday. Those who remem. ber the remarkable success that attended Mr. Garrison's Sunday nigh’ sospe! meetings at the . A., see in this invitation a desire on the part of those interested in the V. M. C. A. work to again have Mr. (Carri. son's powerful assistance secured for a: least one night every week. That he is appreciated eise where, is evidenced by the fact that iu the few weeks he has been separated from the X. M. G. A. he has be'd revivals at the Carondelet Methodist Church, Trinity Methodist Episcqpal, Olive Bravch Conzrega'tional, East St. Louis, Tower Grove Chap- el and Marvin Chapel, besides preaching at sundiy other times and places. After the tide of church unity enthusiasm had ebbed, a number of evangelical preachers wandered around on the sands wondering how they happened to get their feet wet. Rev. Leander Hallock, M. E. missionary in this city, sa dit was simply a scheme to catch recruits. and that the Episcopal Church, after trying in vain to succeed for years on the old lines, was now coming around and agreeing to come down out of the tree, where it has long been hid alonein the shadows ot exclusiveness Rev. J. E. Godbey, editor of the Southwestern Methodist, said thar the Methodists had had the down right alongand they could not go any further. Allthe evangelical churches are, in his estimation, as nearly unified as they can be, if there isto be no sacrifice of principle, which was the leading ideain alithis unity work. He could not see but the Episcopalians would haye to make all the advances. All the Baptists, Methodists aud others met in the Evangelical Alliance and and sung t er. It was the latter’s privilege, and no other’s, to do all the work for church unity. Rev. Wm. E. Hall of the First Christian Church said: They are coming around to our position. We started out to christianize the worid, to unify the sects; I think we are doing it If the Church Congress results in anything, and they to harmonize, what name can they take! Not Methodist, the Baptists would object; not Baptist, the Presbyterians would say no; nothing but the name Christian, on which they could ogres Our only rule and authority is the Bible. When these harmoniz*ng sects come to choose their guive, away will go their creeds, and they will have to come down to the plain Bible, We took the name of Christian fifty years ago, not to singe ourselves out, but to estabiish a name that would exist and row more glorious when all the creeds had fade! rom the earth. I think the singular felicity of that choice is being established. : The successor of Mr. Doug!ass, as secretary of the city V. N. C. A., is still an unknown individnal w the majority of those who are desirous of hearug of the success of the association. At the Presbyte rian ministers’ meeting Monday, it was the generaly expressed opinion that Mr. Coxhead, the press State secretary, would be the person, and that & temporary occupancy of the position is simply s clearing of the way to that result. Mr. Douglas himself stated that the new secretary would, with out question, be obtained from without the city, 44. vanc as a reason for this disregard of home talent, the idea that the secretary would necessarily have to be aman of wide experience in the mar agement of association work. In these respectivé statements there seems to be an evident conflict, for if Mr. Coxhead should be made permanent #¢ retary, Mr. Douglass’ position woud certainly de set aside, mmxsmuch as it does not follow, because y man ha made an excellent State secretaly. that he is qualified to successfully carry throws! the arduous labors necessitated by the spre needs of a metropolis iike St. Louis. At the sam time it does not follow that he would not, but be mption is always against one who has not bal — experience with metropoliton methods a ways. Nor is it easy to understand from t.e pre ent financial condition of the V. M. C.

CAN'T CHANGE THE COLLAR, No Fear That the Favorite Neckwear Will be Displaced. “Don't you fret about the dog-eared collar running the choker out,“ said a Broadway gents’ furnisher to-day to a Post-Dispatcu reporter. “You may have seen accounts in Eastern papers about the disposition of the dudes to adopt that style, but you can rest assured that the dog-eared collar had its origin only in the shallow brain of a fop. There is no reason for its ex- istence at all. The present choker collar, although designated by that name, is very diff er- ent froin the choker of the olden days, inasinuch as it is at least one-vaif lower. The advautages se sed by the closed standing collar are so obvious that they scarcely need repeating, and they are what have given it an unluuited run for the past four years. In the first piace, they always look stylish. This you can prove by going into a ball- room or recepuion where the dressing is elaborate, and noticing how singuiarly harmonious a finieh to a gentieman's toilet it makes, sui the opencst kind of coat and vest front or the highest cut of waistcoat. There is nothing neater than the closed collar with a black tie or white bow. It bear on its very face an aristo- cratic air. It brings back at once memories of the dignified clerics, lordly noblemen, and our famous ancestors. Webster.

This adaptation to the neck of the wearer is not possible with the collar whose points are turned outward, be it never so little.

The Proposition to be Submitted to Congress Next Session. — — A Tribunal to Try Military and Naval Officers for Frauds and Other Serious Offenses—The Abuses of the Court-Martial System Admiral Porter and Rear Admiral Rowan. Special Correapondence of the Post-Dispatch. Wasuinoron, April 14.—It is probable that a prop- osition will be submitted to Congress at an early day next session, looking to the estabiishment of a special court for the trying of particular offenses in the army and in the navy. The object of this court will be to secure a more perfect administra- tion of justice for offenses purely military, The system of court-martials will But for frauds and serious faults. it is held by those who have made a study of court-martial trials that more | perfect justice would be secured through the means of an independent court. It is bard to get officers to take a proper view of the shortcomings of their associates. The Swaith court-martial was one of the worst travesties upon the trials of justice that has ever been known in Washington. Through its notoriety and prominence it has done more to bring court-martials themselves into | disrepute than anything that has happened for a long tine. It is the result of this trial which has so stirred up members to con- sider an independent proposition looking to the es- tablishment of other means of trying army and navy offenders. Swaim has been pushing himself upon the Secretary of War for the last week seek- ing restoration. It was only yesterday that his counsel completed their argument before Mr. Endicott. Swaim was at the head of the system of so- called justice in the army, and yet was proved to be in every way unfitted to hold the humblest posi- tion in the Bureau of Justice. In these court-martials one officer is detailed to act as recorder. It is his duty to present both the — tion and the defense. Itis an impossibility or any one to such a position im- partially. The records of all the court- martiats show that the members composing them are influenced in their actions by their likes and their dis kes. A prominent ofiicer of the army in commenting on the verdict in the Swaim case said “it was not many years ago that the General of the army summoned before hima poor Second Lieuten- ant to ask him for certain information about the conduct of some of his associate officers during certain Northwestern border troubles between this country and Canada. This young fellow suppressed certain facts in his statement Hause he dii pot wish to reflect upon his associates. For this he vas dismissed from the army. Swaim's offense was much greater than this, in this one regard. The Secretary of War called upon him for certain information and he willfully misled and deceived him. For such an offense any of the subordinate officers of the army would have been dismissed with very short notice.” * ° = The army people themselves admit that there should be some reform in their methods of trying offenders. They believe that Congress could sim- pluly matters very much by ehact- ing a law specifying a certain class of offenses which might be punished by the commanding officer of the department without going through the form of a court martial. There are a number of petty offenses which could be reached directly in thie way. Both economy and discipline would be the gainers by such au act. a * The two chief officers of the navy are Porter and Brown. They have expressed opposite views upon the possibility of war between Logiajd and Russia. Porter thinks there will be no war. Brown is certain there will Porter does not agree with any officers of the service upon any given subject. He is one of the mos. eccentric and independent of men. At the same time he is very unpopular with the officers. He is very careless in his statements. His recent article in the Century Magazine has brought down a storm of criticism upon his head on accountof the iucorrectness of the historical facts related by him. Porter is the only one of the older officers of he pavy who seems to have much literary ability. He bas a perfect pas- sion for writing, and although he is confined to his room witha broken leg, is panumg another nanti- cal novel. The Vice-Admirai, Rowan, who is next to him in rank, is his very Opposite, m almost every particular. Rowan is a very cold, conservative man, who is not inclined to tak very much and writes even less. He is aman of great common sense and very wide information. He is a much more dignified character than porter end in the event ot au emergency would be better fitted to take supreme command than Porter. He has more of the contideoce aad liking of the officers of the navy than Porter. Heisa very tall, distinguished looking oi! venileman. He stoops sligutly with the advancing years. His ficure is still quite slim. He has a large head. His white hair is N thin upon the top of his head. His forehead is very broad and very high. His eyes are a dead cold biue, deeply set under a pair of very pronounced eyebrows. Iiis nose is a large shapely Reman. A snowy white mustache sweeps dowa aud hides the line of his mouth. His complexion is a grey sallow. He lives very quietiy and spends the greater part of his time in reading. He goes out in general society but litte. It is the ambition of his ite to become Aumiral before he dies, but Porter is hale and hearty, and will un- doubtedly outlive him, accidents excepted. The army and navy peopie talk of nothing but war news. They are ae & honing that there will be a flgit between Russia and England. There are no philanthropists inarmy and navy circles, Ifa war is declared between t two countries, there will be a fierce struggie among the officers to be sent abroad as observers. It has been the custom of this country, whenever there has beer a foreien war, to pick out a number of the most intelligent of the vounger officers, and send them over to oc- cupy ts as professional witnesses. Such an experience is of great value. They regard a war as a school where they can take what is called a post-graduate course. ore tian that, it affords them an opportunity oftento make a reputation which is so slow eto come to any officer, however worthy, in the days of sluggish peace. Lieutenant Greene of the engineer corps, Who was sent as our military representative to our Legation at 8. Petersburg, made a great reputation for him- self in his reporis tothe War Department. Through these reports he was enabled to prepare one or two special books on Russia aed her military heroes, which brought him a handseme profit in the way of reputation aud revenue. e*«s Civilians often wonder how officers can be found who will volunteer to go upon the Arctic expeditions. It is the restless desire upon the of officers to achieve reputa- tion and a name for themseives which causes them to volunteer in these hopeless attempts. When volunteers can be found for Arctic expeditions, it is easy to understand that the number of officers de- sirous of special service abroad during a foreign war would take in the entire army list.

A Lively Mill Between Two Amazons of the Stage. 8 — How Maggie Arlington Resented a Reflec- tion on Her Personal Attractions— A Boasted Conquest Evokes a Sarcastic Re- mark From Miss Cherie, for Which She Gets Severely Punished. By Telegraph to the Post-Dispatch. New York, April 17.—Mrs. Ruth Adelaide Green fleld, whose stage name is Adelaide Cherie, and Mrs. Margaret Jewett, known on the stage as Mag gie Arlington, were in the Jefferson Market Court yesterday, with three lawyers anda cloud of wit nesses. Miss Cherie has been under the care of two physicians for a month, and has sued Miss Ar lington for $10,000 damages for assault. They lived in the Abbotsford Apartment House, on Sixth avenue, at the date of the assault. Miss Arlington was the first in court yesterday. She is a tall, well- built woman, with light yellow hair and a fair com- plexion. She wore a black satin dress,a heavily beaded black mantilia anda jaunty black straw hat, trimmed with red. Miss Cherie, who starred for two seasons in “Only a Farmer's Daughter.“ and played the Countess De Launcy in The Pavements of Paris last year, is at least a head shorter than her assallant. She is stout and dark-haired and wore a dark blue cloth dress and a fur-trimmed sealskin cloak. Her small hands were encased in yellow kid gloves, and her round straw hat was trimmed with blue. Her eyes were still discolored.and her face was pale. Her story and that of her witnesses is this: On March 12. Miss Cherie,who has been married, and has a son 2U years old, was out all day, aud returned to the Abbottsford on time for dinner. She sat down in the pubſ o dining- room with the other diners. Miss Arlington came in, Miss Cherie says, looking very merry, as if she had had a good time. Miss Arling- ton related with considerable spirit that she had met a perfect gentieman, who is said to be the son of an ex-Governor of Connecticut. He treated me with the greatest consideration.“ Miss Cherie re- ports Miss Arlington as saying, and we had A VERY ENJOYABLE TIME. He was very auxious tuat I should marry him. Odd, ain't it,” added Miss Arlington with a sigh, “that all the gentlemen l meet should treat me with such deference and be so anxious to marry me?’ “Oh, Chestnut,’ remarked Miss Cherie. That is what she says she said. She left the dining-room laughing, and went out to tell Mrs. Crossiey the news. Mrs. Crossley and Miss Cherie laughed long and heartily, and Miss Cherie kept on laughing alithe way upto her own room. She came down stairs again and was going to Mrs. Crossley's room to discuss the Arlington question further. Just outside Mrs. Crossley’s door, she says, she heard Miss Arlington, who was in the room, say: Iean't tell what prevented me from picking up a caster and braining that woman in the public dining hall.” Miss Cherie walked into the room and was about to sit down in an easy rocking, chair, when, as she says. Maggie Arlington stood up towered over her, and said threateningty: “lo you know that I'm going to brain you!“ “Oh, you wouldn't touch me,” Miss Cherie says she said calmiy. Then she says Miss Arlington took her by the shoulders, picked her up bodily, carried her and threw’ her on the lounge, put her knees on her chest and showered blows on her face and neck. iss Arlington had a sealring and sev- éral diamond rings on ber fingers, and the biows hurt, and Miss Cherie felt as if she was suffocating. “Stop! Stop!“ she cried; “don't murder me. She says Miss Arlington con- tinued her biows, swore savagely at her, threw her ou her knees ov the floor, f TORE HER HAIR, and tried to trampie on her with her feet, Which,“ Miss Cherie says, but not on oath, “are a yard long. “Mrs. Crossly interfered,” Miss Cherie said: “she threw herself on the big Arrington end sat on her while Iran out screaming for help.” By this time quite a crowd had gathered, and Ed. Taylor, a theatrical manager, and a Mr. French, an engineer, helped her to her room. Dr. Arthur Hüls aud Dr. Bryaut were hastily called in. They found that Cherie's head was bruised, her face disfigured, and her scalp lacerated. She was aiso suffering from general shock and enteritis, produced by the koees of her assailant. Sue seut for the wife of Manager Hickey, who remained with her all night. At4a.m. Cherie says, Arlington, whose room adjoined hers with a locked door in the partition, tried to force the door, erying: “Lili kill you yet. You'll not live till sun- rise. Mrs. Hickey ran for a policeman, but two colored waiters restored order. Two days later, Miss Arlington left the Abboisford. Miss Arlington is the widow of a Western gentieman, was born in Lawrence, Mass, and is now lung at the Ged- ney House, Fortieth street and Broadway. Her last appearance here was in Orpheus and Eurydice” at tue Bijou Opera Liouse. By advice of ber lawyer,she declined to m»Ke any statement yesterday, beyond den ing Cherie’s statemen's. Her answer in the civil suit demies many of Cherie's allegations and justifies what is not denied by alleging that the plaint.ff had attacke! her character. Justice Smith adjourned the examination yesterday to Thursday, Aprii 30, at the Tombs. Miss Arlington was paroled in the custody of her lawyers. Ex- Senator Grady is one of them. Mr. J. D.

The barber’s trade is one of the most import antin Persia. the customs enjoined by the Koran, or religious law, make it indespensible that barbers should abound in this country. The Koran makes it honorable for a man wear a beard, but commands the shaving of th head. There are two great sects among thosa who accept the Mahommedan faith, the Shes and the Sunnees, The latter are all Turks and they shave the whole crown, excepting a tui in the center by which the archangel ms draw them out of the grave.

The Sheriff of Lansing, Mich., Arrives This Morning to Take Home a Runaway Hus band—A Young Girl's Plain Confession of Gullt— Her Companion's Hypocritical Fabrication. This morning the Sheriff of Lansing, Mich., ar- rived in the city with a requisition for W. d. Mo- Millan, a prisover at the Four Courts. McMillan is wanted to answer a charge now standing against him at Lansing. Yesterday a telegram was received from that place stating that he bad disappeared, taking with him a young girl named Mary Moore. They were supposed tobe in this city, and a de- scription was accordingly forwarded. Detectives O'Neil and Armstrong arrested the couple at the City Hotel, Fourth and Eim — 2 aie vy — as chere was no charge against toe girl. she w mitted to return to the hotel. McMillan was ocked up at the Four Courts. Early this morning, the girl called at the Four Courts and asked to see Mei lau. She was tastily dressed and her face wasinnocent of int or powder. Her manner was ret ring. and while at the police headquarters she avoided the attention of everybody as much as possible, standing near & window which cut her off from view. She wore a brown dress neatly mada, a small horseshoe bonnet and a circular. When asked if she would make a statement of her relations with McMillan she said: “Yes, sir; I won't conceal anything. My name is Mary Moore. Iam 22 years old. My father is a wheelwright at Lansing. Mich. Both my parents live in Lansing, and a better father and mother do not live anywhere in the world. While at home I made the acquaintance of a woman to whom I must trace my trouble. I will not give her name. She keeps A ing- house. 1 don't say anything about her conduct, though it may not have been w should. At any rate she and her husband did not agree. Mr. McMillan boarded at the house and I was introduced to him by the proprietress herself, She did not teil me that he was a marmed man, but he was manly enough himself totell when I came to know him. I was inthe habit of visiting this house where he boarded, and our intimacy spran up in this way. I do not blame him at all. After learned that he was a married man I still went with him aod was willing to come to St. Louis to live with him. HE TRIED TO DISCOURAGE ME, but I wanted to go with him and we came, arriving here on the 8d inst. I saw the husband of this woman at whose house | met Mr. McMillan on the streets in this city, and I believe that he sent word home about me.“ “What are your plans?” “IT don't know what I shall do.“ “Will you go home again?” “No. I'd rather die. go to work here if I can get anything to do here. I have taught school, but I hate children and would rather do anything eise. I want to get a place as a bookkeeper or salesiady or anything 1 want to make an bonest living and do not want to become depraved."’ Chief Burke heard the girl's story and said: “We will do what we can for you, and if your money gives out before you get anything to do come back The girl promised to call again if in need of assist- ance, but refused to listen to any proposition about going home, saying that she would not go to bring more shame on her father and mother. MR. M MILLAN was seen in the Four Courts calaboose’ where the impression prevails that tue place is too good for him. Unlike the girl, who charitably offered to take the blame. he evinced a desire to shift it, but does not succeed well in his despicable undertaking. He etated to-day that his name is McMahon and not McMillan, and when asked about the case pleaded the virtuous conduct. “IT have done nothing wrong,” ain he. Ioulr tried to save a poor girl. I wanted to reform her.“ When questioned about his peculiar methods of re- forming her, he said: “I was introduced to the gil inher father’s house by a man who told me she was not virtuous. 1 thought it a pity. When I spoke to her about her conduct she said she had lost her good name and wanted to goaway, but had no money. 1 told her I was going to Missouri and that I would take her to St. uls. where she could get work.

Specia Correspondence of the Post-Dispatch. Wasnineton, April 15.—A prominent railroad official. who is connected with one of the leading, Western railroads? isin Washington visiting. He. says that the Western railroads, are not doing well and that no one need expect to see any rise in val- uesin Western stocks this year, based upon any good reason. He thinks that they are rated too high at present. No increase of business will help the Western roads. They have now about all the business they can haudle. The trouble dill of the time is to keep up the rates, so as to make a reason- able margin of profit. The competition of the various lines is go great that the rates cannot be kept up. He says further that the railroad peo- ple are looking about, trying to economize. They have begun to consider the question of cutting down The wages of theiremploye They dread to take this step for fear the riotous scenes of 1877 will be repeated. There has been a greatimprovement in the discipline of the various labor organizations. The Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers has be- come a compact, powerful corporation in itself. Without the consent of this brotherhood it would be impossible for any railroad to reduce the pay of a single engineer member. Every engineer of any value is to-day enrolled in this association. A gen- eral strike ordered by this organization would stop the trains on every lins in the country. The work- ing men employed by the railroads understand that their employers are seeking to cut down wages, and are ready to resist. The attempt the other day to reduce the wages of the men in the employ of the bankrupt Wabash was done for the purpose of throwing out a feeler in the direction of a general reduction ju wages. The emp!oyes of the Missouri Pacific, another of Mr. Gould's roads, saw that the move was directly against them. They struck before the reduction reached them. This railroad official says that the only way that wages can be reduced now, is through agreement with the representatives of the laborers. Soms- times these men are very reasonable, and when they are shown that a reduction is absolutely necessary, they will yield. Then the railroad of- ficia!s have adopted diplomatic means for coercing these representatives of the laborers. This railroad official says that when they find them too obstinate, they simply bu the leaders outright. He makes the remarkable statement, that there is not a single leader in the various trades unions throughout the country who has not been bought at various times. The peopie under them do not seem to mind it even where dis. coveries are made, They regard the money paid to their leaders as just so much money taken out of the pockets of the hated corporations. He says that he has no doubt but what the manufacturers have learned this lesson of the railroads. There are fewer strikes to-day than ever. and this is owing to the fact that the leaders of laborers have a very good understanding with their employers. The t has not yet been acce „was contracted for at the price of $315,000. The Ad- visory Board has allowed $16,000 in addition to this. Mr. Roach bas been paid $275,500, there is a balance of $54,000 to be paid to him, when Mr. Whitney ac- cepts the vessel. The Dolphin is not a good vessel. The Advisory Board was made up of men friendly to Mr. Roach, or it never would have been accepted by them. It hasbeen shown since Mr. Whitney came in that bad material was permitted to go into the ship. It is charged that broxen and cracked frames were put up in the Dolphin. This vessel as she now stands is inferior in every respect in speed and quality to any one of the vessels of her class of the foreign navi The Advisory Board has the advantage of comparing the Dolphin with vesse recently constructed by the British na It is inte to compare the vy. resting Dolphin with the Scout, a Seel — been completed by the British navy. The Scout's contract price was $133,000. The contract cost of the Dolphin is just 32.000 less. Yet the scout is a vessei with a twin screw, against the sin- gie screw of the Dolphin, with an indicated horse power of 8,200, against 2,300 of the Dolotin. Her draft tm 18% feet, — 15 feet of the Dolphin. Although sue is 2) feet shorter in length than cruiser, which has the Dolphin, she has a capacity for 450 tons of coal, against 810 for the Dolphin. She can 180 men, nst & 1 in the Dolphin. The Scout is four five-inca guns against one six inch gun on the Dolphin. The gain in space in the Scout is made by leaving very modest quarters for her officers. There isa large amount of space wasted in the Dolphin to provide luxurious quarter for the offi- cers. The Dolphin engine is vertical the same as in a merchant vessel. It could be easily disabled. The engines of the Scout are horizontal and are pro- tected by a light steal deckScout is a war vessel while the my 4 will not be of much more use in case of a wur than would any ordinary merchant vessel. The failure to brink her up to the recogmzed siandard of speed. is also a fatal objection to her. Jobn Roach has caused a ragraph to be printed, saving that the Russian verninent is anxious to take this and the other contract vessel off from his hands. The Government would do well to let them go. 2 * A confident admirer of Minister Phelps lost $10 yesterday backing the new Minister's correctness as a scholar. In the stupid letter of Mr. Phelps to Congressman Stewart, in which he attempts to give humorous advice to a member of Congress, he says “Nil desperandum,” and credits this phrase to Cic- ero. A clerk at the Capitol yesterday asserted that Cicero never used x ow and that it was orig- inal with Horace. admirer of Mr. Pheips ventured $10 upon the correctness of Mr. ＋ 4 quotation. A Search in the libr brought out the fact that the clerk was right. Nil desperandum“ occurs iu the eiguth Ode of Horace. * 2 Some people have raised the question as to whether Mr. Lamar ever had his disabilities removed by Congress. A friend of his toid me yesterday that he had. This was done just before he was admit ed to the House. Mr. Lamar considered himself dis- qualified to hold office under the Third Section of Article XIV of the Constitution without res- — aw Before going into the campaign there- ore, he had some of h's Mississippi friends here to introduce a bill removing disabili- ties. Isaid the other day that Jefferson Davis was the only prominent Confederate whose dis- abilities had never been removed. It ap there is anotner. Robert Toombs has steadily re- fused to ask to have his disabilities removed. He gays that he will not recognize the Uuited States Government to such an extent as to ask a favor of it. I suppose that Mr. Toombs holds that there is really no such Government in legal e . Mr. Davis said the other day toa Southern geutle man that he preferred to rem as he was, for the reason that he never intended to seek any offi or to ever enter politics again. T. O. Cnawrond.

The particulars of tne crime for which Thomas Samon was hanged to-day are as follows: Thomas Samon was the perpetrator of one of the most fiendish crimes ever committed in New Hampshire, his victims Mrs. Jane rord aged about 60 ears, John Ruddy, ty 45, and his little boy, k, 18 months old, who lost their lives Novem- ber 24 and 25, 1888. Samon, then a married man, had boarded with Mr. and Ford, — and, with the ve Both were more or less . Samon was well acquainted with the Ruddy 2 having been quite a constant visitor there. On the after- noon of Saturday, November 24, he came there, having with him a wheelbarrow, upon which was a large trunk. r. Ruddy was not home, but bis wife gave Samon permission toremove the trunk, which seemed very heary when lifted into the house, and also told him he might remain there that night, if her husband didn’t object. When he returned from work, Mr. Ruddy readily assented to this, and all retired about 9o'clock. Samon arose ut 4 o'clock Sunday morning, and in passing rough the apartment oc- cupied by Mr. and Mrs. Ruddy, awoke them. and they saw him look out into the street. They both got up, and Mr. Ruddy followed’ him into the kitchen soon afterwards. Mrs. Ruddy heard some- thing fall, and going to the door leading tothe k.tchen she saw her husband hanging over a chair. arms down. No sooner had she appeared than Samon rushed upon her, struck her upon the head with a batchet and felled her tothe floor. Mean- while the little child had been awakened by the dis- turbance in the kitchen, and began to cry. As soon as Samon had knocked Mrs. Ruddy down, he went into the front room, and going to the bed where the baby lay, he killed it, nearly SEVERING THE HEAD FROM THE BODY with a hatchet. He then retired to the kitchen and dealt Mrs. Ruddy, who had arisen in the hopes of making her escape from the house before he came from the front room, another blow on the bead with the axe, again prostrating her on the floor. Having. as he supposed, killed all the members of the family, he ged the bodies of Mr. Ruddy and the baby to where the wife and mother lay. made a pile of them, and took a feather aud straw bed and placed them on the bodies. He saturated these with kerosene oil, and, after setting them on fire, esca from the house. No sooner had he gone than Mrs. Ruddy, who, although suffering terribly from the effects of her injuries, was able to realize what was taking plac, dragged herself to the front window and, after a desperate effort, succeeded in arousin some of the neighbors. Fortunately, help arri before serious harm was done by fire either to the bodies of Mr. Ruddy and the baby or to the house. In the chamber opening off from the kitchen was THE brought to the houss discovered the body been madeto destroy LARGE TRUNK by Samon, and in which was Mrs. Ford. An effort had the trunkand contents by igniting a lot of bedding, which had been placed upon aud about the trunk and then sprinkled arith kerosene oii, When Mrs. Ford’s remains were re- moved from the trunk it was discovered that the had been chopped off near the knees, and that the limbs had been bent up and tied down tothe body with a piece of e Une, The murderer had found it necessary to mutilate the body in this shocking manner in order to get it into the trunk. Mrs. Ruddy had thirteen wounds on her rson. One hand was nearly cut off at the wrist, two fingers were cut off. and there were also several ugly cuts on her hands and face. Samon was cap- tured near Portsmouth, and confessed his crimes. He is an Irishman and about 40 years old. The Execution at Ft. Smith. By Telegraph te the Post-Dispatcn. Fr. Sura. AK., April 17.—The execution of William Phillips, convicted of the murder of his father-in-law, William Hill, takes places at 8 o'clock this afternoon. PHILLIPS AND HIS CRIME. William Philups cruelly and in cold biood assas- sinated William Hill, who was his father-in-law. They were neighbors on the bank of the Arkansas river, in the Cherokee Nation, Indian Territory. A bitter enmity of long standing existed between them. They had frequent difficulties. Finally Philips avowed he would kill Hill. He carefully planned his purpose and skillfully adopted means to evade arrest or even create suspicion. On the 8th of last September he borrowed a double barrelled shotgun from a neighbor for the P sok genes he said, of killing wild turkeys, He loaded the gun heavily and started through the woods. His course led him to Hill's house. Awaiting in the vicinity until midnight, he stole up to an open window near where his victim lay in bed asleep, and placing the muzzie of the gun against the body of the sleeping man, fred both barrels in rapid succession. The murder for some time was a mystery. Phillips was finally suspected and arrested. The evidence against him was pu circumstancial. He made astrong fight for his life, his case occupying the attention of the court for two weeks. Two Italians Hanged. Tuomaston, Me., April 17.— Two Italians named Capone and Santore were hanged here to- day for the murder and robbery ofa fellow work- man on & railroad, about eightéen months ago, Moloney’s Bonnets. ‘What is the dry goods world without millinery? Moloney was wise tn this day and generation to put into his new store a stock of new bonnets, trimmed in Paris, many of them, and nove! shap es, which are the admiration of the ladies, because of their beauty and cheapness. There is certainly no collection of hats or bonnets in St. Louis sold as dis- proportionately to their worth as T. F. Moloney's. That is his lookout, If he feels like making a free giftof so many bows, buckles and embroidered etamine strings, as the ladies call the new trim- ming, so much the better for those who buy. Next thing to a new and lovely bonnet, of course, is a wrap to match it in the very latest style. Mo- loney’s capes and wraps are so low as to make people wonder how he does it. His new house is light as day, filled with the latest fashions and easy of access. 615, 617 Broadway. EXPOSITION MATTERS, Meeting to Fix Railroad Rates—A Silk Ex- hibit—The Florists. The R. T.

Mapleson Company — Curcaqao, fun, April 17.—Madame Adelina Patti has written to Col. Mapleson announcing that she will be unable to fulfillthe New Yorkand Boston engagements, owing to ill health and the impera- tive orders of her physician to cease work for sev- eral weeks. Toarepresentative of the Associated Press this morning she said she had felt the neces- sity of retiring fora time, and this had been forci- bly impressed upon her by reasonof her heavy work in this city. She would therefore obey her physician, and would sail at once for England from New York. Incidently she remarked that her di voros from De Caux was absolute, and that she could now sing in France without having her sal- ary attached under her nuptia! contract. She ex- pœets to remain in her castle in Wales for several months, and theu expects to sing in London, Paris and possibly in St. Petersburg. COST OF THE DIVOROR.

At the opera festival last night Nevada's appearance in Rigoletto“ before an immense audience was again the cause Of tumult among the audience. At the conclusion of the third act, which ended witha duel between Nevada and De Anna, Nevada was resented with a floral harp surrounded by small gsofthe Union. She grasped one of the tiny flags with the evident intention of waving it, but was unable to get it off. Ine applause which followed in the track of the song. and the innocent demon- stration over the flowers occupied fully fifteen min- utes. The first demonstration on the part of Lhe house was almost natural, but when the hand-élappin of those who are accustomed to applaud a g thing for what it is worth ceased, the noise contin- ued. The curtain rose and Mile. Nevada aod De Anna acknowledged their compliments. Still the noise went on. Sing it: “Sing it again,“ and like expressions were heard from the back seats and the holders of standing-room tickets. Mlle. Neva- da and De Anna finally appeared before the cur- tain, but this was not sufficient to puta stop to the uproar. Nevada wasin excellent humor, but De Anna may have been somewhat annoyed for all his appearance indicated. Although the applause ‘continued, he refused to appear, and Mile. Nevada came out alone. He went as far as the door and aue tried to pull him after her, but failed. Once more she came out alone and walked entirely across the stage, making expensive gestures, which, in the language of parntomime, meant, “be will not come and the management will not let us sing.

It was evident that Mile. Nevada and ber friends had Been ex- ceedingiy liberal in the distribution of complimen- tary tickets. Something had to be done to chan the superficial aspect of things, and Mile. Nevada ingeniously hit upon the scheme. The enthusiastic audience must pay homage to Mr. Ferd W. Peck, president of the Opera Association. This would make it appear that all the enthusiasm was to be traced to a purely artistic appreciation of merit, and show at the same time, that it could not only applaud Mile. Nevada, but the whole festival through its official symbol, President Peck. Ac- cordingly a messenger was sent to Mr. Peck’s box in breathless haste to announce io him that there was trouble on the stage, and that his immedi&te attention was re- quired. He at once rushed to the stage. Scarcely had he reached it when Mile. Nevada grasped him by both hands and pulled him out on the stage, saying: “I want you to appear with me before the foot fights.” At the same time some one in Mr. him Mile. a 2 Nevada greatly in efforts to get him before the audience. Once in the center of the platform, Me. Nevada said to Mr. Peck, loud enough tobe heard by the audience, I was determined that you should come on the stage.” Then with Mr. Peck she continued on her way across the stage. Mr. Peck said to a reporter, who called upon him afterward, that he was very much annoyed at being taken by surprise, and forced upon the stage in a way which would seem like bad taste to those unacquainted with the facts in the the rear gave HAZEN’S PUNISHMENT. The President Approves the Sentence of the Court-Martial. Wasuinoros, D. C., April 17.—The court-martial proceedings in the case of Gen. Wm. B. Hazen were made public to-day.

Barnabas was in a state of the The Princess most profound perplexity. She could not for the dainty little life of her make up her mind on the important question as to whether she should not commit suicide at the close of the season. It was not very easy for the Princess’ many admirers to understand why she should t perturb it she did with that very proble whether wisely or unwisely. The Princess Barnabas was a = remark-~ able young woman, who had proved the puzzle, the pride and the passion of London society for three whole sensational seasons. She was not yet four and twenty. She bore the title ofa | great Russian prince who had married her just before she came of age, at a time when he him- self was old enough to be her — and who had considerately died within two years of the ceremony, leaving her the absolute mistress of his fortune and his territories, as she had been during life the absolute mistress of his heart for the short time in which he swayed it. She was said to be fabulously wealthy. Her jewels were the wonder of the world, and she delighted in wearing them in season and out of season, with a semi-barbaric enjoyment of their glitter . like eve ing else and splendor which was, 2 — Poe about her. partly Oriental and part Some time — teat husband’s death she had come to Paris and got tired of it, and then she crossed the Channel and conquered London. During one a session little else was talked about but the Princess Barnabas. So- ciety journals raved about her delicate ww yf which seemed to belong to the canvases of the last century, which ought to have been immor- talized on te tendre and hymned in madrigals. Men adored her. omen en- vied her marvellous. dress and ber matchless jewels. The dying ashes of a season’s scan flared up into marvellous activity around ber pretty per- sonality. She was enormously the thing. Enormously “the thing” she remained during a second season, after an interval of absolute disappearance into the dominions of the Czar. Enormously “the thing” she still ap | to be now in her third season, in spite of the rival attractions of an American actress who had not married an English duke, and an American girl with millions who had married the bluest blood and the oldest name in Europe. It would have been absurd for any one to con- test the point that the Princess Barnabas was the very most interesting figure of that phan- tasmal dance of shadows which is called Lon- don society. Nevertheless the Princess Barnabas was weary, positively bored. If she had been less of a success, life might not bave appeared so desolate. There would have beena piquancy in the possibility of rivalry which would have lent a new interest to the tasteless feast. As it was, however, London life at the height of its maddest activity appeared to her as drear and gray as those vast stretches of 1 1 which lay like a great sea around one of the Russian castles of the late Prince Barnabas. It was during this fit of deprbssion when the Princess Barnabas was graciously pleased to agree with the author of ‘‘ Ecclesiastes,” that life was van- ity, thatit occurred to her that in all her strange experience she had never yet commit- ted suicide. She immediately gave up ber mind fo the important problem, whether she should gain this ultimate human experience at once, or postpone it indefinitely. It was in this frame of mind that the Princess went to the great ball at the Russian Embassy. As she nestled among her fursin the dim, lux- urious warmth of her carriage, her mind was running entirely upon the various forms of self-destruction which had been made famous by celebrated persons at different stages of the world’s history, and she could find none that were sufficiently attractive or remarkable to lease her. heavens!” she thought to herself with a little shudder which even the warmth of her surroundings could not repress is it impossible to be banale even in that?” an she gave a little groan as she stepped out of her — e and up the embassy steps. The thought was still on her mind, and tracing the least suggestion of a frown upon her exquisite girl- ish face as she entered the great room and took the hand of the ambassadress. The thrill of interest, of excitement, of admiration which as a matter of course attended upon her entrance did not give her any answering thrill of gratification. She appeared to listen with the most gracious attention to the compliments of the Ambassador. She an- swered with the daintiest little air of infantile obeisance to the Old World courtesy of a white- haired Minister, who would have been as much at home as she herself in a salon of the ent of Orleans. She condescended to entangle in a network of fascination a particularly obdurate and impassive Secretary of State. She pa- tronl a prince of the blood royal, and was exceedingly frank and friendly with the young winter Levell, who knew exactly how muc er familiarity meant, but was at once amused and delighted by the envy it aroused in others, Yet allthe while the Princess Barnabas was not devoting a single serious thought to one of her admirers. Every idea in that vain and foolish head was centered npon the one query, “Shall I commit suicide next week, and if so, how?” It was while in this frame of mind, talking to twenty people and — Sh . en — upon a —— man who was standing, somewhat remov thusiastic f bas looked at him, his eyes, which were ht clever eyes, were fixed on her witha of half-humorous contemplation.

There was another little pause. Neither embarrassed, and yet the interval was — enough to be embarrassing. Then she spoke again. | “Why did you leave St. Petersburg? Where have you been all this time?” He answered the second part of her question: “T have been in Constantinople most of the time.

Then perhaps I may come back on a pen- sion and write dreary letters to the Times about the errors of my successors.” And he laughed to prevent himself from sighing. “You have not answered all my question,” said the Princess. Why did you leave St. Petersburg so suddenly! We were such very good friends, and I assure you 1 quite mi you.” Sinclair got up and looked down into her laughing eyes. I left St. Petersburg,” he said, „because I was afraid to stay.” Her eyes were laughing still, but there was an unwonted softness in her voice as she asked him, Why were you afraid tostay? Surely, you were not a Nihilist?” He began to speak, and paused; then with a determined effort to keep his voice under con- trol, he said: I left St. Petersburg because I was fool enough to fall in love with you.” „Thank you for the compliment. Was that 50 very foolish!” . „Not for others, perhaps. For me folly, and worse than folly—madness. I never thought I should see you again; | did not dream that we should meet to-night.

Still she said noth- „and he went on: “I knewit was ioily when I first found that I loved you over there in St. Petersburg.

And you have not forgotten me yet?” she said. “T shall never forget you,” he answered sad- ly. I cannot love more than once, and I love you withall my soul. Do you remember one day when we drove together in the Neva Per- spective, how you stopped to give scme money to an old beggar? I envied the beggar for get- ting a gift from you, and you in jest dropped a coin in my outstretched hand.” He took t. his watch chain and showed her the tiny gold coin with the Russian eagle on it.

Good-bye.” He held out his hand again, She took it. “Will * come and see me before you leave?” she asked, almost appealingly. He shook his head. ‘‘Better not,” he said. For a moment she was silent; she seemed to be reflecting. Then she said, with a sudden vehemence, Promise ine that if I write and ask you to come Pete will obey me. Pro me that for the sake of our old friendship.” He bowed his head.

At Philadelphia the Athletics took the Phillies into camp once more, the score being 8 to 3.

If anything is done at present in the matter of re- instating Mr. Lucas’ men it will more than likely be done to-day, and no doubt Messrs. Root and Read, who are opponents to the process, will be quietly but firmly sat down upon. The Philadel- phia correspondent of the Boston Herald presented beyond a doubt the most truthful and correct ac- count of the situation and so matters appar- ently stand. The meeting will be held in New York, and, although Al Spalding will not be able to present, his brother G. W. Spalding, will represent the Chicago the Lucas side of the case and he to the mect- ing with positive instructions. The pressure on Spalding in Chicago has been so intense that he bad to succuinb, apd the Tribune of Sunday last, in the following love tap, gave a good idea of the yom 0 to consider the ques- not materialize and thus one of the most important questioas that ever concerned the interests of the League is being evaded and its consideration de- layed. Where is President Spalding in this matter, and why is it that he, who has always been quick to receive and against dangers to ball interests n the West, is not bestirring himself in this particu- larly critical situation?” In the same issue of the Tribune is the following anegyric on Mr. Root: It is unfortunate for the nterest of base-ball that sucha man as President Root of the Providence Club should be in any Way connected with the League. A man vo cannot or — N — freed the —— — to 1 = olly of his theory expuision is necessary e interests of the game, should certainly not be per- mitted to the power over such matters he now holds.” At Sportsman's Park — afternoon Presi- dent Lucas was found comfortably ensconced in a front row seat of the d stand, and upon his 8 1 in regard to the matter, replied: “Oh, is there going to be something done in re- ard to reinstating these men? That will be nice. hat do you know about it?” “I came to you for information,” the reporter re- plied. “Whatcan you tell me?” “Well, I bave to wait and hear and have —— to say. If the League lets sentiment interfere wit its business interests itis very foolish,and it can can smooth matters over by inflicting a penalty on those who have jumped reserve or broken contracts. It is not probable it will ever be done again. Again, it will be many thousand dollars to both local asso- ciations if the teams are evenly matched. You can see how much stock people take in these games,“ and Mr. Lucas waved his hand deprecatingly at the attendance. Mr. Von der Ahe also has received a prac tical demonstration of the little interest taken inthe meetings between the local profes- sionals, and on being asked regarding some of the 322 replied with a smile: Well, I would like to see it. have more confidence in my nine than Lever did.“ Another Hitch. It seems predestined that Sullivan and Ryan can never have that longed-for try at each other, and, as regards Montana as a place of meeting, an inter- view in Chicago between Parson Davis and a Mon- tana legislator puts a damper on proceedings. The Tribune says: The probability of the Ryan-Sullivan match taking place at Butte City, M. T., was the subject of conversation yesterd ina made up of 7 the Mes De on a at J Curtis, Col. C. D. Curtis, Chief o Helena, M. T.; his brother, Mr. prominent attorney at Butte City; and Jack Burke. “Is there any Territorial or municipal law, Mr. Curtis, which will prevent such a meeting?” asked the Parson. . “There was none in existence at the time I left,” replied the attorney, “but a bill had been intro- duced into the General Assembly providing for the — 4 of gambling and prize-fighting in the erritory. The section referring to gamb had, I know, been killed. but that referring to ilistio encounters had not been acted upon at I left, and I do not think it will become a law.“ Col, “should 44 you may be as coatestants will 2 fair play. eral impression prevails that because 0 a “Parson” Davies but ny A that p shook by the hand when the fight was declared in his favor.“ Both to tel h the “Parson” u as to the probability of 1 inter er- ence in case Sullivan aud Ryan should © upon Butte City as their place of meeting.

One of the st pitiable exhibitions a ball-player can make of himself is to lose his temper on the grounds during a game. Such was the case in the game between the Cincinnatis and 1 at Cincinnati last week, when Morris of the ter club, upon being struck with a pitched bali in the hands of Shaliix, the Cincinnati's pitcher, 7. to throw his bat at the latter.

A young English coachman, who gavethe name of James Ande rson, entered the employment of Mr. James Taussig, 2813 Lucas avenue, two months ago,and wound up aperiod of good service last Wednesday by robbing his employer of $1,500 worth of jewelry and clothing. On that day Mrs. Taussig went out to visit her children, and Ander- son entered the house in her absence, telling the cook who was in charge that he had been ordered to clean the windows, and immediately ee pe to gather together twenty suits of cloth- og and overcoats belonging to the gentlemen of the house. This 122 he entered Mrs. Taus- s room and piled up her silk dresses, cloaks and other valuable articles, after which he rum the bureau drawers, securing a gold watch, silver watch, two gold rings, a diamond brooch, pair of gold earrings, bracelets and other jewelry. He got a horse and buggy at Marshall's livery stable and removed the goods. Another coachman saw h placing the bundies in the buggy, but had his suspi- cions removed when Anderson told him that he was taking them over to Mrs. Taussig's sister s. At 8 o'clock Anderson returned to Marshall's with the buggy, aud a short time afterwards Mrs. Taussig returned to find that the house had been robbed by Anderson. The police were notified and discovered about a quarter of the clothing in Kohn's second- hand store, where Anderson sold them, claiming that he was acting under Mr. Taussig's instructions. Where he disposed of the remainder has not yet been discovered. At the Union Depot it was found that Anderson had purchased a ticket there for Denver, Col, and telegrams ordering his arrest were sent off. A Question for Everybody.

The promise of a better market was never more frequent or more certain of denial than it has been this spring. The weather has been of the streaked va- riety, consisting of alternate layers of the delight- ful and dejecting variety, and the condition of the market has followed suit, The present week proved no exception to} the rule, and while the sunny days gave promise of a livening of trade, the succeeding clou ones dashed hope aside —— ne 0 no means so active in their researches as — the opinion of a large number of the real estate men that too many residence buildings are being put up to allow of | ANY VERY GREAT PROFIT to attach permanently to the ble occupation of landlord. the fact that the very high the Men who were paying $300 to for residences which, they knew, would not sell for more than $1,500 to $2,500, were very easily made to understand that the investment of their savings in a little home was the wisest course for them to pursue. The bulk of the houses built within the — year has been of the kind described, and if the landlords find that their houses have been vacated by tenants who preferred paying for anew house for themselves in five years to paying their landlord the value of his old one in that e, they have only themselves to blame for it.
