The Strange Disappearance of Beauti- ful Mattie Deims. 1 nn Fears That the Missing Girl, an Adopted Daughter of Mathew Deims, Has Been Enticed Away by Her Rightful Father or Murdered — Mattie's Strange Conduct. — By Telegraph to the Post-Dispatch. Wrveriztp, N. Y., May 4.—Mattie Deims of this place has been missing since Saturday, and, as search for her has been made without success, the mystery surrounding her sudden and strange disappearance is as deep as when the Astoria police were notified of it, Friday last. When the Posr-Disraron correspondent stepped from the train to the little village depot platform yesterday morning, knots of men were gathered about the station discussing the case, and the theories ad- vanced as to the cause and her whereabouts were numerous. Although a young girl of retired habits and one not given to making acquaintances, her face was familiar to all the villagers, and every one spoke in the highest terms of her, Unlike girls of her age.she had few friends or acquaintances,either of her own or the opposite sex, and seldom left her bome after retiring from her work in the even- ing, unless to do an errand or attend a church meeting. Matthew Deims is a hard-working labor- er, and lives with his wife ina neat little house, a stone's throw from the Winfleld Station, Wien 8 months old, little Mattie became a member of their family by adoption, and has been regarded as their own, and was treated as such. Her father is still alive, and when last heard from was in busi- ness in St Lou's. His wife died manv years ago. while Mattie was a babe, and it was just after ber 2 that sbe became a member of the Deiins fam- her father surrendering with ber all future rales to claim her. As her years increased so did her personai charms develop, and, for one of her years, she was exceedingly interesting. Her face, which was of the pure German type, surmounted with a luxuriant growth of hair, that hung in two long braids down her back, bad often been the cause of envy of some of the weaithier maiden ladies of the village, as they passed her on the streets, while she was hurrying to a village store, Lately Mattie conceived the idea that she was ABLE TO EARN HER LIVING, and at her earnest soiicitation the Deimses, who were not too well biessed with this worid'’s goods, consented and she was furnished employment by C. Bergmann, who contracts with New vo rk and Rrookiyn tailors for work on men's clothes. His home and shop are in one, and are situated in a ciearing in the Maspata woods, two miles from her home. This distance Mattie has traveled to and from ver work daily during the past two week since she has been working for Bergmann. The roa is lonely and leads through two pieces of thick timber land. A large hiil, about half way between the Deimses house aud that o. Berz mann, completely Shute out from view, when in either of tue two pieces of woodland, the houses situated on either side of the hill, ana at the best after leaving the viliage of Winfleid and before reaching the Grand Street Par«, the houses are a considerable distance avart. Leaving the highway, Mattie was again cew pelied to cl.mb a steep hill heavily timvered, to the shop where sue worked. The ony road lead- ing from the road to the snop is anarrow foot . path, which, to a stranger, is barely discernible, it was shortly before noon yesterday when the newsman kuocked at the door of the Delus tome. He was usuered iuto the little front room by Mrs. Deims, a motuerly looking woman, of probably 50 ears. When tue object of the visit was made — she broke down weeping, and, as she swayed ner body to and fro, related the particulars as follows: “Monday evening it rammed, and my husband walked over to Mr. Bergmann's to bring Mattie nome. It was just a little before 6 o'clock when he got there, and, and Mattie said she would not come home, as it was raming too bard. My husband left her there and came home himseif. At 8 O'ciock we were just getting ready to go to bed when we heard a knock at tue door and when we opened it THERE STOOD MATTIE DRIPPING WET. The only reason that she gave for coming home was that she did not want tostay away all night, and when I asked her why she didn’t come home with her father, sue said suedidn’t think then she would be afraid to stay all night with Mr. Bergmann, Und alter my husvand had left her sue feit lone, and started for her home. Tuesday she startei for her work. It was 6:15 in the morning, and that was the last time Isaw ner. My God! where is my Mattie’ ‘iuesday nigut my husband went to Mr. Berg .aon, and wuen ue found she nad not been there ail diy, be din not know what to do or what nad become of her, aud, aithougu we have made every effort to trace her, we have not been able to lind any one who has seen her. “Did it ever Occur to you that her right father may have come from St. Louis and got her to go bam with him?" asked your Corre spondent Les.“ sue replied, but she did not know any other father than my husband. but ber own father may have enticed her away with him," she couciud- ed The newsman then followed the road so often traveled by uattie aud made several inquiries, and, akte ra long walk, succeeded iu findiny the e foot-path leading to Bergmann's. Long before the hou- was im sigut, tour dogs, of as many different breeds, announced his coming by we bar- ing and howling.

Our reasons for making the great reductions in prices are as follows: Our buyers visited the manufacturing centers during the great business depression which existed in February, and secured large lines of the NEWEST AND CHOICEST PATTERNS AT LOWER PRICES THAN EVER BEFORE KNOWN. We received the goods, and, in anticipation of an active Spring business, marked them at a fair advance upon cost. Instead of an active business, we ex- perienced, up to April 15, an exceptionally dull season. At that time, when the usual Spring trade opened (at least 30 days later than usual), the reconstruction of Fourth street was commenced.

Cuicaco, May 4, xoon.—Sheriff Hanchett of this city hsa just received word from Lemont that a collision occurred between the troops and the striking quarrymen at that town this morning, and that two of the strikers were Killed. Two companies of the State troops went to Lemont this morning, to guard the quar’ ries there, and to enable the non-siriking men to resume work. No details have yet been received. The action of the Sheriff of Wiil County, in re Jeasing the seventy strikers captured by the troops near Joliet, last Saturday, and who came from Lemont, is assigned as one of the causes for the present outbreak. THE COLLISION. Later, 12:15 P. m.—Three companies of State troops from Joliet left for Lemont, and disem ‘barked at the Excelsior Stone Quarry,two miles south of Lemont. They were then advised that- the strikers in large numbers had made an assault upon men loading a canal boat with stone. one mile north of Lemont. Proceeding to that point a collision between the troops and strikers occurred there a little before noon. The Evening Journal's Lamont special says: About 1,000 strikers assembled at the depot here this morning, with the intention of capturing the militiaifany came. They afterward went to Walker & Sanger’s quarries and routed them. At half-past 9 four companies of militia and a detachment of Battery C arrived from Joliet, with Gen. Vance and Col. Bennett in command. They stopped at the Excelsior Quarry, and ONE COMPANY DEPLOYED A3 SKIRMISH ERS, The other three companies are now marching to the quarries where the mob congregated to disperse them. They were met on the edge of the town by a moh of three or four hundred. Two companies— Company B of Joliet and G of Bloomington—under the command of Colonel Bennett, followed the front und charged up the main street with fixed bayonets. Company A of Streator, commanded by Captain St. Clair, with a detachment of Battery O, of Joliet, formed the right on a side street, and Company D of Ottawa, commanded by Captain Blanchard, formed the lef t side. The command “FORWARD, CHARGE BAYONETS!" was given. The mob, with wild shooting and cheering, met the main front with clubs and rocks. As the troops advanced steadily the mob gave way to the side of the street and hurled a shower of rocks at the troops, and one fireda shot. Col. Bennett ordered them to disperse, anda num- ber that refused were prodded with bayonets. One was stabbed seriously a Pole named Quin Kofski. Farther up the street, the mob reformed, and commenced hurling rocks, and a detachment, sent to disperse them, fired a volley at them and they scattered at a lively rate, f TWO MEN WERE KILLED, named Andrew Stiter and Jon Qugra. The troops are now clearing the street of the howling crowds of women and children. More trouble is apprehended. The troops will en- camp at Singer's quarries. The troops displayed the coolest bravery. It is reported that a woman and child were killed. A number of the soldiers were badly hurt with rocks. The following official report from Adjutant-General Vance has been sent to the Governor: THE OFFICIAL REPORT. Col. Bennett removed his command except one company, from Joliet to Lamont, arriving about 9 o'clock a. m., and forming a lme south of Lamont. Deputy Sheriff Potter conducted the troops into Lamont near the Alton Depot, where a mob of about 500 to 1.000 strikers were congregated. They were commanded to disperse and go to their houses, by Deputy Sheriff Potter, but they would not. The strikers rushed toward the troops, throwing stones. Major Heffernan and one or two others were struck and slightly wounded. The air was full of stones. In self-defense the troops fired. Two strikers were killed and several wounded. Before the troops fired a pistol was fired from a house into the troops. The troops have passed on to their original destina- tion at Singer & Talcott's quarry. A great many people are on che streets now, but quiet. Coal Strike Ended. By Telegraph to the Post-Dispatch. CoLLINSVILLE, ILL., May 4.—The coal mine strikers “ave given up the fight for better wages and dis- persed, for the present at least. It was feared by operators last evening that there would be trouble this morning, as the strikers began to return yesterday afternoon. The Sheriff and deputies were called on and were on hand early this morning. All the mines are work- ing full time to-day, and will ship about 100 loads of @oal to the St. Louis market to-day, and continue regular shipment in the future. HA! HA!

If Grant and Ward had put $1,000,000 into of into ephemeral government other fluctuatin airs, would have been no failure, and their property would have remained intact to this day. Why Mr Seney, after settling up with his creditors out of the results of his sale, immediately recommenced buying pic ures for a new collection. Among other things, for instance, he is the largest urchaser of paintings this year at the annua! ex- Pibition of the Academy of Design. That shows how well satisfied he is with his experience.” Asked what he thought of the Pettes collection he is admirable in more ways than one. There are works there to suit every taste and all classes of buyers. from the high-priced paintings that the very rich will want to the ‘excellent examples of genuine art, which, being of moderate cost. are suited to the demands of that class who love art for its ownsake, but whose means are more limited. I mean, to be more specific, pictures that en fetch from $100, or even less, to $200 or $250. And nearly all of these represent improving property, paintings that will in- crease in vaiue every year,asthe fame of their author grows.” Auen you anticipate a good sale?“ ; “I cannot see how it should result otherwise. It cannot but be good if the people of St. Louis show their usual judgment. they certainiy can never have a better opportunity.’ A MURDEROUS OUTRAGE. A Doctor Chloroformed and His House Set on Fire, By Telegrawh fo the Post- Disnatox Avstin, Texas, May 4.—At 4 o'clock this morning the premises of Dr. C. B. Stoddard, a prominent dentist here, was entered and maliciously set on fire by some unknown scoundrel. The Doc- tor was chloroformed, and was rescued from the burning building in an unconscious state. At noon Dr. Stoddard was still unconscious, but his physi- cians hope for his recovery. The whole city is indignant over the murderous outrace, and it is ciear that the motive at the bottom of it was personal revenge, rather than robbery. Sus- 1 pee poiuts to ceriain parties, who will probably arrested to-day. This afternoon the Governor will’ offer a reward for the arrest and conviction of the guilty parties. Dr. Stoddard’s parlors were replete with all that is beautiful and artistic, and many of (the articles of furniture it contained were purchased at great expense in Paris and London. The fire was extinguished witn a trifling loss of $2,000. Detectives are now work- ing on the case and much sympathy is expressed for the suffering victim. INCENDIARIES AT WORE. A Brave Boy's Timely Discovery Prevents the Destruction of a Children’s Home. CINCINNATI, May 4.—This morning a 10-year-old inmate of the Covington, Ky., Children's Home, was awakened by the smell of smoke and by hearing glass break in the kitchen. He aroused the matron, and she called the Fire Department in time to prevent a catastrophe. It was found that elaborate preparations had been made to destroy the building, the kitchen being selected as the place to start the fire. The fifty children were panic-stricken, but were controlled so as to preventinjury. The matron says a similar attempt to burn the house was made ten days ago. — PUBLISHERS’ FAIL UKE.

Turnage, editor of the Goldman Times, shot and killed Dick Whaling, the Post- master of the same piace. Whaling was the as- saulting party,and Turnage fired three times in self-defense.

J., May 4 — Governor Abbett has signed the bill preventing railroad companies from leasing their roads or franchises until they ha ve obtained the Legisiature’s consent, An Indian Condemned for Witchcraft. San Bernardino Letter. An occurrence which partakes of the nature of a comedy, but which came near resulting in a tragedy, pened at a camp of the Coahuilla Indians, in this county, afew days ago. It seems that one of the Indians has died here, presumably from natural causes, but the dead man’s relatives accused another of the tribe of burning some nous weed and bewitch- the deceased with the smoke from the fire. He was put on trial for witchcraft and murder, found guilty and sentenced to death. The poor wretch would undoubtedly have been killed had not the affair come to the notice of some white residents of the neighborhood, who hurried to the place and f the man tied hand and foot to prevent his songs. They liberated the un- fortunate and y pre upon the super- stitious aborigines to place the matter. before the Indian Agent at this place and abide by his decision. The chief of the tribe anda large number of his subjects came to town this morn- ing for tha but the agent was not in t purpose, town, sothe hearing was postponed until Mon- The Build of Mr. David Davis.

This is regarded on all sides as a complete assur- ance of peace. The Liberals are jubilant. The Conservatives, however, are suspicious of the point that the frontier question is to be settled in London. This, it will be remembered, Granville declined previously. Hence, it is regarded as a concession. The decision is considered a slight to Lumsden. Persia's refusal to liberate Ayoub Khan in spite of the efforts of Russian agents at Teberan and the rumored tension between Russia and China confirms the belief of peace here. The Czar is reported as saying some days ago that he would have no war, and would make no concession. The relief and satisfaction are general and great. Lonpon, May 4.—A dispatch from Tirpul, dated April 30, states that a dam on the Karaband River, seventy milesnorth of Sarakahs, burst, flooding the country for miles around and doing an immense amount of damage to the military roads that had been constructed by the Russians, who are making strenuous efforts to repair the dam and prevent any ‘THE OWNERSHIP OF PENJ-DEH. The dispatch also states that there can be no question as to the ownership of Penj-deh as the city bas paid tribute to Herat for over a hundred years, and that a guard for the Government, com- posed of Afghan soldiers, has been quartered in the city since 1881, and it has always been an integral portion of the Province of Herat. STOPPING WAR PREPARATIONS. The Government has sent an order to Dover to cease charteriag ships of small pattern for trans. port service. This is believed to foreshadow a stoppage of all war preparations. GLADSTONE’S STATEMENT. Mr. Gladstone stated in the House of Commons this afternoon that no communications had as yet passed between Russia and England in regard to the reported occupation of Port Ham- ton dy England. It is reported that the Government has ceased to charter transports. Admiral Seymour, who bombarded Alexandria during the war against Arabi Pasha, commands the fleet composed of the Atlantic steamships Oregon, Umbria, Alaska and Arizona. The Oregon has been made the Admiral's flag ship. 9 PEACE NEGOTIATIONS RENEWED. In the House of Lords this afternoon Earl Gran- ville, Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, in an- swer to inquiries, stated that England and Russia had agreed to renew the negotiations in London concerning the Afghan frontier question, and that the meeting ofthe delimitation commission had been arranged in detail. His Lordship said both England and Russia had agreed thatthe difficul- ties which had arisen fromthe Penj-deh incident should be submitted to a “full investigation and reference to friendly powers.” The Government continues to give out large or- ders for war stores of ali kinds. The Admiraity is surveying additional steamers with a view of freighting or purchasing them. Though the Rus- sian papers are not so outspoken as they formerly were, probably in consequence of their govern- ment's hints, it is well known that Russia is making strenuous efforts to increase her armament. The Indian banks have given notice that they will not advance money against shipments u less the ves- sels are insured at war risks. The Indian Govern- ment is enforcing rigid economy in ali departments to avoid the levying of fresh taxes, which would be likely to disturL the native loyalty. WANT TO BE ANNEXED TO RUSSIA. It is reported thatthe Afghans of Badakistan have asked to be annexed to Russia, and negotia- tions toward that object are proceeding through 7 the City of Bokhara and the Governor of Turkestan. STILL SKEPTICAL. Many continental papers are still skeptical of a peaceful issue of the dispute. The Pesther Lloyds says that a trifliag fresh mishap on the Afghan frontier may annihilate all hopes of peace. The Deutsche Zeitung says that Russian diplom- acy is not yet anywhere near the end of its artifices and tricks. Russia may again and again put a dif- ficulty in the way of a settlement, and perhaps at last openly declare that she will make po concession in the boundary question. RETURNING MANLINESS OF THE NATION. The London Standard, in referring to the Queen's return, says that everything bas been done to drag the nation into slumber, philters of rhetoric and adulation having been copiously applied to stupefy its conscience. Parliament participates in the sleep as it has participated also in the draught, but the crown does not share in the general abasement and is, perhaps, watching for the restored sobriety and returning manliness of the nation. _ IMPEDIMENTS REMOVED. In response to a question by Sir Stafford North- cote, Mr. Gladstone said that all impediments in the way of friendly prosecution of the corres- pondence on the Afghan question be- tween England and Russia. appeared to de removed. The two Governments, he said, were now ready torefer to the soveriegn of some triend by state, any difficulties which may be found to exist in regard to the agreement of the Mth of March, with a view to a settlement of the matter in a mode consistent with the honor of both sides. Continuing, Mr. Gladstone said that both Russia and England were prepared to resume forthwith, in London, communications on the main points of the line delimiting the Afghan frontier but the details of the line would have to be ex- amined and traced on the spot in conformity with the conditions formerly agreed upon. Russia. said the Premier, bas expressed herself as willing to agree to a removal of the Russian out posts. THE INQUIRY TO BE PUSHED. Lord Granville said that both Governments would facilitate the inquiry as much as possible. The Penj-deh district will remain neutral territory dur- ing the progress of the negotiations. “The Russian Government,” continued Lord Gran- ville, have stated their readiness to consider the question of withdrawing their troops, should the decision of the Afghan boundary commission prove to be against them. Any differences that may arise regarding tue interpretation of passages in the dis- patches of the two Governments would be dealt wich in @ manner consistent with the honor of both countries.” To the other interrogations Lord Grau- vitie said the British Government had sanctioned the seizure of the Bosphore Egyptien, without giv- ing aby opinion as tothe legality of the action. France having demanded a reopening of the office of the paper and the puulshment of the persons concerned in the act of seizure and its suppression England caused a legal inquiry to be made in the matter, and ascertaining from this inquiry that the suppression of the Bosphore Egyptien was unwar- ranted, England, without disclaiming any of her share of the responsibility for the act of seigure, advised Ecypt to apologize to France and the Bos- * * tis * It is stated that the Imperial Ministry in counsel bave decided, finally, upon the utmost limits of the concessions which Russia is willing to make to England in the pending Afghan controversy. The Czar is expected to start for Moscow to-morrow, to celebrate the jubilee of the Russian nobility. THE DEFENSE OF THE DARDANELLES. ConsTANTINOPLE, May 4.—The prompt collection of overdue taxes, etc., to provide the money needed for the defense of the Dardanelles, is urgently com- mended. DISSATISFACTION IN INDIA. Catourra, May 4 The public are dissatisfied with England's concession to Russia, and fears are generally expressed now that the English attitude may have already endangered the safety of the party composing Sir Peter Lumsden's surveying commission. Preparations for war on à large scale still continue in India. The Mantchooria Boundary. CHINA INDIGNANT AT RUSSIA'S DELAY. Lonpon, May 4.--Dispatches from Shanghai state that the dispute between Chinaand Russia regard- ing the frontier of Mantchooria has become acute, owing to the non-arrival of the Russian members of the delimitation commission, and the constant postponement of the date of their arrival at the place of meeting to settie the boundary question. The Chinese commissioners have b ready for months to begin the work of delimitation, and the failure of the Russian commissioners to meet them bas caused the Chinese government to fear that the same farce enacted respecting the Afghan frontier will be performed in this case, Now that the difficulty with France in relation to Tonquin has been settled, China has become more cour- ageous, and has demanded that Russia fulfill her part of theagreement which led to the appoint- ment of the commission. THT INVENTORS’ EXPOSITION. Louise Michel Refuses a Pardon—The Sou- dan—Foreign News. Special Cablegram to the Post-Dispatch. Lonpon, May 4.—The World's Exposition of In- ventions is in a state of fair completeness for in- spection by the royal party to-day. The most ex- tensive exhibits seen are of implements of war, of which there is a remarkable display, The show of appliances of electricity is excellent. The court has assigned to America not more than a third of the space applied for, and has compelled the greater part of the space to be filled by English exhibitors. Much disappointment is expressed on this account, but the matter is largely explained by the fact that American inventions are seen in all parts of the exhibition. The Russian court, adjoining the American exhibit, contains nothing but a score of unpacked cases. The buildings were very crowded. The Prince of Wales was received with cheers, though much enthusiasm was expected after his Royal Highness’ return from Ireland. OPENED BY THE PRINCE OF WALES. Loxpon, May 4.—The Prince of Wales opened to- day the World's Exposition of Inventions. The Princess of Wales, the Duke of Edinburgh, the Duke of Cambridge, Earl Granville and Sir William Vernon Harcourt were among the distinguished persons present. The attendance of the general public was very large. AN IMPORTANT CLEW. The police advertise for information concerning the sale of an iron vessel the remnants of which have been found in the yard of the Admiralty build- ings, near t e scene of the recent explosions. The remnants indicate the vessel they composed had contained dynamite, and the police will now be able to ferret out the persons who made the attack by finding the venderof the vessel, who may be able to give a description of its purchaser. PORT HAMILTON NOT ANNEXED. The Pall Mail Gazette says it believes that England really never annexed Port Hamilton. The British fleet, according to the Gazette, has merely taken a position with a view to prevent others from either annexing or occupying Port Hamilton in the event of an Angio-Russian war. TWO CELEBRITIES DEAD.

He does not now contemplate leaving Washington during the summer months, and has no doubt that he can have a very comfortable existence.

To-day Judge Van Wagoner selected the Grand Jury for the May term. of the Criminal Court, and gave the usual instructions. che following gentlemen constituted the body: D. P. Rowland, foreman; John Scullin, Wm. H. Lee. James Luthy, Henry D. Waterman, Theodore Bloess, John B. O’Meara, Augustus A. Mellier, Ed- ward Mallinckrodt, John H. Tracey, Charles Bauer and Benjamin H. Batte. In giving his instructions. Judge Van Wagoner said no matter of special importance had been called to the attendance of the court for instruction. Con- cerning preiiminary examinations the Court said: “No indictment for fe ony should be found by your body without the accused has first had a prelimi- nary examination, unless you are satisfied that the = good requires it. The law provides for pre- iminary examinations. Courts are provided by law for that purpose, and it is but just to the ac- cused that a preliminary hearing should be accord- ed to him, for it not infrequently happens that the accused can and docs establish his innocence at such preliminary examination, and is thus spared the humiliation and disgrace of an indictment for crime or trial thereunder. You please heed this, gentlemen, and bear in mind that while you have solemn duties to perform the citizen has also rights that should be respected by you.“ The Court vised the Grand Jury to be extremely careful in examining into charges of embezzlement, statin that during his experience on the bench many o these cases, wherein charges of criminal conduct were lodged, were, in fact, only methods adopted to force collections on business disagreements, KNIGHTS TEMPLAR, Aunual Conclave of the Grand Command- ery to be Held To-morrow The annual conclave of the Grand Commandery of the Knights Templar organization of the Stat eof ‘Missouri, will be held at Masonic Hall to-morrow at 10 o'clock.

The Story Connected With the Gallant Stopping ofa Furious Runaway. From the New York Herald. A spirited brown horse attached to a light buggy came dashing down Third avenue yes- terday afternoon in a furious runaway. There was foam on the brown horse’s nostriis and fire in hiseye. Seated in the buggy was a blue- eyed, fair boy of some 11 years. The lad’s face was very pale, but he clung pluckily to the reins, and with all his boyish might sought to check the runaway’s headlong ca- reer. This effort was as nothing. It was like one of Mr. Buddensick’s model tenement houses seeking to stop the course of a cannon ball. The brown horse kept wildly on, momentarily inc ing his Cars came to a full stop, vehicles drew out of the way, and pedestrians watched the runaway with horrified faces as they perceived the peril of the blue eyed boy. As the horse, tearing down the the avenue, was approaching Sixty-second streets a broad- shouldered man, with biue eyes and a chestnut beard, came driving up the avenueina buggy drawn by a bright sorrel. The moment.he caught sight of the runaway ahead he seemed greatly exercised, He did not, however, draw close to the curb, as other drivers had done, but, look- in sharply about him, took in the scene with a lightning glance. From the manner in which the runaway tore across the avenue it was evidently his intention to dash into Sixty-second street. As soon as the man with the chestnut beard perceived this he turned the sorrel’s head into that street and lashed his horse to full speed, the runaway turning into the street after him. The sorrel was. however, some thirty-five yards ahead of the brown horse, and at this point the man sud- denly checked his course and made a flying oA from the buggy to the ground. Still olding the reins, he drew the vehicle across the street in such a manner as to narrow the sage left for the oncomer. He then turned his back to the runaway, watching him, however, from over his shoulder. The brown horse, heedless of the obstacle, came on at full The man did not swerve. A moment later the runaway was upon him. Then he suddenly turned and seized the brown horse’s bridle with a firm grip. The impetus of the horse him forward sev- eral feet, the brown horse struggling furiously to free himself. The man was thrown to his knees, but not for a moment did he release his grip on the reins, He fought his way to his teet, and with steady nerve and. iron Aan re- duced the brown animal to submission. At this juncture a number of come running up. They surrounded the man with the chestnut looking upon him with admiring glances. ‘“‘You have saved that boy’s life at the risk of your own; it wasa splendid act,” 2 exclaimed an elderly gentleman with white a „Bahl“ answered the man addressed; that's nothing.

THE MOJAVE INDIANS. as crude fever, Characteristics of a Tribe of Desert- Dwellers. , Correspondence of the San Francisco Chronicle. Entering from Northern Arizona, The Needles is the first station on the Atlantic and Pacific Railroad in California. The fancied resem- in a cluster of Ojave. and brutality are to him. He laughs aud chatters wi the glee and abandon of the nursery. If he has a thieving pro- — itis not indicated by his conduct. hough some of the tribe live on ranches, their sowing is not haunted by the necessit of much reaping. Their farming ability is about eq to that of the traditional Ar swamp angel. Their stock is scarcely worth the mention; perhaps they do not brand enough. They bask in the noonday sun; they sleep in the sand; they lounge around the hotel with the languid ease of a railroad bummer. Their virtues are their own; their vices are mostly copied from per- sons supposed to be tlieir superiors. They are shiftless through lack of experience in the ways of civilized life. Seeing none of the virtue and all the vice of the white man, it would be ab- surd to expect from them such discrimination as would result from the emulation of the for- mer and the rejection of the latter. With 4. encouragement, this tribe can be led m industry to thrift. The steam boats that semi-occasionally disturb the waters of the Col- orado, between Yuma and El Dorado canyon, are manned by Mojaves, who perform their laborious duties with commendable alacrity. The Mojave, like many of his pale-faced brethren, thinks, if troubled by thought, that Man wants but little here below, nor wants that little long.” Money is quickly exchanged for the delights of the savage palate, or the flaring gewgaws of barbaric passion. Four red cotton handkerchiefs serve as a robe to drape the symmetrical figure of the Mojave belle. Her skirt has the regulation scantiness of the ballet. Her feet press the sand in prim- itive freedom. The females, asa rule, have regular features. Many are almost handsome, Occasionally one is seen whose nasal develop- ment brings to recollection Solomon’s appre- ciation of that Hebrew type of beauty: Th nose is as the tower of Lebanon that looket toward Damascus.” The breech-clout is still in vogue with the bucks. But few of them adopt the garbof the white man. Some of those who do produce startling effects, with a plug hat surmounting a banner of long black ir streaming to the wind; an old claw-ham- mer coat thrown overa tawny hide; a jacket roclaiming the virtues of xxx flour; a long, oose ulster whisking around in the breeze and revealing glimpses of unfettered copper-hued limbs! the males are tall, and many of them tower head and shoulders above ordinary humanity. Fashions in Gloves. From the New York dul and Express. “The fashionable style in gloves changes to a certain extent every season,” remarked a large importer and manufacturer of gloves on Broad- way, as he stretched a number five kid to fit a number eight hand. „What causes-the es?” The style of dressing all to do with it. For instance, this summer the close-fitting tailer-made suits for ladies, from the length of the sleeve and its pattern, require a five-button glove. The glace kid is the most popular for these suits, Six and eight-button gloves were often cut down to five-buttons to meet the de- mand, As long as these close-fitting suits are worn the five-button gloves will be in vogue, It is the rage in Paris, and New York does not remain long behind that city of fashion.” „What style of glove will be worn by the ladies this summer?” “The old-style Swede mousquetaire will still be worn, and in a great measure supplant silk gloves. For dress occasions the Swede glove in light tan shades will be worn almost exclu- sively. It is rather strange that in the dead of summer kid should be preferable to silk. Well, the Swedish 1 is light and cool and more dressy than si The most popular color is a subdued mouse color. The most expensive glove is the pink red. Indeed, they are so high-priced that a ver small and select stock only is kept on han When the famous pink parties came off during last year the gloves were generally made or ordered direct from Paris. A new style of glove, which does not seem to become popular, is the three-button kid, with black Spanish lace at the top. In the first place they are too expensive, and then the three buttons are not enough to give them the style of five buttons without the lace.” The Tramp’s Error. From the Detroit Free Press. A Tramp, who called at a Farm House to ask for a cold Bite was almost Paralyzed at bein Welcomed with Smiles and Kind Words an having a fine Repast laid out for him. In Ex- lanation the Woman said that he Reminded er of her Long-Lost Cousin. At the next house the Tramp at once An- nounced that he was the Woman’s Long-Lost Brother, but in place of Smiles and Mince Pie the Woman seized the Broomstick and went fur him, saying: | “Slide out, you Villain.

Cuicaco, May 4--Pacific newspapers, weak and heavy cables, higher consols and magnificent weather were the interesting items of news fur- nished the bulls this morning.

B22 Wr are told that the life-saving bureau of the Treasury Department and the hydrographic office of the Navy Department have been ac- cumulating evidence of the value of oil as a amoother of the seas in the vicinity of endan- gered vessels during gales. Numerous cases of salvage effected by suspending bags of oil over the bows, sides and sterns of vessels are reported. If the Government should take such action as would lead to a lavish use of oil for this purpose, the market for coal oil would be greatly improvéd, and this might smooth the troubled waters of politics, especially in Ohio. It might even induce the Cincinnati Enquirer to take a more hopeful view of the Adminis- tration, and to desist from its attempts to re- construct the Cabinet. ——————_—_—_—————— Tux question of Sunday observance was set- tled yesterday by the good people of St. Louis in a practical manner.

Beginning of a Protracted and Bitter Coal Miners’ Strike in Ohio. Cantor, Om, May 4—4 strike of 260 miners along the line of the. Valley Railway in the Can- notton district, is the beginning of mining troubles which, it is feared, will result in the strike of 6,000 miners in the Cannotton and Tuscarawas Valley districts, Tue rate of 55 cents per ton in the Hock- ing Valley, established after the terrible strike there, has enabled operators to put coalin the Cleveland and other Northern Ohio markets, at rates which Tuscarawas and Cannotton operators cannot compete with when they pay 75 cents per ton, which has been’the prevailing rate. Consequent- ly they ve notice of acut to cents-a ton. Ata convention recently held. President McBride, it is said, advised the minersto accept, but no action was taken, and on Saturday the 260 miners re- ferred to, refused to work for less than the old rate. The operators here say that. they wiil not only in- sist upon a reduction, but if the men strike will not let them go im except atthe same rates as inthe Hocking Valley, 55 cents per ton. In that event the strike may be expected to be protracted, and exceedingly bitter. | GUARDING A SACRED SPOT. The Grave of the Late Cyrus H. McCor- mick Watched Every Night.

May 4.— The Wortp says: The Onio Legislature has passed a registry law, and also a law providing severe penalties for the use of money in elections. The present Democratic Legis- lature of that State has passed more measures in the interest of reform, and for the protection of the ballot-box, than any body which preceded it, and now that Federal ‘protection’ has been with- drawn from the polls they may be able to hold an honest election in the Buckeye State. THE SUN. The Sun says: “The Northern Republicans seem to have no use for decent Southern Republicans, and will give them no encouragement.

Tuere is no cau e for wonder here on anybody's p.rt, for the Democratic leaders will not try to ree- oncile their contradictory statement about the sur- plus any more than the ay to reconciie any of the other uutruths they told. it wili be time enough to wonder if, at the end of four years of Bourvon rule, the Democrats have any balance at all to show in the Treasury.” THE PEOPLE’S FORUM.

WasniNarox, May 1.—Most of the talk about the possible retirement of Secretary Manning from the Cabinet has grown out ofa number of expressions about his dislike for life in Washington. I asked Mr. Manning the other night about his work here. He said that it was more exacting and confining than anything he had ever before undertaken. He did not desire to go into the Cabinet. He accepted only at the last with reluctance. He had had a very busy, hard-working life. He felt that he had earned a right to take his ease and not burden him- self with excessive care for the remainder of bis life. His surroundings in Albany were pleasant. He had there a circle of friends who were very dear to him. He did not expect people to believe that he had no political ambitions. I asked Mr. Manning if he contemplated retiring from the Cab- inet at any time during the Cleveland Administra- tion. Hereplied “No” in the most positive way, He said that President Cleveland had a right toex- pect that all of the gentlemen who had been invited by him to enter his Cabinet should remaia with him during his term of office. The President is averse tochanges. Mr. Manning had not the remotest idea of deserti-g his friend, and should stand by him as long as he wished to have him with him. Mr. Manning finds the most disagreeable of his work to be the listening to the claims of office- seekers. The pressure upon his attention is very — As 1 is trying to thoroughly reorganize asury Department, he has little if any leisure. no ber or the Cabinet more Mr. — 145 — the officers under ahead > oa even, judicial made to his — ag Crittenden Watson, an officer in the Equipment Bureau of the navy. He was placed in charge of this branch of the service at the Brooklyn yard some time ago. He bas a large family of six chil- dren and had established himself in Brooklyn to perform the duties of the new detail. About six months ago, because he refused to comply with some suggestions of outside friends of Chandler's, he was summarily removed from his post and placed upon waiting orders. This reduced his pay exactly one-half, and, through the large expense which he had incurred in going to Brooklyn, oc- casioned him great financial distress. In the ap- peals made to Mr. Whitney, mention was made continually of this distress and the need of the offi- cer. It was further urged for him that he was one of the most gallant officers during our late war, and that he was Farragut's flag lieutenant in the fight at Mobile. Mr. Whitney steadily refused to look at the record of this officer or the distress of his chil- dren. He confined himself to the fact of whether he had been unjustly treated or not. He found that he had. Then he promptly acted. Yesterday he issued an order restoring this officer to full duty and to his old post ia Brooklyn, from which he was go summarily removed by O. . A question that some of the naval officers are now asking is, Who is golng to run Mr. Whit- ney? Every Secretary n the past has had some one or two officers who have controlled him in all technical matters. When Mr. Whitney visited the Brooklyn Navy Yard last week several of the officers there tried toimpress themselves upon him with the most marked attentions. He went quietly through his work of inspection, how- ever, without 8 a preference for any one. This is his method in Washington. He will have about him, before he gets through, all of the young and good men in the service, but no one need spec- ulate about the officer who istorun him. No one officer in the navy, or any set of them, will have any influence with him except those who can help bim follow the straight line of plain duty. The two officers who are, perhaps, most relied upon by the Secretary for aren. information are Captains Welker and Harmon. Captain Walker is one es the best men in the navy. He is atall, broad-shouldered, resolute- looking man, with black eyes, clear, sharp cut feat- ures, adorned with two long pointed side whiskers. A anil slight mustache shades his upper lip. Walker used to be the detail officerof the navy. On this account he became the object of the wrath of all ot the officers who were ordered upon dis- agreeable duty. Every man who received an un- — billet char it up to the prejudice or dis- ike of Captain Walker. Of course this was unrea- sonabie. There are always unpleasant duties to be performed in the service and officers have to take their share of them. Capt. Walker, him- self, is a man who never has grumbled at any order which has been given him. the Secretary were to-morrow to touch his bell and to direct him to to Alaska he would obey without a murmur. lie expects equal obedience from his associate officers when he has — 8 to give to them, Durin er's time, the Secretary constructed a board of detail made t of six —— He dia save any one officer from the unpopularity wi which rere ed Whitney me the other night that he terval» to keep up this board. lie thought that it was a thing.

We are prepared to make boys’ clothing to order DAVID L. REID. Death of a Well-Kuown St. Louis Newspa- per Man—The Funeral. Mr. David L. Reid, well known in St. Louis through his long connection with the Posr-Dis- patos, Globe-Democrat and Republican and his de- votion to athletic sports, died suddenly on Satur- day. Mr. Reid was 37 years old at the time of his death. He began his newspaper work on the New York Clipper, and was for several years managing editor of the Philadelphia Sunday Dispatch. He came to St. Louis in 1875. and worked on the Globe- Democrat, the Republican and Posr- DisrAroR, his specialty being sporting news. For several years he has been secretary of the St. Louis Brown Stocking Club, and to his efforts, as much as to those of any other man, is due tue position which the club holds. In every reia- tion of life Dave Reid made and held warm friends, who liked him for the sterling friendliness ava humor which were his most striking characteris- tics. About 4 o'clock Saturday afternoon Mr. Reid became very ill. He went to Mr. Munson's room, 1321 Pine street, and threw himself upona sofa. Medical aid was summoned, but nothing could be done, and at 9:20 Dave passed away. The cause of death was congestion of the bowels. He was conscious to the last, and fully realized that his end was at hand. He asked that his body should be sent home to New York and his last words were, “God bless you for your kindness,"’ addressed to Mrs. Brothers, who had nursed him throughout the day. Mr. Reid's family in New Lork were informed of his demise, aud instructions were at once sent on to hiye the body returned home. Hon. John J. O'Neill has taken charge of the funeral ceremonies here iu conjunction wiih Mr. George Munson, Saturday evening a general meeting of the news- paper men ofthe city was held at the Pianters’ House, at which Mr. Kelso presided and Mr. Keliy was secretary. it was arranged that the funeral services be eld at 2:80 this afternoon at St. John’s Episcopal Church, Seven- teenth and Hickory streets.

The only good apples in the. world, lineal de- scendants of the golden stock of Hesperides, used to grow, twenty-five or thirty years ago, on an old farm three or four miles out of Peo- ria, III., on the Mount Holly road. I told the boy they were not alwa = a fair apple to look upon in their early youth, when I loved them They were hard on one side and green on the other. They were gnarly all the way round and sour all the way through.

The apples are — gh and fla vorless; the grass is wiry and thin — it used to be living velvet under our feet; the days are not so long; the nights have grown colder; the stars shine less brightly, and there are not 60 many of them; I counted them the other night, and there are half a dozen miss- ing; the cows don’t come home so early; the dogs are crosser; Christmas doesn’t come so close apart as it used to.

The home club was very badly handicaped in the pitcher's box, both Sweeney and Boyle being woe- fully out of form. The former was suffering severe- ly with a sore arm, while the latter's injured finger prevented him from giving the ball any speed.

Inthe opening game for the League champion- ship at Philadelphia, the Providence Club defeated the Philadeiphias 8to2. The features of the game were the wonderful pick-ups of Mulvey for the Phil- adelphias and Dennv for the Providence club. A remafkably fine game was played at the New York Polo grounds, between the Boston and New York clubs, the latter defeating the former by a score of 2 to 1. The Bostons were absolutely ie to do anything with Welch's pitehing. Manning se- curing the only hit made off his delivery. The first game of the season between the Balti- more and Athletic clubs at Baltimore resulted ina victory for the former by a score of 9to 5. The game was a very pretty one, Baltimores playing without an error and batting the only Cushman for ten base hits. At Louisville the Cincinnati Club received their third successive coat of whitewash this season, ing defeated by the home club 8 to 0. White, for the visitors, was bat ed all over the field, and only two of the club succeeded in r ing second base. At New York the Metropolitans had everythin their own way with the Brooklyns, and defeated that club by a score of 8 to 2, before a disgusted audience of about five thousand persons.

For four years it flourished here and in the East like a green bay tree, and its votaries multiplied and waxed fat.

Most of tom were paired like song-and-dance teams, and lon and constant practice and familiarity with e other’s metuods enabled them to give exhibition bouts that were marvelously clever. Kelly and urphy, McCoy and Barnes and others could give a show that was in many respects not a whit in- ferior to two-thirds of the four-round fights for keeps, and their advent on the boards was always hailed with delight. They are still able to spar in this city, but unless the appetite for fistic sports has the whetting iufluence of real contests to excite it, it soon loses ali relish for friendly bouts. At present room fights are quite the vogue, but the police will soon put a stop to them, or make attend- auce at them so hazardous that the will deterred from attending them, and then they will cease.

In the first race, a mile dash, free handicap, King Kyrie won eusily in 1:17, out of nine starters. The Kenesaw stakes brought seven starters to the scratch, with Lady of the Lake the favorite. She did not disappoint her backers, and won by a length in 1:44 suspended for the meeting for pulling up Gypsy when the drum tapped.

In the last heat both horses were badly punished. The final race for the Jackson stakes for 1-year-old colts, a half-mile dash, was won by Stoney Batter in 51 by three lengths, out of six starters. In the last two races the favorites were beaten. Diamond Dust. Captain Start of the Providence nine is desirous of having the pitching rule revoked. Sullivan and Colgan, released by Lucas, expect Kansas City. Hawes, formerly of the Bostons, and now a mem- ber of the Broctons, is doing good work with that nine. Archer, who played second base for the Cleve- lands part of last season, is now filling that position for the Springfields. If the American Association had concurred with the League, Hugh Daly would probably have pitched for the Metropolitans. McKeever of last year’s Boston Union team is far surpassing his past records as a catcher. His im- provement behind the bat and as a batter has been surprising.

All the Jail Cases Docketed for the Term Which Opens To-Day. The Seibert Murder Case Called for Trial—The History of Charles Koeble, a Young Mechanic, Who Died Before His Trial. To-day is May day in the Jail. It is not made re- markable by the festivities of the May pole or the advent of buck beer and buck wurst, but because it is the opening of a new term of the Criminal Court and every case is docketed anew to-day. The excuses which delayed justice lose their effectiveness with the birth of the new term, and new reasons for continuances must be proffered to wear out the prosecution. All the prisoners in Jail who have not yet had hearings inthe Criminal Court are docketed for the term which opened this morning. The murder cases have been set down for each Monday of the session, which will last during the months of May and June. The first on the docket, that of Henry Seibert, was called to-day. The defendant in ‘this case is a young man who lived with his parents on the Olive street road, where they kept the Five-Mile House. The sons are all grown-up young men. Henry, the defend- ant, being the eldest. The homicide for which he F any to trial was committed on crane gf 18, 1884. he victim was a young man named Michael J. Hanley. No hearing of the case has yet been had, and since the occurrence the facts have been in dispute, the friends of the young man who was killed, claiming that the life was taken without just provocation, while Seibert's friends swear it was a case -of justifiable killing. Some time before the killing a was given at Seibert's house, an Hanley attended with some friends. The Seiberts say that he was unruly and flourished a revolver. On that evening they claim that the disturbance was quelled with trouble and that Seibert announced his inten- tion to prosecute young Hanley. While on his way down town to swear out the threatened warrant, he said he was assaulted with stones and pieces of ice some of the parties who had raised the disturb- ance at the house onthe night of the party. Ac- cording to the claims of the defense. it was subse- quent to and with a remembrance of these events THE FATAL MEETING took place. Hanley calied at the house again, and, during the dispute, which is the body of the case in court, Siebert took a shotgun from its place near the ice chest and fired.

When the cases of Charies Koeble were called Circuit Attorney Clover arose, and. in the forma language of the law, clo a sad story saving: I move that these cases be abated on account of the defendant’s death.“ Charles Koebel was a 2 man of quiet manner and steady habits. — was eiuployed at & machine shop, No. 412 South Twelfth street, and after finishing his day’s work trudged home toa widowed mother, who lived on Dorcas street. He was the — support of the family and until a short time before trouble overtook him was working for the wages of an apprentice. In the shop he was quiet an unobtrusive. The few 8 moments left after flnishing his cold dinner and before he resumed work were spent walking alone nearthe shop or silently listen- ing to the disputes and opinions of his fellow work- men. Whatever aspirations the young mechanic may have had, he nursed them alone. On the evening of the 80th of January, 1884. he went to take his bucket and his ownership was disputed by two of the more boisterous workmen, a man named Alvin Berger and a companion named Charles Meyer. They insisted on taking his bucket, and the dispute resul in violent meeting, Young Kovble was struck with a bucket in the fight, and in a fit of passion, drew a knife from his pocket and dealt death blows to his opponents. Berger received a slash four inches long and three inches deep in the abdomen, besides a cut on the back. Meyer received a wound in the chest extending from breast to breast and penetrat- ing far into the cavity of the chest. While the men lay on the ground before him, young Koeble was seized with fear and ran away across the Twelfth street bridge. He carried the bloody weapon in his flight, unconsciously, until he reached the middle of the bridge, when he threw it down into the rail- road yards where it was found at daybreak. Koebje was arrested by the police of the Second District where he was found in hiding. He admitted having inflicted the wounds, and on a preliminary hearing he was held for manslaughter in the third degree. An indictment was returned and the de- fendant was released on bail. Since the unfortunate fight Koeble changed in manner and became more despondent. A few weeks ago he died. His dea h was ascribed by the doctor to one of the listed causes found on the ordinary certificate. The less scientific, but more sympathetic neighbors, said: — „Poor Charlie died of a broken heart.“ Nicholson's Liquid Bread.

Haverly’s minstrels, under the supervision of Mr. Haverly himself, opened at Pope's last night to a fine audience, which was not one whit more than the performance deserved. The organization is on the mastodon order and is as meritorious in quality as in numbers. The programme was full of fresh- ness, variety and entertainment of the minstrel kind, and contained several features which for nov- elty and excellence have not been surpassed in St. Louis. Thefirst part is on the immense scale which characterizes the entire show and abounds in entertaining ballads, jokes and witticisms, and was a good introduction to the rest of the performance, The finale, “The Banquet at the Liverpool Club.“ was novel and funny. The Quaker city quartet in “The Colored Back- smiths.” and the Gormans and others in The Back- watch“ and The Gladiators,“ with a clog N by Chas. Green, brought down the house. Bo Slavin kept the audience ina roar with his witti- cisms. Duncan gave an exceptionally good exhibi- tion of ventriloquism, and the song and dance „Away Down in Dixie“ was a neat and amusing feature of the olio.. By long odds the feature of the ormance was the acrobatic act of the ’ ere are five of them and they give the finest ex- hibition which has been seen in St. Louis for a long time, if not the finest ever seen here.

An immense crowd, entirely too large for com- fort, assembled at the Fair Grounds yesterday at the opening exhibition of Carver's Wild West Combination. The arrangements for the accommo- dation of the spectators were not complete enough to insure the right kind of treatment, and complaint and — 1 — on the part of those holding re- served seat coupons were general and loud. ith a few exceptions the programme was carried out as announced. and the spectators were treated to some interesting illus- trations of life on the plains. There were races between Indians, between Indian and horse and be- tween Indians, negroes and white men. There was an exhibition of the Western pony express, of a stage coach, riding bucking mustangs, capturing wild horses, lassoing Texas cattle and buffalo hunting. The rifle shooting of Dr. Carver was omitted from the programme, to the evident dissat- isfaction of the visitors. The throng surrounding the amphitheater, doubtless, compelled this omission. The exhibition will be continued for three days. Notes. The Little Nugget Comedy Company is booked at the People’s for next week. The Fair Grounds and Zoological Garden are open daily for parties and pienics. The Exposition Rink is giving attractive enter- tainments every day and night.

Vice-President Hendricks’ Failure to Control the Administration. — —— — The Presiding Officer of the Senate and Federal Patronage — Interesting Facts About the Fish Commission— A Costly and Useless Bureau—The Colored Minister to Hayti. — — Special Correspondence of the Post-Dispatch. WasHIneTon, May 2.--Vice-President Hendricks still remains in Washington. He is very active in looking after the patronage of his State, and is averse to dipping in his oar in matters outside of Indiana. The President has always treated him with great courtesy, but he has not followed his advice any more than he has that of the Senators or Members who call upon him. Mr. Hendricks thought when he first came here that he would control the Administration. He thought that the President was inexperienced, and would be only too glad to travel for a time in the experienced leading strings of the Vice-President. Mr. Hendricks has discov- ered his mistake. He does not go to the White House near as much ashe did when he first came here. Mr. Hendricks might have had a great deal of influence with the President if he had confined his advice to the broad field of political generali- ties. The President would have been glad to con- sult with him about matters of general policy, but when he found that the Vice-President only called upon him when he had the claim of some office seeker to urge, the laiter lost his hold at the White House. It appears that the Vice-President has needlessly compromised the dignity of his position by too active a search for political patronage. Indiana for some weeks has been making a struggle for the office of Public Printer. There was first a candidate by the name of Stoll; then Richard J, Bricht, former serzeant-at-arms of the Senate, was indorsed by the delegation. The public printer has no term. He is removable at the will of the President. The present public printer, Mr. Rounds,has managed the office well. He has put the establishment on a good business basis. As no charges have been 12 aga inst him, the President has declined to disturb Mr. Rounds. Several weeks ago Mr. Rounds had some controversy with a rag, yong by the name of Bell about some work. It was finally settled be- tween them, but enough occcurred in the controver- sy to occasion some gossip. It was understood that Bell had charged unds with having taken ad- vantage of him. The Vice-President heard of it, and actually went to call upon Bell to find out if he could not get something from him, to use against the public printer, to secure his removal. There have been a number of such undignified acts as this upon the part of the Vice-President which have had a tendency to seriously lessen his influ- ence at the White House. - 0 = One of the great humbugs of Washington is the 4 This — — — ee Jongress for the purpose of increasing the sup- ply of the food. fishes, Co : has en ver liberal with the com- mission and has appropriated from $100,000 to $200,000 a year for the ob- — of its creation. The commission first devoted tself to the hatching of shad and their planting in various waters where it was thought t would best thrive. Yet each year the supply of grown less and less. With all of the money and machinery placed at its disposal, this commission has not been able to increase in the slightest degree this species of valuable food fish. They have for several years made abortive attempts to hatch cod fish. They have not yet suoceeded. The spawn of the cod can be hatched A in very deep salt water. The attempt to hatch them in artificially prepared water has failed absolutely. This year the com- mission is going to try once more in the neighbor- hood of Woods Holl. There is no reason to expect that they will meet with auy more success this sum- mer than they havein the past. Everythi that the commission has attempted has resulted in such failure that the officers connected with it fear that Congress will no longer appropriate money for it. For that reason taey are making unusual efforts this year to see if they cannot increase in some one direction the supply of food fishes. The om. or make the German carp popular has failed. This is a prolific and hardy fish. It has been introduced into the waters of various States. They drive out other fish and increase in great quantities, but peo- ple will not eat them, They make a coarse, rank ood. *,* The Commission has in its service a vessel which cost in the neighborhood of a bundred thonsand dollars. It is. in reality, a first-class steam yacht. Itis employed by the Commission for deep-sea dredging, and affords the officials of the Com- mission a delightful, long summer cruise. The records of the fishing trips of these vsssels has not, up to date, made a very impesing showing. Indeed, it is one of the mysteries of Washington what this vessel does in the way of scientific or practical work, It is probabie that Congress next year will attempt to abolish this Commission. It is very difficuit always to break up any bureau under the Government when it is once estabiished. Senators and members are averse to breaking up places where they have people supported who would otherwise come back upon their hands, The Senate always stands in the way of any such reform. The Fish Commission bas done nothing yet in the way of practical resuits except to spend money. It has been shown pretty positively that it can do nothing in the direction sought to be accomplished by Con- gress. „„ The bond required for Williams, the colored Min- ister to ayti, was 20,000. Ministers are not required to give bonds, The reason why he was required to give a bond was because the office of Consul-General of Hayti is consolidated with thatof the mission. It was the office of Consul-General that called for the bond. Wiliams was a mugwump colored man. He op- posed Mr. Biaine, and made several against him. It was on this account that he was nominated by Arthur. Mr. Bayard did his best to have this man paid bis first month's salary. He did not Know that he was required to give a bond. The chief clerk, who should have informed Mr. Bayard on this subject, neglected to do so. If he had ad- vised Mr. Bayard in time, he would have been saved all trouble with Williams, who is a profes- sional nigger.’ Williams bas never yet been able to obtain a doilar of the bond, If the controversy over him had been confined to this point, this pro- fessional colored brother could have obtained but littie sympathy from even the most radical of the Republican newspapers.

Yet the Englishman is dined and wined in both conti- nents and makes three dollars to the American's one, although Barrett is undeniably the better actor.

New Yous, May 4.—The following Paris corre- spondence is published in a morning paper: Panis, April 20.—There is nothing that rejoices the Parisian public like a sensational murder. «In the excitement it creates, everything else is for- gotten. If the murderer writes lettres d' esprit and pretty verses, like Lacenaire, the joy is turned into a general delirium. Lacenaire/ the author and murderer of a dozen or fifteen years ago, had more vogue at the time than even Victor Hugo. It has been always so in France. Mme. De Sevigne wrote more letters concerning the Poisoner Brinvilliars than about the great Turenne, and the murder of Tiquet was more talked of in the court of Louis XIV. than the victory of Denaine. The names of Menesclon and Troppman are known to more Pari- sians to-day than are those of any two members of the French Academy.

The trial of the Miller mediums was resumed in the Courtof Criminal Correction at 2 p. m. Satur- day, Mrs. Kate Getler succeeding Judge Portis on the stand. She said that she had known the de- fendant for a couple of months and was to a cer- tain extent a believer in spiritualism. She attended the seance of March 4, and thought she recognized the spirit of her brother-in-law, whom she had seen at a previous seance. Witness described the capture of Mr. Madden's dead brother's spirit in the flesh of Mrs. Miller. She rubbed Mrs. Miller in the cabinet after she was seized. She had on a white gown at the time, which disappeared when the curtain was raised. How this happened he did not know, as she had hold of Mrs. . Miller's hands. When she saw her brother-in-law ahe asked him how be liked it, and he just nodded his head. Bhe heard Madden's brother speak and thought it was Mrs. Miller's voice she heard. Mrs. Tittle, mother of Mrs. Miller, said sue had been a believer in spirit- ualism for over twelve vears. Miller was 31 years old.

New York, May 4—Madame Patti, through her relation as the wife of Nicolini, became a joint de- fendant with her husband in a suit instituted by Col. Mapleson, the papers of which were served on Saturday just as Patti was leaving for Europe. Col. Mapleson in his suit asks that the defendants be compelled to return $10,000 to him for breach of contract. During the season, he says, he paid Patti $176,000 and all expenses, which is at the rate of $4,000 a performance. The specific charge is that, according to the contract, Signor Nicolini agreed to sing with Patti, but since he has been in this coun- try he has refused to fulfill his part of the agree- ment, whereby the Colonel is damaged $10,000. The papers were served Saturday, just as Madame Patti and Nicolini were about to board the steamer for Europe. The prima donna was nervousiy angry, and hastily strung together a series of counter-charges, claiming that she sang twice without remuneration, and fishing eut from her effects a promissory note from Mapleson for $5,000, making in all a counter claim of $13,000. Leaving this in the hands of her lawyer, she sailed for home. Col. Mapieson arrived in this city ina private car from Boston last evening. He was driven to the New York Hotel. Your correspondent arrived on the scene just as the Colonel shut himself up in his room. “You came to Inquire about my supposed trouble with Patti,“ said the manager, without waiting to be questioned. I am glad tobe able to set the } public right on the subject. I never. for the moment, thoughtof bringing any action against Mme. Patti. She has DONE HER DUTY BY ME ADMIRABLY and has filled her contract to the very smallest let- ter. On Friday et last when I was called be- fore the curtain with herat the end of the last scene I intormed the public that she had never dis- appointed an audience, nor given me a moment's discomfort, a statement I would be unabie io make with regard to many other artists. On that night she embraced me before the audience, we parted, and I have never seen her since. It is possible, however, that her name is brought into the legal document with that of Nicolini. You see the Madame was id $4,000 a night, but of that amount she paid N icolini 8600 a nigat. The trouble all comes from the fact tnat the contrauc:s of the two artists were biocked together. The action was raciically, if not actually, against the Signor, and Eim only. My complaint agalust him is that. havi engaged him at an immense salary, as — tenor, he was never on hand wnen I wanted hun. He was wedded to his billiard table, and is still. Think of his having a private table in his room wherever he went, and rattling the balls all day and over half the nigat, but he was not satisfied with that even and spent about nalf the rest of uis time in the public biluard pariors. I begin to fear for my Loudon season with Patti; you know she is engaged to sing at the Covent Gardenin June under my management. On her recent departure she had no les tnan five billiard players down to the boat to see her off. She thinks so much of biiliards already that I am afraid any further contact with the game will render her as useless as my tenor. A number of times when he was announced to sing he could not leave his billiards. NICOLINI'S INDEPENDENCE. “For instance, the floal day at san Francisco we had the house crowded to hear him in Faust,“ as he had agreed. He did not appear, but seut word by his agent taat he would not sing, not even con- descending to give any reason for his failure. At the last moment I had to change the opera. 1 could meation other like occasions when Nicolini faiied me atthe hour of need, and at these times the only thing I objected to was taat wuile he was unable to appear on tue stage, he could continualiy keep up his biluard.. During the entire six montas he has only sung six times, and yet he has been drawing $600 per uight every time Patti appeared. tion’ on his part. I claim that no man can ve suf- fering from indis position when he can play biu- jiards all night. | THE only official list of Fire Alarm Stations and St. Louis Pocket Guide is for sale at the counting room of the Post-Dispatcn.

The Circuit Court said that that was no tault of the contractor, and that it did not invalidate the ordinance, hence Perkinson got judgment. The Court of Appeals, however, held that Council should have seen the plans, profiles and estima‘es before passing the ordinance, and since it did not, tne or- dinance was void, and the contractor could get nothing for his work. Perkinson lost another large amount of money under much the same circumstances. An ordinance was introdu to pave a part of N.
