The swimmer found a “JUST FUR FUN.” Capt. Paul SBoyton’s : Dangerous Joke on the English Corvette ‘Garnet. a. - —— The Noted Swimmer, Accompanied by a Party of Reporters, Floats Under the British Vessel and Fastens a Dummy Torpedoto It—The Discov- ery and Explanation. By Telegraph te the Post-Disvatoh. New Yorx, May 7.—Capt. Paul Boyton, swim- mer, Irish Nationalist and of the rank of chevalier in half a dozen languages, told some friends on Tuesday afternoon that he was going to fix a “dummy torpedo” that night in the bull of the British ship Garnet, now lying“at anchor in the Narrows, off Tompkinsvilie. The reporter met him that evening and at 9:30 o'clock the party was at the Battery. Tim Hag- gart, the swimmer's right-hand man, was waiting at the foot of the stairs with a Whitehall boatman. The party landed at Tompkxinsville, and were some- what startled to find several man-of wars men standing above the wharf. Two midshipmen stood a little apart from the rest, looking anxiously in different directions, They were not hunting for dynamiters, though; they were only looking for a Staten Island boatman. Capt. Boyton and his right-hand man went away down to the end of the lumber wharf, and the Captain put on and inflated his big rubber suit. He leoked like a gigantic Esquiman. Only his face was exposed. All the rest of his costume, even to his finger tips, was shining black rubber. He silently slipped into the water, and the whole expedition was about to start, wben some more of the English sailors came down to Wiener’s Hotel and called loudly for boat- men. Boyton got out of — It was after mid- night when the last three sailors were rowel away to their ship, and then the funbegan. Jim Delehey put the re of a ruboer bag to his.mouth, and blew into it till it looked like an immense biack castor. = capsule. Them he put a lot of cobble stones nto it. “She would carry 125 pounds of dynamite if we wanted to do any mischief,” said yton, as he bobbed up and down, floating on his back. Denny scribbled ona piece of paper, “With the compliments of Capt. Boyton and his staff,” and thrust it into the hee here were sixty feet of rope attached toit,and Boyton tied one end of the line to a ring in his belt. Slowly at first, but soon adding to his speed, he paddled away until he was A BLACK SPECK IN THE DISTANCE. Then the reporters and two other invited guests clambered down igto the Whitehall boat, and took to their oars. The?te were nine people in the little craft. She sank almost to her gunwales. About a quarter of a mile off shore lay the Garnet, with a wiite pant in her fore rigging. Boyton paddied dowfi the narrows, fighting his way against the flood tide until he was about a quarter ofa mile below the vessel. Then he let himself float with the tide aud siowly bore down on her. He did not paddle merely steering with the biade, which he moved without a ripple under the water. He made a mistake in his vessel, though, and dropped down alongside the Uni States cutter Endeavor. He quietly tied the bag to the cutter’s anchor chain and let himself float away. The sma!! size of the vessel made him suspicious, and, to make sure, he shouted to the marine who paced the deck: “What véssel is this?” “The Endeavor,” cried the man in: reply. “Well, then, let me come alongside and take away a torpedo I've tied to her by mistake,"’ re- plied Boyton. “For God's sake take it away quick!” yelled the marine. Boyton unfastened the bag and again tied the end of the line to his belt. This time he made sure of the Garnet before drifting down on her. It was hard work, forthe harbor was full of all looking alike, black and motionless in the darkness. Again paddiing awayto a safe | distance, Boyton let thetide sweep him to ward the There was not a sign of life on her of spars and netting floating at the bow of the ship tied to the end of the gibboom. Withouta sound he un- tied the line from his belt aod madeit fast to the fender on the starboard side. The tide swept it down until it rubbed alongside the ship on the for- ward quarter. Then, letting go, he silently floated noder the stear of the Garnet. As he lay there, face upward, she towered above him, a huge biack mass. Boyton was passing under the stern, co n- gratulating himself on not being detcted, and he bad just dipped his paddle into the water when he was hailed. The slight splash of the paddle biade had caught the attention of the marineon the quarter deck. “Eh there, what's that? what's that?” he ex- claimed, leaning out over the rail and peering curiously at the queer object that bobbed up and down in the shadow. Another head and shoulders were trust over the rail and their owner shouted: “HEY, HEY, WHAT ARE you? What are you doing tnere?” “Oh, I'm only fishing: just trolling, you know,”’ came the answer from the man-fish as he began to ply his paddle. Tne — was too puzzled to fire and Boyton was yards away in a few seconds, Then he yelled exultantly: “I'm ouly fishing, but there’satorpedo on your starboard quarter. Good bye.” The reporters could hear the talking as their boat lay off to windward. There was a hurried cali “to quarters” on board the Garnet. To add to the excitement Boyton took up a brass bugie that hugg from a cord around his neck and blew a lively calls It was the signal for the press boat to row to him, He could be seen paddling along like asteam tug. “ive done it, boys,” he shouted triumphantly, as the boat drew neartohim “I could have biown ieces if nad wanted to.

MAPLESON AND NEVADA, The Sage Brush Linnet Gets Ahead of the Gallant Colonel, By Telegraph to the Post-Dispateh, New York, May 7.—A coach containing Mlle, Nevada and her manager, Dr. Raymond Palmer, drove up to the Everett House about 6 p. m. yester. day. Dr. Palmer alighted, and was about to hand out Mile. Nevada, when Col, Mapleson, accompanied by a deputy sheriff, rushed up and attempted to hand a paper to Miss Nevada. Dr. Palmer resented this and pushed the Colonel back, at the same time ordering the coachman to dive on. Later in the evening the Colonel managed to serve bis papers on the prima donna in ber apartments at the Everett House, in the usual fashion. Last night Col. Mapleson's baggage was all packed in readiness for bis departure for Europe to-day He said that he had paid Mile.

No Assurance That the Necessity of Using Force Has Passed Away—The Occup&tion of Penj-dech—No Relaxa- tion in the War Preparations— Probability of the Defeat of the Government. — Special Cablegram to the Post-Dispatch. Loxpon, May 7.—The situation here is one of party quarrel. The general belief remains un- changed. Lumsden's return is now known to be an accepted resignatiOn, rather than a recall, he find- ing it impossible to work in harmony with the homie Government. The King of Deamark will doubtless accept the position of arbitrator. Nothing more will. be known till the arrival of Captain Stephens from the front next week. Rumors of black clouds on the peace horizon reach me from ® usually well-informed quarter. but I have been unable to obtain any confirmation. Orders were iasued here yesterday to all responsible war officials in no way to relax their efforts. More men of the first-class reserve have been ordered to embark for India. THE BACK-DOWN, Lonpon, May 7.—The opinion is gaining ground, both here and if Eurone, that the Government's ar- rangements are, in a word, 4 complete surrender to Russia of all the points she has demanded. Though the more moderate of the Conservatives condemn Lord Randolph Churchill's endeavors to oppose the war credit, the probability of a defeat for the Gov- ernment is talked of in many quarters. The Morn- ing Post agrees with Lord Churchill about the urg- ent need of ousting the Ministry, ana says; “Eight independent members might have turned Glad- stone's majority of fourteen intoa minority. After the terribie events of the past week will they be forthcoming?" The Standard says that the dignity and powers of Russia and Engiand were embodied in General _ Komaroff and Sir Peter I-umsden, and that M. De Giers will take care that Russiaw prestige in the person of Komaroff shall not be dimmed, while the English Ministry has already decided that of En. gland is to be extinguished. “a further misfortune,” says tho Standard, ‘‘is that we are by no means assured that even for the hour the necessity of using force has passed away.” The Neue Freie Presse of Vienna predicts that Italy will become estranged from England by the latter’s indecision of policy and attitude. An unconfirmed rumor is current that the Indian Departments have been ordered to cease their war preparations. It is reported that General Zelenoi will go either to St. Petersburg or to London, to assist in the de- limitation of the frontier. CONDUCT OF THE TORIES. Lonpon, May 7.—The Times, commenting on the attitude of the Conservatives towards the Govern- ment, respecting the Afghan question, cbharacter- izes the conduct of the Tory leaders as unwise. It says that Lord Randolph Churchill was not justified in proposing to refuse supplies to the Government. The approaching election will give the Conserva- ives ample opportunity to arraign the Govern- ment at the bar of public opinion. The Times ar- gues that the Conservative party will be much stronger if it abstains from crude and extravagant proposal. “The Government have mismanaged the Afghan business,"’ the article concludes, ‘but that is no reason for Lord Randolph Churchill’s giving ad- vice which shows that the opposition is incapable of doing better.” THE BOUNDARY COMMISSION REMAINS. Lord Edmund Fitzmaurice, Under Foreign Secre- tary, replying this afternoon, in the House of Commons, to the Right Hon. Edward Gibson, Conservative member for Dublin University, stated that General Ridgeway with Captain Yates and others would remain in charge of the Afzhan Boundary Commission, now that Sir Peter Lumsden is coming to London. “The instructions sent to Sir Peter Lums- ‘den, Lord Edmund continued, “do not {ance his appointment. He has not been sum- woned to London to advise the Government about e frontier. The Boundary Commissioners’ escort / will remain with Gen. Ridgeway, who will carry on the work of the commission on the spot." RUSSIA'S ADVANTAGES. Earl Granville, Foreign Minister, in the House of Lords this afternoon, replying toa motion by the opposition for a production by the Government of the papers in the Russian controversy, used the fol- lowing language: “Ido not believe that if England was going to Wage war against Russia, we should wage it at a disadvantage, and with every advantage in favor of Russia.“’ Lord Granville denied that the Govern- ment's military policy had been a constant failure, and denied, also, that Russia would go to Herat. The motion for production of the papers was then withdrawn. ENGLISH AND RUSSIAN SECURITIES. 12:30 p. m.—Stocks are irregular. American se- curities firm.

THE OCCUPATION OF PENJ-DEH. Trnenan, May 7.—Advices from Sarakhs state that a small force of Russians with four guns now occupies Penj-deh. The same advices contain the statement that the Russians have completely won over the Sarakh Turcomans, The telegraph line is now completed to a point 120 miles beyond Aska- bad. There is an apparent lull in the Russian preparations for war. The Afghan troops along the Bala Murghab, not having received any pay for a long time, are greatly demoralized, SOUDAN SECRETS. o° The Marriage of Lady Lousdale—Adams vs. Coleridge—Foreign News. Special Cablegram to the Post-Dispatch. _ Loxpon, May 7.—We are beginning now to learn \ the truth about the Soudan, as the correspondents, ho are returning, are beyond reach of the censor- jhip of the press. Ctarles Williams, special corre- pt of the Daily Caronicie, who reached here days ago, and left again immediately for Af- nistan, has shown ina magazine article that what they are suffering . Acconnts of | ineredible horrors on the battle fields are now ap- pearing. One officer writes: “In a few weeks more we shall all be lunatics.” A spell seems to have fallen upon the people here. If the Tories had done this, the whole Liberal party, with Gladstone at its head, would be overwhelmed. THE ADAMS-COLERIDGE CASE. Ilearn that the case of Adams against Lord Chief Justice Coleridge has failed tobe arranged, and the latter will be compelled to enter the witness box.

Broog.yn, N. Y., May 7.—The first things found this morning in the ruins of the terrible ca\astrophe on Monday, in South Brooklyn, were two smal! fragments of human fiesh. Almost the first spadeful of ashes that was dug up bore its fruits A piece of livid flesh was scraped by the blade of the tool and laid bareto sight. A few moments later another small piece of flesh, in which the veins and nerves were visible, was uncovered and laid beside the first. Superintendent Goff said: “I called at Police Headquarters and was told that there were still seven bodies missing." The doctors who have examined the shapeless black portions of human bodies taken from the ruins reported this morning that all of the fourteen persons are thus represented. The number of persons reported missing up to 11 o'clock today was twenty-one. Of the dead the bodies of Henry Divest, Adolph Mottes, Frederick Egger and Ed- ward Butlers have been positively identified, and the men who worked in Wm. Durst’s shep say that Henry Haffner is undoubtedly among the unrec- Ognizable bodies exhumed yesterday. It is the general belief that twenty-one does not_eover. all the victims of the calamity, and that when other parts of the ruins are searched more bodies, in those of cluding several young girls, .will be found. The place where the dead have been found is in the rear of the west extension, where the floor fel in, and the menin Durst’s shop were buried in the wreck before the fire occurred, li the injured persons, including Mrs. Henrietta Haas and her daughter Emma, are doing well and will probably recover. The trunk ofaman andthe leg of a boy were found this afternoon in the ruins of the Brooklyn fire. A man named Carlson, a Swede, who worked ia the factory, was reported to the police to-day as missing. THE NORTHWEST WAR. . The Government Troops Chasing the Rebel Half-Breeds.

A Precedent Established for the Re- moval ef Prominent Office-Holders. Suspension of Numerous Postmasters and Appointment of New Ones— Probable Army Transfers—Register Brace Said to Have Resigned— Wash- ington News. ° By Telegraph to the Post-Dispateoh. WasHineTon, May 7.—The Democrats are very much encouraged by the action of the President yesterday in his suspending certain prominent Postmasters for their action as partisans during the last campaign. The precedent having been formed for such removals, it is clear that nearly every prominent Postmaster in the country can be suspended for similar reasons. Ex-Gov. Glick of Kansas, who is.here, says that 75 per cent of the Postmhsters in Kansas are the editors of intensely partisan Republican newspapers. These editors depend upon their offices to obtain money for their publications. Gen. Weaver of Iowa says the same thing about his State. It is probable that a sweep- ing change will be made in the Post Offices at an early day. Mr. Vilas averages now 100 new ap- pointmentsa day. When Mr. Hay returns the work will go on more rapidly. Probable Army Transfers. By Yelegranh to the Fost-Disvatch, Wasuineton, D. C., May 7.—The officers of the staff department of the army are expecting a great many changes in their assignments to duty after July 1, when the appropriation for transportation for the next fiscal year becomes available. Each head of a department has furnished the Secretary of War with a list of officers who have been stationed at any place more than four years, and a general change wili be made, except in cases where the entries of an officer require a peculiar kind of ability. The Pay master-Geveral is having a diffi- cult .ask in making the present transportation fund hoid out until the end of this fiscal year. It can, there, safely be said that no changes will be made during :his month and the next, unless absolutely necessary. It is currently reported, and believed to be the fact, that Blanche K. Bruce, Register of the Treas- ury, bas bandéd in his resignat:on. New Postmasters. WasHINGTon, May 7.—The President to-day ap- pointed the following named presideatial Post- masters: Charles C.

A Republican Elected in the Thirty- Fourth Senatorial District. The Republicans in the Illinois Legis- lature Now Stand 103 on Joint Bal- lot~Proba bility That the Latter Will Elect a United States Senator—To- Day’s Balloting. — -_ By Telegraph to the Post-Dispatch. SPRINGFIELD, Int., May 7.—In the House, Seiter's two mining bills, which passed the Senate, were ad- vanced to the last stage, The enacting words were stricken out of Senator Morris’ bill assessing deadly weapons for taxation. Ray's bill, dispensing with cages in mines forty or less feet in depth, developed much opposition, and the enacting words were stricken out. In the Senate the bill fining any Su- pervisor, County Commissioner or member of a county board’ who fails or neglects to do his duty under the election laws of the State, was passed. THE JOINT SESSION. In the joint convention thirty-five Senators and seventy-one Representatives were present. Two scattering votes were cast. The news from the Thirty-fourth District electing Weaver, Republican, in the place made vacant by the death of Shaw, Democrat, was received with the wildest expressions by the Republicans and in gloom and sadness by the Democrats. This district gave Cleveland a majority of over 2,000 over Blaine, and was regarded,and is surely Democratic, but the Republicans made a “sneak.’* The plot was laid here last Thursday by Logan and the Republicans. Senator Darnell from the district, wires prominent Democrats thatthe Republicans would have out a man and to get full Democratic vote out, but his dispatches were disregarded. The latest dispatches to-day give Weaver, the Repub- lican, a majority of over 200. Each of the four com- mittees in the district is Democratic. The Dem- ocratic mem bers here are disheartened. THE CHICAGO TRUNK MURDER. Aujustind Gareardo, the Assassin, Being Pursued bv Officers. PiTTsByrG, May 7.—The body of the man shipped from Chicago to this city, in a trunk last week, was exhumed today and positively identified by Francesco Caruso as the remains of his brother Filippo Caruso. He thinks that Filippo owas murdered by acountryman named Augustina Galardo, who was preparing to go to Italy. Galardo knew that Fillipo had mouey and frequently importuned him for a sufficient amount to pay his passage over. The murdered man was last seen in coimpany with Galardo and Russo, and Francesco. tiinks that he was chloroformed, and then strangled by hand. Detective Bonfield of Chicago, left for New York. this afternoon to head off Galardo, and Caruso weat to Chicago to secure the arrest of the a compiices there. Damage to Fruit.

One of the players had just captured a large jack-pot, when & proposition for refreshments took five hungry men away from their pleasant occupation for a few moments. Lunch finished, four of the players seated themselves. The absent man for the moment was an eminent physician, at whose house the pastime was going on. hen the | doctor returned to his place at the table he bore in his hand a skull. Why he should interrupt the festivities with this ghastly reminder of every man’s end puzzled all of the gentlemen resent. The surgeon answered the curious look of inquiry upon each man’s face by say- ing: ‘*This is the skull of Wirz, the keeper of the Andersonville prison, who was hanged within sight of my house. When myself and asso- ciates performed the autopsy, we skillfully re- moved this skull from the flesh, carefully filled the cranium with hemp, drew the hair and scalp over it and the remainder of Mr. Wirz was taken tothe graveyard.” The doctor spoke eloquently of the different points of the skull then quietly put it away and the game went on.

A phantasmal little oyster was floating mer- rily around in a translucent stew, while the man who was pine ye stew tried in vain to catch it with a spoor Seeing a bologna saus- age near by, the oyster said: **How are you getting along over there?” “Oh, they are emolishing me pretty fast,” replied the sausage, ‘‘but I'll makethem howl for it to-night. [I can teach people how to howl. J used to howla good deal myself, How are you getting along?” “Oh, I am getting along splendidly,” said the oyster, as the man made a vain and despairing dip at it with his spoon; “they are trying to catch me, but they can’t doit.

You know Judge Treat, when the men were brought before him to be sworn in, sat down very hard on ;, Couzzins, and refused to recognize or become a party to any such proceedings as Mr. Couzzins, had of his own notion, inaugurated. This left the jolly old Marshal with a lot of men on. his hands whom he had taken away from their busi- ness, and who naturally expected pay for tneir time, but whom he could not pay out of the public fund, because THEY NEVER TOOK THE OATH and became officers. His course in that matter, even judged from the standpoint of a Le tagger judge was certainly illegai, and h as it was a strictly party meas ure, comes under the head of ‘offensive partisansh:p’ if anything ever did. You can rely on it, there will be a pretty general sweep here.” “But, wiiy doesn't it commence? e work has been started by a change in the Chicago Post Office?’ ‘Because there is no immediate occasion for it. Of course, changes in federal offices will not be made unless somebody for thaum, and the men who atand the best chance of securing appointment to tbe vacancies which are to be made here are not dis to rush things.” “But why not? Every day counts, doesn’t it?” “Yes, but you must remember tnat while the President can easily create vacancies in these of- fices be cannot fiil them quite so easily. The Senate cunnot prevent him from removing officers, but it can refuse to confirm the men whom ve proposes to substitute, and this is what makes candidates rather conservative. You see, they don’t care so much to get the other fellows out as they doto get themselves in, and there is a danger that —, removals are Bane on very Rg —_ tangible proofs, the publican Senate may ge stubborn and reject tne men appointed to the vacancies, and this would be worse for the inen who are ai work than if there were no removals at ail.” “What wiil be the charge against Whitaey?” “The Springer Investigating « ommittee developed enough evidence ‘to remove Whitney for the part the men whom he sent to Cincinnati took in the October election frauds. The testimony of Siege ew g eas caonah of ueelt § to remove ae men that were sent from hen.” 4. ae will find that itis merely a diversion, and that he has no organized support here. Of course, if it were offered to him he would probably take the Position; but if he haw done anything to secure it there is nothing in local circles to indicate it. You might have mentioned, however, that D. P. Rowland has been urged, although Dick Lancaster has the race practi- ca.ly ali his own way if any change is made at all within the next six months. Itis suspected that Mr. Rowland’s candidacy grew out of Mr. Glover's opposition to Lancaster.” “And what was that opposition based on?” “As I understand it, when Lancaster's friends put him forward for the position, Mr. Glover was either present or was summoned, and was requested by the men who had been active in his campaign to support Dick for the place. He made no remonstrance at the time, but soon afterward it developed that he was offering opposition, and the explanation he gave was, that when his father ran for United States Senator Mr. Lancaster opposed him. Whether this be correct or not, there seems to be no doubt about the opposition.” APPRAISER. It is said that the position of Appraiser bas more aspirants than any other federal appointment, and the number is state? at fifteen. A complete list could not be secured. but the following are a few of them: Clem Creveling (Mr. Glover's. choice), H. D. Cleveland (Mr. O'Neill's choice), D. Robert Barclay, M. H. Phelan, Geo. O. P. Gooding, J. J. Corkery and a Mr. Louderdale. The position is worth $3,000 per vear. COLLECTOR OF INTERNAL REVENUE. Messrs. Rozier and Bird of the lower part of the Tenth Congressional District are the ony gentle- men whose names were mentioned as applicants for the Internal Revenue Collectorship by those of whom inquiry was made, although there are, doubt- less, others. Isaac H. Sturgeon, the present in- cumbent, was forinerly a Democrat, and there are those who believe that beis still good enough a Democrat to hold what he has. SUB-TREASURER. It js said that Col. D. H. Armstrong had designs on the position of Sub-Treasurer, now held by Gen- era! Edwards, butthat he abandoned them after visiting Washington, and that he believes repub- lics are just as ungrateful as people say they are. CRUSHED AGAIN. The world looked gioomy and dismal from the standpoint of Mr. Grund last night as he realized that he had lost two falls out of three in bis wresties with Recorder Hobiitzellie, who is recognized by Mr. Grund and his followers as the arch fiend to whose machinations most of the Republican woes are due. The committee. of which Mr. Grund is chairman, determined a few days ago that three mass-meetings, judiciously distributed, and properly conducted would have the effect of arousing all ci‘izens to an active interest in the contest proceedings, s0 that when the revelations of fraud should begin in the contest cases, the public would accord a ready sympathy to the contestants. The adver- tisements were drawn up and published at consider- able expense, but they were so unskilfully worded as to argue that all of Mr. Filley’s teachings ha: been in vain. When Mr. Fiiley drew an advertise- ment for the meeting. those who attended the gath- ering unusaily found out that if any question arose as to whose meeting it was. an analysis of the terms of the advertisement left no room to doubt that Mr. invitation to the voters, party, to come in and express themselves on the subject of protecting the baliot, and to an experienced politicfan it sounded like an invitation addressed by a flock herd of § wolves to and be merry. The mistake was discovered when the first meeting was held, and it was found that under the terms of the cali the friends of the contestees had just ag much raged, was held afforded second meeting was meeting to night, wRh a golety Ther rane wal an But Harry Snvder, one of the revisors who served nn- der Mr. Hoblitzelle, was made chairman and Mr, Delea secretary. Mr. Snyder made a speech IN VINDICATION OF THE BOARD of which he was a member. and in vindication of Mr. Hoblitzellie. Dr. Pretorius got warmed up, and, mounting the platform, asked whether this was a meeting to protest against the events of last election day or to glory in the fre- sult there accomplished. He was informed it was a hallelujah meeting, and with a deciaration of disgust he retired, saying he wasthe right man in the wrong place, Mr. James Butler delivered an eloquent address in favor of a free ballot and in de unciation of the men who were making a con- test. and at the close of his speech resolutions in praise of Mr. Hoblitzelle and in condemnation of the contest proceedings were adopted. The bills for the use of Lafayette Hall and Turner Hall, by meetings in endorsement of Mr, Hobiitzelie must be pa bv the Repubiican Com- meee of course, and will be charged to profit and OSs.

Another queen’s private existence is not without its characteristic features. The name of the Queen of Naples evokes a figure out of some romance of chivalry and legends. She ageters to our fancy as a heroine in sensational ventures of love and warfare, sometimes heading fantastic uerades and mad revelry in the palace of the Bourbons at Naples, at others defending the last bulwarks of threat- ened royalty on the bastions of Gaeta; visitin the dying in the casemates under the bombs o the Garibaldians, or kneeling at the feet of the Pope to receive his blessing on “his dearly be- loved daughter.” This is yor re lingering in our imagination. In ity the Duchess de Castro, as she is called now, is a quiet, subdued, silent woman, leading a life almost monastical in its monotonous re- am. in an ordinary hotel of the Rue Boissy ’Anglais, in Paris, a street near the Champs Elysees and abutting on the Place de la Con- corde, where another Marie lost her life and her throne. She has lived there through the long years of her exile, after the cottage of St. Mande was abandoned, in 1874, for the Hotel Vuillemont, where the King and Queen occupy two large apartments on the first and second floors. The King has one secretary and the Queen one lady in waiting. A butler, four men and four maids compose the whole of their private staff of servants. For the rest they avail themselves of the general resources of public establishments. The royal couple have renounced the pomps of palaces. Even when visiting Saeatel. Ges Queen’s native city, they put up unceremoniously at the Hotel Bellevue, the quaint old hostelry, with its highly colored, almost historical decorations. During eight months of the year the Duchess de Castro resides in Paris, The remainder of the time she spends at the seaside and in Bavaria. She seems to eschew all splendors, all representation, even the social advantages she might enjoy in a city where she would be welcomed by so many illustrious families more or less related to her. Almost her only amuse- ment is riding, either in the open airorina riding school. She owns large stables in the Champs Elysees, which shesuperintends her- self, and in which she has the warmest in- terest. She never entertains. Hotel life isa sufficient excuse for the non-giving of balls or receptions, Her only visitors are a few old and tri friends, some travelers from Naples, men and women whose names are written on the same pages of happiness and sorrow. On Sat- urday only a few more are admitted, but their ake is always limited. She is intimate only with the Duchess d’Alencon. The Queen subscribes widely, almost prodigally, to any charitable undertaking set on foot by the rich, noble and fashionable women of the best world in Paris. The early worshipers at the Mad- eleine know that the quiet, familiar figure kneeling every coals, at the same hour, before the same altar at low mass, is the wife of the man who accompanies her—a man with a black mustache, a Kourbonian nose and the slight Italian swaggering gait—and that they are the Royal exiles known as the Duke and Duchess de Castro. ° Snakes in the Penj-deh Valley. From the London Times. Remittent fever has of late years payee sad havoc among the Jamshidis of Kushk. All the neighboring valleys, including Penj-deh, are infected, be are only habitablein spring and summer by the acclimatized. Another drawback to valicey is the number of snakes which infestit. In spring the country must swarm with them; at present they are to be found, where there is occasion to dig, some ei hteen ssegmgtind two feet below the surface, ting eepy torpor. Before winter closed es of the Lancers— astrong, healthy young fellow—very nearly fell a victim to one of these reptiles.

Paule Markham was evolved by “The Black Crook” as a beauty, and she had her period on the pedestals. Now she is em- ployed in-a 10-cent form of “The Two Or- ph 1s,” and her married name has an ignoble Itic sound. After there wasa shortinterval, during which many girls were offered to the — for approval, and they were pretty, too, ut a high degree of commanding stateliness seems to be required in addition to charms of detail, else we will simply admire without much devotional ardor. Anderson fell far short of the requirements, though her dramatic ability was satisfactory, and it can not be said that Fanny Davenport ever wore the crown of conquering beauty, But Lillian Russell con- uered from the instant that she emerged rom Tony Pastor's variety show, and her sovereign ended only with the fatness of maturity a year or soago. A break was made for the vacated song by Pauline Hall, a regal brunette of the necessary size and shapeliness, but somehow or other—per- haps because her rise from the ranks of the burlesque chorus has been too plainly in sight —she can not be said to have captured crown. The dudes alone are at her feet, and even to them she can not be aoeety long as she shows in proscenlum boxes along with a German husband, NEITHER YOUNG NOR HEROIO. This spring the position of queen of beauty is open to competition. There are numerous aspirants, One is Estelle Clayton, with whose face and bare feet the windows of Broadway are photographically decorated, and whose debut at the Union Square Theater involved an investment of $10,000 by a manager fresh to the business—a young son of the late million- aire Durant. If she could be e in all her proportions about a third she might be suc- cessful in her undertaking, but at present there is not enough of her. On Thursday afternoon at the matinee performance for the benefit of the Press Club’s charity fund, the copn- test had a novel episode in the lobby of the Academy of Music, wherea booth for the sale of flowers had for salesgirls Pauline Hall, Lillie Grubb, Annie Robe, and Olga Brandon—all foremost in the race for the prize of appreciated beauty. It isn’t likely that in their calling as actresses, oe had ever done so expert and careful work as they did in the fas- cinating dis of bouquets on this occasion. But this exhibition did not determine the mat- ter, and if there exists anywhere in America a superlatively lovely young woman, not less than five feet ten in height, and possessing the natural and accquired abilities todo tolerable acting or singing, she likely might come to New York and be a famous professional beauty.

Trade was duli and the market much of the time neglected, with spasm, of weakness, but on the whole the feeling was quite strong. Kent, Ream» & # Walker are named as buyers of large lines of June wheat, though these gentle- men are silent themselves on thesubject. New York and other Eastern markets adv anced at about the samé rate as our own, while sending but few orders here. The country was buying wheat pretty steadily. Receipts at Western points were 825 cars, being about the same a8 yesterday. The export movement was small, but consideranle wheat is going forward from here. Freights are dull with p.enty of room still offering. The market gatnered strength toward the close, local seilers having gen- erally sold about ali they cared to venture and the demand continuing. The closing cabies generally ee that present values are regarded safe b uglish buyers, thelr crop not looking very well, while all that is said about ours is about as bad as can be. The market closed firm at nearly thé hest price of the a ats were steady and firm, but with a light trade. There was some shipping demand, which caused good prices to be paid for cash oats, Corn was not active, but very strong all day, ex- cepting on some few attempts made to break the price, which were not successful, May was of- fered s ngly and met with a good demand. June and July were the favorite deliveries for buyers, but tittle being dove inthe distant futures. Re- ceipts were light, with two hundred and forty cars expected for to-morrow. Shipping is active to the extent of offerings for cash grain. Freights are rather in the power of shippers, and some very low, h rates are named. The market closed firm at about the top.

Russia tears treaties to pieces and throws her pledges into the air whenever it suits her purpose. This was shown in the warof 1854, and inthe repudiation of the treaty of Paris in 1870, as well as in the recent ad- vance on Peaj-deh. So while ail Eng:and is blush- ing at the Government's humiliation, Russia may at any time march to Herat and Cabuiand laugi at tne trap of shame and mortification isto which she has enticed the proud British nation.” THE SUN. The Sun says: “Peopie are talking about the efficacy of clover tea in cases of cancer. They think it is proved by the apparent recovery of Gen, Grant, but as, in all human probability, Gen.

The Times says: “Austria also refuses Keiley. But for one circumstance Keiley wouid doubtless be forced by this second rebuff to conclude that there is no place like Richmond, Va. It is unfort- unately the case that Keiley sold his effects on re- ceiving his appointment to Rome, and we suppose the Administr..tion must persist in trying him on tne nations of the worid until it finds sume court not too particular to take him.” THE TRIBUNE.

Over Four Thousand Nuisances Abated in Five Weeks—Alarming Figures About Pest Spots—More Funds Needed. ——— $e It is now possible to present something like a co- herent and detailed account of the work done in St. Louis under the impulse of the Citizens’ Sanitary. Commhittee, and paid for with the money raised during the winter by the voluntary contributions of the citizens. Tosum up the situation ina sen- tence, St. Louis is a changed city. While it is true that much remains tobe done, it is remarkable that with so little money in so short a time such 4 task should have been accomplished. Never in the history of St. Louis has the city approached such good sanitary condition as itisinat this present writing, aud one more push of the shoulder to the wheel will put this town intoa condition where- from the municipal fingers may be snapped at threatening epidemics. 3 A Post-Disparca reporter yesterday accom- panied Mr. Charies W. Francis, the chief sani” tary officer, on a tour of inspection throughout the city, and was able to learn by oo sonal view what was being done. Everywhere where work was most needed, work was being done, Gangs of men were to be found here, there and everywhere delving away at suspicious muck heaps, cleaning out bad alleys, draining out and filling up threatening stagnant ponds, making sewer pose Sry Aor digging trenches, and, in a word, leaving that unwelcome guest, the cholera bacillus, no place to hide and propagate. The first work done was the house-to-house in- spection, It was necessary to know where nui- sances were before the attack upon them co uld be made. This wasin itself a gigintic task. n in- spection thorouga and owen as far ag it has gone, was made in the First, Second, Third, Fourth, Fifth, Sixth, Seventh, Eighth, Ninth, Tenth, Twelfth, Thirteenth, Fourteenth, Fifteenth, Six- teenth, Seventeenth, Nineteenth, Twentieth, Tweny-tbird, Twenty-foarth and Twenty- sighth Wards. Thus it will be seen the wards not yet reported upon were the lith, 18th, 21st, 22d, 2th, With and 27th. To give an idea of the magnitude of the task. taking one ward at random, say, the First Ward, here is what was done: Number of blocks examined Number of houses examined Number of bad privies found Number of privies wituout sewer connection... Number of wells found in yards............... Nuniber of wells found in streets Number of cisterns found............... Socewe Number of filthy yards Number of tiithy cellars Number Of Mithy lots... .....cccovccvccccccece se Number of filthy alleys This of course shows that tweoty per cent of the houses in the First Ward have dangerous water- closets, a hig proportion, but one fully borne out in other parts of the city. The total of the wor« is as follows: Number of blocks examined Nu:aher of houses examined Number of bad privies found,...... aachee hegee 4,149 Number of privies found without sewer con- Number of wells found in yards Number of weils found in streets Number of cisterns found........... 6acun sbece 6,028 Number of fii.hy yards 309 Number of filtiuy ce:lars Nuwiper o° filt :y :otS8........... inbpneueh beh we Number of filthy alleys In other words, there was an average of three and a half pestileunce-breeding water-closets in every block visited, enough to poison easily the whole. Added to this is an average of three more cesspools in each block without sewer cvonnection. Out of every seven houses visited one had a positively dangerous privy, and out of every four houses one bada water closet either positively or probably pestalential If the sanitary inspection stopped right at this point it would have justified itse.f before the people. There never was graver need for an examination than St. Louis presented this year. But the work has not stopped here; the location of 3.429 wells has been sub nitied to the City Chem- ist for examination already, and of course analyses will be made. This number differs from the amount given in the table above, but it. must be remembered thatthe tabie is prepared solely to show the resuit of the inspections, not to include all the information received froma every source by the Health Department. In pursuance of the legal method of abating nuisances, 513 cases were brought up wo April 30 before the Board of Health. These comprised 230 cases of filthy yards and lots, 3530 cases of filthy privies,64 cases of fuil, over- flowing and ilezal privies, 50 cases of obstructed sewers, 14cases of fiithy drainage, 2) ponds, 143 filthy cetlars, 5 private al eys, 2 fiithy cow stab es, 8 stagnant cisterns, 3 fithy premises, 4 improperly trapped sewers. Of course tais would make a total of 908 cases, but it must be remembered that often a number of nuisances occur at one place, and are consequently put im as one case. One hundred and fifty of the nuisances above were abated, 104 condemned, 16 dism.ssed. In a great many cases it was not necessary to bring the case before the Board of Heaith in order to secure the abatemeni of tue nuisances. It wasdone summa- riiy. Tuat this isthe case one fact alone is suffi- cient proof. Five thousand and sixty-two property holders were notified to abate nuisanceson their property, and 4,000 yielded prompt attention, aad actually abated the nuisances. TENEMENTS. The qnestion of the condition of the tenements of the city is one of the gravest before tne sanitary committee, and hence a very careful examination was made of those in the Fourth and Seventeenth Wards, tue resuli affording some very interesting facts. In the Fourth Ward seventy-nine tenements with 2,458 rooms held 922 families con- sisting of 4,815 persons—an average of two to a room and of sixty to a house. Seventeen of these tenements were found ina bad condition. In the Seveuteenth Ward ninety ten ate with 1,133 rooms heid 517 families coasisting Of 2051 persons— an average of not quite two to a room and of twenty-seven to a house. Of these ninety tene- ments but four were in order. THE WORK DONE. So much for the inspection. Assoon as enough work was biocked out oy the inspectors, the lauor- ers were gotto work in every of the city. North of Grand avenue saiong tue Bellefontaine road the low land has been ditcnoed and drained and two ponds filled up. Asfarsouta as Ferry street the wor« of ditching and draining bas been carried on until,as the resuit of five wee«s’ labor, the morasses whica disfigured toat part of the city have , disappeared. A bad pond on Nineteenth, near Bre- men avenue, has been filied, and a pipé connection t intoavery nasiy pnd on ‘wenty-fifth and Varren. This is not the piace for an itemized ac- count of the work done, however. Any ore who goes about the city with his eyes open can see the results already. The great pond that disfigured the foot Souiard street is aimost a thing of the past; three days more work will have filled it up, ds iae part of the off} are dis- appearing. Alleys in which the accuinulation of garbage had almost buried the fences are being pulled to pieces and renovated, 4,071 feet of sewer pipe has been laid and ditches and drains cut in every direction where they would do most good. The sanitary committee nas funds enough to con- tinue tuis work fora mouth moré. It is expensive but it is vital. More money will be needed, and a little more money will put St. Louis in a state of sanitary defense unapp by any city in America. The work already done is earnest of the brains and industry which have combined to do the work. Certainty, the Vity of St. Louis asa whole, and the citizens of St. Louis severaliy, can show no excuse why tnis business should not be brought to anend. ‘ihe funds must be forthcoming. “HE WAS A DAISY.” A Strong Testimonial Given by His Friends him, and his relations with the railroad The young men whom he genociated while nore lost track of him after his misfortune, but they all vote him 4 * » and neg Sak Be wis Seis Ene OF fun > ~ tions of inspection oreign couotries. . bas been appointed Inspector of Consulates, and the boys say that there area great many things in which George Vest. jr., can give the oldest Consul a dozen new pointers every day inthe week, Suna- day not barred. A YEAR'S SHOWING. The 117th Annual Report of the New York Chamber of Commerce. New Yorx, May 7.—The 117th annual re- port of the New York Chamber of Commerce shows that for the year 1884 there was a decrease in the imports of the entire country of $57,812,806 from the figures of 1888, and a corresponding decrease in exports of $45,809,273. The imports of coin and bullion increased $7,258,116, butthe exports in- creased $88,668,554. Excluding coin and bullion, the total imports of the port of New York were $38,828,447 less in 1884 than in 1883, and the exports were $18,581,050 less. The imports of coin and bul- lion at this port fell off $6,836,245, and the exports increased $35,020,568. The report says: ‘The year has opened favorably. Our products are going abroad freely. ‘The balance of trade in our favor, i. e., the excess of exports over imports of merchan- dise for the first quarter, ending March 31, i885, is stated by authority at $48,632,664, a marked differ- ence from the showing of the first quarter of 1884, when the imports exceeded the exports by the sum of $21,162,353. The exports of coin have thus far exceeded the imports by $2,500,000, of which over $2,000,000 silver can wel! be spared. We look fora year of gradual revival and a full restoration of true ‘value to every real security and commodity. Already there 1s a healthy revival in many branches of trade, domestic and foreign, but activity in secu- rities can not be expected until their real value is definitely asceriained: in a word, the precise rela- tion of their income to the capital they represent. In regard to the National bank question, the report says tne Comptroiler of the Currency estimates tnat unless ilezisiation will suortiy ve had which will enabie the banks to issue currency at a fair profit, taeir circulation wiil, from the present time,be reduced at tne rate at least of $40,000,000 per annum. It must now be definitely determined whether the National banks shall ionger issue cur- rency, or whether their issues sual! be gradually re- placed with coin certificates, and the issues of the Government. If this latter course be resorted to, as is not improbabie, it is to be hoped they wili be limited to $500,000,000,and,as they have been decided to be a iegal tender by the Supreme Court, thatthe promise of exchange for coin acthe Treasury or any sub-treasury of the United States be stamped upon toe face of every note. With this restriction of issue, the engage- ment of conversion on demand and the withdrawal of all notes under $10, the ideal of a perfect cur- rency would ce reac::ed; an ideai oaly possivie on a metallic basis, sufficiently sirong to guarantee conversiou, but easy in the United States, the largest producer of the precious metals, the con- tinued coinage of which is, and wiilbe, ampie evough to weet the increasing demands of our growing population. A MASHED FACE, Mr. George Green's Beauty Spoiled ina Row in “the Allev.’’ A young and rather good looxing mulatto girl walked into the Four Courts about half-past 9 o’clock this morning, in company with Officer Hill, and said that she wanted to give herself up, that she had “knifeda man up in thealiey.” A few moments later she told her story toa Post-Dis- PaTCH reporter. “My name is Hattie Green, and iI have been living with George Green in the alley between Morgan and. Franklin avenue and Seventh and Eigith for some years yast. Meand him quit a little while ago. This morning I was going down to Maloney’s w:tn Sadie Ross, aud as | was passin’ his place in the alley I thought I would go in and see him. Just as soon as ever he laid eyes on me he yelled out, *fhere the is. I’m going to kill you!’ and he jerked me around and threw me on the floor, He kicked me in the head and jumped on me and I begged him for God's sake not to kilime. Taere wasalot of women in the house and when he got down and began to pound me one of thém banded him a razor or a knife. I’m not sure which. Anyhow I yelled when | saw the woman passit co him, ard she dropped it on the floor and I got huld of it, and cut him. i slashed him in the face wita it, bard. Jif it was arazor, it had no handie, ovutl was so excited I didn’t know.” The girls head is badly bruised = and bears the marks of a drubbing. George Green's wounds are said _ to be serious, but not dangerous. His face is badly bashed and his beauty permanentiy spoiled. The woman, Sadie Ross, was arrested and taken to the Tuird District Station. Hattie Green says that Sadie had oe to do wits the row except to beg George not to kill her. There was a warrant this morniuig sworn out charging Hattie Davis, ajias Green, and Sadie Ross with intent to &ill arising from this case. The battle occurred about 8:30 this morning m the ailey between Seventh, Kighth, Morgan and Frankun avenue. A sUCCESSFUL SOIREE. The Beethoven Conservatory Delights a Large Audieuce. The second musical soiree of the fourteenth seasun of the Beethoven Conservatory was given last night at Memorial Hallin the presence of an audience that occupied every available seat. The performances, which were composed mostly of the efforts of pupils, were most satisfactorily presented, and elicited frequent and hearty ap- plause, Among those whose accom- plishments calls for special mention were Misses Racnel Fraley. Mary G. Franz, Laura E. Fisher, Lina Reinholdt, Birdie Fisher, and Master Herman Epstein, all of whom rendered their instru- mental selections with excellent execution. Miss Georgia Anderson's vocal rendition of Herald's “Pre aux Cleres,’’ elicited the warmest encomiums and was an agreeable surprise to her friends. Tue rest of the procrammne was given by Misses Wiegand, Paulding, Gog, Wetter, Macarty, Jacobs, Nohl, Boeck, Birttan, and Messrs. Stern and Nemours. The following graduates were presented with diplo- mas by Rev. Dr. Niccolls: Misses L. E. Fisher, Lillie McEwing, M. E. Allen, K, E. Torbertand Mr. Paul Nemours. TELEGRAPHIC BREVITIES.

Ben Naylor of Warrensburg, who came down trom Jefferson City iast night, said to a Posr- DIsPaATCH reporter this morning that Governor Mar- maduke was experiencing some difficulty in finding a competent person to send as the State agent to Auckland to bring back Dr. Maxweli. ‘There are any number of applicants,” said the Captain, ‘'sev- eralof whom haye already been offered the ap- pointment, but thus far ali of them have refused on account of the conditions proposed by the Gov- ernor.”’ “What are the conditions?” : * “Well, aliof the information which I have upon the subject 1 obtained from Tom Parks, cuief clerk of the Bureau of Labor Statistics, who was one of the gentlemen favored by Marmaduke with the tender of the appointment. Tom told me that in the course of a cali, whicn he and and Adjutant-General Jamison made at the mansion, the Governor brought up the Maxweil case, and afier a short discussion he asked Jaruison and himself if they wouid like to take the trip to Auckland afterthe murderer. Both the Generai and ‘tom jumped at tie offer, and with suppressed excitement and an affectation of non- cha.ance remarked that to oblige his Excellency they didn’t care if they did, and that they accepted with pleasure, etc. The Governor turned in hig chair, and with a twinkie in his eye, informed the adventuresome pair that the State had no fund out ot which to pay the expenses oi the State agents in such @ case, and that the gentiemen could have the appointment; he would have the papers fixed up immediately, but he desired to impress upon them the fact that they would have to pay their own ex- penses and run the risx of being reimbursed by the Siate islature two years hence. Gen. J wit. a disappointed countenance, said tnat he had ained suthcient glory in the late strike to last him or one admmistration, and he § therefore declined the appointment with thanks. Parks re- marked that, while he was young and ambitious, he didn’t care to frei aud worry his life away waiting on the Legisiature w shape his future, and he also refused the Governor's kind offer. ‘There is no doubt that the Governor will make the appointment only upon the conditions proposed to Jamison and Paras, and I thing that they will put An end to the aspirations of a number of would-be detectives.” Senator Furris of Laclede, speaking upon the saine subject, said: “We have aman in our section of the country wuo is des rous of serving the State in the capacity mentioned in the person of ex- Sheriff R.

Thomas O'Reilly filed three suits to-day in the Circuit Court against Thomas J. Whitman and his wife, Joseph P. Davis and William Wise. The one against Wise is to recover $2,600 alleged to have been paid out by O'Reilly for Wise on a judg- ment against the Big Muddy Coal Company, of which both were stockholders. The object of the other two is to recover a similar amount from Thomas J.

Although the great Buffington was in the box for the Bostons in their game with the New York Club at New York, the latter won another game by a score of 5 to8. Two of the winning club's runs were earned. while the Bostons secured their quota on errors. At times the game was very interesting, but the game was characterized by loose playing. Both Gerhardt and Burdock at second base played an elegant came, and were frequentiy applauded. At Philadelphia the home club won its first game of the season. defeating the Providence Club 9 to 6. The home club played a brilliant game and batted McCormick for nine base hits. The jatter was very wild in his delivery, seven of the Philadeiphias beinz given first on balls. The features of the ame were the base running of the Phillies and ‘arroll’s, Cusick’s and Fogarty’s excellent catches in the field. The Indianapolis and Omaha Clubs played a tie game at Omaha, the game being called at the end of the sixth inning to aliow both clubs to catch the train. McKeon was hit freely by the Omahas, while Black proved a puzz.er to the visitors. The Kansus Citys gave the Clevelands a bad drubbing yesterday. and, but for Sullivan's letting up in the ninth, the latter club would have been shut out.

Not by weakening the system by physic, but by athletic exercise, I would make him run ‘en or twelve miles daily, and give him but two wealsaday. I would not resort to the sudden sweating process either: that is to put the intending fighter between warm biankets. Thisis damaging to the system. We reduce our men best by legitimate out door exercise. When we get a man as light as we want him, say ten pounds lighter than at the weight at which he has to fight, we then begin to build him up gently again. This is the point at which careful training is neejed among pugilists. It is important that the skin, flesh and muscies of the fignter be as hard as possi- bie, so that the blows of his opponent will not so readily cut him or cause much swelling. To attain this we rub our men as hard as we can with a mixt- ure Of horseradish, lemon juice and a little whisky. Alcehol was formerly used, but it is going out of fashion now. The first-named mixture is tne thing to make the skin lixe leather, In fine weather the pugiilist, in training, is out of bed avout > gee in., after having had about eight hours’ sleep. He goes on the road for a seven or eight miles run or walk, without his breakfast. He is allowed a piece of dry toast in his pocket to munch at during his journey, but that is ail. When he returns we rub kim with the mixture already named as hard as we can with rough towels, and then he is ailowed 1 good square meal,inciluding @ good supply of half raw beef.” “Why is the beef haif raw?” “Why, yousee it makes him fiercer. Many of our gentler kind of fizhters don't like the raw veef business at first, but they soon get used toit. Dur- ing all this time the trainer keeps the arms and hands of his man in practice by soft-giove exercise, but as the day oftiefizht approacies the puzygilist is kept busy atthe gum ball or sand bag if the fight is to be under the Marquis of Queensberry rules Our man must be taught to pouad the sand bag as hard as ever his sirength aliows for tiree minutes atatime. ifthe London P. R. rules are to govern the fignt, we want hin quic«, fierce aad strong. The raw beef process aids himto be sav- age and gluttonous for his Oppouent’s blood, and he is extremely anxious torushin and smasn the other feliow all to pieces."’ “During a fight between two men, what clear proofs are there of inferior training?’ ‘Well, if a man is badiy trained the blows he re- ceives will readily cut and disvolor his skin. His eyes especially will swell greatiy and he becomes biind. I bave known instances wuere the seconds have been coimpelied to cut the swoilen eye of their charge and actually suck the blood out, I things that no man should enter the ring without a plaster around his body. ‘This protects uis ribs from being broken and weakens the force of pewerful stomach blows. Billy tdwards, Benny Campbell and oid Pat Moran all wore these plasters when they fought in this district and they ail won their battles.” Mr, Davis closed his explanatory remirks with a strong protest agaiust tae police interference of prize-fights. Said he: “If two men want to fight iet them do it, and I jike to see them do it well; tuat is, slug each other as long as they can.’’—(|Com- mercial Gazette. Coming Yacht Kaces. Notwithstanding that the race for the America’s cup is still-some three months away, yachtsmen throughout the country are eageriy watching for every fresh piece of news concerning the event, which will beyond doubt be the most important of its kind in the history of yachting since 1851, when the old America won the cup from Engiand. Dur- ing last week final arrangements have been made between the special committee appointed for this purpose by the New Yor« Yacht* Club, and repre- sentatives of the English yachtsmen, which, although they have not vet been made public in detail, have fixed the time for the contest at or about September 1, the day to be definitely decided when the Genesta arrives at New York. There will be three races sailei with the Genesta, and the yacht winning two out of the three events will be entitled to thecup. Should the Genesta be beaten the Galatea wiil afterward be sailed in a similar match, all terms and conditionsin the first race to hold good in the second contest, which will follow the first within a reasonable length of time. Uniess ‘ different arrangements should be made upon the arrival of the English yacits one of the series of contests will be over a triangular ocean course, the i starting from off Sandy Hook. Another will be a race dead to windward and lee- ward and back, starting from off the Hook, the lightship, or whatever Joe may be decided on, and the other to be sailed over the regular course of the New York Yacht Club in the bay. The trial races which are to decide which of the yac bts of this conntry sball have the honor and re- sponsibility of bearing the c ub’s penant in defense of the cup will take piace during the jast ten days of next month, and will be open toall sloops sixty feet and over on their water line. These contests alone will excite much interest in yachting circles, for each craft entered will certainiy be sailed to the best possible advantage that wind and weatner will permit of, the winner being entitled to double hon- ors, in that she will have won the right to fly the American colors in the great race of September by having established her Sperier ny over all com pet- ing American yachts. ork upon the yachts now building for these races at Brooklyn, Boston, Wil- mington and Philadelphia is proceeding rapidly, and all that money and skill can do to construct perfect specimens of the American type of yacht is being done by the clubs and individuals building them.— [Tribune.

He wasan enthusiastic lover of sports, and was widely known as captain and coach of the Beaverwyck Boat Club. in him was exemplified the gentleman in aquatic sperts. Pluck and grit were his distinctive characteristics, and withal he exercised common sense and cleverness in his own rowing and in the coaching of crews.

Murray, the change catcher of the Providences has been released at his own request. Hé goes to Biddeford. ° Crowley, catcher of last year's Philadelphias, has signed wi » the Meridens, of the Southern New En- giand Leacue. It is said that the Nationals have the largest bank balance to show for their April games of any single club in the country. . Lon Knight has sufficientiy recovered from his re- cent injury to fill his position at right fleld, and is playing good ball again. Manager Hughson and Dan Brouthers made a ersonel call on President Cleveland while the isons were in Washington. The Athletic and Philadelphia clubs are supposed to have netted about $2,000 apiece from the spring series of games between them, Cahill, the short stop of the Atlantas, was fined $50 by Manager Schmelz a few days since, for dis- puting the decision of the umpire. Carroll sent the ball won by Pittsburg from Cin- cinnati, in the recent great sixteen-inning game, to his friends in California as a trophy. The season is very young yet. One sixteen, one fourteen, one twelve, one eleven, and quit?a num- ber of ten inning games Ifave been played. As Gross has fallen heir to a fortune, and isn't anxious to have his fingers smashed, the Philadel- phias will have to get along without him. Tim Keefe says he will run Tom Deasley 100 yards for a year’s salary. He wiil give him five yards’ start and allow Mrs. D. to hold the stakes. Charles A. Moody of Biddeford, has resicned from the Eastern New England Léague Directory, Mr. Kenneta W. Sutherland is his successor. The Yale Collegians are somewhat discouraged at the poor April showing of their team, and have as much hope of winaing the college champion- ship. Base Ball stock is booming in Washington.

The Crow, Hargaridine & Co. nine defeated the St. Louis News Company Clud last Saturljay bya score of 19to 1. The feature of the game was the batting of Dugaa and McSweany of the C., H. & Co.'s. The Providence quartette of pitchers comprises Shaw, McCormick, Radbourn and Lovett. Boston aid Shaw's fine and counted on securing him, but neroft was too crafty, and signed him for Provi- dence.

Davis & Co.; on Sunday, May 10, there will be a ga‘ne, at 9:3) a, m., at the Comp- ton Avenue Park, between Gymnasium and Crow, Hargardine & Co, Radbourn’s physical condition is such as to excite great interest among the lovers of the game in Providence.

An English sporting authority says American athietes are ahead of thelr English brethren in the one particuiar that ‘they will not stand making a living out of the sport and yet posing as amateurs.” Referriug to a recently adopted definition of an am- ateur athlete in America, it says: “For reasons that will be obvious tothe general body of athletes, no rule of that kind would stand much chance of pass- ing im England. At ali events, it is too much to ex- pect it from passing among its members several who directly derive a considerable portion of their mecomes from the sport by handicapivg, reporting, judging or running journais devoted to athietics.” On the grounds of the South London Harriers, at Baiham, England, recentiy, J. E. Dixon established his Claim to the fifty miles running record. On the 29th of December of last vear, at Birmingham, he was credited with running the distance in six hours tweuty minutes and forty-seven and one- fourth seconds, thus beating the record by nearly ‘hirteen minutes.

This sum has been contributed by 2,870 persons, Both the amount andthe number of subscribers are most encouraging showing that notwitnstand- ing the opposition, which the movement has excited among afew narrow-minded people, the mass of in” telligent people believe in reciprocating the gen erosity of France and in preparing a fit reception for the great Statue. The friends of the cause shoula enter into the work now with renewed vigor and interest, be- cause the ship bearing the colossal statue has already sailed from Rouen and will soon arrive in American waters. Liberty has only half a place to stand on as yet,and it will nevér do to have her coldly welcomed where her feet first found a firm resting place. It willmeverdoto have the Goddess begging for hospitality from her own worshipers when a single dime from all of those who have en- joyed the benefits of her influence would be sufficient to prepare a4 noble pedestal as ber everlasting monument. If a dollar, or fifty cents, or a quarter, or even a dime is too much, send a nickel. That, at least, will show that a per- sonal interest is felt in the memorial of two great nations to freedom. Those who cannot give much can exert themselves to afford others an oppor- tunity. Time and talents are valuabie aids when roperly applied, and much can be done by 4 little abor among one’s acquaintances. The Germania Club, which bas already given handsomely to the fund, adds another neat sub- scription.

New York, May 7.—Speaking of the Bartholdi fuud, the Worip says editorially: ‘Renewed in- terest has been awakened in the WorLp's Bartholdi pedestal fund, and contributions are rolling in from every quarter. Our grand total now is 422 91. This sum has been contributed by 43,933 patriotic people. Thisis an achievement worthy of note. No such popular subscription has ever been raised inthe United States. Larger sums have been raised by ae offerings, but we do not recall a subscription made up of so many individual con- tributions. This is as it should be. The Wor.Lp means to raise $100,000 for the cause of liberty, and it hopes to have a hundred thousand contributors, who can proudly point to the magnificent monu- ment in years to come and say, ‘I heiped.’” Vittace Cart harness, black and fair, cheaper than anywhere else at J.

It is now conceeded by knowing ones that the Texas and St. Louis will have tocome under thé hammer and be sold tothe highest bidder. The debt is entirely too large for the road to carry, and under the present dull state of affairs it is all the line can do, under the most favorabie circum- stances, to earn its operating expenses. Before the expiration of the summer it is probable that the road will have been sold out and reorganized. As was predicted yesterday by a majority of St. Louis raiiroad men, the Chicago meeting resulted in nothing. To-day the roads are further away from arranging the Omaha and Council Biuffs fight than they were ten days ago. In fact, St. Louis roads have become disgusted with the manner in which Chicago roads manipulate rates and break faith,and even were the Chicago roads to fix up matters, the lines out of here would have no faith iu the armistice, and, consequently,would refgse to be governed by their action.

Ritter- Nichols Stationery Compary filed articles to-day; capital, $25,000, Governor Marmaduke went over to Mexico to- day. The object of the trip was not learned. An attempt was made to fire the Missouri Pacific Depot last night. About midnight the night op- erator, Frank Schiller, discovered a fire blazing up between the depot building and the platform, along- side and fronting the building, which he soon ex- tinguished, as the flames had not ten under headway. A large lot of oil aa had been crammed in the narrow opening between the plat- form and the depo some of which had falien to the ground underneath and was then set on fire. Schiller fortunately discovered it very soon after the incendiary’s match had been applied, and thus saved the building with but slight damage. Suspicion as yet rests on no one, The weather is Quite cool and at this hour a light snow is fulling. THE DEED OF A FIEND, A Mother Butchered in the Presence of Her Children, -_-___oO a C—O A Tragedy That Startled Austin, Texas, This Morning—An Unknown Man Enters a Residence and Kills Eliza Wilson, a Colored Domestic—The Epidemic of Crime in Austin. By Telegraph te the Post-Dispatch. Austin, Texas, May 7.—The terrible epidemic of crime that has recently overrun this city culmi- nated this morning. in one of the most brutal mur ders that has ever disgraced the community. The victim was only a poor colored woman named Eliza Wilson, but the circumstances surrounding the bloody deed give to the assassination all of the ghastly horrors of utter heart- lessness. The deceased has been for years acting as servant in the family of Dr. L. B. Johnson, who is one of our most prominent citizens She was an exemplary and trustworthy domestic, hard-working and friendless widow. She slept in au isolated wing of the Johnson residence, and in the same bed with herself reposed her three little children, the oldest of whom is only 7 years of age. At an early hour this morning an unknown wretch entered her room, and all that followed will never be known, as there is no one to tell the terrible story save the frightened children, who were terri- fied into silence and made to cover their faces in the bedclothing while their mother was being hacked to death withanaxe. The helpless little ones, afraid to move, lay bathed in their mother’s blood till 6 o'clock this morning, at which heur the fearful outrage was discovered by passing neigh- bors. A burried examination showed that the woman's head had been MASHED TO A JELLY, and her trunk rifled and robbed of whatever arti- cles of value it contained. A UVoroner's jury is now holding an inquest, and the greatest excitement prevails over the horrible murder. The murder ac- quires a fearful significance from the fact that almost night after night for weeks past several attempts have been made to outrage servants in various parts of the city. A band of colored fiends seem to have confederated to- gether forthis purpose, and, although they have thus far only raided the sleeping apartments of hired domestics, their conduct has become a source of terror to the whole community, and this latest outrage puts all good citizens upon their guard. There is no telling where the murderous epidemic is drifting, and, in the present state of excitement, vengeance sure and speedy is certain to follow any miscreant caught in the commission of a midnight crime. Only a few weeks ago the City Council placed fifty extra policemen on duty to suppress nocturnal lawlessness, but now that these diabol. ical deeds are again being perpetrated, the people will take the matter in their own hands, and soon effect what the police force has utterly failed to accomplish. Lynch law is bad, but anything is preferable to the rampant and unpunished crime which startles this community. THE MICHIGAN CENTRAL Annual Report and Election of Officers at Detroit.

Commissioaer of Pubic Builuings Kledus says that many of the statements pubiisbed regarding the coud:tion of the new $50,000 House of Refuge buiding are weorrect. He deuies most empanatic- aily thai the safe.y of the building is at all imper- ilied by the presence of water in the basement, anil insists that $700 wouid restore the cement floor ot the foundation, and effect ali Otoer repairs necessary to put it in as good condition as it was when the departiment iurned it over to the Board of Managers some fifteen months ago. Mr. Kieuus aiso states that the impression that ue is re>ponsibie for the condition of ali city buildings is an erronrous one, tue fact being that the City Hali, the Court House and the Four Courts, are the only oues ne is required to devote bis care to. He is reieved from responsibiuty regarding all other public buildings woes they are turned over to the persous for waom they bave been built. The ques- arises of who is rvall ticd LOW responsible for the present coaditica of tne new House of Refuge, aud if no one comes forward to claun it,who is going to assume the responsibility of paving the repairs made which are uecessary for the builuing’s preservation from early decay. he general op.n- ion around the City Hail is that the Board of Man- agers are tue responsibie parties, but they have not yet been beard from, and possibly may be of another opibioa, WATER-STEALING EXTRAORDINARY. Water Rates Assessor F. W. Mott made an inter- esting discovery w-day in the shape @& secret connection between the hydrant in tue yard of No. 1629 Clark avenue occupied by a saioon keeper named Fred Haase, anu the well situated under twe sidewaik in tront of tue saloon. ‘ihe Sanitary Association Cuemists, in making their examinations of the weils in the neigubornood, discovered that whie the water im auother well close by was clear but impure, thatin the weil in question was muddy but pure, and ia ali bore so close a resembiance to bydrant water that Mr. Mott was notified. At 10 o'clock this morning he proceeded to Haase’s piace, which be reuts from a man pamed A. Wackman, aid invaded the ceiiar, where he made the interesting discovery that, with the aidof an iron gas pipe rua from the weil through the rafters in the X im rubber hose conaection, the ant water was made Pe) into the jng any required Inspectors Irving, ang assisted by Police with water at the Pay teen aud ceedeu ag Charles Timmerberg, stores and Man chester Road, near Stewart avenue, “What do you think of Mr. Gartenbach's resolu- con ognien you to inform the House whether or nos its every who desires to one all subjects. th the more given the udgment in such business is he knows that it is not ourfault.

Assembly asking that the -buildin ordinance amend 60 as to exempt sch houses from the fire escape Clause,” said Commis- sioner of Public Buildings Kiedus this morning. “Is did not emanate from the Board of Public Improve- ments, bat I would like to see the amendment carried, for the reason that fire escapes would be of no earthly use in a burning school building. In the event of a fire in an pe school hardly any of the children would be abie to use the escapes, and = { na’ Ciltea simply throw themselves from them é mn OPPOSED TO THE ORDINANCE. Mrs. E. P. Johnson, representing the W. C. T. U. of Missouri, called at the City Hall to-day to look after the ordinance which proposes to transfer foundlings to the St. oe my Asylum and pro- vide for their keep there. W.C.T. U. is op- posed to the bill, and Mrs. Johnson, who has beea eens with the work of preventing its e if possibie, was looking up the question of its uncon- stitutionality which she had been informed was its vulneravie feature. She intends ta secure City Counselor Beiil's opinion on the subject. TO FIGHT THE TAX. The merchants and manufacturers have de- termined to make a bitter fight against tue proposed collection cf the merchants’ tax,"’ and the result of arecent conference between several leading firms was the decision to engage counsel and at once take jegai steps in preparation for the conflict. The services of Mr. Judson of the legal firm of Hough, Overall & Judson have been retained, and City Counselor Bell has been’ requested to name a day at which he can hear merchants, manufacturers and their counsel in protest against the collection of the tax, before he prepares the opinion on the subject which the Mayor has requested him to provide. Whichever way the resuit goes Register Tracy seems to be in fona fight of it. If, after hearing both sides to the controversy, City Counselor Beli decides that the Register must not collect the tax, then he will be at once proceeded against by mandamus on the part of the School Board; if the decision is that he must collect it, then toe merchants and manufac turers will bring suitof some Kind against him. The School Board Committee have engaged the services of Clinton E. Rowell, who with Leo Ras- sieur, attorney for the Board, and T. E. Russell, chairman of the comuiittee, constitute a legal trio who will not abandon the contest while there is an avaiable fighting ground left. PLEURO-PNEUMONIA, The Disease Raging at Cynthiana, Ky.— Registered Cattle Alffecced. SPRINGFIELD, Iit., May 7.—The following dispatch has been received from Frisbie & Lake of Cyn- thiana, Ky.: *‘Not having any sickness among our cattie since last November, we were beginning to feel that we were clear of the pleuro-pneumonia, but find the disease has again broken out. Hanni- bal Duke, a very fine and valuable bull, is sick, and will probably die. We are fearful that it will take all summer to weed out this dreadful disease. We propose to use every precaution to prevent its spread. Wegive you this, for we feel it our duty to keep nothing so important from the public. The disease has been confined strictly to our registered cattle." RESTED EASY. Gen. Grant Busily at Work on His Book To-Day. New York, May 7.—Gen. Grant slept seven hours last night. This morning he aroused at the usual time and took such food as serves for his break- fast. At 10 o'clock he took up a pad and pencil and began the arrangement of notes for his next dictation. In the morning Col. Grant said the stenographer was expected during the day, but that he (the Colonel) would strive to pre vent his father from dictation to-day, believing he had best rest his throat and devote his time to the arrangement of data.

Progressin St. Louis. a eR ee Musical Culture—The Line of Choral Succession—The Different Societies Which Have Flourished in the Future Great—Plans of the Choral Society. oO The announcement bas already been made of the fina] determination of the Choral Society to under- take the dedication of the Music Hall next fall. This is a heavy undertaking of itself, but the Choral Society will, in all probability, not stop here, but will attempt to place choral music in Bt. Louis on a firm and lasting basis, so that the city will not be without the means of hearing the works of the great composers interpreted in an ade. quate manner. Among the plans of the manegers of the society is included the giving of a series of concerts next winter in ad- dition to the fine concert of the dedication festival. These concerts, four in number, with the r five, will be considered a contiauous series for which subscription tickets will be sold on the of $20 for two seats. Tre single spe neal paeny tickets or single concert tickets will be at higher roportional prices. These eubecr! on tickets will nsure the expenses of the festival, and the socie will be enabied to go straight ahead, and wit some assurance of support. But whether the sup- port should be forthcoming in advance or not, there is not the slightest doubt but that the festival and the su ng concerts will be given. The past season has been a severe one, but al- though apparently idle, the society comes out of it in better condition than ever—stronger numeric- ally, and with better material for erus work. Nothing has been done in a public way to keep the musical spirit alive, because there has been n0 lace to a concerts, and the completion of the Music Hall being expected during the winter, the society was debarred from forming other plans. It couses out of the wiater, however, strong and read to go ahead in the work which has been 580 w begun. The organization after the Wagner con- certs was changed forthe better, and se- cured in itself the necessa finan- cial ., backing to uude a any work which may be thought proper. This was se- cured by the election of a presideait and vice-presi- dents, including in the number the staunch friends of the society who have stood by it ever since its couception and have hel itout in its times of need, These officers, with the Executive Commit- tee, constitute the business department of the soci- ety. R. S. Brookings, who has been one of the best friends of choral efforts, is president, and the vice- residents are Samuel M ennard, J. R. Lion- erger, W. 8. Stuyvesant, F. A. Drew, L. Methud and Dabney Carr. Executive Committee: Geo. W. Taussig, Geo. M. Bartiewt and Geo. B. Markham. THE EXISTENCE AND GROWTH of the society from smali beginnings to its present proportions and standing is due in great measure to Prof. Joseph Otten, the musical director. it is possibie that the organization will be still further changed next year. It will be if any better method of placing on a permanent and independent basis can be devised. One ofthe chief difficuities con- nected with choral singing here has been the lack ofa permanent orchestra connected with the chorus. When an orchestra has to be picked up and bastobe paid for every puff of the cheex or bend of the eibow, the expenses mount up and yet no satisfactory result can be obtained, because the orchestra and chorus are not sufficieatiy famiiiar witn each other’s methods, and the orchestra collected in this way has never the therough sympathy with the work which a perma- nent orchestra would possess. Among the plans, therefore, of tke society is the formation of a per- manent orchestra which will work conjointly with the chorus in the production of good music, and in ail of its efforts to grye St. Louis the best creations of the great masters, When this is accomplished the Choral Society will be independent of outside orgarizations and will have the material in itself to keep abreast of the richest musical culture of the ime. The members of tue chorns will be increased 500, and kept at that number manently. St, Louis will then have an organization second to none in this country. This consummation will be bailed by the lovers of music in this city with delight as the crowning achievement of years of costly struggle and disappointment continued in one way »}or another. Devotion to the cu:tivation and ad- vancement of music here has involved almost thankless labor and the opening of the music lov- promised in court to-day by a retraction of the | slanderous language and conse.t for a judgment | in fayor of the piaintifis for nominal es an costs.

They have either been knocked in thé head or have fallen by the wayside from sheer weakness. The tracing of iis growth to the present time is full of interest, and although there have been many failures the steady progress from time totime can be seen plainly, Experience has taught the leaders and mauagers valuable lessons. At tae worst and most rs becna coterie of musical people to take up the burden and continue the line of succession. This can be traced from tne beginning to the present ime, It speaks all the more powerfully for the genuine love of music which there bas been in St. Louis that these efforts have nearly always been attended by financial loss, = the managers, undaunted, have begun again, About the first choral society of which there is any remembrance among the oldest musicians was ihe Oratorio society, which flourished under Mr. Craries Bainer’s leadership for a time, and may be counted among the early institations of the city. This was succeeded by the Philharmonic, which was organized in 1859, and enjoyed ten years of prosperity and success. it was formed under the geniai influence of good cheer after a concert given under tne directien of Mr. Waidauer for the benefit of Trinity Church, at Mercantie Library Hall. Mr. Dabney Carr invited the musicians to a spread afterward, and then the idea of forming a musical society was first broached. The result of it was “the Philharmonic. It included both orchestral and choral parts and in its time was probably the best organization of the kind inthiscountry. It brougnt Edward Sabilesky, one of the greatest of musical directors, to this city, and under his leadership the organization was brought to a high state of perfection. Its series of SiX Concerts every season constituted the musical events and subscription tickets of $50 each were in immense demand. Armong the organizers of the eee Sate A. Waldauer, Charies baimer, Dabuey Carr, Wm. and Henry Robyn, James E. Yeatman who was the first president, and Geo. W. Parker, late president of the Ovouncil, who acted as treasurer: Under its guidance music flourished in St Louis and musical culture was given an impuise which is yet felt. Mr. Sabliesky was allowed to leave the city, and an ambitious attempt to construct a hall involved the erganization in debt, which ended finally in its dissolution at considerable cost to the managers. After the wreck of the Philharmonic another oratorio society was organized under the leadership of Prof. North, with both orchestra and chorus. Concerts were given in the Merchants’ Exchan Hall, but after several attempts and considerab loss the oratorio succumbed to the inevitable. lt was followed by the Harmonie, which had a brief existence of some two years. It was under the direct of Robert Goldbeck, and after several concerts in the Mercantile Library Hall it broke up under the strain of financial ter. None of these societies had large choruses. There have been several others of more or jess importance, but this brings the history of choral efforts to the formation of the choral society some five years ago.

By Telegraph to the Pest-Disvatch. New York, May 7.—There was an increase in the number of tenants living at 490 Third Avenue. Up to 5 o’clock on Tuesday morning there were only twenty-six persons, all of them asleep at that hour. Mrs. Anna Viering gave birth to a littie stranger, 80 little that even the smallest sunbeam that crept through the haif-closed shutters was larger than the newcomer. It was agirl,and as weighed by the attending physician, by the old-fashioned scales, pulled down but eight ounces, and an eight ounce baby aliye and kicking was a thing so uncommon in the doctor's practice that he sank back into a chair more astonished, then rose disappointed, and laid the child by the side of its mother. It was scarcely eight and three-quarter inches long, from the crown of ite head to its feet, fully developed. It cried lustily, just as a much larger baby would. The story of its birth is almost as marvelous as the size of the baby. It was just 4o’clock, hardly light enough to see clearly, wuen tke beil of Dr. Charies Rotun’s house, No. 231 East Fifty-eighth street, tingied violently, and as the door swung open a breath aod scarcely able to the physician to the . Vi Half ao hour later the tiny baby saw the light of day. Mrs. Viering is the mother of four well-developed children, the eldest being a stout lad of 16, who works as a plumber’s . There is nothing unusual about the other children, who are of tue ordinary size. Mrs. Vier- ing is 84 — old, a typical German woman, with a round ny face and red cheeks. Sae is not very tall, but. still of the normal anato- mic measurement. The eight-ounce baby is an ex- act counterpart of an ordivary child. When born its littie head measured 154 inches from forehead to back, but it gradually swelied out untii it ASSUMED THES SIZE OF A BEN-CENT BALL Hair not less than an inch loug covered the scalp, andastray wisp bung down ,over the ear, which was perfectly tormed. It was almost too small to be measured, Such a chubby iittle face, wita = ling. — eyes, was provably never seen, The mouth jooked ijike a stretched buttonu-hole in a lady's glove, and the nose was the size of a small china doil’s. The rest of the body was round and cuubby, with soft, velvety muscies Taearms and perfect, the little tingers were equipped with nails, and, as tue Doctor put it, tue baby had everytning but teeth. The foot measured turee-quarters of an inch from che tip of the great toe to tue heel. A sheet of ietter paper would have covered it cum- pietely and abedioa an ordinary cigar box would have been almosi too big. It took a long time to convince the neighbors tuat it was areal live baby, avd not a curiosity for a dime museum. The woman came and iooked atthe vit of moving flesa and retired in astonisument It was a long time before Dr. Roth vecaime convinced that it would live. Tue littie legs kicked continuously and the lungs inflated so reguiariy that there was no reason left for doubt. He carefully wrapped it up ina pad of wadding and instructed the nurse to piace 4 hot water bag ac each side. A bottie of sweetened water and bariey juice was prepared and the little one took a perceptibie quantity of nourishmeat, Wwoen the Doctor ieft the uouse both motuer and chiid were duing uicely. The strange Case was re- poried at tue Bureau of Vital Statisiics laie in the evening, and Dr. Nagie and his siaff of physicians visited the iittle one. They picked uer up and ex- amined ner witn open eyes. She was alive and well. During the excitemeut attending tne pres- ence of such an august body of medica: gentiemen the nurse forgot to renew the warm water, and tor over twenty a0urs the baby lay in its wadding. ihe absence of the artificiai warmth produced a cuiil, It grew weaker aod weaker, and at 1l o'clock yes- terday mMoruiug, after uving exactiy thirty nours, the baby died, as Dr. Rib says, through the negli- gence of tue nurse.

The spiritualist trial ended yesterday in the hold- ing of the mediums, Mr. and Mra. Miller, in bonds of $1.000 each for the Grand Jury. The testimony given during the afternoon was not specially inter- esting. Thecase for the defense had closed on Tuesday and the evidence of the first witness in re- buttal, Mr. 8. B.. Mills, was givenin full in yester- day’s Post-Dispatcu. H- had been present at two seances given by the Millers,which were fraudulent. Mr. Mills testified that he wasaclairvoyant me- dium himself, and that he had long been a believer in spiritualism. Dr. Snyder was called, but was not in the court-room, Mrs. Johnson, one of the prosecuting wit- nesses, was put upon the stand again. She testified to baving seen the clothes and properties exhibited on the table in the court-room, taken from the cabinet at the seance on the evening of March 4 Mrs. Miller had guaranteed that forms would appear of . bi and bones. Mrs. Ady wasrecaiied. She attempted to put on the white spirit robe found in the cabinet, in order to illustrate the manner in which it was worn by Mrs. Miler. As Mrs. Ady isa piump and pleasing person, and Mrs. Miller rather syipblike and faeriform, the experiment was not a complete success, here was much more of Mrs. Ady not covered by the spirit form than there was con- cealed—say, seventy-five per cent Mrs. Ady and twenty-five ber cent ghost.

Dr. Hughes, eps, ke! superin- tendent of State Insane Asylum at Fulton, testi- fied, as an expert, that it was impossible, by any of the known laws of nature which justified the hy- pothesis, to construct a corporeal body out of incorporeail substance, In cross-exam- juation Dr. Huyhes stated that he was a believer in the Christian religion, but deciined to state to which form of faith he adhered. He believed that Our Lord had appeared on earth after he was crucified and buried. é Mr. Jones asked: “Is not that contrary to your statement as to the laws of nature?” Judge Noonan ruled the question irrelevant. This testimony closed the case. Both McBride and Messrs. Seward and Jones stated that they were wiliiag to submit the case without argument. Judge, Noonan then said; “From the evidence which has been given I believe that there has been a deception aod a trick, Under the circumstances I will hold the defendants under a bond of $1,000 each, and recommend that the prosecuting wit- nesses carry the case before the Grand Jury, The counter case of the Millers against Johnson and Madden, for assault and battery, was then called up and dismissed, MERCHANT TAILORING FOR BOYS.
