Nzw Yorx, May 8.—The acquittal of Short upon the charge of assaulting Phelan, with intent to kill, was the universal topic of conversation amoug business men yesterday, and indignation at the verdict was generally expressed. Wililam Henry Woods of No. 7 Nassau strect, a member of the Governing Committee of the Cotton Exchange, who was the twelfth juror selected, made the following statement to the Post Dispatoms correspondent concerning the verdict: ‘As a member of the jury 1 feel that a great wrong has been done me by the comment of Judge Van Brunt upon the verdict, and by the editorials in the rs of this morning, reflecting upon the ae on differen situated * the 4 K. any other member When 1 was examined under oath, before going inte the box, I was ced i Thad formed an opinion a to the It or inno- cence of the prisoner. I said that had, and, of course, every one knew that that opinion could only be that he was guy. Iwas asked if I could lay aside that opinion and judge the case upon tue evi- dence and I replied that I could, and thus | was ac- cepted asa juror, very much to my regret. My opmion of the prisoner's guilt was based upon tue eer accounts published at tue time, and whicn the evidence shows were simply one side of the case. The evidence brought out on the trial, and to which I listened with close aud careful ut- tention for two days, did not susiain the charge of assault or attempted assassination, and, no matter how it was worded, the charge in substance was that Short had attempted to assassinate Pbheli.a, who had been lured to Rossa's office for that pur- pose. What the evidence did disclose, and very clearly, too, was that there was simply A FIGHT BETWEEN SHORT AND PHELAN in Rossa s office, and if either was the aggressor, it was Phelan. In this gut both men tried to secure a kuife on the tabie over waich they were figuting, and Snort, haying secured it, did the cutting. Af er they got down stairs, Phelan, who was lying on tue sidewalk, shot hort, who at the time was beld by an officer. There was no discredit thrown ou an of the evidence except Pheian’s. But Smith of Washington, D. C., swore he would not believe him on oath. As to what occurred 1 the jury room, I have nothing to say, except so far ds c u- — myself. Ou the first, last and all of the very few baliots taken, I voted ‘not guy. and under the evidence, under the charge the court, a 4 under the obligations of my Oni, 1 never would have voted any other way. In My-vopinion, under aii the circumstances, the only surprise tue Judo should have had, was tuat the verdict was not re dered in five minutes im piace of over uu pour to make it.” Did you believe that any of the evidence offered was perjured?” “I don’t Know whether it was perjured or not said Mr. Woods. All I know is that that was tiie evidence the jury had to base their verdict upon“ District Attorney Martin said that the prosecu:- ing Officers had never made a greater effort to bring a crimiuai to justice than va- done ia Short s case. “itis a miscarriage of justice,” he said. “We were so sure Of a verdict against the prisoner, that Judge Van Brunt, Mr. Fellows and myseif, all too dinner down town, expecting that the jury wou.d come to a decision ion a few minutes When they first went into the room they stood six for conviction and six tor acquittal, and the result shows that some of them forgot their oathsin their desire to get home to their wives and children.” Mr. Martin said that he was foliowing a ciew which promised to de- velope into something that would show the trug reason for the jury's vertict. “i put Mr. Fellows on the case.)“ he said, “because I thought we neee! his oratory to obiain a verdict, aud any oue who heard his summing up could not help being col vinced of Snort's guilt. Some lawyers say that we did not cross-examine the witnesses for the det em o at sufficient length I looked at it this way—thas there is no use of examining at length witnesses wio will answer to suit their own side of the case, no matter what the question is." COOK’S SUICIDE, The Life History of William H. Cook of Pittsburg. By Telegraph te the Post-Dispatch. Prrrspore, P.. May 8.—A bullet fired by his own hand Wednesday put au end to William H. Cook, a man with a remarkable life history. He was one of che best-known persons in the city. About 3 o'clock in the afternoon he walked intothe piace kept by Mary Walton alias “Philadelphia Mary,” No. 2 Dia- mond square, and ordered whisky. He drank w. til he was drunk, and about (o clock he went into the tollet-room in the rear of the place, and a few minutes later a shot was heard frum there. Magz McGuire, the barmaid, ran to ascertain the cause and found Cook shot through the left temple. a 2 caliber pistol by his side, lying in a pool of blood. Assistance was summoned and the suicide was re- moved to the Central Station, where he died before medical aid arrived. Cook was d years of age. Twelve years ago he was one of Pittsburg's wealth- test and foremost men. He was a civil e igineer of reputation, owned valuable property, and was con- sidered w about $250.00.

Disturbing Political Ciroles. — — — — Russia Declines to Bind Herself Not to Advance on Herat—Fears That the Present Reprieve Will Not Long Defer the Evil Day—Diésmay Caused in India by England's Peace Policy. — Special Cablegram to the Post-Dispatch. Loxpow, May 6&—The rumors of black clouds something wrong. This is expresged in the papers, and especially in private conversation, but I am still unable to obtain confirmation definitely. It was widely reported last night that Dufferin had re signed. This is certainly untrue. On the contrary, the Indian and home authorities have thoroughly agreed on the necessity of a breathing space. The reason Of this ie stated to be that Bagland's posi- tion in India is not 30 strong as wes anticipated. The native press is not tnanimously enthusiastic in England's behalf, and the frontier force is insufficiently mobilized. This explains why men and material are still being dispatched in haste to India. I understand that Gladstone has papers in reserve showing a strong case for peace, The Trans-Caspian Rallway is advancing rapidly. The nails purchased for the line from Askabad to the Wleri-Rud and Herat are en route to Sarakhe. The Government organs here profess to belfeve that Russia will undertake not to seize Herat. Nobody else in Europe believes this. The Russian press distinctly deny this. You will thus understand the general grounds of the Times’ statement this morn- ing, that the impression is gaining throughout Europe that the present reprieve will not long defer the evil day. RUSSIA AND HERAT. Hovuss or Commons, May 6, 5 Pp. w.—I have un- Questionable authority for stating chat Russia has eategoricaliy deciined any treaty binding her not to advance on Herat. THE RUSSIAN ADVANCE. Lotion, May 8 — Rumors are current in Paris of a steady and coatmued Russian advance in Af ghanistan, but it is impossible to trace them to any authentic source. They have probably originated from the news of the Russian oodgupation of Peoj-deh. GERMANY'S ATTITUDE. The official news agenoy in Paris, which is sup- posed to represent the views of the French Cabinet, publisues a London dispatch, dweiling on the fact that throughout the dispute Germany has given no indication of the attitude she iatends to assume re- gatding the coutroversy. The dispatch says the German Ambassador in London still holds as pessimistic views of the situation as when every- thing looked desperate, and that the [English Officials still fear that Germany is unfavorably dis- posed toward England andis not anxious to see pesce. WANT A GARRISON AT HERAT. Tue Times continues to urge the Government to persuade the Ameer to allow the presence of an English garrison at Herat. A REASSURING EFFECT.

The report published in the Morning Post to-day, that Earl Dufferin has resigned his position as Viceroy of India, in consequence of the disastrous effect on British prestige in India of Gladstone's weak and timorous policy, is denounced by Govern- ment officials as utterly untrue. On the contrary,” they say, “Earl Dufferin counsels with and approves of Mr. Gladstone's present action respecting the Russo-Afghan question NORTHCOTE'S NOTICE.

The Corvette Canada. New Yorn, May 8.—At present England has the call on the Russian navy in these waters At 8 o'clock last evening Her Majesty's Corvette Canada, one of the unarmored cruisersof the North Amer- oa and West Indies station, commanded by Capt. Curtis, steamed up and dropped anchor at Sandy Hook. It is uncertain whether she will come up or not. The Canada is a bark-rig ged corvette, measur- ing 1.80 tons. She carries ten guns and has en- gines of 2,480 horse power, capable of sending her the latter or rather to the bank of Osage along at the rate of fourteen and one half knots an River the town.

All her guns are broadside guns and, biess you, it would bea downright shame for her to tackle the Btrelok, just as it would be for the Strelok to tackle a ferry-boat. But there's no war in sight now, more's the pity, and the Canada has only come up here in the regular order of things. She has beea Gown south long enough, and now comes up north for awhile.

The Execution of Muses Caton at Morgan- Caton took place at 1 o'clock, with the usual exer- oises at the scaffold. A special to the Evening Pub- lic from Morganfield, Ky., says: There was a great crowd of people in town to see the of Moses Caton. The hanging was to have been private, but the people of Union County said that if a fence was built around the scaffold they would tear it down, and so it was thought dest to let the people see it. Caton protested his inno- cence of the erima. The crime for which Caton was hung was the murder of a witiow whom he married for a little property. After bringing her home he and his family, including a Mrs. Frits, with whom he had been living, persecuted the wom- anand abused her in every possible way, finally hanging her. Mrs. Fritz is inthe Penitentiary for accomplices. Caton was a lawless man.

The Conservatives are becoming stronger and more vigorous under Churchill's leadership. They will take advantage of the above when the attack on the Ministry is made net week on the budget.

The Government has already been twice defeated on the vote ou the local taxa- tion question.

It is unnecessary to point out the influence of this on foreign affairs. In the House of Lords to-day a quéstion was remaining in the Soudan.

C., May &—A number of at- tempts have been made from time to time to pict- ure among the Senators and members who stil! re- main in Washington a feeling of discontent with the Administration. One of the local papers here describes this evening a meeting of Democratic Senators and members at Willard's Hotel for the purpose of agreeing upon some concert of action, in reading the riotact tothe President upon the subject of patronage. There is not one word of truth in this story. There has been no such meeting. The majority of Democratic Senators and members in town are satisfied with the Administration as 4 whole, and believes that changes are being made as rapidly as they can with due regard to the good of the service. tt there were any real adverse senti- ment to the Administration among the Democrats here, none ot them are fools enoughto think any bulldozing tactics would change the line of policy marked out by the President. The most that is ever heard here in the way of dissatisfaction is oc- casiona! grumbling from statesmen who are remain- ing in Washington to get some oftheir people in places. Where the number the is obliged to stay in Wasbington longer than he cares to. Asa natural consequence he relieves himself by grumbling in private, Nene of these gentlemen, however, have any serious criticism to make. The President is every day making new friends by his firm and consistent policy. Some of the working Democrats are much encouraged over suspension of Postmaste: — at Chicago yesterday. Some of them seem ta argue from this that the Administration is chang- ing its policy in the direction of making more sweeping chan and twat it intended to remove officials without any regard to the length of time of their commissions. The President has not changed: his policy. Removals will not be made, except for cause, before the expiration of a commission. Mr. Palmer, it was shown, had col- lected assessments from his clerks in the Chicago — Office, and had used his office asa partisan he:.dquarters All postmasters of this kind will be suspended just as fast as their cases are reached. Mr. Vilas is now making new appointments in the Post Office Department at the rate of 100a day. If Mr. Hay were bck a much larger num- ber of appointments could be made, No stmaster of good repute, who bas kept is office free from partisan politics, need expect to be disturbed. Changes continue to be made in the Treasury De- partment. Every division of that Department will soon be under the direction of Democrats. Bruce, the Register of the Treasury. resigned to-day He is a man who has a comfortable fortune and there is no reason why he should be kept in his place more than if he were white. It is not improbable that the position will be given to soine Democratic colored man. The place is one of mere routine, and has no greater responsibiities attached to it than the labor of writing a few hundred signatures each day. Judge Holman of Indiana, who has been one of the most uneompromis.ng enemies of jobbery and one of the most earnest advocates of Civil Service Reforin, said to-day that he was well satisfied with this Administration. It was going ahead fast enougu to suit him. He thought the appointing powers could not take too much time in selecting xood men. The appomting of a bad man was in the nature of a public calamity. It by no means followed because a man was labęled a Democrat, that he was desirable for a pubuc position. Judge Holmar. thinks that the President is pleas- ing the great mass of the Dernocratic party and the entire country. He is making more reputation for himself because of his care and conservatism, end his disregard of mere ordinary ciaiins of patronage politicians, He thougnhi that his Admin- istration would, tberefore, be one Of the strongest, avd in its general features would so streng hea the party as to msure its Continuauce in power for a great maby years. Three Missions Filled. Wasaineron, D. C., May 8.—The President to-day appointed the following Ministers: Geo. N. Lathrop of Miehigan, to be Envoy Extra- ordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary of the United States to Russia. Boyd Winchester of Kentucky, to de Minister Resident and Consul-General of the United States to Switzerlaud. John E. W. Thompson of New York to be Minister Resident and Consul-General of the United States to Hayti. THE NEW MINISTER TO HAYT!. Dr. John E. W. Thompson, who was to-day ap- pointed Minister resident and Consul-General of the United Siates to Hayti, was born in Brooklyn, and is at present a resident of New York City. Dr. Thompson is a graduate of the medical department of Yale College, After leaving Yale he pursued his medicai studies in Paris where he became pro- ficientin the French language, which knowiedge willserve him in his new sphere, as the Haytiens area French-speaking people. Dr. Thomsonis a young colored inan, and was highly recommended for the position by the faculty of Yale, as weil as by many leading citizens of his native State. Dr. Thompson is said to have been a life-long Demo- crat. MR. WINCHESTER. Mr. Boyd Winchester was recently appointed United States Consul to Nice. He declined on ac- count ot the smali salary, it being but $1,500 per year. The annual salary of the new position is $5,000. SKETCH OF MINISTER LATHROP. Mr. Lathrop, appointed Minister io Russia, is 60 years of age, and has been prominently identified with the legal profession. His residence is at Detroit. Snortly after Mr. Cleve- land was elected to the Presidency, Mr. Lathrop, with other Michigan gentiemen, called upon him at Buffalo, The President was greatly pleased with Mr. Lathrop and so expressed himseif on his return to Albany. The appointment to Russia was unsolicited. Mr. Lathrop has never held an official position and has declined a nomination to Congress. A son of tue distinguished lawyer was prominently mentioned in connection with the Commissioner- siipot Patents.

BIG BEAR AND POUNDMAKER. — —„ Latest Movements of Government Troops in the Northwest. Sr. Pat, Mn, May 8 —A Battleford dispatch says: Col. Otter has not decided on his plans for a future attack on Poundmaker. It must be renewed, but it cannot be done without reinforcements. The scouts to reconnoitre the Indian position returned to-day and reported them still at Cut Knife Hill, where Saturday's engagement was fought. It is believed their loss must have been heavy, or they would have followed us up. It is not known whether Big Bear has joined Poundmaker. The wounded are all keeping well in comfortable quarters with the best of attendance. It is reported to-night Mat a letter has been received in the camp from a priest on Poundmaker's reserve, stating that the Indian loss on Saturday was 125. Two seven- pounders became disabled through the trucks breaking down during the engagement, and caused the withdrawal. Before that time the enemy was almost completely silenced. The troops retired in perfect order and well covered by a perfect piece of generalship. The fight lastedseven hours. The men had not slept the night before and had had no breakfast. Several fell asleep while lying on the skirmishing line, when the enemy had been silenced for some time. A MELEE ON THE LEVEE. Four Men and One Woman Indulge ina Lively Free Fight. There was a lively scrimmage on the Levee and Market street this afternoon, in which Azile Garlick, his wife Lucy, Abraham Garlick, Mike McDonald and Jonn Daly were the principal figures. But for the timely arrival on the scene of several police of- ficers, the two latter would have been badly worsted. The arrival of the officers was not sufficient. how- ever, to stop the fight, as the Garlicks manifested a desire to include the policemen also in the list of their fallen foes, and i ps only by force of numbers and the free use clubs that they were finally overpowered. The trio were taken to the Chestnut Street Station, and a charge of assault and battery referred by McDonald and Daly against the Gar icks; and & charge of resisting police officers was also lodved against tuem. The cause of the trouble was that Daly and McDonald, two labor- ers, went into the second-hand store kept by the Garlicks and after looking at several articles and asking the price of them went out without purchasing anything. Azile Garlick, who waited on them, was greatly incensed at their re- fusal to make a purchase, and told them in very forcible language wat ne thought of them. Daly and McDonald then got mad also and they soon came to blows. During the melee Lucy Garlick, wife of Aziie, fought like a Trojan, and when the officers arrived she singled out Officer Hickey as ber foe and did not cease to struggle with him till Hickey’s brother officers, having secured the two men, overpowered her. ACRES OF FLAME, A Fierce Conflagration Raging in the Lum- ber District of Chicago, Caicaco, May 8, 1:30 P. M. An extensive fire is reported raging among the lumber yards near the corner of Thirty-seventh and Halsted streets, and is spreading rapidly, threatening to cofisume a num- ber of large pork packing establishments in the _ vicinity. The entire City Fire Department has been called to the scene, RAGING FIERCELY. Union Stock Yarps—The fire is raging fiercely on the north bank of the river, among the lumber yards. There are no great fears of its reaching the Stock Yards, owing to the direction of the wind.

The Conditions Favorable for an Increase Over Last Year. LansixG, Mick. May 8.—Reports received by the Secretary of State show the condition of the wheat crop in the Southern four tiers of counties 102 per cent of the condition of one year ago, compared with the vitality and growth of average years. The condition in the southern counties is 101 per cent and in the northern counties 99 per cent. These figures indicate an aggregate product of nearly 24.373 bushels. With favora le weather until harvest, it is believed the vield will exceed rather than fall below that amount. Of the area seeded, not more than 1 per cent will be plowed up because winter-killed or otherwise injured. Six per cent of the clover is winter-kiiled. The condition of the clover not win er-Killed is 96 per cent. Apples promise 68 per cert of an aver- age crop. Correspondents generally believe the conditions up to May were favorable for a crop bet- ter than for several years. U THE WEST SHORE. Proba e Early Settlement of the Existing Complications. New York, May 8.—The Evening Post in its financial article says: It is not claimed by any- one that the discouraging reports of the business of the Vanderbiit roads east of Chicago have been exaggerated, but there has certainly been no effort to make them look encouraging for the future. The oniy hope of an improvement in the future of these roads. is in the settlement of the West Shore war. The first step toward this would be the West Shore bondho ders and other creditors getting their own quarrels so settled that there would be some definite West Shore organization to deal with. It is reported that this is about to be accomplished, and the West Shore complications will be settled very shortly. If this proves correct, it is not improbabie that the Western raiiroad war, which has been waged without any purpose except to do injury, may suddenly come to a close. GOES TO SING SING. Kleecamp, the Chicago Swindler, Given a Long Term in Prison. New York, May 8.—Adolph A. H. Kleecamp, alias Henry R.

He asked for mercy, saying that his downfall was due to a woman's influence. He was enger to reform and asked the Court to send him to a reformatory. The Court aammistered a severe lecture to Kleecamp and sentenced him to eight years and six months“ incarceration in Sing Sing Prison. GEN. GRANT.

The use of the Bible compared with that of books was in the proportion of three to one. It was found that the most difficulty was in keeping the young men and young women in the Sunday-school, owing to the repelling influence of the common idea that Sunday-scnools are distinct- ly for e ildren.“ The treasurer's report as then submitted by Mr. Learned placed the total receipts at $1, aud the disbursements at 81.763 72, the balance on ing 840 58 A vote of thanks was then unanimously adopted, complimenting the treasurer for his efficiency.

SS FrxnxalL vigilance is the price of the Senatersh_p. | 0 — — — Br THE vagaries of philanthropy are hard to understand, For years the poor sisters at St. Anne’s Asylum have relieved the city of St. Louis of the cost and trouble of taking care of its foundlings, The city regu- larly sent its foundlings to them and regularly abstained from making any reimbursement for the expense it imposed thereby. In all these years no public or private charity came to help them. Once, whenan attempt was made to remit to the good sisters the cost of the water supplied by the city to their asylum, a noble millionaire arose and, at his own expense, suc- ceeded in thwarting it by an injunction. Now, when a tardy sense of justice moves a Delegate to have the city pay for what it gets, the phil- anthropists, who have never paid a cent to help the sisters, never lifted a finger to provide other relief, come lobbying around the City Hall to prevent it. It will be a cause of regret if this dog-in-the-manger policy is insisted on. In the Thirty-Fourth Legislative District of Illinois a special election to fill the vacancy left by the death of Representative SHaw has resulted in the election of WEAVER, Repub- lican, by a majority of 240 over LEER, De m- ocrat. Such an unexpected Republican victory, when it was understood that the election of a United States Senator depended on the result, and in a district that gave CLEVELAND 2,000 majority last fall, is a remarkable event. The Democrats say that only 40 per cent of their vote was polled; that, as they had nominated a strong candidate, While the man named by a Republican committee to run against him seemed to be running without hope and only to keep up the organization, they were completely thrown off their guard by the tactics of the Republicans, who kept away from the polls until late in the evening, and then, by means of a quiet organization previously effected in all the precincts, polled 75 per cent of their born of money. hoped that we have Ee citizens like that fanatic and crank, — 85 — 2 — nigious as to requ spec! ordinances to ect our Citizens treat its biienting and have we elected as our iaw- makers those who eagerly defer o the interests whtle branding such men as “q@——d fanatics and cranke?" De.os R. Haynes. — ee The Bevier Strike, . Bevizr Mo., May 7, 1885. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch: A communication from here, published in your paper of May 5, states that “Major Kochiitzky recommended that work be resumed at 1244 per cent reduction from last winter's prices, or 344 cents per bushel. But the mine owners insist upon a reduction of W percent.” Major Kochtitaxy ad- vised that work be resumed at 1244 per cent reduc- tion from last year’s prices, and the mine owners agreed to it, but miners refused any deduction. Last year’s prices, $1 per ton in winter and 8744 cents per ton in summer; 124% per cent reduction from these prices will be 76% cents per ton in summer and in winter, and tnis the mine owners were willing to to.

After Paying 62 Premiums a Man Learns His Policy is no Good. Mr. William Burke is prepsred to testify that a recognition of an insurance company by the insu- rance department is not an absolute guarantee that the patrons of the company will always get satis- faction. He has brought suit against the Metropol- itan Life Insurance Company of New York to re- cover $164, which he claims to be due him on ac- count of the death of his wife, whom he had in- sured in that corporation. The peculiarity of the case is, that the policy is such an ingenious and elaborate document that hie own counsel declares himself unable to figure out just how much the company owes on the death. The Metropo itan bas some features which much resemble those of the late Provident Pro- asylum farm. Feeling confident that there was an- other side to this story, your correspondent “to make assurance doubly sure, and to present the truth in to this matter, which has been 80 grossly misrepresented thro ut the State, called the 2 of 0 the steward of the institut io superintendent, to the article in plies to which will show that wide of the mark. Dr. Smith afte 8 Grantiey’s statement, said: I am more than as. tonished at such a publication, because there has not been a shadow of a foundation for such a tceal misrepresentation of facts and perversion of the truth. He furt der stated as to the origin of this uufortunate Jersey berd, that about nine years since a friend in Kentucky sent hima fiae Jersey cow and bull calf, that cost him, individually, $125, notacent of this coming from the State funds. Having at that time sixteen or seventeen ordinary thought it a fine opportunity to improve the “herd by crossing with the stock and our 8 and keeping the female calves. accordance with this course we reared from year to year 34 and % Jersey cows from our own herd. After four years, deem ng it beneficial for our stock, I traded the bull ul: m Kentucky for a thoroughbred Jersey b paying a difference of $10 out of my own pocket, which animal unfortunately died in about two months. Being pleased with tae marked improvement in our o..ttle, and to continue it, I pur- chased another fine Jersey calf, for which I. myself, paid $100. The natural increase continued until we had from forty-five to fifty Jersey cows, the fin est milk herd in the State des a number of calves. In 1884 this animal was sold, aud tue bull bought in Illinois, for which the State p id $100, and uvfortunately proved to have pleuro-pneumo- nia, the source dt all tne trouble among cattle in tuis cqunty.” Mr. Atkinson, the steward, said that during the past eight years only $842 40 had been paid out of the asylum funds for he dairy herd, and that durio the sauie period the value of beeves slaughtere tor tue use of the institution, taken from the herd, was $3.044 23, at the contract price during those years, Thus it appears that there is a sum of more than $2,000 to the credit of the cattle fund. Besides this, the yieid of mala from this herd has been large aod valuable. It appears beyoud controversy that the poiicy of the officers and managers of the asy- lum iu purchasing the Jerseys aud improving the herd was a judicious and proutable investment, ad- vantage ous to tue instituiion, and wourd wave con- tinued to be productive of tue best results but for the unavoidable outbreak of the pieuro-pneumonia, wuich no human precaution could have prevented.

Gives St. Louis Its Best Canvas, This morning Mr. Henry B. Pettes received a tel- egram from the American Art Association an- nouncing that the painting by Alexander Hamilton bad been awarded to St. Louis. This picture is en- titled “La Crepuscule“ (twilight), and is conceded by all tobethe best of those to which prizes were awarded at the recent prize exhibition. It will be remembered that there were only four cities enti- tled to pictures out of the exhibition, namely: New York, Boston, Louisville and St. Louis. St. Louis was admitted to the privilege only at the last Moment, owing to the fact that Mr. Pettes was on che spot and had tue pluck to subscribe $2,500 at once towards the prize fund. The painting isa very large one, 10 feet 6 inches by 5 feet. It is val- ued at $5,000. It will be presented by Mr. Pettes to the Museum of Fine Arts. Toe subject is marine, a wide stretch of water with the light fading out in the western horizon, waile the waves break slowly and sullenly ona low beach. It was exhibited in ihe Salon of 1883, where it commanded mucu atten- tion ard praise from the French critics.

The too general purpose of enter- taloments of this character seems to be to exhibit the mere technical skill of the performer, Mr. Robyn's purpose, as seen in his selections, has evi- dently been to give his auditors an hour of musical enjoyment. They include very little that is intri- cate ahd nothing whatever that is dull. Mr. Roben is to have the valuable assistance of Mrs. M. E. Latey and Mr. Frank Gecks.

WHiILz the Missouri Civil Service Reform Association was in session yesterday President CLEVELAND was engaged in giving practical illustrations of reform by removing the par- tisan officials right and left. = THE Democrats of Illinois were caught nap- ping, and the country is shocked to learn of the dreadful prospect that LoGan will return to the Senate to murder the English language and file claims against Indian reservations. Mr. Morrison was in Illinois during the session of Congress when he should have been in Washington, and he was in Washington dur- ing the decisive contest in the Thirty-fourth Legislative District when he should have been in Illinois. — arene oan eon THE new Missouri law is becoming a terror to men who put on the livery of love to de- ceive and betray confiding females. Mr. Jonx WHEELER of Kansas City having put his property out of his hands to escape a judg- ment of $20,000 damages in favor of his reia- tive, Miss Iba WuHrELER, whom he had be- trayed under a promise of marriage, she filed a lien for the amount on the estate of his wealthy father in Cass County and prosecuted him criminally, On being convicted and sentenced to two years in the Penitentiary he offered her $5,000 to marry him and call it square, but she holds out for $10,000, and the outlook is that he will have to compromise on her own terms or go to the Penitentiary and be financially ruined also. Wuewn Mr. KriLxr denounced the occupation of Rome by Victor EMANUEL as an impious outrage and usurpation, he expressed the senti- ments of the Emperor Francis JOSEPH to a T,“ but made himseif a disagreeable person. to the present King of Italy, and so unfitted him- self for the Italian mission. But in his efforts Republicans throughout his entire term. But, in spite of all such explanations, the incident will be generally accepted as a proof of the weakness and unlucky leadership of the Demo- cratic nominee for United States Senator. It so emphatically negatives his chances of suc- cess that he can haraly rally from the effect of the blow or prevent the election of LOGAN. lf the latter cannot now whip in the Repub- lican bolters and get the Republican majority on joint ballot, it will be nonsense to continue the dead-lock any longer and the Legislature cannot adjourn too soon. THE METROPOLITAN PRESS. What the Editers of the New York Journals are Saying To-day. By Telegravh to the Post-Disnatch. New Lonk, May 8.—The Won says: The old British lion is toothless and lazy. It is impossible to arouse him, even by twisting his tail. When next he yawns, shakes his mane, and opens his sleepy eyes be will find the Russians in Herat, and will have to drag his oid bones to the Indus to de- fend his Indian Empire against Russians, Afghans and Turcomans combined. Good-bye, John!“ THE sor. The Sun says: It is high time to call a halt in the rough treatment which a portion of our newspa- pers havé bestowed upon the Hon. Anthony W. Kelley, lately Minister of the United States to the Court of Italy, and now Minister to the Imperial Royal Court of Austro-Hungary, the Court of the Hapsburgs. Several of our contemporaries seem to regard the tment of Mr. Keiley to these two distingu posts, one after the other, as a kind of injury to themselves; and they jeer at him and denounce bim ina manner that is quite unex- pected, to say the eg THE TIMES. The Times says: The breacing of the dead-lock in the Illinois Legislaturd has been effected by a shrewd political trick which is likely to make the Democrats of the State feel sore. The Republicans have captured a safe“ Democratic district in which a vacancy had been caused by death, by making no nomination and lulling their opponents to sleep in their confidence, aad coos coming to the polls by a ——— plan and electiog a candi- date who had never been nominated or publicly an- nounced. By this bold and successful move the po litioal character of the isiature has been de- termined, as well as the election of a United States Senator.“ g THE TRIBUNE. The Tribune says: “Thoughtful Republicans all over the Union will unite in hoping that the Repub- licans in the Iliinois Legislature will not fritter away in personal quarrels the results of the impor tant victory just gained in the election of Mr. Weaver as a successor to the late Democratic Rep- resentative, Mr. Shaw., The fight was splendidly man had consumption at the time the policy wa revived. the company would consent to return only the $6 20 which had been paid in premium. Mr. Burke declares that there never was any revival of the policy. but that it has beey in continuous existence since originaliy taken out, and that the proofs could not suow death from consumption because no proofs were sub- mitted. So a suit has been instituted to recover the amount above mentioned. and "Squire McCaffrey will probably be driven to distraction in an effort to ascertain how much is due on the policy if any- thing at all is due. LEBANON, ILLS. An Attractive and «:rowing suburban City. The peop.e of this neighboring city are rejoicing in the prospect of numerous advantages and im- provements to be consummnted the coming week by the Ohio and Mississippi Railroad. These will bring them into closer: relationship, so to speak with St Louis, and enable them to compete with other suburban resorts for the patronage of those seeking summer homes convenient of access. A large and commodious depot is being built within three squares of the center of the city, and all local trains ili run to it on the tracks already finished. This arrangement goes into effect next Monday, May 11. Trains will be run witha view of accom- modating the usiness whose presence is required daiiy in the city, trains reaching the city at 7:30 and 8a.m. A noon train out at 11:05a. m. to Lebanon and returning to the city at 1:88 p. m. At night trains leave at 5:15 and 7 o'clock. Oou: mutation tickets will be issued at greatly re- duced rates. Lebanon is the seat of McKendree College, weil known as .the leading institution of learning of the Methodist Church. There is also a fine graded Pub:ic School that would be an ornament to any city, and with numerous churches indicates the intelligence aud refinement of its citizens. In addition to its facilities a move- ment is on foot looking to the erection of a first- clase hotel, with suitable grounds to make it an in- viting home to those who wish to spend the sum- mer away from the dust and heat of the city, and yet not be an hours ride distant. A building asso- ciation is aiready organized. The public spirited policy adopted by Mayor Webb and the City Coun- cil cannot fail to make this the most attractive sub- urban town accessibie to St. Louis citizens. THE NEW CITY HALL. A Movement on Foot to Replace the Union Market With a $2,000,000 Building. A bill will shortly be introduced in the Counci which will provide for the erection of a $2,000,000 City Hall in the place now occupied by the Union Market.

Kurch is charged with being the accom. plice of William Miller, who was arrested the Sarly part of this week at Cahokia for sending ob- scene cards through the mail to the young ladies of Shelbina.

MAD ABOUT MUTRIE The League and American Associa- tion Preparing to Lock Horns. _— n The Former Body Will Stand by “Truthful James“ to the Bitter End —St. Louis Plays All Around Phila- ~ .delphia—Racing Matters—Diamond Chips and Sporting Gossip. By Telegrawvh to the Post-Dispatoh. New York, May 8,—That a base-ball war can now only be averted by the American Association re- voking the penalty of expulsion recently imposed } on Mr. James Mutrieis admitted, According to the first article of the National Agreement, a player or manager expelled from one association, a party to the National Agreement, cannot be employed by a party to the agree- ment. As Mr. Mutrie is now manager of the New York League Club, and that organization refuses to release him, as it should, does it not intentionally violate the agree- ment? The otner League clubs stand by the New York management, and thus the League tacitly declares war. In doing so the League is governed by circumstances that make its case so strong that the American Association must either acknowledge that it blundered unmistakably at Pittsburg or withdraw from the protection of the National Agreement and become the outcast that the Union Association was last year. With a lone hand the Association would not be as sjrong as the Union Association proved to be. It lacks such a leader as Mr. Lucas. The falsity of the position taken by the American Association is easiiy recognized when it is consid- ered that at the time it expelled“ Mutrie the latter was not connected with it iu any way. Months be- fore he left the Metropolitans and became manager of the New York League team. His possition as manager of the Metropolitans of the American Associa‘ion was taken by Mr. Gifford. The latter was at Pittsburg and was recognized as the man- ager of the Metropolitans. If the manager of that club was to be penalized for any offense, Gifford. not Mutrie, was the man tobe expelied. It is inexplicable how the American Association could recognize one man as the manager of a cluband expel another man for an action which the manager of the club was charged with. THE FINING OF THE “METS” $500 was another unjust action. But the associa- tion was forced to inflict that fine as a loophole to escape the penalty of expelling the Mets, as it pro- posed todo. There are evidences of cut and dried- ness about the proceedings that place the Ameri- can Associationina very poor light. Four of the best- players in the Metropolitan Club were approached by a manager of an Association club several days before the meeting at Pittsburg, and told that the Mets“ were likeiy to suffer ex- pulsion, and requested to name the terms on which they would make a new engagement, Tey re- fusedtodoso. The management of the Meiropol- itan Club have the statement of the players who were approached, and will use them in prosecuting before the Association the manager who violated the rule forviddiug a club's or manager's contract- ing or negotiating with a reserve piayer. Thus far the League has the American Association very short wy the hair. lt is in order for the Association to do as it has done on former occasions. acknowledge its error.

Yesterday was an exceedingly cold day for the Athletics, both as regards the weather and as the term is used in base-ball vernacular. Though no runs were scored iu the first two innings, Cushman was pounded unmefrcifully by the home team from the start, nor did they let up until twenty base-hits with a total of twenty-five had been secured. Car- ruthers, on the other hand, was too much for the visitors, and in nine innings they could “get on“ to him for but four scattering hits. The game proved Vv tedious after the second inning, as it was too noticeably one-sided. The final score was 18 to 1 in the Browns’ favor. The same clubs play this after- noon. Games Elsewhere.

In the Danish “kitchen middens,” or heaps of household refuse, piled up by the men of the Newer Stone period—a time when our Scandinavian fore- fathers used chipped or polished flints instead of metal for their weapons—are found bone-cuttings gelonging to some species of the genus Canis. Along with these remains are some of the long bones of birds, ali the other bones of the said birds being ab- sent. Now itis known that the brd bones here found are the very ones which dogs can not devour, while the absent ones are such as they can bolt with ease, and it has been ingeniously argued from this that the remains in question did — beiong to a domestic dog. as, if the animals to which they appertained hed been wo.ves, they would have made short work of the long bones as well as ot the others. Other dog bones are found in Denmark in later periods, At the time wheu the flint knives were succeeded by bronze a large dog existed, and at the time when iron was used one larger still. In Switzeriand, during the Newer Stone period, a dog existed which is probably the oldest of which we have any record. It “partook of the charac- ter of our hounds and settiers or spaniels, and, in the matter of its skull, was about equaily remote from the wolf and jackal.“ The 944 too, like its Danis! contemporary, was succeeded in the Bronze period by a larger variety. Thus we see thatat a time when our ancestors were living in dens and equal to that of the African or Australian aborigi- nies of the present day, the dog was already sys- tematicaliy kept and “selected,” that is, any good varieties which appeared were taken note of and kept up.—[Cassel’s Natural History.

If reports from Australia be true, Commotion, a bay horse foaled in 1879, ran as great a race as ever was fun when he won the champion stakes, three miles. He carried 131 pounds and won by ten lengths in a canter in 5:2644. That is almost too good to be true. The late Dan Mace madea great deal of money in his life, but spent and gave away the major por- tion of it. Yet he died in moderately good circum- stances.

Mrs. Fenton is toe legal guardian of Beu Mace, An Offer of $7,500 has been made for the bay horse Westmont, provided he trots a heat this season in 2:20. Before the horse lost an eye last year he showed a trial in 2:18, and Cincinnati parties offered $10,000 for him. The only thing that prevented a sale was that the intendi chaser insisted upon the safe delivery of the horse in Cincinnati, whieh the ownerrefused to guarantee. It is believed that Westmont has fully recovered from the effects of his accident, and will trot this year faster than ever.— [Exchange.

Trade Languishing on Account of Cold Weather. Very Few Transactions Accomplished —Renting Lively and Improving—A Fair Demand for Money—Chat of the Exchange. The week bas been a decidedly dull one with the real estate acents, the snowfall of yesterday prov- ing a fitting climax to a succession of tame and un- eventful days. Some few of them are beginning to feel absolutely dejected over the possibility of the spring's going by without anything approaching a repetition of the business activity existing at this time a year ago, and to fear that all their hopes will fai! of fulfillment. A large majority, however, take a more sanguine and more sensible view of the situation, and remember that the season for real estate transactions is no more a matter to he regulated by the almanac than are the growing of the grass and the buddin of the trees. With nature—a worthy dame with whose doings the real estate business is closely identified—a month at least behind hand in her spring operations, it is not to be wondered at that the buying and selling of land has also expertenced a set-back. It is with residence lots as with all ot h- er salable commodities, they sell best when present- ing their most attractive appesrance, and consid- ering that up to within a very few days back the earth was bare of the verdure which makes a nice little suburban corner lot look so temprtin -, it is not to be wondered at that the spriug boom has not yet put in an appearance. A cali at the Real Estate Exchange was rewarded with a few joking remarks from the genial Mark Priest, who was found with broom and shovel in hand, removing St. Louis real e:tate and building materia! from the floors of the Exchange. Said Mark: Rain weather has had a somewhat depressing influence on rea'ty, especially so upon the renting feature of it. During the fore part of the week the almost continual heavenly baths had the effect of keeping indoors the ladies who were ANXIOUS TO SALLY FORTH in — 2 of houses. The recent building of a street railway on Laciede avenue has given an impetus to inquiry after pro on that avenue, especially for pronerty way out. Active inquiries have been made by small storekeepers after twenty-five foot property on which to erect stores. In fact, this demand extends along Grand avenue from Baden—well, not to Dixie, but to Ca- rondelet. ‘Me wantee washes house. Havee giootee one?’ said an almond-eyed celestial to me yesterday. I loosed up several for John, who departed chat*eriog out his satisfaction in a babel of sounds For the ater convenience of agents Mr. Priest has issued a neat placard show- ing the telephone numbers of the various members of the Exchange and of the newspaper editorial rooms. A visit to Farrar & Co. was luctive of the fol- lowing statement of sales: A lot onthe south side of Belle avenue, east of Newstead avenue, was sold by James C. Duke to Mrs. Mary Geiwin. The lot is rifty feet front by 135 feet deep at $20 per foot. Gustav Hagemeter purchased of Sallie C. Farrar a lot 380x120 feet, situated on ‘Pwentieth street, be- tween Branch an! Palmstreets. The price paid was $18 per foot. The two-story brick dwelling numbered 316 8. Tweutr-third street was solid for $4.490 to Frank Wendell. The property has a front of 32 feet with a depth of 100 feet, and was sold by Dr. Edward Powers.

M. CORVETTE CANADA. Another British War Ship Arrives in the New York Harbor. By Telegraph to the Post-Dispatch. New York, May 8.—New Yorkers will learn, not without surprise, this morning, that another British war ship has arrived here. H. M. Corvette Can- ada, of the North American and West Indies squad- ron, was sighted at 6 o'clock last evening, and anchored off Sandy Hook. A lieutenant was imme- diately sent up to the city on the pilot boat Loubat No. 16, with mails and dispatches for the British Consul, and also to consult with Captain Hand of the Garnet. The lieutenant went back ata late hour. The Canada isa comparatively new ship, having been launched from the Government dock yards since 1880, and is slightly larger than the Garnet. Shecarries fourteen guns, consisting of two 7-inch and twelve 64-pounders. and her speed is about fourteen knots an hour. Her officers are: Captain, Arthur C. Curtis; first lieutenant. Michaei P. O’Vallaghan: chaplain, the Rev. John H. perry staff surgeon, Henry Cox; paymaster, George A. F. C. Sceales. The crew number about the same as the Garnet's. The Canada is one of the nine steel and iron corvettes recently put in commission, BUILT MOSTLY OF STEEL sheathed with wood, and fitted with single screw propellers arranged for lifting. Her principal dimensions are: Length, 225 feet; breadth, 44 feet 6 inches; depth of hold. 21 feet 6 inches; draught forward, 17 feet; draught aft, 18 feet 6 inches; displacement, 2,384 tons; coal supply, 860 tons. Her hull is built of steel, with the exception of the beams and frames, which are of iron; the decks and minor fittings, which are of wood, and the prow, stern, stern-post and after part of the Keel, which are of composition. Five water-tight bulk- heads extend from the keel to the upp er deck, and cofferdams of iron, two feet apart, are rebuilt round to the ends, and boilers, and magazines, with the view of keeping out shot whi may pass through the vesse.. There is also a steel deck, 1 inches in thickness over the ehgines, boilers an magazines at about three feet above the load water line. Ihe exterior of the hull fs cased with two thicknesses of teakwood, three inches and two inches respectively, making a total wood covering of five inches, which is coppered, Canada’s engines are composite, and of 2,300 horse-power. Of the two 7-inch guns, one is placed in thé bows, and the other at the stern, wile the twelve sixty-four-pounders are on the broadside. She hasaram-bow, and carries Whitehead torpedoes. ‘Lhe watch on board the Garnet was on the look- out all da — for dynamite and torpedoes. In spite of the assuran of Capt. Boyton they could not be brought tolook at éxploit in the light ofa joke. They persisted in thinking that it was a joke the humor of Which was not apparent. Consul-General booker gaid thdt there was no in- tention to prosecute. The officers of the Strelok laughed quietly at the scare of which their rivals had been the victims, Although they reliabed the joke, however, they seemed to think that it was in rather questionable taste One of them even de- pounced it roundly asa mauvaise plaisanteric, and seemed to think that the offender should be made to suffer some penalty for this unhospitable act to- ward a visiting man- of-war.

Cleary, pastor at Milwood State for over twenty years; Ernest A. Shindei, pastor of St. Boniface Church, Carondelet: Nicho Staud- inger, founder ot that parish in this city, and Peter Fisher, long vicar-general of Chicago. All will cele- brate their anniversary this month. Probably the only thing of its kind has now its existence in Missouri. Itis a skating rink in asemi- nary ʒnot only aseminary but a female seminary; not only a female seminary, but a Presbyterian female seminary. ‘The reverend president, who not only winks at the pleasure but has openly estabiisned it, is Rev. Charles Irwin, D. D., who is in charge of the feinale educational institutional at Lindenwood. It is further stated that he gives the young ladies instruction every day. To see a staid Presbyterian minister usurping the lawful prerogatives of the dandy rink teacher must be an innovation caicu- lated to excite at once the risibles and regret of the pupiis. The St. Louls Auxiliary of the Woman's National Indian Association are beginning to awake froma condition that was not in narmony with the activity of several other women's societies, notably the temperance and foreign mission societies. The president, Mrs. A. G. Peterson, reports that the work 18 progressing satisfactorily, and that the pastors of the churches have promised to help the cause a by devoting some evening to its con- sideration. Mrs. S. A. Quinion, Genueral- Secretary of the National Society expects to come to St. Louis tuis month, and if sue does, a mass meeting to be addressed by prominent preachers will be arrauged to give the needed stuumuivous to the work. The Central Christian Advocate, Methodist organ, says it has no syinpatouy witu ministers or evauge- lists who are engaged in proselyting members of other churches, and uses tne words: They are always talking about union and Christian fellow- ship, but mean by it the opportunity of creeping into some foid and stealing away a part of the lock.“ This has much the same rilg that was possessed by the denunciation of the Church Con- gress by Rev. Leander Hallock, Methodist mission- ary. Kvidently tue editor of the Advocate. relying on the numerical superiority of the Methodists, 18 much im the pos:tiou of the boy with the biggest piece of pie, who said he was satisfied and didn't want to run the risk of another di vision, The official report of the past vear's work in the Presbyterian Churches in tue St. Louis Presbytery, has just been issued by the secretary, T. C. Bar- rett, which Says that facts seem unquestionabie that Zion languishes. Something m ust be done to gave us from decay. Only eigut of our churches are self-sustalumg. No new organizations have been formed. No minutes have been received, none licensed, and we have no candidates. It concludes its doleful picture by saying: There is a manifest lack of interestin the meetings. An indecent haste marks all our sessions. This taken in connection with the alleged statement that Presbyterianism is fast dying out in Brooklyn, is one that is calculated to set serious caivinists to thinking. The annual convention of ty T. M. C. A, which meets in Atianta, Ga., next week, will be at- tended by Messrs. George T. Coxbead, T. S. Me- Pheeters and Frank L. Johnston, ex-president of the city association. The principal object of their going is to secure a permanent secretary for St. Louis. ‘This is no easy task. Mr. McPheetets, whose experience inthe X. M.C. A. is very wide, says that men qualified for the secretaryship of associations are very hard to get. ‘The associa- tions are growing faster tuan the men. It is easier to obtain a good preacher for a church than to get a pushing man consecrated to the work to take Lold of an association’s work. Theology in such men is discounted for earnestness and hard, sound sense. This fact ought again to impress those who have the destiny of the Y. M. C. A. in their hands with the necessity of taking advantages possessed by Mr. Samuel Buchanan, at present secretary of, the railway branch in this city. True, Mr. Buchan- an emphatically declines the mention of his name in that connection, and is unabie to see how he can leave the department in which he now is, and which, at this time, presents everything ne could wish or hope for in the way of congenial surroundings and broadening possibilities. But, at the same time, if selected, undoubtedly Mr. Buchanan would rec- oguize the importance of the call zaud yield to it. One thing in his favor is that he has never yet raised a finger to gain it. on the coutrary, depre- cating, in no slight degree, the connection of his name with it, and, consequently, if the position comes to him, it will be an unsoucited honor. As predicted by the Post-Dispartog, it is a funny Monday that doesn't see the Presbyterian pastors ‘taking a good whack at Sunday amusements. Now that the ball has been started rolling out on the ball fieids, the Presbyterians insist upon keeping it but in another way. The existence of the — without Sunday games ought to be a good argument, and, as Mr. Hoiiifield said, not desiring to stop all base ball, why don’t the preachers Pa- trouize the games, and thus elevate it and give its restrained and, as they might say, more sinless, conduct the stamp of approval. No wise pastor, if he shonld get a season's — should overlook this point. Last Monday the Presbyterian ministers adopted a paper denouncing Sunday des- ecration, and the pastors of all churches in the city are asked to appoint a committee of two from each ch to arrauge for the publication and free dis- tribution of tracts, etc., treating of the conse- quences | ying laws of God. It also n all pastors and committees to meet in the Y. M. O. A. parlors Monday evening, the 18th, to discuss appropriate measures for carrying out the object proposed. It may be remarked that the Evangelical Alliauce ig divided on the question of Sunday desecration. It unquestionably went so far in passing the paper two weeks ago condemning Sunday aubjecte, that it trod rather painfully upon the toes of several well-known pastors who, within the past Month or 80, have ing on Bun- day ulguts divorce, marriage, skating-rinks, ball- rooms and theaters. In more than oue pastor, who traveled last year has been telling of his tra bels on Sunday evenings, aud Dr. Hollifie.d, who is at the head of the Law and Order League move- ment, says that discussions on even pious peregri- nations are out of in a pulpit Sundays. it thing to iuspiringly speak of Jerusa em, to the Bible places, or make j can Christianity aud „it becomes plain at once just * e ö whi gh not very kor eit uttered, a sentence eta 2 1don't think ö person to me what Au bart had a rather chilling 4 > ” 882 1 * AY ; Absolutely Pure.

Mr. Blackwell is young. talented and a fluent speaker, and it is likely that he will do some more speaking out in meeting before the subject is disposed of. The paper above ref to denounced bicycle riding on Sunday, and yet Rev. Dr. John Fulton, whose Christian charity and worth and great ecciesiastical ability has been more than ever recoguized be Evangelical posters the past two months, says he can't see anything wrong in riding a wheel on Sun- day. it may. perchance, have been noticed that the inspiration, or at least the most energetic en- couragement, of the anti-desecration movement has come from the Presbyterians, aud hence the action they propose taking may seem a little too strict for some of the others, but, no matter why, the fact stands that the Evangelical Alliance in its projected — will not only voice Protestant opin- ion ou the subject, but will also not haye the unan- imous support of its own members.

A OLEVER SCAMP. Henry R. Lawrence, Alias Kleecamp, of Chicago, Comes to Grief. New York, May 4.—The simple entry on the re- turns from the detective bureau at police head- quarters yesterday, “Henry R. Lawr ence, 27 years: German, speculator, arrested for larceny,” repre- sents the temporary winding up of a career that bas few parallels in the aunals of crime. Lawrence was brought to this city yesterday morning by Detect ive McCluskey, having been arrested two weeks ago in Chicago, at the instigation of Thomas Quin- lan, an Englishman, who says that he and his brother arrived in this city last Septe mber, having made the acquaintance of Lawrence on board the steamer. Upon their arrival he steered them to the Hotel Devonshire, where Thomas Quinlan de posited his funds, amounting to $950, in the safe, and took a receipt for them. Lawrence took the brothers around, and out of town as far as Pough- keepsie, managing to leave the impression upon them that he wasa person of distinguished connection. On the second day after their arrival Thomas had a business appointment with his uncle! Before sun- rise that morning Lawrence aroused Quinian in tue hotel, after having first possessed himself of the re- ceipt for Quinian’s deposit in the hotel safe and made him go with him to Central Park to enjoy the morning air. It was nearly 10 o'clock before Quin- lan remembered his engagement and hurried off to his unc.e’s house. When Lawrence had seen him safely on the way, he went back to the hotel, * sented the receipt, drew the money and took a steamer back to Europe the same day. On the wav over he added to his money by playing on an unsuspecting fellow traveler a similar trick, and then leisurely made a tour of the-continent, retura- ing to America a month or wwo ago. Inspector Byrnes bad, meanwhile, sent CIRCULARS DESCRIBING THE SWINDLER to all the large cities in the union, asking for his arrest. It was developed that Lawrence's real name is Adolph A. H. Kieecamp and that he was originally a Chicagoan. He married a Miss Taylor of Rochelle, III., and soon after committed bigamy in Los Angeles, Cal, by marrying Nellie Richards, the daughter of a wealthy resident of that place. By 2 and swindling he possessed himseif of over $20, in the California tour and ran away to San Francisco. In San Francisco he posed asa member of a firm of jewelers in Los Angeles, and added $6,000 to his ill-gotten gains. Having sought out his deluded second wife on the pretense of explaining all, but really to rob her of ail she had, he fled, leaving her destitute, and this time went as far as Chicago, where he boarded in good style at one hotel after another, swindling them all. Whes that locality became too bot for him he journeyed to New York and found em- pioyment with Horace B. Winston, a publisher at ¥34 Broadway. At the end of four months he col lected $700 due his employer and left suddenly. As a canvasser he had been known as Harry Sheldon. ln a single night he became Lord Pembroke and as such took passage for Europe on the steamer Belgenland. Among his fellow passengers there was a young St. Louisan, the son of a banker in the Western city, to whom the “Lord” attached himseif, with the result that when the two reached Paris Lord Pembroke” had the young man's draft for $5,000 in his pocket. He lost no time in cashing it at his bankers. Tosparethe young man the re- moise of confessing to his father that he bad been robbed, Kleecamp considerately cabled the fact himself to St. Louis, and added that he was in need of more money. When it came in shape of another draft, he cashed that also and left the town, leav- ing father and son to come to an understanding by cabie, it was on his return from this European trip that HIS EVIL FATE led him back to Chicago, where Thomas Quinlan met bim on the street and caused his arrest. Requisition papers were sent on from New York, but the prisoner made a stubborn fight. There are humerous warrants for bis arrest besides those already mentioned. He is wanted in Indianapolis and m Kansas City for swindling. the former city he was arrested in an attempt to cash a forged check, but escaped from his captors. When caught in Chicago he was ou the point of star for hew Orleaus. Lawrence, alias Kleecamp, is a handsome sweil in appearauce, with a long, slixy blonde mus. tache. he is 6 feet tall, siender and very weil dressed. He speaks five languages fluently.
