Others were blue-jackets, or sailors. gathered from the vessels of the squadron GW either side of the Isthmus, among the latter Being eighty sailors from the Iroquois, a new crew having been made up from among the seamen sent down to assist the marines. Lieut. Wallace, acting as Spokesman for a number of bis brother officers gathered about him in the reception room of the officers’ quarters, said of the trip: “It was in some respects noteworthy. While we did nothing im the wap of fighting, I think that our presence in force on the Isthmus had a great moral effect in checking the outrages which would otherwise bave been committed. Aiter the week at Aspinwall we crossed the Isth- mus and reached Panama, just in time to nip the Febeliion there in the bud., at least so far as it was likely to lead to the desiruction of the city and the American property there. Capt. MCalia,cwuo was in command of the land forces, and took possession of the city and over twelve hundred men, marines and blue-jackets altogether, 0 MADE A VERY IMPOSING SHOW. The people down tuere nad been accustomed to see United States sailors come ashore now and then to put things in order, but such a landing as this came in the way of an occupation. There was no small feeling againat us, but tne better classes under- stood that we were there under treaty obligations; in fact, that it was our duty to be there. The Freuch, particulariy, were most vehement in their denunciations, pretending to believe that we had come down to take on of the canal, and the French cousular agent acted like an idiot in his de- nunciations of our visit. About that canal we had abundant chance of seeing just how things were going on. The impression is that if it is ever built, it must come American control, and many of us think it must be built by Americans. At present it is a gigantic swindle on those who are furnishing the money, The agents there wi. pay $15 for a day’s work which could be done for $5, and then levy the 810 as a us.

It would be the most natural thing in the worid for those peo- le to drop the stuff onus from the overhanging ouses as we were fighting in the streets. A few days beforeour departure there was a double hauging of a man named George Davis, or Cocobells for short, and of a Haytien named Porta - zelli. The former was a cut-turoat, tne latter had assisted in starting the fire of Aspinwail.

Ex-City Treasurer Wright of Springfield, III., a Defaulter.. SPRINGFIELD, ILL, May 18.—Considerable excite- ment has been occasioned here by the circulation of a report that City Treasurer Preston Wright was a defaulter. Wright has held the office of City Treasurer for the past five years continually. At the last election he was not a candidate, and George Gaston, the Democratic ‘candidate, was elected. It was claimed that Gaston was ineligi- ble, as he had not livedin the city a year. and Wright refused to turn over the books and funds. The Council decided Gaston eligible, and ordered Wright to turn over the office and appurtenances. Five different days were designated by Wright for the transfer, but he always failed to materialize, and this delay gave rise to the suspicion that he was short. Ou investiga:ion by the Comptroller bis bank account was found to be about $3,600 short. His bondsmen, ex-Governor Palmer, Gen. J. C. McClernand and Gen. G. C. Lamb, were notifi and Wright was notified to meet them yesterday. This he agreed to do, but he has not been seen by them or their attorneys, who. were hunting for him all afternoon. Wright, who has always been popular, was a war Democrat and was appointed to the Sprinfield Post Office by President Lincoln. It was aileged that when he left that office he was a defaulter to the amount of about $6,000. THE IRISH BISHOPS. A Close Struggle for the Archbishop- ric of Dublin. - Who Will be McCabe’s Successor— What the Agents of the English Gov- ernment Are Doing to Influence the Holy Father—Dr. Walsh's Candi- dacy. By Telegraph to the Post-Dispateh. New Yor, May 18.—The following special cor- respondence is published in one of the morning papers: Rome, April 30.—Up to this day no official meet- ing of the Irish Bishops bas been heid at the prop- aganda. On Sunday a minor programme was dis tributed among them, referring to religious and disciplinary matters, and having nothing to do with the situation in Ireland. Two bishops have been invited to meet His Holiness, who has probably sought information from them concerning the Iris i question. The first invitation was given to the venerable Bishop of .Down and Connor, who has under his jurisdiction the men of ast, and who is amiliar with the most riotous faction of Ireland. Butif the surface is all quiet the under currents are agitated and running very strong. The English Catbolic party, represented by Mr. Errington, is unusually active. Nothing is ‘left undone to serve the cause of the English Gov- ernment and to get the ear of the Pope. The See ee in the panera) winere at the Unnope of some words e pas rs e Archbishop Croke has said things are ten that could not be pr bishop. They are trying to prevent the elec:ion of Dr. Walsh, whom they represent as a man who has given offense to the Queen by not answering her telegrams. Thefactsare that the Queen never sent Dr. Walsh a telegram after Cardina! McCabe's death. Lord Spencer wrote a letter of sympathy to Dr. Donnelly, and Dr. Donnelly went m person to thank him for his letter. Lord Spencer then told him that he nad the Queen's commands, conveyed by telegram, to express her sympathy. Elected Vicar of the Dublin diocese, Dr. Walsh, with the Chapter’s sanction, again sent Dr. Donnelly to Lord Spencer in the name of the clergy of Dublin, to express their thanks to the Queen for her kind message. Another aim of thé English Catholics is to make people here believe that if home rule is granted,sixty- three Irish members will be withdrawn from Parlia- ment and Catholic opposition then will be crushed ty the Protestants. To this the Irish Catuolics re- ply that the English Catholics MUST TAKE CARE OF THEMSELVES just as the Irish Catholics do when the English Vatholic party fail to sustain them on Irish and agrarian questions. Bishops Logue and Woodlock saw the Pope on the Beh. and Archbishop Croke saw him yesterday with Bisbop Lynch. The visit of Croke to the Holy Father was anxiously awaited. His Grace went to see Leo XIII. with great confidence. Observers in the ante-chamber could not detect the slightest apprehension in him. When he returned from his audience there was a smile of satisfaction on his face. Leo XIII.. of course, net re- ated his conversation with the great patriot prel- ate, and the Archbishop will certainly never tell what be had to say to the Pope. The Pope, how- ever, has recovered from the fear inspired five years ago when a tbunder of voices protested in the Vatican against the fiery articles publisned in the Aurora in behalf of the Land League. The steps of Mr. Errington NO LONGER SOUND IN THE VATICAN. It is also weli-known that Leo XIII has formed his own opinion about Ireland and the Irish, and that he will not be easily misled by the agents of the English Goyernment. To-day Bishops McEvilly and Brown are to have an audience. 8 A CLOSE CALL, ‘An Italian Woman Attempts to Marder a Rascally Countryman. Cuicaeo, May 18.—Frank Rotunno, an Italian, was sitting in his room in the rear of 60 East Fourth street, yesterday, reading a book. A woman en- tered the door behind him. She paused a moment, and then leaped forward on his back. A gleaming stiletto in her hand descended and cut Botunno in the back of the neck, The woman escaped as stealthily as she had come. Rotunno was removed to St. Luke's Hospital. The cut was so slight that he soon returned to bis home.

The Candidates for the New Hamp- shire Senatorship. — — — Blair, Rollins and Chandler in the Field—The Present Incumbent Al- most Certain Wooden-Headed Statesman — The Calibre of the Other Aspirants. Special Correspondence of the Post-Dispatch. Wasuiveton, May 15.—The senatorial election in June in New Hampshire is pretty well discounted. Correspondents from that State to various politi- cians here say that Blair will probably be re-elected. There are only three leading candidates—Blair, Ex- Senator Rollins and Wm. E. Chandler. There is not one of them fit to represent any State in the Senate. Of the three, probably Blair is the most harmless. He is the living proof of what can be accomplished in this world by a- wooden-headed humbug devotion to alleged temperance ideas and a fanatical standard of ich possible virtue. There are few of the Senators who believe that Blair is sane. None of them are disposed to hold him particularly responsible for anything that he does. He is tail, square-shouidered and large-boned. He has a long. solemn face. His complexion is like putty. his hair is a thick, reddish brown, combed up ina sort of horse lock from his high, narrow forehead. The face is lengthened still further in its appear- ance by bis long, ragged beard. He dresses care- lessly, and affects an air of wrapt contemplation. He can not talk upon trivial subjects of the day. His mind is always grappling with the great sub- jects of statesmanship. He always sits in the Sen- ate absorbed in some mess of documents or papers in front of him. He is always working in this dull, crank fashion upon the dullest of crank topics. Within the last two or three years Blair has devoted himself to the subject of Temperance legislation, woman — labor reform and the like. He is always coming forward with pro ositions to estabiish impossible and impracticable bureaus for the dissemination of moral ideas and for the raising of the tone of soclety by mule power. Some of his bills are perfect miracies of absurdity in the way of construction and bad English. It was he who introduced a bill only a year or two ago to compel special instruction to be given to the children of our public schools in mor- ality and high ideas according to the standard of some high salaried bureau of fellow cranks. It was he who got up that wonderful investigation of the labor question. The reports of this perambulating committee now adorn the junk shops of the coun- try. Let no one ever discovered what this com- mittee accompiished besides the taking of testi- mony, aithouzh one migat have thought when the resolution first went through the Senate, from the tone of Biair’s remarks, that the wages of all kinds of laboring men wouid be doubled within the next Six months. One of the officiais of this wanderin committee said that the best thing that occurre in their travels was Biair’s examination of Jay Gould in New York. He said that Gould appeared to be in a very waggish humor that morning, and affected a great embarrassment in the presence of this t man. He was timid and hesitating. He d that it was one of the sights of this century to see the New Hampshire states- man grandiy encourage and sustain the timid and — Wall street speculator. Blair is too wooden a man to appreciate any satire of this kind. He thinks himself so solemnly in earnest that he sometime convinces others that he is souebody. In certain hypocritical regions of New England. a professionally good man always ranks higher tan the man who has not very much to say for himself, In a country where they have temperance on the high road and rum drinking behind the door, the citizen who talks the loudest about temperance, morality and the like, rankstne highest. Mr. Blair has been roaring in the ears of New Hampshire people forso many years the beautiful precepts of compulsory temperance, morality through legisla- tion, and_good manners by force, that he has come to be refarded as the leader. Tne reformers of New Hampshire who do their drinking behind the door are warmly for Blair and use devotion to bim as the proof of their own goodness. In other words, this solemn wooden-headed man has me a fetich in New Hampshire temperance and reform circles, For many —— the State has had no one ia Congress of any ability or special standing. Fer- haps it is as well that they should be represented by Blair as any oue else. 2 * Rollins, who is one of his principal competitors, bas served one term in the Senate. He isa small, | round-shouldered man, not over five feet six inches in height. He has a small, squirrel face. He looks Une a cunning little man. H forehead is bulging, small and conical-shaped. His nose is a small hook. His eyes are black and sharp as a ferret’s, and deeply set under very thick eyebrows, Over tes eyes he wears almost constantly a pair of buge biack-rimmed round eyeglasses. The lower part of his cunning face is coveréd with a coarse mustacbe and beard, which is black and white in tches. Rollins thinks more of money than even Joun B. Alley. Some of the stories told about his economy about the Senate are amusing. One day he started off a page up town on a personal errand in the face of a driving storm. The boy was small and sickly. He asked the Senator to give him a car ticket. Boy,“ said the Senator, “how much pay do you get?” The lad toid nim, “Then,” said the Senator, “you surely get enough to pay your own car fare.“ Thecierk of the committe where this conversation took place got up immediately and handed two tickets to the boy. The New Hampshire idea of goodness immediately came to the surface. Mr. Rvilins smiled blandiy upon the clerk and said: That was very good and thought- ful of you.” 2 „ Wm. E. Chandler is not regarded by the people of New Hampshire as a resideut of that State. He has kept a summer place there, but he has lived in Washington for the last fifteen years. He owns a little newspaper also, which backs up his claim for the Senate. er put a good deal of extra work into the yard at Portsmouth when he was Secretary of the Navy, and by the use of the department resources succéeded in giving himself a standiug in New Hampshire which he bad never been abie to acquire before.

A brother and suicides, Joseph Wall, an Englishman, had been in this country but a few months, worked in this piace but a short time, and then started to go West, He was ROBBED OF ALL HIS MONEY by sharpers on a train on the New York, Pennsyl- vania and Ohio Railroad. He made his way to the ons, and an uaintance of his received word that he drowned in Thorn Creek one day this week. Just before the war John Doolan of West Bloom- — went —* gga by ‘ lucky ng operations, acqu a ortune | of $200,000. He lost all his wealth in other speculations and became insane. He was placed in an insane asylum and discharged ten years ago, and returned to West Bloomfield, where he went to work as a farm lavorer. Three weeks ago he had troubie with his family, and for two weeks he refused to eat or drink anything. Last week his trouble seemed to have ceased and he went to work and lived as usual. On Wednes- day he had eaten his dinner, and a neighbor whom he had disliked came io. Doolan went down in the cellar. When the neighbor went away, Mrs. Doolan went down to tell her husband. She found him lying on bis face on the floor and with his throat cut and his right arm neariy severed at the elvow. A razor lay near him Adna K. Jefferson had lived for forty-two years in the village of Darien, where he had made a fort- une oy farming. On Wednesday his housekeeper found bim hanging dead by a rope from a beam. No reason can be assigned for this suicide. A BLOODY CONFLICT PROBABLE. The Most Dangerous of the Escaped Con- victs Still at Large. Brenuam, Tex., May 18.—The latest advices from Clay's plantation, the scene of the recent whole- sale escupe of convicts, is to the effect that quite a number have been captured, while others have sur- rendered. From these it is learned that the es- cape was not a premeditated affair on the part of convicts, and that the two strangers who instigated and aided in the escape brought with them at least twenty revolvers and twelve Winchester rifles. The returned convicts state that it isthe determination of those still at large, not to be captured, and that it will be folly for the officers to attempt their ar- rest without long-range guns unless they can get them cornered. The gang of twenty or more con- victs still at large, were at last accounts heading for Western Texas, and are changing their convict clothing at every opportunity. When the convicts ieft the —_ they carried with them six shot- guns and five revolvers, and those not mounted oa mules and horses belonging tothe plantation. took horses and mules fromthe farmers as they re- turned from the Brazos River. A large number of the convicts still at larze, are criminals from West- ern Texas, and they are desperate men, and will fight to the last before they will surrender, Tae country through which they are passing is fully aroused and a bloody conflict with the outlaws is almost houriy anticipated.

Loxpox, May 18.—Judge Hawkins this morning began the summing up in the case of Cunningham and Burton, on trial for treason-felony, in connec- tion with the recent dynamite explosions. The Judge explained the nature of the charge against the priscners, and the law in relation thereto, He then analyzed the evidence against Burton, and called the attention of the jury to the fact that Burton's statement was not made under oath. and, therefore, entitled to very little credence. If there was avy truth in the statement, it was astounding that no witness was called to support it. Mr. E. J. Phelps, the new United States Minister to England, was in the court room, dressed in mourning, and listened closely to the Judge’s charge. Mr. Phelps seemed very much impressed by the stern lan- guage of the Judge. ‘CUNNINGHAM AND BURTON CONVICTED. The jury returned a verdict finding both prisoners guilty. The prisoners were both sentenced to penal pervitude for life. BURTON BREAKS DOWN. Cunningham maintained his self-composure, but Burton broke down and sobbeck when the verdict was rendered. When the prisonert were asked if they bad anything to say why sentence should not be passed upon them, Cunningham protested that he was innocent. He said. ne was willing to accept servitude for life, but they could not touch his soul, Burton simply declared that he was innocent. RUPTURE IN THE SPANISH TREATY NEGOTIATIONS. A rupture has occurred in the negotiations for a commercial treaty between England and Spain. The Déminion, SOMERSET IN ASHES. Sourrser, Quenec, May 18.—Somerset village was destroyed by fire on Saturday night, about 100 houses being burned, including the church, the Presbytery, the foundry and the cheese factory. Many persons are in a destitute condition. Only the walls of the church are left standing. The fire originated in the foundry. The building being mainly of wood, the fire spread rapidly. There being no fire apparatus in the village, it was impos- sible to fight the flames. The convent was not burned, and it will probably be used as a church until a new area can be built. THE GRAND TRUNK AND CANADIAN PAOIFIO. Tonowro, May 18.— A cable dispatch to the Globe from London says: Grand Trunk Railway stocks were decidedly firmeron Saturdayj and to-day, owing to the belief of there be- ing a possibility of friendlier relations between this company and the Canadian Pacific people, It is understood that the feeling, in the best in- formed circles, is that good re sults will fow from Sir Henry Tyler's visit to Canada. The likelihood that an understanding will be arrived at between the two companies, which will resuit in avoiding undue competition between them, is greater than ever. This is especially the case in respeet to their interests in Ontario and Quebec. — ; contingent to the Suakim expedition have sailed for home Some of the Indian troops remain here. France. The Michigan Central car shops and the Detroit car wheel works have all received threatening notices during the past two weeks from the Socialists, telling them they must quit work. ‘There is apparently no dissatisfaction among the employes and no demands have been made of any kind.

This afternoon, the herculean task of moving the eoil of cable Which is to do duty on the proposed cable road, from the depot yards at Compton ave- nue where it now les, to the company's building on Franklin avenue, will be inaugurated under the direction of M. M. Buck & Co., the agents of the manufacturer. Few people have any conception of the preparations of , this undertaking, It will reqiure the steady work large force of men for two weeks to make the trip of about twelve blocks, and the proceediug will be attended by constant appreheid- sions of serious accident. The cable weighs over forty tons. or more than a heavy locomotive, and it is as unwieidy a thing as couid weil be conceived of. itis simpy a coil, like a huge spool of thread, and is twelve feet long by eigh many sewers must be d i is danger that occasion a collapse some the route, in which machinery would have to be erected to start it again on its way. In order to distribute the weight over a8 much space as possible, and thus reduce the danger to a miuimum, à set of very powerful trucks veen constructed, which, after the coil has been lifted upon it, wil be moved along the streets by means Of a windlass, worked by horse-power, just as frame houses are moved. It is expected that the cable will be safely housed before the ist of June. Ready for the Race. Messers. Powell and Weber of New Jersey, the champion Star bicycle riders, arrived in the cit, this morning, and have taken quarters near the Fair Grounds so that they can get the full benefit of the five days uf practice before the Ramblers’ meet of next Saturday. They are both charmed with the excelient track, and say that a number of record ought to and will be beaten on that day. EAST Sr. LOUIS.

By Telegraph to the Pest-Dispateh. | see See 19 years of age. Mr. Farrelly expressed a doubt as to the age despite the affidavit, and Williams volun teered to take oath that Miss Baldwin was 19, and at the request of the Recorder he did so, Williams then left the Court House and took the train for Carondelet, where he wasto meet Miss Baldwin. They had everything nicely arranged. and from the station were going to Justice Eagan's office. A few minutes after the departure of Williams, Deputy SHERIFF BALDWIN rushed into the Recorder’s office, wild eyed and furious. Out of breath and excited Le explained who he was and that the object of his mission was to prevent the issuing of a license to his daughter. The Recorder informed him of the status of the affair and that Williams was on his way to Carondelet. At Farelly's suggestion they hied them to the Chestnut Street Station and Sergeant Watkins was let into the secret. He tele- graphed Captain Koyd at the Carondelet Station to arrest and hold Wiliams and the girl. Boyd. ac- cordingly, was on hand at the Iron Mountain Depot when the St. Louis Accommodation train pulled in and nabbed Will- iams, who very soon put him in the way of finding his sweetheart. They were taken tothe station and held untii the arrival of Baldwin. When the three met the father started first to swear at Williams, then to berate his daughter in unmeasured terms. The Cap ain endeavored to calm him down. The girl cred, and Williams, ir the midst of the confusion, tried to ex- plain things. The picnic lasted for some sittle time until ly Mr. Baldwin drew his daughter aside. and, after a short talk with her, consented to her union with Williams.

Dr. Charles Luedeking this morning submitted his report of the chemical examination of the stomach of Mrs. Matilda Reynolds to Coroner Nidelet. The od woman was found dead in her bed at 10 o'clock on the night of May 11, at her home, 1234 N. Third street. The reading public are familiar with the circumstances. The report covers four and one-half very closely written paces of fools cap. It was developed by the examination that death resulted from arsenic and that the dose taken by the poisoned woman was of unprecedented size. A lump of the ‘drug as large as an orange was taken from the victim's stomach. There is no doubt of her having vomited many grains of the poison before the final collapse. The intestines bore testimony to the terrible work of the drug. Dr. Luedeking, in speaking of the case, made the remark that the amount of arsenic in the stomach was sufficient to have poisoned 200 peopie. The operator made the analysis in the chemical laboratory at Wasbington niversity. Charles Reynolds, the husband, has been held for the Cor- oner since the discovery of the body. He ip 25 years old and a native of Canada. The jury of inquest will reconvene at 6 o'clock this evening, when the report of the chemists will be presented, Important evi- dence may be had afterwards. Tae Police De- partment has not showed its hand yet. A LUMP OF ARSENIC. - Dr. Luedeking, who is the Assistant Professor of Chemistry at the Washington University, in speak- ing of the case with a reporter, said: “I don't be- lieve that lever was 60 surprised in my life as 1 was when I discovered that the lump—fully as large as a biscuit—which I found in Mrs, Reynold's stomach was arsenic. It was almost wholly arsenic. I have reduced a lot of the substance back to its shape as a powder, and 1 mean to keep it as a curiosity. The woman must havetaken a handful of the drug.

At any rate I was told that this morning, and it sounds very probable This will make no difference of course with the committee’s work.

Price, who is the manager of one of the bucket shops under the Exchange. told a reporter that he was getting Chicago ficures to-day, as he had been getting them for some time past by private enterprise. Thg Chicago bucket shops had no difficuity in getting the figures, but he heard of no new developments this morn- ing He proposed getting in the St. Louis quota- tions as soon as they were issued and trading upon them. H. Brown of the Western Union Tele- Company, said: What you tell me is news to me I do not know that the Chicago Board is furnishing the figures.

The merchants on Change, and the bucket shop men believe that it is only a question of time when Chicago will yield, but they do not quite believe that that time has yet arrived. d There are now twenty towns outside of St. Louis where the quetettene of the St. Louis market are taken already, a larger cirgulation than wae ever known before. —— — TWO MEN TO GO.

CIERICAL CANNONS. The Ministerial Guns to Open on Sun- day Desecration To-Night. The Bishops’ Meeting—Dr. Masden Explains—No Slight Intended—Mon- day Meetings. The bishops of the Methodist Church, after spending the Sabbath in preaching at various local churches, as announced in the Post-DisPaTcH, com- menced business again this morning at Union Church, at the usual hour. As indicated by the post-DisPaacH Saturday, the load of work still to througe was so great this morn- dl oe that 20 attempt will be made to effect final adjournmen until to-morrow. Nev- ertheless, the dix mes pushed ahead at the routine business until after the noon hour, and then took ust enough time for lunch before going back to the big oaken table which is piled high with reports and papers of all kinds. They began the afternoon session with an expressed determination to proceed with the work until 7 o'clock this evening before ad- journing for the day. REV. DR. C. P. MASDEN, pastor of Union Church, takes a decided exception fo the grumbling of some of the members of St. Luke’s and Goode Avenue churches over their not being provided with a bishop for a Sunday service. “It seems to me very unfortunate that any member of those churches should have spoken as they did, because I was acting, as I thought, acco to their wishes, and because the meeting of the bishops makes this a very ill-filting time for the airing of any little local grievances. That no- body was intentionally siighted I think can be shown. In the first place, the pastor of the Goode Avenue Church requested me not to send a bishop to his place. as they had not raised a certain sum of money they had been expecting to obtain and pre- ferred to wait to hear a bishop until some other time. Now, that disposes of any claim that that church was slighted. As for St. Luke’s, no request was sent by that church for a bishop until Saturday evening, twenty-four hours after the appointments had been settled upon and published in the Post- — | * DispaTcn. As it was thus not known tbat the pres- ence of a bishop would be acceptable at St. Luke's none was sent there. The fault lay nowhere else, I take it, than in the fact that no request was sent: t is all. ning the other denomina- tions, they were entitled to some consideration, as they had been urgent, indeed — sistent, in their requests for a bishop. Every effort was made to do the best possible for every church of our denomiuation in the city, and nobody ought to feel slighted.” MINISTERS’ MEETINGS, At several of the regular Monday meetings to- day the Sunday question, Which has figured quite prominentiy the past three weeks in tne Monday discussions of the reverend gentlemen, again showed its head only to be caressed, the meeting a the Y. M. C. A. pariors to-night at 8 o'clock of all the evangelical pastors of the citv in tne interest of Sabbath observance being the form the difficult problem assumed today. The Congrepational preachers discussed the meeting of this even ng very fully, and unanimously adopted a resolution on the subject, prepared by the special committee, Rev. W. C. Stiles ot the Third Congregational and Rev. Irl R. Hicks. f The Methodists had for asubject The Need of Missions Among the Roman Catholics,” Rev. W. T. Neff of St. Luke's presenting the question. Revs. Hughey, Hagerty, Jump and Corrington took up the argument and proceeded to show tnat such mis- sions would be beneficial in every way if they could be properly supported. Rev. Mr. Smith, presiding elder of the colored portion of the work, was present. At the Presbyterians’ meeting, Rev. Dr. Hollifield still being absent, the chair was oecupied by Rev. Mr. Brandt, pastor of Memoriai Tabernacie. There was an informal talk on the meeting of this evening, the necessity of all pastors attending being set forth. Rev. J. H. Purmoit from Southern Dakota gave a flattering account of the workin that part of the country, stating that in the last three years three one synod and eighty-five churches had been tablisued and a very powerful interest in Sunday- school work awaken The theme for the day was Wat the character of evening services should be, but owing to the lateness of theshour it was post- poned tll next week, when Rev.

ELLEN TERRY’S HUSBANDS, The Other Side of the Story About Her and Charles Kelly. London Correspondence of the Boston Herald. The first news that 6 Miss Ellen Terry on her arrival in London was the illness unto death” of her second husband, Mr. Charles Kelly. Although they had been se ted for pe she went rate away to his bedside ut only in time to informed that be had away. His two brothers were in at- tendance. She left it in their hands to arrange for the funeral as they should think best. and consulted their views in other arrangements touching the honor and credit of the man she had once heldin sincere and affectionate es- teem, Ellen Terry’s life has been a career of courage, industry and misfortune. Her first lage, when a girl, with a famous painter, father, turned out unhap- pily, as such marriages generally do, and union with elly brought to- gether two natures so violently in op- tion that everybody predicted the uble that soon ensued to separate and es- trange them. Mr. Kelly left the army to go the and he had many chances of a ished career; but he never had grit enough to utilize them. He had a line to work in, as may be judged from the fact that he made ge — 9 as Richard in Tom Taylor's striking play of “Arkwright’s Wife.“ He reached the height of his popularity as the hero of New Men and Old Acres.” Miss Ellen Terry was playing the d it was during their ments at the Theater that Charles Kelly fell desperately in love with the leading lady, won It was quite a stage ro- mance in — yf Kelly’s successful court- ship was spoken of among people who knew both persons as the triumph of a strong, per- sistent nature over a geutle and an impulsive one—the old story of the bold and perseverin wooer. The honeymoon, however, soon wan the impulsive woman was disenchanted, an it is not for me to enter into even such detai galt known, f only fair, porhays, to say own. air, perhaps, say that Mr. and Mrs. Charles Kelly shared their purses up to the last, and that the benefit given a year or so ago for 13 a compliment, and not a necessity.

House erence to the emplo nt of as sol- I think th 22 will enable him to penetrate many parts country, I cannot see the wisdom of the policy of hol them to await his arrival, when we may, by timely action and judicious manage- ment, use them to arrest his progress. I do not think that our white population can supply the necessities of a long war without overtaxing its capacity and imposing great suffering upon our people; and I believe we should provide re- sources for a protracted struggie, not merely for a battle or a campaign. In answer to your second question I can only say that in my opinion the negro, under proper ces, will make an efficient soldier. I think we could do as well with them as the ene- structions I do not see why * should not be- come soldiers. They possess the physical qualifications and their habits of obedience constitute a good foundation for discipline. They furnish a more promising material than many armies of which we read in history, which owed their efficiency to discipline alone. I think those who are employed should be freed. It would be neither just nor wise, in 4 cee to require them to serve as slaves. The best course to pursue, it seems to me, would be to call for such as are willing to come with consent of their owners. An impress- ment or draft would not be likely to bring out the best class, and the use of coercion would make the measure distasteful to them and to their owners. I have no doubt that if Congress would authorize their reception into service and em- wer the President to call upon individuals or tates for such as they are willing to contribute, with the condition of emancipation to all en- rolled, a sufficient number would be forthcom- ing to enable us to try the experiment. If it prove successful, most of the objections to the measure would disappear, and if individuals still remained unwilling to send their negroes to the army, the force of public opinion in the States would soon bring about such legislation as would remove all obstacles. I think the matter should be left as far as ible to the ple and to the States, which alone can legis- te as the mgs Pee 5 this 42 — service may require. to the mode of organizing them, it should be left as free from restraint as possi ble. Experience will su the best course, and it would be inexpedient to trammel the subject with 1 that might in the end prevent the adoption of reforms suggested by actual trial.

A Decline in Wheat, Followed By a Re- action—Corn Climbing Up. N rine @ 8t~ Chtoage Cuicaco, May 18.—Lower cables and slightly better repurts from the country set the crowd to selling this morning, and the market fell off 1 cent a bushel. Longs seemed to be the principal sellers, while the local crowd covered shorts to a large ex- tent. Later, under a better demand from the East, the price advanced till nearly the whole decline was frecovered, the market closing strong. There were some iuflammatory dis- patches circula ted towards the close regarding the action of Turkey in placing torpedoes in the Dar- danolles, but tney failed to hoist up wheat.

Yours truly, THE Post-DISPATOCH. A CORRESPONDENT in our Forum“ justly finds fault with the expression no doubt but that,” made use of by one of our reporters on Saturday. There isa great deal of difference between the leisurely perusab of literature by the light of a post-prandial cigar and the hasty production of it, wich the minute hand of the office clock actually rushing around to the point of closing up. To be really great a city wants a great many things, It wants good water, good streets, cheap gas, well-kept parks, race-tracks, rapid transit, fair railroad rates, first-class hotels, an exposition, live newspapers and a few enter- prising citizens. But above all it wants cheap homes for the people. Low rents are an element of municipal prosperity that cannot be overlooked, especially in hard times. — — — RECENTLY, when it was announced that the Duke of Connaught's expected return from India had been indefinitely postponed, consols went up and a feeling that war had been averted took possession of the markets, But now again the immediate return of the Duke is announced, and there could be no surer indica- tion that war is regarded by the British min- istersas imminent. Connaught is to repose on the military laurels he won by looking on trom a safe distance at the flight of Ananrs rabble, — er od Tae change from King Log to King Stork was made Saturday evening, when Mr. Lack- LAND stepped down from the Presidency of the Bt.

In the first flush of his accession to the throne, King Socrates I, inti- mated that if his subjects would guarantee him Sper cent per annum on $5,000,000 and ex- penses in perpetuity, he would release them from further imposta, but we do not believe that his promise held good over Sunday, a THE proposed Nationalist campaign in Ulster may be taken as the first product of the royal tour.

As it is the Nationalist chiefs have accepted what they consider u formal challenge, and the resui will fe 2 a ‘ ; : « ; 2 — | abundant and active, A hotly contested elec- tion in Ulster, between factions fired by cent- uries of hereditary hate will require more soldiers than voters, and is liable to be as fruit- ful in bloodshed as in ballots. a LIMITING CHARGES. Theoretically there is free competition in the gas business in New York, and there has been practically competition enough to bring the price of gas down to $1 50 from $8, But, as a combination among the gas companies is again putting up the price of gas, a legal limit to the charge is demanded by consumers as their only guarantee against extortion and monopoly. Strangely enough, the Sun, which wasa pro- fessed supporter of Gen. BEN BUTLER, the Anti- Monopoly candidate for President, denounces this demand as Communism,“ as a war upon property and property rights and property holders, an attempt to substitute the tyran- nical control of a despotic government” for free competition in business. Why has the Sun never protested against the tyrannical control of a despotic government” over the charges made by hackmen, dray- men, carters and others following a strictly private business in which there is no exclusive They use the public streets by virtue of a li- cense, which they have to pay for, and yet a limit to their charges is fixed by law, although any poor man witha little money ahead can enter into competition with them. There is a practical limit to the use of city streets by street car companies and by gas companies, and to talk of competition being free in their case is to insult publicintelligence. The priv- ilege of laying street car tracks and gas mains is practically an exclusive privilege, conferring a business menopoly from the very nature of things, and if it is communistic, tyrannical and wrong to regulate the charges of a big business run by a soulless corporation under a charter granted for the public good, why is it not com- munistic and wrong to limit the charges of the great multitude of small carriers, each of whom has his all invested in a vehicle and a span of horses? — WHILE the constituents of Mr. Sunset Cox are begging that brilliant political pyrotechnist not to leave them to go ® Turkey, the sover- eign of all the Turks is—if we may trust the telegraph—entreating Gen. LEw WALLACE not to leave Turkey to goto America. There is, however, this important difference between the mourners for departing Cox and the mourner for departing WALLACE: The former promise nothing asa reward for remaining, beyond a continuance of distinguished consideration” and the usual Congressional nomination, while the latter offers a high and permanent position in any branch of the public service the retip- ient may select, with the tender accompani- ment of a domestic establishment on the Mo- hammedan model, Cox deserves no special credit for refusing to stay at home, for the in- ducements are not particularly powerful; but WALLACE nobly vindicates both his patriotism and his morality by refusing to stay abroad in spite of such pressing and peculiar temptations. It is not every man who could thus turn his back upon an appeal to the pocket and the pas- sions, and for the love of native land give up at once a fat office and a fine harem. Virtue of such double-barreled sort is very rare, and it isnot surprising that the Sultan was com- pletely overcome by the unprecedented exhibi- tion. To afford him time to recover his equanimity and moderate his grief at the loss of so incomparable a jewel, WaLLace kindly consented to linger another day at Constanti- nople and dine at the palace. Let us hope that the farewell dinner assuaged the pangs of mu- tual sorrow, and that the Sultan aud WaLLacre are now as well as could be expected, THE statement that Senator Jor BLAck- BURN had tried to bulldoze the President by threatening war on account of the revocation of his brother’s appointment as Revenue Col- lector is contradicted, and we are told that the Senator and the President came to an agree- able understanding, and parted friendly enough for all practical purposes.” After staking all his prestige and influence with the Administration on getting either PHIL. THomp- SON or his brother appointed, and finding both rejected, BLACKBURN was just the man to biow off steam as represented. But he is hard- ly fool enough to make the refusal of an office to his brother the avowed cause of a rupture with the Administration. The BLAck BURN disposition to establish a family regency and “hog” all of the offices in Kentucky is rather straining the papularity of the Blackburn co- terie in that State. It does not become a Sen- ator to be demanding offices for his relations, and it was really an act of friendship on the part of the President to check Joskrn in his mad career. —— ö——— — A FEW words explain the present gas situ- ation in St. Louis. A gas plant worth $2,000,- 000 is bought, with a five-year franchise, for $4,800,000 by the “bull” section of its stock- holders, The franchise is the gift of the State and city. Without it the old plant would be worth but little more than the same weight of Ad junk. This franchise, which the city gave for nothing, has been used as a license to rob the community, and now we are asked to re- spect it as a bit of sacred private property, and to perpetuate it and guarantee a profit of 8 per cent annually on its owners’ valuation of it. If a five-year franchise is wortn 82,500,000, ac- cording to their valuation, a twenty-year ex- tension should make it worth $10,000,000 more, If we grant that we shall have to guarantee 8 per cent on $12,000,000 in order to meet Mr. Newman's ideas of a fair adjustment of the gas question. — THE old pot - and · kettle controversy between the baking powders is in danger of being over- shadowed by the wrangle between coal gas and water gas. The latter, we are told, cracks fur- niture and is explosive and poisonous, It has cracked several highly potished and richly mounted thonopolies, and has exploded high | prices in several cities, People who are draw franchise and really no limit to competition! ing 80 per cent dividends from gas stock seem to have an impression that itis much sweeter todie from asphyxiation when the gas costs $2 50 than when it costs only a dollar or less, and that it is much pleasanter to be blown up or cremated by coal gas than by water gas. Perhaps itis. But it must net be forgotten that the 80 per cent monopoly which we are asked to perpetuate has the charter right to im- pose on us whichever kind of gas it can make and vend with most profit. i nn Tun Globe-Democrat and the Republican are quarreling over the honor of having first suggested the monument to Frank BIam, which, to those who look at the present in the light of the past, is slightly funny. Twenty- four years ago the Republican would gladly have furnished the rope to hang Buarr, and ten years later the then unhyphenated Globe- Democrat would have borrowed the rope for the same purpose. Now both papers are pull- ing hair to decide which was BLAm's best friend! They had better keep well in the rear of the crowd next Thursday, for if the statue is at all like the illustrious original, it is liable to get down from the pedestal and kick them off the premises. — THE Republican is mad. It is mad because its valued exchanges are worrying it over its article in which it speaks of the British war steamers tearing up railroad tracks and devastating farms, mad because the authorities believe that the body in the trunk was the body of PRELLER, in spite of its theory to the contrary,and mad because WILLIS CRAWFORD, the boy counterfeiter, is not CoaRLiz Ross, after the Republican had identified him as CHARLIE Ross by his being two years younger and having changed the color of his eyes. —— WE accept, without question, the explana- tions which clear VEST and CocKELL of the imputation of nepotism. It was President ARTHUR who actually forced young VEsT into the consular service against the paternal will, and itis President CLEVELAND who is calling on COCKRELL’s relations-in-law to come up and be Consuls and thelike. President CLEVELAND should be notified that there are more Demo- cratic families in Missouri than thereare offices, and that the offices should be made to go around,” as far as possible. — — Offensive Partisans. From Vilas’ Letter toa Democratic Congressman. I think within the month of May I can give sub- stantial relief that will take away the importunity and discontent. I think that from 15 to 23 per cent of the fourth class postmas- ters of New York might be removed within the next two months and great good accom- plished thereby, if our people will adhere to a pro- posed plan. This is, in short, to pick out the most obnoxious and offensive partisans in each county to the number of a sixth to a quarter of all, and choose first-class men to take their places. I will require no more proof of the partisanship in these seiec- tions than the affirmation of knowledge on the part of a Representative or Senator that the postmaster has been an active editor or proprietor of a Repub- lican newspaper, printing offensive articles, easily shown by slips; or a stump speaker, or member of a political committee, or officer of a campaign club, or organizer of political meetings, or that his office has been made the headquarters of politica! work, or that his clerks have been put into the per- formance of political duties. In recommending for appointment I be: the Representative will state the age, business and what kind of business experience and a description of the business character of the app'icant, and also of his habits and standing in the community, It would be well to file evidence show- ing that he will be satisfactory tothe community, and when there are various candidates I shall be obliged by any explanation which the Representa- tive can give. The earliest removals and appoint- ments of this kind will challenge the keenest scrutiny. The former must be justifiable and the latter beyond criticism. Some mistakes have perhaps occurred, and our adversaries are keenly interested to make the most of every fault because they have perceived a strong current of general approbation of the purposes of the Administration. In rendering this justice to our people, which consists of these removals, and sub- stitution of our friends, I feel that it is very desir- able to proceed with extreme care, and thatI am correctiy representing the President's wishes and purposes in earnestly soliciting that every step may be taken accordingly. I may add that as the com- mon good is infinitely beyond the welfare of any one person, however good his place, so appoint- ments to further a mere personal end should be ab- solutely forbidden, and recommendations upon that basis may well expect disfavor. The Ruler of Afghanistan. From the Pall Mall Gazette. His Highness was dressed in military costume: light-colored coat, astrakhan cap, and loose trousers tucked into shining top boots. His waist wag girt by a broad belt studded with silver ornaments, and he wore a sword with richly chased scabbard. He sat his horse well, and wore the air of perfect self- | possession and impressivéness which always marks him. He is too dignified even to show surprise or astonishment, and takes everything as a matter of course. His Highness, Abdurrahman Khan, Ameer of Cabul, is rather a tall. burly man. large of limb, broad-sbouidered, slichtly inclining to stoutness, his face is not of the strongly marked® Jewish type which prevails so much in Afghanistan, but round and full, with a free growth of whiskers and beard, traces of gray showing in the latter, features clearly marked, and eyes keen as Afghans’ always are. From his face one would scarcely judge the Ameer to be a man of strong will and determination such as be has shown in his past career. Rather one would judge him to be of a quiet, pacific character, worn somewhat by the stress and strain of fortune, but now content for the world to take its way, a man approaching 50 years of age, and with every year lived to the full since early manhood. He has suffered much of late from gout, which his journey from Cabu! must have aggravated, and in stepping from the carriage bis temporary lameness becam apparent. He was dressed in a uniform of color. and without the elaborate gold embroidery which some of bis officers boasted. He wores richly ornamented sword, and had two small stars of silver, I think, on his left breast. His headdress wis a low conical cap of gray astrakhan or fur, with a broad, turned-up border, on which giittered some jewels. He looked a soldierly figure and had an air of dignity which well became him. Millionaire Apathy. From the New York World. This indifference and apathy upon the part of our millionaires gives the people the richt to say that the golden nabobs of the metropolis do not care for Liberty. They do not want monuments erected in to a government of the people; that they are Aris. tocrats in sentiment, and that they prefer the Mon- archy to the Republic. They spend their monay lavishly for fine yachts, horses, grand eoter- their money precisely as they please, but who is to blame if the masses hold that they are the enemies of Li berty? f The rich men of New York are making a mistake in withholding their aid from the patriotic move- ment now stirring the land. They are leaving an mpression upon the popular mind which will not soon be eradicated. The Pedestal will be built. It will be crowned with the symbol of Liberty. It will endure as a popular shrine. It will be the monument of the people, built by the hands of the tollers of the land, who will probably teach their | children that millionairés are the enemies of the magnificent government of equality which Wash- ington, Jefferson and Lafayette gave to humanity. No Hole to Fit This Peg. From the Chicago News. Ex-Gov. Thomas T. Crittenden, of Missouri, fails to “catch on” with the new national admin istration. The fact that young Ewing. the newly appointed consul to Mexico, and young Vest, the newly ap- pointed traveling inspector of the diplomatic ser- vice in Europe, hail from Crittenden’s locality would seem calculated to blight Crittenden's chances of recognition, When we take into con- sideration the facts that Crittenden was one of the first to suggest Cléveland for the Presidency, and scuttled around his home lot industriously engaged in whooping up Cleveland's interests before the Convention, it seems too bad that#Crittenden should be snubbed by the administration he cackled so ly to create. Yet we can readily understand how bothered President Cleveland would be if he were to attempt to find aplace for Crittenden—a place Crittenden ig competent to fill. Out, Damned Spot, From the St. Joseph Gazette. One might as well treat small-pox with Mrs. Win- slow's Soothing Syrup as attempt to stamp out the leprosy of Mormonism with these mild remedies. It is a desperate case and requires heroic treatment. It needs just such treatment in each particular case as the United States courts employed in Musser's case. Follow up this course aggressively and per- sistently and the devil himself will soon cease to defend this stronghold of his, Imprison every mother’s son of them whenever conviction is pos- sible, and martyrdom will speedily cease to be a luxury. What the South Expects. From the Wilmington (N C.) Star. The South that voted solidly for the President does expect that Republicans shail be turne4 out and reliable, honest, capable Democrats substituted, but it is not true that the South either desires or demands that they shall use and abuse their office as the Republicans did. The South does not desire or ask that Democratic partisans who will make their offices political machines shall be put in power. MEN OF MARE. BisMARCK’s poverty worries his friends.

Wuen Mr. Cleveland went to select a pew in the Washington church which he attends, he was asked what part of the building he would like to sit in. “Well,” he said, “i don’t want to be so near the minister that he can see whether or not I am listening.” Carram Howarpb, whose bravery saved the day to the Dominion troops in their recent fight with the Riel, insurgents, is a native of Connecticut.

What the Editors of the New York Journale are Saying To-Day. By Telegrawh to the Post-Dispatch. New Lonk, May 18.—The Worup says: It is probably a newspaper exaggeration to say that Senator Joseph Blackburn called upon the President the other day and read the riot act to him. Mr. Blackburn is not in a happy frame of mind, we believe, and when he talks, people in the neighborhood manage to catch the drift of his mind, but we cannot believe that he has been guilty of the impropriety of calling upon the President to Hy down his arms and disperse.’ THE SUN. The Sun says: “The Mugwumps have suffered from acute nervous prostration ever since the pub- lication of the Vilas letter and Secretary Lamar has evidently been ied to pity them. Indeed; every kind heart must pity them. for vanity and vexation of spirit must surely be theirs, or, as the new version hath it, ‘vanity andastriving after wind.” Mr. Lamar bas, it is said, appointed several Mu mps as special agents of the Labor Bureau. This may give themalittle joy for a season, yet is their labor à vain thing? A genuine Mugwump cannot be a laborer. e must have plenty of ieisure in which to meditate upon his own perfections. THE TIMES. The Times says: “The dissatisfaction with President Cleveland in his own party, though it is by no means s0 great or 80 deep as it is represented to be, undoubtedly exists and is worth noting. It is rather clearly recognized in the letter of Mr. Vilas, the Postmaster-General. who invites an earnest desire to procesa with the work of removals and appointments in his depart- ment, in a way which, if it does not satisfy the members of Congress, will, to some extent, disarm their ciiticam, since it invites their co-operation. The source of this discontent is the ion by the Republicans of nearly all the offices, and that, in itself, is a wrong. and is a perfectly legitimate cause of complaint.“ THE TRIBUNE. The Tribune says: “If Mr. Cleveland must find some way of turning ovt many thousand faithful officials solely because they are Republicans, and if he mußt put in as many incompetent creatures merely because they are Democrats who have been doing the dirty work of the party, then he may as well do it openly and invite his Congressmen and party committees to concoct the pretext and pick out the Workers for him. ng in that case, he will have to stop pretending to be a reformer of any size or sort.” THE PEOPLE’S FORUM.

Mann Boudoir Company’s Funds. Nothing has yet been learned at the office of the Mann Boudoir Car Company of Mr. Joseph Wychoff, the missing superintendent. All that is definitely known of him at the office is that the books show a shortage of about $1,100, and that Mr, Wychoff, who is responsible therefor, took the train for Fort Wayne, as the Post—Disparcs first stated on Saturday. The report m the morning papers that Wychoff did not gt off the train at Port Wayne, but continued on to Toledo, is not true. It is not definitely known that Wychoff stopped at Fort Wayne. His 8 is 4 very peculiar one. He was a bell-boy at the South- ern Hotel, in which capacity he attracted the notice of Count Zacharoff, who took bim into his employ. Zacharoff shortly afterwards displaced Mr. Trap- hagen, who had been superintendent for St, Louis of the Mann Company, ana advanced Wrchoff to the position. Since then the latter has handied the company» funds, and done ail their business here. r. Trapbagen took charge of the office shortly after Wychoff left, andavery hasty examination of the books showed that tnere was a shortage. Traphagen then telegraphed tae Chicago house to send a man here, which was done, and the books were carefuily gone over. Mr. Traphagen declines to make any statement for publication, and confines himscif to saying that the matter ap pears to be a smaller one than was at first sup- posed. It is said that the whole matter has been put into the hands of the pay, and that Wychoff will probabiy be brought back. ‘BILL MOKRISON Chats About the Iliinois Senatorial Fight in a Very Cool Manner. seated in the office of the Planters’ House, chatiing pleasantly with his cousin, Colonel Don Morrison. and Governor Phelps this morning, when a Post- Drspatom reporter introduced himself and joined eridelssoha Quintet Club of Boston, wil = issted Mme.

Ihe Gnal score was St. Louis 5, Mets 4. of Called on Account of Rain. The fourth game between the Haltimore and St. Louis clubs was called at the end of the fourth in- . ning on Saturday on account of rain, and saved the former club from its fourth successive defeat, the score being 8 to0 in the Browns’ favor when the game was called. The home club opened the game in a lively manner, O'Neill sending the ball to the bulletin board and scoring a home-run, while Comiskey secured a three-bagger in the second in- ning. As the rain fell for half an hour the game was not continued and will have to be played again, The Tables Turned. In return for the defeat received the previous day the St. Louis League Club on Saturday turned the tables on the Bostons, and won a victory from them by a score of 4 to 2. The Bostous were outplayed at every point, and though they had several oppor- tunities of winning the game in the fifth inning, when they succeeded in filling the bases twice, they failed to take advantage of them. Games Saturday. It wasthe old tale at Louisville on Saturday,’ the home club winning its fourth consecutive victory from the Athletics. Cushman of the Athletic8 was hit freely, and the hard hitting of the home club won the game. Kerins scored two three-baggers, Reccius and MeLaughlin each one, and Browning and Wolf each secured a double. The final score was Louisville 7, Athletics, 5. The Cincinnati-Metropolitan game at Cincinnati on Saturday was eharacterized by the hard hitting on both sides, each club succeeding in making ten base hits, and eachclub scoring two home runs, Fennelly and Snyder and Orr and Brady being the heroes. In the field, however, the Cincinnati Club showed its superiority and it was here they won the game, the Mets making some costly errors. In the third inning Roseman was spiked by McPhee while running to second, and two of his fingers were painfully lascerated. The final score was Cin- cinnati 7, Mets 2 fhe shortest League game ever played was that between the Providence and Buffalo Clubs ut Providence on Saturday, but sixty-eight minuteg required to decide the contest. The Prov- » Club were the victors, winning by a score of Hadbourne proved a complete puzzle to the faio, while Providence scored but seven hits off alem. Buffalo errors, however, came to t rescue and aided the Rhode Islanders materially in Wibhin¢e ‘ At \ew York the Chicagos were downed by the home club by a score of 13 to 4. A large crowd turned out to witness Ricbardson twirl for the New York,and he earned golden opinions by his fine work. The game was characterized alike by brill- lant plays and errors, the former principally by the New Yorkers and the latter by the Chicagos. Cor- coran was batted freely and was supported miser- ably, Which accounts for the drubbing received by Unicago, At 1 ten innings were necessa to decide the troit-Philadelphia game — the Phillias were able to add another tally to their score, which won them the game. When the home ciub tied the game in the ninth the crowd cheered lustily, and upon their scoring the winning run in the teuth the excitement knew no bounds. The principal cause of the Detroits’ defeat was the er- ratic delivery of Getzein, no less than nine men reaching first on balls and six wild pitches beix charged against him. Otherwise the clubs — about an even game and the victory would have been on the other side but for Getzein's pitching. The final score was Philadelphia, 8; Detroit, 7. The Brooklyns dropped another game to the Pittsburg at the grounds of the latter on Saturday, the hard hitting and superior fielding of the latter bringing about this result. The nw was too one- sided to be of any interest, and Pittsburg won eas. ly by a score of 18 to 4. Terry proved a snap for the home club, and they pounded him for fourteen bases, while the Brooklyn could score but six scat- fering hits off Morris. } Other games on Saturday resulted as follows: At Lebanon, III., Little Nicols 14, Woodcock Juniors 14; at Nashville, Americans 12, Macons 5; at Cleve- land, Cleyelands 10, Omahas 8; at Toledo, Toledos 18, Kansas Citys 8; at Milwaukee, Milwaukees 5, In- dianapolis 7; at Memphis, Memphs 15, Augusta 3.

Rufe“ has spent over thirty-three years in build- ing and sailing yachts on the Delaware,and he is known far and wide among the lovers of aquatic sports. Captain Wilkins says thaf, in comparison with ten years ago, there are not more than one- half of the pleasure yachts now in commission, but the yachts of today are better and more ex- pensive crafts than those that flourished a decade ago. He noticed that more professional men are taking to yachting for a pastime with each succes- sive year, and, as they have more money to spend than the class which used to be identified with the sport, the boat-builders are reaping a richer harvest in consequence. Captain Wilkins has soundeda timely warning relative to the dangers of the capsizing of small yachts. Last Sunday four boats were capsized on the Delaware on account of the heavy wind, but such mishaps may be averted, the Captain says, if yachtmen would build their boats deeper and thus do away with the carrying of sand-bags for wind- ward ballast. “I am convinced that the day of the ‘sand-baggers* is nearly over.“ said the Captain yesterday; by building boats deeper they can be made narrower and they will draw more water. They can then carry all the sail that is necessary without fictitious ballast, and make just as good, if not better, time in the bargain. In order to demonstrate the prac- ticability of —4 theory Iam now having two six- teen feet boats built of thig style. Unlike the toy boats, they will not need safd-bags on the windward gunwale for a ballasting power, and will not require a circus crew to sailthem. Just wait until they are completed and I will stake my reputation as a yachtman that my theory will prove correct.“ Cap- tain Wilkins will have seventeen boats in the water this season. The three impertant yacht clubs on the Delaware are the Quaxer City, the Pennsyivania and the Southwark associations, The Quaker City’s head- quvaters are at the foot of Market street, Camden; tne Pennsylvania's are at Otis street wharf, Ken- sington, and the Southwark, as its name indicates, embraces all the smail craft in the southern section of the city. Its headquarters are at Mifflin street wharf. . The Quaker City Ciub is the largest and most important organizatiou of tae three It takes in every class of yacht from twenty feet upward, and at present thirty-two boats are represented in the club, These boats are divided into five classes, as follows: First class, all over 38 feet; second class, from 82 to 38 feet, third ciass, from 27 to 32 feet; fourth class, from 24 to 27 feet, and fifth class from 20 to 24 feet. The members of this club are actively preparing for their annual regatta, which is fixed for June 8. The course will be the usual one, from Market street ferry to- Chester buoy and return, a distance of thirty-two miles. There has always been a fierce rivalry between the Minerva and Sunbeam Clubs for the championship of the first class. Arthur Colburn's new yacht Butler, from Providence, R. I., will take part in the regatta this year for thedirst time, aad much speculation is rife in consequence. The Butler is 56 feet long and sharply built, and is said to be very 8 Ine Minerva tried her new sails last Sunday, but sprung her mast. She is now tting ina new mast. The Nepenthe, belonging to ichard P. White, the lawyer, is also in the water. Mr. White is willing to enter the Quaxer City, providing he is given time allowance, The Nepenthe is about 50 feet long, and were she to be entered she would be placed in the first class.

Members of the Senate Indian Com- mittee in the City To-Day. — — — Senator Dawes Describes the Work the Body Has Before It-senator Maxey Grows Emphatic Over the Convict Labor System in Texas—The Late Outbreak, Hon H. L. Dawes of Pittsfield, Mass., accom- panied by his daughter and son, Miss Annie L. Dawes and H. L. Dawes, jr., and Messrs. J. R. Mo- Carty, Jas. J. Christie, E. M. Christie and Nelson Parker of Washington, D. O., arrived in the city this morning and registered at the Southern Hotel. Mr. Dawes is chairman of the Senate sub-commit- tee on Indian affairs, and to- ther with Senator 8. B. rr wag of he same committee, who arrived last night, is en- route to Muscogee, Indian Territory, where they will meet Senators Morgan of Alabama, Jones of Arkansas, and n of Kansas: Senators Morgan and Ingalls were to have met Dawes and Maxey in this 1 by a ntment, but Maxey has received rom bot n the effect that they would go direct to the Indian Nation and await the arrival of Senator Dawes and the rest of the committee. This arrangement did not exactly suit Dawes, since it interferes with his plan of beginning the coinmittee’s work, by taking testimony in this city. He said this morning that possibly he and Senator Maxey would remain here until to-morrow even instead of lea ving to- night, as at first intended, and proceed to work thout the presence of the absent committeemen, He was not sure, however, that such would be the decision of Senator Maxey, and he desired 3 consultation with him before taking any definite action or making any tive statements about the matter. Messrs. ames J. Chr.stie and Nelson Parker, accompany the committee in official capacities as stenographer and clerk. Miss Dawes and Mr. H. L. Dawes, jr., are taking the trip merely for pleasure. SENATOR DAWES, who is one of the most prominent members of Con- gress and enjoys a national reputation in connection with Indian affairs, having been the on of poor Lo in numerous word battles onthe Senate floor, is a gentleman of middle height, slight build and very | polite and pleasing address. His hair isa silvery white as is also his short beard, which contes to a sharp point in Puritan fashion in a straight line from the end of his slightly aquiline nose. His eyes, which are light blue and very mild and soft impart a kindly expression to his countenance and give out the impression that he is a quiet, easy-going, mild-mannered sort of rson. To a Post-DisPaTou reporter who met him in the rotunda of the hotel this morning, he said: Lou know, I presume, the object of the committee's trip? No? Well, Til tell you: The act under which we are operating isa very long and tedious sort of thing, and it would ouly bore you to repeat it. In substance, we are authorized to investigate the resent condition of the Indian tribes located in the Indian Territory, to inquire into the reported frauds existing in the Indian Agenoy Department and ex- amine into the title of the lands occupied by the Indians by white settiers. Under the latter head comes the Okalahoma boomers and the question of their right to invade and settle in the territory. The matter of leases by Indians to cattlemen and com- panies organized forthe purpose of raising and herding cattle will also be looked into and reported upon by the committee. It win require a great length of time to perform the work well, and our visit will not be in the nature of a pleasure trip by any means. Another branch of the Committee on Indian Affairs go on a similar mission to Dakota and the Northern States and Territories. “How is the political world moving along in the East, Senator?” “Well, I don’t know. There is nothing of im- portance which has been developed since the last campaign. Everything appears to be moving smoothly enough. obody is suffering or being hurt to any great extent, and Cleveland is doing very well.“ “How-——"’ There, now; I'vesaid all I care to say, and weil—good morning.“ and the Senator walked off to consult with the secretary about transportation to Muscogee, After a short palaver they decided that the M., K. & T. was the best route, and Mr. Christie was accordingly instructed to purchase tickets over that road. SENATOR MAXEY . was next approached by the repter. He is not as handsome nor as inteilectual-looking a man as Dawesis. Heis tall and spare, and should the occasion require it could with little effort, hang he plug hat on his angular shouider. I reckon you got all of the Indian you wanted out of Dawes, eh? ‘sposin’? we talk about something else, said h. The reporter acquisced and he continued. I see that the Northern papers have been full of accounts about the trouble in Texas with the convicts, and the general impression created by them is that public sentiment in the Lone Star State is opposed to tae hiring out of convict labor by the Government. Now, that is all wrong. I never heard of such a thing until I came up here. No one objects to cgnvict labor in Texas. On the contrary, the people rather favor it than otherwise. You see, we have two Penitentiaries in our State, and, altbough you may think that two is one too let me assure you they are full roof, and we have a large of convicts to spare at any and all seasons of the year. I don’: think that our people are any worse than those of other States. I ess it must be because the priscms are not 80 fares as they generally buildthem. At all events itis well known thatthe State has more convicts than it can take care of at the two penitentfaries, and considerable extra expense is incurred by keep- ing them elsewhere. THE PEOPLE ARE TAXED for it and naturally they are only too glad when the State officials can make a contract hiring them out to farmers or railroad companies. The talk that convict labor conflicts with honest labor is all bosh so far as Texas is con- cerned. It does nothing of the kind There is more thau enough of work there for everybody in the State, the convicts included. The only trou ble is not in a surplus of labor, but in a lack of it, Any good, strong honest fellow who goes to Texas can get work at good wages with- out the least bit of bother. We only wish that more of them would come.“ „But. Senator, . at class of citizens participated in the wholesale release of convicts who were work- ing on one of the railroads several days ago? Weren't they indignant at the emp:oymeant of con- victs to the exclusion of honest Jahor?” No, sir. Not a bit of it. it was some gang of men who had friends among the convicts whom they wish to set free. The question of labor did not enter into it atall, and what is more the public sentiment backs up the Governor in his efforts to capture the perpetrators of the outrage, He did not Want to Come.

This money represents the pennies, the nickels, the dimes end the dollars of 56,816 patriotic American citizens.

Senator Vest Expresses Some Emphatic Views Abeut the Edmunds Bill New Yorn, May 18,—In speaking about the visit of the Mormon delegation to President Cleveland Senator Vest of Missouri said yesterday, “I have always regarded the Edmunds bill, in one of its features, as striking at the most holy of connections —the marital relation. Under that bill the wife may be brought into court and compelled . to tell what bas passed between herself and husband under the sacred cover of marriage. The bill pre- tends to uphold the Christian marriage of one man to one woman, but really strikes it the most dangerous blowever known. Why, a man may be wed to one wife for thirty years, gnd then remove to Utah and become afflicted with the polygamous craze. The woman may be opposed toitin every form, but she can, under the Edmunds bill, be foreed to come is still his wife. Why, such a thing is SIMPLY DAMNABLE— OUTRAGEOUS. The only excuse that Edmunds could make for it was that the husband could not be convicted with- out the testimony of the wife. Bayard and Gar- land voted for the bill. I told Bayard that with his views of the sac character of the marriage re- local excuse. The people who were murdered at Mountain Meadow came from Arkansas. I stood up in the Senate and op the bill as I would again. They called me a Mormon out in Missouri, but I went on the stump and stood on my actiou and was sustained, Yet our people are as bitterly opposed to Mormon polygamy as the people of any other district. We drove Brigham Young and Joseph Smith and their followers out of the State. The remains of the old Temple of Zion still stand on a hill at Gallatin. It is a beautiful spot over- looking the country for miles und. The Mormond certainly Lad an eye for uty in choosing it. Ir old General John B. Clark has had his way, he would have wiped out Mormonism right there. He captured the Mormons and condemned Young and Smith to be shot. He was just about to execute them when Col. Dona- phin came up witha Clay County regiment. He told Clark that it wouldn’t do to shoot them without communicating with the Governor, whose name was Boggs. A messenger was sent to Boggs at the — and he came in person to Gallatin. Meanwhile, Young and Smith had agreed to leave the State if released. When Boggs came he agreed to cheno terms, and the Mormons went back to Nau- voo, N WHERE SMITH WAS SHOT. A curious commentary on the operations of the human mind came recently to A attention in con- nection with this affair, There isa man living at Chillicothe, Ohio, a well-known merchant, who was with the Mormons at Gallatin. He told me that Smithand Young gathered the women on the in- side of the tempie. The men all got outside or on the walls and were instructed to kneel in prayer. The prophets told them that there was no danger whatever, as the angeis of the Lord would come down and sweep the Missourians off the face of the earth. Well, Gen. Clark, not having any fear of angels, just deployed his troops, surrounded the temple and scooped them all in as captives. It was the failure of the angeis to come to the rescue that ersuaded the Chillicothe man that Swith and ‘oung were false prophets, and he left the Mor- mong soon after. But no longer ago than last year, he argued with me at some length the genuineness and authenticity of the Mormon bible as a revela- tion from deity.” A NEW STREET RAILWAY. A Company Organized and the Money Pledged for a Belt Road. To-morrow night an ordinance will be introduced in the St. Louis House of Delegates which, if passed, will grant a charter to the Central Belt Railway Company. This proposed street railway begins at Eleventh and Poplar streets and runs thence first along Eleventh to Spruce, down Spruce to Fourth, -up Fourth to Washington avenue; again starting from Eleventh and Poplar, the cars are to run along Eleventh to Spruce, up Spruce to Fourteenth, along Fourteenth to Wash- ington avenue, down Washington avenue to Fourth. The cars will thus follow two routes making a com- plete circuit of the belt on each trip, but going different ways. A diagram of the proposed route is as follows: 5 FOURTH STREET. he company which is to buiid tne road was or- ganized on Saturday evening. The principal stock- holders are Joseph W. Specht, M. J.

The necessary money for the build- ing has already been pledged, and it is said that the work will be begun at once, It will be noticed that new track covers the ness portion of the city, and the points of interest thoroughly. The route goes within two squares, at the farthest, of each of the prinei hotels and theaters. It furnishes a new transfer to and from the Union Depot.

Soc Newman Takes Charge of the Affairs of the Old Gas Company, Uses to $150 Per Thousand Imme- diately~And He Also Proposes to Let the City Fix the Price for All Gas Sold,if the Stockholders Can Have Eight Per Cent’ Interest on What They Own—The Immense Cash Sale That Preceded the Reorganization. * — A reorganization of the St. Louis Gas Light Com- pany was effected at a meeting of the Board of Directors on Saturday afternoon, Mr. R J. Lack- resigned the presidency, and Mr, Newman was elected in his Mr. Gerard B, Allen resigned as director, character was of this the Posr-DrisraroR Friday, but it came much sooner than was expected, even by the stockholders who were hoping for it. The first part of thewvork was done on Friday, when gentle- men re sent Mr. Newman purchased all of the stock held * fus J. Lackland, Gerard B. Allen and George A. Madill, paying for them at the rate of $400 per share. The number purchased was 747, and the amount of cash paid was $308,800. The trade was made with a view to effecting the changes in the board which are detailed above. The arrangement seems to have been en- tirely satisfactory, to not only the par- ties who were directly concerned in it, but to the other stockholders, as the recent events in the company’s history served to make Mr. New- man the recognized leader of the conservatives, and they are glad to see him in full control of the business, with a directory which will work har- moniously with him. Mr. Newman thinks he bought at a very good figure, as the earnings already in hand will net over $100 per share, thus reducing his real purchase price to something under $300. The impression prevails quite gener- ally that in taking in this great block of the stock Mr. Newman had the financial! assistance of 4 syn- dicate, consisting of several of the leading stock- holders, who to see him e the management. : 1. mo tt all your way “Now, that you have n what do you propose to do? asked a reer of President Soc Newman this morning. “I propose,” said he, “to leave nothing undone that | have the’right and power to do, which may bring about a satisfactory arrangement between this company and the people of St. Louis. I know exactly the feeling that exists against the com- have known ¢ all along, and now tI am a position to allay that feeling, 1 shall do so at once.“ What will be your first move?” I propose to reduce the price immediatety on all gas used for heat and power purposes, from $2 50 to $1 50 per thousand,’ in “On what condition?” “Without apy condition whatever. At the very next meeting of the Board I shall submit this un- conditional proposition, for the relief of all per- sons who use gas engines or stoves, and ap im- mense amount of gas is consumed through those ” means. „But what if the Directors do not agree with you?” “Of course I cannot speak definitely to what they will 0 but 1 have very good reason for believing that they will fully approve of my 7 I intend to exercise my ve best judgment for the interests that I represen and, of course, if I were to find t the would not co-operate with me in what I regarded as the best means to that end, I would have no other course than to resign. I must either be able to accomplish something, or MY RESIGNATION MUST GO IN. But there is no probability of any such dontingency, as I think the other gentlemen of the Board will be in full accord with me.” “and what do you propose to do about the price of gas for illuminating purposes? : “My 1 are very clearly formed on that sub- ect. I desire that the city shall appoint a com- mittee of say seven menin whom the public has perfect confidence and that taese men shall come here and satisfy themselves fully as to what our company is doing, has been doing and is likel to do. After they bave become thus satisfied, I want them to devise some arrangement with the company which shali protect the interests of the better than they are now protected, and which will at the same time secure to the stockholders a fair return on what everybody concedes to be a very valuable investment. The idea is about this: Recent events have proved that the company has property worth five millions of dollars. 1 propose to ask that the value be laced at four millions, and that the stockholders % allowed 8 per cent on that amount. If the city will enter into that arrangement, which is surely not a large figure in view of, the values we hold, I should be willing that the city make the price of change of predicted in per ceut be TURNED INTO THE CITY TREASURY.” “But what protection or guarantee would you exact in order to thus turn your works over to tue city?” “None at all. I would not ask any exclusive franchise, but would simply stipulate that, in case any other company be admitted to the district, our company be then permitted to charge what we see fis and take our chances. In short, if the city suould turn some other company in upon us to re- duce the value of our property, that we be per- mitted, in case we eat up the new comer, to make good whatever losses might thus be entailed upon us, by charging rates proportionate to tue circumstances. Under this arrangement that I propose, the price of gas could be put down to $1 50 per thousand immediately, if the city so desired, and consumers wouiu have the assurance that the moment the profiis ran over 8 per cent to the stockholders, all surplus would go into their public 9 treasury. | “Was this your purpose in buying?” “Yes. When the offer was made to the Philadel- phia syndicate to sell at $400 per share, the directors showed their hands, as it were, and since they were willing to sell thus to strangers they cou.d hardly refuse to sell to me ata like figure. When | protested to some of them against a sale at such @ figure, | was asked why I did not buy it my- self if I thought it was such a bargain. I told them if I succeeded in raising the money I certainly would buy. I. of course,-had not the cash to tage those 747 shares, but I went qut and borrowed it, and took them in on my own account. Since buying, two of my friends among the stockhoiders have offered to take 100 shares apiece off my hands at the same figure, but I RESPECTFULLY DECLINED. I contracted to take the stock on ＋ , and there noon on Saturday the gentlemen who rnoon a meeting of the directors, and I don't think any of by me had their money. On Saturday afte was them, except the three who sold, bad idea what had happened. Judge Neal was mi the sad - I don't, think the gentiemen me will have any occasion to of the situation was “By the way, Mr. Newman, you say you will furnish gas for heat and power at $150 per thou- sand without any delay. How will you be able to tell what quantity ia used for heat and power, and what quantity for illumination in a house, where it all s through one meter?“ 1 enough. will approximate it, by finding the difference between tae amount used in the house when @ gas stove or a gas engine is at- tached, and amount used in à corresponding month before any gas stove or gas engine was in use in the house.

Storey—A Man Well Fitted for Pu lic Life, | — * Speetai Correspondence of the Post- Wasuinetor, D. C., May 16~Judge Lambert Tree of Chicago, has come suddenly into promi- nence because of his succeeding Mr. Morrison as the caucus nominee of the Democrats in the Illinois Legislature. Mr. Tree ig very well known in Wash- ington. He has spent a number of winters bere lately. He was born and brought up here. His father was one of the oldest clerks in the city Post Office. Lambert Tree, senior, died about three yearsago. He was a very distinguished looking old gentleman, with a snowy-white mustache and the air and manner of an admiral of the navy upon the retired list. Lambert Tree, jr., went to Chicago after finishihg his edueation here and began there the practice of law. He married there Miss Magee, the only child of the wealthy Magee family, who were early holders of large blocks of real estate in Chicago. The fortune of the Magee family was not a speculative one. It has always remained invested in this real estate, which, with the natural increase of value, has brought the property up so that it is worth to-day between four and five millions of dollars. Judge Tree made a marked success at the bar and for a nuniber of years was one of the most trusted of the higher class Judges in Chicago. During the latter years of his term he became poisoned thropgh the long breathing of the foul atmosphere of his court-room. He became quite ill. His physicians, after he partially recovered, said that he must not go back upon the bench. The Judge insisted, however, as he desired to retain lis pertest independence of the fortune of his wife's family. 2 * “Mr. Magee's health also failed about this time. He then made a proposition to Judge Tree to insure his permanent retiring from the bench. He offered to settle on him an annuity A to his Judge's salary, $7,000 a year, if he would consent to resign and give his entire attention to his private affairs. Judge Tree accepted this offer. They ali went to Europe and remained abroad for a number of years. Five years ago they returned. Soon after their re- turn Mr. Magee died, and withina year after that Mrs. Magee followed him. The buik of the great property was left tw Mrs. Tree. The Trees have one son, Arthur, a tall, handsome, broad-shouldered fellow, wuo is just finisning his college career at Princeton. He is the only child of the Trees and will be the heir of a very great estate, He has has been brought up with as much rigid care as if he had no future before him except that of work- ing for his support. He was partially educated at Eton and there acquired a grea: fondness for out of door sports and exercise. Judge Tree himself is a scholar, a.man of the world, a most excelient law- yer and a man well adapted to public affairs. He is not easily excited and is one of he most conserva- tive of conservatives. Judge ‘Tree is in the neighborhood of 50 years of age. He is not tall, but yet is slightly above the medium height. His figure is well rounded and very erect. Heisof the blond type. Tuer is as yet very iittle grey in his brown wabing hair, or ia the sweep of bis thick military mus- tache. He has a very wide, high forehead, a pair of clear biue eyes which light up with geniality aod spirit of fun in social converse, or can take on the coldest of looks when he is considering a matter of business. He has a large Roman nose and a square smooth shaven chin. While his manners might give one the idea that he is mild and yielding, yet underaeath he isa man of iroo. He was one of Wilbur F. Storey’s most intimate and oldest of friends. He was with Mr. Storey in Paris when the latter had a severe attack of paralysis which every- one thought at toat time would prove fatal. Dr. Brown-Sequard, through the heroic operation of burning the opine, brought Mr. Storey up. The most that the Doctor hoped 2 then was to enable Mr. Storey to live long enough to reach home, The old gentieman surprised everyone by living through one or two attacks after this and did not die until ast summer, five years after his return. Judge Tree was one of the executors named in one J Storey’s earlier wills. It is probable that if there had been no complication of the affairs of Mr. Sto- rey the Times estate would bave been administered under the management of Judge Tree. As it was he was Offered last summer the conservatorship of the estate when the court decided that one should be appointed before Mr. Siorey’s death. He re- fused to accept the trust because of the invo.ved condition of affairs and the bitter fight that was going ou between numerous factions to obtain con- trol of the paper. He knew that Mr. Storey could not live long and that he would incur great em- barrassment and respousibility without any real compensation. 2 * Judge Tree once had avery serious falling out with Wm. R. Morrison. ‘the occasion of it was rather an amusing one. In 1880 the Illinois friends of David Davis tried very hard to get the delega- tion united upon their man. They round, however, that Morrisoa stubboraly contested with bim for contro! of the delegation. ‘The result was a divided deiegation. The friends of Dav.d Davis believe that it he couid have gone into the Cincifnati Conved- tion from bis State in 1880 he would have been nom- inated by the Democrats instead of Hancock. Mor- rison remained stuovorn, however, and would not withdraw, Editor Storey was always a thick aud thin friend of Davis. He never forgot the service reudered uim during the war when Judge Davis got Lincoin to revoke the order of Burnside suspending tbe pubiication of the ‘limes, He was very auxious to get Morrison to withdraw, He wrote a letter to Judge Tree about it. Tue latter was in Wasuington at the timie. ‘ree answered Storey 's letter and com- meuted, as he migat ina private letter writen to an old friend, upon Morreon. He spoke of him iu very sligbting terms. Storey printed this letter to Show Wiuat was thought of Mormson down in Wasiingioa. ‘os serious breach of coafidenve npon the part of the veteran editor was oue of the tirst evidences of uis mental break down. Its pub- ication embarrassed-Juuge Tree very much, aud and made Morrison furious. He refused to speak to the Judge, and it was a leng time before Lricndiy relations were estab lisued between them again. it may be that the memory of this little episode has coustrained Morrison to remain a candidate longer than he would otherwise have done. For it hag been weill understood for some time that Judge Tree would be the nominee of a caucus in the event of Morrison’s withdrawal. Heis very popu- lar in Ulinois. He has run for Congress twice, but mm ho Republican disiricta m Chicago. He Las au ition for pyblic life, and as be is thor - oughly equipped for it, he is certain to reach the object of bis ambitiOh in time, if he does not pen to prove successful in this A. and compii- cated fight at Springtield.

The Katie Hill habeag@ corpus case came up for a hearing this morning in Judge Lubke's Court, Mrs. day with a young baby about two weeks old, and asked to leave it there a short while until her return there and went out and borrowed $5, came back aud gave the old woman $4. # £Sie then sought employment in a book bindery, - went to live with an old friend of her mothers, She visited the child frequeatiy duriag the first four months, when Mrs. Brooks moved aad she lost sight of it. After a long search she again found the chud. Two years after her co nt at the Cuy Hos- Pital she was married. Her husband knew of tae existence of the child and was willing to let her take it and bring it up. She sought Mrs. Brooks on a number of occasions and tried to regain the chiid, but the latter alwaysrefused to give it up unless she was paid a certain amount of money, which was more than she could raise. fFinaliy, in order to get the child, she had to institute these proceedings. Two or three tunes during the recital yf her testimony, Mrs Cressaz burst mio tears wheuever she was cou peiled to allude to her home- less aud friendless condition. Mr. Cressaz, the hus- band of the applicant, took the stand and said that he had cousented to the proceedings to save the child from a life of shame, and that ae was w to adopt it, Several witnesses were put ou the stand io testify to the good character of airs.

The local holders of bonds on the Vulcan Iron Works held severa! long and earnest conferences last week, which finally resulted in the appoint- ment of a committee, which is to go at once to New York and endeavor to effect a very important ar- rangement with the holders of bonds on the Grad Tower property and the Pilot Knob Company. By this arrange- ment the outstanding bonds of these three concerns are to be lumped and taken up by a new issue of bonds, to cover the entire assets of the three companies. The committee appointed to per- form this duty consists of Messrs. Pierre Chouteau, John W. Nobie and C. C. Maffitt, they will meet iu New York Mr. James Clara, who bas for several days, and who est in one of these t ties. The bonds outstanding on the three concerns aggregate about $2,600,000, and there is a conflict of Opinion as to how they should rate. It is conceded that the Pilot Knob bonds are worth very much more than those of the Vulcan or Tower concerns, but the latter two are fighting for second lace. That is to say, the holders of Grand Tower — insist that their haldiags are just as valuahle as those of the old Vulcan, while the Vulcan bond- holders insist that they should be allowed a better percentage in the divy than the Grand Tower men. ff is proposed to take up the $2,600,000 of the mis- cellaneous paper with $2,000,000 of pew paper, and to issue che latter to holders of the Md paper, on a schedule of comparative values which must be established by the interested capitalists whom the St. Louis committee expect to get tégether in New York. There will be a great deal of argument and hot blood, in all probability, before any schedule of vaiues can be arranged that will be accepted to all of the bondholders. AKSENIC PIES. The Cocoanut Pastry That Broke up the Party at Mr. W. C. Meyers’ House. A party of friends, seven in number. were gath- erred at the residence of Mr. W. C. Meyer's, 2728 Adams street to pass the evening yesterday, were treated to one of the queerest and most unpleasant experiences yet on record as part of the evening's entertainment. About 9 o’clock the party sat down to lunch, in the middle of the table being a fine cocoanut pie of which everybody partook heartily. Immediately afterwards tue entire party became violently sick, suffering the most ae pains in the stomach. Dr. Friedman of Wal- nut street was summoned to the house, and ina few minutes diagnosed the cases as arsenical pois- oulug and applied the usual antidotes.

Some Very Pertinent Statements From a Practical Railrond Man as to the Alleged Causes of Delay in Building the Road—Several More Important Facts in the History of the Enter- prise—How a Dummy and Two Cars Can Solve the Difficulty. — Two of the members of the Municipal Assembly —one belonging to the Street Raiiroad Committee of the lower House, made an inspection tour yes- terday through the West End, forthe evident pur- pose of posting themselves as to the real condi- tions prevailing with reference to the Narrow Gauge road and its cable connection whith was to have been, but is not. They waited an hour and a half at the Grand Avenue Station before getting ty to ride out to — cit N B re — 2 — te the The peo- Peld ratification meetings wherever they to the peculiarities the movements of syndicate. These suburban gen- t lemen occupy a oe position in the mises. They,want to have the corporation as it were, but they don't want to get it killed. They want it to get an extension of time on its franchise, so that it need not forfeit the $50,000 bond which it has given to the city, but they want the extension so arranged as to make the company hustle littie in order to save itself. the claim train Grand avenue and the city limits would cost 380, 000 per year is all bosh, as one industrious little dummy and one or two nice cars, if kept steadily vibrating between those two points, would furnish all the accommodation that is asked for. In order to get the light of practical experience upon the — which the cable company makes EXPLAINING ITS FAILURE TO BUILD the cable road on time a reporter called this morn- ing on a well-known raiiroad man, who is thor- oughly posted on construction work as well as upon the science of operating railroads. “Whatcan you teil me about time required to build cable roads else where? the reporter asked, a few preliminaries. The first cabie road in Chicago had its cars run- ning within one year from tie date its privileges were obtained from the city and within six months from the time the actual work of construction in the streets commenced. Kansas City aiso made a good record, but I haven't the exact figures with me now. I understand the cabie company here has about cousumed the year granted by the city in which to complete its road and is still telling What of its prospective patrons believe to be cock- and - bull stories about troubie with yokes, etc., etc. However, I think the city should givethem the benefit of the doubt and allow a reasonable exten- sion of time. As I understand the article in your issue of Saturday, even the Narrow Gauge patrons champion the raiiroad company’s cause in this re- spect and the latter should appreciate it, for, whether they have sold tneir francuise or not, an extension of time means a ciear saving to them of | the $50,000 forfeit imposed by the present ordi- n > +? nance. “What about the hourly traina? Can the company afford to run them?” “This appeal is certainly a reasonable one. Ev one knows that the richest on of St. uis is destined to be in the West End, and if you will take the trouble to go out to Union. avenue and beyond you will find some of tue most charming suburbs you ever saw and aiso that ° THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS HAVE BEEN SPENT in 1 because iuvestors believed that the * would compi the running of hourly trains from June 6. The people of St. Louis can unques- tionably dictate terus to the Cable Company, and their municipal servants clearly have the right to make liourly service or even fifteen minutes service to and from the city limits, one of the conditions to be complied with if an extension of time is granted; 2 the Cabie Company was smart enough to. obtain its franchise as an exten- sion of the Narrow Gauge Road down through tue city, in order to avoid possivle complications, under what is known here as the third parallel law.“ Aiso because street cars are now required to run out as far, in adjacent sections every fifteen minutes.“ How much would the company lose by running the hourly trains west of Graud avenue which are asked for?” “Well, looking at it from a railroad standpoint I don’t believe that the results of the first. year, when footed up, would show the joss of a single dollar. The distance from Grand avenue to the limits of the city is only three and one -· nalt mies, and the expense of running a single train every hour cannot bankrupt a very heavy in- stitution, even if they don't garry a passenger for three montas, and there is ＋ good patronage al- ready provided. I have been over the road clear to Fiorissant and could not fau to notice the sur- passing beauty of tue country through whica it runs, and the num of peopie that already live along its line. It must take nerve, though, for a business mau to locate out there if they only have four or five traiasaday. Tue district trioutary to this road is capable of supporting in comfort 50,000 people. There is no iunm to the business which can be worked up, and it will be the cream of tue city, too. Thereisnocity in the United States which has finer natural advantages for suburban resi- dence than St, Louis, and mark my word, if it would = cultivate and encourage them, there wouid MUCH LESS UNFAVORABLE COMPARISON with Chicago and otaer cities. Why. in Ohicago, points nine mies out from the Court House can be reached in twenty-five minutes, the same time it takes to get to Grand avenue here, which is only twoanda@half miles out. Tgey havea hundred suburban trains a day each way tuere, and a large percentage of them are ouly4ifteen minutes apart. So you will see thet it don’t take an amazing amount of assurance to ask for a train every hour, and they snould noc stop at 10 o'clock at night either, for that would, practically, be placing an em © on the enjoyment of tue residents and tax-payers in the city of many of the privile of city lite, suca as theaters, lectures, concerts, chureh enierltainments, etc. etc.” “If the suburban business can be made go valua- ble, ma de not other steam roads here foster it more?” “They are gradually getting around to it, but none of them can land a passenger in the business district. Ine Narrow Gauge road, with its exten- sion by cable, can land business men almost rigat at their offices or stores; the ladies can get off at Barr's, aud if you area married man you can ap- preciate the force of that argument. Besides, it will run right by the Exposition Building, aud you know what that will be worth as the fixposition regses in importance. sho the —— obtained by this company is on of the most vaiuable ever granted by the Municipal As- sembly of this city.” 1 “Don’t the rauroad folks know as well as their patrons . 0 8 & good ꝗ n, and I guess the com would call it a poser.

How John Coleman Met His Death at the Hands of Larry Cunningham, The death of John Coleman yesterday furnished work for the Coroner to-day. The deceased was a teamster, 40 years of age, and, it is said, a hard drinker. According to the story told by those who know the facts, Coleman came home about 4 o'clock Sunday morning to his home, 2249 O' Fallon street, very drunk and began beating his wife. He kept this up till shortly after 8 o’clock, when he struck the unfortunate woman with a well bucket, cutting the back of her head open. She ran to the Third District Sub-Station, where she was advised to go to the Dispensary to get her wounds dressed. Instead of doing this she returned home, meeting two friends on the way, „ Larry Cunningham and Pat Flood who, it ap had also been drinking. She asked them to come home with her and protect her from ner husband. Just as she did so her husband came out of a saloon near by aud approached the party. Mrs. Coleman made off to the house. Cunningham told Coleman that he ought not to beat his wife, and a quarrel immediateiy began. Coleman jum at Cunningham, and the latter struck him in the mouth, wnereat Coleman fell to the ground and died. His skull was found to be fractured over the eye, butitis possible that this might have been caused by one of the stones of the pavement. His body bears other marks of ill usage. Mrs. Coleman d that she did not see the blow struck, and that when sae came out of the house her husband was lying dead on the sidewalk, and Flood and Cun- ningham nau gone away. These two and the woman were arrested and held for the Coroner, “Having been the rounds I have made up my mind that Dr. Kennedy’s Favorite Remedy” 3 I.. supreme cure for dyspepsia.— W. McKnew, ore.

THE FALLEN HOUSE. Further Work by the Fire Department in the Ruins—Cause of the Accident. The history of the collapse of the house No. 1516 Olive street was so fully told in the Posr-DisPaTou extra of Saturday afternoon that little remains to be added to it. As was then stated, two of the men working in the adjacent excavation were buried in the ruins of the fallen house, and one of them was taken out dead.

One of the Important Cases Before the Supreme Court. | | Suit to Recover a Bribe Alleged to Have Been Taken by a Director— How $15,000 Was Put Where it Did Most Harm—Interesting Story of a The great delay in the rendering of decisions by the Supreme Court of the State ig causing much unfavoravle comment on the part of lawyers and their clients. Many important cases are awaitng a final settlement which involve very large interests. Among these is the somewhat celebrated case of Bent, receiver, vs. John G. Priest, the develop- ments in which caused a veritable sensa- n alleges Mutual Life ness in St. Louis, paving S ceeding $5,000, have a receiver appo charge of its affairs: that while the proceedings were pending the Mound City Life Com- y conceived the idea of reinsuring the St. Louis utual’s risks and receiving in compensation therefor all the assets of the insolvent 11214 that at this time the affairs of the St. Louis utual were under the ment of the defendant and other directors of company, to whom the Mound City Company made overtures to induce them to consent to the making of a contract carry- ing out the Mound City’s designs, stipulating with them, and especially with defendant, that if he would aid in the in of the contract they would give him $15,000, which offer defendant accepted, and aided in promoting and making the contract, waich was entered into and made December 13, 1878. The petition further states that on February 20, 1874, the Mound City Company delivered to de- fendant the valuable consideration, amounting in value to $15,000, the consideration wherefor was the — by him ot᷑ the trust re in him by the stockholders and policy bolders of the st. Louis Mutual Life Insurance Company, by promoting the transfer of its assets to the Mound City Company; that the defendant received THE VALUABLE CONSIDERATION at the hands of Charies H. Peck, who was tnen and there the agent of the Mound City Company; that upon the masiug of said contract on December 17, 1573; the proceedings against the St. Louis Mutual were discontin and that afterwards, on March 1, 1876, the name of the Mound City Company was changed totnatof the Columbia Life urance Company; that on December 7. 1876, Celsus Price, acting Supermtendent of Insurance, 1 proceed - ings against the St. Louis Mutual, which finally re- sulted in Silas Beut being appointed receiver of the company; tnat the Columbia Insurance Compan had already been placed in the hands of e Alexander, as receiver; that the liabilities of the St. Louis Mutual were greater than its assets and those of the Columbia combined couid discharge, and that the contract of reinsurance with the Columbia was worthiess to the St, Louis Mutual and its policy holders, by reason of the Columbia's insoivency, and that if was the duty of the piaintiff to eoliect and realize to the utmost all assets be- longing to the St. Louis Mutual; that part of the assets is composed of the valuable consideration received by tue defendant on the 0th day of Feb- ruary, which piaintiff is entitied to recover from said defendant, with the highest rate of interest Laereon, Compo semi-anuuaily.” At the trial the contract was produced by a wit- ness named Lomax, between A. M. Button, Presi. dent of the St. Louis Mutual, and Chas. H. Peck, by which the iatter agreed to devote his services to SECURING THE SUCCESS of the reinsurance scheme for a consideration of $155,000. Mr. Lomax aiso testified that Peck was paid in the neighborhood of $150,000 for his ser- vices, Edward Wyman, who was a partner of the de- fendant Priest at the time the transaction com- ined of occurred, testified that he agreed with Unas. H. Peck to promote tne rei scheme for a consideration in the shape of bonds, which Peck placed with Napoleon Mulliken in escrow. The agreement was that if the reinsura..ce scheme carried, they were to be turned over to the witness. This was done, and witness gave half of the bonds, of tae aggregate value of $156,000, to Priest. Upon the package containing the bonds was written a memorandum to the effect that if the reinsurance took piace the paces was to be deiivered to witness. Witness he used arguments witb Priest to induce him to forward the scneme. Pec« had aiready tried the line of argument in the same direction without success. At the time he was arguiag wito Priest the latter knew that witness had been employed by Peck to endeavor to secure his vote for reinsurance. Witness divided the consideration .with Priest, the understanding being tuat it was a partnership transaction, Priest getting $7,500. worth of the bonds Tne deposition of JOHN G. PRIEST, the defendantin the suit, was also taken. He stated that he was a real estate broker and financial agent aud wasa director inthe St. Louis Mutual Lite Insurance Company. He knew Cnarles H Peck. Hedeciined to answer whether, as a director of tuat company, be voied forthe reinsurance of the St. Louis Mutual in the Mound City Com- any. He stated that he did not receive from Mr. „k $15,000 in Leavenworth, Atchison and North- western railroad bonds or in money at or about the time of the reinsurance of the St. Louis Mutual. He did receive 57,000 worth of such bonds from his partner, Wyman, who said thatthe firm of Priest & Wyman had earned them as brokera,e on the sale of St. Lours Mutual stock. Did no. know to whom the stock wassold. During the pendency of the St. Louis Mutual's troubles in the courts Peck visited him and spoxe in favor of the reinsur- ance, saying if it were not done a receiver wouid be appointed and the stockholders would lose their stock. Peck said it was a matter of business, and wituess said if that was so ne had better go and talk witu Mr. Wyman, witness’ partner. : The question was asked here: Did you consider it right of your firm to make a profit out of the reinsurance of a company ia which you were a director and on whica ce you would have to vote asa di- rector?” Defendant answered: “I saw nothing wrong in the matter then, and I would do the same thing under the same circumstances now.“ Defendant stated tnat he understood the firm made the money by tne sale of $100,000 of St. Louis Mutual stock, which he supposed was bought by the rewsuriog company. Did not kuow whether the transaction was ever entered, on the firm’s books, Wy gave defendant the bonds in their office a great many months after he had con- versed with Peck. Defendan. was STILL IN POSSESSION ot them. He did not know who paid for Priest Wyman's services in the transaction. Wyman never told him. He never asked Wyman, aud did not know why he didn't. It was a rather uuusua profit for Priest Wyman ta make out of insur- ance.

The history of the case against John G. Priest goes to suow the very peculiar delays which certain suits are sometimes favored with. On June 28, 1881, the Court of i, affirmed the decision of the St. uis Circuit Court against John G. Priest for $10,400 35, aud an appeal was taken to the Supreme Court July 12, 1831.
