New Lon. June 8—It was only a very small. funeral yesterday that wended its way slowly from the King’s County Hospital to the Holy Cross Cemetery at Fiatbush. There were no handsome carriages, no long string of hacks, only the hearse containing a small plain coffin,followed by a solitary eoach. But the mourners were just as sincere as at the and most imposing funeral. A hundred faces w@e met with tears and a hundred were touched by grief. 3 2 It's only a newaboy.“ said a policeman.

This will certify that two members ot my imme- diate family, after having suffered for many years from menstrual irregularity, and having been treated without benefit by various medical doctors, were at length completely cured’ by one bottle of Dr. J.

Whitner of Atlanta, well and favor- ably known all over the United States asa General Insurance Agent, says: “I used this remedy before the war on a large plantation in a great number of cases, alays with absolute success.” Dr. J. Davis of Milltown, Ala., writes: “Have used Bradfield’s Regulator extensively in my practice with entire success, It is not a specific; it is in my the best known remedy for the diseases for which it is recommended.” A lady of Bonham, Texas, writes: “I have been using your Female Regulator for several weeks and with great benefit. My case isof long standing, an has baffied many physicians. I have tried every medicine I could hear of, but the Regulator is the only one that has ever relieved my distressing suf- rings.” NOTASULGA, ALA. Dr. J.

Reynolds Arrives in St. Louis to Clear His Father’s Memory. _ = nm The Sequel to the Late Tragedy at the Southern Hotel—An Effort to be Made to Reopen the Inquest—What Lieut. Reynolds Has to any About the Case. Lieutenant L. K. Reynolds of the United States navy, and generally known as one of the rescuers of the Greely Arctic exploration party, arrived in St. Louis this morning and is the guest of Mr. C. K. Albers. Thesad death of Lieutenaat Reynolds father, Mr. George W. Reynolds, at the Southern Hotel last week, is the business which has brought the young officer to St. Louis. Mr, Reynolds’ family have been tly shocked and grieved at the verdict brought in by the Deputy Coroner, who that Mr. Reynolds bad committed suicide. Lieut. Reynolds is here for the purpose, if possi- ble, of baving this verdict reconsidered and changed go that it wiil be in accordance with the facts in (Se Case. Lieut. Reynolds was met on Change to-day by a Post-Dispatca reporter, who questioned him about the case. “Tt is absurd.“ said Lieut Reynolds, to say that my father committed suicide,absolutely absurd. I do not kuow what your Coroner could be thinking about to come to such a finding. All the facts in tbe case are against i- al of them. You see in the first place he was a man of a happy and cheerful disposition, who enjoyed life aoe oe He had been in the harness for a long time, and this was his first holiday. When I last saw him he was full of lans for our summer vacation together n the mountains. I had fixed my Official duties so as to be able to get away and go with him. he was no reason, whatever, why he should have dono anything of the sort..“ How were his finances?" . In excellent shape. He had lately finished our home in Washington, which cost $15,000, of which but $5,000 remained to be paid. He had four other good houses in Washington all paid for. and seven or eight hundred acres of laud in Kansas, stocked with several hnodred head of live stock. He was comfortably well off, and I know that he regarded his release from the Treasury Department as a genuine holiday.“ “How do you account for the alleged attempt to asphyxiate himseif in the hotel?” “I do not believe it, aod it does not stand to reason, It does not fit witr the other facts. He knew as much about the effect of gas as anybody, and ne would net nave tried to asphyxiate himseif in a room in which HE HAD OPENED THE WINDOWS, would he? Nor, after a failure to asphyxiate him- seif, would he have made a complete and careful toilet, evento putting on his gioves? No man who was , — to 1 — * — anything of that sort, an the very fact at he made such a careful toilet goes to show that any- — Foy suicide was 12 his mind. You see, he had told Mrs. Albers that would probably be out in time for breakfast, and I suppose that he got up early and dressed, intending to go out to Mr. Albers’ house. 2 say that the railing about the rotunda opening was too high to permit an accidental fall. “Tam glad you spoke of that, because it shows the sort of evidence upon which this verdict as Some of the witnesses swore that that railing was between three and four feet high. By actual measurement it is two feet and eleven inches high, by no means high enough to prevent an accident.” “What do you mean to do in the premises, Lieutenant?” “I shail see your Uoroner, Dr. Nidelet, to-day, and have a talk with him. I was up at his office this morning, but he was not in. I simply wish to im- press upon him the facts in the case as I understand them, and to tell him about the evidence in the case which I can produce. I wish him to reopen the inquest and hear this testimony, and 1 do not think that he can well refuse to do what I ask. Iam only hereto remove the stigma which has been put upon my father’s memory and 1 think that every right feeling man in the commu- nity will be at once with me. I don't think that the evidence that was heard JUSTIFIED ANY SUCH VERDICT anyhow. A man is supposed to be innocent of a crime until he has been proven guilty. In this case it is put upon me to prove my father's innocence, a task which I know I can accomplish without any difficulty.” “supposing that Nidelet refuses to re-open the inquest. What will you do?” “I do not know as yet, nor can 1 tel! you until after I have taken lezal advice. I certainly ho that there will be no trouble about 3 the inquiry, but trouble or no trouble. I shall fight the matter through until this stain is removed from my father’s name, I want to do my work quietly and reasouably, and I intend to do it. It is a most re- markable thing to me, and one which I yet fail to understand, how such a verdict could be found upon the evidence procured. It was simply mon- strous.” Reduced Kates to the Races.

POLITICAL STRIFE The Dissensions in the English Cabi- net Causing Much Anxiety. Lumsden's Reception by the Tories— The Zanzibar M&tter—Persians Ex- pelled From Merv—The Frontier Commission — Further Particulars of the Recent Earthquakes in the Vale of Cashmere—Foreign News. Special Cablegram to the Post-Dispatch. Lowpon, June 8.@-There is complete uncertainty about the outcome of the dissensions in the Cabi- net, but a decision will be reached this afternoon. At present it isnot believed that the Ministers mséives know what the result will be. The greatest anxiety is felt in Liberal circles through- out the country. Chamberlain and Dilke have re- ceived many letters from the Liberal associations urging them not to foros a rupture. Their resigna- tion, it is pointed out, would pessibly imperil the Liberal party at the coming election, but, on the other hand, it is dificult to see how they can coun- tenance Irish coercion after all that has passed. The division between the Whig and Radical parties has been grewing fot à long time, and a split now would be a complete separation. The Liberals express great confidence in Gladstone's ability to frame a compromise acceptable to both parties. Chamberiain’s absence from the state dinner in bonor of the Queen's birthday, on Saturday, is con- sidered to strengthen the rumor that he is about to resign. ; LUMSDEN'S RECEPTION. The reception to Sir Peter Lumsden, at the Char- ing Cross station Saturday, was purely a Tory demonstration, arranged by the Conservative Whigs, with no other object than to embarrass the Government. The Times and otser Conservative papers this morning Call it a remarkable, spoutane- ous and enthusiastic ovation. This is nonsense. From personal observation your correspondent can contradict it entirely. Many of the crowd present had no idea who was expected. If Lums- den thinks that the country is with him he will be greatly misied. If he had been on good terms with the Government not a Tory would have been there. His absence from Lady Granville’s state reception Saturday, is very significant. The reported death of the Ameer of Afghanistan is not credited by anybody, but much uneasiness is fel in view of the very serious consequences if the re port should prove true. It is stated that the report was telegraphed to St. Petersburg from Vienna, not from the Caucasus. This would throw much light on its origin and suggest that it originated for a political object. The Russo- Afghan Trouble. RIGOROUS RUSSIAN MEASURES. TEHERAN, June 8.—The Government of Herat bas sent men to fortify Bala-Murghab. Advices from Merv are to the effect that the Russians are taking the greatest care to prevent foreigners communi- cating with the Turcomans, and have expelled Persians who were supposed tobe corresponding with Afghans, THE ENGLISH FRONTIER COMMISSION. Lonpon, June 8.—The English Afghan frontier commission is moving tothe Upper Paropamisus Mountains, to avoid the heat, 4 RUSSIAN HINT. The Pall Mall Gazette contains an article which is apparently inspired by M. Lessar of the Russian section of the Afghan boundary commission. The article admits that the “settlement” of the matters in dispute with Russia is still unsigned, and at- tributes the present delay to the hair splitting or quibbling of Eari Granville. The article, in tones more of anger than firmness, warns the Earl not to carry his dilatory scheme toe far. It might be- come dangerous. DELAR'S DECLARATION. Mr. Alexander Deimar, formerly Chief of the Bureau of Statistics in the Treasury Department of the United States, in an interview which appears this evening in the Pall Mall Gazette, states that he is confident that Congress will repeal the act authorizing the coinage of the standard all ver dol- lar.

Judged by the number of his wife’s relations for whom he has found offices, he is a failure. CONGRESSMAN MORRISON is an exceptionally fortunate statesman. He says that he doubts whether there has been one of his constituents in Washington since the inauguration. Tur Republican is still engaged in publish- ing the proceedings at the State University Commencement last week. When it gets through it would do well to favor its readers with some of the comments of the independent press on the appearance of ELKINS as a Com- mencement orator. — Vu — mae THE labor interests of Missouri will rejoice to learn that under the new rule laid down by Labor Commissioner CARROLL D. WRIGHT, that eminent statistician HENRY A. NEWMAN will not be allowed to gather the statistics of Missouri. We do not know in what fields of misinformation Mr, Newman will display his unfitness, nor what reports he will muddle, but we tender a vague, blank sympathy to the region which will be exposed to his ravages, merely remarking that its loss is Missouri’s gain. THe city departments are now wrestling with the annual appropriations and struggling to make the money goround. There would be plenty of money if the city of St. Louis only had sense enough to secure equality of assess- ment with the rest of the State. The excess of taxation paid to the State Treasury by the city ‘would give us all the money we need for police, water-works, streets, and ell other improve- ments. But we go on year after year pushing our assessment up to the highest notch, and 3 draining our people of their resources to pay a the State money which it does not need. The 3 city government of St. Louis isa beautiful il- lustration of the truth that the world is gov- erned with a very small amount of wisdom — — — ä — — THE decision which cut down the balance due to the Government from the Union Pacific to $1,267,000, on the last annual balancing of accounts under the Thurman act, was severely criticised as too favorable to the company in defining and estimating net earnings and other points in dispute. We had been told that the management of Mr. Apams and the with- drawal ot Mr. GouLp were but a preface toa great change in the methods of the company, and there would be no more litigious caviling to postpone payments. Nobody doubted that the company would promptly pay that judg- ment. But, as usual, instead of paying, it took an appeal which cannot be heard until Octo- ber. Any adverse decision which one of those great corporations would feel bound to respect would be something new in the history of the country. We shall soon see if the change of Administration at Washington is going to make any impression in that quarter. | ey Mn. CLEVELAND finds it necessary to an- nounce again that he will remove no man from office without good and substantial rea- sons, and that no office-holder shall be removed before his term expires on trivial or trumped- up charges. This notice seems intended to 5 8 * have a direct application to the frivolous 3 q grounds on which the removal of the St. Louis eee : Postmaster is demanded. We find them stated in the Jefferson City Tribune, a paper which 2 carries at the head of its columns the names of * two of Senator CocKRELL’s office-holding brothers-in-law, to-wit: “Hznry W. Ewina, President, E. B. Ewine, Editor.” They tell us that Postmaster WELLS was appointed when be had not been known or heard of for twenty years es an office-seeker or office-holder, and * 5 that such a fossil, though he can hardly be et ie called an offensive partisan, should be removed 3 as a somnolent nonentity” to make room for some live man who has a keener relish office-holding. ; 4 : pa Tun first day of the race meeting needs only one word to sum up its result—failure, Yester- day's morning papers, with the traditional services of a practical theatrical hustler who knows how to get the people to come. 4 22 A SERIOUS CHARGE. We have listened in vain fora denial of the charge made recently by the Press of Louisi- ana, Mo., that Senator COCKRELL had secured a position for his relative, Mr. JETER W. WaLtsaLL, by co-operating with Congress man Hatcs and Congressman BLAxD to make Conxxiaus Vooasesrs collector in the Hanni- bal district on the éxpress condition that WaLTHALE should be appointed VOORHEES’ chief clerk. Mr. Voornexs’ own brother-in- law, Congressman Hutton, supported another candidate for that collectorship in the Missouri caucus, and the Press charges that HA ron se- cured the caucus nomination and the appoint- ment for VOORHEES only by capturing Senator COCKRELL’s: influence with the promise that VoorseEs should make WALTHALL his clerk. Voorners got the collectorship and made WaALTHALL his clerk. The Press says: The fact is Mr. Voorhees could have secured the cauctis indorsement in no other way. He was com- paratively unknown tothe people of the district, and all the support he received in the caucus, ex- cepting Mr. Hateh, his own Congressman, was secured to him by Mr. Hatch for valuable consider- ations, one of them being, as we have said, that Mr. Walthall shouid be appointed chief clerk. As Senator COCKRELL now has four broth- ers-in-law and three or four other relatives in appointive offices, the question how he does it is becoming interesting. If he does it by pool- forming and bargaining, asthe Louisiana Press has charged without eliciting a denial from any quarter, it is only fair that all the office- seekers in this State should know it, so that all may have something like an equal chance to “stand in” with the brother-in-law pool. On the other hand, if Senator CocERELL has had nothing to do with the pooling that has been so conspicuously advantageous to his relatives, and that already caste the shadow of a select circle of domineering bosses over the politics of this State, some authorized person should rise up to deny the allegation and rebuke the allegator. Capt. Jon W. STOKES, a defeated candi- date for the State Senate, who was recently appointed by Governor MARMADUKE to filla vacancy in the office of Recorder of Deeds in Holt County, has delivered an address in which he carefully blazes the way for a new de on the partof the Prohibition wing of the Missouri Democracy. Having no faith in State action alone as a means to render Prohibition effective, he would have the brethren quit bothering the Democrats for a Prohibition amendment in Missouri, and concentrate all their influence and efforts on getting the United States Government to abolish the liquor traffic as it abolished slavery. It is probably easier to disrupt and abolish the Prohibition organization with a few well-placed State and Federal appointments than to put a Prohibition girdle around the United States; and we have no doubt that such men as SWITZLER and STOKES will manage somehow to eliminate the liquor question from the next Senatorial election. THe New York Tablet reaches over the shoulders of Miss CLEVELAND to administer the following scolding to the President: The deepest regret we feel over these detestable utterances of Miss Elizabeth Cleveland is that they fully explain the animus of her brother in opposing the Freedom of W&rship bill. The family origin is lost in a race of bigots. Miss Cleveland is un- doubtedly honest in her convictions. Her brother shares her bigoted opinions. His bigotry is now shown to be in his blood and bone. Inferior to his sister in ali personal attributes, he is of the same stock. We hope Catholic fathers and brothers who have daughters and sisters in convents will recall with some compunction their application of trait- or” and “renegade” to men who, Catholic like themselves, refused te place indecent and bottom- less bigotry and crase ignorance like this in the White House. This looks as if the appointment of Brother PHELAN to be Consul at Halifax had been made in vain. — THE METBOPOLITAN PRESS. What the Editors of the New York Journals are Saying To-Day.

A very swell American concert is to take place at St. James’ Hall, London, on Tuesday next. The concert is to be given in aid of the relief fund for sick and wounded British soldiers, and is to be under the patronage of the Prince and Princess of Wales, the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh, Princess Beatrice, and half a dozen more members of the royal family. All tue artists and amateurs taking part in the concertare to be Americans. The Prince of Wales seems to,have made two requests: One is that the concert shall not begin before 9:30 p. m., and the other that all the American banjo players present in England shall be assembled upon this occasion. Among the. professional artists expected to take part in the concert are Patti. Valeria, Albani, Griswold, Van Zandt and Bella Stow. Among the sixty American patronesses of the entertainment the names of the following ladies (with their maiden names attached) are given by one of the London journals: “Mrs. Burno and Mrs. Burrowes (daughters of the late Commodore Magruder of the United States Navy), Mrs. G. Cavendish Bentick (Mies Livingstone of New York), Lady Randolph Churchill (Miss Je- rome of New York), Mrs. Howard Carlisle (Miss Murray of Baltimore), Mra.

Bigelow (wife of the late American Charge d'Affaires at Paris), Mra. Merritt (wife of the Consu)-General in London), Those Ewings. From the Lebanon Sentinel. Henry W. Ewing of Jefferson City has been re- appointed Clerk of the Supreme Court. The coun- try is now safe, the last maie member of the Ewing family bas been provided for. They are Senator Cockrell's brothers-in-law, andthe President has provided three with important offices, and the other two are enjoying appointive offices under the Gov- ernor of the State. From the Monroe Appeal. The Judges of the Supreme Court of Missouri ap- pointed a clerk last Monday, and as usual. a Ewing got it. It was hoped that, inasmuch as Ewing bas been clerk for twelve years, and all bisrelatives have been provided for, the Court would appoint our townsman, Joe M. Moss, but it seems that we reckoned without our host inthis. Mr. Ewing is doubtless a very nice gentleman, but if the people had to elect a clerk for the Supreme Court, neither his family, his brother-in-law or the duplicity and double-dealing of old Judge Henry could elect him. From the Richmond Democrat. Those of our country brethren who choose can join in the cry about Cockrell’s relations by mar- riage getting official positions, and may array themselves with the machine“ outfit of St. Louis who want to beat Cockrell for re-election, but the whole caboodle will be mercilessly snowed under when the time comes to name Cockrell’s successor. The Democracy—the rank and file—know a thing ortwoand will not be hoodwinked by any such senseless clamor as a few newspapers are making over a matter with which Cockrell has nothing to do, and for which no fair-minded man can biame him. National, Not Sectional. From the Boston Herald. When the Democratic Administration took posses- sion of the government, it found nearly one-third of the States of the Union virtually shut out from participation in the executive affairs of the Nation, although twenty years had elapsed since they were compelled to resume their places and assume their obligations as members of the Union. Believing the Union to be restored, with all that this implies, and having many of its ablest members in the Southern portion of the eountry (though not ma- jority of its voters), it was quite natural that the Administration should select a portion of the public servants from the South. Of course, the organs of the party that tried in vain to get “one more Presi- dentout of the bloody shirt" began and have kept up the cry that the South is in the saddle Criticism ‘| Bayard a little in St. Lois but he got away from ‘Pulitzer’s ownership and direction is far beyond hear to making an ass of a man, as well ag justly throwing him out of an office which he was otherwise well qualified to administer. Bayard’s Resting Place. From the Chicago Tribune y Thomas Francis Bayard is reported as already much improved, physically, by bis visit to St. Louis. It is a great thing for an overworked statesman to get away from the turmoil of Washington into some quiet place and rest. The natives bothered them occasionally and fairly renewed his youth, strolling about the business streets, feeling the soft, fresh grass once more beneath his feet, flicking the convenient pebble at the vagrant cow, as in his boyhood's days, and catching in his grateful nos- trils the perfume of the yellow dandelion and the laggard mayweed. It is told that at the corner of Fourth and Olive streets, where he chanced to be wandering with a friend Wednesday afteraoon, the Secretary insisted on taking off his shoes and run- ning about in the clover, and was only deterred finally by a suggestion of snakes, The visit has done Mr. Bayard a world of good, and he will re- turn to Washington with the ruddy hue of health upon his cheek again. He will advise other mem- bers of the Cabinet to duplicate his trip. St. Louis does rest a man so. Picayunish Millionaires. From the Sedalia Bazoo. New York may be a great city so far as business and enterprise are concerned, but her heart is too dead to throb. She has millionaires, and yet other millionaires who build great palace-like houses, filled with the costliest bric-a-brac brought from Europe, and yet when generous France presented us with a statue of Liberty, the only emblem which shouid find a responsive turill in free Amer- ica, the millionaires passed by on the other side, when it was suggested that they contribute toward a fitting resting-place for the goddess. Now, how- ever, that Kansas City, with her large-hearted, merchants, represented by the firm of Bullene, Moores & Emery, who have contributed $500 to the pedestal fund, St. Louis with her Post-Dispatca faithfully appealing to the people, and Chicago with her merchants daily contributing, and other Western cities following suit, the millionaires will hardly be missed. If it were not for the deface ment, however, it would be well to record the na mes of these picayunish millionaries directly on the pedestal, so that the whole world might point the finger of scorn at them. Elkins’ Address. Erem the Chicago News. Probably no alumni association in the world ex- cept that of the University of M could have conceived the idea of calling upon Mr. Stephen B. Elkins for an address on “The Industrial Question in the United States.“ What Mr. Elkins does not know on this subject would probably afford amuse- ment during a long winter evening's conversation. What he does know, if his address is any criterion, is hardly up to the Missouri idea of the instructive. Throughout it wasa curious mixture of thread- bare platitudes and attempts at rhetorical senten- tiousness. From the “pringfield Republican. e It is impossible to resist the feeling after reading this address that Mr. Elkins as a philanthropist and moral reformer has been subjected to a pain- ful amount of blushing unseen, and also to sup- press the hope that some of our colleges would in- vite Jay Gould to the platform. Won By Honest Methods. From the Clinton (N. J.) Democrat. The success of the New York Wok under Mr. anything in newspaper history, either in the “New World” or the Old. Fighting squarely asd straight ahead on every issue that has come before the public, its forward march has yet been so rapid and so sure that in the two years since it changed hands its daily circulation has raised from 15,000 to 150,000, and the demand upon it by advertisers has gained with the same wonderful rapidity. This success has been won honestly. It has been won by use of the best methods and men that metropolitan journalism had. It has been won by fidelity to the interests of the common public as against those of the favored and powerful few. It has been won by untiringly moving on, day after day, from one jouroalistic triumph to another. The American Democracy may well take pride in their leading press. It Has Steam Legs. From the Chillicothe Constitution. When it comes to recaicitration, we think it will be generally conceded that the St. Louis Posr- Dis- parc is a. kicker from away back. Its hinder hoofs are continuously in the air, a mede of life that is not only disquieting to the public, but which makes its friends apprehensive that such incessant violent action will do serious damage to its anatomy, Just now Senator Vest is the object of its wrath, its ex- citation being caused by the fact that the Senator's son has accepted a petty office tendered him by ex- President Arthur. As Mr. Vest evinces no disposi- tion whatever toabandon the honors and emolu- ments that have been thrust upon him, the readers of the Post-Dispatcn are awaiting the approach of the heated term with calm pleasure, trusting that a rising temperature will be accompanied by a cor- responding depression of its rear extremities, Hugo's Father. From the New York Sun. i The death of Victor Hugo recalls, among other things, a romantic episode which seems to be un- known here and forgotten even in France. It is the capture of the famous brigand, Fra Diavolo, by General Hugo, father of the great poet. The Gen- eral, who was a son of a carpenter, was born in Nancy, in Lorraine, and was quite a young officer atthe time of the capture of the famous brigand. He preserved the dagger of the brigand for many years. When amuseumin his native town was opened he made a present of the dagger to that institution, where it isstill tobe seen. Tue true name of Fra Diavolo was Michele Pezza. Contrary” to the common belief, he was never a monk. Vest’s Indisoretion. From the Farmington Times. Senator Vest is reported to have made use of another of his frequently ill-considered remarks in referring to the newspapers, adopting a phrase that is usually represented in print bya ———. The Senator should be more choice in his language, or the people will believe the opinion current in some quarters, that he trains with the bummer element of his State. Besides, he shouldn't be too disre- spectful to newspapers; he may need a good word from them before he is elected to the Senate again. It is not the part of discretion for even o great a favorite as Senator Vest to court the displeasure of the press. It has the advantage of him when is comes to a war of invectives. Virtee’s Reward.

For more than a week the window of Walt Whit- man's humble chamber in Mickle street, Camden, has displayed a portrait of Victor Hugo draped in crape. Tunwyson sent a wreath of flowers to lay on the coffin of Victor Hugo, but probably and properly kept his yew, yew, to plant on Premier Gladstone's grave. Dra. Frank H. Huron, the distinguished sur- geon, who was in attendance upon the late Presi- dent Garfie'd, is seriously ill in New York. An alarming symptom of his malady is a very distress- ing cough.

Tux Eari of Huntington, who, with his son, Lord Hastings, passed a good part of last winter in New York, and who was chairman of the Florida Land Purchase Company, died last week at his seat, Sharavozue, in King’s County, Ireland, and is suc- ceeded by his son, who is just 15. Mark Twain's wealth is stated thus: From the publication of his books, $200,000, the amount of the sum being due to the fact that he has always been practically his own publisher, and thereby made all the profit for himself; lecturing, $100,000; $425,000. That is about the sum he now possesses. No man ever looked into the crater of Cotopaxi, the king of volcanos, 3,000 feet above the snow line. Here is a chance for the gentlemen who have been disappointed in not being allowed to accompany any of the Arctic expeditions. Looking into the crater of Cotopaxi ought certainly be the next best thing to searching for the North Pole. De Now, the French painter of military scenes, recently deceased, carried his love of the realistic so far as to smash the windows of his stu- dio and riddle the walls with bullets. His models, most of them sojdiers who had made the campaign, were often nearly su!focated by being piled upon one another; the horses that came to him from the knacker's yard still alive were shot in the work- shop itself, so that they might fall naturally.

After quite a little breathing spell Macon launches forth into the ring again this week as follows: They had an “old-time” fight at Flushing Bay the other day, and Ed Plummer, a sporting re porter, was induced to act as stakehoider and referee. He wishes he had declined the honor (1) now, for he was made to feel that neither was very desirable. The contestants were Jim McGlynn and Johnny Lynch. The affair broke up in an ugly row,and Plummer, finding that he was beyond police protection for the time being, wanted to re- serve his decision, but Lynch's gang wouldn't have it that way, and they made him hand them over the stakes under pain of death if he refused. Ed, who is about five feet nothing high, and the father of a large and interesting family, was not prepared to shuffle off his mortal coil, and he handed over the “flimsy” without more ado. S0 I was told by one who was there, 1 am also told that his gold timing watch was “borrowed” during the excite- ment by some gentleman, who up to date has for- gotten to return it. Verily, the referee's lot is not a happy one. i I see that Charley Mitchell says that he intends going on the stage after his fight with Jack Burke, which is to take place in Chicago on Monday night, next. He inten becoming a comedian. ell! We donot speak (we barely nod) as we pass by, yet Ican't help saying that if Charley “hits” his ad- mirers as hard as I have seen him give it to Cleary and others, he willbe the greatest success on the boards. Those who have heard him, tell me that he has a very good voice, and that he can rattle off a jolly song with the best of them. He is a very intelli- nt young fellow, and I hope he may be successful h bis new venture. His next “go” with Burke will be the fifth, and I wish it was to be to a foish. They fought a draw in the old country with the raw uns.“ Then they Lad a giove fight here, in which each man's friends claimed that their pet hadthe bestof it. Then they were tohave fought in Madison Square Gar- den, but the police would not let them, and they „monkeyed“ with each other for three rounds (?) in order to give the spectators a show () for their gate money. Then they foughteight rounds in Chicago and it was another draw, This time I hope it may be toa finish.

The people do not want to see Sullivan spar. They want to see him fight, and they want to see bim in a contest with some one who has a reputa- tion. The go“ with Burke will be watched with interest. Billy O’Brien was over in Philadelphia the other day, and, feeling a little sore over the champion's talk about him, told the —— boys there that Sullivan was afraid to meet McCaffrey. He is mistaken. John L. is not afraid to meet any man on the footstool, and no one knows it better When under the influence of the tation ungers where he can in a hall or a race-course,and, mark my word for it, he will be there when time“ is called, be his oppo- nent who he may. I think very well of Dominick ‘MoCaffrey, both asa pugulist andasamaa. I believe he can whip any man on the list except Sullivan. He may able to do him, but I don't think he can—but if he feels that life is not worth living without baving a tussle with the big fellow I don't think he will have great difficult in arr - ing it. Mexico, sidte the opening of railroad, though somewhat remote, is readily accessible, and a stake. of $5,000 would prove very tempting to Sully in the present depleted state of his treasury. I must say, if they were to fight my sympathy would be with Dominick, though if I were to bet my ducats would back John L. Sullivan. ess is business, you know. The Browns Lose a Ten-Inuing Game. The Athletics gave the Browns another defeat in Saturday's game at Philadelphia, in the presence of 10,000 spectators. Both nines batted freely, the Athletics leading with fourteen hits and a total of seventeen bases. It was a most interesting game all through, the score being tied at the end of the ninth inning, when each nine had three runs to its credit. In the tenth inning hits by Stovey, Larkin, Hurck and Corey, the last named scoring on a wild throw, and a wild pitch, added four runs te the Athletics’ score.

Chicago had its first League game of the season on Saturday, when the home team defeated the Lucas nine by @ score of 9 to 2 The game drew 10,000 people to the park. Chicago played fault- lessly up to the ninth inning, when Caskins and Boyle were allowed to score on errors. One-armad Daily pitched for the Black Diamonds, and was so thoroughly rattled by Anson's team that he lost all control of the ball and sent seven to base on balls in the first six innings.

Providence, 6; Bos- ton, Sweeny to Pitch Ta-Day. Last night Chas. Sweeny. arrived in Chicago from New York and he will appear in to-day's game in the box for St. Louis at the Lake City. Sweeny has been under medical treatment for some time, and he says, while he cannot curve a bali, he is just as swift as he has been at any time. He thinks, however, in the course of a few days he will be entirely restored, and can again govern the course of the ball. Mr. Lucas left for Chicago last night. It is perhaps not known that the St. Louis Club attempted to play Rowe at Buffalo, but the latter club refused to play against him. This information comes from one who Knows. The Cleveland Club. Last Saturday the Cleveland Base-ball Club dis- banded and dropped out of the Western League. It is also stated the Toledos will follow suit shortly, which will probably cause, a breaking up of the association. The reason of the dis- banding of Cleveland and the probable breaking up of Toledo is that both clubs are already in the hole nearly $3,000 and the audiences have been scarcely more than a Corporal's guard, None of the Cleveland players have yet made arrange- ments, and it is understood the club will ‘not be transferred in a body, but each man will be left to shift for himself. American Association Meeting. Contrary to all expectations, at the American Association meeting held yesterday at the Girard House, in Philadelphia, the blacklisted players, particularly Rowe and Gleason, were not rein- stated. Representatives of all the clubs were present, including Simmons and Sharsig of the Athletics, Phillips of the Pittsburgs, Herancourt and Snyder of the Cincinnatis, Barnie Baltimores, Byrne and Doyle , Gordon and Gifford of the Mets, Hart of the uisvilles, Von der Ahe of St. Louis, and President McKnight. After considerable dis- cussion an amendment to rule 23, allowing pitchers to deliver the bali as they pleased, and wiping out all restrictions, was adopted. On motion of Byrne the foul bound rule was discarded by an unanimous vote. le 42 was amended so as to read; “That the choice of shall be wen to the taken at the Pittsbur of the matter is that are in favor of reinstating the men, but the Cinein- natis will vote for the reinstatement only on condi- tion that Mullane should also go in. The probab l- ity is that the whole lot will be taken in at a later meeting, and it would not be surprising if another blacklisted man, now in St. Louis, would also be benifited by yesterday's action. Amateur Athletes. The most successful athletic meeting ever heid in the West, that is, at least in St. Louis, was that which took place at the League Park yesterday afternoon. Not only was the attendance 100 per cent larger than on any similar previous occasion, but the im- proved personnel of the visitors to the grounds was @ most noticeable feature. The sport, too, was such that the most fastidious had no reason te complain, and in at least two events the performances exceeded the records, though, un- fortunateiy,in one of them no record can be given, as it was not made by a winner of first place. The weather was delightful and there was no delay in the programme, which kept the crowd in a good humor, and not until the completion of the last race was there any leave-taking. The most remarkable performances of the day were Murphy and Ford's exceedingly fast time in the 100-yard race; way Lytance’s wonderful vaulting, and an ‘s fast in the 220-yard hurd handicap. the first of these the best time on record for a hun- dred yards is 10 1-5, made by Ford. In yesterday's final heat the time by three watches was ten so- onds for Murphy, but Ford was only six inches behind him, consequently his time is ctically — same. aes * A = agg St. — cap, and particu n Joe Murphy, who won the race, notwithstanding that Ford ran faster than ever be- fore.

Joe Hornung is greatly missed by the Bostens. Louisville is skirmishing the country for more catchers. Fogarty is the general utility man of the Phil delphians. John Davis is soon to be released by Boston. He will probably join the Athletics. Important, if true: Tom Deasley and Mrs. Tom Deasiey have gone — to keeping house. One hundred and thirty-eight games were re- ported io last Sunday’s issue of a Boston paper. The St. Louis Browns’ lead inthe A. A. race is — in Boston culture as “magnificently . The new reportorial base-ball talent has invented „outed.“ ‘ Jones was “outed” at first on Brown's assists.“ The home- run drivers— Gleason, O'Neill, Latham and Comiskey—are excelling themselves in their slugging. The defeat of the Browns at Baltimore Wednes- day was the first game they have lost to an Eastern club this season. Denny Sullivan was fined $50 by the Louisville club for assaulting the Louisville Commercial reporter recently. Daily, Ferguson and Olarkson, all practically young pitchers, are doing the best work of any pitchers in the gue. Cochran's shoulder is very sore. Clarkson is pitching very effectively, while Frank Flint is doing ali the catching. ‘Bh Cincinnati's boss pitcher, has returned home. ence the reason w the Baltimores whitewashed them yesterday. . The Philadelphia papers claim that the trouble with the Athletics on their Western trip was too much beer and too little management. Dave Rowe appeared on the player's bench in Buf- kale during their games there, daily expecting the magic word “reinstated” to be flasded acioss the wires. Eddie Fusselbach has been released by the Athletics. Quinton succeeds him. Fusseibach was released at his own request, as his hands are out of condition. „Biondie“ Valentine, the umpire, will, it is said, give up umpiring and again enter the diamond as pitcher. This time for the Athletics. He formerly pitched for Columbus. Bushong seems to be a Mascotte. After the Browns .bad won eighteen straight games with him beeind the bat, Robinsoa was put in Tuesday last and they lost the game. The Mets defeated the Pittsburgs two games on Decoration Day. Thirteen thousand people were — For several years past the Pitisburgs ve't drawn flies on this day. While in Buffalo, Shaffer was greeted with his old-time soliloquy, Shalk. you're no good. an ex- ression he upbraids himself with after a poor play. St. Louis it is: “Shaft, old man, you're a daisy.” Caylor’s apology for the continued defeats of his club is that Philadelphia is a Jouan town, anyway, and his club couid never wiu there; that Balu more is the cesspool for “rotven umpiring,” etc., and his pets could never receive a square deal. Mike Walsh is meeting with a siege of spon- taneous indignation on his umpiring trip, which has led a Louisville friend of his to offer sympathy in a musical effort: “The lifeof an umpire is not a happy one—bappy one.“ Me will probably return to —— to drown his sorrow. « During the month of May the following record was made by the St. Louis Maroons againstt their opponents: » * .

Some Interesting Details of the Order to Which Ah Lung, the San Fran- cisco Thug, Belongs—Agents of the Six Societies Who Do as They Are Ordered Under Pain of Death. “The Chinese highbinders are not professional assassins, who can be hired by any one who is will- ing to pay for their services,” said Dr. H. F. James to a Post-Dispatca reporter, in the rotunda of the Southern Hotel, this morning. “I know that such is the general impression about them, and that the reading public, who have been following the course of the inquest over the body of Johnson, are of the opinion that this man Ah Lung, who arrived here last Saturday from San Francisco, in undertaking the job of getting the objectionable Johnson out of the way, was actua solely by pecuniary considerations. In my opinion such was not the case at all. While Ah Lung undoubt- edly had one ee upon the $1,200 offered by Joe Gon, there was another and 4 stronger power urg- ing him on, whose dictates he could not disobey. 1 f one of the six which he 18 y he cannot sever by his own will or at his own pleasure. In order to understand what I say you must unravel and cast aside everything wh ou have heard about Chinese secret societies and the exagzerated impres- sions which you have doubtless received about their race Free . Walle the Chinese, like auy other people, may fostera number of secret societies among themselves, yet their influence is nothing as compared to e arbitrary —.— exerc by tne six companies. ery Okinaman woo comes to this country is brought over by one of the six companies. His passage is paid and employment procured for him after his arrival in tne m return for which he is bound by a cast iron oath and Chinese law to work as tue slave of the com until he bas paid back tue money expended on him. The companies charge outrageously high prices for everything the poor peon, for he is nothing else, receives from the t and it frequently requires of ard work to, clear debt. in order to protect themselves the six companies have a set of laws unto them- seives which is dealt out and interpr by courts controlied by them directly. You have doubtiess noticed that a Ubinaman seldom appears in one of our courts 10 au action against a brother Chinaman HE TAKES HIS CASE, rather, before the court of the company which brought him over and submits it for settlement. in the entire country I presume there are scarcely two or three hundred Cninese who are not subject to the orders of these The and diswnet organizations, frequently ciash and there follows a terrible dis- turbance between their followers which is often accompanied by vloudshed.”’ “Your opening remark referred more particularly to bigabinders, Doctor?” them, es, I know. I was just coming to that. Of course every court must be backed up by executive power to evtorce its decrees, and tbe courts of the six companies are no exception to therule. The — —— as the Americans term them, are nothing wore nor less than thifinstruments through which tue order of these Courts are executed. For instance, the Congressiona Committee, which went out into California several years ago to inquire into the Chinese question, found out, among other things, thatina number of cases Chinamen had been killed by the order of one of the courts of the S&K companies, because they had accepted employ- ment in a certain laundry which had refused to pay its tribute to the company. A number of notices were also brougut to light and translated. in which a company threatened Chinamen with death if certain ofaers were not carried out. These notices had been distributed among the Chinese quarters in San Francisco, and were read and by ALL OF THE CELESTIALS, : who knew full weli that the threats would be exe cu As 1 understand it, when a company court decides that it is for the best interests of the company to kill one of their slaves, it selects a man to do the deed from among its force of high- binders, and as a rule it happens that the murderer has no personal teeling in the matter whateyer. taken the job u highly probable taat money alone did not cause him to leave California. In connection with this case it may not be irrelevant to mention that the Chinese Government is very jealous of its authority over its subjects, and that any infraction of inter- national la w is ciosely investigated and followed up.

THE MYSTERY EXPLAINED. Miss Emma Kercher, Missing for Many Days, Found Dead. Mriwavugss, Wis., June 8 — The mystery con- nected with the disappearance of Miss Emma Kercher, 19 years old, on May 26 last, was cleared up yesterday by the discovery of her body in a very decomposed condition. Nothing would indi- cate that her death was due to violence. She wasa talented music teacher at New York, while her mother lived here, Last April the latter fell sick and the daughter was summoned. and when she arrived after some delay, she found her mother dead and buried. It is now conceded that this so and that in one of these fits wandered off and com- mitted suicide. Demelished Buildings.

THE CREMATORY. _ Design of the New Receptacle for the Dead in St. Louis. 3 The above design has been submitted to the di- | rectors of the new crematory association, who propose to erect a crematory in St. Louis. Thisis the second effort of the kind here, and the move- nent appears to have taken a strong bid among a number of the intelli- pent class of citizens, whose names sre found on the subscription lists. There are al- ready two small crematories established in Pennsyl- unia. but it remains for St. Louis to present the fst crematory worthy of the name in this coun- wy. Societies are forming in New York and Oin- annati for the same purpose and there is little doubt that the cremationists are gaining ground in the United States. 2 The subscription list which was opened a short time since at the Liederkranz Hallshows $9,000 already subscribed, and the German element is being rapidly reinforced by the Amerisan element. The gentlemen who organized the society talk enthusiastically about handsome dividends, and believe that crematory stock will be quoted as high as gas stock in this city when the crematory is successfully in operation, and that not many years will elapse ere incineration will be the popular method of disposing of the dead here. In the plans submitted to the St. Louis Crematory Association the design of the European es- tablishmeats has been followed. The mortuary chamber, surmounted by the dome, will be SILVES COINAGE. General Warner’s Bill as a Compromise Between the Silver and Gold Men. By Telegranh to the Post-Dispatoh. WASHINGTON, D. C., June 8.—There is considerable discussion here and in New York among bankers, in regard to the reported compromise which is to be made between the silver men and the gold stand- ird advocates. New York, of course, takes a de- cided stand with President Cleveland against the further coinage of silver, but they would be no doubt, willing to compromise on almost any basis to stop the further coinage of the silver dol- sr. Congressman Warner states that the proposed wution of the problem isa plan by which the silver dollar shall be suspeuded and certifi- cates issued on deposits with the Government, of silver bullion brought todo required finess, and several bankers express themselves as favorable to this plan. President bald win of the Fourth National Bank of New Lors thinks that the compromise would be at least a step in the right direction. James B. Colegate, a silver man, says that in 1 pa ticulars the pro- ‘posed plan is commendable, but he wants each bar of the builion stamped with its value in silver doliars. It is said, however. that if Secretary Man- ping desires to effect a compromise with the silver men, he will be unable to do it. The two sides are too fer apart to be brought together. Senator Vest said. in this city the other day, toat the sliver men know their rights and in- tend to protect them, notwithstanding the report that the effort to demonetize silver is growing in srength, aud that the siiver men will be compelled wsubmit toa compromise, e says silver has ver been treated fairly since its discovery in large amounts in the far west. He gives the banks wtice that the silver bill will never be repealed. tis reported that Hon. Sam’! J. Tilden, Sec- mary of the Treasury Manning. and Hon. A. J. Varner have had several conferences within the past three months, at which the silver question was the principal topie discussed. A genleman who claims to know what passed at the conference is reported as saying: Gen. Warner submitted the details, or rather made a general suggestion of a compromise bill by which the coinage will be sus- pended, but providing that silver certificates shall continue to be issued for silver bullion of the Stan- dard finess required for quinage at its market or quoted value on the date of deposit.

Officials Returning from Meetings—The Trans-Continental Pool—Notes. Ex-Gov. J. C. Brown, general solicitor of the Gould System, was in his office this morning, after an absence of six or seven weeks. He, it will be remembered, was very seriously injured in the collision on the Iron Mountain between the Monte- sano train and the special containing the directors of the Texas and Pacific.

But afew days ago a discharged employe discovered a ton of dynamite under Mr. Cumming's car at Marshall and reported the tact to uarters at once, It is thought tbe discharged empioye simply tried this method to procure a re-instatement.

If he has discovered any cutting it is not to be found out at this end of the line. . general passenger agent of the Keokuk and Northeastern, is in the city. Geo, Olds, general traffic manager of the Gould Lines, returned this morning from Denver, where he has been in atiendance at the Trans-Continentai Pool meeting. He spent a long time in Col H. M. Hoxie's office talking over the result of the meét- ing and the awarding of percentages. Of course Mr. Olds would not express bimself on the question of awards, but it is understood there was some dis- sension expressed on the new awards and one or two unes may withdraw from the pool.

Henry Guyot, the festive shoe cutter who stole a bobtail street car early Sunday morning at the corner of Broadway and Market streets, was fined $50 and costs by Judge Cady this morning. It was urged in extenuation of his offense that when a passenger got on board of the car, Guyot took the trouble to collect fare and actually thanked the passenger; also that he didn’t swear back at the passenger when ne complained of being let off five blocks beyond his destination. These evidences of a good heart had a visible effect upon Judge Cady who, however, declared that he would be obiiged to enforce the law even if the defendant had tried to introduce much-needed reforms into the system of bobtail transportation, and imposed tue penalty above mentioned, which was promptly paid.

Another Chapter in the Big Deal Whichthe Wiggins Ferry Company is Making—How the New Arrange- ment Will Affect the Bridge—The Details of the Transfer. It was announced in the Post-Disparon some days since that the Madison Ferry Company was in process of leasing ita car transfers to the Wiggins Ferry Company. At that time both Mr. Sam C. Clubb,the president of the Wiggins Ferry Company, and Mr. W. A. Hargadine, the principal stockholder in the Madison Ferry Company, declined to make any statement about the negotiation in progress. They admitted the fact that a transfer was afoot, but claimed thas it was a matter between the tro and of interest to nobody else. This morning, however, a Posr- Dispatog reporter met a broker who was con- cerned in the transfer of the , and from 1 deal ot additional information was gathe “It isa * “a lease pure and simple, and a lease w the Madison Ferry people have been very anxious to . „What are its terms!“ “Simply the ment various ou bonds 8 You see the the adison Ferry cerned in two or terprises. but closely connected. en They pow snes the Lilinois and St. Louis -" fact that tl and er of the interest on the of the Ferry tlemen who own mpany are con- three different Belt Railway.

There is still a difference about this, but it will not stand in the way of the completion of the negotia- tion.

By far the tenderest and most lasting of Vi Hugo’s friendships for women ended in the death of Mme. Drouat a few days ago. She was an actress fifty-three years ago, when Hugo first met her. Tall, o superb figure, and lively intellect, she inspired in the poet a passion which only K with time and change of fortune. This friendship was r than the t's will; it outlived his and alleviated its disappointments; it followed him into exile, and thrived in his darkest years. Strangers who called at the Rue de Clichy were expected to ignore the tow fore them she was treated by Victor Hugo with reverential gallantry. She had none of the ways of an old stage beauty, thouch in her youth she had been a paragon of plastic loveli- ness, and had, to boot, grace, archness, sensibil- ity, and a bright wit. Her ways showed breeding and rectitude. Her musical talents were brilliant, and she hada delicious voice, She had been left an orphan atan early and her paternal uncle, a famous general of the republic, thought, to keep the beauty out of danger, she should enter a convent for life. On the eye of day on which she was to have as sumed the veil with other postulants, Mgr. Quelin visited tHe — e congratulated the Breton girl on the strength of her vocation, She felt that if she did not that moment act with decision SHE WOULD BE BURIED ALIVE FOREVER. Mustering up all her courage she replied: “The truth is, I have no call whatever, and do not. want to be a nun.” The Archbishop had been told just to the contrary, and in a severe tone asked the Superior why he had been kept in the dark. She said with more zeal than dis- cretion, ‘“The fact is, this young girl is an or- phan and penniless. Her relatives have no choice for her between heaven and predition. They elect for God, and she eleets fos Satin.” La Belle Juliette, as she was then called, thus escaped the convent, and went tothe Vaude- ville, and afterward tothe Porte St. Martin, and here she met her fate, the young poet, She was given the part of the Princess Ne- roni in Lucretia Borgia,” and her superb auty fascinated Victor Huge, who, though young, was even then famous. Juliette was proud to see him at her feet. He became jeal- ous of the spectators who acclaimed her. Juliette felt remorse for having trifled with him, and sought employment at Brussels and St. Petersburg. The poet was beside himself with grief on hearing of her plans for the future. He was glorious, but not rich, and what right, he asked himself, had he to stand in her way? The tempest that raged in his mind is described in the chapter about Marius in Les Miserables.“ i HIS LYRE GOT OUT OF TUNE. Literary work was neglected. The idea that a wife and four children entirely depended up- on his exertions. crushed him. The actress, meeting him by chance, was horror-stricken by the change that had taken place in him, She was a woman of rapid decision, and then and there to quit the theater, to devote herself to the poet—and, indeed, as it appeared to her, to poverty also; to bear the reproaches which she w would be hea upon her; to resent n which those who would have a right to bate might say against her, and to have no ambition except Victor Hugo's wel- fare. He wanted rin! Why not, she asked, employ her as one? for the work he required to be done would be enough for all her wants, and could be accepted with dignity. Juliette went to live in the Place Royale, und there became Mme. Drouet. though she exercised an unquestioned em- pire over the poet, she never misused it, nor was an rof his household ever heard to complain of her presence there. She was associated with some of his brightest literary triumphs in such a manner that he must have considered her almost an inseparable part of himself. The marvelous description of the conveut at Petit-Picpus, in the Miserables,“ taken almost wo for word from Mme, Drouet’s lips. She was inthe Picpus convent when a girl. Many other scenes in Les Miser- ables” and in one or two of Hugo's poems are due to the inspirations and suggestions of Mme. Drouet. Mme. Drouet is buried. in the cemetery at St. Maude, where lies the only child she ever had—a daughter. A Boss’ Mistake. From the Detroit Free Press. There is a saloon out on Grand River avenue which has long been the headquarters of the Boss from Bossville.

He was a fighter and a hard hitter, and most of his victims came to their senses to softly inquire if the cyclone had left anybody else alive. A pair of events happened the other day to astonish the Boss and his cohorts, He was lay- ing down the lawn on evolution, and just a ing for somebody to dispute him, when a stranger with venerable grey locks and vener- able white whiskers came in for a glass of beer. He listened to the Boss for a moment, and then, to the horror of the select circle present, he boldly challenged the correctness of. each and all the assertions. “Stranger!” said the Boss as he rose up with an electric light of 400-candle power in each eye, ‘‘d’ye mean to dispute me!” Sartin I do!” ‘Actually dispute?” I won't jam you through the floor, I won't!” said the Boss in a voice which wobbled with ou!” interrupted the old man.

Logan's Loyalty to the Main States- man—The Indifference of the Nation- al Committee for the Vice-Presiden- Late Campaign. Spectal Correspondence of the Post-Dispatch. * Wasuinetox, June 5.—There has been a good deal of gossip during the last few weeks about the personal relations between Blaine and Logan. An intimate friend of General Logan's, gave me some facts about the relations of these two gentlemen, which are probably as near official as they can be, although not revised by the principals themselves. General Logan did have an understanding with Mr. Blaine a year ago last winter. This understanding was a friendly one. There was no formal alliance; the first evidence of this was shown by the fact that Mrs. Blaine and Mrs. Logan were often seen in public together. As they cordially disliked each other, their companionship could only be explained on political grounds. Mr. Blaine is not in the habit of calling on his political rivals, yet he was fre- quently at General Logan's rooms during the win- ter,and the two had the best of possible under- standings. Mr. Blaine, very frankly said that he did not expect to be nominated, and, in fact, had no desire to be. He preferred General Logan to any of the other Republican candidates and pledged to the Hlinois Senator his friendly support. Logan is a very loyal friend. A number of people tried to shake his confidence in Blaine before the conven- tion met. They said to him that Blaine was only seeking to use him and would really do him no good. Logan was very stubborn, however, in his friendship, and stood loyally up to his partof the agreement. Blaine was afraid that Arthur would be renominated, and to defeat him he bent every energy. He was equally opposed to Senator Edmunds. To beat these two men it was necessary to havea good ally. General Logan proved to be that ally. The Illinois Senator never knew how near he came to being nominated him- ‘self. When the Mugwumps found tha: their oppo- sition to Blaine and Arthur was apt to result in the nomination of either one of the two, they began to look about for a third man who could draw away from Blaine and Arthur. They tried General Sher- man. Herefused to permit his name to be used. They then decided among themselves to try General Logan; but before they got to it Logan, under statements made to him by the Blaine managers that Arthur's nomination was in imminent danger, broke his Ulinois delegation for Blaine. * * Every one knows how unwilling Logan was to go on to tho ticket for second place. He had lived long enough in Washington to know how little there was in the position of Vice-President. He was then a United States Senator, and by attending strictly to his own personal matters, feit confident that he could elect'a Republican Legisiature and be re- turned tothe Senate without any trouvie. This friend of General Logan's says that the latter went on to the ticket only atthe very last moment, his own judgment, and in the of the protest of bis wife who has been his confidant and best adviser for years, His dissatisfaction at being forced upon a ticket which he thought was aimost certain to be defeated made him very unhappy. But when he learned how near he came to being nominated himself at Chica co. and how he might have been if he had had more correct information, this dissatisfaction became greatiy increased. It looked for a time as if the General would hold back and do nothing. Thén came his invitation to visit Mr. Biaime at Augusta. After kis conference there the General made up his mind to make the best of the forlorn hope. He charged into the campaign with the very recklessness of despair hoping to win success tor his party. He must have thought the cause a desperate one or he would not have gone into the campaign as he did. He trav- eled neariy thirty thousand miles during the can- vass and made personal appeals morning, noon and night in the closely contested States. Tureugh bis strength with tne soldier element, he doubtless made up many a gap in the ranks of the disaifected Repubiicans. 2 * The National Committee always neglected Gen. Logan. It was enough for him that he was per- mitted to work for the When Mr. Blaine went out rsonally canv ass his managers avoided and cold-shouldered Logan. They came together only twice during the canvass, and it was then in the face of the protest of the na- tional managers. When Biaine arrived in Cincin- nati there was every sort of attention paid to him, and every demonstration made that couid flatter his self-esteem. Logan, who had been doing ali of the work in Ohio up to that time, arrived the next morning. only to find that there was not a single individual at the depot to meet him, and that the Republican Committee had not had the thought- fulness to send him acarriage. He rode up in the street car to the hotel with Mrs. Logan. The amount of military language that he used that morning, in berating the committee, was something quite wonderful. Gen. Logan never char Mr. Biaine with being personally responsible for this, but he did charge it home directsy to Mr. Blame's * managers. 2 „ This slight to Gen. Logan continued throughout the canvass. The New Lork managers seemed to regard him as a good enough man to help the ticket through, but beyond that taey had no use for niin. Gea. Logan became se bitter towards the last that his friends say that be was really pleased at the way the election turned out. He was in such a black state of rage over the blunders of the Blaine managers in New York that it was painful to come in contact with him. He did not regain his good nawre until the cam- paign was over. Ihose who wondered at his stolid- ity and calmness after the campaign was over would not, if they had known taat he was secretly gratitied. After tue campsiyn was finished theBla ins made no attempt to maintain friendly rviations with the Logans Logan was a Senator aud was entitled to receive the first call, as Mr. Blaine was simply a private citizen. The Blaines, however, did not call. Mrs, Logan persuaded the Senator to waive etiquette and go down and make a formal cail upon .ne Blaines, 80 as to say that there was no break between them on account of the result. They did cali, but tue visit was avery lormal and cere- monious one. Gen. Logan's friends said that it was only too evident at the time that the Blaines had no real liking for the Lozans and were not specially glad to see them. Mrs. Blame returned tne but Mr. Blaine has never been in the Logan quar- ters since the election. 0 7 2 0 N Now that Gen. has won in his long fight for the Senate, he oecupies a very independent po- sition. He does not intend to be the cat’s paw of any faction in toe future, and would not under any circumstances Consent to take the second place with anybody, and least of all witn Mr. Blaine. He is a candidate for the first piace. In the event of his failing to secure that be will be only too glad to ro- main in the Senate. Mr. Cleveland will find him one of his most staunch supporters in conirming his nominations, Toe Generai does not beiieve in making a small war upon the President upon any mere narrow issue of patronage.* T.

A Jealous Woman Creates a Sunday Sen- sation at Belleville, Some excitement was caused at Belleville yester- day by a street tragedy with sensational features. About 9 o’clock inthe evening George Baker, a Cairo Short Line engineer, was seen in the vicinity of Spring and 8. Firth streets talking with Mrs. Nellie Alerecht. Tkey were apparently on the best of terms, and there was nothing in their speech or demeanor to attract the particular attention of the persons passing to and fro on the sidewalk. On the centrary, they seemed to be conversing quietiy. A few minutes later there was a sharp report, Baker placed his hand to his head and fell back ward to. the sidewalk, while the woman, in a cool, collected way turued a revolver over in her hand and gazing for a moment at Baker's prostrate form placed the weapon in ber side dress-pocket and walked away. Inthe center of the block she met a boarding- house keeper, who rented a room to Baker, and said to Lim: I have killed your man Baker, and ou will flad him over there on the side walx. She as arrested at her residence near the Saert Line . later in the evening, by Sueriff Ropiequet and Captain Kaising. Repeated‘ efforts failed to elicit any explanation from the woman of the cause of her attempt on Baker's life. Mra Al- recht has been married twice, and has five small c.ildren by ber present husband. For years there have been damaging reports im circulation con- cerning her alleged relations with various parties. It was noticed that a warm intimacy existed be- tween the woman and her victim, and the theory of jealousy obtains in Belleville as the cause of the shooting. No revolver was found upon her when searched at the jail. octor West, who was summoned to attend Baker, pronounced it a fatal case. The bullet had entered the left temple, passed through the head and lodged near the right ear under tne scaip. He was about 45;,years old, unmarried, and has relatives at Bloomington, il He was considered one of the best engineers on the line. Mrs. Albrecht's jeal- ousy, itis thought, was used by reports to the effect that he was someWhat atientive to one or two young women in the neighborhood. That's Conductor Frost, of the Mt.

The final chapter which brought the Maxwell muddle to a happy termination was contained in a telegram sent Saturday by Officer Badger to Vice- President Blair. On Friday, Mr. Blair telegraphed, through the Bank of Commerce, the $1,000 ad- vanced by the City Treasury for the expenses of the Police Board's guard to officer Badger. He has re- ceived the following reply: San Francisoo, June 6, 1885. Hon. James L. Blair: Money received; sail at 2 p. m. Grorcre W. Bapeorr.

Chesbrough, an Eccen- tric Englishman, Formerly of Fort Washington, Suing for a Vast Es- tate. +" By Telegraph to the Post-Dispatch. New Yor, June 8.—Litigation is lixely to be re- newed shortly over the property left by the late Blasius M. Chesbrough, an eccentric Englishman ington, and was fameus in the town up to the time of his death, in 1866, as Count“ Chesbrough. He bought the title in Italy. He and his two brothers inherited from their father, Andronicus, and their mother, Margaret, real estate in the lower part of the city which is now valued at several millions of dollars. He lived alone in princely style at his Fort Washington home after he got the title, and traveled about with a richly<jressed valet. At one time he advertised his own funeral in the daily pa- pers, and then waited at home to greet those who called to attend the services.

One of the Count's brothers died after the marriage, and when the Count him- seif died, his only surviving brother, Charies A. — — yp ay living at North Port, came into possession o Count's pro 9 that the woman who ha? lived with dle cope his wife, and that she had died without lawful is- sue. r of the laintiff, Obaries Chesb h, and down-town bus- pro valued at $2,000,000 was turned over to him. immediately after the case was decided against her, the woman and child both left the city, and all trace ot them was lost for yearn. Y was renewed in her case by the re that a New York lawyer,who had been collecting evidence for a new trial of the case, in order to establish the wom- an's claim to a dower interest, had discovered the woman living at the Woman's Mission Home in Nashville, UNDER THE NAME OF NELLIE JACKSON.

C h, the Count’s sur- viv brother. “I don’t know whether Nellie Jackson really was the ‘Count's’ wife,” Mrs. Cheshrough said last night, but I am sure that the child that she car- ried away with her was the Count's daughter.
