LATESTEDITION, MINISTER PHELPS 8 The Reception of the American Rep- resentative by London Scoiety. -_ Mr. Phelps’ Appearance in Public— The State Concert in Buckingham Palace—How the Prince and Prin- cess of Wales Greeted the Minister. By Telegraph to the Post-Dispatch. New Yorks, June 22.—The following correspond- ence is published in a morning paper: Lonpon, June 8.—Mr. Pheips has now been three weeks in London, and has had some opportunity of seeing what his new position is like. London, on its part, has seen something of the man about whom curiosity was as keen as curiosity about anybody can be in this, asociety hardened toevery sensa- tion. The place Mr, Phelps fillsis one in which first impressions go for much; it may almost be said they are decisive. Inthe world he now enters people are too busy to spare time for second thoughts. For better or worse,a new Minister has to present himself before an instantaneous camera; the photograph, which is the work of & second, is permanent, His actual acquaintance with London society is even more brief than it seems, because the Whitsun holidays have to be deducted from three weeks. A great part.of London has been out of town for ten days or a fortnight, most houses have been closed and social events were few during the parliament- ary recess. ButI will ventureto guess that the number of peopie who, before they quitted London, launched invitations at the new Americaa Min- ister was pretty large. He and Mrs. Phelps will hardly be allowed to spend a _— evening at home between this and the end of July. ‘They toox possession of Mr. Lowell's house in Lowndes Square on Monday. It is, — without precedent that two successive Ame Ministers should occupy the same residence. It will presently go near to be thought that the republic is able to afford its rep- resentative A PERMANENT HOME in London, which, as we ali know, it cannot, During these three weeks Mr. Pheips has made two appear- ances which may be calied public. He was present with Mrs. Phelps. last Tues- day at the state concert in Buckingham paiace. This is one of the few remaining ceremo- nials, drawing-rooms,and levees excepted, by which English royaity now reminds the Enghsh world of its ornamental character. The state concert is given by command of the Queen. The Queen her- self is transacting the business of her realm in that convenient spot just 600 miles from London, know as Balmural. Her Majesty was represented on this occasion at Buckingham Palace, by the Prince and Princess of Wales. But this is to siate the matter too simply. 1am sure you will be grateful to me if I quote the stately phraseology in which the event is Officially announced. Taeir Royal High- nesses, the Prince and Princess of Waies, accom- anied by their Royai Highnesses Prince Albert ictor, Prince George and Princess Louise of Waies, attended by Lady Suffield, Miss Knoilis, the Mar- quis of Hamiiton, Lord Colviile of Culross, Mr. A. bP. Ceckerell and Col, P. Clarke, and escorted by a détacument of the Roya! Horse Guards, arrived at the garden entrance of the palace from Marlbor- ough House. Then follows a list of other royal highvessi@eedhetakand puke of Mecklenburg- Strelitz, : rince ati ncess ristian, of Schies- wig-Hoistein, His Royal Highness the Duke and Her Imperial and Royal (observe the duplication) Highuess, the Duchess of Edingburgh, then the Duke of Cambriuge, tren His Serene Highness Prince Edward, of Saxe-Weimar, and His Serene Highness the Prince of Leiningen, tities which serve once and again to remind the English how very German, to this day, is this Euglisn rgigning family. Theroyal body guard of the yeomen of the ai was On duty ip tue interior of the palace, while A GUARD OF HONOR of the Coldstream Guards was mounted in the uadranele of the palace. Then the Prince and rincess of Waies, accompanied by the Grand Dukeof Mecklenburg-Strelitz and'‘the members of the royai famuly, conducted by the Earl of Kenmare, K. P, (Lord Chamberiain), and attended by the great officers of state, the mistress of the robes and the ladies and gentiemen of toe huusehold in waiting, entered the salon at a quarter befvore ll olesk when the concert immediately commenced. Besides all these glittering royalties and their suites, were present nearly ail the ambassadors and ministers now accredited to the Court of St, James; the three Archbishops, Dukes and Duchesses and peers of lesser degree; Right Honorables and MHonorables, Honorabie ladies and piain Messieurs and Mesdames, admirals of the fleet, fleid marshals, generals, colonels, majors, aud even a few captains. The United States Minister figured iast in the long lisc of min- isters which foliows the short list of ambassadors, Mrs. E. J, Pheips with him. It was their first appearance at avy such functions; it was aiso Mr. Lowell's iast. I hear from a sure witness there resent that the reception given to Mr. and Mrs. *~helps was ef a friendly kind. The Princes and Princesses, said my friend, showed themselves eager to greet the new American Minister and bis wile, and there was much skaking of hands and such taik as the circumstances permitted. Civility and even cordiality are the order of tne day. A FATAL RIVALRY. The Murder of Hardie, the Young Ameri- can, by a Mexican Colonel. By Telegraph to the Post-Dispatch. New Yors, June 22.—The mother of Robt. Hardie, the young American who was killed in the city of Mexico by Col.O’Mara of the Mexican army, June 1, has just received a number of letters from American residents of the Mexican Capital Mrs. Hardie is a widow and resides with her daughter at No. 15 Abingdor Square, The latest particulars received are to the effect that Col. O’Mara has been released pending a decision whether he shall be tried by a military or a civiltribunal. It is believed by the Americans in the city of Mexico that the Col onel, who is a member of an influential and wonkthy family, will be allowed to escape punishment, an in consequence they are highly indignant. They have appealed to the United States Government to take action in the matter. The Secretary of State has written to Mrs. Hardie, saying that he will do everything in his power. Congressman Randail, who is an old friend of the Hardies, has also inter- ested himself and has appea'ed to Minister Jackson, urging that the murderer be punished. E.

How an Immense Leg Jam on the Kenne- ag bec River was Started, By Telegraph to the Post-Dispatch. Aveusta, Mz., June 22.—Efforts to break an im- mense jam of logs on the Kennebec have afforded excitement for a few days to people along the river above Fairfield. A great drive came out of the east branch of the Kennebec about tendays ago. When two miles below Indian Pond dam, the logs began to form a jam on the bend of the river where the banks are nearly one hundred feet high. It was not long before 10,000,000 logs were hung up in a great blockade. The drivérs in charge hoisted the gates at Indian Pond dam, and with a head of eight feet of water tried to force the jam through. The sndden rush of water broke the boom just above the jam and Iet down 2,000,000 more logs upon the pile, but without forcing the blockade, The gates at the dam were then closed to raise another head of water. Other logs accum- ulated until an immense pile hale half a mile long and tossed high in the air, completely ‘id the river frem sight. Lumbermen climbed out to the head of the jam and deposited a large quantity of dynamite which was connected by wire with a bat- tery on shore. Early Saturday morning a sufficiént quantity of water had accumulated. The gates at the dam were opened anda head of ten feet sud- denly poured down through the valley. The great pile of logs CREAKED AND TWISTED, but did not start untilan electric button on shore was touched. There wasa tremendous explosion, Logs flew high in the airand a sudden shower of SDiinters fell for acres around. The jam started 6n masse down the valley. There was a strange crashing and rumbling that grew into a roar as the immens> body gathered speed. The current runs at sixteen miles an hour fora long distance below where the blockade occurred and the logs, moving as a solid body, gained nearly that spee It was a strange sight. No water was to be seen, and the great black avalanche rushing through the valley with an uneartoly roar presented a spectacie which those who witnessed will long remember. Lumber men say there were fully 14.000,000 logs in the drive as it finally swept down stream. After the mass got in motion it stretched out so that its height above the water was about twenty feet, many of the logs riding down in an upright posi- tion. Many logs caugut upon rocks and projections, and were broken or ground to pieces. SUMNER HARTWELL. The Life and Death of the Octogenarian Hermit of Shirley. By Telegrapnh to the Post-Disvatch. Boston, June 22.—Sumuner Hartwell, the octo- genarian hermit of Shirley, is dead. He lived and died in the room where he was born. He passed half his life in a locality where he could hear the locomotive whistle daily, yet he never rode on a train of cars and knew not the appearance of the inside of an ordinary freight caboose. He had no idea of the nature of the telegraph instrument and had failed to gaze upon the telephone transmitted. Horse cars would have been as strange to him as they would have been to the North American In- dian in 1537. Of the several towns near Shirley, he had visited only two. The City of Fitchburg, two miies away, he knew no more about than he did of lierat. From thé hill-top where ne passed his days can plainly be ,seen the church spires in Lunenberg, three miles away, yet Sumner artwell knew as much about Constantinople as he did of Lunenberg. He had been to Townsend Har- bor, an adjacent village, and had paid visits toa grist-mill on the edge of Groton, but at that point be WOULD NOT ALIGHT FROM HIS TEAM Neither curiosity nor a desire for information had ever prompted him to learn in just what manner his corn was turned into meal, Hartwell never sawa circus, never attended a county cattle show, never heard of a thousan inat- ters familiar to every school-boy-in.the land. For forty years he had noi attended church, but he made the request that when he died the bell upon + the Unitarian Church be tolied, and it was. Politi- tically, this odd fellow was a Republican, but he did not follow closely the political world. He voted for Blaine last year, but he did not tarry at the polls. Disappointment in love is populuriy sup- posed to have caused him to seclude himself from the world, but nothing definite oa this point is known. THE FRENCH SPOLIATION CLAIMS, Action Taken by the Heirs of James Mil- ler to Secare Over $100,000. By Telegravh to the Post-Disitch. Lexineton, Mo., June 22.—At the instigation of Mr. W. T. Bowen of Wytheville, Va..a meeting of the heirs of the large Miller estate was held here the 18th inst., in Wallace & Childs office, there being present Mr. J. A. Hansborougnh of Abilene, Kan.; Mr. W. A Hansborough of Leavenworth, Kan., Mrs. J. P. Babbitt, and Mrs. G. O. Nunnelly and Mrs. Miller of Daltlas, Texas, Mr. Bowen and Mrs. Elizabeth Kounselor, of this city, for the pur- pose of arranging matters in the Miller claim, which comes under the head of the Freach spolia- tion claims for the loss of ships and cargoes, sus- tained during the great French revolution, about the year 1802, the principal amounting to $100,000 with interest up to date. Capt. W.A. Thornton of Higgins- ville, Mo.. was duly appointed administrator and after the close of the meeting Capt. Toorntoa and Mr. Bowen proceeded to Boonville, Cooper County, Mo., where James Miller died and was buried, to get out letters of administration, etc. Much satis- faction is manifested among the heirs. MUST BE CRAZY. A Potter Attempts to Cremate His Dead Daughter and Kill His Wife. Wuertrme, W. Va., Jine 22.—About 10 o'clock yesterday morning great excitement was caused in the village of West Wheeling on the Ohio side of the river, by the attemptof a Polish potter, one Heffier, to cremate the body of his daughter in one of the kilns of his works, The man said he was too poor to give his child burial. Early in the morning he fired the kiln, and strapped the body to a board so. that it might be pushed into the furnace. His intentions leaked out, and soona crowd of 150 or 200 indignant people gathered. The City Marshal of Bellaire was sent for, and the body was removed from the custody of the parents aad given burial by Senator Wagner and others. Last night it was reported Heffler had attempted tokill his wife with an axe, saying that he had been commanded by God to take her life. THE OBLAHOMA BOOMERS, Capt.

Special Correspondence of the Post-Dispatch. Kansas Urry, Mo., June 18.—It is no trouble at all for a man who loves a good stiff game of poker to find it in Kansas City. There is, of course, a State law which makes the keeping of a gambling house a felony, but it is not enforced against poker club rooms, There is no faro east of the Kansas State line. The strictly professional gambling amounts to almost nothing, but there are some stockmen's games that would make cold chills run up the back of the average business man. I have seen $25,000 cbhangs ownership in a little friendly game on hands which went back tothe pack without ever being seen. Unsuspecting people never dream of the extent of the poker mania. I believe if the * Posr- Dispatcn would bok it up, it would find that if the poker clearings were included in the weekly statements they would go a long way towards off- setting the loss of 300r40 per cent. that the me- tropolis is suffering. At all events it would be so if oker playing is as popular in St. Louis as it is in Kansas City. Woe untothe man who jumps the game. Thrice disgraced is he who jumps the game when he isthe winner. Five rich stoc« men hired a room in the St. James Hotel on a Friday night, a week ago. They had a po<er iay-out and the blue chips were worth $25, the red $10 and the white $5. IT WAS $10 ANTE AND NO LIMIT. The night flew away apace and morning dawned on the absorbed players. Some were poorer and some richer by thousands. Breakfast, and dinner and then supper were brought, but the play went on. Late Saturday night one of the participants signified his intention to go home to his wife and babies. but he was kept by the pror- ises of his friends that they did not mean to play much longer. Another daybreak soon pee on the players, and still the cnick of the chips never ceased. Breakfast, dinner and supper were again served, The higher and more reckless. that would each buy aranch were raked in by first one player then another. At breakfast time Monday morning, the man who wanted to go home Satur- day night swore that he would wait no longer. As he plunged through the doorway, he was followed by the scathing remark, “Damp a man who would jump a game!” A yéar ago I met a young man who had come out West to grow up with the country. He wasa raduate of Harvard and had pleasant manners, ut had, evidentiy ieft a comfortable Eastern home with exaggerated notions of the West. In three weeks after his arrival he was strapped ane had ail his best duds in wn. [ Was some- what interested in his fate at the time, but did not see him again until a few days ago, He had the earmarks of prosperity about him andl was told later that he wad graduated from a coal dealer's office as a crack poker playerand he had learned it all within a few montas. Some wonderful stories were toid of THIS YOUNG FELLOW'S NERVE and it was said that be had a good fat bank account and played regularly in a stockmen's ame. The tide in his fortune was turned by his grit in piaying two deuces in a big game. He had been drifting into gambling for sometime and kuew a great deal about a deck of cards. Threeof the players had laid down their hands after the draw, leaving oniy twoetomestants. Tuehero of this story had beer winning and bet freely on bis hand. His opponent kept seeing him and raising him, and finally, after the pot had grown big enough to be worth fighting for, raised him $2,000 The clerk in the coal office put on his__=_—i thinking cap. He had two deuces unsupported and he looked at them and then coolly eyed his antagonist. ‘This lasted two or three minutes. Not a facial muscie moved. “I cali you,” ne said at last, throwing bis deuces down upon the tabie. They won the pot. The other man's nand was not as good asace high. I am told that this young Harvard graduate is one of the vest poker porere hereabouts. He calls a bluff instinctively. His luck is charmed, and the oldest and most reckless players tremble when they go against him, The great art in poker is to know wuaen to call and when not to call, aad with $100 in the pot and $5 bet by his antagonist, I once saw the best gambler in Mis- souri lay down three of a kind. “Why did you not call him; it would only have cost you $5?" said L “He had a better handthan I did, and [ would have been just $5 out.” Men are borh gambpiers, and it is this intuition to call at the mgnt time that makes them successful. Ina biz game at a hovel here not jong ago, in whica five or six friends took part, there was : AN EXCITING ILLUSTRATION of this delirious sort of doudt. dropping out. with two pla had three queens, having drawn to start. His opponent had drawn taree cards. e iatter at this juncture coolly an- nounced a raise of $10.00). Tne man with three queens was fairly siaggered. His antagonist might be vbiuffing. He mignt have drawn to an ace and king and caught nothing, or ne might have caught another king and two mvure aces, or he migut have DRAWN TO A PAIR and caughtafull hand. Was he bluffing? That was the question. After thinking the maiter over ‘he did not consider his queens worth that amount of money, 80 that both nands went tv tne deck and the man on the other side of the table raked in the stakes. I found out afterwards that ail tuis money was won on the following hand: Ace, jack, ten and twosixes. Tie three queeus would have won by a large majority. It is one of the delights of the stockman, whose fortune has grown up on him like a Jack’s beanstalk, to do absurdly extravagant things. ‘hese nabobs will aciuaily shake dice for a nice house and lot, first dasn out of the box. Seaiskin overcoats are worn over nand-me-down suits, and immense diamonds flash from flannel shirt fronts. A rich ranch owner wouldask no better fun than to throw silver dollars into a crowd of street gamins, There was one poker gaine here in wuica every chip, red, white and blue, represented a steer. When @ man aated, wnat ve threw to the center of the table represented asteer, And ii took anotner steer to make it good, This was a gilt-edzed game, and nobody who could not count his cattle on a thousand hilis dared take any partinit. it would maxe 4 poor man dizzy to think of the money won and ijost in this steer game, It is evident that @ stockmuaa's game is no piace for @ poor man anyway.

A Case of Criminal Assault Which the Victim's Mother Tried to Dismiss. A very curious little scene occurred in Judge Noonan's Court this morning which goes to show the manuer in which little affairs can be arranged, and also the manner in which Judge Noonan inter- feres with these arrangements. Ono Saturday last John Ryan of 29 5S. Tenth street, came before Mr, Dierkes and swore out a warrant charging Thomas White with a successful criminal assault upon his daughter, Maggie Ryan. The case was set for trial this inorning. When the case came on to be neard Mrs. Kyan, @ rather muscular-looking lady, ex- pressed a great deal of resentment at the call and told the Prosecuting Attorney that the case becn settled. Col. Claiborne said: “Madam, you can’t settle a case Of this sort. Once the complaint is made there must be a triai.” “But I guess ome case can't go on unless I want to prosecute,”’ said Mrs. yan very deliantly. “Tnis is either ulackimail or felony,” said Judge Noonan, “and whichever it may ve, | propose to get at the bottom of it. Tne Sheriff will get toe wit- nesses and imprison them uniess tney give good bood to be here. Where is your husband?” ‘He's out looking for wor«.”’ “And where is your daugiter?” “She is at the Hospital.
