North’s Early Career— How He Astonished the Patrons of the Saw- Dust Ring in Europe—The Grit and Activity of Two Venturesome Ameri- cans, By Telegraph to the Post-Disvatch, New York, July 8.—There was born on the 14th of June, 1814, at Newton, Long Island, a boy who, after more than halt a ceuturfof phenomenal work on the back of a horse, died on Long Island yesterday. The name of Levi J. North may not be familiar to the patrons of the circus as represented by Barnum and Forepaugh to-day, but it was very well known tothe fathers, if not to the grand- fathers, of the children who at the present time in- hale the inspiration of the sawdust and beg to be taken to see the elephant and the other attractions of the circus ring. is connection with the circus began in this wise: A diminutive caravan halted at the old Military Garden, Brooklyn, located on the side of the present Court House and gave — performances, Young North became in with the life of the circus le, and when the show gathered its traps and departed to the South he the strollers and circus life in ear- nest.

He got no salary, although when the managers felt prosperous they occasionally allowed him a . The show's expenses its greatest income about 2 generation „ that there was did much larger than a fairy, and it is not possible to wonder at that he disported fairy like, upon the back of a horse. And yet, there were persons who wondered at his agility. Louis Phillippe,the King of France, was one of these and the Qu of Engiand was another. He rode before their majesties years ago, and succeeded in them. The circus was not in those days what it is to-day. It was — necessary that hould 0 of can- vas, confident of eliciting praise for clever riding and other feats, and it is doubtful if better ridin bas ever been done since. When the man who di in Brooklyn yesterday set forth to conquer the world on the back ef a horse, the difficulties of ex- celiing his contemporaries was quite as great as they areto-day, but the prize for success was in- larger. He was a good ileok- boy and an work. Histrip to England was made with that fameus clown, Joe Blackbura, THE TWO VENTURESOME AMERICANS, full of grit and activity of a new country, found litule ificuity after arriving in ‘London in obtaining an engagement at Ducrow & West's circus, better known as Astley's. Ducrow was at that time the phenomenal rider of ali Europe, and itis related him that, havin seen North on the back of a horse, be relinquish all claim to artistic merit and contented himself with managerial triumphs. His partner, West, also succumbed to the onslaught of the American, and gave Mr. North his daughter in marriage. Old copies of sporting papers and old play bills tell in a graphic way the triumphs of the American rider in London. He was not only famous while on the of a horse, but was unexceptionally alert in the ring. There was, at that time, a tumbler named Price, who was accusto to turn twenty-five somersaults in succession before the eyes of ad- miring thousands. One evening North turned thirty-three somersaults, which set the English people agape, and might have kept them so had he not, at leaving Leamingt Spa, the next year, eclipsed his record by turning fifty-five somersau! upon which the Lords and Ladies present presen him with a gold snuff-box, and ceased to wonder at anything he did or might do It was while he was connec wit ers American Circus that Mr, ared before the King and ‘he performance took piace at tion with the famous riding school which the King bad established at that place. In his reminiscences of the place, North said, some years ago: “I had a tent for a dressing-room which was as big as toe usual dressiag-room of the entire company. It was furnished with mirrors and a dressing- case, and there were flunkies in livery to wait on me, and hand me ices and between the acts. My tent was some distance from the riding school, across the beautiful, smooth, grassy lawn, and even the pathway between the tent and school was LAID WITH CARPETS for rege te on. 2 Som us royally, I B ou. uring the performance, my mare - ing at the musicas luid a backward — aud. the Queen sent own surgeon to attend me.” The famous rider returned to America later in the forties, and, havin into ershi established trave through the Southern rofit, and, in tact, with consid orth settled in Chicago, and in the course of a ear or two was an alderman of that city. olitical ambition or successes did not win him from the showman’s course.

MISS CLEVELAND’S BOOK. The Publishers Exhaust the Fourth Bdi- ion and Crowded With Orders. By Telegraph to the Post-Dispatoh. New Yorn, July 8—Funk & Wagnalls, the Dey street publishers, yesterday issued the new book, “George Eliot's Poetry and Other Studies,“ by Rose Elizabeth Cleveland, sister of the President, On Monday it was published in London in order to secure the English copyright. It bears the imprint of the firm and their London house, No. 44 Fleet street, To all appearances it is an English book. After it had been regularly entered at Stationers’ Hall, London, Messrs Funk & Wagnalis were hotiied of the fact by cable. Al- though ‘they had announced yesterday as the of publication, Miss Cleveland's book would n pe Fm less, have been issuedin New York not the legal requirements been complied with on the side. Sufficient interest was mani- fested in the new book in England to cause orders for it to be given by British booksellers. The well-knowa house of Kodder& Stoughton there, yesterday gave an order for 5,000 copies. In this country more interest was taken in the book. Peo- — were curious to see the first pubiis a ss of numerous number of the origi edition was twice doubled. The first edition, therefore, was in and third. By 9 o'clock the books were suppiied to book-sellers and jobbing houses in New York. The public demand was large and a number of firms exnausted their stock * the day. Between 8 and 5 o'clock orders for 9 received from city houses. The M News Company, that owns the stands at the elevated railway stations, placed a large order, which they subsequently increased. . HS FOURTH EDITION was started early in the day, and will be ready for delivery this morning. The first three editions were sold the book was pubiiahed, and con- sequently mone of yesterday's orders could be filed, ‘The fourth edition is already sold and like wise a consMerable portion of the fifth, which will be out to-morrow er next day. “We were napi disappointed,” said Mr. Wag- nalls to the Post-Dispatou correspondent late in the afternoon, *There is a much greater demand than we expected, although we anticipated a large sale. A great many peo are curious to read Miss Cleveland's book, but I think the demand wiil con- tinue great, as it will become a standard work.“ “How many —— —— egg pone othing * many yond that i can say n K a een 1 d not care to make any statement We do not care to open our books to our fivala Over 5,000 copies have been sold | icago come next with nearly equal orders; Philadeiphia is third, and Washingtoo fourth.

Yesterday there was a fog in from the sea; everything is gray. But this color made a good back ground for the gay colered. dresses of the ladies on the hotel porches, and the brightly painted cottages along the shore. Long Branch is looking even better than ever this year. It shows every- where the careful hand ofa wise and attentive lib- erality. You see improvements at every turn, while the lawns andthe careful keeping of the grounds in the neighborhood of the cottages bid fair to rival Newport. It is very coool here.

July 8.—About the middie of June Governor Thompson was informed that the convicts employed in grading the Savannah Valley Railway in Abbeville County were cruelly treated; that one convict had died tm consequence of brutal whipping by the guards; that they were over- worked, and that excessive mortality prevailed among them. The Governor immediately instracted the superintendent of the Penitentiary to investi- gate the charges. The official report which has just been made shows that sixgeen deaths have occurred since January 1, out of a total fo of about 120 convicts; that seven are unable to that the convicts are required to maroon nearly mites to their work with shackles on their legs: on account of the bad quality of their food a urvy bas made its ap and that there has been excessive eruelty in * 1 n.. the convicts, effects the be slaug leaving an open sore eighteen inches long by ten inches wide.

THE TRUNK LINE DIFFICULTIES. Negotiations Pending Between the N. I. G. and the Penasylvania. PHILADELPHIA, July 8—The information was given here yesterday upon good authority that negotiations between the Pennsylvania and New York Central Railway Companies, with a view to the settiement of the trunk line difficuity, are pro- gressing satisfactorily. For the first time since the negotiations were begun, itis stated, they areina position where they can be concluded within tweuty-four hours, but whether it will be done so speedily as that even those who are parties to the matter cannot say. The most serious obstacie toa settlement of the trunk line difficu‘ties has been the jeaiousies and antagonisms existing between the Pennsylvania aud New York Central Companies, and those have been occasioned by the invasion by each upon the other’s territory. An officer of the Penusyivauia states that these jealousies and antag- onisms cannot be appeased except by a withdrawal of each from the otner’s territory, and this means that the Vanderbilt interests must abandon their Penasyivania enterprises, and that in return for this the Pennsylvania will exert its influences to sucordinate tae West Shere to the Vanderout con- troi, while, the, Peunsylvania, will not be so aggressive in its New Kogilaod business as berewfore, COULDN’T LIVE ON LOVE.

Spectal Cablegram to the Post-Dispatch. Loxpor, July &.—~it is literally true that public interest intbe Ministerial statements last night was eclipsed by the revelations of the Pall Mali Gazette. London rang last night from end te end with the newsboys’ cries. The presses at the Pall Mall Gazette office were kept running yesterday eight hours without Interruption. Then notice was posted that no more copies could’ be supplied. Northumberland street was blocked all the after- uoon with CROWDS OF PERSONS, including an army of boys trying to buy papers. The edition was high up in the six figures. Copies sold everywhere at twice or three times the regular price. As much as five shillings was offered for Monday's issue. Nothing else is talked about. As I was on my way to see Mr. Stead this morning, word reached me of an injunction just issued to stop the sale of the paper. At the door of the office stood the Lord Chancellor's coachman, waiting to carry off a first copy. I asked Stead about the injunc- tion or prosecution. „Bosh!“ said he. “I wish with all my beart they would, and they know I do. Almost all my staff is invalided from hard work. , PRISON I8 THE ONLY PLACE where I can get a holiday, but I shall not be prose- outed. “Why not!“ Because I would subpoena so many great people that there would be a revolution in the country.” Here he gave me alist of names in confidence, of which I can onty say it took my breath away. Yesterday Stead had an interview with the Home Secretary with reference to Cavendish Bentinok's question in the House of Commons last night. “What you should do,” said Stead to Cross. is to say in the House that the Pall Mall Gazette has covered itself with everlasting glory.” But this, of course, I can’t say.“ replied Cross. Then,“ retorted Stead, “I wish you would say that the Pall Mall Gazette has committed an abominable outrage on public morals, and should be prosecuted with all the severity of the law forth- with.” “If I bad known this before,” replied Cross, I would have passed the bi'l in a moment.“ “Pasa it now,” said Stead.

I pray that good may come from this horrible exposure, which incidentally must do harm, but whose great adrift must resuit in lasting benefit. * I don't hmk our churecies bave faiied, for they bave kept u pure remuant alive in the land. * * I believe that many are unaware of these dunghills, reexing under their mdstriis. * * [thank all co-opera- tors in your brave warfare. * * * Spare not viliains, even though wearing stars and garters. * * We need a vigilance committee, a moral pol'ce fo suppress this infamy. * Let the light in without stint.” The Pall Mall Gazette in an editorial to -day, called 4 Flame Which Shall Never Be Extin- guished,” says of Ben‘inck’s questioa, “When we learned by whom the attempt to hide these crimes from the eye of the public was headed in Parlia- ment and the press, we took courage. Surely those simpletons who send down every afternoon to ask if we have been arrested can hardly imagine that the conspirators of silence will crave for such an opportunity for publicity as will be afforded by a trial, in whic. as a distinguished correspondent writes, we might subpona almost half the lezis- lat ure, in order to prove the accuracy of our re v- elations. Let there be no mistake about this thing. We have put our bands to the plow, and are not going back. THE ARTIOLE TO-DAY deals with the ruin of the very young, and the de- tails are even more horrible than before. The Pall Mall Gazette to-morrow will be filled with let- ters of sympathy. The publication of the exposure will be resumed Thursday.

By Telegraph to the Post-Dispatch. Wasatveron, D. C., July 8.—There was quite a scene in the Patent Office to-day when an elderly man, Mr. Lucien Hopson of Lam- pasas, Texas, called to laquire about an invention which he desired to havea patent for. It was a projectile which he had used during the war, and especially in Charies- ton Harbor against the Union fleet, a — havin been granted bim by the Confederate States. Wit the downfallof the Confederacy his patent was useless unless he could secure the same privilege from this Government. He went to work syste- matically and a patent was issued to him, last March, but he has not been at home for some time and consequently failed to receive the papers. He visited the department to make inquiries, and was very much pleased to find that another patent had been granted him, and his move will be to have it adopted by the Government for the use of vessels and in harbor fortifications It is highly commended by military and naval officers, many of whom have had a practical ex- perience with its destructive powers, Westerr Postmasters Commissioned By Telegraph to the Post-Dispatch.

Cunvetaun, Ono. July 6.—A heavy detail of police was sent into the Eighteenth Ward early this morning to quell the strikers if it became necessary. There was no trouble whatever and no demonstration until afternoon to-day. The strik- ers then assembled in the Fourteenth Ward, ele- vated a red flag and started for the mille in New- burgh, which they surrounded. On arriving they made a great deal of noise but did not offer to do any damage to lifeor property. The police are prepared to move on the mob at once, if it becomes turbulent. THE POLION READY. As the city clocks strugk six this morning two large buses belonging to the Cleveland Transfer Company drove up to the Central Police Station. Soon after thirty-five uniformed policemen with their belts and clubs filed out and took their places in one of the wagons. They were driven rapidly to the Second Precinct Station where thirty-five more officers were in waiting. They then disembarked aud assembled in the station, where Capt. O' Hohen, who was in command, mformed them of their duties for the day. Capt. Hohen then went to the Union Steel screw Works on Case avenue. Super- intendent Bidwell and Capt. Hohen held a consul- tation t the status of affairs. No strikers were present, nor was there any disturbance of any kind. The employes were somewhat backward in going to work, but on being assured they would be pro- tected they readily acquiesced. The girls all re- turned WITHOUT ANY COAXING, but the men were somewhat more dilatory and considerable urging was necessary. At precisely 7 o'clock the engine was started and in a few min- utes all was moving along as before the compul- sory stoppage. The Chisholm Shovel Works and the H. P. Nail Company did not start up, as the employes were afraid that violence would be of- fered to them. Three stalwart patrolmen guarded the place but beyond dispersing a crowd of ubiquitous small boys they bad nothing to do. At 11 o'clock the police were still resting on their arms in the secoed precinct. Deputy McMahon relieved Capt. Hohen at 9:30 and the captain returned to the Central to take charge of the men at that station. The entire police force of the city are under orders, and should an outbreak occur they will be hurried to the scene in short order. The military authori- ties have been consulted, but thus far no orders have been issued, nor will there be unless affairs assume a much more threatening attitude than at present. THREATEN TROUBLE TO-MORROW. J. W. Churchill, who is putting down a gas well for the Rolling Mill Company, and who hasafew men in his employ, called on Superintendent Schmitt this forenoon. He said his men, who are paid 83 50 per day, had been forced to quit work by the strikers, When he remonstrated with the strikers he was told to go about his business or he would get hurt. The Board of Police Commission- ers have been in session during the forenoow. A large number of striking ironworkers, who had ob- tained work on Wilson avenue with Contractor Ciaflin, were this forenoon waited upon by a delega- tion of strikers and forced to throw their shovels down and accompany them. At 1 O'clock the strikers had dispersed and gone to their homes. They wil! hold a meeting to-night and to-morrow night will again move on the Screw Works and close it down, if possible, An Outbreak Feared. CLEVELAND, July 8.—At 8o'clock this afternoon the strikers were quiet and were devoting ali their energies to the meeting to be held to-night. The police still fear an outbreak and are waiting for it. Bay City Strikers Violent. Bay Crry, Mica., July 8.—The mill strikers are stronger to-day. At Rust's mill a conflict took place between the strikers and officers, clubs being freely used. Two men were arrested and jailed, both of them Polanders. A crowd is now around the station house demanding the release of the prisoners, which is refused. Every mill on the river has hut down. Most of them did so of their oon accord. The owners say that it will be closed for a month or until the trouble is over. The excitement seems greater to-day than at any time since the strike commenced. No serious injury has been done to any person thus far. and most of the strikers seem favorable to law and order. The Strike Ended. By Telegraph to the Post-Dispatch. Cuicaao, ILL., July 8.—The greatest of satisfac- tion prevails amongst all classes at the termination of the street car strike. All the gonductors and drivers assembled at the barns this morning prepared to resume their old positions on the cars, and every man who was able to be present assumed charge of his old car as time was called. The men were in pleasant humor, and shook hands with each other, expressing satisfaction at the amicable arrangement reached yesterday. Division Superintendent Whitlock circulated about among the men, shaking hands, and telling them he was pleased to see them all again. The first car left the barns at 5:05 o' clock and started on the first trip down town on Madison street at 5:20. Asthe car moved off the men gave a cheer, and one facetious individual calling out Rats!“ a word that seemed to give the hearers a vast amount of pleasure, for a roar of laughter went up. From 5:90 to 6:80 the cars came out of the barn ina stream, and every man was ready to jump aboard and begin his familiar duty of collecting fares and calling street names. Sev- eral new men who had ventured to run cars during the strike put in an appearance at the barn in the hope of getting a chance to work, but they were not needed, and when the last car had gone they left, with disappointment depicted on their faces. Resumption of Street Car Trafic, Cuicaco, July 8,.—The resumption of street car traffic is complete this morning. The cars are run- ning on all the West Bide lines, manned by the late strikers.

THE KREBS ABDUCTION CASE. Gov. Marmaduke Investigating the Requi- sition Matter Granted Yesterday. . By Telegraph to the Post-Dispatch. Ju¥renson City, Mo., July &—On yesterday, upon the requisition of Gov. Martin of Kansas, Gov, ke issued a warrant for the arrest and return to Kansas of Mrs. Loretta Krebs and her mother, Martha E. Snyder, both of Sedalia, upon the charge of abducting the year-old ebild of one Osgood from Kansas, upon . that Mrs. Krebs aunt, and Mrs. toe the dmother of tie child, and that had ab- ucted it from its father in Kansas, the mother ead. To-day, however, E. J. Smith of as attorney for the indies, in company with John W. Conner, late Sheriff of Pettis County, appeared before the Governor and represented that Mrs. Krebs is the mother of child, and that she simply brought it from Kansas to her home in Sedalia last January, and t the only real ound of complamt is that she brought the child from Kansas, in violation of the order of the court grantin r a divorce from Osgood and the custody of the child, but ordering that the child be kept within the State of Kaneas Thev her represented that in a habeas corpus ing in the Pettis Circuit t March, upon a full invest court custody igation, ordered the of the to the mother, and her present husband was pointed guardian and curator of the child. | these representations, Governor Marmaduke ore a stay of the proceedings and telegraphed Sheriff of Pettis County not to execute the warrant until he could ascer officially as to the habeas corpus proceedings. He intimated very clearly that he would revoke the warrant if the statements of Smith and Conner were sustained by the record. CONSOLIDATED. The Two Boards of Flour Inspection Come toan Agreement. As announced in yesterday's Post-Dispatcn the two Boards of Flour Inspection, the “regular” and the “independent,” have been negotiating a con- solidation, and negotiations had extended so far yesterday that the basis of consolidation wa pretty well understood. Neither Board. however, lixed to compromise itself by maxing overtures tothe other—hence each ap- pointed a committee of prominent flour men and these committees held a meeting this morning. he regular, or Merchants“ Exchange Board was represented by Conrad Fath, Wm. Kaut and Charles Eberle, the independent Board by Dave Kirk, John Fischer and Ed. Bronson. After ashort conference it was agreed that four men be takenfrom each board to constitute the new board, and that Richard Perry of the independent board be made dent. As tne two boards had agreed to abide by the action of the two committees this plan is finalasfar as they are concerned. The scheme will now be brought before the directors of the Ex- change, and, if approved by them, will be put into effect immediately. This will undoubtedly be a gene thing for the flour trade of St. Louis, as a nspection will be hereafter under the direction the Merchants’ Exchange. A SICK SAILOR’S GRATITUDE.

The brown health of the farm colored his face and bands, and the awkward strength of the fields was in his limbs. He was 23 years of age, but she called him her boy, and her eyes kindled and the eloquence of a mother's loving heart filled her lips as she spoke of the lad's merits, She led him to ths hardware store of Geo. Rubelman, who was 80 impressed by his appearance that he® provided a place for him. The work would be hard, Mr. Rubelman said, but the mother had confidence in the sinews of her boy, and the boy had faith in his Own strength, so he went into the cellar of the store and began his business career. This was in 1877. It took the young man but a short time to make his way to the first floor, and in 1881 he was the best man in the establishment. He represented that he had $15,000, and Mr. Rubelman offered him a thira interest for a small sum. He paid the sum 3 and. although up to this time his actious been exemplary and his attention to business unflagging, now he began to sport, neglected his business, went to dinner at 2 p.m. and returned after 5, got into bad company and paved the way for a first-ciuss downfall. Mr. Rubel man did not like the way his pariner was acting, so at the end of eight'months be bought him out for $2,800. THE YOUNG MAN FROM GASCONADE County was named Arthur Fleischer. He repre: sented that his parents were wealthy, and alto- gether conducted himself like a man of unlimited means, leadiug a butterfly existence, the crownin achievement of which the police bave just had their attention attracted to. From the time when he left George Rubelman his business exploits were confined to one year’s partnership witu the Rubel- man who keeps the hardware store on Broadway and Webster street, two months in Florida, during which time he organized a steamship company, anda year or more of service in this ciiy as local agent for Gibson, Parrist & Co. of Chicago, dealers in uphoistery, etc. When William Meiners, the upholsterer, concluded to go out of business, Fleischer was made the as- signee and the creditors cre still waiting for their dividend. The particular act that calls for this publicity of Fle:scber’s career, is the wholesale cashing of worthless checks and drafts which Fleischer effected last Friday. From the statement of H. C. Grau, one of the victims, it would appear month ago. He had been pretty hard pressed lately by the creditors of Wm. Meiners, who wanted their share of the sale of Meiners’ assets, but kept utting them off from week to week. Besides. be da judgment against them in the Circuit Court on a note of $2,000 given by himself and Ed.

The 8d of July offered him tue opportunity he desired; there would be no banking on the 4th, the Sth was Sunday, the checks would be deposited Monday and would not come back from the clearing house until Tuesday morning. This gave him three whole days in which te place a good long distance between himseif and the city. HE BEGAN OPERATIONS after 3 p. m. Friday.

He boughia siik umbrella for . 50 and a silk n tor $i from John W. er, giving a Valley National check for $10 50. He probably made other pur- chases and gave other checks for value received, and then he began trading the checks for money, represeating that the banks were closed and he wanted a little money for the Four h. ‘The firm of D. H. Booth & Co. cashed a drait for $80 on Gibson Parsih & Co. of i Chicago; Jos. A. Robertson cashed a check for $100 on the Valley National, and R. U. Leonori cashed a check for $25. He met Col. Hatch on the street and asked that gentleman to cash a $125 check which the Col- one] was willing todo had not Mr. Chassaing, of the Lindell, been busy at the time and Mr. Fieisch- er in too great a hurry to wait. It is thought that he went to other friends and possibly to the furni- ture men who bought extensively of him, and got several amounts. When n up Jos. Robert- son's money he had a roll of bills as round as a loaf and must.aave bad, bertson thought, at least $400 or $600. He tried to get a $25 check cashed in the cigar store at Fifth aud Olive, and tailing there tried the barkeeper of the Pearl Saloon. gave a worthless order for $5 worth of cigars to a young man in D.

Yesterday morning the Valiey National checks were returned to the gentlemen in whose favor they were drawn with two large and well defined letters, N. G., marked upon them in blue neil. Investigation isclosed that Fleischer had drawu 826 from the Valley National on Friday afternoon, and the bal- ance in his favor at the bank was forty-three cents. The draft on Gibson, Parish Co. was returned to D. H. Booth & Co. this morning, with a note 1 ey owed Fleischer nothing. He asked Ar. th for $100, but the latter had not that amount to spare, so he saved o by the cir- cumstance. Fleischer played ali his friends and could have got a great deal more had he been bold enough, as Messrs. Grau & Walsh expressed them- selves willing to accept his check for even $600 worth of goods. Mr. Grau says that he purchased a ring from him for $65 and told him to wait until the Ist of July for hs money, wuich would indicate that he had chosen this time for making his haul. Just how much he got is not known, but it is some- where in the neighborhood of $1.000, and Messrs. Wm. Fritsch and Wm. Peterson were on his assignee bond for $800, which amount they will have to pay. Fleischer has gone either to Fiorida or Mexico, so his friends think.

COMMERCIAL CHAT ——— Items of Interest In aud About Business Centers. | The cleaning which has been going on in the hall of the Merchants’ Exchange for nearly two months past is almost completed, and this afternoon work- men began to take down the huge scaffolding which reaches from floor to ceiling. Another scaf- folding will have to be ereg.ed in the lobby, just without the hall. Ed. Chamberlin the anky, who bas always been esteemed a devout practicer as he was & preacher of abstinence, has fallen from grace, He started for the Yellowstone hy river a few days since with a blue ribbon in his buttonhole and sanctity d ed on his corpse-like ‘countenance.

Everything went off satisfactorily the elevator will be receiving grain the first part of next week. J. B. M. Kehlor is as persistent a bear as any man on thefloor. “Liverpooiis lower again,” he this morning, ‘and | should not be surprised to see cash wheat sell at eighty-five cents within two weeks. They cannot get this new wheat to market before next week and until they do the market is bound to sag.“ “I think we will see higher prices for provisions as soon as there is a little more confidence in oom- mercial circles, said Michael McEaonis, “Stocks in the consumptive markets are light, and there is very little in the West.” The individuals who are working to the two Boards of Fiour Inspection are using every endeavor to keep the matter secret until it shall have been accomplished. Since Perry's Board went out Ar years ago there bas been considerable feeling displayed among flour men for and against each of the two Boards, Still the belief is very general that the consolidation will take place within a week, “Ihave just received letters in answer to inqul- ries lsent outafew days since with reference to the hay crop,” said H. W. Chandler this morning; “and from all over the see ion of country tributary to this market the answer is about the same, the acreage is light and tne crop small but owing to the winter-killing of a great deal of the clover the crop will beof much finer quality than was ex- pected. I beiieve the high grades of hay are to doll much higher in proportion to the lower grades than last season.” Additionai news from the Granite Mountain Mine is that a shaft has been sunk in Tunnel No. 3 44 feet deep and a cross cut made to the vein, which shows a large amvunt of miueral, bearing out character of thé property, A petition was circulated on the floor of the Ex change this morning addressed to Danie} Manning Secretary of the Treasury, and signed by most of the millers and exporters of flour on this market. It calls attention to Provision 9 of the Depart- ment’s circular of June 3, 1885, regulating the allowance of drawback on exported bags flied with flour, the import duty on raw material hdving been previously paid. , condition of the export trade, says tae ee we, is such that to enforce the requirement that ene bag iu each shipment be emptied would practically defeat all the other provisions of the circular made to enable exporiers to secure the drawback. Provision 9, says the petition, would, if enf be in effect an order forbidding the payment drawback on bags experted filled with flour. LEGAL DOINGS.

On Monday Sub-Treasurer Edwards received 621 registered letters which makes it the biggest day in that regard in the history of the local office. As it was the first Post Office quarter, under the new Administration, it may be taken as an evidence of the effect of the present regime on the public gervants. These letters were in addition to the usual daily mail received at the Sub-Treasury, and represented the returns of the postmasters for all this district, reaching as far West as Colorado. Once before 500 letters were received in one day, but this jump of 121 shows that at least 121 postmasters have the desire of Nasby which wants to be postmaster.” It may also be attributed to the fact that the Fourth and Sunday gave two days for the forwarding of the returns, but the Democrat who cannot see in the above facts anevidence of true reform, fails to understand the anomaly of such a thing as 6211 prompt postmasters.

Many dispatches were received re- ding this, and it seemis true that considerable — age has been done, but it does not appear to have caused any commotion in Enylish markets yet.

And the bundle of whi he carries in his hand will make the old stagers weep with envy. This new candidate for statistical honors says in his prefatory remarks: We have included stocks of grain at the numercus points of accumulation in the Atlantic States aod in the Central and South Mississippi Valley, which have not been included in either the Chisago or New York weekly exhibits. In Wiscon Minnesota and Dakota, our reports of stocks of cereals is quite exhaustive. At Winnipeg and at Port Arthur and Fort William, Ontario on the north shore of Lake Superior stocks of wheat are held which quite overtop those at Toronto and Montreal. And in California the semi-annual report of stocks at San Francisco stored elsewhere in the State have been too long omitted from current Atlantic Coast exhibits of stocks of grain on hand.” Then follow some tables in which he makes out that the true visible supply of wheat east of the Rocky Mountains on July 1 was 48,196,667 bushels, against about 38.000. 000, which is the latest New York estimate, and 41,832,524, which is the last Chicago estimate.

THE Chicago Tribune is in great distress about the treatment which the flag is receiving from the present administration. According to the Tribune, the flag is not hoisted when it should be, and is hoisted when it should not be, and the Tribune regards this as proof positive of a traitorous hostility manifested by Mr. CLEVELAND and his Cabinet towards the Star- Spangled Banner. If somebody does not take care that the flag is run up and run down more in accordance with Joz MErDILL’s notions, he will soon be as crazy as GUITEAU. — ———— —— THE little light shed on the true state of &0- ciety and morals in England by the revelations of the Pall Mall Gazette has stirred all England to its depths and Parliamentis called. on to in- terfere and suppress the truth. The strangest part of the whole business is that no one inti- mates that the Pall Mall Gazette has not told the truth. Not one of its statements is ques- tioned, not one of its facts denied, but that spirit of British society which DICKENs called ‘‘Podsnappery” demands that the unpleasant truth shall not be told, argues that it is better to endure evils than to face public scandal and proposes to punish the Pall Mall Gazette for having dared to tell truths which reflect on the aristocracy. | — Ir is contended by the strict constructionists of the City Charter that the Charter which for- bids the city endowing any religious institution prevents the city from paying bills for services rendered by a religious institution, and that the city cannot legally agree to pay St. Ann’s Asylum for the care of the foundlings. Be- tween the law-makers, the lawyers and the judges, it is hard to tell what the law is i this State, but we take it for granted that if the law permits the city to send its foundlings to a re- ligious institution the law will permit the city to pay the expense it thus incurs. St. Louis is too large a city to play the role of a dead beat in dealing with an orphan asylum, and when- ever the city wants to do the decent thing it will find a way to do it. ass erred Ir is a little bit late in the day to be settling the question whether our Criminal Courts are maintained for the enforcement of the laws, or the gratification of private malicé, yet it ap- pears that this question is yet an unssttled one in St. Louis.

Justice should be cheated and the scoundrel let loose unpunished. It is about time that this trifling with justice should be suppressed. Bey | AN article in another colunin shows how the state Board of Equalization manages to save Mr. Jay Govuup the neat little sum of $400,000 a year in State and local taxes. The amount saved for Mr. GouLD comes out of the pockets of the small property holders of course. But they are nobodies, while he is a great public benefactor for whose benefit the Constitution The small property holder has no political in- flocence,” no salaried attorneys to run local pri- maries, manipulate State conventions and help the right candidates with liberal campaign THe Bohemians and Poles who are march- ing about in Cleveland compelling satisfied laborers to quit work are said to be armed with the same pistols that were given to them by their employers when they were imported as cheap laborers some years ago to take the places of the strikers whom they succeeded ih the iron mills of Ohio. When imported cheap labor not only organizes strikes, but arbitrarily forces well-paid and well-satisfied laborers to quit work, and when at the same time we see that low wages, discontent and strikes are con- fined almost wholly to the most highly pro- tected industries, we begin to perceive that there have been some mischievous mistakes both in our tariff legislation and in the busi- ness management of our protected industries. — — In A communication in the Forum, Cape Girardeau” accuses us of having frightened the Penitentiary Commissioners away from the Cape Girardeau location. The charge will not stick. The Post-DisPATcH has freely recog- nized the justice of locating the Penitentiary in Southeast Missouri, if only as a tardy recog- nition of the rightful claims of that neglected part of the State. Our columns will show that we have expressed a favorable opinion of Cape Girardeau as a site for the Penitentiary, and we should be sorry to see the Commissioners admit more than was charged against them, by abandoning Cape Girardeau altogether. Such a change of plan would bea confession which gentlemen of the public prominence and aspira- tions of Messrs.

One of the new appointees has served several terms in the Workhouse. another has been an inmate of the Penitentiary and anoth- er one has compromised several cases of swin- dling. This is a very bad record, but if the facts are correct it should serve as a valuable warning to the President. Without knowing the facts in the case it is only reasonable to assume that Mr. CALDWELL is the average machine politician, put into office to pay some political debt, and having corresponding debts of his own to pay. He was appointed on the recommendation of interested politicians with- out sufficient inquiry into his real character. We can easily undérstand the situation in Cin- cinnati because there is an attempt to do, here in St. Louis, whaf has apparently been r ———— Tu street railroad strike in Chicago has deen settled on terms which show that it was at bottom, only a struggle over the mght of the men to belong to a Conductors’ and Drivers’ Association which they had organized. Claim- ing that sixteen members had been discharged for no fault but their activity in forming and maintaining this ofganization, the employes all quit work, and by riotous demonstrations undertook to prevent the running of the cars by new men. In this unlawful course they had the sympathy and support of so large a part of the people, that such protection as the police power could afford did not enable the company to triumph over the difficulties of the situation. It was possible to run cars guarded by policemen, but this formal vindication of the law kept passengers out of the cars and practically destroyed the company’s business as long as the trouble lasted. At last, in obedience to public clamor, the President of the Company offered to reinstate the dis- charged men, ifthe others would go to work on the understanding, that nobody was to be discharged for merely belonging to the As- sociation, and that the question whether or not there. was other cause for discharging any of the sixteen should be submitted to disinterested arbitration. _ 2 . By the transfer of cases fromthe State to the Federal Courts a number of criminals in various sections of the country have escaped punishment through technicalities which could not have shielded them in the State courts. The idea that laws for the protection of negroes or for the protection of the ballot box would be defeated by political prejudice in the State courts and would be sternly enforced in the Federal courts alone, has saved many a mur- derer from the gallows, and not a few election- return forgers and ballot-box stuffers from the Penitentiary. An undue straining of Federal court jurisdiction has seemed to result in the opening of so many technical loopholes that the transfer of criminal cases to that jurisdiction has defeated justice in many plain cases of guilt. There are said to be now in one -penitentiary over a hundred prisoners liable to be discharged under an ex- pected Supreme Court decision on the ground that they had been prosecuted and convicted of infamous crimes without being first indicted by a Grand Jury as the Constitution requires. MAOxKIN, the Chicago sélection crook, would have boen railroaded to the Penitentiary by the State courts, but for the intervention of the Federal Judiciary, and while ke was confident- ly awaiting a Supreme Court decision to ‘annul the conviction he had incurred, a State court tiary for a term of five years for perjury com- mitted in connection with the crime of which and laws are notoriously ignored or nullified. , | sole jurisdiction. The probability is that this is the only punishment that will be meted out to him, and that he has to thank only the U. 8. District Attorney for his escape from a heav- ~ ee Trousers or Pantaloons. From the Uhicago Herald. The etymology of neither word helps very much. Webster says: In the United States the original word trousers is almost laid aside, the term being applied only to the loose garment of sailors or laborers, while pantaloons is used in all other cases. The English adhere to the old term, in respect equally to the dress of gentlemen and all others, making much less use of the word pantaloons in speaking of this part of the dress.“ The definition given of trousers is a loose garment worn by males males of the human species is, of course, meant —extending from the waist to the knee, or to the ankle, and covering the lower limbs. If one wants to be a carper, the definition might be repudiated, since it describes this garment as loose. Trousers is given as its synonym. The origin of pantaloon is said in Webster to be Italian, from a masked character in comedy who wore breeches and stock- ings that were all of one piece. The term panta- loon, Which passes from Italian into French, and from French into English, is said to be derived from Paotaleone, the patron saint of Venice; a baptismal name common in Italy, and derived from the Greek, meaning all lion.“ 80 far Webster, in which the word trousers is taken from the French word, meaning to truss. But all authorities do not agree about pantaloon. Archbishop Trent says “Our pantaloons are from Saint Pantaleone; he was the patron salut of the Venetians, who therefore very commonly received Pantaleon as their Christian name; it was from them transferred toa garmeat which they much affected." But another eminent anthority defines pantaloon“ as a feeble-minded old man—Shakes- peare's lean and slippered Pantaloon—“ the cully of the clown, whom he aids and abets in all his knav- ery. The word is derived from the dress he used to wear, panu talon, a loose suit down to thé heals.” Byron says the character of Pautaleoné meant “Planter of the Lion,” the Venetians being planters of the Lion of Saint Mark, and he derives the En- glish word from Piantaleone. Father Prout, hav- ing confessed ignorance relative to pantomime— does anybody know why so many people say pan- tomine? -a writer in Fraser in 1846 addressed a letter to him in which pantaloon is discussed. The writer affirms that it is of Venetian origin, follow- ing Byron in defining it as piantaleone—“ he planted the lilon“ the designation of a standard- bearer, the lion being the symbol of Venice. But he adds that nothing ean be made out ot this etymology. “Why should a standard-bearer be chosen asatype of old men, the heavy fathers of the drama? True itis that the tight red hose and yellow slippers of Pantaloon are also those of the standard-bearer: but the question remains un- answered.” Then he offers a plausible suggestion. “The tightred hose aud yellow slippers became the costume of the Venetian merchants. When these were superseded by the full flowing garment, the change was only adopted by the young. The old men continued to wear the old costume.” That explains Shakespeare's use of the word; but it does not literally account for the garment under discus- sion. Still vagueris the scientific remark of Ar. George H. Darwin in the Development of Dress. He says: We find an intermediate stage between trousers and breeches in the pantaioon, in which the knee buttons of the breeches have walked down to the ankle. If'etymology and history fail to decide the ques- tion in favor of pantaloon, still less do they lend countenance to trousers. The garment men wear to-day is not the garment a page wears, for in- stance, and a page wears that which perfectly an- swers to the French verb to truss. But how about the secorid test, the general use of the word panta- loon to describe the garment? Itis not only the word employed ali but universally in the United States, itis the word employed in nearly all other countries to designate the same thing. ‘“Unos pantalones” it is in Spain, pantalon“ it is in France, pantalon“ itis Germany. The world, ex- cept a portion of one island, adopts pantaloon. The United States is pantaloon. The English may stick to trousers as long as they choose. But the word pantaloon is all right. Stick to it. There is no more reason for using trousers wheo you mean pantaloon than for swearing be jawv, ye knaw. Indian Land Leases... From the Philadelphia Record, There is no authority to make the leases these men bave obtained but Congress; but the legisla- tive power has been carefully avoided and ignored in their procurement. Even were they regular in form there could be no countenancing 4 lease like that to the Colorado Livé Stock company, which disposes with six million acres—a vast principality —for a merely nominal annual reutal. The una u- thorized and illegal operations of which these fraudulent leases are the result should be at once disavowed by the Interior Department, and every precaution should be taken not only to restore to the Indians the lands of which they have been de- frauded, but also to prevent by lasting and effectu- al means any possible recurrence of such macnifi- cent larceny and conversion. The Government's plain duty is to do for the wards of the nation just what any guardian in private life would do to pre- vent the spoliation of an estate intrusted to him. Thieves in high social and official standing are be- ginning everywhere to feel the strong arm of the law. It is time now that an example was made of some of the most flagrant offenders belonging to the Western land-grabbing syndicates. Sword-Canes for Ladies. From the Philadelphia Times. I guess I'll have to lay in a new stock of sword- canes,” said a Ninth-street dealer in walking-sticks yesterday. That lady took the last one I had.“ Do ladies buy sword-canes?” was asked. “Do they? Well, I should say so. Young lady artists are heavy customers in them. You see they go about the country sketching and painting, and they want something for protection.” “Against tramps!“ “No, against lizardsand qgnakes—and cows. They tell me they can split a lizard every time—run him right through.” “Are you sure they fight cows with them?” “That's what they say, but I doubt it. Between you and me if a girl saw a ed coming towards her she'd drop the cane and make for a fence every time. That's none of my business, though. l'm gelling canes, and if the ladies want to buy them m going to encourage them all I can.“ A Hint to the Farson, From the Buffalo Commercial. ‘There is a great deal of religion in nature,” l- emnly remarked a young clergyman, when calling upon a lady of his congregation the other even ing. a “There is,“ was the quiet reply. „Wo should never forget that there is a sefmon in every blade of grass.” “Quite true.

To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch: Yesterday's Post-Dispatcn says that the Pen- itentiary Commissioners are looking at the Hanni- bal and Louisiana locations. From this I infer that you have scared them off from Cape Girardeau, and if you have done so, I beg to congratulate you on the victory you have achieved—for Chicago. We folks down at the Cape were congratulating ourselves on the dead certainty that we would have the support ef St. Louis for our location, on grounds of common sense. We thought that St. Louis knew its own interests and that if we offered a site for the penitentiary where every dollar of tue cost of material and work, every dollar's worth of sup- plies, every pound of iron, and every business transaction would come from St. Louis, that St. Louis would see that we were or op backed. instead of this we find that the only St. Louis paper that has noticed us has scared the Commis- siohers off until now they are actually considering the merits of locating the Missouri Penitenotiary on either the Chicago and Alton road, or on tne Chicago, Burlington and Quincy, Asa third alter- native, we have the Kansas City location where St. Louis would not be adowed to supply as much as a toothpick to pick the warden’s teeth. l don’t say anything about the injustice done to Southeast Missouri: Our part of the State has sucked the hind teat so long that we are accus- tomed to scant rations.

Ho the Gould System Evades Taxes to the Amount of $105,000 Anuually. The Queer Assessments of the Iren Mountais and the Missouri, Kansas and Texas Roads. Twonty-Soren Millions of Property of the Gould System Wiped Off tho Assessment by the Board of Dquali- gation—Some Startling Facts and Figures — Railroads Which Dodge $850 Tax Por Mile--A. Bad, Showing For the State. 5 Yesterday the assessment of the Missouri Pacific Railroad was examined, and it was shown that at a moderate estimate $14,000,000 worth of that property entirely escaped taxation. Jay Gould bas not been less fortunate with his other proper- ties in Missouri. He has been greatly encouraged in his enterprises by the liberality of the Board of Equalization... How much he and the ether stock- holders have profited and how much the State of Missouri has lost by the under assessment of the St. Louis, Iron Mountain and Southern, and of the Missouri, Kansas and Texas Railways will be found below, Broadly stated $13,000,000 worth of the prop- erty of these roads has been withdrawn from taxa- tion by the equalizers. Taking first the report made tothe stockholders by Mr. R. S. Hayes, the first vice president, we find that the Iron Mountain is in excellent financial con- dition, Its earnings for 1884 were $7,451,897 29. Its operating expenses $3,987,203 24. After paying ac- crued interest on its bonds to the amount of $2,206,- 654 35, and afterall the other expenses were dis- posed of, it still placed $1,684,952 28 to the right side of its income account. The cost of the road and equipment were stated to be $58,521,68901. The capital stock and funded debt are together $57,564, - 782 91, Tue M., K. & T. in the same period earned $7,317,- 250 91. Its operating expenses were 84. 847,246 49. It paid 82.439.617 65 and netted an income of 83.910.788 78. The cost of the road, etc., is put at 566.47, 085 40. The capital stock, common and preferred, and the funded debt, zive a total of $88,071,861 49. The total mileage of the St. Louis, Iron Mountain and Seuthern, including side track, is 1,142 miles. The total mileage of the Missouri, Kansas and Texas is 1,530 miles. A few very simple calculations based upon these figures will give the following results. Surplus earnings Der mile 212 a. 10 cent N 1 e ful l 90 X. K. é 19,411 80 5/,563 8 All * this gives us something definite to go upon in determining the value of the road. Ifa jury of a dozen impartial men were selected and told to fix a value upon this property, in all fairness they would appraise it more than the highest figures givgn above. If a road can carry @ burden af $50,000 or $57,000, and pay operating besides, it is worth more than the figures 7 ven. Atair appraisement would certainly select the higher price. It will be borne in mind by the reader that the table given above is calculateq apon the whole mileage of the roads, not mere that contained in Missouri, and, as the portion in Mis- souri is in a richer and more populous country than that without the bounds of this State, the average per mile should be much higher. THE FIGURES IN THE CASE. There are, however, other sources of information open tous. The report éf the Railroad Commis- sioners and the report of the State Board of Equal- ization give the data from which the following table has been constructed, Slight discrepancies will be found in the results, as these’two bodies have fieured from a different mileage basis. These dis- erepancies are small, however, and work both ways, go that they neutralize each other, and have no bearing upon th the argument. . 8 88 Burden per tile, stock and debt.

If the ity of St. Louis were assessed in the same way itwould mean that our assessment of $190,000,000 rep- reseuted property here to the value of $1,86 0,000,000. It would mean that every man, woman and chlid in thie city, ifthe property were divided, would be entitled to $2,600 a piece. It would mean that the farmer's horse assessed at $30 was really worth $200. It would show that u sewing girl’s machine assessed at 80 was worth $40. This is é@qualization. Favored railroad corporations are equalised so that they pay taxes on fifteen per cent of their property. The farmer in the State and the mechanic in the clty pay the taxes lifted from the shoulders of the railroads. The whole meaning of equalization has been perverted in this work, and a more unfair, a more unequal Assessment could hardly be made. Look at the facts. . WHAT THE STATS LOSES. Mr. Jay Gould's two roads, the Iron Mountain and the M., K. & T., pay no taxes on thirteen millions of property upon which they should pay taxes. Tuat means that the State, throngh the work of this board of alleted equaliza- tion, collects from these two goads $52,000 a year less than it should collect from them. Aud that is not the worst of it; the assessment that is made for the State and county must be the same. Hence these two roads evade paying county and sohool taxes on $13,000,000 of taxable property. Taking a very low rate for the whole tax for all purposes—it differs, of course, in every county—and say that 81 50 on the $100 is the tax evaded, in all $195,000 taxes is not paid by the Iron Mountain aad M., X. & T., which should be paid by them, and which it it is unjust and unfair that they do not pay. Unjustand unfair and unequal, because when the Board of Equalization set about its work, it could only favor these corporations by lowering their assessments, it could not wipe out, as readily, the needs of the State. The $195,000 which these two railroads do not pay is paid by the farmers, the mechanics and the business men, in addition to their own proper burden.. The load is taken off the shoulders of Mr. Jay Gould, where it belongs, and put upon those who have paid their honest share of the expense of government. TAX EVASION. To make the matter more apparent, we must come back to statistics again. Taking the unit of railway measuremeht, the mile. and going through the records, we find the following facts: Iron Mountain. M., X & T. Value per mile from the Companies‘ reports $57,563 80 Value per mile as estimated by the R R. Commission- ers (average) . Value per mile as s equalized by the State Board of Equalization (average).... State tax evaded per mile on the difference between the two latter valuations. . Estimated State and County tax evaded per mile 226 82 No rhetoric, no argument, can add anything to these figures. They tell theirown storyin a way that cannot be gainsaid or withstood. Through the foolish and unfair equalization which has been accomplished in the face of the Railroad Commis- sioners’ report, each mile of these roads has suc- ceeded in escaping three times as much taxation as it pays. The Iron Mountain Road is assessed less than one-seventh of ite real value. The Missouri, Kansas aad Texas Road is assessed less than one- eighth of its real value. How many farmers, how many merchants, how many mechanics, 7,642 00 7,800 00 91 01 60 35 how many laborers can boast of such good treat ment at the hands of the Board of Equalization? What holder of property in Missouri, not a railroad corporation can show an assessment one-cighth of the value? A PRODUCTIVE TRINITY. The Missouri Pacific dodges the tax on $14,000,000 of property, the Iron Mountain on 39,000. 000. The Missouri, Kansas and Texas on $4,000,000. In all this system evades the tax on $27,000,000 which the Railroad Commissioners report, and which the Board of Equalization has generously refused to count. Mr. Gould and bis associates are under obli- gations to the members of the Board for a saving of fully $405,000 a year, and more. There are very few other of Mr, Gould's employes who can make as good a showing. Other railroads will receive their share of atten- tion hereafter. Do not be deceived by other labels.

In looking at this costume of the Ration- al Dress Society one does not at once perceive that instead of one garment en- wrapping both the lower limbs there is a petticoat for each leg. One may enjoy much of the advantage of the dual skirt without the fact being evident by wearing a long polonaise over it; but those who have the courage of their opinion will shorten or dispense with the polonaise, or upper skirt, and present an ap- pearance similar to the tennis player in the cut, whose elegance of form is not in the least im- fired by her costume, if in fact it is not en- need » it. The skirts should quite clear — the ground and should reach the instep or thereabouts. Each half of the skirt should be, according to the standard = the seciety, a yard or uarters of a yard at the salle. Others who be- — in going to the full ex treme of a fashion in ado t. ing this costume and — with the tunic or per skirt will no doubt 8 breviate the double skirt also and add to their attrac- tivenesss with the saving of material. A very striking and impressive appearance can be gained in this man- ner. It is at once evident that a strict rule cannot be framed for all of us. Of course, the short skirt on a tall, thin woman, or the long skirt on a ad bert — * ** would se ously mar the — effect an’ go far to die courage the obere of the new dress reform. The contrast as shown in the cut is very striking when seen for the first time. If there were no other reasons for the use of this garment, the fact of its advantage to a woman running for a train would be enough to recommend it. The noto- riously cow-like gait of a woman when running could at once be remeuied, and at the same time result in an improved speed. There would, in all probability, be anew met adopted in the disposal of a woman's peor so that a man cou d d it when the dress hung on a hook in less than a2 —::g: hour, thus saving both time and temper.. This alone would grey y the costume to every mar- ried man who to find the last year's ice bill in his wife's pid dress, while the iceman stands in the front yard uttering thoughts that make his mules blush. the men of this country really thought for a moment on the merits of this — barreied dress, there would rise from every hamlet a unanimous how! that would not ng until every woman encased her nether limbs in Clothing should follow the lines “ot the body. This rule cuts at the root of the evils of dress. The theory as to the origin of tight waists, humps and excrescences in line of ornament is that the directly out of the petticoat. Lady H 1 wrote: Without a waist, and with a skirt com- pletely hiding the outline of the legs, the figure be- comes One long straight piece from shoulder to come “In proof of the truth of the 3 that undue hiding of part of the body undue exposure and mor- bid desire for display = the other, let it membered that when tied back skirts werein fash- ion waists were permitted to grow perceptibly big- ger and low necked dress- es Were permitted to g° very much out of fash- ion.

That Mountain Mule. “Kaock’s em all higher than a Rocky Mountain mule can kick.” As I was passing a car stable between Twenty- eighth and Twenty-nioth streets, in St. Louis, one gay last summer, the above remark caught my ear. urning, I saw two of the stablemen in earnest con- versation. Now, I confess to the friendly feelin for the mule. His meek endurance of insults an lash whips exegites my admiration. To be sure he is homely, but then he does not aspire to shine in so- ciety, and never even presents his claims“ to office upon the more highly favored politicians of his ward. But, when his soul is stirred within him, he can, and does, kick, It is his one protest aga grinding despotism, Why should vain man ridicule and asperse his only accomplishment? Filled with these reflections, I demanded of the speaker why he, too, joined the thoughtless crowd in talking lightly of the mule. He replied: “M name is Charley smith. : and I work in this stable. meant no offense to the mule. I was just tel Bill, here, about that big attack of rheumatism had awhile ago, and what cured it. I told him nothing touched it till 1 struck Benson's Plasters, and they soon fixed me up all right. *Plasters, Mr. Smith,“ said I—‘‘as t Harte sang about the Mississippi steamboat engineers are ‘prett much Alike.“ “Searcely,” said Smith; “there no end of odds between em. I tried all they had in the drug stores, and Benson's leaves em ali out o sight.“ “In what way?" “Why, when you first put em on they warm up the sore spot, they go down to the pain and stop 1 and make your muscles limber and * again. The rest of the plasters don't do that. Theres no use talking, they just knock all the rest higher'n a Rocky Mountain mule can kick.” Smith was incorrigible and 3 He * and in mentioning the incident only regret that it gives Benson’s pilaster people the benefit of a free advertisement. .

At 9:80 this morning, Mr. Jimmy Spalding, the Coroner's clerk, entered the Police Court then in Session, and informed the marshals that one of their prisoners had just escaped from the bull-pen, the barred and guarded room adjoining the Police Court in which the prisoners are held pending the trial of their cases. The announcement was a startling one and caused the marshals in charge of the court to raise their eyebrows in genuine astonishment, and there is no doubt that they would have begun an early inquiry iuto the matter and instituted a search for the missing prisoner within a quarter of an hour or so had not Detective Billy Desmond, who bappened to hear Spalding's remark, made a rush forthe pen and entered it just in time to prevent a second escape. From a hole in the grated window opening from the peu into the courtyard on the Jaii’s northeast corner, a pair of wriggling legs were banging which would have disappeared in another moment but that Desmond clasped one of them and with the remark, “come back bere” him back. The fellow proved to be Con. ‘oley, a well-known thief, arrested on a charge of disturbing the peace and resisting a police o r but whose record includes a term in the Missouri Penitentiary for grand larceny, and who is weil remembered by the police as the partner, five years ago, of Mike Coffee, whowas killed by Officers Burke and Henley. Like all old hands at such business, Foley submitted to the inevitable grace- fully, and after a short but PREGNANTLY FANE ALLUSION to his bad hick, informed Desmond that the man who succeeded in getting away was one William Clark, alias Skippy Dean, an announce- ment which largely increased Desmond's Interest in the proceedings. the escaped man, although now only about 22 years of age, being one. of the most notorious robbers and tilltappers in town and famous as one of the four men who. escaped from jail with John D. Shea, Officer Doyle's murderer, at $ o’clock on the afternoon of election day. Novem- her 7, The pen From which Skippy skipped is under the charge of Deputy arshal George Hickel, an Official whose exertions are so intently fixed at all times in moderating the tone of conversations carried on where they could mot possibly interfere with the court proceedings that he has no time to devote to what he considers e less important work of preventing his prisoners m escaping. Some seven minutes after hearing that a prisoner had escaped and been seen running south along Elevench street, the gray-bearded Deputy Marshal, who concentrates his efforts dur- img the court sessions upon taking care that — sits down upon 3 marule- toppe steam register, made a wild rush into Clark avenue, and, when last seen, he was moving north along Twelfta street at a speed of about three miles an hour. The only eye-witnesses of Skippy's escape were Coroner's Clerk Spalding and a lady. Tue iatter was sitting alone in the Coroner's office when, to her great surprise, a man aped in through the window, aud, clearing the room at a couple of bounds, turned in THE MAIN PASSAGE toward Eleventh street. The lady screamed, and Mr. Spalding, who was in the Coroner's main office, ran out in ume to see Dean rushing soutu on Eleventh stree:. He followed, but the fugitive had too big a start, and the last ne sa of him was as he haited for a momeut on the corner of Eleventh aud Spruce steeets before disappearing up the latter street. This was the last seen of Skippy. A visit to the bull-pen showed that the method of escape was of avery simple nature. The bars across the windows are oid and rusty, and the combined strength of Skippy, Foley and another prisoner to g window he ran out buildings, ner's Office and escaped as already While tiie noise attending the operation Srogress Marshal Hicwel’s quick ear was for @ nivment startled but, after shoutiag Don't taik so loud in there,“ througu tbe grited door of the „ he subsided into his chrouic condition of watch({ulness. William Clark, alias Skippy Dean, although so young, is considered one of the boldest and quickest young thieves in the city. He was one of the parties connected with the robbery of a jeweler on Cheuteau avenue, near Twenty-second street, in which two of the robbers cdleaued out the establishment while the other one eld a pistol at the proprietor's head. He - Was arrested and jailed, but bruke jail as before Meutioned in company with John D. Shea, who is now servingatermin the Pittsburg Penitentiary for burglary, and will be arrested at its expiration and brou.ht here for trial ou the murder charge; John Cunningnam. who was killed while tryiag TO BEAT HIS WAY East on an Erie Railroad train; John Burns, who isin the Missouri Penitentiary for three years for highway robbery and Arthur Bond, who is in the same place on a conviction for larceny. The escape then made was of a character very similar to that of this morning, the prisoners bending a bar, of one of the jail windows and reaching the street by way of the outbuilding roofs and the Coroner's office. “Skippy’’ was arrested in Chicago by De- tective Shea of the Chicago police force and brovght back here, where he was given a Work House sentence, doing six months time. Since then he was arrested several times for tapping tilis, and yesterday Sergeante Burke ran him in for associating with thieves. On account of Sergeant Burke's sickness, the cases against both Dean and Foley were continued, and there is no doubt they considered that this was ominous action and decided that a break for liberty was in order. Shortly after the occurrence Foley was brought into.court, fined $50 and given three hours ia which to leave the city. We police are making vigorous efforts to recapt- ure Dean, and expect io have him before sunset. In the meantime the Coroner's office has been officially thanked for informing the Police Court marshals of the escape of the prisoner, and po- litely requested to go on in the good work in future. SIDEWALK PAVEMENT. Why Mayor Francis Refused to Sigua the Amendatory Ordinance. There is some dissatisfaction among a few members of the Municipal Assembly over what they claim is a piece of shrewd work by StreetCom- missioner Turner in killing an ordinance by induo- ing theMayor to fail to sign it within the limit of ten days after its passage.

How Mr. Randolph and an Unknown Had a Fist Duel en Sixth and Olive. A very singular and a very good fight took place Monday afternoon on the corner of Sixth and Olive streets, which, although short, afforded a great deal of exercise to the principals and much amusement to the spectators. It appears that Mr. Fred W. Randolph, a gentleman well known in commercial circles of this city, was walking up Olive Street, and another gentleman, said by some tobe Mr. Hilton, the attorney, was coming the ether way. Mr. Randolph has a pet corn and a pet toe. Con- current testimony goes to show that this toe cannot be stood upon with impunity by any one, It also appears that a very pretty little lady was passing just about the time that the two gentlemen ap hed each other, and, naturally they looked at her and not at each other. The consequence was a collision in which Mr. Randolph's toe was step 2 The trouble began immediately after wa r. Randolph let out with his right, and the unknown was struck in the face, The unknown had an umbrella with which he countered heavily upon Mr. Randolph's head. The two grappled and waltzed out upon the street, A vigorous combat was continued for fully two or three minutes, before the police interfered. Officer Battersby, who isstationed at Sixth and Olive streets, sa to areporter: “It was rather early on Monday after- noon, I was summoned by one of the Humane society officers to arrest a man Griving a galled horse down Sixth street. While I was busy with the man somebody called out, There's a fight!” and, looking round. Isaw two men clinched and fighting on Olive street. The Humane Society man and I ran to the men and pulled them apart, I catching Randolph, and he the other man. The first thing we knew was that the other man had disappeared. I heard afterwards that he had clim ona ing car, and got away that way. The man I arrested gave his name as F. W. Ran dolph of 16 8. Commercial alley. He was a very gentlemanly nice man. No body appeared to rosecute him, and I couldn't swear that I saw any lows, nor did I hear any bad language, so he was discharged from arrest.” A visit to the address given by Mr. Randolph, 16 S. Commercial, failed to locate him, but it was as- certained that his headquarters are if Kansas City, and that he is a business man well known through- out the State. It was stated on fairly good authority that there was a deeper reason for this row than tnat given by Mr. Randolph, but it was impossible to run this story to earth in any responsible quarter.

Heirs of an Assignor Claiming a Waste of Assets. Judge Thayer to-day rendered a decision sustain- ing a demurrer in the case of Murdock etal. against John G. Priest. This was an action upon an assignor's bond, brought by heirs-at-law of the assignor, The plaintiffs averred that the assets had been wasted and that none of the creditors of the assignor proved their claims against his estate and the time for so proving had expired. The Court construes this asagainst the assigned estate. If the creditors failed to prove their claims against the assigned estate they never become entitled to any dividends out of the same and cannot be heard to complain of any waste of assets, because it did them no harm. The bill, however, does not show any right in the heirs-at-iaw to maintain the suit. An assignee holds assigned property upon trust to pay creditors and accountto the assignor for any surplus that may remain after the payment of debts and ex- uses of administration. if it be conceded under o averments in the bill that the assignee must ac- count to the assignor or his representatives for the entire assigned estate because creditors did not prove their claims, yet upon principle it would seem clear that the eg of action upon tie assignee’s bond to compel him to account is in the rgonal representative of the assignee, and not in is beirs-at-law. he or’s administrator or executor is en- titled to whatever surplus remaiued of the assigned estate and he should Oring the action if * has been any waste of the assigned estate. fact that the creditors did not prove their ola ims against the assigned estate does not preclude them from proving against the assignor's estate while under- going administration at the hands of the personal 5 It the administrator is entitled to ony ped any au = be oe — 1 the und so recove early applicable tot 5 ment of tue decedent's death. we A Good Young Mas Gone Wrong.

The St. : SENT 10 JAIL» | John A. Scudder Refuses to Answer a Question This Morning, un. And is Immediately and Constructively Made a Jail Bird—A Curious Turn in the Ames-Scudder Litigation—The Point in Dispute. One of the numerous suits between Mra. Luey V. Semple Ames and John A. and William H. Scudder took a very sensational turn today, which resulted in the commitment of Mr. John A. Seudder to jail for contempt of court, by Referee Arba N. Crane before whom evidence was being taken. Mr. Scudder is now constructivély a prison- er in the custody of the Sheriff. The case is the oldest one of the Ames-Scudder litigation and was brought in 1872 by Mrs. Ames against the Scudders as trustees of the estate of Henry Ames to compel them to render an account ot their trustee ship and to iaquire into the disposition Crane, as referee, to inquire to the trustees’ accounts, In the month of July, — the trustees, William H. Scudder and John A. Scudder, sold to Gerard B. Allen 646 shares of the Memphis and St. Louis Packet Com- pany stock at $85 pershare. Of this amount, the proceeds of 145 shares went into the individual ac- count of Henry Ames, jr., and the ce of 585 was charged by the trustees to themselves. he plaintiff claims that instead of the sale being made to GIRARD B. ALLEN as represented, one of the trustees was the pur chaser, and that the stock was seld to him for less than its actual legal value. Sho intends to prove this charge; to show the actual value ofthe stock which was sold and the proceeds of which were charged to the account of Henfy Ames, jr., and to have the estate credited with the difference between the amount charged to the account of Henry Ames, jr., and the actual value of the stock. Under a former order of reference in 1880 the plain- tiff, Mrs. L. V. 8, Ames, through her coun- sel, proved the fact of the sale and rice paid. The referee found accordingiy arged the trustee in the account with the proceeds of the sale. Thecase went t h the courts as before stated, and in the hearing before Crane the plaintiff's attorney, Hiram J. Grover claims that the question of the sale of the stock of the Memphis and St. Louis Packet Company is still open, while Chester H. Krum, counsel for the Scudders, holds that under the mandate of the Court of Appeals remanding the case to the Circuit Court, the matter of the sale cannot be entered into, and he instructed Mr. John A. Scud- der to decline to answer any question relating to it. On June 9 depositions in the case were taken before rane as referee, at his Third and Pine streets. of the examination of John A. Scudder, Mr. Grover of counsel for Ames, asked him the following questions: “Was any particular number of shares of stock of the Memphis and St. Louis Packet Company of- fered for sale!“ The question was objected to by Judge Krum as incompetent, irrelevant and immaterial. Mr. Grever stated that he intended to enter Into the matter of the sale of the Memphis and St. Louis stock and to prove the sale a fraudulent one. Referee Crane sta that tke plaintiff would be permitted to ask the question and that the witness must either answer it or declineto answer it. The examination, however, was deferred until July 2, without any action being taken and a meeting on that * was again postponed until yester A when Mr. Glover again put the question moneys | the number of shares of stock of the Memphis an St. Louis Packet Company which were offered for sale. Mr. Scudder again refused to answer and Referee Crane stated that ne would give him until to-day to answer it or take the consequences of being adjudged guilty of contempt of court. SENT TO SAIL. At 11 o'clock this morning Messrs. John A. Scuid- der, his brother, William H. Scudder, Judge Ches- ter Krum, Henry Ames, Hiram Grover, Arba N. Crane, a Deputy Sheriff and a Post-Dispaton re- orter assembled in the office of Arba N. Crane. \verybody sat down and Mr. Crane, after a short conversation with Mr. John A. Scudderin subdued tone of voice, quietly proceeded to write out a com- mitment to jail of the person of John A. Scudder, Ww ted, the referee handed it Deputy Sheriff with afew remarks about its nature, and that geatle- man stepped up to Mr. Scudder and said: ‘Well, Mr. Scudder?” with a rising inflection and a ques- tioning look on his face. Mr. Scudder said pieas- an Going to take me tojeil? Well, 1 guess u get out in time tor the ball game this afterneon, eh!“ then wended its way to Four Courts, where Mr. Scudder was turned over to Sheriff Harrington and released. Aithough allowed the freedom of ihe city. Mr. Scudder is comstructively in jail and a prisoner of the Shetiff’s, who is responsi to the court for his person. Judge Krum said that the defendants contest the ruling of the referee in seeking to compel Mr. Scud- der to answer the question of Mr. Grover concern- ing the sale of the Packet company stock, and that a writ of habeas corpus will be 1 for in the Court of Appeals before Judge Thompson, at 4 o'clock this afternoon.
