By Telegraph to the Post-Dispatch. New Yor, July 16—‘‘Send for a priest. I'm shot—dying.” This is what Mrs. Adele Erwin shouted as she ran fhrough the ladies’ parior of the Allman House on Broadway and Tenth streets yesterday afternoon. Blood was seaking through her thin light dress at the shoulder. There was a confused rush of ts and servants towards the ung woman. ing the parlor she s to rooms of Mrs. 8. C. Brown, the proprietress of the hotel, where she sank upon the floor. mement later a pistolreport was heard on the floor above, followed by the sound of a falling body. A policeman ran out of the house and in a few moments an ambulance from Bellevue Hospital rattled up to the door. A tall, fine-looking man oa. put salt . — ayne, a w undryman, ent at Nos. 52-54 Grove street, with his family next-door. He was twice M and Addie are the children of the first wife; Edward and William of ago while Adele was she was introduced to August, ounger wore a black mustache and countenance. He pretended to be a traveling salesman of a jewelry firm and occupied elegantly furnished rooms. Adele fell in love with him, One day Adele read of the elopement of her old friend, Victoria Morosini, with Coachman Hul- skamp Schilling. On election day she visited the house where Erwin boarded. He asked her if she had read of tae Morosini affair, and she replied that she “Well, what do you think of it?” “I think that Vie was a very foolish girl.” “You wouldn’t do such a thing, I su r Adele blushed and answered: “That depends.” „ ee e make you an o * “Time enough to think of that when you make one. There was silence for a few moments, when Erwin burst out suddenly: Adele. what's the use of talking this way? you grow I LovE You. Let us get married.” A few moments later Erwin and Miss O’Thayne left the bou-e, When they re- turned they d that they had been married.

I shall see that you do not come to want. But I will never give a cent to your bus- band.” Two or three weeks after the marriage Erwin moved into the Allman House, which is a — 8 hotel, of which Mrs. C. Brown is proprietor, and J. 1 Brokaw the manager. For a short time things went pleasantly enough. Mrs. Erwin frequently visited her relatives. The resentment against ker soon died, but not their hostility to her husband. By degrees the bride's eyes were opened. Her husband was nota salesman witha large He had no occupation except gambling. and his income was meager and uncertain. Some- times be would have nothing and then Mrs. Erwin would appeal to ber father. She never appealed in vain, but the crushing humiliation 2 her spirits down and she wept as she told Mrs. Brown her troubles. Erwin at last, with brutal frankness, admitted that he had no means of support. He had married her because her father was rich and he hoped to get some of the money. The little sums that Mr. "Thayne gave his daughter were seized by Erwin. When the racing season opened he staked his wife's money. He won very rarely. and when he did his winnings went as easily as they came. Last Friday night Erwin and his wife got into a cab and drove over to 56 Grovestreet. For the first time since the marriage the bridegroem set foot in his father - in- qw s house. There was a long inter- view, and a ce was deciared for the sake of Adele, whom Erwin professed to love devote/lly, even though she had not brought hima fortune. It was arranged that Mr. O’Thayne and his two daughters should sail in the Servia on Saturday. FATHER AND DAUGHTER KISSED AFFECTIONATELY at the end of the conversation, when Adele re-entered the cab with her husband and was driven back to the hotel. Erwin, in talk- ing wita Mrs. Brown, complained bitterly of Mr. O’Thayne’s hardness. He talked as though he con- sidered his father-in-law under the most sacred obligations to give him money. Saturday morning Mrs. Erwin was early awake. Her husband inquired the reason. “Because I want to meet papa and Blanche at the dock,” she replied. Erwin laughed and said: “You have iots of time. The Servia doesn't sail until 5 o'clock this p.m.” At that hour they went to the pier to find that the vessel had sailed at 3:30 o’ciock with Mr. and Miss O’Thayne on board.

She did so, ac- companied by her haif-brother Edward. In the ladies lor on the second floor her husband met her. He kissed her in a matterof fact way and shook hands with Edward. After a short, rambiing conversation, Erwin said abruptly: “Eddie, I want to talk with my wife alittle while; will you excuse me?” ‘“Certainiy,”’ responded the obliging Eddie.

A Woman Who Figured in a Tragedy Sued for a Divorce. By Telegraph to the Post-Dispatch. Batavia, N. July 164—Hiram A. King and Harriet A. Bailey were married at the bride’s home, at Henrietta, Monroe County, this State, on October 7, 1872, and, after a bridal tour came to Batavia to reside. King was junior partner in the firm of A. H. King & Son, who were then, as now, largely en- gaged in the malting business here. Though not handsome in looks, there was something fascinat- ing about Mrs. King, and she won many friends whose esteem she held until a few years ago when damaging stories about her were in. circulation. Whether they were true or not nobody seemed to know, but circumstances put credence in them. Mr. and Mrs. King boarded at a hotel fora few years and then went to housekeeping. In Aug- ust, 1876, a daughter was born to them, a pretiy girl who, when avians saw her last. was bright and vivacious like the mother. Mrs. King's reputa- tion was somewakat tarnished by the stories in cir culation .concerning her, At the time Newton Rowell shot Lawyer Lynch, of Utica, for intimacy with Mrs. Rowell, in October, 1883, Mrs. King's presence at the Rowell residence on tae evening of the tragedy cast anether, though rather indefinite, STAIN UPON HER CHARACTER. She took supper there that night with Mrs. Rowell and though she su uently stated that she was there assisting Mrs. Rowell, there existed a be- lief in town that she as well as Mrs. Rowell ex- pected a gentioman friend. King called for his wife early in the evening, however. The Rowell childrea, who, by the way, are now in Batavia with their father, were at Mrs. tragedy Mrs. Rowell went there also. women were quite firm friends. Moretalk about Mrs. King was created last year when Wm. J. Pardy, station agent for the Central Railroad here, began to pay marked attention to her, accompany- ing her to various places, and often being seen with her. Pardy was drawing a —— of $70 a month. He dressed woll, went ont with the boys frequently and treated. Early in September, after a domestic rupture no doubt, Mrs. King removed to Baltimore, taxing her culld and a car of household goeds with her, Later in the same month Pardy was discharged by the railroad compaay. An examination of his ac- counts showed him to be ABOUT $2,000 snort, a portion of which, it is presumed, he had expended to maintain his relations with .

How She Aided Her Sister Anza to Elope With a Lover, And Most Completely Deceived Watch- ful Papa Andrews—A Charming Lit- tle Story, in Which a Very Mad Father and Two Clever and Pretty Girls Are Leading Figures. By Telegraph to the Post-Dispatch. New Haven, July 16—An eloping epidemic is afflicting Connecticut. Local newspapers have been filled lately with chronicles pointing to this fact and the divorce courts will soon ve busy with the regulation sequels. In this town alone a score or so of homes have been broken up within a month or two by hurried departures upon the part of wavering spouses. One interesting case is on record where a man was married on Monday to one wom- an, eloped on Tuesday with a neighbor's wife, and on Thursday entered into a new combination, which took him West with the sister of the woman he had married on Monday. There have been some episodes of this character in which the representa- tives of well-known Connecticut families have fig- ured as principals. The enterprises have not been confined to New Haven.

When Mr. ——— intruded in the Andrews domi- cile the keen-sighted head of the house saw he was amanofthe world. The same keen sight showed him that Mr, Ferguson, with his penchant for soci- ety, would not make uise a compatible spouse. Wherefore, in an off-hand way, but with no lack of emphasis, an edict went forth in the Andrews fam- ily against THE FASCINATING JAMES RAE. ö Young Mr. Ferguson is said to be fairly well to do in this world’s goods, and is connected in some official ition more or less important with a New York insurance compa- ny. He is said to be a bright, pushing business man, with prospects that would not be found gen- erally dispieasing in a candidate for sou-in-law dis- tinction. When he first came a-wooing at the Au- drews mansion he had cards of introduction to Mr. Andrews from old business friends, but huffy Mr. Andrews, unwilling tosacrifice his pretty Louise upon so earthly a son-in-law, declined to worry his eyes in their perusal In answer to ber father’s command Miss Louise promised she would not re- ceive attentions from Mr. Ferguson.

But Anna has seen toe much of;the world’’—and the old gentieman laughed gleefully. “She's seen too much of the world to go te assum the burden of a husband, and a house, and all that.“ That is where Mr. Andrews made his mistake.

A Man Who Stabbed Seventeen Persous and Shot Twenty-Eight Finally Haaged. PHILADELPHIA, Pa., July 16.—Joseph Taylor, who, on May 31, 1884, brutally murdered Keeper Michael F. Deran at the Eastern Penitentiary by beating out his brains with a wooden bobbin and a bar of iron, was hangedin the corridor of the county prison at 10 o’clock this morning. The keeper had administered to Taylor nauseating medicine which the prisen doctor had prescribed,and thereby curred Taylor’s animosity. On the date mea" tioned, Doran entered Taylor's cell, and, as he did so, Taylor, who had been lying in wait, sprang for- ward and struck him with a heavy woodbn bobbin which had been used in the prisoh works for reel- ing yarn. Doran staggered forward, and Taylor, siezing an iron bar, literally beat the crown of the man's heed off with it. Then, leaving the keeper groaning on the blood-stained floor, he went back to his cell and lay downon his bed. Ten minutes later an overseer found the two men in these positions. At the trial a determined effort was made on the part of Taylor’s counsel to prove his insanity as a defense, which Taylor did his best to strengthen by his behavior in the dock, but the jury returned a verdict of guilty. Taylor was only 28 years of age. He was of a vicious disposition, and the police records show that he stabbed seventeen persons and shot twenty-eicht during the ten years before the murder. Thecrime for which he was incarcerated, when he killed Keeper Doran, was committed twenty-four hours afterhe had con- cluded a term of three years for stabbing a police- man and special officer. His crimes began with his cutting a boy companion when but 15 years old. A FATAL QUABRREL Capsized in a Squall—Shot by the Sheriff Texas Topics.

A Collision Between the Gentiles and Mor. mons Imminent, Omana, Nes., July 16.—Gen. Howard, command- ing the department of the Platte, returned to Omaha last evening from Salt Lake City in which place he spent the Fourth of July. He says there is grave apprehension there over the feeling exist- ing between the Gentiles and the Mormons, which has been greatly intensified by the Mormons half- masting the American flag. Gen, Howard says serious trouble may occur at any hour on the slightest pretext. The Gentiles and United States soldiors are very indignant. In anticipation of an outbreak being precipitated any day the War De- partment has made preparations for it. By order of Gen. Howard, the troops that were to leave Fort Douglas and Fort Laramie for Kansas to sup- press the Cheyennes have been retained at these posts. A collision between the Mormons and Gen- tiles is looked for on the 24th of this month, which is a great day for the Mormons, it being the anni- versary of the settlement of Utah. They come into Salt Lake City by the thousands on that day from all parts ef the Territory. Sbould they attempt te repeat any such performance as they carried out on the Fourth of July there will probably be blood shed.

Startling Offer of the Pall Mall 3 Reporter to the Commission. He Actually Purchases a Young Girl tor the High Dignitaries. Astounding Proofof the Iniquity Ex- posed by the Pall Mall Gazette in London—A Maiden Bought by Tele- graph— The Meeting of the Commis sion of Inquiry. Lonbow, Jury 16.—The Pall Mall Gazette has issued in a single edition a complete publication of the full text of all its revelations, The edition 8 having an enormous sale, and the proceeds are to de devoted towards defraying the expenses of the . Sotimission which is examining the data upon ¢ Which the Gazette's articles are based. THE COMMISSION yeitertay afternoon spent three hours at the Man- sid House examining under oath, before the Lord Mayor and the City Recorder, one of the Pall Mall Gazette's reportorial commissioners. The Lord Mayor presided over the examination. Neither of the dignitaries pres- converse with members about what transpired any further than to say the examination was con- fined to the work of sifting the evidence gathered by the reporter in support of the Gazette's state- ment that among the criminal ectabiiahments pur- veying to vice was THE PROCURATION FIRMS OF MESDAMES &.

The personages engaged in this inquiry say they will not speak upon the subject for publication until the commission of inquiry finishes its work, which will require anether week. One of the commissioners of the Pall Mall Gazette reports to that paper to-day the following facts, the truth of which he declares to be incontestible. In order to show the Mansion House Committee that the diabolical business exposed by the Gazette WAS STILL CARRIED ON AS BOLDLY AS EVER, notwithstanding the revelations, the reporter offered to procure from the establishment of X and Z as many certified girls as the committee might name, delivered anywhere. to their order. There being some hesitation about the acceptance of this prop- osition, the reporter, while the committee was stil in session, went to a procuress and ordered a pretty girl, 14 years of age, certified by a physician to be good, to be delivered to his order as agent for a gentleman of sixty. THE MADAME ACCEPTED THE ORDER and in a short time produced the girl certified. The reporter investigated the child's history and ascertained that her father was dead and her mother was a poof working woman. The. tri was dressed in an old black frock, Having completed the pur - chase ef the gifi, the reporter hastened to arrange for her delivery anywhere and to any pefson designated by the committee.

THE TROUBLA. between Mn ubs ahd Mr. Creveling arises from Mr. Clubb’ management of the affair of the Wiggins Company, in which Mr. Croveling owns & large amount of stock. At the time that the Wiggins Company, some time since, leased the Madison County Ferry, the Iilidois ana St. Louis Road and the Venice and Carondelet Belt Road, Mr. Cteveling entered a strenuous protest, claimihg What the lease was cnethary do the interests of the stockholders of the Company and was made Wholly in the Interests of Mr. Clavb himself.

Mr. Clubb purchased a large amount of the stock of the Illinois and St. Lous Railway Com- pany, which, Mn Oreveling yn „ a bankrupt coneern, and he then brought about the lease to the Wiggins Company, with the purpose, according to Mr. Creveling, of enhaneing the value of the Mliindis and St. Louls stock he had purchased. Mr. Creveling and one or two ether stockholders objected to the é6%summation OF the lease, and ik i stated that Mr. Clubb or his friends paid two of these stockholders, each having a holding of abont twenty shares, $210 & share. The market value of this Bock & $185 to $200, oF at least so it ie quoted by Thitd street brokers. Mr. Crevéliie stated to the reporter that he had begun suit against the cofipany te annul the lease. He also said, shaking three letters, marked Wiegins Ferry Company. in the reporter fade, that he knew something that might put Sam Clubb into serious trouble before he got through with hint. e Rr THE STATE BAR ASSOCIATON, Indorsing Governor Reynoids for Minister to Spain—This Moerhiag’s Proceedines.

Still, there is plenty of ground left for uneasiness. Wat Tut Pized Bars. Lonbow, July 16.—The Dally Telegraph says that the negotiations between Eugtand and Russia re garding the Afghan frontier question have become serious. Russia is referring new claims and re- fuses to yield to Lord Salisbury, Whote tone, although studiously friendly, is firm. The Stand- ard, in dommenting upon the dame subject, declares that England will never condone a second edition of the Penj-deh outrage. OF THE GRAVEST CHARACTER.

The deal réferrea to was the transfer of the plant of the St. Louis Company tothe Laclede, with a view to an ultimate operation of the two companies under the charter of the Laclede, which gives it a perpetual right to matiufactute and sell gus in thie city. As is alfeady well understood by the iatelligent por tion of the public, the St. Louis Gas Light Com- pany charter epires in 1890; then this corpora- tion goes out of existence.

If Mr. TURNER can get a patent on this idea,he can materially reduce the cost of insurance in St. Louis.

He states over his own signature that the Booxx, WaLkeRr, SEYBERT combination were pledged to the Kansas City location. To this charge, silence is not a sufficient answer.

The misguided and atrabilous organ which wheezed forth its asth- matic protest against the Statue of Liberty is very silent now. ACcoRDING to Mr. TURNER, a street cannot be reconstructed unless the contractor pulls up three blocks at a time, on each side of the street railroad track. The idea is that the contractor loses money on every block he tears upandonly makes it up by the number of blocks he destroys. ———— Tux Globe-Democrat this morning publishes @ story to the effect that SHickis, HARRISON & Co. of this city were offered a bonus of $200,000 to pull up and move to Chicago. Mr. Cron could afford to pay them more thar that to move out on the line of his connecting road, At $3.20 a car he would get ali of his money back in two years. A TRAMP from Boston speaks regretfully of the esthetic delights of Bummer's Hill, on Bos- toh common, and appeals to us to secure from the City Fathers the introduction of that Rast- ern idea in this Western city. One reason why it iu HOt Needed here is that gentlemen of his way of thinking can nearly always obtain situ- — eee — Ern nal the rest of the = sprinkled over the public service with the fre | quency and piquauey of capers in a potato Salad. — THE TWO SITES. | The majority of the inspectors have seen fit to locate the new Penitentiary at Kansas City and to set aside the previous location at Cape u, on the Mississippi River. In view of the fact that a great deal of money will be expended about this institution, it will not be uninteresting to the tax-payers of the State to know some of the advantages between these two locations. In examining this matter we find that the $20,000 appropriated for a site will buy about twenty acres of ground at $1,000 an acre, and this is a low esti- mate near Kansas City, but would have bought at least 200 acres near Cape Girardeau. In other words, a farm large enough to raise all the agricultural products needed to feed the convicts Gould have been provided for the $20,000 near Cape Girardeau, and thus at least $10,000 to $15,000 saved the State per year. At Kansas City the institution will have to be lo- cated about two miles from the Missouri River, and the water needed will have to be brought from the Kansas City Water Works forever, while at Cape Girardeau the prison would have fronted on the river and would havesupplied itself with water at a small expense. On the site at Kansas City, if the site most eligible is selected, not a stone can be quarried, and the necessary stone must be brought from the State of Kansas or somewhere in Missouri, at acostof $8 a car. At Cape Girar- deau all the stone to build the prison was found on the ground. Noone hasin a reliable way declared himself reatly to employ convict labor at Kansas City, but at Cape Girardeau the em- ployment of all surplus convicts was guaran- teed by a bond in the sum of $150,000, and it was agreed that the highest price now paid for convict labor at Jefferson City should be paid. At Kansas City the State will have to build a sewer of at least two or three miles in length for the prison, at ng. small expense. At Cape Girardeau the build- ing of the sewer would have been a trifling expense. At Kansas City no raw material will be found on the site upon which to employ the convicts in case the contract system is abol- ished. At Cape Girardeau a site could have been procured that would have given employ- ment to the convicts. In short, the situation at Kansas City will be dependent altogether on material to be imported from élsewhere, while in Southeast Missouri ample raw material was close at hand. At Kansas City the institution will bea breeder of mischief, while at Cape Girardeau, being situated on one side of the State, the institution would have occasioned no harm and trouble to our laboring men nor been the cause of agitation. It is, however, useless to say more, as the institution has been located by a majority of the inspectors, and the people of the State will now have to foot the bill and meet the difficulties which are sure — —nt en n= mf R. R. TAX JUGGLING. The State Board of Equalization has decided to take no action in regard to the oniftted rail- road assessment until the State Supreme Court shall have heard and decided a pending case which is supposed to involve a definition of the Board’s legal powers in the premises. That case was made up and docketed with a clear understanding of the fact that there are cases still pending on that docket which were orally argued ten years ago, before Judges who have since died without rendering a decision. But as some troublesome people are inclined to raise an occasional clamor about the omitted rail- road assessment, the Board at last agrees to ask the court to advance the assessment case on the docket. . The only question involved is simply whether the Legislature and the State officers can, be- tween them, set aside and nullify, directly or indirectly, all the positive provisions and man- dates of Missouri's. Constitution in regard to the taxation and regulation of railroads; but, from present appearances, the State officers and the State Supreme Court will, between them, manage to postpone for a great many years a final and effective decision of that question. - 3 All the provisions of the Constitution against railroad consolidations and discriminations, and all its mandates making it the sworn duty of the Legislature to inforce these provisions by penal statutes and other effective remedies, have been ignored. The Constitution also positively forbids any surrender or suspension of the power to tax corporations or corporate prosperity; positive- ly forbids the exemption from taxation of any property not enumerated in Sec. 6, Art. 10; and expressly déprives the General Assembly of any power ‘‘toffelease or extinguish, in whole prt in part, the indebtefiness, liability or obli- gation of any corporation or individual to this State, or to any county of municipal corpora- tion therein.” Any act of the Legislature hav- ing such effect is null and void; no State officer is bound by it or can obey it without a breach of his primary obligations to obey and uphold the organié law of the State. And yet some- how a Democratic General Assembly and a Democratic State Government have, between them, managed to skip a year in the assess- suspend the power of taxing them to | that extent, and to releass* them | from their obligation to counties, cities and State for a year’s taxes that were assessud up- ties. The Gunn Committee's report to the last Legislature showed clearly that between 1878 and 1884 the railroads’ had been assessed and tated for but bn Fours, While other property had paid eleven years’ taxes. While the responsibility for the legislation by which the re- lease or exemption was secured to the railroads is with the Lagislatu: „e Beate een . ment of the railroads; to surrender or ee ee State Constitution and to retain in their pockets a large amount of monéy which should have beer paid years ago into the treasuries of the State, ite coun- ties and towns. BiGGER questions than the mere continuance ot the Ewing family in office or the selection of a Senator to control the distribution of Federal spoils, will enter into the election of the next Legislature. The équalization of taxes will enter into it. The question whether the Constitution of the State is to be set aside and ignored at the behest of Mr. Jay Goutn’s political attorneys will enter into it. The ques- tion whether the industries of Missouri are to be discriminated against and crushed or stifled by corpofations enfranchised in Missouri and con- trolled from New York, will enter into ib, The Constitution of this State has, for ten years past, or ever since the people adopted it, been treated as a dead letter, in order that monopo- lists might blackmail and crush out the manu- facturing and commercial enterprises of the State. The dominant party has been organ- ized as & monopoly „and the relatives of ,Democratic office- and leaders are to-day drawing more pay from the ralirdads than from the State. During all the years since the Constitution was adopted Senator COCKRELL has stumped the State in every con- test, but never uttered one word calling atten- tion to the gross violations of the Constitution, nor one word in favor of an efficient enforce- ment of its provisions. Before the next Legis- lature is elected there will be laid before the voters a great deal of information, which they have not now, in regard to the damage inflicted on the industries of Missouri by the political conspiracies and combinations that have pre- vented the enforcement of her fundamental law. Our heart bleeds for the gallant Col. W. F. Switrz_er. But a few days ago the Washing- ton correspondents announced that he had not only fitted up an elegantly and luxuriously furnished private room inthe Bureau of Sta- tistics, and supplied himself with boxes of lav- ender kids, bottles of the most ravishing per- fumery and an atomizer, but had discovered some loophole in the law through which he could annex to his clerical force five blooming and beautiful female copyists of his own per- sonal selection, without reference to the cold- blooded examiners of the Civil Service Board. The law allows him to call on them for five fe- male copying clerks at.$900 a year each, but he thought he saw a ilecseness in the text which would permit him to save the Government some money by appoint- ing five of his own choosing at $720 each. His view of the matter, as he presented it to First Comptroller DURHAM, was at first sanctioned by that legal luminary, and the gallant Col- onel went forth in high feather to make his selections. But an early frost fell on his budding hopes. A look at the law itself satis- fied Judge Dunnam that the five copyers must have $900 each, and must be selected by the cold-blooded Board, with reference en- tirely to the Useful and without any reference at all to the Beautiful. Col. Swrrzier had not, at last accounts, resigned his commission in disgust,. but that is only because bf is “a sticker from Stickersville,” and all who know him must know how he will suffer under the decision which imposes on him the faded and elderly female specimens that are most liable to win in a competitive examination of clerical skill. D ColLacronx HasBRooxk has offered his aasail- ants a very good excuse for his conduct in temporarily reappointing the Republicans whom he found doing the Internal Revenue work in his district, He does not deny that some of them are offensive partisAns who otight to go, and he is willing to admit that some may possibly be rascals who should be turned out. But asa new man at the head of the concern himself, he feels the necessity of following Mr. CLEVELAND’s example, and making changes among his subordinates only when he can do so intelligently and for the good of the service. He has to give a big bond. His sureties entertain a well-grounded belief that Mr. CLEVELAND is going’ to be very exacting towards every branch of the public service, proceeding summarily and mercilessly against every symptom of irregularity, crooked- ness or inefficiency in office. They probably had a good deal to do with the making of the bond of Mr. HasBRoox’s predecessor, and with the appointment of his subordinates, and will naturally insist on being consulted an every change that Hassroox makes, The folks who want places for Democrats under HasBproox should confer with his sureties on the subject, — THE new idea in journalism which tr n rms an amateur detective into an editor-in-chief doubtless has its advantages, but then again it has ite drawbacks. For instance, the ex-police- man of the Republican this morning, under the date line of Thursday, July 16, gives the readers of the paper his following beantiful little editorial article on Niagara Park: The formal surrender of the grounds to the State will be made to-morrow, July 16, with the accom- paniment of imposing ceremonies.

This is but the old familiar doctrine that an agent authorized to contract in the name of his principal for a team of horses cannot bind him to take and pay for an ox-team. Why any honest contractor should object to such a limitation of the agent’s power, is not explained by Senator GoRAuAN. — Grorce WiLLiamM Curtis, in an ora tion glorifying the Pilgrim Fathers, took occasion to remark that Massachusetts now has ‘‘a large population with no hereditary traditions connecting them with the soil.” This fling at the Massachusetts people who cannot trace their ancestry back to thé May- | cage flower, has brought forth a denial of the stereo- typed claim of all the glory of this country for the Puritans and their descendants, and in a recent anniversary address Mr. Tuomas J. GaRGan showed, among other things, Irish names are engraved on the soldier mont- ments of Massachusetts in the proportion of three in twenty. — — — RRR A IE Tue “twenty cents a car” of yesterday’s Republican appears to-day as $1 0 a car, and in some cases $8 20 a car. The switching charge of $1 00 has heretofore been absorbed by tho railroads, and paid by them out of the freight rate. They now announce that if the CLUBB extortion is practiced on them they will throw out the whole charge and let the shippers fight single-handed against the monop- olist. The people of St. Louis areevery day gaining fresh reasons for gratitude to the ED Sam CauBB’s organ, on Monday, alluded to Sam CLUBp’s Ferry Company as the natural competitor and regulator of the Gould bridge transfer.” It now appears that Govt is the chief protection of St. Louis against Sam CLunn, and that the East Side railroads leading into St. Louis are compelled to depend on the Gould managers against the exactions and extortions of a St. Louis corporation. ——————— Coolies Coming Over. From the Tacoma (W. IT.) News, The frequent announcement of the arrival of large numbers of Chinese at the port of Victoria, which seems to be augmented by the failure ef the local Government to secure any prohibitory meas- ures, is but a notice to the authorities of the United States of an invasion of our Territory by these fresh Mongolian recruits. Since the landing there, a . few days ago, of a cargo of 800 Chinese, the leader 4 of whom made bold to assert that they expected soon to be- come residents of the United States, we are in- formed that they have been successfully carrying out their plan, and landing by the boat-load on this side of the border. The ease with wh this is ac- complished, owing to the nature of the passages, renders any ordinary effort at prevention next to futile. No assistance, of course, can be ex- pected from British authorities, who would rather encourage and aid their departure, while numerous points at which they effect landing. by skulking be- hind islands and seeking the seclusion of bays and inlets, almost preclude the possibility of capture, even were proper diligence exercised. The Oliver Woleott, which has been dispatched to cruise among the islands to intercept their movements, if possible, has been ordered to San Francisco, so that we shall be left virtually defenseless against the free and unimpéded ingress of these anaes hordés to our Territory. Royalty in a Bagnio. From the New York Herald. Berlin's latest scandal case is a disgrace to Ger- man civilization. The law is thatthe monarch's uniform is sacred, andthe assumption, that all members of the reigning family are embraced by that “divinity which doth hedge a king.”’ That is all very well when the king’s uniform is worn in proper time and place, and when the member of reyaity has not forgotten the dignity that he represents and the great immunities which he enjoys from his position. But does this great privilege of immunity from personal harm extend to the uniform and the prince when the latter gets into a brawiin a dis- orderly house? In Germany apparently it does, judging from thé coo! manner in which the Emperor wrote his letter of condolence to the father of the young lieutenant, who, after having had his ears boxed, and forbidden by etiquet from duelling with a prince of the Heuse of Hohentollarn, com- mitted suicide. What Lieutenant Prittwitz should have done was to have had bis satisfaction from the Prince then and there; for though he might have received punishment it is scarcely probable that a court-martial would have admitted that a prince's “divinity” extended over the doorsill of a house of prostitution.

A General Protest and Howl of Indig- nation All Along the Line Against | the Increased Switching Rates--The Cost of Switching—Roads Will Not Pay Clubs Advanced Rates. A Post-Disratom reporter was fortunate enough yesterday to find Henry Gays, the new general ‘manager of the Wiggins Ferry Company, in the office of that company,on Third and Chestnut streets. Mr. Gays has returned to the city just in time to catch the full force of the wrath of those establishments in Hast St. Louis which suffer by the recent advance in switching charges, for the storm, instead of blowing over, has been ang- mented inthe last two days, and the full force of the hurricane will probably concentrate itself around Mr. Gays’ devoted head seme time to-day. Notwithstanding this unpleasant state of affairs, Mr, Gays did not seem at all averse to talking. “We consider this new tariff reasonable.“ said he, “and the charges as they should be. The original charge of $1 a car was made atatime whén 20,000 pounds was con- sidered a carload. After this the minimum was ad- vanced to 25,000 pounds without a corresponding advance in the price of switching. In other words, where the charge had been 6-10c per 100 pounds it became 4-100 per 100; We have followed out the principle of recognizing 25,000 pounds asa minimum carload and charging for any additional weight that may be inthe car at a preportionate rate. As we look at it it, is unfair to charge the same for moving a ear containing 4,000 to 50,000 pounds as we would charge did the car contain 25,000 pounds, We are not desirous of doing the manufacturing or shipping interests any in justice, and while we are firmly convinced that the true basis of charge is on a fixed unit, excess weight to contribute its share of revenue, we might be willing to place a unit that would be recognized aad used by all the roads terminating in East St. Louis." Further, Mr. Gays stated that very few cars were switched holding less than 2,000 pounds, and that many ran up to 50,000 pounds. The average, he said, was less than 80,000 pounds. If the East St. Louis elevator peo- ple said that their cars would average 35, 000 pounds, they were mistaken. All of the elevators were placed on the same basis, except the Star Elevator, and these two roads handled the business, the IIli- nois and St. Louis Road not being under the control of the Wiggins Company. In an- swer to a question, Mr. Gays stated that undoubtedly the Belt Road would rather handle one car of 50,000 pounds than two cars of 25,000 pounds each. They could not, however, handle one car of 50,000 pounds quite as cheaply as one car of 25,000 pounds. He thought the estimate of cost of switching at 70 cents per car extrava- gantly low. Still, admitting this, and that the Belt Road had handled 49.000 cars at 51 each last year, with $18,000 interest to pay on stock and bonds, it would have lost $6,000. Mr. Gayssays he has not been con- nected with the Wiggins Company long enough to know why cars could be switched twelve mileson this side of the river over valuable down-town property for $1 a car and could not be switched in East St. Louis for less than $2 to $8 a car over one- balf or one-quarter of that distance, A glance at Mr. Gays’ reasoning will convince any one of . * ITS FALLACY. —＋ first place, has the Wiggins Ferry Company discovered that the true basis of every charge is on a fixed unit, excess weight ‘to contribute its share of revenue.“ or bas it been aware of this fact for several years past and has it discriminated thus in favor of those whose cars were loaded above that 25.000 pound unit? When tne Wiggins Ferry Company, in its transfer business some years ago, saw the car capacity raised from 20,000 to 25,000 pounds without making avy change ia its charge per car, it recognized the principle that the true source of expense in switching was the moving of the engine and a certain number of cars, not the weight those cars contained. In a six- mile haul. should the contents of six cars bé placed in four of them, the cost of hauling the entire tonnage would be but little over two-thirds the cost of haul- ng the six cars bearing the same aggregate amount of freight, And yet under the new ruling of the Wiggins Company, if the East St. Louis Ele- vator wishes to have one car containing 50,000 pounds placed on ita switch it costs it exactly as much as ik it had two cars containing 25,000 pounds each Switched in on the same track. In the matter of the Star Elevator the distance covered is one mile and a quarter, but because two roads handle the car - because there are two Jack Horners, each with & proprietary interest in that pie—there must bea sufficient number of plums to satisfy the rapacity of each of the Jacks, and ac- cordingly the charges are doubled, and while a man on the west side of the river can have his switching done for $1 acar, a distance of twelve miles, the man on the east side must pay $2 to $8 for a haul of one and a-quarter miles. Ad- mitting the extravagant estimate of 70 cents for the actual cost of switching, then the profit on which the Wiggins Company is ca’culating is far more extravagant, for if the Venice and Carondelet Belt Road lost $6,000 hauling 40,000 cars at $1 each, it would make just $82, wy handing the same number at $38 WW each. As to average of weight, the figures of the old’ manager of the Venice and Carondelet place that average at 30,000 unds, whereas competent railroad men. declare the average of general freight, including merchandise, which runs much lighter chan the general ave between manufacturing estab- lishments on the t side, is fully 30,000 pounds. Another thing which should be taken into con- sideration is that the charges of the Wiggins Com- are not for the present alone, but for the and that the tendency at present is to in- the fag I capacity of all — Brenig fms de: * e ste cake 0 pparent, and the pro tles are —.— — sometuing is — in the — — to . er money-making propensities, shippers and wers on the East side will béfore long be paying for switching, which u week stace would ha ve cost them a paltry dollar.

Monday its agent was notified that the charge would hereafter be 50 cents for loaded cars, 26 cents for empties and 25 cents every time an eng.ne over the track. The Chicago an Alton is now useing the tracks of the Bridge and Tunnel Company, The roads terminating on the East side are now nego- tiating with the Bridge Company to do all their switching, placing two engines at their disposal. This business was formerly over naif the business of the Ciubb concern. It now remains to be seen whether Mr. Clubb’s foresight is developed sufficiently to teach him that about two weeks longer will leave him with about one-eighth of the business which he had before at double the charges.

The action of the Board of Commissioners, con- sisting of Secretary of State McGrath, Attorney- General Boone and State Auditor Walker, yesterday in awarding the contract for the next six years for printing and binding the St. Louis and Kansas City Court of Appeals Reports and the Supreme Court Reports to W. S. Ferguson of this city excited con- siderable comment as to the method employed among locabpublishers and job printers. The principal objection to Mr. Ferguson seemed to be that he was a figurehead. He is tne foreman of the John J. Daly Stationery and Printing Com- pany, itself an unsuccessful bidder. A gentleman who was present when tue bids were opened, and their figures announced, said y : “I saw no bond accompanying the Ferguson bid. The other bidders supplemented their bids with $20,000 bonds. I don’t think the method employed fair to all.“ Mr. W. J. Gilbert, law-book seller at 200 N. Fourth street, said the commissiouers had laid, them- — open to censure in accepting Ferguson's MR. JOHN J, DALY was seen this morning within a few minutes of his return from Jefferson City. “Mr. Daly, were you the successful bidder for the six years’ printing contractawarded yesterday by the State?” No, but my foreman was, which amounts to the game thing. We will do the work.“ Have you anything to say about the manner in which tne bids were received.” . “Nothing, except that it was perfectly fair. Several bids from parties who gave no bond were considered, Mr. Ferguson's among the number.“ “Will the contract prove a profitabie oue to your firm?” “Well, yes; the margin is a small one, but the contract runs six years. The State will take 700 volumes yearly of each of the three sets of reports. Outside sales at 52 per volume will amount, per- haps, to $4,800 more, making a total of receipts of $6,537 each year. BAST ST. LOUIS. Severely Inj ured by a Train— Duffy's Bond —News and Notes. The injunction applied for by Mr. M. Willard re- straining City Treasurer Lauutz and Ciiy Clerk Canty from receiving warrants issued prior to July i, 1885, in payment for licenses has been granted by Judge Snyder. This is thought to be only the first move in abolishing scrip or warrants entirely. City Treasurer Launté paid to-dav on mandamus injuuctions granted against the city amounts aggre- gating $2,000to Edward Abend, Frederick Kopie- quet, U. H. Helgard, Frank Espeuhein and Daniel cGown.

Caruthets and Bushong and Lovett and Biffet were the opposing batteries. At the bat the Athletics took the lead, making twelve safe hits off Caruthers, with a total of four- teen bases. St. Louis made seven hits, witha total of ten bases. The Athletics lost, however, through poor fielding and base running. Up te the seventh | inning the game Was a very interesting one, the score standing 5 to 4 in St. Louis’ favor In this inning the Browhs added three Fupé to their score, two of which were unéarhed, and the lead was too much for the Athletics. St. Louis earned two runs and the Philadelphians three. Each pitoher struck out five mien, ahd the final score was: St. Louis, 8; Athletics, 4.

The piichers were uhable to do effsetive Work, as they had no one to hold them, aud the tertifie pacers of Whitnéy had no other effeet than to tear the eateber's hands to pieces. Consequént ly, defeat after deteat, in Chicago and Detroit, was caused by sore hands, resulting in passed balls, and finaly the club was reduced to that strait that Fielder Whitely had to be put behind the bat to @atch.

The former alleges that his patent consists of a machine which could be secrétly used by u in his Face With Hanlan. A singular feature of the agreement as recited was that the said Thomas Hy. Snowdon hereby agrees to forfeit to the said John Desdle, to be recovered in any court of eompetent vutisdic. tion, in the eventof the said Thos. Hy, Snowdon disclosin ng to any other person or persons the secret of such fittings, after rectiving from the éaid John vie the sum of 2500.“ #jSnowden states that he was not allowed to take out a patent, and that Beae , by its aid, eould beat the best Fecdrd by two minutes. At thé trial Beach testified that he had tried the machine, but that it was useless He also said that he had never used any such contrivances in any of his races. Mr. Snowden was finally nonsuited. The contrivance is a very simple one.

In some parts of England men who get tired of their wives sell them as low as sixpence apiece. Sometimes a wife is traded off for a quart of beer. Both husbands and wives in such cases are very disagreeable persons. Possibly they are the vic- tims of dyspepsia and liver complaint, and their health is badly run down. Such people may not be worth doctoring, but nice people who are run, down by these ailments, should try Brown's Iron Bitters, which will bring them right up. HOTEL PERSONALS. Wm. F.

The Joys and Sorrows, the Triumphs and Failures of Life Illustrated in Commonplace Incidents—Miss Ara- bella Umbrella and Her Italian | Count—Likewise Their Son and Heir ~The Entailed Apple Stand. Hundreds of familiar pictures are encountered in the streets every day, and their commonplaceness at once recommends them to oblivion. Who gives the newsboy, or the street car, or the corner gro- cery a secend thought? Nobody. Who tries to fathom the architectural mysteries of the fruit stand at the end of the block? Nobody. Who re- gards. a hoodlum box in any ether than a practical, policemanlike light? Net a soul.

A young lady is trip- pi g along opposite the Court House. She is what e slang-sliagers term a daisy. Stylishly dressed in the cestume of the season, it is not possible to tell whether she is a millionaire’s daughter or a hired girl, out for a summer holiday. It is possible to tell, though, that she is pretty. There is beauty in her features and health in her cheeks. Her fig- ure is shapely, her hands and feet are small, and the parasol she carries could not have cost less than $14. Perhaps she is 19—possibly less certainly mot any more. She is t young enough to love and old enough to marry. She bas a heart. How does it beat? And how wiil it beat threugh the fut- ure?

What the Texans Claim to Have Lost by the Trail Fight Already. — n — Commissioner Colman's Aid Invoked in the Matter —A Couple of Gentle- men Who Appear to Have Spoken Too Soon— Details of a Mixed Mud- dle. The dispute between the holders of lands in the neutral strip district of Indian Territory and the cattlemen of northern Texas over the right of way through the neutral strip has assumed a new phase, and, unless the neutral strip men withdraw their opposition to the use of the trail adopted by the Dallas convention held in Texas several months ago, the Texans threaten to make a personal matter of the fight, and ask the authorities at Washington to inquire into the right of any person to prohibit the passage of cattle which have been declared healthy and sound by veterinarians of geod stand- ing. The neutral strip Hes between Texas and Col- orado and has an established trail running across it, which is the only outlet for Texas cattle into Colerado. If it is will be held on the Texas ranges to the great loss of their owners. Mr. A. L. Mercer, editor of the Northwestern Live Stock Journal, at Cheyenne, Wroming, who passed through the city en route for Washington, speak- ing to a Post-Dispatcnu reporter on the subject at the St. James hotel, said: “THE RIGHT OF WAY through the Cherokee strip is not the on at resent. The trail through it leads directiy into — through which State Texas cattle cannot , owing to the laws passed by the last Kansas islature, and the trail is practically wo What the Texas men want is the trail through the neutral strip, which is pnblicdomain. That leads into Colorado. Once in that State they ean get north or east, as they desire. The Secretary of State, Attorney-General and Commissioner of Agriculture have been furnished the facts in the matter, and are thoroughly conversant with all of the details. he cattlemen have every confidence in Washington authorities and feel that they will act in an impartial and just This morning a Post-Dispaton reporter saw a copy of the following telegram which was sent frem Texas to Commissioner Colman at Washing- gS angen ye “The trails sought to be traveled by the Texan drovers are well established by use common consent. The trail agreed upon by the Dallas meet- ing is the only practicable one to Colorado. Great injustice and injury has been done the live stock interest of our State by the steppage of the cattle. There is no doubt of the facts as stated by Gover- nor Ireland and Congressman Sayers. tary Lamar's course is highly commended by all, as an act of simple justice. [Signed] Joun N. Smrpson, President Texas Live Stock Association.” On the 11th inst. Messrs. W. A. Towers and Thos, A. Lee, signing themselves as representatives of Colorado, Kansas, Nortbern Texas, Missouri and Indian Territory Cattle Growers and Live Stock Association, telegraphed their version of the diff culty to Secretary mar to the effect that the right of trail threugh the neutral strip be denied the Texans. Subsequent investigation develops that Towers and Lee are interested in the cattie business in the neutral strip territory, and, while they may repre- seat the Kansas and Indian Territery associations, since the stand they take in their telegram is iden- tical with the interests 4 of those Sta they do not represent nor voice the sentiments of Coloradop Texas and Mis souri associations. This discovery is the new phase referred to above and will doubtless be urged against them by the Texans as ground for disre- garding their statements. Itis claimed that the “Northern Texas Live Stock Association“ does not exist, and that should the men belong to the COLORADO AND MISSOURI ASSOCIATIONS they were not authorized by them to make any statement to the Secretary as coming from them. At a meeting of the Colorado Association at Denver a resolution was unanimously adopted expressive of the sense of that Association, that owners of healthy cattle had the rightto drive them over public domain. This resolution is in direct oppo- sition to the position taken by Towers and in obstructing the drive through the neutral strip. All of the Texas cattle associations nad representatives at the Dallas meet- ing and concurred in the adoption of what is Known as the Dallas trail, which traverses the neutral strip and leads into Colorado, and itis safe to assume that Towers and have not been selected by them to rescind their actien in the matter, and undo all of their work at that meeting. Messrs. Hunter and Evans and a large majority of the cattlemen of this State are in sy mpathy with the action of the Dallas Convention and no one has been authorized by them to represent to the contrary.
