Story oft the Night Watchman Who Witnessed the Deed—Al Griffith and | Pat Rooney, the Guilty Parties, Fly From thé City—The Police Mysteris ously Ignorant of the Affair. 3 a 8 The citizens of North ft. Louis have been guard- edly, though unceasifgly, discussing the details of a horrible diitrage which occurred on the dredge boat belonging to the Missouri gan d Company anchored in the river at the foot. of Buchanan street. The affair occurred on yesterday a week ago, and so carefully has the matter been sup- pressed that none of the details came to light until to-day. The concerned are Al. Griffith, gen of Capt. Griffith, President of the Missouri Sand Co., Pat Rooney, the captain of the dredge-boat, . and a young Jady who is said to be a relative of two high police officials, The story as told a Posr- DrspaTou reporter by Tom Miller, night watchman on the dredge boat, is as follows: “On Thursday morning a week ago about 2 a. m., while I was here. on the boat, I received a hail from Capt. Rooney from the shore, and when - I. found Capt. * the river was a's about 2 away. kowing over I — 12 and heard the girl Nalling out: Oh. stop, for God's sake, dont.

The Mysterious Equestricnue ut Washing- ton Makes a Sensation at the Beach. flavor given to the bathing scene the other day. Up to the present time there has been very little of a sensational character in the costumes of the bathers. About 1:30 In the afternoon a lady appeared upon the beach, dragging a huge dog and followed by a maid and a colored man carrying towels. The lady wore a red handxerchief, with a crescent piece of brass in front on her head. She was wrapped from head to foot in a light Oriental cloak, crossed with gilt bars. She walked to the edge of the surf and then she threw aside her wrap and handed it to her maid. She then stood revealed in the strik- ing costume of a Turkish odalisque. Her jacket was a dark blue braided with white. The sleeves, skirt and enormous pantaloons gathered in at the ankles were a strong yellow color. Upon her feet she wore sharp-pointed kid shoes with French heels. The dog was a St. Bernard breed. He was modest and did not care to go into the water with this strangly- attired batner. He pulled back and howled at erery attempt of the Turkish beauty to get him to go into the water. This struggle between the lady and the dog soon attracted a good deal of attention. This attention became amusement when ske lay down flat on the sands and began playing fighting with her dog.

Commodore De Cordova, of the American Yacht Club, tendered the steam fleet of the club as an escort to the body in the river pro- cession, and Gen. Hancock made the following reply and avnounced it as final: “Nothing, abso- lutely nothing, can be done now. Itistoo late by several days to think of any change.

President Cleveland and Cabinet will arrive here early Thursday morning, August 6, instead of Friday, as heretofore announced, and will find seclusion in the residence of Secretary Whitney. At a meeting of the Monument Committee yester- day it was announced that $8,396 in contributions had been received.

DIED LIKE A COWARD, Execution of Wagner, the Murderer of Sheehan, at Columbus, Ohio. — — nm Fights Like a “maniac on the Gal- dows— Wagner’ s Crime—First Hang- ing in the Penitentiary. 2 Convmsvs, Ono, July 81.— Valentine Wagner, a German of Morrow County, was executed at the Ohio penitentiary this morning for the killing of his brother-in-law, Daniel Sheehan, on December 18, 1882. This was the first hanging to take place at the Ohio Penitentiary under the new law requiring that all éxecutions in the State shall take place at he prison. The trouble between Wagner and Sheehan was of long standing, and of a family mature, and on the date named Wagner went to Sheehan's house and told him that he had come to kill him, and immediately drew a revolver and shot him, and fired again when he tried to escape. The trials were long and tedious, the Supreme Court affirming the judgment of the lower court, and the Cirenit Court also affirming the judgment of the Common Pleas Court, and fixing the day of execu- tion for July 31. The Governor had been sought to interfere on all mannerof grounds, but refused to do so after making a complete study of the case. He telegraphed from Alliance at 11 o'clock sgh 9 he would not interfere. Wagner 8 r and mother, each over 80 yéars of age, and a wife and seven children. They took their final leave of him yesterday afternoon, and the scene was a most affecting one. THE EXECUTION. The execution took place within the prison, ina place prepared for all executions, and in the pres- ence of not more than twelve or fifteen witnesses. Shortly after 2 o'clock the Sheriff's party entered the reception room and waited while the ministers were with Wagner. When the time came for the march to the gallows, Wagner was entirely over- come. He begged piteously to be saved. He had almost to be carried to the trap, and when there tried to lie down, begging all the time to be spared. It was with the greatest difficulty that the officers could prepare him and adjust the noose. He strug- led like a maniac. The trap fell at 2:15 and the man died instantly. Four minutes later the body was cut down. . A Hardware Store Scorched. DorLlorn, Minn., July 31.—A fire in the basement of G. C.

Special Cablegram to the Post-Dispatch. London, July 31.—Except the Times, which gives a fair report of the debate on the Criminal Law } Amendment bill, the papers here have only a few lines of it, although it lasted nearly six hours, and began in excitement, Sir Richard Asheton Oross, the Home Secretary, gave a wrong and sensational tone to the discussion, which should have been made scientific by his high-flown talk about the honor of the homes of England. He said the members who opposed the bill would have to answer to their con- stituents. This brought Hopwood up and he angrily charged the Home Secretary with USING INDECENT LANGUAGE. He was promptly called to order by the Speaker, and apologized. Then he attacked the bill strongly, saying it was‘the result of a panic produced by the so-called revelations of a vile Harcourt replied that the bill was drafted years ago Cavendish Bentinck caused a sensation by saying that this was a most flagrant instanceof political immorality on the part of the late Home Secretary. He was pressing on the Opposition a bill which he did not pass when in power. He declared the present attempt to hurry legislation reflected disgrace on all the front bench and great- est disgrace on Cross. The House listened with good humor and laughed gnd cheered ironically. Neither Hopweod, Warton nor Bentinck isaman of any weight. It then proceeded to discuss the amend- ments, of which there were many pages. It sat till 8a.m. A sensation was caused by the production of the petition in favor of the bill, collected by the Salvation Army. continued to-day. The impression is that the ago of consent will be raised to sixteen, years. 1 THE TORY SPLIT. The slpit in the Tory party is a most serious one. The Standard this morning has a leader denouncing Lord Randolph Churchill in the strongest language. It says: “His almost incredible ignorance of affairs. his boyish delight in offering the crudest insults to men who have been fifty years in the service of the State, his pranks and his blunders, are ceasing to amuse. We will follow Lord Salisbury, but we will not be governed by a sort of evergrown school-boy, who thinks he is-witty, when he if only impudent, and who really does not seem to possess sufficient knowledge even to fathom the depths of hisown ignorance of everything worthy the name of statesmanship.” This expresses the feelings of many good and able Conservatives and of every- body else. The next thing is to see Lord Churchill hit back. GLADSTONE’S LETTER. Mr. Gladstone has written a letter advocating the raising of the protected age to 18 years. This was unexpected and is likely to affeet legislation. —— Engiand. GLADSTOND'S TRIP. Lonrpox, July 31.—Mr. Gladstone will start Satur- day on his cruise to Norway as a guest of Sir Thos.

Robert Buchanan is seriously ill. finished a long dramatic poem. 2 THE TORY ROW. The absence of Lord Randolph Churchill and the Earl of Iddlesleigh from the Lord Mayor's banquet to the Ministers Wednesday evening, and the former's refusal to attend the great Tory meeting in Liverpool, at which he was to be the principal speaker, has caused a great deal of comment in He bas just political circles. The Times, commenting on the latter incident, deciares the affair to bea strong illustration of the lac of unity in the Conservative party. There is a good deal of excitement in Liver- pool over the occurrence and the meeting was postponed. Lord Randolph has promised to attend*’a meeting there a month from now to address the Conservatives. The reasons for the Secretary of Statefor India’s course are said to be the failure of the two Conservative members from Liverpogi to support his Irish policy, and their attitude on the medical relief bill. Mr. Feon- wood, one of the Tory members from Liverpool, has been empowered to arrange foran address in Liverpool from the Indian Secretary. : THE STANDARD ATTACKS CB URCHILI. Lord Randolph Churchill is bitteriy attacked as an impudent and overrated schoolboy by the Stan- dard, which demands his dismissal from the Min- rake THE DILKE SCANDAL SETTLED. If reports are true the Dilke scandal will not be aired in the courts. It is practically settled, also, sofaras the press is concerned. Sir Charles is said to have ‘given Mr. Crawford, the aggrieved husband, his check for $125,000. By this settlement the papers cannot use the late Minister's name in connection with the scandal without running the risk of incurriag heavy penalties for libel.

It were a thousand times better that the Conservatives should be again ip opposition than that they should be exposed to the humiliation of such things as Churchill's attacks on Earl Spencer's government of Ireland. Unless the Government disavows these attacks it will feel the bad effects in the future more seriously than n bas yet contemplated. The truth is, Lord Randolph Churchill has been much overrated. If his pranks be endured longer he will smash the Government and the Conservative party. It is a common saying that Lord Randolph Churchill is equally a Radical with Mr. Joseph Chamberlain, and the popular estimate is not far wrong.” Spain. INCREASE IN CHOLERA MORTALITY.

" BILLINGS’ PICK EREI. ‘The Latest Tall Fish Story From Gopse Bay. ; — —ů ‘ How Mr. Billings of Brooklyn sud- denly Attained Fame as a Fisher- man— Mr. Clark's Big Sturgeon. By Telegraph f o the Post-Dispatch. Atexanpnid Bay, N. H., July #1.—Almost every- body catches the fishing fever after being here a few hours. The air is full ot it. Mr. Billings of Brooklyn had an attack lasting a day and a half, which, for a man of his phlegmatic nature, was quite severe. It threatened at one time to disrupt family relations and leave him wifeless in this wild region, for Mrs, Billings and the little Billingses having failed to meet a party of relatives were anxious to hurry on and overtake them at Mon- treal, but they found Billings . obdurate, even flatly refusing to move. After a tearful interview last- ing half of the night Billings yielded with a sigh, countermanded the order to be called at day! ight in time to get down to Goose Bay to feed the fish their breakfast, and packed his traps, promising himselfto return in September, when the muskallonge are running. and spend a week, even if ha became A victim of alymony and All his wife's relatives de- serted bim ina body. It required a deal of heroic endeavor on his part to abandon the s and its sport, for he had never seen anything like it in all his life. Saratoga had been good enough for him in previous yen and the races andthe club had ven him all the excitement he desired. He had eathiessly watched the hosses coming down the home stretch, and bawled himself hoarse when his choice hung for an instant neck and neck with the favorite, and then drew to the front, crossing the wire full head in advance. He had 2 ball as it around the roulette board, an bad played ou the red and black, and had tingled all over with excitement as a knave had turned o portunely and ziven him a bushel of chips. a had run the gamut in Schenck’s noble game, had held everything that could be held; once, indeed, actually holding a royal against fours, much to his own as well as to the other fellow’s surprise, and the excitement had been itensified by the other los- ing his temper and calling him a sharper, and by their friends promptly pairing and raising a row that was riotous and destructive of chandeliers and pier mirrors. Billings had experienced all that man can experience in such critical moments, and new he actually BELIEVED BE HAD GROWK BLASS. Nor was he arouséd from this belief till a nine- und pickerel made a strike at his hook, and the ine he was lazily dangling in the water of Goose Bay flew furious y down the rod and the reel began to sing. Sometuing had happened to Billings which ad never happened before. He never, he said, in all his life felt such a tug. And then the sport that followed. For ten minutes it was 2 lematical whether Billings would go out of the boat or whether the pickerel would come in. He pulled like a horse.“ panted Billings, as the boat- man drew the fish aboard and disdatosed it witha head. It was the largest pickerel layed this season on the porch of the Taousand Island home, and Billings was a monarch for the rest of that day. The other fisaer- men eyed him jealously; the boatmen got together in groups and wondered who he was and how long he intended to stay here; but most pleasing of all to a man of Billings’ seusitiveness, the ies came down from the grand veranda to see his prize. holding thew skirts and ae as they peered over at the monscer and congra the proud Brooklia man on his bravery. “Wasn't you afraid you'd get drowned?” timidly asked cne. “Not a bit of ft.“ replied Billings bravely. “You see I bad him at by the gills and he was bound to come when Bilin * to put in his fine work.” He did not et plain thatthe boatman had him by the coat tails at one time and was yell - ing like a mad man, “Get back inte the boat or we wiil both go overboard.” Even the hotel clerk was deferential that night, and Manager Clernes in- sisted on doing the honors. And 80 ILLINGS BECAME A FISHERMAN, and henceforth bis dreams will be pictured with ten pound pickerel. split bamboo rods and nickel-plated me eas reels and his summer life wil be he gets away to the Thousand Islands for a month's vacation. Already he is ting for an island of hisownon which he can build a 8 and after he gets him a steam launch his life will indeed be complete. No wonder Presidents and ex-Presidents and men of pressing cares take refuge at the Thousand Islands when the season of musaallonge, pickere! and bass comes around. Very few greenhorns were ever fortunate enough to have a strike from a ten pounder. Hardiy one in a thousand could land it if he did. Billings’ boatman had fursisned him with a stout rod and strong tackle, and then he coached him while the fight was going on. Billings, moreover, was born lucky, and there was no flaw in his tackle. Besides, the hook had penetraied the giil and by giving out plesty of line the fisn was bound to bang ong enougu to become exhausted. Bulngs success speediiy revived the story, some. what old by this time, of the seventy-eigat pound sturgeon caugut here a few weeks ago by a gent.e- man named Ciara, who is one of the State's dish protectors. When Dr. Perry went back to Sara- toga and told the guesis about it, they smfied sadiy and shook tbeir heads. In vain be submitted in evidence a photograph of the fish and the fish-pole as they appeared when brought into we office of the Thousand Isiaud house. Many of the Saratoga visi- tors come to the Thousand Isiands and their first inquiry is about the sturgevon story. They have found several persons who wiil vouch for its verac- ity, all of whom agree that these were the facts: Mr. Clark went.down to Goose Bay one morning bass fishing. He uad just MADE A BEAUTIFUL CAST when his line straightened out and something dart- ed away like a flasu withthe hook. In leas time than it takes io write it more than 200 feet of line were out and the reel was still singing merriiy. The boat man caught the oars and was soon in hot chase of the game. It ied him up river, then down, then across aud back again. When reeled almost home it took the line and again soot off ata tre- mendous s Clara is one of the most experi- enced fishermen who haunt the St. Lawrence, and be played thc game well. At the end of one hour and five minutes toe fish was in sigat and tior- oughiv. exhausted. It was too large to handle familiarly and a oullet was used to dispatcn it. His hoek was t stened, not in the mouth, but in the dorsal fin. The sturgeon bad been lying lazily near the surface of shallow water when Clark made his cast, and as the Book d ed across its back the | point fastened ia the fin. e pole with which it was played this leng time 2 eight ounces, and the hook was held to the line with a single leader. This isthe most astonishing fish story whoge scene was ever laid at the Thousand Islands, and the astonishing part of it is that it is true. Billings, however, was disposed to make littie of it after nis adventure with his first pickerel. He thought the same thing when Mrs. Billings pre- sented him with their first baby. There was nothing like it anywhere in tae neighbornood, nor had its equal ever been seen. MISS WILEY’S EXE. ° Dlast Furnace Men ona 8trike—The Barbed Wire Pooi—ILilinois Items.

Dr. Voerster and Jack Nolan Appear for Trial Before Judge Oady. A lively fracas, in which Dr. Engeibert Voerster and Jack Nolan were the principal figures, occurred last evening in Schmid's saloon, 512 Olive street. The stories, as to how the trouble originated are very conflicting. While the altercation was stil) going om two police officers made their appear- ance” and took both belligerents down to the Chestnut Street Sta- tion, where they furnished bail and wers released. Dr. Voerster charges Nolan with being tue aggressor, but Nolan maintains that the Doctor struck him first. From wuat could be gieaned from other sources it seems that V ter and Ryan, the coniracior,and Jonn E. rty were in the saloon drinking when a dispute about some matter occurred between Ryan and Hagerty. Jack Nolan came in while the dispute was pro- ssing and interfered to defend Hagerty, whom 2 was anxious to pummel. Their remarks soon became offensively personai and they came to blows. Nolan has an ugly gash in his forehead, whica, he says, Dr. Voerster icflicted with brass knuckles. The Doctor, also, is bauly bruised avout tue head. This morning the case came up for trial inthe Police Court before Judge Cady, at Voerster’s uest was oontinued until next Wednesday. ack Nolan's friends say that Veerster was the aggressor, and that if the, police had not arrived so promptiy the pugilistic physi- cian would not have been able to stand up long enough to-day to ask for the continuaace in the Police Court.

Vice-President Blair Presents the ’ Police Board Side of the Question — — — , Ina Letter Which Was First Asked For by the Republican and Then Re- fused— Why the Police Commission-: ers Will Insist That Private Watch- men Must Wear Uniforms. The following corréspondence was received at this office this morning: Sr. Lovis, July 31, 1885. To the Mdttor of the Post-Disnaten: I enclose herewith a letter addressed by me to the editor of the Republican, at his request, which he, now declines to publish. A reporter from that paper was sent three times to my office to procure this letter, and yet, upon finding that the facts do | not support the Republican's views, the editor sup- présses it. The Board was not, and is not now, disposed to argue the private watchmen's case be- fore the public, because itis simply a matter of department discipline, but the Republican has so misrepresented the facts that I venture to trespass upon your space in order that the public may not print it and this in full. Very respectfully, . James L. Buain, V. J. MR. BLAIR'S LETTER. St. Lovis, July 80, 1885. To the Editor of the Republican: When your reporter caiied on me to-day for a statement of the position taken by the Board in the private watcaman matter, I was too much oc- cupied with my private business to furnish it, but, assuming that you wish to deal fairly with a ques- } tion in which you seem to take such an interest, I am very willing to give you the facts. In ordering privAte watchmen to procure uni- forms and report at police statiens for roll call, the Board acts upon the authority vested in it by sec- tion 8, charter 6, of acts specially applicable to St. Louis (Laws 1867 which you wil find on page 1536. vol J, revised stat 1879) the language of which is: “The police missioners of the City of St. Louis shall have power to regulate and license all private watchmen, private detectives, and private policemen, serving or acting as such in the city or county of St. Louis, and no person shall act as such private watchman, private detective or * policeman in said city or county without rst having obtained the written license of the President or acting President of said Police Com- missioners of the city of St, Louis, under pain of being guilty of a misdemeanor.” If this law is valid, and it has never been held otherwise, it cer- tainly confers upon us the power to “regulate” private watchmen. It isa fair principle of con- struction, that when a power is conferred by words | of a general character oniy, a discre- tion is vested in the whom the power is conferred as manner in whkick it shail be . ceive it to be the intention of this law in giving the power to “regulate” private watchmen. to authorize us to do any and all things which in our discretion may seem necessary to systematize, co.troi and in other s make efficient the watchmen whom we license. If thig be not the meaning or intent of the word regulate“ we are unable to that it serves any purpose whatever in the act. Yetthe consfruction for which you contend Would make it mere surplusage, since you say that to “regulate” means simpiy to license and nothing more. We believe, therefore, that we have the power to make such requirements of these watchmen as our Own judgment, guided by the experienge of this department, may suggest with the sole purpose of making them an efficient and well regulated body of men, faithful to the interests of their employers and well under the control of our Department. In another section of the police law you will find a provision authorizing the | to adopt such rales for the government of the force under them (and of course it will not be contended that private watchinen, licensed are not a part ot as will effectual! carry out the provisions of ursuance of this autuority, one of under the law adopted rules 83, 84 and 85, providing among other matters that private waichmen wear such emblems and uniform and shall register and repert at such station house as the Board may direct. The substance of these, rules with other matters of misor detail is, and been, printed upon the every private watchman, subscribed by bim, and, as one of the conditions of tbe issuance of the license, he makes oath — 2 2 obey ers Set Bn Cnet rules pres cri y the Beard. It appears, therefore that in urging Forbes and otters to resist the order of the „ that you are advising them not only to disobey their superior officers but to violate their oath of effice. The lcense confers upou the watchman police wers upon certain premises, incidentally author- ing him to carry weapons, and invests him with the capacity for great the case may be, the character of upon the amdunot of surveillance exe him; and we think it, goes without saying tuat men of this character, under discipline, are more effect- ive than if left entirely troued. So much for the general aspect of the matter. n the question presents itself to the Board in tuis way: We find a body of men patroling the streets of the city fully armed, with no designating mark about them save the small badge, which, in most Cases, is Careiully concealed, and under the control of and responsiuie to no one save tne persous whose houses they guard, who, in the very nature of things, are unable to know whether or not . men perform their duty. Hundreds of compiainis from citizens as to im- has year, called upon almost every week to revoke the license of one or more of them for being intox:cated on the streets aud for other equaliy pare improprieties. Many of these men are Taſth- ul to their duties, but a grea: many of them are not, and tue question is whether it is better for tue interests of their empioyers aud of the public that they should be allowed to do as they please or be designated by unmstasabie Outward insignia and properiy supervised. As a matter of common sense and practical experience in this department. we believe that the latter is the proper course to pursue, and we believe tnat We are performing a plain duty to the pubic in pursuing it. Iustructioas have been issued requiring them to wear, while on duty, a uniform coat and cap, with badg aud Delon the displayed; stai.on ou criti read them, for you ili” and Other matters 7 rules make no mention whate exact knowledge on the mgs Nae have stated it at , rule, | nounced the wounds dangerous. * * 3 "v= * ; P . nn Bir z = 2 : — — af bd Incorporation Sought for the Knights and Ladies of Honor.

One year, postage paid.. : 7 NN * 5 évk 1 e . — Tue Navy Department has paid Mr. Jonx Roach $10,333,629, and has nothing to show for it. Since 1878 he has received nearly $4,000,000 for alleged “repairs.” Those who hold him up asa martyr to his own patriotic desire to build ships for his country, and who say that he has been ruined by the non-pay- ment of a balance of $25,000 co ming to him on the Dolphin, say also that his gove rnment con- tracts were not one-tenth of the work he has done asa ship-builder. Although he has been paid several hundred thaysand dollars more than the law and his contracts entitled him to draw onthe unfinished vessels he is building for the Government, and although he boasts that his assets will pay two dollars for one of his liabilities, he still poses in some of the Blaine organs as a victim of national ingrati- tude and political persecution, when it is plain that his assignment is nothing but a trick to prevent the Government from recovering any of the money he has wrongfully obtained from the Treasury by the connivance of such un- savory Secretaries as RopESONand CHANDLER. His regular contributions of $100,000 eve four years to electa Republican inist tion account for the sympathy he is receiving, but they also explain why he gets sick of his Government contracts the moment they are to be interpreted and enforced by an unbribed administration. Mr. Roacu’s im ported labor- partnership heretofore existing between him and the Navy Department will not cause the Nation to dissolve in a flood of sympathetic tears. — — — — The Red Prince Killed by His Wife.

It will be news to most people, probably, that | there are between five thousand and six theusand Icelanders living in this country. But that is the fact, and quite recentiy delegates from eleven Ice- Tlandio congregations in Dakota, Montana and Manitoba met in convention at Mountain, in the first-named Territory, to ferm a synodical usion. There is a hitch; however. In Iceland the women have voice and vote in congregational matters, and the synodical constitution adopted at Mountain by a vote of 18 to 8 contained a provision to that effect, but some of the congregations are 80 stoutly op- posed to this equality of the sexes that at least one more convention will be necessary to settle the matter.

Tus fact that Capt.

THE METROPOLITAN PRESS. What me Editors of the New York Journals are Saying To-Day. ö By Telegraph to the Post-Dispatch.

THE sux. 0 The Sun says: Ihe stories of treasure found by the French at Hue recall the golden wouderg of Mexico and Peru in the days uf the Spanish con- queréfs. Some weeks ago Gen. De Courcey tele- graphed that he had discovered millions of dollars worth of treasure in the royal palace, and now he announces that more treasure, amounting in value to two and a half millions ef dollars, has been re- covered from the son of the leader of the rece nt insurrection. Unfortunately for the French the commanders of armies no longer pile up the spoils of the enemy in „ aud give every man his share. Dishonest nk clerks find more spoils at home, nowadays. than fall to ee dventurers who go a soldiering in dis- THE TIMES. The Times says: “With the nomination of Fitz- hugh Lee, the campaign in Virginia fairly opens. So far as the character of Mr. Lee is concerned, the Democrats have made a good choice. He is un- doubtedly popular, with a kind of popularity that is very taking in the South. But the superiority of the Democratle party in Virginia over their oppo- nents is, after all, largely negative. The issues presented in the canvass are not sharply defined, and the friends of honesty and good government have by no means so clear a path of duty before ‘them as is desirable. The election of Lee would be a check, and probably a final one, to the personal influence of Mahone, and that, so far as it goes, is a gain to the State.“ THE TRIBUNE. The Tribune saye: “The President has finally declared that he will give over to the spoils hunters ot his party all the places in the United States consular service except nine. The annouscement comes in the shape of a list of eight Consuls and one Consul-General, who will be retained on ac- count of efficiency.’ This as nearly approaches a confession that the Administration will no longer be controlled by civil service reform principles, even im appearence, except where the law demands it, as anything we bave seen since March 4. It may be commended for its frankness, oui certainly . imputation upon the officers not mentioned in ti list is unjust. A vast majority of the United States Consuls whe still retain the offices wuica they received from Republican Presidents are fully equal in efficiency to the nine mentioned in Mr. Chandler's jist. They all have probably expected to .ose their places, because they realize the falsity of t dmiuistration's professed devotion to cor- rect Civil service principies; but they did not anticipate that they would be kicked out and have their reputations slurred at the same time. THE PEOPLE’S FORUM, Parnell and Evictions. Sr. Louts, July 29, 1888. To the Editor of the Post-Disputch: In this eveving’s paper An Old Citizen” inquires whether Mr. Farnell has ejected any of his tenants for non-payment of rent since he joined the Irish Liberation party.” If Mr. Richard Pigott, Irish Home Ruler, is to be believed, Mr. Parnell has repeatedly evicted tenants for non-payment of rent. I quote from Mr. Pigott's recent article in the Fortnightly Review: Than Mr. Parnell, eviction has had few more vehement or unreserved denouncers, He has over and over again spoken of it as ‘fiendish work,’ and indignantly condemned it generally without any reservation whatever. He was, ' moreover, an approving listener to Mr. John Dillon when, on a memorable occasion in the House of ( ommons, that gentleman protested that if he wasan Irish farmer, and a y of men came to turn him out of his house and land, he would most decidedly shoot as many of them as he could m to do. Well, Mr. Parnell himself is an evicting landlord. In the paper recently we read that he had evicted some of his ‘poorer tenants,’and about a year ago he appeared personally im the Dublin cousts as plaintiff in a suit agaiast another, a respectable widow lady, and obtained an order for her evic- If “An Old Citizen” is a sincere seeker after truth, I recommend that he procurs the Fortnightly and read the entire article.

POOL PROBLEMS. Does Pooling Protect the Railroads and Help Bysiness? ——6ä7—— — Pools a Recent Invention and Still Only an Experiment—Many Failures ~Bureaus of Statistics—The Pools Which Affect St. Louis Trade— Junction Pools”—St. Louis and Its Railroad Pools. The pool problem is at present one of the heaviest with which American railroads have to wrestle. The necessity for pooling (er the apparent necessi- ty, for it has not yet been proven that pooling is 4 perfect way of meeting the difficulty) arose from the inability to maintain rates to competitive points Roads were constantly underbidding one another for every good shipment of freight that offered, with the ultimate result of carrying the freight at less than cost, sometimes for nothing and sometimes for even less than that. It is not so many yearsago that a certain merchant in this city, having a large quantity of freight in prospect for shipment to New York, met on the street the representative of the road that did most of his business and asked him for a rate on 100 tons of freight for shipment during the month. Rates were demoralized, and many of the roads quoting preposterously low fig- ures. The manager, fearful of losing the business, made an offer of a certain rate, which was immedi- ately snapped up. Then the shipper sat down and figured out that, after paying him 244 cents per 100 pounds rebate, as per contract forthe season signed and sealed, and after paying terminal and trausfer c in New York, the road would not on y be carrying the freight for notning, but giving a bonus of 2, cents per 100 pounds for 2 The manifest absurdity ef this state of affairs soon set the wiser heads to devising some means of they had been making from time to time. This was in A since that year, when the first pool was organized, the system has been grow- ing until it has assumed enormous propo . The pool offices throughout the country employ in ail several thousand clerks, and the expense of main- — these bureaus of statistics, as they are now considered, cuts quite a figure in the outlay of the freight department of a big . “Bureaus of statistics’ they are now termed, because it has been determined within the past year that as a factor in the maintenance of rates between the centers of trade they are not to be taken into ac- count. Rates throughout the eountry have, within the past three months,been about as badly demoral- ized as possible, and the bankruptcy of * companies, and the number of bankrupted roads in tne past year is very large, may be at- tributed largely to the utter inability to maintain rates On a —— basis. Ihe pool offices, and particularly those of Com- missioner Fink, in New Yor« City, send out much va uable information as to the business done by tae pooled lines, the business in and out of certain large cities, etc. The records of Fink's office, em- bracing, as they do, shipments and receipts of every conceivable articie of freight by the largest lines in tae country for several years, are of immense value. It was for this reason that when the trunk line pool practically went to pieces a mont or two since, it was agreed to continue the office and make regular reports as usual, that no hiatus shoud occur in the records. Tuat the pooling system, however, is at present viewed by railroad men as the only system for the maintenance of rates is proven vy the recent at- tempts to legalize ls. A bill was presented to the Missouri Legislature at its last session author- izing to pool their earnings, but it was defeated. THE CHIEF ARGUMENT tor the pool system, as affecting commerce, is that with a certain fixed rate te work on merchants can act understandingly, w with constant variations in rates and with rebates and cuts being given certain shippers, the merchant must be constantly fzuring from day to day, aad even from hour to hour. A recent example of this evil was the decliue in the price of flour abroad, with the recent break in freight rates. Wnen rates were restored, as they bave been in part, the price of flour did not advance, with the result that those who had already shipped abroad at bigh rates lost money, and those who were called upon to pay the advance in rates found themselves unable to do any business. ~ One of the results of ing is, that the find themselves ob to support the weak. frequentiy the case that roads having a small per- centage in a certain pool will not carry a pound of business, althougk receiving at the end of each month their spare of the earnings of the other It ws AN INSTANCE at home is that of the Toledo, Cincinnati an d St. Louis, which, although not in the East-bound pool, will have to be taken in eventually when it is in a position to operate once more. duch are the disadvan of the road that at equal rates it would not in au probability be able to take a car load of throuzh business, in a year. Still, if not admitted to a share of that business it bas in the past shown its ability to thoroughly de- moralize rates by the other lines. Hence it must be taken in, giver a — — then de allowed to take a certain amount of ness at a less rate or else lie idle and absorb a portion of the earnings of the other lines as its’ share for keeping eut of the market. “I donot think the pool system has grown any recently, said E. S. Macken, pool accountant of the Waabsh, yesterday.” Ail these pools are as yet experimental. Fink's poois are an experiment only. First he tried a mosey pool, and when he found that was not successful he tried a to pool. has gone to pieces. ippers to having their (freight 3 d .

ATHLETES’ EDEN. 1 „ | A Talk With an Australian Who Bet on Hanlan and Lost. . - — * - His Belief Still is That “Our Ned” Can Beat Beach if He Wants To—Won- derful Performance of Maud 8.— Changes in the Lucas Team— Dia- mond Chips and Sporting Sundries. Mr. Charles Stacke of Melbourne, Australis, ar- rived at the Lindell this morning en route to New York and the East. Mr. Stacke left Australia a tew weeks ago. He is connected with a large hard- ware store and sperting goods emporium there and is well up im all matters pertaining to athletic “I am surprised,“ said he to a Post-DisPpaTon re- porter this morning. that more of your prominent athletes do not visit Australia. It is quite a dis- tance away, I admit, but still the prizes offered in sporting events and the heavy betting, it seems to me, should be sufficient inducement to offset that disadvantage. Look at Hanlan. He made fortune there on his last trip and didn't have to work very hard, either. Then, besides, Hanian Was defeated in the most important event which he entered, and he must have dropped considerable money on it. Had he won he would have tripied his earnings. When lI left there, the newspapers were full of paragraphs to the effect that Hanian, —.— Wallace Ross, and some other prominent 20 were coming over vert spri meet them for b their minda. before 6 ‘square,’ no hippodroming will be tolerated. You may have noticed that Australian rowers are never charged with throwing a race, aud Hanlan's actions some of ie races may have borne a fishy look to an old sport, the people over there never dreamed of accusing bim of fraud.“ “Why, you don't mean to say that Hanlan could have won from Beach, do you?” “Well, I don't know. He bas frequently beaten Beach's best time with little effort, and I can’t see any reason why he should not have won from bim in his races. — says hi If that he was in first-rate condition, ut complained that the disadvan of positions, together with the strong tide of the Paramatta, beat him. Pshaw! Why should a sensible man be idiot enough to go into a race where the loss of the toss or choice of positions ———. decides the contest. ou can’t make me eve any thing like that. I thought at the time that anlan could win and backed him for £500 to do so, aud still think that he is a much r man ia a boat than Beach. Although patriotism somewhat sup- . the expression of that sentiment, yet I onestly believe that it is held by a majority of the sporting men of Australia, and should Han come back and row to win he will find plenty of money to back him. Beach is not nearly so finished or expert a rower as the Canadian. He has but little science and depends almost entirely upon muscie. From what I have heard of the mani think that Teemer could give him a tight race.“ To-Morrow’s Games. The St. Louis and Cincinnati clubs play the sec- ond game of their present series to-morrow after- moon at Sportsman's Park, and White and Snyder will officiate as the visitors’ battery, while Fouts and Bushong wili be put in by the home club.

Boyle, who was in the box for St. Louis, pitched a magnificent game, and four of the opposite nine reached first up to the eighth inning. In the latter, however, they suc- ceeded in solving Boyle’s curves, and hits by Rad- ford, Hines, Carroll and Start, to- gether with errors by St. Louis, enabled the Rhode Islanders to score three runs, which won the gam. st.

Beats Her Record. To Cleveland now belongs the honor of having the fastest mile on record trotted at the grouads of the Cleveland Driving Park. Yesterday was the day set for an attempt by Mr. Bonner’s Maud S., who already held the mile-trotting record of 2:0914, to lower the record, and fully 20,000 people were on hand te witness the event. The track was not in ag good condition as could have been desired, as the rains of the night before had left it somewhat heavy. The day was 4 very hot one, but a cool breese served to lessen the force of the heat, while at the same time it was not enough to materially affect the epeed of the trotter. Owing to the heavy track few believed Maud S. would accomplish the desired result, and while ne pools were sold on the event,a number of private bets were made at heavy odds that the record would not be lowered. It was announced by the judges before any of the regular races had been called that Mr. W.

New Lon, July 31.—The spot which has been selected for the resting place of Gen. Grantis the ‘highest point in Riverside Park on à bluff over loeking the Hudson river. The mon- ument, when empleted will be visible from two States, and from the river for many miles in both directions. The park has been used very lit- tle as a public resort, and while it isin the city is oomparatively retired from the rush and bustle of business and pleasure. Since it has been chosen the park has been visited by thousands of people who have viewed the site of the tomb. All the beauty which the spot possessts comesfrom its natural advantages, as lithe improvement has been made on the original ground, and the park will have to be built around the tomb. This part of the park really amounts to little more than a large burial lot. The spot is most unsightly at present, as new soil is piled about, half completed excavations may be seen and piles of curbing and pipes are scattered around. The park property at this peint is only about 200 feet in width, and is nearly opposite the end of One Hundred and Twenty-fifth street. The highest promoatory, within a short distance of the Claremont Hotel, has been selected as the place for the perma- nent tomb, while a second knoll, some 200 feet south has been selected for the temporary vault. Itisin the extreme northern end of the park, betweén Riverside drive and the river. The drive is a beautiful one, and gives some of the finest views on the Hudson and of the surrounding country. The river rolls away to the north, and the boats may de seen shooting hither and thither on thesurface. There are many historical associations clustering around the par- ticular spot where the tomb will be built, Clare- mont Hotel stands thera, the residence at ane time et Lord Courtaey, afterwards Earl of Devon, and eee KEP Tee 0 1 2 . 20 2 n RN N TORR: Sey * 4 * The Spot in Riverside Park Where * : : 2 - . „ 3 2 2 * _— ‘eit yea AER TOR 2 OR ep Pre * UPPER PART AND SURROUNDINGS OF RIVERSIDE PARK.

To get the view of the site and of its surroundings one has only to take a drive along the roadway which passes through the park and encircles the spot for the monument. The drive is very broad, and will be splendidig suited for the pageant. The park proper begins at Geventy-second street, where the roadway of the park opens | aoe @OULEVARD = — “CLAREMONT”’—RIVERSIDE PARK. with an imposing entrance, It runs along a biuff of ‘the Hudson, but not on the extreme edge, sufficient room being left be- tween the road and the edge of the bluff for narrow stretches of lawn and flower beds. The small bronze statue of Washington stands on the line of Kighty-eighth street. Looking ever the edge one sees a thickly wooded slope leading to railroad tracks and shanties on the shore of the river. Take the Cool Bée Line Reute.
