Iington. The Obstacles St. Louis Has to Con- tend With in Kansas—Low Rates From New Orleans to Oswego, Kan. —Rates to Columbus, Kan., and Hamilton, Mo. — Startling State- ments From Springfield. The way that a railroad company will fight for a little shipment of freight without auy money in it is amusing, and usually incomprebensible to any one without the railroad world. It seems funny that a railroad during a “war of rates” will not only fight for business that does not pay, but will make contracts for months ahead that are bound to involve losses of thousands of dollar. This wild rush for freight cut St. Louis out of a great deal of business in past years, and particularly of late for Western roads, and St. Louis lines with both an Eastern and Western connection will make such a rate around cheap rates from Kansas City to the East as forced the Western lines to equalize matters, and place St. Louis on an equitable‘footing—or rather on a footing as nearly equitable as the bridge arbitrary will allow. Perhaps the most absurd case of this kind, ‘however, was that encountered by a firm here which sold some goods to San Francisco, and de sired to ship them from Frankfort, Ohio. They ordered them consigned to the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Road at Kansas City, never supposing for a moment but that the goods would pass through St. Louls. Instead, they went from Cin- cinnati via the Louisville and Nashville road to Memphis, and over the Kansas City, Fort Scott and Gult to Kansas City, thus traveling over 975 miles where they could have made 625 miles in ao almost direct line and made better time, This is something after the style of going to New York from St. Louis via San Francisco. ANOTHER CASE of railroad peculiarity is related by a St Louis gentieman who is making a heavy bid for Western trade. On account of the classification he finds himself somewhat handicapped, but by making close figures he manages to steal a little business from Kansas City at times. Not long since he managed to sell a bill of goodsin Beloit, Kan., which buyer ordered shipped by Wabash and Union Pacific. The salesman, forgetting instruc tions and knowing the Missouri Pacific ran through Beloit, marked the order for that road. When the goods arrived the consignee complained that his orders had not been followed and some corre- spondence ensued. Finally the contracting freight agent of the Union Pacific at this point called upon the gentleman who had shippei the goods to ask an explanation. During the course of the conversation, the gentie- man was looking over some correspondence in the freight agent's hands when he came across a most remarkable document. It was a letter setting forth that the agent of the Union Pacific at Beloit had written the assistant geveral freight agent of the road at Kansas City, that ——, of Beloit, would soon be placing an order for certain goods and mm HAD rr votive —— & ——, Kawsas City, 0 Loox our as ST. LOUIS HOUSES WERE AFTER THE ORDER, This is a decided novelty in railroad methods Hereafter no Kansas City house will need senda traveling salesman to points on the Union Pacific. All that will be necessary is to notify the local agent of the road that they are in the market and they will be kept posted on the needs of the town. This same gentleman says that he cut 10 per cent on prices of all goods to try to capture Western trade, but found rates were so far against him he could do very little. This can be attributed largely to classifica- tion differences. The Post-Dispaton correspond- ent at COLUMBUS, KAN., writes: From the best information I can glean, there has been quite a transfer of trade from St, Louis to Kansas Oity, and wholly on account of the high freight rates. The merchants claim that they can buy goods in Kansas City just as cheap as in St. Louis, and the freight rates are not half as high. This is particulariy true of grocery men and hard- ware men.“ Columbus is 844 miles from St. Louis and 148 from Kansas City. From Chicago it is distant about 695 miles. The rates quotedare: Dry goods—St. Louis $1 10, Kansas City 60 cents; hardware—8t. Louis 61 cents to $1 15, Kansas City 80 to 50 cents, C- cago 60 cuxts TO $1 20; sugar, coffee, etc., St. Louis N cents, Kansas City 80 cents; whisky, St Louis 75 correspondent people have no objection to trading with St. Louis, - but freights are too bigh. Kansas City gets a great - @eal of trade on this account. Points further away ‘usually agree to equalize freight rates with St. says that his firm shipped two buggies to Cawker four weeks ago and they were weighed under the rules of the Weighing Association. They were charged at 475 pounds each, which is all correct. A ‘Kansas City house, however, says Mr. Neave, ships precisely the same articles on an estimated weight of VO pounds each. The consignee at Cawker made outa bill for the difference between Kansas City and St. Louis freight chagges, which was turned over to Mr. Emerson of the Missouri Pacific with the request that the matter be straightened out. These are samples of the methods by which Western e is being weaned away from St. Louis. ing to Missouri, the following letter received by a St. Louis house from its traveling salesman at HAMILTON, MO., develops Burlington methods. The salesman writes under date, August 14th: “Mr. —— of this place complains about freight rates, and asks that we meet Chicago rate, which you will find on the other side of this sheet. His understanding of the matter is that the Railroad Uompany gives & Co. a rebate and that they do not haveto standit. Our fourth class rate to above point is 40 cents.” On the back of this letter is a copy ofa letter from a Chicago house to the man at Hamilton: „Dran Strn—We would like very much to sell you your miscellaneous hardware. and we will make you this offer. We will agree to allqw you any excess of freight over the following named rates: FIRST CLASS, 70 CENTS. SECOND CLASS, 55 CENTS, THIRD CLASS, 40 CENTS. FOURTSA CLAS, 80 CENTS. “This to apply om oraers taken after the present date only and to apply until further notice. We make you these rates as we are desirous of piacing ourselves on an equal footing with any other market, and we believe these rates are lower than you can ship goods from St. Louis. They are identical with the tariff from St. Louis to Came- ron. The tariff rates from Chicago to Hamilton are: FIRST CLASS, 80 CENTS. SECOND CLASS, 67 CENTS. THIRD CLASS, 50 CENTS. FOURTH CLASS, 38 CENTS. The distance from St. Louis to Hamilton via Wabash and Burlington is 267 miles; from Chicago by the Burlington the distance is 434 miles The Burlington will not take freight at St. Louis for Hamilton, because of its agreement with the Wa- bash, but Mr. Sanborn of the Burlington says that by the round-about road by which the Burlington could take it, via Bushnell, they would not charge more than Chicago rates, while tariff rates from St. Louis via the Wabash are less than those from Chicago. Mr. Sanborn believes that the rebate in this case is taken out of the merchants* profit, and does not come outof the freight rate. The mer- chant at Hamilton, however, does not seem to think 80. Oe "FRISCO METHODS. How the GulfCombination Harts St. Louis —Missouri Pacific Local Kates. By Telegravh to the Post-Dispatch. SPRINGFIELD, Mo., August 26.—In a conversation with the representative of a St. Louis house to-day I gleaned the following: He ships m St. Louls to Nichols Junction over the Frisco, a distance of 248 miles, the goods being farm iuwpiements, ata rate of O 1-2 cents per hundred in car load lots. He now pays on the same class of goods from St. Louis to Seymour, a point on the Gulf Road 278 miles from St. Louis, @ cents, being a charge of 191-2 CENTS ron THE 35 MILES FROM SPRINGFIELD TO Sr. mourn. He pays to Mansfield from St. Louis, over the same route, abeut 295 miles from St. Louis, 48 cents, being 4 CHARGE oF 271-2 cenTs For THE 50 MILES From SPRINGFIELD TO MANSFIELD, and until West Plains (Howell Oounty) is reached. From West Plains eastward, however, to points on the Gulf Road, as Iron Mountain competition is felt or reached, the rates begin to deerease, so that to several points between West Plains and Hoxie ship- ments can be made over the Gulf Road at less rates than are charged to points between Mansfield and West Plains, the shipments being invariably made over the Nuo and Gulf. The Gulf Road's plea for not being able to make lower rates is that any reduction that it may make will be offset by an increased charge by the ‘Frisco, the ‘Frisco seeming by this to be favorable to the maintenance of the present high rate to the point above indi- cated. MISSOURI PACIFIO LOCALS. We have it on reliable authority thata car load of binder twine was shipped from St. Louis, a short time since, to Washington on the Missouri Pacific, to be distributed at Washington, New Haven and Hermann, all points on the Missouri Pacific within twenty-five miles of each other, and the local freight on part of the shipment from Washington to New Haven, a distance of thirteen miles, was just 1 cent less per hundred pounds than it would have been if shipped local from St. Louis to New Haven, a distance of sixty-eight miles; showing that the buyer paid more for freight on his twine, by reason of these arbitrary charges levied between Washington and New Haven, though shipped at car load rates from St. Louis to Wash- ington, nearly the entire distance from St. Leuis to New Haven, thanif he had accepted the local rate schedule as a standard from St. Louis to New Ha ven in the first instance. The shipment from Washington to Hermann, twenty-five miles, of a fraction of the same car load actually cost more under the lecal standard be- teen these points than it would have cost if shipped the entire distance from St. Leuis to Hermann at locai rates, thereby losing all the ben- efits deriyed from the car-load rate to Washing- ton. FAVORS FOR SPRINGFIELD. Again: Wagon manufacturers and jobbersin St. Louis and east of that point are required to pay local rates om all shipments of wagens when shipped in less than carload lots, while the Spring- field Wagon Company can ship at car-load rate even if it ships fractional car loads, provided it ships three or more wagons. This privilege is al- lowed Springfield by both the Gulf and ‘Frisco, while it is not given to St. Louis or the East. THE WRONG GLASS.

The Wabash Strikers’ Committee Leave for Home To-Day. A Severe Letter to Labor Commis sioner Kochtitzky—All Quiet at the Shops—What the Knights of Labor Representatives Are Doing in the East. ‘ The loca! situation in Knights of Labor circles is practically unchanged since yesterday. The Wab- ash committee is still here and held a session to day at the Hotel Brown. What is accomplished at these meetings is closely guarded from the outside public by the committeemen and all attempts to ascertain the character of the proceedings are fu- tie. From conversations with Messrs. Cough- lin and Russell, it is inferred that the Wabash com- mittee has completed its labors at this point and that the members will leave for their homes this evening or to-morrow morning. Coughlin remains over for several days to address a number of iabor demonstrations here and in East St. Louis. The important action which. the commit- tee is said to have taken yesterda is referred to mysteriously as an order which wil affect the entire country west of New Tork,“ but further than that nothing definite can be learne I. “The National Executive Committee has the whole matter in its hands now.“ said Mr. Laughlin toa Post-DispaTtcH reporter this morning, and I bave not the power or author- ity to divaige anything — | their proposed action in the matter. They are holding an important conference in New York to-day, and its outcome may put an entirely new phrase upon the strike.

I am neither authorized to state nor speculate upon. It would be bad policy to SHOW OUR HAND t the railroads and give them an oppor- tunity to anticipate our next move. Notni will be done hastily, however, and I hardly thin there is any immediate danger of a general strike. Any changes in the situation will be the result of action by the National Committee. We have about completed our labors for the present. “Is it likely that Major Kochtitaxy will be ro- a conference the Governors of : the last general the National Committee, for tue purpose of bringing about an arbitration of the differences between the Knights and the rail- 8 * “Kochtitzky has not treated us fairly in this fight,” continued . Coughlin. “We had every reasen to believe from his actions and assurances, when with us two weeks ago, that he would do ali in his power to bring about aconference between Mr. Talmage aod the Kuights for a solution of the points at issue, and now he says that tue men on the Missouri Pacific and the roads other than the Wabash have no grievances, and he doesn't see the cause for the interference of the Knights empioyed upon them in the Wabash trouble. Then, as a last resort—e last resort, mind you—he proposes that of the four in to. bave exerted every possible influence to obtain arbitra- tion, and the most critical period in the lockout as arrived.

A trip along the traccs and among the shops this morning disclosed a quiet state of affairs among the workmen of the Missouri Pacific.

Tbhe Knights’ Side. By Telegraph to the Post-Dispatch. New Yor, August 26.—The Executive Board of the Knights of Lavor, who are in the city now seek- ing for a conference with the officers of the Wabash system in order to settle the troubles now existing between that road and its employes, are hopeful that the views expressed by Vice-Pr:si- dent Amos L. Hopkins of the Wabash, St. Louis and Pacific Railway, yesterday, are generally en- tertained by the officers of the road, and that there will be no trouble in bringing about the desired conference. Your correspondent saw Frederick Turner, the general secretary and treasurer of the Knights of Labor and one of the Executive Board, yesterday. He said: “There is a general misconception in regard to this trouble, As a matter ot fact, it is a lockout and not a strike at all. The facts in the Le na locked All we wish 20Wledre and consent, be should not only be willing but glad to assert his authority and force them to keep up the terms of that agreement.

The speaker was an illy clad woman of about forty years, and clinging to her skirts were several chil- dren, the oldest of whom was certainly not more than ten years of age. Sergeant McGrew looked at her calmly, and then said: “You have been here often enough to know that you caa not see the Mayor at this time of the day. Come to-morrow at 10 o’clock.” The reporter entered the inger sanctuary and there found Commodore Smith working at his desk. Commodore, said the reporter, tell me something about the Mayor's methods of issuing pardons.” “Now, young man you have tackled a subject that would take hours to explain. Iwill say this much, that some intermeddling people have been 1 ill-timed remarks about the pardon of one John Yunnon. His pardon was +" by Justice McCaffrey, who tried him in the Second District Police When the case tirst came up Justice McCaffrey heard it hurriedly and fined the man. Subsequent developments showed that the sentence did the man an injustice and he came here and saidso. The Mayor accordingly pardoned him. No pardon is granted here except on the recom- mendation of some good citizen, When such recommendation is made and after the Mayor is thoroughly satisfied that the man is a good citizen and is trustworthy, he adopts his suggestion and pardons the prisoner. Now, Sergeant McGrew can tell you more about the classes of peopie who are pardoned than ican. Go to him.“ rgeant M oGrew said: The story is a long one and one that few people have any idea of. lu the tirst place the docket of each Police Court comes nere and from it we caa see just who is fined. Pardons are granted on the recommendations of men whom the Mayor knows to be trustworthy, and in whom he can eee confidence, and further- more, it must be understood that the Mayor never graocts any remit or pardon until be has gone over the case and all its details and knows exactly what is wanted. Ia considering fives they are divided into two classes, those which range above 85 and those which range, below. In tue former case it indicates a serious offense, and whena man has been fined above that amount one or more times previously, the case is always referred to the Chief of Police, whose recommendation is finai. Men whose finegare above $25 are, as a class, bard cases and NOTORIOUS VIOLATORS of the law, but it often happens that when executive clemency is granted upou mises of refyrm such clemency is beneficial have known mauy instances where pardons have been granted and the men, wuo were formeriy hard cases, have reiormed and are now respectable citizens. Then thereisa different kind of clemency exercised in cases of wite-beating. It often happens nat aman is sent down for tun offense and leaves a wife aud several cuildren unprovided for. T. ese starve as long as they cao stand it, and thenthe wife comes and pieads fora pardon. It is tue right thing to grant a on give - man à cuauce to support his family, and it 18 a fact that such is of great value. In these Cases a on is never granted, except on application of the wife, aud her request must be backed by that of some reputable citizen. “The next class to ve cousiiered is that of a hard working man and a good citizen, who goes to the Work House as the resu t of one spree. His friends and fellow workmen ask for his pardon, aud prom- ise that he will go to work at once. In such Cases a pardon is granted on payment of costs. “The next Class tuat comes before us is that of two reputabie citizens who quarrel, and in a city with a great population it is to be expecied that neighbors will quarrei upon a trivial provocatioa. Cross Cuarges are made by each, and. as a result, both are fined. They are seat down to the cooler, and after meditatin,. they decide that peace is very desirable, and both suaKke bao and become again. The Mayor is informed and both es are remitted upon promise of future good behavior. The next class taxes in chronic druoks who belong to respec.av.e families, aod who suffer by their chronic misdeeds; a par- don is granted upon tue promise of tue prisouer's friends to seud him out of the city. These are the princ: pal cases that come under our notice. “Well,” asked the reporter, “how does the exercise of executive clemency by Mayor Francis compare with tnat of otner Mayors?” “lnat is adeiicate question to answer, but this much I can say, hat Mayor Francis is the most painstaking mao in tuis respect tuat i ever knew.” “Has be issued more or less pardons than his predecessors?” “| wou't answer that question. It would be en- tirely unofficiai.”’ Does ae inquire into each case?” “Yes, he never issues a pardon until thoroughly satisiied that suca would vue the right course to pursue. Furthermore, ne will never grant a par- don iu any case wuere he thinks theappiication and indorsement was influeuceu by motives of gain. In otuer words, (here are no pardon brokers now.” “Were there ever any such around tuis offive?” “There were, but 1 do not meau to say that other Mayors „new Of it. ‘‘uere were at one dime a Class of mea who made ita business to use tueir luflu- ence with tne Mayor and charged a mall fee tor doing so, But Mayor Francis bas puta stop to it by ‘exercising extraoru care n inquiring into the merits of the Case, inguiring more ticulariy into the character of tie bn making the recommendation.

Opening ofthe Annual Convention in This City—List of Delegates—Mayor Francis’ Welcome—A Meeting at Memorial Hall. The Lindell Hotel has been the scene of a good deal of handshaking to-day incident to the meeting of the delegates to the Beta Theta Pi Society's an- nual convention. The groups that gathered around the rotunda’s pillars orstopped tochat on the stairs were thoroughly representative ones. Here a recent offspring of some cutler of learning brightened the collection of aces with us — countenance, while in another group all were listening respect fully to some delegate whose gray hair spoke of his long standing as a member of the society, but were not tuick enough to prevent him from relating some in- cident which did not to call out a uearty laugh. The visitors as the appeared, though somewhat ben i were sufficient- ly exhilarated by the cool bracing air to respond heartily to each greeting and join enthusiasucaily in swapping remiuisceoces. The Beta Theta Pi Society is one of tae Greek let- ter organizations whose members are so widely scattered over the country. This body, tne others, has for its aims promotion of culture and the strengthening of the bonds of friendship between college men. It was organized in 1889 at the Miami University, Ohio, and bas grown to pussess forty-two chapters which are spread over twenty- three States of the Union, a majority of which will have representatives at convention. This anuual meeting has really au importance outside of its relation to the society holding it, inasraucn as it it the first anuual convention af a college society ever heid West of the Mississippi River and will probably lead the way tuwarda general recognition by the collegiate frateruities of the value of choosi tuls central location for their annuai gatherings. The society meets in Cincinnati reguiarly every four years, the other places for assembiing being se- sev by vote. THE BETAS, the diminutive name wuicao they give themselves aud pronounce after the continental method, are quite well represented in tuis city.

RETURNED THE DECORATION. Lowpon, August 26.—The Paris correspondent of the Daily News says: The Spanish General Sala- manca returns to the German Government the decoration of the Prussian Red Eagle. It is hoped that this will shame Kiog Alfonso into resigning the Coloneicy of German Uhians.” BOYCOTTING GERMAN BEER Thechief towns of Arragon are boycotting Ger- nun beer. QUBEN VICTORIA AS ARBITRATOR. The Standard's Berlin correspondent says that if the Carolines dispute be referred to arbitration, Queen Victoria, not King Humbert, will decide the question. GERMANY DECLINES ARBITRATION. The Germaa Government declines to either pro- pose or accept arbitration of the differences be- tween it and the Government of Spain concerning the Caroline Islands affair. AN UNFOUNDED RUMOR. The rumor that Queen Victoria will arbitrate the Carolines dispute between Spain and Germany is not believed here, as England joined with Germany in the note of opposition to Spain's claims. 4 PACIFICO UTTERANCE Beri, August 26—.The Cologne Gazette pub- lishes an amicabie article on the Carolinis troub'e, and says it hopes the difficulty will be soon re- moved, and that mutual good will will strengthen the old friendship between Germany and Spain. England. BRADLAUGH S CAMPAIGN MANIFESTO Loxpox, August 26.—Mr. Bradlaugh has issued a campaign inanifesto to his constituency in North- ampton. In this be urges his majority to continue the refusals of the House of Commons to permit him to take his seat until the Commons be shamed or compelled by popular feeling to aecord him his rights. Mr. Bradlaugh holds up to his constituents the example of the voters of Mid- diesex in continuing to return John Wilkes, not- withstanding his repeated expulsion by the House, until the issue became a public question and the Commons were forced to submit to the will of the elie ctors. PARNELL’S DUBLIN SPEECH. Mr. Parnell’s Dublin speech of yesterday has thoroughiy aroused the Conservative press of En- gland. The Times says that no prudent politician can underrste the importance of the action taken by the Irish Nitionalists at their conference in Dublin yesterday. “Mr. Parnell’s programme,” continues the Times, “may, however, meet with a fate similar to that which befell O'Connell at the time when Irishmen wereas confident as they are now. Mr. Parnell demands the repeal of the Union. So the Irish question is no longer a question of local ee:f-governinent. This mignt be acceded to by England, which will never listen to a plan for the separation of Ireland.“ THE STANDARD'S COMMENTS. The Standard savs: “Mr. Parnell has declared var. It willbe ashame and a disaster if English statesmen of both parties fail to baflehim. We do not pretend toignore the danger to which the Im- perial unity isexposed. Mr. Parnell now holdsa strong hand. The late Liberal majority in Parlia- ment could afford to ignore him, but it will be different in a Parliament evenly balanced between the two parties. Mr. Parnell has, however, rivals by the score. He knows very well how precarious his tenure of authority is. If both the Whigs and Tories make it clear from the outset that Mr. Par- nell's demand for home rule will be met with firm opposition his influence w:il be doomed.” THE YEWS' POSITION. The News tates advantage of the excitement over Mr. Parnell’s bold declaration of Irish inde- pendence to exhibit the advantage which a larg: Liberal majority would be to the country. The Liberals, argues the News, are more likely to op- pose the Parnellite demands than the Conserva- tives. France. THE REMAINS OF ADMIRAL COURBET. Pants. August 26.—The remains of Admiral Cour- bet, which were brought home from the East on the ironclad Bayard, were landed at Hyeres to day. Mass had previously been celebrated on board the Rayard. The casket was covered with wreaths, and salvos of artillery were fired during the disembarkation of the body. The weather was brilliant and the scene was very impressive. GERMAN FLAG REMOVED. The German flag recently hoisted on French Island, off the Victorian coast in the South Pacific, bas been removed by order of Prince Bismarck, at the request of France. Austria. WON T GO TO GMUNDEN. Kremwsren, August 26.—The Czar has abandoned the idea of going to Gmunden to visit the Duke of Cumberland. A TRIPLE ALLIANCE. Sr. Pererspurc. August 28. The Journal De St. Petersburg, commenting on the Imperial confer- ence at Kremsier, expresses the hope that it will result in strengthening the existing cordiality be tween Austria and Russia, The absence of Em- perer William and Prince B'smarck does not, the Journal says, signify that there is any slecking of cordiality among the members of the triple alli- ance.

A PLEASED PEKISONEK. Maxwell More Content With His Cell Than With Hi« Prison Freedom. Despite the fact that he has been credited with an inordinate vanity which made him enjoy beartily the attentions paid him by the outside public. Walter H. Lennox-Maxwell declares that he is delighted in the change in his mode of life and that he is so contented while in his cell that if it were not for health’s sake he would not care to leave his ceil during the tu o hours devoted daily to exercise in the corridor. He was fee ing very —— fe afternoon when con- versing with a Post-Dterpatom reporter and said that he believed thathe was gaining rather than losing flesh during hiscoufinement. On the subject of the alleged discovery in Philadelphia of a man who had seen Preller there tue the murder he did not care to speak, “I suppose you will have such an important witness brougut here!“ the reporter asked. ; “That is a matter I shall leave to my counsel. I think it is very probable that Preller was seen. He seemed to like Philadeiphia very well. “You mist have been there about the time the gentlemen says hesaw Freller first, towards the end of March!“ es, I must have been in Philadelphia then.“ Aud played billiards with Preiler there? “We played together. He was a strong player, was Preller, and I often think now that be could play even better than he used to when we were engaged at a “You don't remember Preller's ever mentioning to you the incident of his having played with a stranger!“ “He may have done so, but I don't remember it.’ Maxwell rather compiained of the toue in which some of his lady correspondents are addressing him. He received a letter from one of them to-day who intormed him that she was going to assist in his prosecution, and would certainly secure his conviction, as she had been studying criminal law for two months with a prominent lawyer, and was fully equipped with legal knowledge. In the event of her faiiing, with the co-operation of the Circuit Attorney and his assistants, to convict him by next October, she intended to inflict upon him condign puuishmeut of a nature which she would neve reveal before hand, out which would be too terri- ule for utterance. But very few peor’ were allowed to see the prisoner during the day, and then only upon the request some prominent official or citizen. Secretary Tate of the Police Board, introduced a couple of his friends from the interior, who quite pleased the prisoner with the quiet way in which they enjoyed the grea: show, being satisfied with gazing athimforafew moments, aud a’spersing Wichout making any of the amazing requests which many of the city visitors made and which the — grants with an urbanity hardly to be ex- pecied. A Lady Who Met Preller. By Telegraph to the Post-Dispatch. Mitwavkesr, Wis., August 26.—Mrs. Lydia Ely, Superintendent of the Art Department of the Mil- waukee Exposition, was acquainted with C. Arthur Prelier, the victim of the St. Louis trunk murder. She met him on the steamer returning from Europe a year ago last February, and saw a great deal of him during the passage. From observations made during the trip,she pronounced Preller a gentieman of culture aud refinement. His kindness of beart was manifested in attentions to the passengers dur- ing the troubies of the sea voyage, and throughou: the entire run across the Atlantic his actions be- spoke bim as one of nature's noblemen. Mra. Ely can vot associate a man of such sterling virtues with a conspiracy to swindle a life insurance company, and 18 of the opinion that Preller was baseiy murdered. Mrs. Ely, who is a portrait painter, naturally took a close observation of Preiler’s features. She says she noticed on the edges of his teeth a mark that cannot but lead to the iden! ification of his remaina. She says the teeth were discolored to a dark brown tint, the blemis’. being in the bone itseif and not on tue surface. This mark on Preller's teeth was made conspicuous to her by -Preiler’s habit of smoking cigarettes while in conversation. Mrs. Ely says that ever siſce reading the accounts of the finding of Prefier’s body she has had the un- comfortacle feeling that he must have been alive when put into the trunk, and that be subsequently caine to life aud then died of suffocation. — ee A JAIL DRAMATIST. d Kelly Making a Play Ont of the Mar well-Preller Trag dy.

Salamonsxi was accosted by a lady at the Lindell Hote! last Saturday, and she claimed to be his wife, etc. As a friend of Mr. Salamonski, and cognizant of all the facts, I assure you and the public there is not one wora of truth in the statement of that woman, that she is the wife of Mr. T Salamonski. I know him to be a single man, and he came to St. Louis very highly recommended by responsible parties as a. business man. he woman who claims to be his wife is known as the wife of C. H. McDermott, 105 Summer street, Boston, Mass., and I have the proof that she is rec ognized by McDermott. “Among the irresistible evidence in my posses sion is tne following interrupted telegram sent to her husband, or the man who is known to the world as her husband: “Sr. Louts.

Arrest of One of the Principals—His Confession—Part of the Work Done in St. Louis—The New Orleans End of the Conspiracy—The Only Confed- erate of the Prisoner Located. One of the heaviest cases of counterfeiting known to the detective service in this century and the first case of crime against a foreizn government attempted under the new United Staffs jaw, as far as is known to the local officials, has been brought to earth here in St. Louis. It is a conspiracy against the Brazilian Government and involves $342,000 in amount. The head and front of the scheme was located here in St. Loufa, and the intended fraud was discovered in this city. So far as is known only two men are involved in the ot and one of them is now in the custody of the United States Marshal. He was arrested on August 17, and his name is Lucius A. White. ‘ihe discovery of the contemplated fraud did not come from the de- tective service, but from Augus" Gast & Co., the prin ers who were employed to do the work. On June 2% a man giving the name of L. A. White went to August Gast & Co. and ordered 8,000 labels for cigar boxes. Toe design iven for the labels was a national treasury note of razil, which was to be printed inthe finest styie and on the finest paper, avd on one edge of it on a continuation of the paper was to be printed a label of a brand of cigars. Gast & Co. took the order and proceeded to fil. The work was continued up to the point of making tne plates. Some of the work was done on steeiand the rest was lithographed in the best style of work- manship. he firm suspected nothiug until the first proof was taken and then the result was so excellent and the IMITATION OF THE BRAZILIAN NOTE so complete and deceiving that their suspicions were aroused. Not being aware of the new law existing, making it a crime to counterfeit obligations of a foreign government. they notified the Brazilian Consul in this city of the order and later notified the consul of the same government at New York. Consulting fur- ther on the matter with their attorneys they became cognizant of the United States law, and the wuole matter was laid before United States District Attor- ney. Bliss. No intimation of their suspicions was given to White, and the work was continued as if nothing was wrong. Under instruction of the Government officials here the labels were printed for delivery. White was told to call for them on August 17. The detectives were in wailing for him, and obtained knowledge of the instructions and of bis intentions. The labels were to be delivered at the Hotel Moser. where White was stopping, and the same night he was placed under arrest by deputy marshals de- tail for the purpose. White took his arrest coolly. He was not removed from the hotel, but was carefully guarded in his room, while the fact of the arrest was kept as quiet as possible in order that his companions in the plot might be apprebended. The fact of the arrest havine been made leaked out and was known, but the officiais used the most strenuous endeavors to prevent any publication of the matter in order that no notice might be given to the conspirators, ifany existed. The ut- most was done to !ocate the others interested in the job. White, who is a man about 34 years of age, of medium height, with dark complexion, hair, eyes and mustache and goatee, was searched, as was bis room at the Hotel Moser. some $200 IN CASH, several diamonds and a gold watch and chain were found. By carefuliy following what ciews were to be picked up, the identity of his partner was also secured, and he was followed up and is believed now to be located. he r made a_ confession, which is believed to de false, im so far as it relates to his confederates and to the scheme which was on hand. He stated that his home was at Whitney, Texas, but that he had lived i» Brazil since his youth, or at least for eighteen years past. The latter part of the confession is borne out by his. 8 and appearance. He waid that he returned to Texas some six montus ago and went to farming. While there he meta man named Lane, who claimed to have known him in Brazil, and proposed a plan to him by which they could make $40 a day and expenses: He a ked what that was and Lane expiained his plan of having these cigar labels printed and used. Lane gave him $50), and attempts were made to have the work done in New York and Chicago, but without success. D came to 8. Louis with the result which been described. The greater of this confession was belſeved by the — to be fictitious, and a part ot it is known to 80 White was taken before Commissioner Cullen and waived examination, andthe hearing of the case was set for ten days from August 17, whica falis on to-morrow. While Lane is believed to be 4 FICTITIOUS PERSON and much of the confession is not true, itis known with considerable certainty that there was but one confederate, but not of that name. This confederate has been located as has been stated, and itis believed that with bis arrest all of the participants in the scheme in this country will be in custody. It is believed, however, although no definite in- formation is held down ou that score, that the prime movers here are in connection with Confed- erates in Brazil, and that a conspiracy existed for the printing of the bills here, and a of them there. The arrest the other man and further investigation in conjunction with the Brazilian authorities wili bring the whole affair to light. White, the man aow in custody, is not known tothe detectives. as a counterfeiter and it is not thought that he is an oid hand at the busi- ness, but the boldness of the operation and the shrewdness with which it was carried out speak well for bis nerve and ability. This is only the St. Louis end of the plan. Only the front face of the bills were printed here. There piece of work just as to be done, and it is in this shrewdness of the plan is shown Of course one side of a bill would be useless aud would not arouse much suspicion attached toa label. Before the work here could be of aug v. lu. the other side of che bill must be secured. It wus learned, threugh the arrest of White, that this important part of the was to be done in New Orleans. While White was doing his work here, the other work was in progress at that city. The authorities in this city communicated with the authorities at New Orleans, and requested them to investigate the matter there. A telegram taken from a Rew Orleans paper stated that li laies vere found in New orthe printing of the back of the bill. THE PLATES WERE NOT FOUND, and were not completed, but all pre Leen made for the printing witha New Orleans firm wuen the work was stopped by the officials, This werk was also done ou tue 1 the bills were desired for labels for cigar xes. ei may be readily seen phic taken The plates were faithful copies Brazilian Treasury note A milreis engravings lithegrapas. true d ify I . m to other parties to pass, $1,000 fine and . lates ot such, or the use $5,000 fine and five year's imprisonment THE CONFEDERATE of has been tracke! and located, and is belie as far a8 can be learned from the officials, to be u arresi. as ts pretty certain thas advices to that effect are expected momentarily.

The Pugilists Who Fought About Her Make Up With Each Other. From the London World. The committee of the Turf Club has done jus- tice in solemn conclave (Lord Barrington in the chair) concerning the matters at issue between the Ear] of Lonsdale and Sir George Chet- wynd. Gen. Owen Williams at once offered a humble apology to the club on behalf of the noble peace-breaker and an equally humble apology to Sir George Chetwynd was also read In consideration of these humblé apologies, Sir George Chetwynd has been requested to with- draw his resignation of membership, and Lord Lonsdale has been allowed to do the same, Gen. Williams has, I am credibly informed, writ- ten a letter to Lord Lonsdale, in which he ex- presses a hope that in consideration of the clem- ency extended to hin, he will carefully abstain from any “reflection” on Sir George Chetwynd aud frankly confesses that he shall feel himseif bleifany further provoca- tion is offered. A process verbal has been duly posted in the club, and nobody seems inclined to with the very general opinion taat Sir George Chetwynd has come woll out of a very try- ing ordeal. It is to be hoped that Lord Lons- dale is sufficently grateful to Lord de Roths- child, Mr. Henry Chaplin, and Gen. Owen Williams. The following notice is posted up at the Turf Club: Lord Lonsdale having apologized to Sir George Chetwynd, and Sir George Chetwynd having accepted the apology, Lord — will be permitted to withdraw his resignation of — . — of the Turf Club, and Sir George Chetwynd is requested to withdraw his resigna- tion of membership. It is said that the Prince of Wales interfered directly to bring this about; but many persons considered that it is nota question of whether Sir Ch is satisfied with an apol- mitt mit but whether Lonsdale, having com- an outrage on public manners by strik- ing Sir George Chetwynd in a public park, ought to be allowed to remain a member of the club. Sometwenty-five years ago Major Gor- don and Capt. Kane had a similar game of fisti- cuffs in the park, and they were both turned out of their club for it. The Benefit of Being Jilted.

WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 26, 1885. WELL done, PARNELL! Our special correspondent has found Presi- dent CLEVELAND in the Adirondacks. — Tur repeal of the union between England and Ireland is a good enough programme for Ireland. PARNELL’S declaration in favor of a repeal of the union is enough to set every Irishman to singing the Shan Van Vocht.” Tun railroads of Missouri continue to offer inducements to the merchants and manufact- urers to go into business in other States. In the list of supernumerary pay grabbers in the pay rolls of the Alabama claims gang ap- pear the illustrious names of BLA and Fisn and FRELINGHUYSEN. Our FRaNK COCKRELL is not the only statesman who provides for his relatives at the public expense. eee — —— — Ir must make our Missouri freight agents turn green with en vy to learn that the Vera Crus Railway in Mexico, after reducing its tariff still charges $40 a ton for a haul of some 360 miles. This leaves the Missouri freight agent hopelessly in the rear even in shipments from St. Louis. Tux mobbing of the Mormon elders in Lon- don was a very natural sequel to the Hyde Park meeting. While the London populace is howling for the protection of its daughters the Mormon missionaries had better suspend opera- tions in that city till the excitement caused by the Pall Mall Gazette's revelations has sub- sided. THE revelations of the Alabama Claims Com- mission naturally attract attention to that kindred fraud, the French Spoliation Claims Commission and its eminent counsel. It would be very sad, indeed, if the payroll of the French Spoliation Claims should reveal heavy payments made without their having been earned. From the extreme precautions taken by General Manager TALMAGE to avoid a confer- ence with the Knights of Labor, one might in- fer that the Knights of Labor were members of the Merchants and Manufacturers’ Associa- tion. From the respectful distance which he interposes between himself and the association, one might infer that he mistook them for Knights of Labor. In Pennsylvania the two wings of the Demo- cratic party are engaged ina struggle to see which one will come out first and strongest in defense of a platform declaring that the Con- stitution isin force. Pennsylvaniais a little bit ahead of Missouri in this respect. In Mis- souri the Democratic leaders are remarkably careful of the feelings of the railroad monopo- lists, and dodge around the corner when they see a copy of the Constitution. Tax Post-DispatcH has had some harsh things to say about the policy of President Con- of the Wiggins Ferry Company in rais- ing the rates on St. Louis commerce. But in the light of our recent revelations of the charges made by the railroad companies, we are inclined to believe that President CLuBB raised his rates because he felt lonesome and was afraid it would look peculiar if he con- tinued a solitary exception to the fashion. THE Republicans of New York say that they do not_wish to shut the party door in the face of the Mugwumps. They declare that they love the Mugwumps, and that the ideal Re- publican organization is one in which the Mug- wump and the Stalwart can dwell together in loving harmony. The chastening effect of punishment has seldom been more beautifully illustrated than in the arrangements for the coming New York State Republican Conven- tion. — . —— — PAUPER BATTENBURG is observed to be S ws, OU eee eee , ; who is wafted into prominence by a chance ‘wave of politics, and that Mr. Kuitey owes his country the duty of providing for himself by working for an honest living. The theory that public service is a pensioners’ asylum is exclusively a Republican theory, and its ap- plication should be left exclusively to its in- ventors. a Ir is a small matter in itself that the Alabama Claims Commission has been made the congenial nest of a brood of sinecurists like WALKER BLaing, Freu jr., and young FRELINGHUYSEN, but it is an important thing as an indication of the kind of a government we should have had if Buarwm had been permitted to take charge of affairs. He would in his four years term of office have done more to bring this country near to personal government than Grant did in his whole eight years. THE sympathy of all right-minded people will be extended to every Republican editor who reads his own paper. The daily political news is little more than a record of swindles unearthed, inefficiency exposed, old abuses brought to light and every form of mismanage- ment, incompetence and rascality published as daily items. What with Commissioner LorINnG hiding his property, swindler AUFDEMORTE ex- tradited, the Geodetic and Coast Survey reve- lations and the pay roll of the Alabama Claims Commission, the perusal of a live morning Re- publican daily must be a bitter breakfast to a pure-minded and conscientious Republican editor. THE Mexican Government has repeated its declaration that it will stand by its decree of June 2. As thisdecree merely repudiates | every one of its financial obligations it is very easy to believe that the Government is sincere in its determination. It declares that in the matter of being robbed no preference shall be shown to one victim over another. Every one of them be robbed of all that he has. Looking ob its promises as all equally valid, Mexico declares that all of them shall be equally dishonored. This is a simple situation, and easily understood. No one has any excuse for indulging in any misapprehensions as re- gards Mexican finance or Mexican methods. The only thing remarkable in the declaration is that while Mexico proudly wraps the mantle of repudiation around ber and calls the world's attention to the completeness of the envelope, it is done as the preliminary to attempt to bor- row a large amount of money from admiring foreigners. A DIVIDED allegiance is naturally regarded with suspicion. The fidelity of one who at- tempts toserve two masters is fairly open to question. An office-holder isthe servant of the whole people, and they naturally expect him to devote himself wholly to his official duties. There may be men who can be con- spicuously active and efficient in campaign work without at all neglecting their official duties, or serve a party without impairing the higher allegiance the holders of public office owe to their country. But there is a well- founded distrust of the capacity of the average office-holder to do this, and therefore there is a well-founded prejudice against official activity in party warfare. Wielding the lever of official power with one hand and working the crank of the party machine with the other, the office-holder cannot escape suspicion, nor avoid giving offense to that great element of public opinion which objects to such a close connection of the two machines as tending to defile the public service, and at the same time to demoralize parties. Secretary MANNING has therefore set a good example in withdraw- ing from® the Democratic committee of his State. But there is surely more reason for ob- jecting to railroad officials than to Federal and State officials as members of party com- mittees, and there is hardly a party committee anywhere that does not need to be purged of its railroad attorneys. — A Fat Frauchise. From the New York World. It has been asserted that Senator John Sherman's recent visit to the Pacific coast was not wholly dis- connected with his individual interest in the Alaska Commercial Company, asitis called, which has the exclusive franchise of the seal fishery in the Alaska region. This company, which isa very close corporation, was organized in San Francisco on a nominal capital of $2,000,000. It is locally assessed on personal property tothe amount of $87,850, when the franchise is alleged to be worth at least $10,000,000, or $38,000,000 more than the United States Government paid to Russia for the whole of Alaska. The company has the right to catch seals on the Pribylov Islands tothe number of not mure than 100,000 a year, paying $2 for each skin taken and shipped, and in addition a rental of $55,000 a year. The average value of the skins is $17 , giving a total income of $1,750,000 from this source, making the rental and tax for se valuable a franchise seem ridiculous!y disproportionate to the enormous receipts of the company. But it is asserted that the company takes and ships annually atleast 200,000 seal, or twice the number permitted, and, moreover, that it makes no return whatever for valuable furs, such as bear, beaver and mink skins, the annual aggregate value of which is asserted to be even greater than that of the sealskins. 10 It is not at all surprising that the individual members of this company are millionaires. Should the matter come up in Congress, with a proposal to revise and increase the conditions upon which this enormously valuable franchise is held, Senator coffee, while the Americans drink eight times as the most stalwart of Republicans, President Cleveland has so far made a favorable impression upon the people. admirers of L.

We had never been friends before.” pade who either deserves or gets any sympathy. Anti-Discrimination. From the rhiladelphia Times. The Republicans having failed to accept the issue of anti-discrimination, the Democrats will profit by the later vitalization of the question, and take ad- vanced ground against railway ‘monopoly and discrimivation. Had the Republicans the chance to reconstruct their platform now, they would do the same; but they bave dealt their hand with the missing suit, and the Democrats will come to the front with a flush hand of anti-monopoly and anti- discrimination, and they will play it for all itis worth, Between conviction and expediency, there will be a solid Democratic phalanx on the new issue that has fallen into Democratic hands like an apple fully ripened and dropping from the tree, and the living issue of the present will make even the Pennsylvania Bourbons turn from their long and hopeless gaze upon the past to take a front view of political progress. Frisco Attorneys as Democratic Bosses. From the Carthage Patriot. Give us a law that will protect the people, and at the same time do justice to the railroad. Such a law can be framed,and when once adopted all trouble about freights wül then be stopped. The railroads of the State, however, are Opposed to such a law. For that reason we are opposed to Mr. Phelps controlling the Democratic party of this county. He is the attorney of this road, and the people need not expect him to aid them in getting such a law as this passed. There is nothing per- sonal in what we say; we simply give the facts. If the farmers of this county desire to grow rich, and if the business men ef Carthage want the city to prosper, they must take this matter in hand and oust the railroad attorneys from political control. The South May Take Hold. From the Norfolk Virginian. The subscriptions in Northern’ cities which propose mohuments tothe memory of Gen. Grant are not creditable in amount. This illustrates the folly, not to say stupidity, of these sectional efforts in behalf of a national undertaking. The spirit of the New York World, infused into the Bartholdi Pedestal enterprise, should have been copied, and endeavors restricted to the task of rearing a shaft or pantheon as the common tribute of the country. The outlook for this patriotic matter is not encour- aging, and as Georgia has already distinctively honored Gen. Grant, the South may yet have to invade and rearin New York with her money 4 monument worthy of the fame of Gen. Grant, whose services by his oon consent are part of his heritage. The Workingman's Party. From the Boston Herald (Ind.) A much larger proportion of the Democratic party than of the Republican, at the North, is made up of men who work with their hands, and it in- cludes in its membership many manufacturers. What sense or logic is there in the charge that a party composed largely of the working classes, and dependent upon their votes for success, will do its best to “ruin American industries? Is a po- litical party likely to gain power to see how quickly it can get itself kicked out? What Cockrell Has to Do. From the Cape Girardeau Democrat. The Post-DispaTcH seems to think that Southeast Missouri has very littie chance of capturing the Revenue office. We do not consider the Post-Dis- Patca authority in National affairs. Our Mr. Byrd isa particular friend of Senator Cockrell, and as Cockrell has to look to the country politicians for his re-election, we think Mr. Byrd haus got the in- side track on all his competitors. Emineatly Right. From the Mexico Intelligencer. The Posr Disraron of St. Louis is waging a vig- orous fight against the discrimination of freight charges the railroads are making against that city and many other parts of the State. The Post- Dispaton is a little off“ at times, but it is certainly now engaged in a warfare that is not only emi- nently rigbt, but one that commends itself to every man whose heart is in the right piace. 5 MEN OF MARK.

What the Editorsof the New York Journals are Saying To-Day. * By Telegravh to the Post-Dispatch. New Yorx, August 26. — Tue Womo says: “It is just as well, perhaps, that President Cleveland is not going out to Ohio to impart a gingery aspect to the Democratic canvass. There are people out there who micht feel disposed to inquire: ‘How about Mr. Thurman?’ The fact that Thurman has been overlooked by the Administration is not pleas- ing to nine-tenths of the Democratic voters of Ohio. And the same may be said of the whole country.” THE sun. The Sun says: So far as we can see, Cleveland does as President exactly what he promised to do when he was nominated, and exactly what his previous conduct as Governor .showed that he would do. There is not occasion for any sur- prise in this case, nor for any resentment. Demo- crats may not like his acts, but they certainly can- not accuse him of any faleeness or of any broxen pledges. If they chose to be mistaken in 1884. wo cannot see that they have sufficient reason for find- ing fault with Cleveland on that account.” THE TIMES. The Times says: The Prohibitionists of Pennay!- vania displayed a good deal of enthusiasm and hopefulness in their convention at Harrisourg, yes- terday. They extended their familiar platform with a couple of sound planks on civil service re- form and enforcement of law which forbids dis- crimination by railroads, and nominated a candidate for the office of State Treasurer, The Democrats of the same State hold their con- vent ion to-day, and it is said will take the same ground on the anti-discrimination question and nominate Conrad Day of Philadeiphia, for the only State office to be fliled this year. The Republicans are counting confidently on the wide margin which they hold in the old Keystone State, but it is about all the ground for coufidence they have It would not be surprising to see it greatly narrowed at the next election.” THE TRIBUNE. The Tribune says: “The difficulties are increasing in Ohio, moreover, and they seem likely to draw Mr. Cleveland himself into the controversy. The German Democratic Association in Cincinnati, at its meeting Saturday, formally declared the indignation of the German Dem- ocrats becatise Governor Hoadly had revently proposed to favor the nomination of an Irishman for postmaster. They affirmed thatthey elected Hoadly and gave him more votes thanany other class of Democrats and indignantiv demanded the Post Office fora German candidate. This arouses the wrath of the numerous Irish friends of two Irish candidates, one of whom Governor Hoadly is said to favor. The President wil! be com svoner or later, to appoint one or the other men, and as he cannot appoint them both, some- body is likely te be dissati Unhappily, he has been made responsible in public opin if not in fact, for Governor Hoadiy’s nomination, as it has been stated that this nomination was ht about dy the President's influence, On the wh Pres- dent Cleveland's lot is not a happy one.“ THE PEOPLE'S FORUM.

WaszinxeGTon, D. C., August 26.—First Comptroller Durham recently received a letter from a lawyer named Manning, who bad been disbarred by the Court of Alabama Claims, warn ng him that all was not right with the Court. and suggesting an investigation of accounts, The Comptroller im- mediately instituted an investigation which has discovered a system of extravagant and illegal expenditures which might have escaped detection for an indefinite length of time had Lawyer Manning not written bis warning letter, which would not have been written had he not been dis- barred by the Court. Last Friday three requisitions for 880.000 each reach th: Comptroller through the Secretary of State, from the Court of Alabama Claims. Instead of being passed unhes- itatingiy and without question, they were detained to await THE RESULT OF THE INVESTIGATION, and they are still unsigned. The Comptroller's conclusions were aummarized yesterday in the folowing statement prepared by him for publica- tion: The Court of Commissioners of Alabama Claims was created in 1874 to hear proof of claims to be paid out of the $15,500,000 awarded by the Geneva Commission, and was con- tinued by various acts until December 31, 1877. It was constituted of five judges with an annual salary of $6.000 each, a cierk at 83.00. a steno grapber at 82.500 ani an attorney to represent the United Sta'es, at a salary of $8,000. Provision was aiso made for the rentofa court room, furnitu Stationary, fuel and other necessiry incidenta expenses, all of which were to be paid out of said fund before judgments were paid. The Comp- troller found, that outside of the above named officers, there were on the pay rolls the names of the assistant counsel kor the- United States, clerks to said counsel, expert c'erks to experts, messengers, watchmen, efc., whose aggregate salaries amounted to about $34,500 per year. He also found in the quarterly returus that there has been paid to other assisting counsel $1,000 for the quarter ending December 31, 1584, and about $7, for the quarter ending March 31, 1885, besides other alleged illegal payments. He says he finds no law authorizing said payments and, after consuiting with the Acting-Secretary of the Treasury and with the Solicitor of the Treasury, he has decided to stop ail future payments of the same. The employes affected by the Comptroller's action number twenty-four.

From the Philadelphia Times. The girl who elopes has been havinga picnic lavely. During the past ten days her good times have been faithfully chronicled, and a giance at the record shows her to be justas dashing as ever. In one place she has been running away witha man twice her age, in another with the husband of another woman, and in stili another with a boy not. yet ot age. In addition to this she has filled in an unoccupied moment by marrying & colored man who seemed to be white, and in one instance mar- rying one who seemed quite black, Nothing good is ever heard of the girl that elopes. Now and then she figures in the divorce courts, either as plaintiff or defendant, but ordinarily tue world moves on and leaves her to her fate. Occasionally the police records give a fragment of her life when the hey- dey of ber youth and life has fied andthe man with whom she eloped bas taken to beating her in order to get up an appetite for breakfast.

V., August 24.—The re- port gained currency in Saratoga last week, and from thence throughout the country, that President Cleveland was seriously ill at the camp in some un- known part of the Adirondack forests, where he and his friends, Dr. Samuel B. Ward of Albany, and Mr. E R. Bacon of New York, had settled down for the President's vacation. The momentous and far-reaching consequences incident to the very serious character or the possible fatal termi- nation of such iliness, made the report of the greatestimportance. To verify its truth or falsity was of great importance. The exact locality of the camp, or indeed, of the post of departure into the forest recesses, had been carefully concealed by Dr. Ward, who was Mr. Cleveland's physician and warm personal friend during his t- years stay in Albany as Governor, and, as during his visit to the Adirondacks last year, was now his guide. Dr. Ward is a famous fisherman and shot, and has spent a part of every summer for half a score of years in tLese woods. He is, besides, a man of great culti- vation and a charming companion. Desirous of learning from Dr. Ward, and by personal observa- tion, the exact state of the President's health. your correspondent left New York for Albany on Wednesday, August 19. Never was a favorite beauty of a Sultan's seraglio guarded more carefully from intrusion than President Cleveland has been since his retirement into the fastnesses. Although it was weil known that he had thought of going to the Prospect House, there was no certainty as to how long he had continued there, if, indeed, he had made that his stopping piace. Now it was said that he had gone to Loon Lake, now to Schreon Lake, and now to PaulSmith’s. It was quite evident to any one familiar with the primitive ways of communication in the Adirondacks that something more defluite than such confusing staie- ments would be needed in order to locate the Presi- dent even approximately. The first step was obvi- ously to call at Dr. Ward's house in Albany and inguire where a letter would reach him. It was the ce boy who answered the bell. He would not give the tor's address, but would have my com- munication torwardedto him. No; it was a mat- ter of pressing import. He hesitated a moment, and, like the woman who hesitates, HE WAS LOST. He informed me that Dr. Ward was at the Prospect House, at the heat of Upper Saranac Lake. Now for the train to Plattsburg. Tue run takes us through a constant Changing panorama of hills and dales. wits here aod there a crimson roofed country house standing out against heavy verdure with all tue bold relief of a red-headed giri on a tennis court. A stop at P.attsburg, just long enough to get a bit to eat, and then onto Au Sabie where the railroad ends ant the real journey into the mountains begins. Before the train fully stopped there s a rush and ciamber for the plat- form. I soon see the cause of it. Everybod, wants A seat on top of the stage couch. Fourteeu out of the sixteen arrivals succeed in getting the desired places. The driver waiis untii the mail and bag rage have been piled on behind, and then, witha erb at the lines anda ne gu from the leaders, the six horses start on a gallop. Up nil, down into the valley. over rocks, through swampy ruts, shaking, joliing. tossing, now under low hanging branches that brush your face, now by the side of a swift ruuning brook, aud now along a path so ,narrow tuat you lean instinctively towards the opposite side of the coach. Presently we come iato the more open country. Tue driver is kept busy urging the horses He does not use awaip. He carries a pocket full of good sized pebbles. When he wants to admonish a laggard leader, he aims a stone at a particular spot on tie beast’s back. He never misses. More than that, for by a skillful use of the carow method of billiards, be contrives, upon necessity. to hit two horses with one stove. Once Isa him hit three of the steeds with a single pebvie. After that feat he looked around tor aduiiration. He got it, and a cigar 0. but he seldom spo.e during the entire ride. The fat freshman from Cambridge asked the driver to let him take the iines, and that saturnine person's only answer was a look. But ‘twas enough. At noon we had traveled twenty-five miles, and stopped for dinner at Fraukiin Pails. The dinner was very simple, that is, all of it except the des- gert. They nad seven kindsof pie. lasked the if she had made any special preparations when the President stopped there for dinner on his way through. Yes, on that day they had TEN KINDS OF PIE. It was toward 35 o'clock when we reached the mountaia top on wies is tue Pros House, where the President and Dr. Ward first stopped. Near by is Upper Saranac Lake. At the Prospect House, too, Presideut Cleveland spent some por- tion of his vacation last year, and it was iu this house that he wrote the letter accepting the nom- mation from the Democratic convention. The hotel is differentfrom the houses in the Adiron- marked simplicity. The dacisoniy in its ver the character of a club partakes more o than of a hotel.

There was one iucideat, however, that was the source of much alarm to both the President and the guests of the hotel. A few days after his arrival a stranger drove up to the house one evening without bag or bagg of any de- scription. His manner was extremely erratic and Lis appearance tnat of a man out ot his mind. He dogged the President's steps persistently for some time until Dr. Ward, becemiug uneasy, requested that the stranger be closely watched. There was no disiurbance, but the annoying gucst was or- dered to leave the neighbarh > hen the Presi- deatial party were about to leave the hotel for the can br. ard gave renewed orders to the landlord to refuse accommodations to reporters “simply tell them,“ he said, “that you haven't any room for them.” On my arrival at the Prospect House I registered as Prof. and asked for a room for the night. The cierk, after looking at me critically, informed me that there were no rooms vacaut. Very well; a cot would do. And I left tue ottice. Isaw the iandlord, Mr. Riddle, in earnest conversation with the driver of the wagon on which I had come to the hotel. I heard the driver say that he didn't know nothing, ‘cept be carried a big bundle of cotton battin' and says he's arter flowers and sich.“ For all that l discovered that 1 was an object of suspicion. Still, it would bardly do to say that there was not a cot in the house, aud I was sure of sheiter for tue night at least. What 1 did had Ww be done quickly, however. Lsauutered through the parlor, out on the piazza, an! soon fell into conversation with a New York lawyer who had spent some weeks at the house. He mentioned the President’s sojourn there. I expressed surprise. Was be still there? I said that I should very much like to catch a glimpse of him. No, be Bad gone into camp. Some more conversation. The lawyer nad come to hunt. And 1? Oh! it was possible 1 might fiod some speci- mens of rure ferns supposed to be in the Adiron- dacks, Then a pause; then some talk on everything or nothing, aud then: “WHERE HAS THE PRESIDENT GONE?” “Why, he’s gove over to Willis’ Pond.” morning I told the guide that to go to Fine Pond, and to get ready as e000 as possible. He asked me if I intended to fish or hunt. I might possibly cast a fly. Hestarved to prepare an outfit, but soon re- turned and told me they would give him no supplies atthe hotel. Why not? use they say you want to go tothe President's camp. Stid he couid get some bread, coffee and hard-boiled eggs. That would do. ut how avout biankeis? The landiord absolutely refused to give us any assistance at all. Not a thing.“ he said to my guide, “shail lea ve my house for any such purpose as that man is on. That man is trying to get to the President's camp.“ I saw that the only safety was to get away at once. Mr. Riddle eudeavored to induce the guide not to accompany me, but tne latter insisted. Saranac Lake was rough and stormy when we started at an early hour. We reacued the bead of the lake in safety, though the frail little skiff was half filled with water. From this point we rowed up Spring Pond, with its sur- face covered with iily- a good feeding ground for deer. Atthe end of Spriog Pond we reached the first “carry.” A carry“ in the Adirondacks means the distance that must be traversed between two ponds when it is necessary to carry the canoe overland. The guide, at such points, places the boat over his bead and rests it on nis shoulders by means of a yowe. That ws his “carry.” Tne travelers’ carry“ consists of a dag utensils and the rest. It was about 6 o’ciock when the guide told me that we had gone about as far as we could by boat. He carried the skill upon the shore and buiitatire. Up to this time my guide had been very reticent. He bad given rather curt answers to my questions and refused botu the cigars ard bottle. Once or twice I mentioned the President's camp, but he said he did not Know where it was. When we had sat down before the evening fire after our frugal supper was over he accepted a cigar. A little r be said HE WOULD TAKE A “LITTLE.” Now I must make the venture and abide by the consequences. 1 told him iI was on my way to the President's camp and he had to take me there. My frankuess pleased him and he, in time, confessed that he nad been specially warned not to condact me to Willis’ Pond. He asked me if I was a friend of Mr. Cleveland. I represented a gentleman who certainly had proved himseif Mr, Cleveiand's very earnest supporter and friend. Ashort distance from our fire the guide found a bougu shanty.“ Here we were to pass the night. As we sat in front of a log fire we heard every now and then a low rumbiing noise. At first tried to convince myself that it was the roaring of the burning logs, for to be caughi in a storm iu the mountain forests is no tiflmg matter. But we were not alluwed to deceive ourselves very long. Presently thers was lurid lightning and the thunder became more prono The wind now biew in a perfect whirlwind tbrough the immense pines and hem- locks. We were still hopeful that the storm wou:d ass over us, but every moment tke thunder — louder and the lighining more vivid. At tumes the whole forest seemed mumtnated. Once, by the momentary gieam of the electric bolt, we caught sight of a deer rusumg afrigated through the forest to the lace near by. At last there came a terrible crash, and then the rain came down in a torrent. But there was no lesseniug of the thuader and lightning. Peal foliowed peal in such fierce succession that their echoes jomed in a continuous uproar. At 5 o'ciock, although the s ora had not yet fully died away, we began what the guide assured me would prove the most di- cult part of the journey. It seemed incredibie that the President of the United States had but a week before taken his way through this same dismal, unbeaten wilderness. We had been in the woods about four hours waen through the trees was ht a gimpse of a chest ef water. It was Willis’ Pond. in a few momenis we reached ic. At its saore the alleged trail ends.

They are seated near the fire on which is sizzling the broiler with the morniug meal. The rresident is sitting ona tree stump facing me and is the first to observe me. At a little distance is Dr. Ward, gun in hand; at bis side is Mr. Bacon. All turee look at me and my guide with undisguised astonishment. They seem douot- fulfora moment what manner of reception to me. Without waiting for their decisien, however, 1 approach the nt, and removing my say: Tue Post-DispaTon presents its most respectful com- uments and inquires after the President's heath.“ e President was naturally, for the moment, overcome with surprise. Then he rose from his seat, and. extending his hand, said, with a : “Well, well, welll Iam very glad to see the Post- DisPaTOH, sir, and assure you tue very best. Ithen informed the President that ruwors of nis serious illness had became prevalent and that 1 had been dispaiched to ascertain the truth or faisity of those statements. He looked with another smile at Dr. Ward and then down at himself, and again asseried that he was in 1 health and nad never felt better in his life. After some more conversation of a al character’ the asked me if I would join them at breakfast, an told the cook to “piace one more plate The meal consisted of brviled venison, baked potatoes avd tea with milk. It was served on a rougs board supported on stakes. Large logs were used as chairs. Everytning was PRIMITIVE IN THE EXTREME. There was not the sligh est thougat of form or formality. While we sat at the table I bad an ex- cellent opportunity to observe the President's ap- pearance.

Almost a Free Fight Between the Pittsburg and St. Louis Clubs, — — — — How President McKnight Had to In- terfere to Prevent a Row—Why Cin- cinnati Wants a League Club—Are “Selling Races” Desirable? — The Buffalos’ Defeat—Sporting Sundries —Diamond Dust—Gossip. The initial game at the League Park yesterday afternoon between the Black Diamonds and the Buffalo Club was celebrated by the home team by a signal defeat of their opponents. Although the weather had been threatening almost up to the hour of calling the game, between two and three thousand admirers of the League team were on hand to give them a royal welcome. Then, too, there was considerable curiosity as to how Kirby, Lucas’ new pitcher, would acquit himself. This he did nobly, and but for that fatal seventh ‘inning, in which six of the eleven hits made off him were scored, his triumph would have been a glorious one. As it was, however, St. Louis secured almost double the number of bases off Conway that were made off Kirby. The batting qualities of the home club loomed up splendidly yesterday, every man in the nine getting one or more hits, and with the exception of Lewis, every man tailied a run. In fact it was only in the third inning that St. Louis failed to cross the plate. Buffalo was first at the bat, anda base on balls sent Richardson to first. He- stole second cleverly, and on Brouther’s put-out reached third. A passed ball sent him homo. and White's fly to Classcock retired the side. St. Louis opened her haf similar to the Buffa os, Dun- lap being given his base on balls; Glasscocx’s hit to left advanced him to third, and McKinnon's corker to left sent Dunlap and Glasscock home. After Buffaio had been presented with a goose egg in the second, Briody and Caskins reached bases on bite, were advance by Duulap's out at first. and both scored on Giasscock’s bit to left. In the third both sides drew bianks. In the fourth Buffalo scored two runs aud St. Louls one, aud in the fifth and sixth St. Louis added tuo more, that in the latter being a h ome run by Seery, and Buffalo one. In the seventh the fun began tu earnest. The score stood seven to four in the home club's favor when the Buffalos went to the bat Richardson hit safe to left, Brouthers followed with a double which, with asieal of second and Kirby's error, sent Buffalo's second baseman home. Kowe ait to center, ad- vanced Brouthers, but Rowe died trying to make two bases. Au error by Briody sent Broutoers bome, and White to first. Crowley next hit to the fence, anu on Meyer's hit he came home. The latter ended the inning for Buffalo by attempting to score on Liily’s bit. Ihe score was now tied, and a wid yell went the crowd. Things now looked blue for ; J puis. Quinn reached first on balls. n Lilly's muff of Briody's fly he went to second aud bota were advanced a bse on Caskins’ put out. Kiroy was given a lite at first by White's error and Quinu came home. Dunlap's single sent Briody home and Kirby to second.

Butfalos . up from To-Morrow’'s Game. The St. Louis and Buffalo Clubs play the four- teenth game of their championship series at the Union Grounds, commencing at 4 o’ciock to-mor- row afvernoon. The nines will be placed ina this Detroit Chicagoed. Rain prevented every championship game scheduled yesterday from being played except in St. Louis and Chicago. At the latter place the Detroite were used ratuer rouguly, Cuicago winning the game by a core of 8 to U. The St. Louis Pittsburg Fight. Of course every ball crankin town knows the bitter feeling which exists between the Browns and the Allegheuys, but few are aware that it had gone so far that President McKuight had to go on the grounds in the recent Pittsburg series and publicly iustruct Umpire Tunison in the presence of Cap- tains Comiskey and Brown tofine any player who acted in arowdyish manner. Sporting Life's Pitts- burg correspondent speaks of the matter as fol- lows: When, ob when! will we have somebody who can coach base-ruaners like Comiskey or Stovey, or Koseman’ Ever since we have nad a club bere, lack of good coachiug bas lost many a game. ‘The St. Louis team seems to always Lave a supera- bundance of good coachers, while tue Piusburg ers seem to tniuk tuat Keeping quiet on their a is he proper way to play the great game. There seems to be a great deal of ill feeling be- tween the players of the St. Louis and Ailegneny teams, ail of which is disgusting to the people wno attend the games. However, the series between the two clubs is now ended iu favor of St. Louis, and probably the boys will now attend to playiag bail, instead ol iasuiug challenges for prize-ficbts, When we Pittsburg team was last m St. Louis, Manager Philips got into a quarrel with Pre-ident Von der Abe, and it seems that the players on both sides must have espo the Causes of their re- spect.ve bosses.

A question as to whether or not the so-called “selling races” at turf meetings are desirable brings out @ strong protest from the Sporting World.

That Cineinnati League Clab. Speaking of the possibility of Cincinnati being represented in the League next year a correspend- ent gives the following: If there is a League team in Cincinnati next season, which is now quite unlikely, Thorner et al will not control it. By the way, one of the reasons why the old Union crowd is so anxious to have a club in some organization is that that is the only way in which they can get rid of a big white ele- phant. When Thorner et al made their great coupe to freeze Caylor's team out of the American A880 ciation by taking their ground away from them they had to eater into a one-sided bargain to getit. Therailway company which controlled the old ground would only lease it on one condition, viz.: that in case championship games should be layed therein the rent should be $2,000 per annum; t no championship games were played $5,000 should be paid in order to make up to the compeny the loss of extra travel to the grounds. Thorner et al were so cock-sure of getting into the American Associa~ tion if they couid dispossess the American Ciuo of their ground—none other being available they thought—that they were prepared to goto any length to secure the lease. be company, however, would not give them a lease, but insisted on havmg 4 responsible individual for jessee, and would accept none other than Air. MeLean, proprietor of tie Cincinaati Enquirer. This was tue raiiroad com- ny's ultimaium, and so, after much persvasion, Mr. McLean was finally induced to become the lessee. Well, the plot to oust the Cay.or Club was an igao- minious failure. [The American Association ro- fused to even consider the application of Mesars Thorner K Co. The Caylor club secured new grounds after great trouble and expense, and de- spite che obstacies thrown into their way by the vornerites, and poor McLean was left in the coid with an expensive ground upon his hands. When the Ubiou Assuciat:on project was broached, Me- Lean thouznt be saw a Chauce to utilize his ground, and chuz the Cincinnati Union Club had its incep- tion. Every base bail reader koows tne disastrous result of that experiment, Waica cost McLean still more good money.

Now, do you wonder atthe Enquirer's day owls for @ Clocinnati League Ciuor Arrangements for Exhibition Games. Now that the differences between the League and American Association have been amicably settied, there will be an interchange of games between the clubs of the two organizations that will be far more interesting than many ofthe championsoip games that were played during the season. There is a general desire among patrons of the national game to see the strong clubs of the League meet the leading nines of the Association. and active prepa- rations are being made to arrange games between the best clubs, so that the most interesting exhibi- tions may be given. There is not a base ball enthusiast in the country that would not take great delight in seeing the St: Louis Browns measure their strength with those clubs in the League that will hoid prominent paces in the cha:pion- ship race. A series of games between the Browns aud Chicago Club would be specially ioteresting. and it is understood that after the adjournment of the conference meeting last Monday Messrs. Von der Abe and Spaulding taiked the matter over and decided upon dates fora series of games. Presi- dent Day. of the New York Club, it s said, is aiso desirous of having his team play the Browns and Mr. Von der Ahe has decided to accommodate hiin. The Browns are in great demand for exhibition games, and since the season opened they have re- ceived over 300 letters containing liberal proposi- tions to play, but, of course, oniy a few of them could be accepted. The president of our coming champions, with wise foresight, anticipated the result of the conference committee meeting at Saratoga. and left open the dest dates in October in order to give them to the League. There is no doubt but what a series of games will be arranged between the Browns and the St. Louis League Club if the latter hands in its proposition before all the dates are se- cured by other clubs of the same organization. Recen ly Latham of the Browns: made a proposi- tion to some of the members of the Lucas Club, that each club put up a thousand doliars, the winning club to receive the purse a d the gate receipts be divided equaily among the players of the two clubs. This game was intended to be played after the sea- son was over, when the two clubs nad disbanded for the year. This scheme is now impracticabie, as the Browns have a number of exhibition es On their bands, and it will be very late in the fall before the last one takes Ete Their final exhibition games will probably played South with the leading ciubs in the Southern League, negotiations for which are now pending. After these are over the weather ip St. Louis will not be congenial for ball iaying, which will prevent the acceptance of atham's proposition. . How They Stand. There has been no material chauge in the stand - ing of the various clubs in the League and Associa- tion races since last Saturday.

Kirby, Quinn and Seery, the three youngsters of the club inguished themselves yesterday. Six base hits with a total of ten bases and four runs isn’t bad. Quinn is a great admirer of Dunlap, and he keeps his eyes peeled for pointers constantly. Did you ever notice the striking resemblance of their ac- tions at the bat? A brother of Bill Crowley of the Buffalo Club, pitches for the Woodstown (N. J.)

Ou Sunday morning he wentto visitadistant bear trap to which only weekly visits were paid, and, although he did not return when expected, no anxiety was felt by his friends. Late Monday afternoon a farmer happened to pass near the trapin question and thought to examine it. Listening in vain for any indication of the presence of a bear, he opened the trap and there in a fainting condition, he found young Liunell, It appears he had gone inside ef the trap, a big box lid affair for catching animais alive, and while arranging the bait, accidentally touched the spring that closed the door and he tound himself imprisoned. For thirty-six hours he remained in his prison with no water and but little air, and his only food was theraw meat with which the trap was baited and which hunger finally com- pelled him to eat. A VILLAIN FOILED. Officer Gannon Makes a Timely Arrest This Morning. Officer Gannon this morning arrested a man named D. Shaw, under circumstances which fully warranted his prisoner's being jailed on a warrant charging him with assault with criminal intent. At about 7 o’ciock this morning a hand-cart man named White, saw Shaw half-persuading, half forcing a young girl to enter Jonn Davis' saloon on the corner of Eleventh and Lecust streets. Fear- ing that all was not right, he notified Officer Gan- non, who entered the saloon and went to the second story, where he found Shaw ill-treating the girl, who was struggling to eacape from him, The girl, who said that she was 15 years of age, that her home was at 821 North Market street, and her name, ma Taylor, accused the prisoner of having deluded her into the piace by false representations.

THE ORDINANCE NOT VALID. An Important Decision Rendered by Pro- visional Judge Fauntleroy. Acting Judge Fauntleroy in the Court of Crimi. nal Correction has rendered a decision in the case of the State of Missouri vs. Henry Ahearn, William Burns and Thomas Gannon, tried in his court ona charge of petit larceny. They had been accused of the larceny of a sack of flour of the value of 32, such an offense being petit larceny under the general State law. When the case came up in the Court of Criminal Correction it developed that the defendents had been tried and acquitted on the charge of stealing this same sack of flour ina prosecution in 0 ond District Police Court under the new city ordinance commonly called the pilfering act.“ which makes the stealing of any article of the value of less than twenty dollars cognizable and punishable in the police courts of this city. The attorneys for the defendants claimed that as the defendants had been once acquitted in a trial in which they were charged with this same offense they could not again be placed on trial charged with the offense. The fact of the trial and acquittal in the Police Court was not formally pleadedin the Court of Criminal Correction, but Prosecuting Attorney ‘laivorne that if the matter could be leaded in bar of the pending prosecution then the defendanta vere enfitie to an acquittal in the Court of Criminal Correction. Judge — holds hat petit larceny is an offense purely aud solely against the State. He decides that rtion of tne city ordinance material to be — — in this case is invalid: that under the State Constitution the Municipal Assembly had not the power to pass any such ordinance as the one mentioned, and that, therefore, the piea in bar must necessarily fail. In pursuance of such de- cision, Judge Fauntleroy acvordingly found the de- fendants guilty of petit larceny, and assessed the — of each at two months in the city CANNED MEATS.

A Fight Grows Out of the School Board Dead-Lock. i. — The Woes of a Man Who Married a Woman With a Grown Daughter—A Brutal Dog-Catcher Assaults a Boy— News and Notes. The School Board holds its regular monthly meet- ing to-night. and the teachers are expecting an agreement between the opposing factions in the Board, and that the appointments for the coming year will be made. Several members of the Board were seen this morning and were asked whether it was probable that the appointments would be made to-night, but no definite answer was elicited. From their remarks, however, the inference is that there is a very poor prospect for an amicable settlement of the difficulties which have caused a deadiock in the Board for the last two months. It is now evident. that the church faction will never agree to Mr. Frank Rafter being appointed Superinteadent, but it is just barely probable that they may be willing to appoint him principal of the High School. in case they do conciude to confer this appointment 2 him, most likely Messrs. Bunyan, Burke and ea will agree te appointing the teachers at once, and lay over the troublesome question of the | superintendency until sucha time asa man who Will be satisfactory to both parties is brought for- ward. IT CAUSED A FIGHT. The antagonism between the opposing factions in the School Board has become extremely bitter of late, and a dispute last nignt, which tnreatened at one time to end inafight between Mr. Walsh, a member of the Board, and Mr. Rafter, whose candidacy for Superintendent of Schools is the cause of all the troubie in the Beard, was but the Yesterday afternoon, su, who has bitterly heard that the latter had been making remarks reflecting on his character, and determined to have an explanation from Mr; Rafter when he met him. Hearing that the latter gentleman was m a saloon not far from the City Hail last nigat, Mr. Walsh proceeded thither. He found Mr. Ral ter seated ata table with several friends, and without more ado accosted him and asked wuethber he had made the remarks which were credited to him. Mr. Rafter denied — pa, | that be had ever said anything derogatory to Mr. Walsh. but the latter lost his temper so far in the discussion as to the lie and raised a chair to strike Mr. Rafter. The latter gentleman made ready to defend himself, but before Mr. Walsh could swing the chair above his head mutual friends rushed in between the two anu led Mr. Walsh away. No further attempt was made to renew hostilities, but both gentlemen have since been in an excited frame of mind, and if Mr. Rafter is defeated for School Superintenden: to-nigut, it is not at ali improbavie that more trouble will follow. Neither Walsu nor Rafter could be seen this morning, and consequent- ly their stories of the difficulty could not be learned, but the above facts were obtained from an eye witness and are reliable. Mr. Walsn was the ag- gressor, aud it was not till he called Mr. Rafter a liar that the latter lost his temper.

For three months they lived happily together, but of late Anton has u to discover that the change which he made in his condition is so decidedly for the worse that he is anxious for a separation. Whea he wed Mrs. De Forest be agreed also to be a father to her two children, one of whom is a rather comely young girl of 15 summers. Anton says he would pever have regretted espousing the widow were it not for the children which he agreed to watch over as a father. He says the eldest runs out at night and does not come in until the moon has long passed the meridian. He has remonstrated witu ner in vais, aud when- ever he attempts te chastise her his wife upbraids him, charges uim with being cruel, says he nas no right to correct her childrea, and hence makes his lot an unhappy one. For these reasons he is anxious to procure a divorce, and petitioned Justice Draggon this morningto make him outa com- laint, that he might file it in the City Court and be oosened from the vexationg and troubles with which he is now beset. 4 BRUTAL OUTRAGE. A shameful outrage was perpetrated this morn- ing by several dog catchers, who were making a tour of the First Ward to capture unlicensed canines. While passing the residence of Mra. War- ren they espied a little son of hers playing with a dog in the front yard, and one of them jumped down to take possession of it. The little feilow, who is only 9 years of age, clung franticaily to his pet and refused to let the dog catcher take it away. Becoming incensed at resistance, the brutal fellow caugot hold of the young boy by the throat and choked him until Taking the dog in his arms the man then jumped upon tae wagon and started to drive off. The little boy, who was greatiy grieved at losing his followed after tae wagon, crying lustily after the hard hearted catchers of canines, that be would tell his papa and have them arrested. When the wagon had proceeded about a square, the do catchers became so annoyed at the child's demon- stration that two of them jum dowu from the wagon and beat him brutaily. The little feilow has a swelling on his neck, and when he came back to the bouse his mother bieeding. profusely, he havin pressed by his assailants. Mrs. Warren was up at tne jail this morning, and is determined to have ber son identify me man who so shamefully iil used him. NOTES.

Semple Ames, presented a motion for a commission to take the depositions of John P. Keiser and Ben W. Lewis, who are both absent frem the city on vacation.

A painting for the art exhibit at the Exposition which promises to create deep interest is one from the brush of Mr. Staits, which is nearly completed, only afew finishing touches remaining to be put on. It is entitled “A Modern Sphinx,” and the fan- ciful conception of the artist is admirably devel- oped and executed. The canvas is about eighteen by thirty-two in dimensions. The modern sphinx and the principal figure ~ the picture is — face is of an Oriental type, deli oval In outline, with dark, liquid eyes, finely arched eyebrows and exquisitely curved lips, with just fullness enouga to suggest a passionate nature. and yet falling short of anything like sensuality. The while it is not voluptuous, is round and fuilin outline. The lady is standing on a balcony or porch and is leaning slightly against the heavy stone railing, and from the twisted position of the skirt and full train of the dress gives one im pression that she had turned denly from a 2 file attitude to look — at you. One band is resting on the railing and the other holds a parasol of Japanese design resting on the shoulder. The back ground is a plain sione wall, reiieved on one side by an indistinct vista of garden ending in a suggestion of blue sky, aud a tropical plant breaks the severe line of tne wall. The develop- ment of the conception is shown in the combinatioa of the ancient e and modern in the costume and ornaments of thefigure and inthe surround- The dress is a delicate shade of blue, made after the latest Parisian mode, while the ornaments and trimmings from the waist up are mostiy Egy p- tian} with only a touch ot the modern. The head-dress is purely — — being a faichtful copy of tuat of the Sphinx. The art of the painter is shown in the drawing, the pose of the figure being full of undu- lating grace, the masteriy banding of light and shade so as to bring out in the clearest and boldest relief the central figure, The eye rests at once and naturally on the most prominent object in the picture and all else is carefuiiy subjected to briug- ing this out. It is shown also in the use of colors. Mr. Staite is a master in this regard. Tue coloring is brilliant and almost indescribab.e. but it is har- monious and is luminous andfulofife. Tue picture is peculiarly striking in this regard and will attract attention oa account of it. CAUSED A PANIC. A Broken Steam Pipe in a Stocking Factory Creates Genuine Constermuation. The building occupied by the Standard Hosiery Company on the northeast corner of Sixth street and Franklis avenue is one on which the Fire Department has leveled an eye of inspection and is considered a regular fire-trap which will some day furnish a horrible sensation. This morning an alarm of fire was sounded from box 29, caused by the bursting of a safety valve on a small stationary boiler situated on the third floor of the building. There are over one hundred small girls employed on that floor, running knitting machines, and, of course, the roar of the escaping steam and the blinding cloud of vapor which filied the room caused a panic. There are no fire escapes, and the only means of exit is a small narrow stair- way not over 80 inches wide. Two giris fainted, and one small boy attempted to jump from a third-story window, was pre- vented. This is the second time tnat an bas been given from box 29 caused Ly a sc’ rein this same factory, to say nothing of a numberof still alarms from various causes.
