Charging 40 Cents Where the Maximum Rate is 29 Cents. Mr. Nettleton Denies Some Statements Made About Him. * “No Obstruction to St. Louis Busi- ness,“ Except by Illegal Rates—Both Roads Liable to Prosecution — Whose Duty is it to Bring Suit? Spectal Correspondence of the Post-Dispatch. Kansas City, August 27.—The Postr-Dispatca special commissioner on his arrival called on George H. Nettleton, general manager of the Kan- gas Cy. Fort Scott and Gulf System, to ask what aoswer he had to make to the allegations of St. Louis merchants,as contained In the Post-Dis- PATCH. Mr. Nettleton said that he had not read the articles on discrimination, but he had heard about them. “Two St. Louis merchants, one of them the leader in his line, have stated that you said to them that this was a Kansas City road and a Memphis road, and you did not want St. Louis freight,“ said the b “That is false,” said Mr. Nettleton. I never said anything of thekind. Rates to all points on our line are made in common with the ‘Frisco and the Western Association Roads, and the Fort Scott Road gets its percentage allowed by the Western Railroad Association or by the Frisco. We do not ask where the freight comes from.” “Here is a statement printed in last evening's Posr-Disraron.“ said the reporter, handing Mr. Nettleton a copy of the telegram from Springfield printed Wednesday evening It stated that goods shipped from St. Louis to Nichols had paid 201% cents and to Mansfield 48 cents per hundred, man- ing 27% cents for the fifty miles. “I do not know anything about these rates, “said Mr. Nettleton, “but as to the statement that we have said we COULD NOT REDUCE RATES because the Frisco would advance theirs in propor- tion, that is not so.” “A good, reliable St. Louis merchant gays that the ‘Frisco people told him they could not reduce rates because you would put onan arbitrary that would make the rate what it was before the ‘Frisco reduction.” “How dowe know what the ‘Frisco is getting? Mr. Sargent and Mr. Cale meet and agree upon percentages. Then they agree to certain rates, and after that whatever the ‘Frisco charges we always get the same.” * “Then if the Frisco wanted to give back five cents to the shipper it could do so, and the burden of the discrimination is on that road?” “I dont cnow anything about that. I know, how- ever, that we make no distinction between freight from St. Louis and freight from any other point; we are not setting up a kingdom here of our own.” “Do you consider a fifty-cent difference fair when the difference in mileage is only 46 miles?" “J cannot speak as to figures. You will have to see Mr. Sargent about those,” said Mr. Nettleton. The reporter sought the floor below and the office of the General Freight Agent. MR. SARGENT was in, and, on the announcement of bis visitor's business, acknowledged that he had seen the article im the Post-Disparos. He further alleged that that paper had bit the railroads some pretty hard raps. Asto his own road, however, he was certain the Post-Dispaton would find tbere was no “nigger in the wood- pile. “What have you to say to these statements in the Post-Dispatou of last evening?” “This remark in italics—indicating the words any reduction that it may make ewill be offset by an increased charge by the ‘Frisco)—‘is entirely un- true. It is also untrue that the ‘Frisco does not reduce its rates because we would advance ours. Wo one bas any authority or reason for making any such statement." “How about the rates to Mansfield?" “They are correct, The rate on wagons from St. Louis to Mansfield is 48 cents. The rate from Kansas City is 28 on, and from Memphis 81 cents, These are on y ORNAMENTAL RATES, however, as no wagons are shipped over our road from Kansas City or Memphis.” 1 “The difference in the mileace is only forty-six miles, and yet one rate is 28, and the other 48 cents. Do you get less on the haul from Nichols to local points south of Springfield on Kansas City business than you do on St. Louis business?” “What do you mean!“ “Do you get more on the freight you receive from the Frisco at Nichols destined for Mansfield than you do on that portion of the Kansas City-Mansfield hau! between Nichols and Mansfieid?" “Why, of course, we do not make mileage rates on the business we receive from the Frisco. There ie not a road in dhe country would do that. Here little haulfrom Nichols to Mansfield, We would be foolish to give mileage rates on that haul.” “I understaad the establishment of MILEAGE RATES fs tobe recommended to Congress, and that the Massachusetts Commissioners have already reo- ‘ommended it to the Legislature of that State.” “That is all very well for Massachusetts, but will pot do out West.” | 7, Frisco and pound of her wheat to the sea-board for export if it was not for the low rates the railroads make for her." “Returning tothe original subject, do you con- sider that the low rates you are making Kansas City are not a discrimination against St. Louis?" “Certainly they are not. This talk of discrimina- tion at townson our road is all unfounded. In the first place, the only local territory we have is between Nichols and Hoxie, andI think we are entitled to make something out of it. Im the second place, when MR. EMERSON of the Missouri Pacific spoke to me about this some six months ago, I had our agents at West Plains And Mammoth Springs, the principal towns on that part of the line, figure up the tonnage for the six months previous, and it showed that over half the freight had come from St. Louis. I sent those fig- uresto Mr. Emerson. I would be willing to have the tonnage of the first six months of this year figured up, and if the figures do not show that St. Louis has shipped two-thirds of the business then I will subscribe for the Post-Dispatca. I think it will show that three-fourths of the business has come from St. Louis.” “Dou you get | MORE THAN LOCAL RATES on the business you receive from the ‘Frisco? “Let me see what our proportions are. On business to Seymour Class A the rate is @ cents. If shipped via Hoxie and the Iron Mountain we get 20 cents and the Iron Mountain 20 cents. If shipped by Nichols we or 15 CENTS AND THE ‘FRISCO 25 Orr. What is your local rate Nichols tj Seymourr“ “Well on some goods in class A, THE LAW FIXES THE RATE AT 8% CENTS.” “What rate does the law fix on those goods from Springfieid to Nichols!“ “Let me see. Eight times five fs 40, eight times seven —— 20 1-2 CENTS IS THE RATE THE LAW ALLO 7 “T the through rate according to law would be 23 cents. Do you not think vou are LIABLE UNDER THE LAW when you make arate of 15 cents where the law prescribes 8 1-2 cents as the rate?” “We do not make any such rate.” “But you receive 15 cents for hauling goods from Nichois to Seymour, when thelaw says you shall not receive more than 8 1-2 cents.” “Thatisa matter between the Frisco and our- selves.” Still allowing that no one outside of ourselves and the Frisco know what proportion each of y ou receives, is not the through rate of @ cents in excess of the through rate prescribed by law?” “We do not make any such through rate. “But you just told me that your rate, St. Louis to Seymour, was 40 cents.” “That rate means for through shipment in the same car from St. Louis to Seymour. If any one wanted to ship to Nichols and put the freight through on our locai rate, he WOULD HAVE TO TRANSFER itat Nichols. We would not receive the Frisco car but it would have to be unloaded and the freight loaded into our car on our track. We would not receive freight from the Frisco road at Nichols at local rates. “What goods included under class A comes un- der the statute classification?” “Wagons for one thing.” “And you do not think yourself liable under the laws of Missouri?’ was the parting shot fired at Mr. Sargent. That remains to be proven,” said that gentle- man, smilingly. THE LAW. For the benefit of Mr. Sargent and the merchants of Seymour, the following sectionsof the Revised Statutes of 1879 are quoted: Szortow 819—Any railroad corporation or asso- elat ion organized for the purpose shall have the right to construct and operate a railroad between any points within this State, and to connect at the State line with railroads of other States, asd shall have the right with its road to intersect, connect with or cross any other railroad, and sr receive and transport each 5 tonnaoe and cars. er empty, thout delay er dis- crimination. Szorion 883—(Provides for classification. Class I shali comprise agricul implements, furniture and wagons.) Sroriox 8 vides for certain charges on specia! classes, includ Class I.) SscTion 835—In no stance shall any such individual, company or corporation, lessee or other person, charge or receive any greater rate of compensation carrying bt or than hereinbefo provided, and tion violating isions of this article shall er or service rendered, violation is attempted; and eve agent of any such corporation lessee or other individual operat- ing any railroad within the State who shall refuse to receive for transportation over the road for which he is agent, inthe usual way. any of the articles hereinbefore mentioned on account of the compensation hereinbefore prescribed being too low, or, receiving any such articies of freight. shall charge or attempt to char. e for the transportation of the same any greater sum than herein fixed, or in any manner violate or evade the provisions this article, shall be deemed shail have a right of action against said agent 2 against the railroad company or other persons op- erating the railroad, or both, in which case he shail be entitled to recover three times the amount taken or received from him in excess of the rate pre- scribed by this article, According to section 819, Mr, Sargent is not kt all likely to refuse the cars of the ‘Frisco or any other road. Under section 835 the ‘Frisco and Gulf Roads are or have been guilty of a misdemeanor, and that tact is easy of proof. It is even admitted by Mr, Sargent. This being the case, it is once more per- tinent to cry, “Where are the Railroad Commis- sioners?” Ifa railroad company or an individual is guilty ofa misdemeanor, whose duty is it to file an information against the offender? It is not at all necessary that a citizen of the State should file complaint. It is the duty of the Prose cuting Attorney having jurisdiction in that portion of the State in which the offense is committed to bring an action against the offender, and in this case it is the duty of the Railroad Commissioners more than of a eitizen, to supply the State's officer with information on which a complaint may be based. The Post-Dispatom here furnishes the Commissioners a clear case of over-charge on the part of two railroads on freight originating in Mis- souri and destined to a point within the State. It is the duty of the Commissioners, in seeing that the railroad laws of the State are enforced, to collect such proof as will convict the Guif Road and the Frisco of a misdemeanor in this case at least. The interview with Mr. Sargent is not mere hearsay. It is reliable information at first band from a most reliable source. If the Commissioners will look fur- ther into the Gulf Road tarif they may find other food for discussion. | * — — THE CAR LOAD RATE. Why Kansas City Wants It Retained—Not Anxious to Discuss Discrimination. Special Correspondence of the Post-Dispatch. Kansas Crry, August 27.—The meeting held to- day to discuss the dua! classification was not very grocery. hardware, agricultural implements, seed and half a dozen other interests.

He made a stirri appeal for 8 id. Sedaits and ville. few P led 2 ple make load and car go Here the rate was tbe same to every lished the whole- sale merchants would get arebate and this would be a discrimination. As to the statement in the circular from St. Louis that the carload rate bene- ted the jobber and not the consumer, it was not true. Competition was so close that the difference was given to the retail dealer and by him to the consumer. As far as any discrimination within the State was concerned, Mr. Nave said the Missouri Pacific dis- criminated in favor of St. Louis and against City, but Kansas City was willing to FIGHT HER OWN BATTLES. In event that this chauge in classification was made Wichita, Emporia, Atchison and other towns would still retain the carload rate and it would place mer- chandise in the hands of these towns to undersell the Fe towns of Missouri. T. F. Willis,a hardware merchant, indulged in much merriwient over St. Louis and her woes. He said St. Louis and Chicago merchants would make nothing by ,the abolishment oad and the rail would reward. Kansas (ity, d, not go over 100 miles into Missouri. Mr. Willis did not aiude to the fact that St. Louis merchants found it utterly impossible to seil goods 100 miles or even twenty-five miles east of that city in Illinois. Mr. Wiliis said he had had his traveling men inquire of country merchants and they had declared the movement UTTERLY ABSURD. They did not intend to goto St. Louis, they said; they were tributary to Kansas City. At this * r. Willis ind in a fit of maniacal uter which seemed to shake all the ideas out bis head, for thereafter he was utterly ignorant on the subject of classificatio aud tbe constant promptings of Secretary Miller of the Board of % availed nothing in arousing his dormant faculties. Commissioner Pratt asked one of the gentlemen present if it would not be possible to reduce all rates to the present carioad rates, and thus make a Saving to the consumer. A unanimous negative was the response. Comm ssiouer Harding inquired whether Kansas City had to complain of any a DISCRIMIN ATIONS such as St. Louis suffered from. Secretary Miller responded that the Missouri Pacific and ‘Frisco discriminated in favor of St. Louis in He did not explain, however, that any discrimination these roads might make was solely in their own interest, that they might get the long haul on the goods. There were instances, he said, of St. Louis putting down goods in Mar- shall as cheap as Kansas City; also at Pleasant Hill, 0 miles below this city. The idea that Kansas City was being discriminated against, however, appeared to be a new one to the merchants present and they seemed to think that the subject had better be left alone. They could “fight their owa battles,“ they said. Representatives of the dry goods and hay mucumery interests appeared and asked for changes in classification. By the time they had explained their wants and the Commissioners had toid them what their wers were under the law the meeting had thinned out to five individuals, and it was decided best to adjourn. FOR THE BETTER. The Changes a St. Louisan Finds ia Ireland After Twenty-two Years. Special Correspondence of the Post-Dispatch. Dus. InxLAx p. August 10, 1885.—It occurred to me while visiting my native land that your readers would be interesied in getting a few items from one who has lived twenty-two years in America and who returns to Visit the scenes of his boyhood. I find a change for the better in many re sp-cts. Tse people are more independ eut of the landlords than they were when Ileft for America in 1863. The land bill, which in its provisious secures the tenant in es- sion for fifteen years, was tue first reform under the Giadstone Administration to give courage to the Irisu farmer. Before that measure was any improvements made by the farmer on his farm was sure to be taxed by the landiord in the advance ofthe rent. Now the rent is fixed, i. e., where the commissioners have passed upoo the case, and whatever improvements the tenant may see fit to make he gets a rebate from the landlord. The Land League movement has united the 600,000 tenant farmers of Ireland into one solid body, reaay and willing to obey tue instructions of the great leader, Parnell. Tune new bill, the Land Purchase Bill, enables the farmer to buy his farm. the basis of purchase to deter- mined by the Government Commission. Of that commission the landlord appoints one, the tenant names another and the Government a third, though it is the impression that the Govern- ment will ignore the rights of landlord and tenant and reserve to itself the right to appoint the com- mission. Be that so or not, the tenant need not purchase unless tae terms suit him. With the strides mace by agitation since 1881, as far as I can see, the new bili will fall flat and become a dead letter. It is. in my opinion. a relief bili for the land ords, many of whom are bankrupt, and are more than auxious to part with what has proved to be a bad bargain. All over Ireland large estates are deserted, and no one will, not only not rent farms on them, because tenants have been evicted from them, but the owner cannot find any one to purchase the grass or hay that has grown thereon. The estate adjoining my father’s farm, in Clare, containing thousands of acres, is tenant- less. The deer, rabbit and pheasant are the only oceypants. No one will rent an acre of it, because the owner, who finally had te fly to London. put out some tenants in order to increase the size of his deer park. if it could be simultaneously acplied all cou mu y ap to Ireland would no doubt be a relief. But, like all British measures, it is slow and cum me, and though the act is on the statutes fora long tim yet not one-fifth of the to number of cases sighing for relief have come under the inspection of the Commissioners, and over 6.000 cases, petitions to court for a settlement on the basis ofa fair rent, remain unheard. Hence the evictious go ou. For the quarter ending June 80th last as many as 1,826 fam lies were thrown out of their hoid ngs, embracing altogether 6,057 persons. It appears t in Ulster, the North, 1,586 persons of the above number were evicted, which goes to show thatin the sectionof thecountry known as the Orangemen's stronghold the evictions go on as in the South or West. ‘he silver lining to this still dark cloud is the fact that no one can be found to occupy the vacant farms, so that the revenue of the landiord is cut off, and by this means, if for nothing else, he will be compelied to sell. Those evicted tenants are maintained by the people and the Land League, and it is more than probable that after the next session of Parliament Parnell will have succeeded in putting an end forever to the — j of evictions, as the farmer will own his and if he be unabie to work it be can sell it. Parnell will, at the next el n, elect at least eighty members, and it matters not to him or his party whetber the Liberals or Conservatives are in power; with the foliowing that he is sure to have, he can dictate his terms. The first thing on the programme will be “Home Rule.” says that Scotland will get Home Rule.” Taat means. of course, that Ireland will have it. With Home Rule“ Americans will hear no more of * evictions, ofzmisery. Ireland will go forward, people be happy and 1 free. The climate of Ireland is very mild. In summer the temperature ran from 65° to 80°: in the winter from 45° to The cro ee ane aoe Sexy good Everyching is cheap. er is selliig at 120 per d; t is the of choice butter.

My trip East at this time bas no political significance,” he said to your correspondent. “I came with my family to visit our friends, Mr. and Mrs. John King, at Long Branch. My wife and daughter have just started for West Point. and will join me Saturday at the Rranch. I expect to go down there to-morrow and get a week's rest and quiet before beginning the hard work of the campaign, which is certain to be avery lively one. I spoke at Kenton last Saturday. My next speech will be at Hamilton, a week from next Saturday. After thatI shall devote all the time I can spare from my office tothe campaign.

By the way, there is a point on which I have been misrepresented, and I wish you would correct it. One of yourafternoon papers makes me say: ‘Our platform is in favor of a hizh license, and on that line we propose to fight.“ That is noi t and I have said nothing ofthe kind. Our platform favors a graded license, but not a high icense. Ido not wish to be misunderstood about this. The Democrgts of Obio FAVOR A GRADED but it would be a gross misrepresentation to say that they favor a high license. _In the last Legislature they wanted to make a constitutional amendment in favor of granting a license, but the bill was defeated by three Republican members. The Republicans can make no capital out of the Lezislature. That body was a it to the State. “Two years o there was some feeling among the colored — against Judge Foraker. Does that feeling still exist?” “It does, and has been intensified, I think, by the fact that the last General Assembly, which was Democratic, passed two civil rights bills giving the colored peopie all the rights enjoyed by the whites. I have many friends among the colored people. At Columbus we have a colored weekly Democratic newspaper, and a good one, which supports our ticket. It is called the Political Educator. Peter H. Clark, Superintendent of Colored Schools of Cincinnati, and principal of the Gaines High Sch who is the abiest colored man in Ohio and one the ablest in the United States, and other colored men or the State have organized a colored Democratic Executive Com- mittee to support the ticket, and will be able to do service curing the campaign.“ : „What win be the issues of. the campaign?“ * tly the bloody shirt with the Republic- 2 to be. the burden of Senator Sherman's re yesterday —— His ig the gun and the other speakers wi fall in line.

Four or five of the men turned out to be legal voters, and for this Mr. Mullen was arrested, indicted, tried and pleaded iity to save all other defendants charged with — and was sentenced to Jail for one year.

A number of the colored soldiers of Fort Meade, members of the Twenty-fifth United States Infantry, armed themselves and proceeded tothe town of Sturgis, threatening to burn the place.

FLED IN A STORM. n The Elopement of Del“ Wright and Ella Pratt at Stamford, Conn. -— — How Two Young Lovers Outwitted Their Parents—Across the Sound in a Sailboat During a Fierce Storm— Futile Attempts to Prevent the Elopement, By Telegraph to the Post-Dispatch. StamProrp, Coxx., August 28.—During the storm of Tuesday night a sail-boat put out and headed across the sound. Within an hour after it started the members of two famiiies of Stamford and a detective were scouring the town in search of Edward Delafield Wrigut and Ella B. Pratt. He has just turned-21 and she is but 17 years old. Asa runaway surprise, Tuesday's event was complete. The attachment of the young man and the girl was known. Jt met the approval of no one except thems¢ifiés, however, and steps were taken, with success it was thought, to keep them apart. Mrs. C. D. Wright, the mother of the young man, and Mrs. J Greenwood Snelling, the aunt of the girl, live in rig tee houses on Division street, a quiet by-way of Stamford. Mrs. Wright's father was Dr. Edward Delafield, of this city. After Mrs. Snelling's father the town of Piantsville, Conn., is named. er husband has an office in Temple Court. When Mr. Wright's business took him to Europe several years ago, Mrs. Wright rented their home on Thirty-first street, New York, and moved to Stamford to educate her children. The young bridegroom is her eidest. The Sneliings have lived on Division street for eleven years. Mrs. Wright moved to that street three or four years ago. Before that, she had boarded in another part of Stamford. The Snelling and Wright children knew each other as schoolmates before the families became neigh-— bors. The two houses are so close that the occu- pants would have little trouble in carrying on con- versation from their windows. A penny could be tossed from one to the other. Tue families felt towards each other as neighbers should, until two years ago, WHEN ELLA PRATT VISITED HER AUNT. The girl came from Plautsville, her mother having returned home after a residence in St. Louis, where her husband, Major William Pratt of the army,was stationed. A change of his detail from St Louis to Washington, where he —— remains, broke up their Western ome. iss Ela was a bright-faced girl of 15, full of good spirits and so- ciability. She met the Wr.ghts as a matter of course, The people and the customs of this part of the country were new to her. She mores every thing with keen zest; it was her special ight to be on the salt water. She found a congenial spirit in 22 Delafield Wright— Del,“ as he was Known. e was so fond of the water that he had procured for himself a sloop-rigged t, about twenty-four feet long. He was quite handy with tools and made his boat show its full worth. A cabin was one of its attractions. is ability to handle a boat of that size was recognized while he was yet a boy, and parties of young peopie were allowed to go sailine with him. Miss Ela was rarely absenc on such occasions. Sometimes he and she went aione. He taught her to saila boat. Tnat was the way their attachment began, The next summer she again visited her aunt. “Dei” Wright was at home that summer and his boat was as neat and attractive as before. He had nt the cool months in the city at a clerkship with the Transaviantic Fire Insurance Company. That work was not to bis taste, and summer found him eager for vacation with the boat and its snug Cabin as an accessory. He spent most of his time ia the boat. She was with him alone or with friends nearly every day. The result was that toward the close of the season he amazed Mrs. Pratt, who was visiting Mrs. Snelling, by asking her permission to make Ela his wife. Mrs. Pratt refused to consider the subject. Up to Tuesday last mo one saw the couple together alone. It was believed that they had not been together and that last year's affair was IN NO DANGER OF RESURRECTION. Mrs. Pratt spent Sunday at Mrs. Sneliing’s. What she heard excited no apprebension.

New York, August 28.—The following marriage notice was received at the newspaper offices last night: “Zacharoff-Billings—At the Hotel Madison, August 26, by Rev. J. Stanley D’Orsay, Zacharia Zacharoff to Jeanne Frances Billings, all of this city.” Your correspondent went to the Hotel Madison and found Mr. Zacharoff at dinner. He was entertaining two ladies and a gentleman, but excused himself and took the newsman to hig room. When asked about his marriage he appeared surprised, and after hesitating some time, acknowledged that he had been married on Wednesday afternoon at the Broadway Flats, but beyond this he would give no information. As be had said he was going to Europe, he was asked if it was true, and he replied: “I cannot say at present,but that had been my intention a few weeks ” “Who sent this notice tothe newspaper offices?” “That Ido not know, for I certainly did not; nor have I spoken to any one about it except my per- sonal friends. “Why do younot want to have the matter pub- lished?" Because there are various contingencies hang- ing on this marriage. It was sowewhat sudden, and if the news gets out before 8 o’cioc« to-morrow ht it will be a loss of a million to me. e would not say anything more nor tell where his wife was. She did not, however, stop with him at the Hotel Madison, as he reached that place about midnight and alone. He refused to say if either of the ladies who dined wita him was bis wife. One was an elderly person dressed in black, while the younger was a brunette, with bright, rosy cheeks, features somewhat long. very dark hair and light gray eyes, shaded by long lashes. Wher the Count returned to the cafe after his interview with tae reporter this young lady had left, but THE OTHER WAITED FOR HIM. | At the Rossmore Hotel, where Zacharoff formerly lived, the clerks had only neard the rumor, and knew that he had hired at the office a coupe on Wednesday afternoon, driven to 834 W. Seventeenth street for the Rev. D'Orsay and tuen to the Broad- way Flats. The visit of the Post-Dispatca correspondent asking for details was the first inti- maton to the mother of the bride tuat the wedding had taken place. Mrs. J. H. Billings, the mother, was represented at her reside.ce by a young mau inti- mately related to the family, and in Mrs. Builings’ presence he said: We had an idea gaat the mar- riage had taken place. We supposed tnuat Miss Bilungs was at the residence of ner brother-in-law, a snort distance in New Jersey. The Count Zacuar- off has been in and out of town of late, but we have not kept very clese trace of him. We do not know any Harrington of tue Broadway Flats. If they were married there, of * t would be a friend stop „ the young man declined to say, and Mrs. Billings, with emphasis added, Don't print a word about it.“ Lieutenant Count Zacuaroff, whose visiting card is, or was last spring, embeliished with the legend, Garde Im- perial, aide-de-camp de La Majeste, I’Empereur," is an individuai who fortwo years or more has been a prominent figure on upper Broadway. There has always been just enough ecceutricity about the cut of his clothes to attract attention. He is a young man, just turned 80, and has hved an adventurous life. Tuough his ancestry may be shrouded in mystery, there is no possible room to doubt that he is a man of the worid, aud able, upon all occasions, to distinguish the false from true in most worldly affairs. He jumped rather unpleasantly into pubic notoriety last May through his dismissal from a lucrat.ve position in the service. of the . Boudoir Car Company. There were at the 0 all manner of conflicting statements concerning the Count’s loss of his position, and it will perhaps be remembered by the readers of the Post-Dispatce that he made a desperate effort to show that ne bad not been dismissed. The fact was, however, iucon- trovertible. When Mme. Adeiina Patti, two years ago, journeyed across the continent in a special train of Mano Boudoir Cars Count WAS A SHINING FIGURE in the triumphal procession. He had half of one of the splendid coaches to nimself. Everybody seemed to understand that he was a noble who had consenied to accept an important executive position because of his disinclination to lead a life of idleness. The news that ne had been discoarged from the employ of the company cre- ated a genuine sensation among the Ceunt's ac- quaintances, and ali persons who were familar with his past history. Tnat history, according to bis own story, had beeu remarkable, as will be fully appreciated when it is explamed that he claimed, and stiil claims, to be a nephew of tne late Prinee Gorischaxoff of sia, and to have b3eu banished from his native land by the Czar, because of his uaselfish devotion to tue late Gen. Skobe.etf, whose aide he at one time was. The story‘that is told is as follows: Gen. Skobeleff was not only his superior officer, but was, as well, his friend, and he was continuously in bis company. He was with the General at Paris at the time the General dehvered his famous anti-German speech The General was immediately reca:led to St. Petersburg and the Count went with him. The Czar, who was grievously offended, wouid have been glad to have punished both Skobeleff and Zacharoff, but as the General was the hero of the hour he (the (zar) contented himself by venting his wrath on the Count, whom he exiled tor a period of two years. It was then, and under these remarkabie circumstances, that Count Zacharoff’ came to America. For a time after his arrival in New York be lived the life of a veritabie bohemian.

Collins at Bowling Green, Mo. - — —— The Doomed Man Self- Possessed On the Gallows— His Confession to Be Published— The Widow and Chil- dren of His Victim Witness the Execution—Hanging of Waiseman at Duluth, Minn. By Telegraph to the Post-Dispatch. Bow ine Green, Mo., August 28.—Last night at 12 o'clock people began coming for the purpose of witnessing the execution of Samuel W. Collins, and continued to pour in until the crowd numbered at least eight thousand. The scaffold was erected in a very picturesque valley about one-half mile fromtown. Three large hills surround the gallowsand they were black with people, men, women and children. Promptly at 10:05 o'clock the closed carriage conveying Sheriff Fielder, Deputy Sheriffs Monro and Gienn, the doomed man and Revs. W. J. Pattrick and R. W. Mc Masters. his spiritual advisors, arrived. The Sheriff and prisoner immediately after alighted from the carriage, and ascended the steps to the scaffold, followed by the ministers and officers. After reading from the Bible and prayer by Rev. McMaster, the sheriff’ asked Mr. Col- Uns if he had anything to say. Collins stepped forward and said in substance: Perhaps some of you expect a statement from me, but my couression will be published in the Bowling Green Times this evening. Friends, some of you may think I am in an awful fix and I hope you will take warning and do better. I bid you good bye.“ The black cap was then pulled over his face, his limbs strapped and the noose adjusted, when the Sheriff said; “Mr. Col- Uns, are you ready?“ He answered: “Iam.” The lever was pulled and Samuel W. Collins dropped into eternity. It was exactly seventeen utes past 10 o'clock when the trap fell. After banging eignteen minutes he was pronounced dead by the physicians and the body was taken down. COLLINS’ CRIME. On the morning of September 24. 1883, 8. W. Collins left his home near Middleton, in Mont- gomery County, and with his rifle started for the farm of Owen Utterback, nine miles distant. After reaching the place he hid bebind a beige fence and waited there until Uttervack came from his dinner to resume work on a trench be was digging near a pond, in the barn yard. Utterback had been working only a sbort time when he heard some one to him, “Good evening, Mr. Utterback!” Hestraightened up to see who was speaking, and as he did so, Collins fred at him, the ball entering near the left nipple. Ashe fell, Utterback exciaimed, On! On!“ and expired. His death cry was heard by his wife who was in the house, and also be a yeung man working in the stable. They immediately ranto thetrench and found Utterbach's dead body lying on the ground. The neighbors soon gath at the scene of the tragedy and a Coroner's jury was impaneied, but nothing was developed by the inquest. Subsequeat- suspicion poin Collins the murderer, and he rested the next day. He was brought Bowli Green and indicted without delay. At first Collins denied his guiit, but afterwards con- feased the killing. When arraigned in court, Coi- lins n adinitted his crime. On the first trial the jury , but on the second Collins was con- victed. The case was appesied and there were two more trials. the murderer being convicted again on the last and sentenced to hang May Siast. A stay of execution was granted by Chief Justice Henry of the Supreme Oourt, but subsequentiy that tribunal sustained the verdict of tie lower court, and Friday, July 31, as the day for Colltus“ execution. THE DOOMED MAN'S WIFE labored hard and faithfully to secure a commuta- tion of his sentence, and. with a petition numerously signed by leading citizena of tue county, members of the jury and some of the courtfofficia persuaded Gevernor Marmaduke to grant a ite until to-day. During the Governor's absence from Governor Morehouse was appealed to, but ne deciined to interfere. Utterback, the murdered man, was a prosperous farmer, had a family and was highly esteemed. Collins was also regarded as a quiet, industrious man and had worked for the mau he murdered. He claimed. aud proved by witnesses, that Utterback had cir- culated false stories damaging to Mra Collins’ reputatiou for chastity, and while seeking an ex- planat ion @ quarrel ensued which terminated ia the tragedy. ly, however, 48 the State Actin Waiseman’s Execution.

Cincrxwati, Omo. August 28.—Preparations are going forward very slowly at Chester Park for the Sullivan-McCaffrey fight to-morrow afternoon, and the general lack ef earnestness in this work indi- c ates that there is an apprehension that the County Sheriff may interfere early to-morrow, or at some time preceding the great event of the day. There are few arrivals from adjacent cities, and the army of “old timers” who usully patronize any- thing of the kind are not present in Cincinnati and do not promise to be here to-morrow. At the very farthest, it is expected that not more than 20 people will be attracted to the city by the fight. This is another indication that there isa probability of having the day's pro- gramme spoiled. Stillthere is great excitement bere about the mill, and there will be, it is estimate, at least fifteen thou- sand people at the Driving Park to-morrow. The newspapers say little about the efforts to stop the fight. The clergy and church people, however, are HARD AT WORE and hope to accomplish something. They can do nothing without an order of court, which they have not yet got. A deputation of clergy men called on Sherif Beresford this morning and ask bim to stop the contest, but they get no satisfg@tion. The Sheriff is related to George Campbeil, brother of Tom Campbell of re- cent riot fame, who is managing the affair, and, as the lessee of the park gets forty per cent. of the day's receipts, it will be seen that the Sheriff is to some extent inter-. ested. He bas said that if pusbed too hard he wil ask for A DETAIL OF POLICE to preserve order; that isall. Sullivan, accom- panied by his brother Mike, and his trainer, Jim Daley, arrived from Boston and was received at the depot by a great crowd, whose salutations he paid not the slightest attentiog to. He went to the Grand Hotel and remained there until 11 a. m. to-day, when he left for the park. He will take a long walk this evening and another to-morrow morning, which will complete his preparations forthe fight. It has been said that he is in better condition than at any time.before. This is not so. He has pulled him- selt down, be says. to two hundred and eight pounds, but he looks heavier and does not seem to have had any training. He has merely tried to take care of himself. ; HE DRINKS BASS’ ALE FREELY, drinks in fact too much of it, and his friends are afraid that by doingso he is jeopardizing his chances for the morrow'sfray. He says, though, that he will knock McCaffrey out in two or three rounds. McCaffrey. on the other hand, is in excellent trim, and as the pugs say, “Fit to fight for his life. He weighs 165 pounds, and, though a little broader in the shoulders, very much resembles Chariey Mitchell in build. He is not very confident of staying for six rounds, but has said openly that hewill knock the “big fellow“ out of the ring. This latter asser- tion is laughed at by the sporting men. The only chance in the world that McCaffrey has of winning is by adopting the tactics used when he fought Mitchell in New York. that is, running away from his opponent. It is be- lieved that he will do this with Sullivan, and as he knows that by making Sullivan chase him around the ring for six rounds he may win, he will give Sullivan MORE FOOT WORK than fist work in the battle. When he fought Mitchell, he would get in a blow or two and then run back; during the four rounds he man- aged to hit Mitchell oftener than Mitchell hit him, and so was awarded the fight. Thisis his only chance of winning to-morrow. Charlie Mitchell told me to-day that McCaffrey, even in his present excel- lent condition, is not nearly so good aman as Jack Burke was. He is neither as heavy nor as good a boxer. If it was four rounds ora fight toa finish, Sullivan would kill him, but being six rounds and McCaffrey combining the attributes of boxer and runner he may wind Sullivan and win the fight. Muldoon, the wrestler. gave his opinion that McUaffrey stood NO SHOW OF WINNING. He was not as good a man as either Burke or Mitchell, and only an accident could give him the fight. He said all McCaffrey was after was the $1,000 the loser got and his share of the profits of the bar at the McCaffrey training quarters near Chester Park. JUSTICE SANDERSON this afternoon on information of a representative of the Society for the Prevention of Vice issued an order direcbing a Township Constable to arrest Sul- livan and the constable went at once to Chester Park. It is believed that this move will not prevent the fight, as it is said that the constable will not be able to find Sullivan and will not be rash enough to try to arrest him when he appears in the ring. A Warrant for Sallivan. Crxcirnati, On10, August 28.—A constable was sent out to Chester Park at noon with a warrant for the arrest of John L. Sullivan, on the charge of being about to engage ina e¢ontention, commonly called a prize fight. At 2 o'clock the constable had not found Sullivan. May Go On. Crxcrxwatr, Onto, August 28 —The efforts of the Law and Order League to stop the contest between Sullivan and McCaffrey to-morrow appear now to be limited to arresting the parties and requiring them to give bond. This would not necessarily the contest, and there is some deubt whether stop the arrest will be att empted. ——— BELLEVILLE. A Doctor's Disgraceful Condact Causes a Sensacion—Notes.

Insanity, like bydrophobia and the illness caused by the bite of the deadly cobra, is amongst the dis eases at present almost beyond human science, and. in its deeper forms, beyond human understanding “also. Again and again have physicians—those who have made the subject a life study—founded some theory upon a long series of precedents without an exceptional case; the matter has been taken up, warmly discussed and re-discussed by the most competent authorities of the generation and at length decided to be fact. Presently the whole theory has been overthrown by some directly con- tradictory case, showing conclusively that, however valuable the theory may be for general use, it cannot be used with any der- tainty of safety individually. A curious instance illustrating this fact occurred some two years ago inthe County Lunatic Asylum in Toronto, Ont. The medical superintendent of this institution is Dr. Andrew Clark, a man renowned through England, Canada and America for his deep study and long practical experience in every form of insanity. One of the oldest theories in maniacal science is, or was, that homicidai and suicidal mania are two distinctly separate branches of disease; that the suicidal maniac can never develop homicidal ten- dencies, and vice versa. Acting upon this principle, Which bas been verified by repeated experience, it is always usual to place two suicides together in a chamber in order that they may exercise a deter- rent effect upon one another. but to keep the homicides, whose maniacal tendency is too strong tobe safein company, aione. Following this frequently indorsed theory, the superintendent of the asylum in question bad placed two women in one chamber, one an old lady of sixty, the other a young woman of twenty-taree or four. Both had frequently shown suicidal tendencies and had occupied the same chamber for about four years, ever since the young lady had been incarcerated. One morning early, horrible shrieks were heard from this chamber, and the attendants, rushing to the spot, found the door firmly fastened. Every articie in the chamber bad been piled up against it, and it was some moments before it could be opened. When at length entrance was obtained, the oid lady was found stretched upon the floor, with her head literally battered to pieces. Dancing over her, with horrible maniacal ‘shrieks of laughter, was her companion, braadisuing over ber head the bucket with which she had done the deed. I'm glad I killed her! I'm giad 1 killed her!“ sbrieked the gir: as she was led away by the horri- fied attendants. Foran houror two afterwards she remained in a state of fearful excitement, which the efforts of the entire medical staff of the Asylum were unable to allay; until at length, very reluctantly, the superintendent administered an opiate. Almost immediately she san« into a death- like stupor, from which nothing could rouse her, and died twenty-four hours afterwards without recovering consciousness, Another difficulty connected with insanity is the question of recovery. Frequently, in the quiet watchful air of the asylum,a patient will give every evidence of cure. Possibiy, if he remained there, the feeble brain might again fail but the first few days of outside bustle and turmoil will be sufficient to cause a relapse. A curious instance of this occurred in Paris some years ago. O.eof the patients in a large tate Lunatic Asylum had been singularly quiet and intelligent for more than two years, aud showed every sympton of perfect sanity. His friends demanded his release several times, but the superintendent felt uneasy, and refu-ed to signa the order. Being a paying patient, it was thought that ths doctor was actua by motives of greed. The patient's friends applied to the authorities, who in- sisted, contrary to the physician's warning repre- sentations, in sending a guard to conduct the patient to his friends. The superintendent could give no reason for his suspicions otver than a previous and similar Cas e. where dire had been the consequences of release. So the man was removed. But in less than an hour he was returned a raving maniac. Hardly had he crossed the threshold of the asylum than, excited by the noise and tumult in the streets, and the idea of freedom, he snatched a saber from one of the soldiers sent to escort him from his prison, and succeeded in killing three of the bystanders before he couid be secured. Equally strange and horrible are some of the freacs of madmen. Connected with the same institution in which this event occurred is, or was, when the writer wasin Paris some ten or twelve years ago, a separate quarter for lunatics who bave committed revolting or borrible crimes. It is culled “La Surete.“ Some of the inmates have committed crimes almost beyond human imagination. One specimen, and that one of least atro- cious, will suffice. A man. stin young, and who is now incarcerated in La Surete, mur- dered a littie girl 8 years of age, tbe daughter of a neighbor. Alter committing the crime be tore the body to pieces and cut out the beart, which he de- voured. A rather comical! phase of lunacy occur- red near the writer's house in Engiand, though the comical side of the affair was strictly confined to those who did not come within reach of the murder- er's weapon. A householder and the father of a family beard a sermon in which the wickedness of mankind was vividly portrayed. He was a pros- perous man of business in affluent circumstances, aud not adoubt bad ever been entertained as to his perfect sanity. On hisretura from cuurch, and during the mid-day meal, he seemed much excited about the sermon, which had been a forcibie one; but, being naturally a vehemeat and self opinion- ated man, bis excitement aroused no comment. Aft- er diazner he sat down in an easy chair, before the fire, as was his custom, and weut to sleep, his wife meanwhile starting with ali the family ex- cept one (a boy of thirteen who remained at home) for a Sunday afternoou stroli in the publc park, which faced the house. Shortly afterwards a friena- ly neighbor came in, arousing the sleeper. Stie awoke su:idenly, glared around him with maniacal fury, and,seizing the poker, without a word.smashed the skuil of his boy witb one blow. He theu rushed towards the door, aiming a blow at his neighbor's head, which fortunately missed its aim, and simply fractured his collar-bone. The madman then rushed into the street, and entered the crowded park shouting Lam Aimighty God and am sent to wreak his vengeance upon the human race.“ He assaulted every one with yells of fury, and succeeded in Kullmg three persons (of whom one was a woman) and injuring five times that number before he was overpow placed in safe keeping. Business men who work their brains to ex and live in constant excitement, such as Board o Trade merchants, stock brokers, and the like, are uliarly liable to a form of softening of the — So common is this disease on the London Stock Exchange that it is cailed stock brokers’ mania. it frequently attacks men in the height of rosperity. ‘lhe first symptoms commence in a — of business ability. he subject books or pens, forgets appointments, of most intimate friends; cannot retain the date of the day, week or year; si‘s down to write a letter, and, his attention being diverted for a woment, forgets ali about bis letter and the subject thereof, and leaves it unfinished. He will be constantly asking for articles just put carefully away, and is unable to spell or calculate. Frequently his letters will be found with almost every word misspelt, full of useless eragures and wrong caiculations, Gradually memory fails en- tirely, and the sufferer sinks iuto a state of childisn idiocy from whieh he rarely if ever recovers . A curious story is tod a stock broker's liar delusion by the famous Dr. Gregory of Edin- b One of bis oldest friends was anxious to issue invitations for a dinner never nctually as the un again: oh! keep her off, keep her off, in convulsions.

The same rule applies to persons of habit- ual good sense who suddenly show signs of eccen- tricity. In point of fact any sudden change of manners, for which no reasonable cause can be as- signed, denotes brain disease. For instance, if an habitually humane man becomes eruel and brutal; a cautious, saving person suddenly becomes wild, reckless or spendthrift; these symptoms denote mental disturbance of a ve grave character. The senses one or all may be affected. For instance, a sudden acuteness of hearing may occur in a per- son habitually rather deaf. Tus sense of smell is often i in force so that the slightest odors are exaggerated into most powerful smells. The sense of feeling is affected. Often a gritty, body like sand, seems to be int between the fingers and everything touched; or others have remarked that everything feeis like velvet. In ove ease a patient imagined constantiy that he had extraneous particles of sand, stone and grit in his shoes. Epileptic fit often come and go unknown in sleep, and the bitten tongue is the only indication inthe morning of approaching brain disease of a severe type. Occasionaily partial par- alysis of the nerves will take piace. [For instance, a gentleman who afterwards became incurably insane would frequently ask bis servant, aneriiy, why a broken wine glass was placed on the table. would declare that the glass which his master w Upon examination it sound. The cause was partial paralysis of the nerves of sensation on one side of the lip. Sometimes a man will say his fin- ger feels like a sausage, or again his sight will be curmiousiy affec On one occasion, a gentleman out hunting wita his servant asked the latter why he brought out eight dogs, when four were more than enough. The man, in astonishment, assu his master that there were but four. As arp dis- ute took place, which ended by the servant lash- ng the four hounds and bringing them up for in- spection. Ascertaining by the sense of feeling that tere were really only four, it did not taxe the gen- tleman long to decide that there was something mysterious and fearful the matter with him. Wheeling round on his horse, he galloped home and dropped in a fit at his own door, from which he never raliied. The physician who records the case is of the opinion that had it been treated on the spot when first the obliquity of vision occurred, life, if not reason, might have been n n THB ADVANCEMENT OF SCIENCE, Important Session of the Various Sections This Moruing. Ann Amon, Mic., August 28.—At9o’clock the Botanieal Society met and spent an hour in the dis- cussion of special features of piants. At the regu- lar hour the general session met and made several changes in the constitution of the association, the only important one being the merging of section G—that on Histology and Microscopy.“ with the section on Biology.“ such action having been recommended by the section itself. Eleven new members were elected. Prof. 8. B. Langley of Aliegheny offered resolutions recognizing the valuable work done by the United States Coast Survey, and deprecating the judgment of such work by other than scientific men. A general des- cussion followed, a number of prominent members participating. At flrst some misunderstanding of tue question aroused some opposition to the motion, bui all tne speakers united iu praising the accurate and valuable work already done by the Govern- ment, the report that the work was of no value being most emphatically denied. The vote on the resoiutions was unanimously in the affirmative. After the general session the sections met for short meeti gs, the work being shortened by the ieugth of the discussion in the large meeting. To-Morrow A Fine Day. For the first time in many a long and dusty day, St. Louis was cooler this morning than St. Paul. This was established by the morning bulletins of the Signal Office, the record here at 6 a. m. being 56° against 58° in Minnesota. Further North, however, the cooluess continued, the mercury re- maining at 40° at Fort Buford, Dakota. The indi- cations are that to-morrow will be warmer and fair, and that means a sweating temperature again, as tbe highest reading to-day at the Signal Office up to 2 p. m. was 72.2.

Notwithstanding the cynical prophecies of those who foretold that lawn tennis would prove a passing craze, and would soon join croquet and rink-skating and other exploded novelties, the 2 seems not only to hold on own against the flickle injures of time but it extend its dominion and strengthen its sway. The entries this year at Wimbiedon betoken anything but a dwindling interest in its attract tions; and the number of persons who are draw- thither from mere curiosity of seeing the best players throughout the country testifies equally to its prevailing propularity. It does not look however, as though much novelty is promised in the shape of fresh champions. In the All Comers’ match yesterday, Mr. E. Renshaw easily defeated his ate by three sets to two, and Mr. Lawford still more descisively beat his antagonist, the American player, Dr. James Dwight of Boston. It remains to be seen whether this year Mr. Lawford or Mr. E. Reushaw will have to play the brother of the latter. Mr. W. Renshaw, who has so far held this championship 1 all comers. Lear by year, uo doubt among amateurs, the standard of play gets higher. The younger onns see to that. Hitherto most piayers began to play at 20,30, 40! But now the people who gan at 15 at 12, at 10, are coming on,and these are at a manifest advantage compared with thage who began to play later in life. Playing with them is an instinct rather than a reasoning process, they are so accustomed to it. They play lawn tenuis as birds fly and as fishes swim. It seems to have come naturally to them. This it is that has brought into the field ip players who can hold their own against men. a girl with a natural aptitude for lawn tennis and a good physique begins to play before she is in her teens and piaysso many hours ail through the summer, it is not wonderful if, by the time she reaches 18, she is an adept, and can put men of 40 or 50 to shame. The abstemiousness of women, too gives them a great advantage. Eating and drinking less than the greedier sex, they arrive upon the ground more fit.

The inhabitants inthe neighborhood of Sqventh and Olive streets have for the past week been grea:ly amused and slightly annoyed atthe three-sided difficuity which has cropped out in that neighbor- hood. The difficulty first became appareat on Tues- day evening when a series of shrill feminine shrieks and the noise of a very one-sided figh alarmed the neighborhood. The noise was located inthe rear room of the saloon situated at the southeast corner of Seventh and Olive streets, and the firemen in the No. 6 Engine House felt that it was their duty to interfere. This they promptly started to do, but they found itgemselves unable to gain an entrance. They therefore simply vided their time, and when the principals appeared they proved to be Mr. Frank Alexe, the proprietor of the Hotel Aiexe, anda handsome Tittle vicinity, is alousy is the a arge, handsome oD: as the disturbing element. The origina! disturbance hinges on the tali blonde pri- marily, and dates back some time. Mr. Alexe’s own story is as follows; Some time he went to some point in Canada, where he met Jutia Le Fay. It was a case of mutual infatuation, and as a resuit Julia accompanied him to the New Orleans Expo- sition and to other places. Alexe, when he canie to this cily found a splendid opperiuaity to buy the saloon and hotel on Seventh and Olive streets, known as the Hotel Alexe, and Julia figured there as his wife. Julia allowed the demon of jealousy to get the upper band. With the exception of a few semi-family tiffs everything went smoothly nntil last Sunday, when, overcome by the heat and fatigue, Mr. Alexe went into the hotel parior to take a nap. Julia Le Fay waited until Morp ieus aud the nigutmare had a convention assembied oa his person, and then JULIA CALLED THE COLORED PORTER of the hotel aud sent him to Addiugtoa’s drug store across the street with instruction to procure some cowbage, or, as it is more popularly known, cow itch. Tne porter returued wita the informa- uon that as cowhage was a poison 8.0 could not have it. Julia sent back word that Mr. Alexe wanted it to kill cockroaches or rats or something else. Tue porter came back with it, anda smile of flendisn joy overspread Julia’s classic features. She cautious.y apprvuached Alexe and carefully put the medic.noe where 18 would do the most good and create the most havoc, She retired and in four minutes Morpheus and the nightmare adjourned sine die anu Alexe prauceu into tae middie of the room wica a franus howl, and a collecuon of itcaing spots on him tuat the fluest census taker wouid have taken tweaty- four hours to enumerate.

FRIDAY, AUGUST 28, 1885. — — AS LONG as the discrimination against St. Louis continues, the Post-Dispatcn will con- tinue to show it up. am We invite the attention of the Railroad Commissioners to sundry and various infrac- tions of the statutes relating to the railroad interests which are put in their charge. — —— U——U k ꝓ— te Sr. Lovis has every reason to rejoice that the State Railroad Commissioners went to Kansas City first. Compared with the absurd demands of Kaasas City, the utmost St. Louis asks sounds like self~ 5 EM 1 N His second the porate authority shall be so clearly as to for- bid every phase of usurpation and public and corporate rights above the clap-trap clamor of partisans. ° There can be no reasonable doubt that the courts possess the amplest powers: to enforce every mandate of the Constitution, and the disturbance general business, the embarrassment to individuais and communities directly interested in the South Pennsylvania and the Beach Creek lines, and the vexatious unrest that must ever be bred by the popular and partisan discussions of corporation monopoly, unite in demanding that the proceedings instituted by the Attorney-General shall be promptly prosecuted in the courts until the highest judicial deliverance shall be obtained. No corporation, however formidable, can be above the fundamental law of the State, nor can any cor- poration that antedates the new Constitution plead immunity from the limitations and penalties relat- ing to the control of competing or parallel lines. If the Pennsyivania Railroad corporation has violated the commands of the Constitution, it should be romptiy restrained and corrected, and if it is clear its relations with the South Pennsylvania and the Beach Creek, the would should know it. A Civil Service Examination. From the Albany Argus. What is a well-deserved holiday? Our Administration enjoys a month in the mount- ains fishing.” 0 Correct. Next boy. What is junket ing! “Any member of the opposite Administration at- teading the funeral of his old father.“ That's right. Now, what is a statesman? “Tae gentleman who runs our caucus in Ward Four.” Yes. And what is a pothouse politician? “The heeler nominated for President by the other party.“ Right you are. What is a pean of victery? “Three cheers for our candidate.” And what is a hideous how! from a score of drunken thrdt's? Three cheers for the other candidate. What is meant by the millions of free hearts and honest hands upon which rest the hopes and des- tiuies of the republic? Us. ” Aud to whom does “the groveling hor de of blat - ant demagogues that wallow ina fotid cesspool ef festering corruption" refer? „Them!“ Correct all around. To-morrow bring your blue book to school with you and we'll pick out what is good for you. Remember, on the way home, the opposition members ali live on the shady side of the street. The pupils will find a basketful of stones in the front area as they pass out. Now, be good boys, and don't create any disturbance. The clase is dismissed. An Old Thing With Us. From the Brooklyn Earle. ’ “Russia is building a strategic railway to the Austrian frontier." You know what a strategic railway is, don't you? Buys its right of ways from the farmers for an annual pass, then gets all the land condemned and takes up the passes, then gets a State grant of two or three counties for the directors, buys its iron on long time, and pays for its grading with construction bonds, then issues equipment bonds te pay for rolling stock, borrows all the money in the country on the mortgages, calls in wverything outstanding and exchanges it for a deficit, changes its name from the “North and South Air Line“ to the East and West Shore Line.“ divides the swag among the directors, and runs the road with the deficit. It may be new in Russia, but it’s an old thing with us. Country’s just full of strategic railways. Telling a Story on the G. 0. F. From the Philadelphia Record. The present position of the Republican party reminds the Record of the youth who was set by the Captain to steeraship. The wind shifted, and the steersman slept, and when he wakened up, the star toward which he had been adjured to keep her head was away over the star-board quarter, or due aft, or somewhere where it should not be. “Say Cap'n,” yelled the boy, “we've sailed past that ere star; gimme another to steer by!" The Republicans have sailed past the star of their principies, and the ignorant steersmen are all ina terrified puzzie. MEN OF MARK. A Frevceman has mace his suicide remarkable by dropping from the tower of Notre Dame. A.ian B. Ma@avuper, a brother of the late Gen. Bankhead Magruder, died Tuesday morning at his home, in Stephens City, Frederick County, Va. Ex-Senator Powe. Carron is now out of politics and is devoting himseif to building up Eureka Springs, one of the watering places of Arkansas. So many of the boys sent to Wes: Point prove un- able to pass the examination for admission that about fifty Congressional D.siricis are unrepre- sented. - Pat Sunn. the Chicago turfman, used to bea bootblack and stable boy, and is now worth two hundred thousand of the dollars that were then so searoe with him, Tax Hon. E. B. Washburne has placed in the Washburn Memorial Library the old stone ink bot- tle from which ink was taken to sign the articies of Gen. Lee's surrender at Appomattox. Tun Hon. J. Werren Keifer, representing a syn- dicate of Obio cap'talists, has just purchased a tract of some thousands of acres of farming land at Hiis- worth, Kansas, including the site of old Fort Har- ker. J. S. Mossy, late United States Consul at Hong Kong, has arrived at San Francisco. Before ieaving Hong Kong he was waited on by a deputation of leading Chinese merchants and presented with a silver cup and an address. ALexanper K. Harr, who will publish Gen. Lo- an's book, says that the work wil! not have any- thing to do wiih Logan's campaigns, but is a history “of the conspiracy which ied up to the rebellion,” and will contain ‘startling facts aad documents.” A TALL man sat with his wide-brimmed hat on at a Texas concert, and when commanded to remove it be said; “It'll be worse if I do:“ but those bebiad him insisted that heshould uncover. He did so, and a mass of bristiing hair stood stiffly out from his head in all directions like the starched locks of imi- tation Circassian girls in museums. “I told you it'd be worse if I did,” he remarked. Tut misleading statement that the newly appoint~ ed Dean of Gloucester was retiring from the Head- mastership of Harrow with a fortune of £190,000, gays the London World, has given the greatest pos- sible offence to old Harrovians, amoug whom it is a well-known fact that, mainly in consequence of hig unparalleled munificence, public and private, Dr. Butler leaves Harrow comparatively a poor man. „Farnea Levi ALLEN, known to Second Advent- ists for these forty and odd years by his attendance at their camp-meetings, and to Methodists before that time as well, died at Chicopee Falls, Mass., last Sunday, at about half - past six o’cloce. He was in his both year, and has lived at the Falls since he was a young man. He leaves two sons and a daughter, all of whom sufferfrom mental derange- meat inherited from their mother. Carr. Joszpn Far will be remembered as the cemmander of the Virginius supposed expedition against Cuba in 1878. The Virgiuius was captured by the Spanish man-of-war Tornado, taken to a Cu- bau port and Capt. Fry afd others were shot. As the vessel was seized on the high seas while sailing ed and secured the surrender of the vessel and the | survivors, and Spain paid $80,000 to the families of the murdered men.

What the Editors of the New York Journals are Saying To-Day. By Telegravh to the Post-Dispatch. New York, August 28.—The Won says: “Gov- ernor Hoadly says, with the supremest satisfac- tion, no doubt, that John Sherman has led off the Ohio campaign by ‘waving the bioody shirt.’ Young Mr. Foraker, the amateur laundryman, naturally would want to wave something of that sort, and, indeed, the Republican campaign orators in that State are committed to the bloody shirt business by their party platform. in which the rebellious South, the war, and other obsolete historism are prominent planks. But that plat- form was built early in the summer, before Gen. Grant at Mt. McGregor had so emphatically an- nounced that the war was over, and before the Soutb and North united to pay their combined tribute to the dead soldier.“ THE SUN. The Sun says: “Our neighbor, the Times, being, in conjunction with the Evening Post, at the head ofthe Mugwump combination, holds to the idea that Cleveland was elected President because of ‘his position in regard to civil service reform.’ Now, that won't work. All the Mugwump voters in the country, with all their idolatry of civil service reform by competitive examinations, could not have elected Cleveland without the assistance of the Stalwart Republicans of New York, and these hate and despise their vile service nostrum as bitterly as do genuine Democrats. Besides, the Democrats didn’t vote for Cleveland on account of his civil service reform notions, but because he was the candidate of the Chicago Convention.” THE TIMES. The Times says: “Mr. Sherman's speech is very depressing as indicating a sad lack of material on which to conduct a campaign in his State. He must have been hara pushed when he resorted to the distortion and misrepresentation of facts to make up an indictment against the Administration. Even then, tne pardon of Muller, the failure of John Roach, and the refusal to pay the mail sub- sidy are the most serious charges that he frames. That he finds so little to denounce is a tribute to the Administration. Mr. Sherman seems to be unable to look forward, and he finds no new issue, no live quesiion upon which to ask support for his party. Eten the temperance question, though the people of his State are divided upon it politically as they are divided upon nothing else, he tries to shove out of politics, as if the question of regulat- ing the liquor traffic could be sertled iu any other way than by legisiation, determined by one party or the other. Weare sorry to see the cam nin Ohio opened in this feeble fashion.” THE TRIBUNE. The Tribune says: “Governor Hoadly has come Easi, it is reported. for the purpose of arranging for supplies of money. He has too many rich friends to be easily defeated for lack of a littie cash. The Administration evidently means to aid ulm as far as it can, and it has millionaires at its beck. Hence there isno telling what sum of money Governor Hoadly and his friends may com- mand for another contest. But ine Democrats will be obliged to pour out a vast sum to satisfy the hungry ‘workers’ of the party, and unless the sup- rove inade- quate for the ‘necessary expenses’ of the campaign. Ihe Republicans would not need large supplies if there were ho danger of fraud in the cities, They will need resources far more to guard against the rascalities which the recent legislation for the control of cities was intended to facilitate, than for any other purpose whatever. Moreover, they have one important advantage: the majority of the people are opposed, not only to Governor 123 Administra ſou and the corrupt Democratic Legis- iature aod its work, but to the Democratic National Administration as well, and to its policy, so far as it Can be said to have à policy.“ ANSWERs TO CORRESPONDENTS.

De Courcey Swears That He Swore Wrong Against Maj. Whitney. An Affidavit Which Turns Out to Bea Boomerang—The Most Important Partof His Serious Charge Wiped Out by a Second Statement—Present Singular State of the Matter. — — The last phase of the DeCourcey charge at at- tempted bribery to do illegal voting for the Repub- lican party against Major Whitney, Surveyor of the Port, used by Congressman Giover to obtain Whitney's removal has just been discovered and places the whole case in a very queer light. It will be remembered that the knowledge of the charge made against Major Whitney first came from Washington, where the charges were placed on file in the Treasury Department. They were made public on Monday July 27, and created considerable of a sensation here, as they were believed to practically settle the removal of the Surveyor and to be certain to create a vacancy in the office. The charge made by Frank J. De Courcey, who is a laboring man, living at 200 Ash- ley street, was in the form of an affidavit containing matter which not only reflected seriously on the character of Major Whitney and Bernard J. Hig- gins, but which was sufficient to bring them under liability for criminal prosecution. The statement of De Courcey as embodied in the affidavit was as follows: THE STATEMENT. know Mr. Whitney; he asked me eight or ten days before the October election, 1834, to go to Cmeinuati. Mr. Whitney and Barney Higgins came to my house at dark in the evening 7 said: . Woll, Jackson, would you like to go to Oincin- nati?’ Said, ‘Yes, if it paid me. Then Whitney said. „Oh, yes, it will pay you, for here is $10.’ ’ “ *With that, he ine out a $10 silyer certi- ficate. I passed it right over to the old woman, and said. ‘Here, oid woman, you wiil need no more money to pay the rent.’ Sus said: That is all right.’ Then we had a little more talk, and Whitney finally said. * Well, wnen will you be ready to go? ***andI said! Where! Higgins said: „o Cincinnati,” “Then.” I said. “What have I got to do la Cin- cinnati?" : “Well,” be says, Lou have got nothing much to do. Iwill pay your Way there aad back, and you board, and you've only got a certain chiugto do for me. “Says I, ‘What's that?’ “ “Well, you xnow,” says he, “we're going to have an election, and it is ali for the interest of the par- ty, and if it succeeds Mr. Whitney will surely appoint you to a janitorship in the Custuia 0 ” H : And I gaid, “I’m much obliged, Mr. Whitney.” Mr. Whitney said: “Yes, I will.” “Now,” said L “Higgins, -what do you want me to do when J get to Cincinnati?’ He said: “I want you to vote the Republican ticket. “Then I asked: „How can I, when I am not registered, nor living there! a „Oh,“ said he, we will settle that; will give you names and tickets, and also look out for you and over you, and tell you what to du; if any Democrat should come up to vote, kind of buildoze him and keep him away, and if a Republican comes up, to push bim rigut in and have him vote, and we will be supplied wits money at the polls. “Tuen I gave him my answer. Said I: Look a here, Mr. Higgins and Mr. Waitney, Ihave been a Democrat — these last 2 = 2 ears; yes, for sixteen or eigute and W. : — E Dewe „Nat Claiborne, Bob Claiborne and Judge Jones can vouch for that; and look a here, you are trying to bribe me, you can —, and ou can out of J Bar — to pr} ag he back the $10. I said: ‘Ask the 2 woman for it; see if she will give it to you.’ was sitting on the bed. „On, he says, you ask the old woman for it yourself, You gave it to ber.“ “I said: ‘Old woman, this man wants that $10 I gave you.’ Shesays: What for?’ I says: ‘Oh! he wants it. She says: ‘Whatever I get in my fist I keep it; with thatthey walked toward the door pretty hot, and said they would make it hot for me, and I have never heard from them since, and 80 she did keep it. I never got a cent. It was claimed that there were other witnesses and affidavits which would strengthen and substantiate this e. Whenthe statementof De Courcey came to the knowledge of Major Whitney he w to say the least, extremely indignant, anu express himself in the stro. gest terms. He declared that he did not know De Uourcey, had never seen him and bad never made thecallor the proposition charged against him, and prepared to briug suit against the auchor of the charges. The sume position was taken by Higgins, wuo made affidavit that he had never seen Major Whitney in his life, and who brought suit at once. Now comes tie singuiar part ot the whole matter. DB OCOURCEY employed Judge Willam C. Joues as his attorney to defend him in the case. Judge Jones took im- mediate steps to learn whetwer his client could identify Major Whitney as one of the men who had called on him, and made tue proposition to him, He sent De Courcey to Major Whitney's office to take a look at Lim, out he happened to be out. He then sent for Major Whitney to cail at his office while De Courcey was there, but witnout the latter's knowledge of the step he had taken. Major Whit- ney came, and De Oourcey failed to recognize hia, and afterwards deciared tively that he had never seen him a that be was not the man who had called on um with Higgius. This statement was embodied in a second affidavit which exonerates Major W 3 in toe most post- tive aud complete manner. ‘his affidavit was made public this murung. In the meanwhile, however, Judge Jones communicaied with Mr. Glover, who is absent from the city aud who re- plied at once that the exoneration of Major Whit- ney should be published, that he had advised the Department at Washington, and urged Judge Jones tO use every means to discover ihe man who im- personated Whitney and to hold on to Higgins. De Courcéy still reiterates his former statement that two meu called on him and made the proposi- tion to g 10 Cincinnati, and that ove of tuem was „Barney Higgins. Higgins denies that he had any part in air, so that there is a question of vo- ragity between Higgins and De Courcey. Even if Hir Ans was not oue of the men, De Courcey is sure of tne fact of the proposition being wade to him, and his wife will swear o che receipt of tue money. Judge Jones says thai De VCourvey's statement has every evidence of wuthfulness, and the question now in Which all the parties are interested is, who As far as Con , 8 *.— the alfair is concerned, ne claims vey met him ou tae street and stated the facts of the proposition to him. He thereupoa had him mage ent to them and used them, believing them to be true.

A LIVELY Wak — — — The Contest Betwees a Debtor and Cred- itor for the Possession of a House. By Telegraph to the Poat- Dispatch. Bos rox, August 28.—A house in Beverly, occupied by a man jnamed Howard, anda pilot, John W. Phillips, has been for two days a seat of war,owing to trouole growing out of a questioned lease. Since Wednesday the house bas been captured and re- captured, in the latter case by a force of 100 men, and is now iu a state of siege by the would-be eject- ors. It seems that the firm of Abbots & Reynolas in 1875 presented a billagainst Phillips for the sum of $1,000, attached his property while ne was away, and puronased the House in question at a Sheri sale.

Charlie Mitchell Speaks Disparag ; ingly of the Pittsburg Boy, And Dominick Talks Back Straight From the Shoulder—Louisville Wins a Game From the Crippled Browns— The Black Diamonds Saccumb to Buffalo—Hanlan Wins at Geneva Lake—Sporting Sundries. The third of the present series between the St. Louis and Buffalo clubs yesterday afternoon at the League Park resulted in a signa! defeat for the home club. The defeat was entirely the result of Kirby's ineffectiveness, coupled with errors by the St. Louis club. Conway wasagainin the box for Buffalo, but his delivery completely puzzled the Biack Diamonds, only three of whom succeeded in getting hits. St. Louis also played a poor fielding game, but the game was lost by weak batting, For the first five innings the game was extremely interesting, and neither side crossed the plate. In the sixth, however, after Rowe had been retired, White was given a life by wy A tipping the ball so that Glascock got it too late to throw to first. Stearns then followed with a safe hit, and on Meyers’ put-out both men ad- van a A dad error by Seery on Crowley's Ay sent both home. In the next inning, after Bt. Louis soored her only run on a three- by McKinnon and Lewis’ put-out at first, alo ut in two more runs after Richardson and Conway had been re .

To-Morrow's Game. The Buffalos close their series with St. Louis at the Union Grounds to-morrow afternoon, when the nines will be placed in this way: One for Loulgyille. St. Louis lost a game at isville yesterday purely on hberinability to hit Mays. It seems strange that Louisville should prove such a stum- bling block to the St. Louis Club, as the Browns easily defeat all the clubs that apparently have no difficulty in getting away with Louisville. When the two clubs played at the same city on the Browns’ last trip all three of Louisville's pitchers had a chance at the Browns, and the result was three victories for Louisvilie. The clubs play but five more games, two at Louis- ville aud three at Louis, and as Louisville has won six of the series and St. Louis five, the latter club must wio four of the next five es to win the series. The St. Louis Club ia in a way just now, and in yesterday‘s — two pitchers and two catchers were on the fleld at the same time, Suili- van playing at first and Fouts in left while Caruthers pitched. he bard —~ a7 of Louisvule won 0 game, a tot of fourteen ba being made off Caruthers.

The Cleveland Bicycle Races. CLEVELAND, Onto, August 8. — The races of the Cleveland Bicycle Club did nut open very auspi- ciously yesterday. There was an attendance of 2,000 persona, but the track was sticky as a result of the recent rains, and the weather was coo! approaching chilliness. The contests were entered into with spirit, but the audience did not see any fast time made, owing to the siow track, and in of course; there was — 0 er. who had been preceded by some large stories about his ability.

Considerable doubt exists between individual members of the Excelsior Rowing Club as to the speed of a wooden and a paper boat. Both have their staunch admirers who are willing to back their opinion with their muscles; they have conse- uently arranged a race to take place the 30th of Fugust at 4 m.

Unlike previous ovccasious, neitner the junior nor the senior crew will pull respectively as a body, but will be divided so as to have tue crews as near of equal streugth as possivie, in order to make a thorough and impartial test. Both crew are in active train or the past week, and as each is confident of winning, every sinew will be stretched to the utmost for superiorty. Tre race is to be from the foot of Anna street to Lesperaace street and return, the winning crew to receive golu medals.

The Market Continuing to Improve Steadily. Hopeful Views Expressed by the Agentse—Emerging From the Dull Season—Activity in Rents Increasing —Chats With the Agents— What the Architects Say. The real estate market is in a state of transition. It has been the grub all summer; pretty soon it will be the butterfiy, and all the indications go to show that it will have a quite delightful time of it thie fall. All classes of people related to the busi- pess, more or lees closely, are tired of the profitless inaction which has been so long prevailing, and, as soon as the fall trade is opened in earnest, there is every likelihood that the great mass of deferred business will be transacted, forming the liveliest and most satisfactory fall trade that the real estate men have ever enjoyed. The men that sell and the men that buy are all ready to begin business. Money is in plenty, and the land is available in localities to suit all tastes and abilities; all that is needed is the start. This can be looked for towards the middle of September, when the activ- ity of the renting department of the real estate market arouses the others, and the seller and the loaner follow suit and help to swell immensely the volume of trade. The improvement in the renting, which has been noted for the past two weeks, continues, and there is good prospect for an unusually heavy demand for residences to rent by the middle of September, By that time those who have been summering abroad will have — eg to return, andthe rattling of keys on the ce-boards will be heard throughout the real esiate sanctums. At the Estate Exchange during the week the attendance has been excellent, and, with the aid of the telephone, many houses have been secured by visitors without the trouble of passing to and fro between the headquarters of the renting interest and the various agents’ offices. The Secretary of the Exchange, Mr. Mark Priest, the object of whose stay at Coiumbia, Mo., has already been hinted at, will return home to-day. He will be found by the ladies to be a regular ready reference on the sub of five-room flats, he having corresponded reguiarly with the acting-secretary during his absence on the subject, finally selecting, it is said one in the West End, whose position and general 1 are all that young housekeepers couid a PERSONS VISITING THE EXCHANGE for information regarding this kind of dwelling will have no need to conéult the speechiess bulletins on the wall while the affable and intelligent Secretary is ready to converse freely on the subject to all comers. ne real estate agents had not very much to say this week, the velume of business on the whole having been somewhat limited: Henry Hiemenz, jr.: “The week has been a quiet one as far as actual sales are concerned. I sold 80 feet on Hickory, west of Jewell, to Albert Gerst for $25 a foot. r. Gerst intends to build upon the lots. two neat brick residences of a new styie which Will be found very acceptable to persons of me- dium means.” W. C. Wilson & Co.: “The week's business has been fair only. in the reuting line there has been considerable business. There is more inquiry for real estate every day and the condition of the mar- ket is constantly improving. We sold a piece of suburban rty. M. R Collins & Co.: “Renting bas been the feature of the week, having been quite lively. in other branches the business bas been quiet. We are having a great many calls fur real esiate and tall trade is, undoubtediy, going to be quite lively. We loaned $1,700 at 8 per cent.’ M. A. Wot & Co.: “Reuting, which has been active all the week, has fairly boomed to-day. We rented eight houses within the past two hours. We sold No. 1810 Pine street for $5.000 net to the pur- Ius demand for property is active. We have several nic; transactions under weigh which promise to be consummated very shortly. Heats & Co.: “Business has been quiet in its various branches with us, but itis improving. and we continue to look for a revival of business about the midu'e of September.“ ca & Rowse: “The week has not been PRODUCTIVE OF TRANSACTIONS but the feeling is excellent. There is a good de- mand for property of ali kinds. Renting is very good and is improving all the time. We loaned about $20,000 this week. On the whole the present coudition of the market may be conside quite satisfactory and the outlook very promising.” — Jonn Maguire: “Business has been d Rent- ing bas improved somewhat but we do not look for tae reguiar revival before the middle of September, when people get back totown from abroad. The number of houses torent is decreasing steadiiy, which isan excellent sign. Money is in fair de- mand. We have loaned about 838.800 this week. McCann, Kice & ington: “We have enjoyed a fuir trade this week. We sold a six-room house on Compton avenue, beten Wash and Carr streets, ou & lot 416 feet, for $2,700. The demand for money isquict. Property is in good demand. ‘Tne future is very bright.” Keane @ Grace: Busiuess has been quiet. Rent- ing is far. Ou the whole, business is in good shape aud improviog every day.” Rutledge & Horton: We have found business gen- eraliy quiet this week. Rents, nowever, are picklug up aud the outlook is quite favorable." THE ARCHITECTS. Taere to be but littie prospect of a revival of business among the architects.

AS TO THE SHAKERS. The people called Shakers are a very peculiar lot. They have a few communities in the Eastern States, with a sprinkling as far West as Ohio. One of their eccentricities is that they do not marry. As their re@ruiis from the outside world have of late years been very few, their number is dwindling. One of the chief brethren recently ran away with one of the chief sisters and married her. This greatly alarms the leaders of the Shakers, and makes them fear that the term of their existence is nearly shaken out. The vame of Shaker had its origin in astrange motion which the Shakers made in their devotional exercises. It is not unlike the shaking of a person who is 2 victim of that unpleasant dis- ease, Chilis and fever. There isa difference, how- ever. The devotional Shaker can stop his shaking when he pleases. The sufferer with chilis and fever cannot stop at pleasure; but has to keep on shuking. shaking, until the chill has had its way with him. Then comes the fever part of it, and the poor sufferer has to burn as violently as he shook. Chills and fever means concentrated wretchedoess. b Happy indeed would the hills -· and- fever patient be if he could stop his shaking as easily as the Shakers stop theirs. It is a curious thing in the history of this disease that the malarial res ions which contain the germs of it seem to be extend- ing in every direction. Districts which twenty or thirty years ago were considered free from malaria now furnish chills and fever enough to set half the population snaking. It is a happy fact, however, that with the scientific discovery of the one proper way in which to adminster iron and tonic herbs in One skillfully compounded medicine, we can laugh at the once troublesome disease, ana bid it begone. That the medicine has pular is not strange. Its name is on everybody's ips, and we can hardly go 1 E em without hearing “Brown's gratefully spoken of. One of our correspondents, investigating as to malaria and its cure, has been taking notes in this city, having found many well-known persons, who having been taken down with aria and well shaken, are now thankfully saying words for Brown's Iron Bitters, the medicine which made them well. Mesars. J. W. Peters & Co., are among the largest | fish dea ers in this city,and have their estat. lishment Our D occasion recently to visit their ce. and in doing eo to see their chief clerk, Mr. * - — is an exceedingly busy young man. The writer him, “As to that malarial fever of yours, Mr. Vieh, how was it!“ Said he, “I have had a very bad attack, indeed, of malarial fever: I took it in Kansas City last fall. Kansas City is one of the worst places in this whole country for malaria. You don't have to be there a great while before you are taken with chills and fever. After taking the chills and fever. I took Brown's Iron Bitters, which I am happy to say knocked the malaria and the chills entirely out. It was about three or four weeks that I was at my worst with the disease. I had it very badiy. Some people make fun of chills-and-fever patients, and say that they just have the shakes. But I tell you there is no fun in Kansas City shakes, Let the people who make fun of it try it for themselves, and see how they like this horrible shake, shake, shake, and thenthe burning fever that follows. I took nearly haifa dozen botties of the Bitters. I began to improve with the first bottle, and as I kept on taking the mediciné, I beeame stronger and better. due result was that the disease was driven entirely out of my system, and you can see for yourself that I am now 4 well man. Some distance out Lemp avenue, at Mrs. Young's house, No, 4243, Mr. Joun T. Cordingley boards. Mr. Cordiugley is on the river most of the time, aud when our correspondent visited the house he was absent, But Mfrs. Young kindly satdown and talked concerning the object of our visit. Said she, Mr. Cordingley is now in charge of some machine work for the Government on the river. You ask if he was sick, His case was one ef malarial fever, and he was for awhile very much of an invalid. He caught malaria in some of the low lands along the river. This Brown's Iron Bitters which he took drove the malaria all out of him, and made him all well. He is now as strong and hearty as ever, I believe. “i bave used this Brown's Iron Bitters, too, my- self, and so have eeveral of my friends. Mine was a case of debility. Summer before last I was very much pulled down. Two bottles of the Bitters put into my biood the iron which I suppose was need- ed, and set me on my feet again as sirong as ever. What a wonderful medicine this is! Inever knew of any such tonic. It is spoken ofa great deal by the people around here. Bome of them say that as long as they have this medicine in the house, they have no use for the doctors, andI think they are about right.“ Can anything be more evident than that Brown's Iron Bitters cures chile and fevers?

Claude Cave Collared—What Mayor Joyce Has to Say—Other Items of News. When Chief Halloran sent a letterto Mayor Jayoe & few days ago stating that the gamblers had left their haunts on the Island. it was generally considered that gambling had been actually sup- pressed; but still there was a suspicion in the minds of geome that the letter was merely a ruse to quiet the censcience of Mayor Joyce, who was firmly determined to set himself right before the people by banishing the knights of the green cloth from the city. It was said that the gambiers had really barred up the doors and pulled down the curtains, but had only done 80 to deceive the suspicious ones and that they still continued to conduct their ne- farious business the same as before. It is probabie that the deception which they were practicing would have beeu s for atleast some time to come had it not been tor the sumewhat strange, but honest endeavor, made by two consta- bles to take the matter into their own hands and suppress gambling, since it had become evident that the authorities whose sworn duty it was, had no intention of doing so. The constables referred to are Messrs Walter MeGarragau and Theodore Shierick. Yesterda morning, without announcing their intention to ap on the two constables went up to Belleville and swore out warrants before ‘Squire Medart for Claude Cave and another of the gamb- lers whose name could not be ascertained. Armed with the warrants they came down to the city last evening and proceeded at once to the river front where the gaming houses are located. Wheu they arrived at their destination they swerved somewhat from their original intention, and, after debating at the Narrow Gauge Depot for some time as to whether their contempiated step would be ad- visable, were on the point ot giving up their pro- raid when the Cairo accomm ou pulled and Deputy Sheriff D. K stepped on to the piatform. Both thought it would be a good idea to Mr. Antbony about the matter and act upon his advice. When they had informed the Deputy Sheriff of what they had cantempiated doing, be at once asked them what authority they had to pro- ceed in the manner which they contemplated. Con- uto arrest then braced up, and to make the raid, but asked him whether he would accompany them. Thinking that there was, to say the least, some cbi not together right in the matter, be was at tloth to doso, but knowing that since they had the warrants no trouble was able to be e rienced, he Unallx acquiesced, and the three walked over to the Haliessey House. found Mr. Claude Cave, one of the men for whom they were looking, standing in front of the door, and Constable Sbierick read him the warrant. Mr. Cave seemed siightiy surprised, but agreed to accompauy them. Mr. Anthony then left, and whetber the constabies took their prisoners up to Belleville last could be learned, as t con- stables themselves went up to Belleville early this morning, without saying anything to anybody about what they had done. Mayor Joyce was seen this morning, and when he hed been iutormed of the arrests made vy the con- stables last night he sald that it was tbe first he had beard of it. STILL RUNNING. But two of the gumblers were arrested on the Island, in front of their oid resorts, last night. Does it not look as if mbling was still running?” Ot course, it does; for what other business is it likely they would have ou this side of the river late in the evening.” “Do you mind stating what action you will take!“ “] will make an invesiigation of the affair at once, and will take some decided steps to sup- press gamiog you may be assured. Further than this 1 uo not care to say anything.“ Chief Haloran was sought after but could not be found. and no one eise but Deputy Sueriff Anthony was seen, who bad even beard anything about the raid made by the consta Several friends of Constable McGarragan stated this morning that he had dropped bis uttle pile at the gambling estab- lishment conducted by the Cave Brothers, a few nights ago. and it was this fact which probably led to the raid. This story, however, could not, autbenticated, and i is just as probable that tue were actuated by no other motives than to punish those whom they assured were violating the law by running gambling houses. not Notes. While a bridge engine was standing in the yards this morning in charge of Frank Hall, a fireman, the glass tube burst, and Hall was so frightened at the explosion that he threw himself out of the cab window. He struck on his back on a rail, and sus- tamed injuries which are not unlikely to prove fatal. r. Winton was summoned immedi- ately, and after he had attended to the wounded man's injuries, the latter was conveyed to his home, where he now lies ina pee condition.

AN OUTING FOR THE ORPHANS. the The Children of the Orpkan Asylams Ku- joy a Day on the River. The decks of the steamer Charies P. Chouteau presented a very pleasing appearance this morning as the boat backed out and slowly straightened down stream for her trip with the orpbans of ihe various asylums on board. The day was all that could have been desired, and the broad clean decks of the steamer, shaded by ample awnings, were filled with crowds of happy children fully deter- mined to enjoy the day given them through the untiring effortsof Mayor Francis and Mr. C. C. Maffit. The first to arrive on board was an ambu- lance full of children from the City Hospital and shortiy afterwards came the children from the Episcopal Orphans Asylum. Then in quick succession came troops of chiidren from the various asylums of the city, each in charge of the Sisters or matrons. The various bodies of children wore dis- tinctive uniforms, and it was a pleasing sight to see the little toddiers as the ming ee down the broad paved surface of the ee, headed and fol- lowed by the Roman Caihboiic Sisters in their broad white dresses. The delegation from St. Ann's Asylum was decidedly the most interesting one. None of the children were over 4 years of age, and the uniforth was a blue checked gingham, red stock- ings and white straw hats, trimmed with biue rib- bons. The faces of the children were a study. Few of them, if any, bad ever been on an ex- cursion before. and as they, timidly waiked up the gang-pian« = timidity rapidly to surprise and then to delignt. Mrs. J. H. Barnard and Mrs. Alex Mastbrook were waiting to receive them and the children were ten taken back to the dancing piatform in rear of the boilers. The little ones ranged themselves on a semi-crrcle of chairs and preserved strict order until a hand-organ and a monkey, engineered by a typical Italian, made their appearance. This innovation was the result of the efforts of Mrs. J. H. and was really a coup d'etat, for the children neatly went wild over the antics of the monkey. It was not intended at first that any but orphans should go, but it was found that the boat would not be overcrowded and as a few mothers and babies came it was decided to jet them come on board rather than disappoint them. Mayor Francis, Commodore Smith, Gen. Stevenson and other city officiais were expected to attend, but Mayor Francis had to de- cline on accountof press of business, and Gen, Stevenson and Commodore Smith deciined on the vague ground that they were bachelors. Mayor Francis did, however, come down to the wharf to see how matters were progressing. He was imme- diately surrounded by all the ladies oa the boat, who each insisted on presenting him with a button- hole bouquet Mrs. Barn quietly took that henor for nerself, whereupon the other ladies went off to pout. A: 10 o'clock the lines were cast off and the big steamer, with its load of happy chi- dren, started down stream. Mr. Mütenberger's register showed that there were 585 chiidren ou board, accompanied by numerous guardians and protectors. ‘ae Pee? - ae | was m charge. while Mrs. 3 ard was assisted by Mesdames Alex. Mastbrook, Frank W. Roberts, Sluder, McIntosh, Kercheval; Misses Moses. Sluder, Anstook, Grindon, Engelsing. Grin- don, Barnes, Wilcox, Younhbin; Messrs. Dr. Grindoa, Payne, Hulse, Roberts, Witherspoon and Stiebel The following were the donations: Waiawright Brew- ing Co., Anheuser-Busch and Anthony & Kuhn, each a keg of beer; Krafft, Holmes & Co., sugar: Dozier- Wey! Cracker Co,, crackers; St. Louis Dairy Co. and Bowman Milk Co., milk; N. J. Kinsela & Co., coffee; Nash, Smith & Co., tea. Candies, ice, lemons, etc., were contributed by the Fresh Air Mission. Mr. H. H. Hebel brought down a box of flewers to be given to the ladies in charge, and sent down ice cream, while Capt. Thorwegan contributed a basket of lake trout for dinner on board. The next and last fresh air excursion will be given next Tuesday by the railway agents and officials of this city. Mr. C. A. Lawton of the West Shore Lite has arranged the details and tendered the excursion, which will be managed by the Fresh Air Mission. TAKES IT COOL.

Arrangements of the Judges for Sit- tings in September. _ — — The Removal of Judge Denison Argued To-Day Before Judge Thayer —D. P. Dyer Excoriates the City Council—Counselor Bell Replies—An Interesting Decision—A Debtor De- fying the Sheriff. Judge Thayer sat to-day in Circuit Court No. 5, disposing of various motiens in pending litigation. The Court announced that Division No. 5 of the Court would be adjoarned for the term next Mon- day. Repairs to the court-room will be made dur- ing vacation, and adjouroment is necessary on that account, but Court No. 3 stands adjourned until the 14th of September, when one of tue Judges re- maining in town, probaBly Judge Thayer, will occupy the bench. Judge Barelay will probably be in town during the latter portion of September, The Denison Removal. The removal of Judge George Denison from the bench of the Second District Police Court furnished the subject of legal argument to-day in the Circuit Court. Judge Thayer after the motion hour called up the certiorari proceeding instituted by the deposed Justice against the City Council, and D. P. Dyer presented a strong argumentin his behaif. The Council was repre- sented by City Counselor Bell. The argument was upon the motion entered by the petitioner for judgment on the returu or answer of tue Council and the motion of the Council the case. D. P. Dyer return and reviewed it at some leagth. He quoted the Temple resolution, providing for an investiga- tion of tue city devart ments and the city officials, andthe preamble, setting forth that tue city de- rtments bad been prostituted by members of the publican party for partisan purposes. He assailed the authority of the Council for removing Judge Denison and contended that no cause had been shown for his removal. Moreover, the Council special committee had proceeded un- der the resolution without any sanction or author- ity of charter provision and had rendered a report on Judge Denison without xiving him an opportunity to be heard. No charges had been preferred against him, but be was called before tue committee to testify as a witness under a resolution calling for a general investigation of the management of city departments. There was no trial of Denison at all, and no notification was given him to defend himse.f. He was appointed by Mayor Ewing in April, 1883, and his term of office extended over four years, so that excep: for cause be could not be removed until April, 1887. when bis term wou.d expire. No cause had been shown, and the action of the Council was an out- rage. The charter ciotoaed the Council with no such power. The evidence of Judge Venison was quoted in the return to show that he left the court after disposing of his day's docket. Sometimes the docket would be disposed of in twenty minutes, but there was no other bus! ness before him and he could not be expected to sit croas- on his dench Waiting for the next day's docket. Colenei Dyer said that the decision of the Court of Appeals in the Campbell case was couclusive in this case, and he would ask for judgmeat On the return. Several authorities were cited. Beli replied to Col. Dyer and ground that the action of the Council was justified by tue report of the special committee recommending Judge Denisoa's removal from the bench, and by the evidence sub- mitted during the investigation of the city officers. It was a matter for the Council to determine whether the evidence in the case of Judge Denison justified bis removal, and they had so deter- inined, He had violated the rovision of the ordinance, as was cieariy shown by his own testimouy, as to his hours of attendance at his Court and as to his attention to private practice. The merits sf the question had been determined after evidence had been heard by the Council Committee, and it was taerefore nota matter for the jurisdiction of the Court. The proceeding shouid be dismissed. Counsel quoted several authorities. Judge Thayer took the case under advisement and it is not likely that a decision will be rendered until the October term. Judgment and Appeal in Entirety. Judge Thayer rendered a decision to-day quash- ing the execuiion in the case of the State to use of the Knapp-Stout Company against John Finn and others. The plaintiffs recovered a judgment atlaw against several defendants in their indi- vidual capacity and also against Thomas J. Haggerty in his representative capacity as administrator of W. H. Haggerty, deceased. All of the defendants, including the administrator, appealed, but without giving bond, acting on the theory that as the appea: by the administr dor witu- out bond stayed the execution of the judg- ment as to him it was stayed as to all the defendants pending the appeal. The question to be determined was wuetner the appeal by the administrator has the effect of staying the execution as to the other defendants. A judgment at common law against several defend- ants is an entirety. Therefore an appeai taken by one of the defendants from such judzment iu such form as to stay exccution as to nim removes the entire record to the Appellate Court. Tae lower court pending such appeal loses control over the judgment, and cannut issue execution even ust the other defeadants who could not appeal or may nave joined in the appeal, but without bond. In this case one of the defendants perfected an appeal in such form as to stay execution. The» other defendants oined im tne ap- peal, and the eifect f the appeai was to remove the record. The Circuit Court peud- ing the appeal bas no wer to issue execution on the judgment. The 1 in this case is so far an entirety that if l is reversed inthe Appeliaie Court because it is void as to one of the defendants, it would of necessity be reversed as to the o-hers. The cefendants interested in this case were led to take their appeal without bond by a logical appli- cation of the rule declared and enforced in the case of Welsh va. Ezermann. ; Defyiug the Sheriff. Messrs. Mills & Tatum presented in court to-day a motion involving a nice question of law. A. W. 750 against fore the testi- in bis ket between $1,500 and $1,000.

The Rosenblatt Trust. Judge Thayer to-day appointed M. B.

The defendant in the case was a young man named Phillip Wolff and the plaintiff was a sixteen- year-old giri named Katie Kiele. The warrant had been issued on the strength of the girl's statement that she. nad been w under promise of mar- riage by the defendant, but when placed upon the stand this morning her story was to the effect that Wolff had used force, and not promis or persua- sion, and, as sbe stuck sturdily to it, the case — the defendant was dismissed upoa the evi- MAXWELLS MEALS.

Mr. Maxwell's infatuated lady friend, Lizzie Ham- Uton, a member of the demi-monde, looks after his spiritual interests as well as ais physical wants, and when the inevitable hamper turned up at noon to- day it was found to contain a dozen raw, a slice of boiled California salmon and some delicately-tinted oyster patties. The Illustrious defendant's eyes glistened as the snowy napkins which covered the lay-out were removed and they fell upon that fast- day feast. Les.“ he said, in answer to the ro- porter’s question, “I can’t complain of my life in bere as leng as I am treated as well as this. I eat well, sleep well and have a good digestion.am not overourdened with work, and so, why snould I complain? My guard- lans are as induigent to me as their regulations will permit, and, altogether, life is anything but a bur- den.” “I noticed this morning in one of the photograph- ers windows a ghastly combination of pictures. Your portrait was on the top, beneath were pict- ures of the tragic trunk and of the embalmed body, and below alia portrait of Preller when alive, and do you know there's a terribly strong family like- ness between the dead Prelier and the live one!? “Ah, but who told you that that was Preiler’s 3 “] was just mentioning the similarity.“ “Ind I should like to see the picture; couldn't you bring it in for me to examine. Perhaps I should be able to identify Prelier myself. “What kind of a temperament was Preller? of the quick, sanguine kind, wasa't he!“ He was just about as SLOW AND LYMPHATIO an individual as | ever met. He was a cool fellow. “He probably is very cool just now.” “What do you mean?

I see; he has been beard of in the Desert of ara.

The Result of the New York Confer- ence Received Favorably By the Strikers. 8 The Wabash Diffloulty ina Fair Way to Settlement—Wabash Committee Adjourns— The Conference Next Thursday — Comments Upon Tal- mage’s Position — The National Executive Board's Movements. Information from New York concerning yester- day’s conference between General Manager Tal- mage of the Wabash and the National Executive Committee of the Knights of Labor is of an encour- aging nature and puts at rest all fear of a general strike for the present. Mr. Talmage sent for the members of the Executive Board late in the after- noon. Messrs. Hays and Turner, the general secretary, responded and a meeting was held in the Western Ualou Telegraph Company's building. Talmage stated, in answer to the demand of the committee, made on Wednesday last, that the officials of the Wabash were unable yet to state how many men would be employed in the shops, and, being in ignorance, — besides, of the true situation, he desired to return to St. Louis for information before giving a a flual reply. By general consent of those present, next Thursday was set as the date of the next con- ference in St. Louis. retary Turner in discuss- ing the interview with Talmage said: “The inter- view was entirely satisfactory, and I think tnat the differences between the Kuights aod the r are practically settled.“ Mr. Teimage, in expianation of the origin of the being desirous of out- trouble, stated that the road the force, had ting down expenses without reducin suggested thai either Saturday or Friday of each week be a holiday, and that the pay of the men be docked „ for loss of one day’s time. Tue Knights, he aimed, refused to accept the change, and the trouble engendered by the difference of opinion brought on all of the subsequent trouble. The members of the National Board claim tuat Mr. Talmage's story is all news to them and characterize it as an effort on the part of the officials to ignore the real issues of the case and to slide out of the unpleasaut predicament in which their back-down has placed them with, some show of dignity. The members of tue National Board deiegated authority to Master Workman owderly and General Secre- tary Turner to complete the negotiations next Tnursday in St. Louis, and lett for tueir homes last nigut. LOCALLY, the members of the Knignts of Labor organization express satisfaction at tue outcome of the New York conference, and the look of anxiety which has marked the countenances of the members of the Wabash Executive Committee has given piace to one somewhat more akin t conteut. Tal- mage’s delay is considered a rather enncying aod unnecessary detail. According to their way o thinking there can be but one result to the pend- ing negotiations. and the dilly, dallying method of proceeding adopted by the officiais is condemned as foolish and ill-advised. It is regretted by the committeemen here that the National Board were unabie to produce evidence of their assertions that men ou the Wabash had been suspended and denied employment for tne sole reason that they were Knights of Labor, in answer to Tal 8 challenge to bring forward a particle of oral or written evidence to that effect. Being unprepared for such an attack, the Board was caught without the necessary proof and Talmage grasped the opportunity to put iu a plea of ignorance of matters at issue, and hence the delay until he had informed himself. Of the Wabasa Committee, which bas been located at the Hotel Brown for two weeks past, T. A. 1 chairman, departs for Decatur, I., to-night, to be absent two or three days, to confer with the mem- Lers of his division of the Knights of Labor upon matters relative to his future course; John Slater leaves for Ft. Wayne, Ind., and E. A. Schrieber for Springfield, III., upon similar missions. A. C. Cougniin of Moberly and Mr. McKeon of this city remain here t m the organization of new Knights of Labor Asseinbl.es here and in East St. Louis. The committee will meet here again in conference with tne Na- tlonal Executive Board on next Wednesday night or Thursday morning. Mr. A. C. Coughlin, speaking to a Post-DispatTou reporter this morning. said: Our committee is in ion of evidence sufficient to successfully contradict Talmage’s statements that Kuights of Labor were not suspended or refused reinstavement for the reason that they were members of the organ on. Now that we are assured of ac. .vrence and arbitration, this evidence shall be prepared aod furnished to the National Board. It is just possible that TALMAGE MAY HAVE BEEN MISINFORMED concerning tue action of his subordinates, but, even if be has, tnat doesn't alter the situation in the least. The demand of Master Workman Powderiy made in ast Wednesday's conference, that the Knights suspended on the lem of June last be reinstated, will be adhered to at the meeting next Thursday. We suall not ask that the ‘scabs’ em- ployed since that date bedischarged. That is a question for the officers of the road alone. If there is work enough for all of us, all rigut; if not—well, the road suspended tae Kuiguts m June and there is no reason why they shouid not appiy the same tactics to the ‘scabs’ in September. Talmage's statement that there is no troubie between ine Wabash and its employes I wisn to brand as whoily and entirely false. The locked-out Knights of Labor have ner been discharged. were merely suspended and the employ of the Wabash. days meeting Mr. Talmage’s agreement, if accepted vy tue Kuights, will have to ve accom- panied by pledges, approved by the United States Court, to make them binding. He nas broken faith so often beretofore that his mere word or promise is of absolutely no value whatever.” No steps are lixely to be taken by either side until after ‘i bursday’s conference.

Church, this city, when last beard from was at cerne, Swiizerland, searching for a suadowy footstep of the beautiful Lucile. e thinks Europe has ho sum- mer resorts like ours. and yearns to shake agaiu even the cold and dignified hand of an American hotel lerk, whose amount of general information is woiuliy wanting in the Euro office gods. He will san Sepiember 1, expecis to arrive home the loch, aud will preach in his own puipit Sunday, the 20tn—a gen- ume example of the pushing, don't-stop-for-any- thing American. Aco tional meeting of Westminster Pres- byterian Church was held Weduesday night at which action was taken upon Dr. Reaser’s resigna- tion from the torate. The vote was in tue proposition ot 5 to 1 against it and consequentiy the Doctor's decision will have to come odcfore the Presbytery for adjustment. Meanwhile Dr. Reaser will proceed with bis new work as professor in Westminster College, Fulton, whica he takes up Sepiember 1. There seems to be no doubt that the Presuytery will dissolve the pastorate tie at ids meeting three weeks Deuce. In a letter to the Southwestern Methodist this week, Rev. Wm. C. Stiles of tne Third Congrega- tional Church, takes exception to a statement tuat Henry Ward Beecher is an irresponsibie leader of an irresponsible congregation.’ Mr. Stiles asserts that Mr. Beecher is a member ot the New York State Association of Congregationalists and that he and his Church are in good standing vim Congre- gationalists. He also says he presented the resolu- uon which was unanimously adopted requesting Mr. Beecher to return after be bad withdrawn [rom tue New York and Brook iyn Association. gHe concludes by saying: “Methodist and Presbyterian papers have toid very little truth and a great many lies about Heury Ward Beecher.” Inasmuch as Mr. Jones’ revival at Centenary Church this city, is but two months in tue future, the foilow- ing remarks from Dr. Fry, in the current Central Curistian Advocate, Methodist organ, will be ap- preciated by the Southern Methodist brethren: ‘*We shall have no lac« of imitators of Sam Jones, and it is the duty of our pastors not to give him tue least encouragement. Persons write to us to get infor- mation about evangelists and iecturers of whom we have never heard. Tuey have vo church rela- tions, are without tne least autaority, and the only gift they is boldness aud conceit. Have nothing to do with these tramps.”’ The Gospel tent meetings at Twelfth and Market streets have not languished. Garrison says: “Piayed our? Well, I guess not. Tey will not cease tili Sunday, September 13. I got back from Jacksonville, III., Tuesday night and found Mr. Slaughter of the Y. a. C. A.—a-fine speaker, by the way -in possession of the platform.

Stepnens one of the best Gospel talkers in the city, wi speak at the tent on “The Tabernacle,“ in we ab- sence of Mr. Garrison, who will be at the Caron- delet Methodist Churca, The Gospel meetings at Twelfth and Market streets are likely to crystailize into a 2 er manent piace of worship located there. Oue of the workers points out the exceilent location, the eathusiagsm man- fested by these whom toe meetings were designed to reaca, and eral interest manifes in the movement. © says there can be no question that some permanent services are needed for that section of the city. It is quite definitely stated that some sort of a tabernacie will be buiit to per- petuate the good now being effected, and it is not unlikely, judging from the manner in whica it is talked of, that the idea will take a powerful hold and shape before long. of C.

FAMOUS, Leading Clothiers and Outfitters, BROADWAY AND MORGAN, — — — A FALSE REPORT. The Indians at the Cheyenne Agency Not On the War Path. Paar, DARk., August 28.—There was much ex- citement here yesterday owing to a report that the Indians at the Cheyenne Agency above Pierre were on the war-path and had threatened the agent. A messenger was dispatched to the agency and it was found that no trouble existed and the Indians were perfectly satisfied and happy. Major Swan, the agent. when told of the report, was surprised. The Cheyenne Agency is believed to be one of the best managed inthe country and the Indians are far above the average for intelligence. Their chief expressed himself as being well satisfied with the treatment accorded to his tribe. Had the Weight on Him. Dr. Engelbert Voerster, who is well known on ac- count of his May “scrapping” affairs, again distin- guished himself about 1 o'clock yesterday morn- ing in a slugging match which took place ina saloon. corner of Broadway and Marketi street. Voerster was discussing newspaper men in ral, and a young reporter, who is att to the Giobe-Democrat, took occasion to object to some of tne Doctor's foul and shameful epithets. Dr. Voerster attacked him and struck him a blow or two, but no great injury was inflicted. The re- porter weighs about 130 pounds, while Dr. Voerster, when he met Jack Nolan in a knock-out on Ove street some weeks ago, entered the ring at about 198 pounds 6 ounces. : WOMEN Necding renewed strength, or who suffer from intrmities peculiar te their sex, should try 2 BEST TONIC combines Iron with pure valu This medicine able for tonics, and is in ches the Appetite, bs Nerves—in fact, thoroug © — . — mark and pper.

Du. J. Braprretp: Dear Sir—Some fifteen years ago I examined the recipe of Female Regulator, and carefully studied authorities in regard to its compo- nents, and then (as well as now) pronounced it to be he most scientific and skillful combination of the really reliable remedial vegetable agents known to science, to act directly on the womb and uterine or- gans, and the organs and parts sympathizing di- rectly with these; and, therefore, providing a epe- cific remedy for all diseases of the womb, and of the adjacent organsand parts.
