Wherever Almon Bonaparte Thomson may be to-day, over the border in Canada with the grand army of defaulted cashiers or meditat- ing on hisown downfall within the jurisdic tion of the United States Courts, his ears must be tingling if there is anything in the theory that evil spoken of us behind our backs can affect the circulation of blood in our aural appendages. And evil is said of him plentifully. It is astonishing to at- tempt an enumeration of the I-told-you-sos and the stories that are told in connection Yesterday afternoon the prophet confined him- selfto reminding friends that he had known the bank would burst; to-day he re- members that he knew Thomson would steal. The prophet is a progressive matvidual. and as he affects to see the future through a microscope clearly, so he can translate the certainties of the present into the belief ofthe past. There is, however, enongh to be said in condemnation of the missing cashier without any recourse being had to imagination. HE IS GONE, and so are the bank funds. He will not re- turn, but the loss to the bank may be. made good. The bank, however, is practically out of existence. There is little probability that it will ever reopen its doors for business. There is less probability that Almon B. Thomson will ever be seen on the streets of St. Louis. For three years, while he was respected and trusted im- plicitly, he was engaged in defrauding the bank. AS FAR BACK AS 1883, the books of the bank now show he made a talse entry in the foreign exchange account, which he has sedulously covered, and which allowed him to abstract $20,000 of the bank’s funds without discovery being made. Since then he i has followed that peculation with others,until now it is believed that he secured at least $70,000. A thorough and careful investigation of the bank’s books is being made now, and it is feared by the directors that greater thefts may be discovered; but they have determined that now the whole truth must be known. The employes of the bank are assisting expert ac- countants and it will be two or three days. before the full amount of the defalcation and the exact condition of the bank can be known. Olerks are preparing for the receiver a list of the de- positors, but owing to the fact that most of them are credited with but small amounts and the total of time deposits is $426,649.17, the list will be very lengthy and consume time in its compilation. AS FAR AS IS NOW KNOWN the peculations of Thomson include $20,000 pbstracted in 1883 on the false entry in the for- eign exchange account, $8,500 borrowed on a forged certificate of stock, $15,000 abstracted in cash on Saturday night last, and $25,000 borrowed on shares of stock in various companies, most of which are worthiess. How much further he is into the bank cannot now de said. It was that FORGED CERTIFICATE OF STOCK that precipitated his flight andthe last steal. Some months ago he said to President Swain: „1 must raise $8,500, and I have 100 shares of Crystal Plate Glass Company's stock which I can give you as collaterel for a loan.’’ Mr. Swain agreed to take the stock, and giving Thomson the money locked the certificate up with the bank’s securities. On July 8 Mr. Thomson was away from the bank for the day, and Mr. Swain, who had not been in the habit of spending all his time at the bank, being employed by Crow, Hargadine & Co., undertook those of his duties as President as had previously been dele- gated to Cashier Thomson. He opened the morning mail, and among the letters found one addressed to Mr. Thomson, but as it looked official Mr. Swain thought It was bank business and opened it. THE LETTER was from the Crystal Plate Glass Company and was a notification of a dividend on one share of stock owned by Almon B. Thomson, the amount of the dividend, %, being enclosed. Mr. Swain considered the letter véry seriously and turned the cash over several times to see if $396 was not hidéen under it somewhere. He r Ne. that in the safe there was a certificate stock in that company, ; to be 100 shares, 2 by Thomson, and yet the notifi- - with the recollections of these prophecies. ‘ had suspected the cashier in a mild way of not being up to his profes- sions, but had never thonght he was a forger or an embezzier. As soon as his business permitted Mr. Swain went tosee Carlos 8. Greeley, one of the largest stockholders in the bank and one of Mr. Thomson’s bondsmen. He showed the notification and amount of dividend received. WHAT DID IT MEAN? he asked. Mr. Greeley was dumbfounded. He had never had the slightest occasion to sus- pect Mr. Thomson, and hadas much confi- dence in the cashier’s integrity as in any man liymg. But there was certalnly something queer about the stock. I know all about Crystal Plate Glass Com- pany stock, said he; ‘‘I am a director in that company and I know that Mr. Thomson does not own 100 shares there. There is something wrong. You must look into it.’’ The next day Mr. Thomson was at the bank and was asked by Mr. Swain about the stock. He said his holding was really only one share, but ninety-nine shares of the 100 represented by the certificate were owned by Ohas. E. Barnes, F. A. Drew and Superintendent Neale of the Plate-Glass Com- pany. The explanation was not satisfactory to either President Swain or Mr. Greeley, and it was determined to call a meeting of the Board of Directors. The meeting was called Saturday last and Mr. Thompson appeared before it. He was asked about the stock and told the same story he had told Mr. Swain. He told it in such an easy manner and so plausibly that THE DIRBCTORS WERE QUITE DECEIVED. It was known that Mr. Thomson had been con- nected with Messrs. Barnes and Drew in the French Silvering and Ornamental Glass Com- pany, and that loaned color to his statement of their partnership in the stock certificate. Mr. Swain was not wholly deceived, however, and questioned Thomson closely. He asked if Barnes, Drew and Neale had not had cer tifices issued to them. Mr. Thomson did not know. If they had cer: tificates how did the hypothecated certificate show 100 shares while Mr. Thom- son only owned one? Mr. Thomson did not know. Mr. Swain could not understand how business men such as Barnes and Drew would leave their stock certificates in the hands of a third party, nor by what rule of business that third party could hypothecate such shares for his own benefit. The trans- q action looked irregular, if not abso- lutely dishonest. The answers of Mr. Thomson increased the suspicion with which Mr. Swain regarded his action, and that sus- pision was communicated to the Board, with an expression of the President's opiniép that unless some action was taken MR. THOMSON MIGHT DISAPPEAR. This was not weighed seriously, as Mr. Thomson had offered to substitute other collateral for the loan, or repay it if the Board so desired. He would make this re- payment on Monday morning, and the matter was allowed to go over until that time, with the understanding that he would then make good the loan in cash. On Monday morning he did not appear at the bank nor could any information be obtained concerning his whereabouts. He had gone to Sweet Springs to the militia encampment, his wife said. Telegrams to Sweet Springs were replied to with the information that Thomson was not there and had not been there. His wife was again appealed to, but could give no further information concerning him. She was led to believe that urgent bank business required his attention, and no hintof the sus- picions aroused by his absence was given. Telegrams were sent to several places where it was thought he might be, but no informa- tion could be obtained. HE HAD CLEARLY ABSCONDED. This was kept a profound secret; not even the employes of the bank were allowed to know anything of the matter. A quiet investi- gation of the books was instituted and the false entry in the foreign exchange account was developed. Mr. Greeley had the certificate of stock in the Orystal Plate Glass Company brought out of the safe and examined. With the aid of a microscope it was discovered that the certifi- cate had been altered, the ‘‘one’’ being altered to ‘‘one hundred’’ after the first had been raised with chemicals. The certificate bore the number 3878. This morning a reporter of the Post- DISPATCH saw MR. CHAS. K. BARNES, Treasurer of the Crystal Plate Glass Company. He showed on the stock book of, the company that the certificate 378 was. issued for one share. He had not heard that there had really been any alteration of the vertificate, but was of the opinion that an alteration was not nec- essary; that Mr. Swain had so trusted Mr. Thomsonthat he had not looked at the certificate at all when it was offered as col- lateral. He remembered the purchase of one share by Thomson and said: ‘‘I thought he was getting it so that his name might appear on the books and in time he might become a director of the company. You know he was quite a public man, was in dozens of things, and had theories on everything. That was his peculiarity. He had a case in the dank to which any director could go and place his hand directly upon any receipt given the bank since its in- stitution, and lots of little checks on business of that kind. He talked about these theories in such a way that he impressed every one with whom he came in contact. He had new ideas about the details of banking, and really his schemes were very good. He impressed me as a keen, careful business man, withal somewhat too talkative.’’ „Did he have any checks on dishonest em- ployes in the bank?’’ „ believe he did, but I heard littie about such matters. I met him most in his connec- tion with the FRENCH SILVERING AND ORNAMENTAL GLASS COMPANY. He owned $3,000 stock there and was a di- rector until, I think, a year ago, when he sent word that the bank dl- rectory objected to his too numerous outside connections and he would. have to lop off some. The business of that glass company was somewhat new, and he was quite valuable to us in his knowledge of art and connection with artists. We put a great deal of stained glass into residences through him. But on account ot his knowledge ot art as an amateur he used to pass opiaions on color combina- tions and forms with all the air of an expert. That was his way; he knew everything about everything and always had an opinion. It was amusing sometimes to hear him. But tor all that I never heard any- thing really bad about bim until this. I have heard a great deal of good. He helped nearly every. artist intown by advances on pictures, commissions, aud direct contriba- tions to theig support while they were stady- ing abroad. He loaned his own money and the bank’s money, too, I have heard, on piet- ures. The papers say he was & gay Wan about town.

There was that John |— Burns Publishing Company mat- ter, the Raymond Gregg case the H. B.

Mr. Barnes of that firmismy brother and I my- self lost about $8,000 in the failure on indorsements. The way the bank lost 80 much in that case was they loaned Barnes & Wiederholt money, and then when the firm got in difficulties Thomson thought it was better to carry them awhile in- stead of breaking them. If the dank refused to make further advances some other creditor might step in and close up theconcérn. They carried the firm along by loaning money on stock, and fin- ally on accounts, until the smash came. There was some bad management in that. I don’t think a bank ought to advance money on accounts. Then Barnes & Wiederholt had but little capital?“ ‘*Practically they had sufficient, though actually the capital was very small. Indorsements by myself and other members of my family might be counted as capital, and those indorsements were very extensive.

All money deposited since the time the discovery of the shortage was made on Saturday can be recovered by civil suit, and not only can it be recovered, but the bank officials, as stated, can all be criminally prosecuted for permitting the deposits to be made. The law is very clear on the subject, the statute covering it reading as follows: „Sec. 1350. Bank officer receiving deposits— when a felony.—If any president, director, manager, cashier, or other officer of any banking institution doing business in this State shall receive or assent to the reception of any money deposit or other valuable thing in such bank or banking institution, or if any such officer or agent shall create er assent to the creation of any debts or indebtedness by such bank or banking institution, in consider- ation or by reason of which indebtedness any money or valuable property shall be received into such bank or bankin institution, after he shall have ha knowledge of the fact that it is insolvent or in failing cir- cumstances he shall be deemed guilty of lar- ceny and, upon conviction thereof, shall be punished in the mannerand to the saine ex- tent as is provided by law for stealing the same amount of money deposited or valuable thing; provided, that the failure of any such bunk or banking institution shall be prima facie evidence of knowledge on the part of any such officer or person that the same was in- solvent or in failing circumstances when the money or property was received on deposit.’’ THE FOREMANSHIP. Itis claimed that the present Grand-jury cannot take upthe Provident Bank failure because Ewing M. Sloan, its President, is one of the depositors who loses money oy. the failure of the institution. The law states that any man who is in the panel ofa Grand-jury may be chal- lenged if he is apt to be a prosecujor or wit- ness in any case liable to come up before the body for investigation. In the present case no challenge was or could. be made to Mr. Sloan, as when the Graud-jury was selected from the panel sum- moned the bank had not failed and it was not known that this case was apt to be brourht beforethem. This makes Mr. Sloan competent to sit as a juror, but Mr. Harvey and other attorneys versed in criminal law hold that he cannot sit as foreman of the jury. The Court has the nght to change foremen at any time, how- ever, and all that is necessary to have the pres- ent Grand-jury investigate the matter is to make another r Mr. Sloan could then sit as one of the juro ts, This will probably be done if the Grand-jury feel dis posed to investigate the matter. 1 until the books and accounts have been thor- oughly overhauled.’’ — AN INTERVENING PETITION. Deposits Made This Week Will Probably Have to Be Returned. Judge Lubke did not putin an appearance at his chambers in the Court-house this moru- ing. There will be no session of court until Saturday next, when Judge Dillon will sit in Court No. 2. It was expected that the receiver would obtain some order of court to-day with reference to the deposits made atthe bank within the past few days. The statutes provide a penalty in the case of directors and officers of a bank who receive deposits with a knowledge at the time of the bank’s failing con- dition. Shortly before noon the following intervening petition was filed in court relative to a recent deposit: In the Matter . Sega Receivership of the Provident Savings Bank. Now comes the petitioner, Rufus J. Delano, and states that on the l4th of July, 1886, this court appointed William H. Thomp- son as the Receiver of the Provident Savings Bank. Said bank did a general bank- ing business, receiving deposits of money from depositors. On the 10th day of July, Saturday last, the directors, officers, and managers of the bank, whose names are fully set forth in the petition for the appointment I do you, having done business for five em and am not mistaken in what I say. I was at the Union Depot Sunday morning waiting for a friend to arrive when I met Mr. Thomson coming from the direction of: the trains. Our eyes met and we saluted. As I ap roached he held out his hand andigrasped it with a ‘How are you?’ He replied by saying: ‘I’ve been off on a little vacation,’ and passed on ea@twardly in the direction of Eleventh street and turned in the city. Did you note his attire?““ „„es. He wore a seersucker coat and vest and a pair of light pants and low straw hat.’’ ‘*‘Was he carrying any baggage?’’ No, sir. He was empty-banded.’’ „How did he look?“ „Well, I have always noted a fresh appear- ance about Mr. Thomson until Sunday, when I was struck with his haggard appearance. He appeared as if he had been up all night and Was tired. His face was clean, side shaved, and he wore a mustache and imperial.’’ John Guerney, a young lawyer with Chester Krum, is said to be a heavy loser. Ed Beach, a book-keeper, had a few thou- sand dollars in the bank, his savings for some years. The failure breaks him up. Henry McNichol, the furniture dealer, suf- fers to the amount of $1,500. Dr. Ohmann Dumesnil had just drawn out his account and was about to deposit $300 when he heard the news of the failure, and luckily escaped its loss Just to what extent the loss among the teachers in the public schools exists it is im- ossible to say, but the teachers must e out several thousands, accord- ng to reliable account. Assistant Librarian Spamer of the Public School Library says that Thompson told him that at least three-quarters of the entire corps of lady teachers were depositors inthe bank at one time and another. This would make in numbers, about seven hundred of the teachers who have been placing their salaries inthe bank during the past seven years. Numbers of the women of the demi-monde are reported to be more or less losing. Among them Annie Norton of 108 North Tenth street says she is 52,043 out. Marion Elwood one of Norton’s boarders bad $60 and loses that much. Nellie David has a bank book showing her loss to be $430 and Emma Anderson quits loser by $135. There are many other losers to various extents. v ontcace, July , Says He Saw Him Monday. Charlies T. Clark of the office of the Com- missioner of Supplies at the City Hall states that he saw the defaulting cashier early on Monday morning standing at the new depot of the Narrow Gauge and Cable Road. He had the impression that Thomson was waiting for a train to go out West and did not observe anything particular about his appearance, certuinly nothing to in- dicate that he was about to abscond. — — CITY PERSONALS. ’ A Card. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch: Please insert this note to correct an impres- sion made in last evening’s Post-DISPATCH in regard to the Standard School Book Company. It is true Mr. Thomson was a stockholder in said company, also in the American School Book Company. But no relation exists or ever did exist between the two companies. Mr, Thompson has not injured or prejudiced the prospects of the Standard School Book Company, or taken any of its funds. The Standard School Book Com- pany has no interest direet or indirect in the American School Book Company. The Standard School Book Company does not carry or pub lish any of the books of the other company, nor will it ever do so. J. N. PATRICK. The Conclave Fund. Mr. J. H. Krippen, Treasurer of the Ma- sonic Triennial Conclave Fund, states that he had between $2,000 and $3,000 belonging to the fund deposited in the bank. Some time ago Mr. D.J. Blanke suggested that it would be well to divide the deposits of the fund up between different banks and Mr. Krippen, acting on his advice, placed some of the money inthe State Savings Bank. The Provident Bank had been selected by .the committee as their banking institution, but Mr. Krippen on his own responsibilty placed some of the money in the State Savings Bank. Fortunately the committee had not started to collect the subscriptions for the conclave, or their loss would have been very heavy. .

ALMON THOMSON, father ofthe defaulting cashier was seen at the St. James Hotel this morning. He is over 70 years of age and has always seemed to bea hale, hearty man, who would live to be 100. He has broken considerably since the defalea- tion of his son became known, and did not wish to discuss the matter with the reporter this morning. He has been always extremely methodical in his habits but though one of his habits has been early rising, he was not up this morning until after 9 o’clock. The lines of his face were deepened and he moved with a weak, faltering step. „1 do not know where my son is, he said. ‘‘IwishI did. I have not heard a word from him, directly orindirectly, since he left. This is all a terrible blow. it comes on me like a thunderbolt, I tell you there wasn’t aman in St. Louis that stood higher than he before this occurred. I don’t know what will be done. I don’t want to talk about it. I have nothiag to say. Go see the bank people; they can tell you everything. My boy had every- thing before him.

Thomson Prostrated with Grief—The Artistic Furnishing of the House. Mr. Thomson’s residence at 3002 Chestnut street isa three-story stone-front. The win- dows and doors are fitted with wire screens and inside blinds. Atthe topmost window to the left which commands a view of Garrison avenue wel over Pine and to one side of Olive street, the figure of a woman has been stand- ing most of the day watching the street cars as they passed west on Olive. When a passenger would alight from the cars and come south toward the house, the figure would retreat a bit from the window and con- tinue its vigil more cautiously through the half-closed blinds. Who was expected? What hope or fear impelled the lonely woman in her long look- out? When the POs8T-DISPATCH reporter went toward the house, the figure again retreated from its post, and the angle of the blinds constantly changed wit his approach until they pointed directly down- ward to the little dooryard in the front and were abandoned with a flutter as the bell rang through the quiet house and announced the personal nature of his movements. What do you want?“ said ayoung lady about 19 years of age who looked through the wire screen at the front door. now- ing that an application to see a member of the family for the purpose of an interview would be refused, the reporter asked for the deputy sheriff in charge of the house under the attachment levied by Mrs. Cornelia W. Sandbora 88 afternoon. The young lady lett the door and the deputy appeared and invited the reporter in. A broad hall with a staircase leading to the second-story was divided just behind the staircase by a heuvy portiere which was _ half drawn back and gave a glimpse of the dining- room. On the handsome hat-rack wera three hats of different variety which were recogniz- able asthose worn by the missing financier. One was a grey plug, another was silk and the third was a closely wove yellow straw that is familiar to the patrons of the bank. Heavy curtains on poles and rings were over the par- lor doors and between the parlor and the library. The furniture of the two rooms is plush. The pictures are few, but very good, and some have 4 tidy value. A water color by Simonetti is a figure ot a Cardinal. A land- scape by Ciceri, donein oil, is perhaps worth $300.

The chanees are that the Directors will make restitution for all deposits received after the discovery of the bank’s condition, but it can be seen how they have left themselves open to fATiminal prosecution, the punishment in cases of this character being from two to five years in the Penitentiary. Thomson's offense is embezziement, which, when the amount taken foots up $80 or over, is punishable by imprisonment in the Peniten- tiary from two to five years. If it can be shown that he took the money on different dates, separate counts can be made against him and he can be tried on each count, being liable to imprisonment in the Penitentiary for from two to five years on each count. If he raised the certificate of stock, as claimed, from 1 to 100 shares, he was guilty of forgery in the third degree, the pun- ishment for which is imprisonment in the Pen- itentiary for from two to seven years. If he made any false entries in his books he can also be prosecuted for forgery. — HE WILL BE HUNTED.

It has been suggested that Almon Thomson, the father of the defaulting cashier, would make up the amount of the defalcation, but there is no evidence at all that he will do so, or is even contemplating such a step. On Monday when the fact that the cashier had embezzied the funds of the bank and had raised a certificate of stock in the Crystal Plate Glass Company was known, Acting President Swain and Mr. Carlos 8. Greeley went to the elder Thomson and acquainted him with the fact that his son had embezzled the funds of the bank. They asked him whether he would make good the deficiency. Mr. Thomson hesitated for awhile, and then said that he would think the matter over and would consult with his lawyers about it. On the same day Mr. Thomson drew out by check the sum of $16,000, all he had in account with the bank, and thus saved himself from any 1088 by failure of the institution through the theft of his son.

The list ot losers by the failure of the bank is swelling to large proportions. The character ot the bank's business drew num bers of small depositors for the convenience and profit offered to deposit. It is estimated thatthe total number can not be less than 10, 000. The entire list known, so far, is as follows: Mrs. John W. Norton is said to have consid- erable money in the bank when the shortage was discovered. Mr. Pat Short, the theatrical manager, was also nipped for $250. Charles H. Longstreth of C. H. Longstreth & Co. ot 612 Olive street had his individual ac- count in the bank.

Some of the Financial Institutions Which Have Gone Under. The failure of the Provident Savings Asso- ciation isthe firstripple of excitement which St. Louis has expeMenced in bank ing business for many a Fear. The Broadway Savings’ Bank, occasioned by the Krieger defalcation, was the last bank failure here; but the last big failure recorded wasthat of the Butchers and Drovers’ Bank, which occured nearly ten yeard ago. Prior to these two there was a lapse of about three yéars, the earliest part of which saw the great money panic of 1873, when a whole string of banking institutions wentoutof existence. At that time there were very nearly eighty banks in the city. The immediate cause of the break-up was the failure of Jay Cook & Co. Cook was carrying the Northern Pacific Rail- road, which was called the Great Banana Belt, so luxurious was its surroundings supposed to be. At the time he failed the finances of the country werel In a very extended condition and the break-up overswept its whole extent. Among the banks in St. Louis forced to close their doors in 1873 and afterwards, were the North St. Louis, the Centra Savings, the First National, the Second National, the State National and several other less important houses. All of these suspended the payment of spe- cies and certificates were issued by trustees which passed current between thom. The Exchange Bank, which after- wards quit because it had grown weary of the business, was the only one to hold and paidin gold. Since the big flurry of 1878, no bank difficulties have ruffied the smooth cur- rent of the money market in St. Louis. RECENT BANK TRANSACTIONS, The most recent transactions in bank bust ness occurring within the past few years are the sale of the Lucas bank to the Mechanics’, the absorption of the Manufactur- er's Bank by the Valley National, and the sale of the latter to the Laclede Bank, formerly the firm of Bartholow, Lewis & Co. STOCKS. yajuaedg A Dividend Will Probably Be Declared— The Keal Estate. A POST-DISPATCH reporter found Receiver Thompson in consultation with his attorney, ex- Judge Elmer B. Adams, at the latter’s office, this morning. The receiver said: „Tou have my authority for advis- ing all depositors, through the columns of your paper, not to sacrifice their claims. There is no need ofit. We will cheerfully furnish allinformation for the bene- fit of the creditors of the bank as soon as we can reach the facts. Nothing shall be with- held. There will be as little delay as possible in ascertaining the actual condition of affairs atthe bank. The depositors should not dis- pose of their claims.’’ Judge Adams said: Tou can safely assert that the deposits made yesterday since the knowledge of the cashier’s defalcation reached the stockholders and directors, will be restored. The deposits are all tagged and remain intact. I cannot speak positively as to the day when the bank’s condition became known to the stockholders and direc- tors but I do know that yesterday’s deposits have not been disturbed and will certainly be restored. Itismy intention to prepare an order to present in the receiver’s behalf to the courtwhich shall cover all cases of recent deposits. As to the purpose of the receiver I will say to you for the public infor- mation, with his authority, that we shall go to work with the view of making as speedy a disposition of the assets as possible. Per- sistent efforts will be made to realize upon the assets as rap- idly as such work can be accomplished, with the view of declaring a dividend by the first week in October, when the courts reopen. We can state that the first dividend will be of a consoling character, a substantial amount. There is a large list of bills receivable, and colleo- tiong will be rapidly made. As to subsequent dividends they will come along as soon as the real estate and stocks can be turned into money. In the liquidation of this bank’s affairs it is proposed to realize promptly on the realestate. The creditors would prefer to have the use of their money than to have property tied up in the hands of areceiver awaiting a chance for the real es- ‘tate market to advance a few points. There will be no delay on the ground of getting a bette, price for real the estate. As to the defal- cation, it willexceed the amougit set forth’) in Mr. Greeley’s petition 840, 00, but from what information we possess at thé present moment it will not largely exceed that Amount.

CHICAGO, July 15.—Wheat opened at 78%c, both on the curb and the board, and the weather being fine everybody looked for lower prices, and we got it. Cables were called dull, with 3 pence lower on California. The boys jumped in to make a clear profit ofacent or more on all the puts they had bought, and instead of buy- ing against them, they sold more and had their game well under way when Ream spoiled the whole — by their wheat. At 800 or September there seemed to be unlimited orders taking all buy, and although a few fives to ug sold at that figure the bulk of the orders were unfilled. The news of damagein the North- west continues to come, but is looked upon as a chestnut, and has ver little effect, except with afew. Mr. Roac believes it all and says it-will be worse than has been reported. In conversa- tion with him he will fairly hair stand and me to Corn hasruled very strongin spite of the weakness in wheat and has advanced from 39880 to 40c for September. Nat Jones has been conspicuous in the corn pit the last two or three days, selling of course, and St. Louis has sold some, but the dry weather holds the market. Wheat sold at 79%c, closing at 79%c, with a better export demand, more damage from the northwest and Kent, Driver, Crittenden & Co. taking all the wheat that is offered. Corn closed at 39%c for September. Closing Prices—1 P. M. Reparted daily by S. W.

FORENOON SESSION, CLOSING 1 P. M. The stock of wheat in this market got over the million buskel mark this morning, and the stock of No. 2 red will pass that figure before the week closes, at the present rate of in- crease. The latest mail advicesfromthe con- tinent of Europe in regard to the crops report that much better weather had prevailed in France, 3 to the benefit ot the growing crops, the cold, way to warm sunshine, but it is still thought that the wheat harvest cannot come up fo that of last yeareven with a continuance of the present favorable weather. In Belgium the weather has been fine, warm and favorable for the 8 me" ot the rainy weather recent! complaine 0 damage. In Germany, after some amount o cold rain, the weather has become genial an in every iespect favorable for the grow crops, which are everywhere well spoken of. The rye harvest in Aus -Hungary is at hand. Some considerable complaint is made of rust. The prospect tor wheat is fairly satisfactory, although rust is spreading owning to the re- cent wet weather. In Roumania, after a spell of wet weather, fine weather set in, and the reports of the crops were favorable. In Russia the character of wheat crop varies according to districts, but is generally below an av - Advices from the south of Russia states hopes of a good harvest were in h rainy weather ha given not having one muc creasing, the weather but in Kief and other neighboring favorable districts the Azim wheat had suffered . ble damage from drought. The late hot spel in the United Kingdom is said to have been of immense service to the wing wheat crops, and, 9 the pros- of the Continent is estimated to smaller than that of last year. An approx- imate estimate of the crop of our surplus . ducing States is about 17,500,000 bu for 2 nst 16,500,000 bu in 1885, and 24,000,000 bu in The quality of the present crop is the 1884. best for three years past.

Their pane of the Collier elevator has given hem direct and quick connection with the Pacific and the Wabash roads, as also, through the Briage and Tunnel Company, with all East side roads.

Winter wheat good here. Spring wheat, quality good, but yield will be rather light.“ heat—The bull campaign appeared to have come to a halt this morning, with poe ! an attempt being made to work up some bear sentiment so that a line of shorts can be put out, thus furnishing the bulis with sufficient ammunition to once more advance upon the enemy’s works. The stand- offishness of Europe serves as an almost un- answerable bear argument, they, on the other side the big pond, showing little disposition to take our wheat at present prices and their cables coming in every day the same oft told tale of dull markets. But the greatest bear influence is the way wheat is moving to market in this country. Receipts were again large to-day, and 80 far this week amount to 2,660,000 bu, while the shipments were 1,100,000 bu. This means another in- crease inthe next visible. This was nothing new from the spring wheat crop and the weather in the Southwest. The damage so far 8 an unknown quantity, but will make itself felt ere many moons roll by. Chi- cago looked so depressed and sent so many bear messages here that finally the St. Louis crowd made up its mind the time had come to sell, and they did sell. The report of rain along the Northern Pacific encouraged them in this belief, and they hammered away until the market was lac below yesterday’s close. They got the usual whip-saw, however, for greatly to their chagrin Chicago commenced to climb up and advanced rapidly. The loca market soon swung into line and by the close was liec above the lowest rate. July sold at Tic to 76%c and at close was worth TTtze, as was year: August at 78%c at opening off to Tuc and up to 79¢, closing at 78 de bid; September at 80%c down to 79%c and up to 8ic, closing at 80%c bid; October at 82%c to 8153@%c and back to #82%c.

Corn—Cooler and cloudy weather was the report from Kansas and Nebraska this morn- ing and the effect of that and a lower wheat market was to ease prices off. Butfew could be found who would sell and all the offerings were snapped up so that the market gradually recovered. Quite a number of buying orders were here from the ‘‘burnt district,’’ of the West, and advices from the crop were generall so bad as to keep alive the bullish feeling here. The highest prices were not maintained, but the close was lee above yesterday’s. Augpst sold at 35%c to 35¥4ec and September at 36%c to Sie latter closing at he asked.

Subsequently it rallied, and late 28c was bid for September, with Wc asked, and August, which early was offered at Tuc, was salable at 274ec. Very little cash was offered for sale and the few cars grade there were sold readily at firm prices. No.2 338%cin U., e in M.; No. 8, 31%c in M., 320 in U. Rye was dull and weak, sellers still holding No. 2 for 55c, but finding no buyers above 330.

It is a restraining order issued by a Democratic President to pre- vent Democratic office-holders from un- duly exercising the influence of their po- sitions in the fall elections. This is the antithesis of the campaign assessment cireular which flourished so marvelously in the brave days of the recent past. nm | * — MISSOURI laws making bank officers penally liable for receiving deposits when they know the bank to be insolvent or in . failing circumstances are so loosely drawn that criminals escape like eels from a sal- monnet. There is always room for some juryman to entertain a doubt of the offi- cer’s guilty knowledge of the circum- stances, and it is almost impossible to prove the act of malfeasance which the Supreme Court has held necessary to con- viction. een nn A STREET-CaR driver who applies to a Delegate for a position in the Fire Depart- ment and at the same time loans the * statesman the sum of one hundred dollars should have his story carefully prepared before telling it under oath. It would be only the irony of fate if the office-selling statesman should escape while the poor devil who merely sought to purchase in- fluence should find himself whip-sawed between charges of bribery and perjury. THE convicts who refused to work any longer in Senator Jos Brown’s Dade county mines have been starved into sub- mission by the Governor of Georgia, and another triumph has been scored for the Christian civilization and Democracy of ‘that State.

MYSTERIOUS. Several features of the failure of the Provident Savings Bank are mysteries. Why did the directors who allowed their names to.be used as evidences of the bank’s soundness fail to protect their guarantee? How does it happen that the discovery of a forgery involving $10,000 and other losses not exceeding $40,000, which are partly covered by a good bond of $30,000, compel the suspension of a bank with over a million dollars of assets? Why is a bank cashier, who has on Sat- urday been detected in a forgery, allowed to take possession of the vault Saturday night and scoop the cash? How was it that the directors did not discover until Saturday, and then purely by accident, what they should have known months ago? N It is a sad business. Since the failure of the Central Savings Bank no one piece of rascality has caused such wide-spread loss and suffering among the poor and helpless. The responsibility cannot be evaded, and though we hesitate to ex- press a judgment before all the faets are known, the failure at present seems to be as criminal as any in the history of bank- ing. “THE influence of Federal office-holders should not be felt in the manipulation of political primary meetings and nomi- ‘‘nating conventions,’’ says President CLEVELAND in the proclamation just is- sued for the government of the aforesaid office-holders. ‘*They have no right,“ he says, as office-holders to dictate the po- **litical action of their party associates ‘for to throttle freedom of action within „party lines by methods and practices ‘*which pervert every useful and justifi- ‘fable purpose of party organization.“ When the prize henchmen read this they will wink at each other and ask: “What are we here for?’’ — —hnwẽ— ̃ ͤz-— —ͤ; OvuR laws put the bribe-giver and the bribe-taker in the same boat, and neither of them can be forced to tell on the other. Other rules of evidence, provided espe- cially for the benefit of lawyers, forbid any court to pry into communications between attorney and client. And so it comes to pass that attorneys for Mr. GOULD, or for any other great buyer of legislative bodies and officials, can transact that sort of business in perfect safety so long as the buyer and the bought choose to keep their own counsel and decline to perpe- trate and explain their crimes in the presence of third parties. — — — THE Maxwell case is approaching a more knotty stage.

A Warning to Office-Holders. EXECUTIVE MANSION, WASHINGTON, D. C., July 14, 1886. To the Heads of Departments in the Service of the General Government: I deem this a proper time to especially warn all subordinates inthe several departments, and all office-holders under the General Government, against the use of their official positions in attempts to control political movements in their localities. Office-holders are the agents of the peeple, not their mas- ters. Not only is their time end labor due to the Government, but they should scrupulously avoid in their political action, as well as in the- discharge of their official duties, offending by a display of obtrusive partisanship their neighbors who have relations with them as public officials. They should also constantly remember that their party friends from whom they have received preferment have not in- vested them with the power of arbitrarily managing the political affairs. They have no right as office-holders to dictate the. political action of their party aseociates, or to throttle freedom of action within party lines by meth- ods and practices which pervert every useful and justifiable purpose of party organization. The influence of Federal office-holders should not be felt in the manipulation of political primary meetings and nominating conven- tions. The use by these officials of their posi- tions to compass their selection as dele- gates to political conventions is inde- cent and unfair, and proper regard for the proprieties and requirements of official place will also prevent their assum- ing the active conduct of political campaigns. Individual activity and interest in political affairs are by no mean’ condemned. Office- holders are neither disfranchised nor forbid- den the exercise of political privileges, but their privileges are not enlarged nor their duty to party increased to pernicious activity by omee- holding. A just discrimination in this regard between the things a citizen may properly do and the purposes for which a pub- . sun of * I ae lic office should not be used is easy, in the light of a correct the re * . tee Sag a © Bee Moe «ite tea PP ts a official place; and a consideration of the ne- cessity under our form of government of po- litical action free from official coercion. You are requested to communicate the substance of these views to those for whose guidance they are intended. GROVER CLEVELAND. 3 The Sentiments of ‘Honest Labor. From the New York Boycotter (Labor Organ). real justice may be questionable—that ‘‘ignorance of the law excuses no one;“ at the same time it is within our province to criticise a Jeffries ora Dogberry. We do not, nor can we, justify blackmail or the extortion of money, but when we say that the sentence imposed by Barrett, J., was unnecessarily severe (on the Theiss boycotters), we but voice the sentiment ot every honest man and woman in this country. It appears that at a meeting in Cooper Union —fojlowing on the heels of the idiocy of the evening before—a chap named Shevitch made a violent harangue and criticised the customs of our people, declaring that he imagined him- self in St. Petersburg. If he will please to take himself baek to Russia, or anywhere from here, he will very much oblige all decent people on this side. There is no room here for such excresences. We want genuine men in this country, who believe in our Constitu- tion and laws, and we want no others, whether they be ‘‘counterfeit Irishmen,’’ Russians, or anybody else. He Knew Gould’s Way. From the Cincinnati Enquirer. When Senator Conkling closed his great speech to the jury which has just taxed Jay Gould $250,000 for the little pleasantry of cut- ting down the wires of a rival telegraph com- pany, he said: I wish to say, right here, to the members of this jury that if they have not been personally approached by the Western Union Company or its legal satellites, they should take it as the highest possible tribute to their personal character. THE METROPOLITAN PRESS. What the Editors of the New York Journals Are Saying This Morning. By Telegraph to the POsT-DISPATCRH. NEW YORK; July 15.—The WORLD says: President Cleveland has issued a proclama- tion warning all government employes to keep out of politics. How about the Postmasters who edit partisan Democratic newspapers, and who whoop for the administration at all hours of the day and night?’’ THE SUN. The Sun says: ‘‘If Mr. Cleveland would show the same intelligence in dealing with the ques- tions of the nation that he does when he gets bold of a private 1 bill, what a great Fresident he would be. THE TIMES. The Times says of Cleveland’s letter: We have called the order extraordinary. It is not so because it relates to unusual age quite the contrary—but because it declares principles absolutely opposed to practices that have prevailed tor fully a century. This order comes at a time, moreover, when the men who profit by the practices forbidden have been predicting that the President, in secret, 1 of them and would shortly show that he did. These men, as well as the Partisan opponents of Mr. Cleveland, will do well not to undertake to explain away his words or to hug the delusion that his acts will not be consistent with them. Every time they have pretended to believe that he was about to surrender to the spoilsmen, he has taken some bold and irrevocable step in the opposite direction. Ifthey cheat themselves about this step the next one will leave those of them who are office-hoiders without the chance to violate the principles he lays down for their guidance.’’ THE TRIBUNE. . The Tribune says: ‘‘Bya decisive vote of 209 to 65 the House of Representatives yester- day declared a want of confidence in the ad- ministration of President Cleveland. This was donein 8 Mr. Morrison's resolu- tion taking from the Secretary of the Treasury the discretion now vested in him by law to usé any surplus inthe Treasury for the re- demption of United States bonds. Rejecting allamendments intended tolessenthe mis- chievous character ofthe resolution, the ma- 8 rushed it through regardless of the et- ect it might have on the credit of the govern- ment. In fact, ifthe government were driven into bankruptcy, Mr. Morrison and his friends would not care, providing they secured con- trol of the offices.’’ THE PEOPLE’S FORUM. A Shopgirl’s View.

Lama shopgirl, and ride down town every morning, and I know that although gentlemen (?) have often iven me their seats, fave never asked them. say that this is a free cofintry, and a lady can get in a car and look around her without the men thinking that she wants their seats, and if they do give them, why not do so without talking so much about it? Nobody can com- el a man to give up his seat ina car, and if e is suc a fool as to give his seatup and not wantto do so then he ought to be ‘‘left.’’ Girls, I wish to make a bargain with you. The next time one of those cranks offers you his seat refuse it, and then they will have to get anew subject to harpon. As for myself, I would just as soon stand if the car companies would lengthen the straps, as I am rather small and cannot reach them, and, consequently, cannot stand without falling on the other passengers that are lucky enough to have seats, ONE WHO WILL STAND. St. Louis, July 14, 1886. The Art Museum Free, To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. Will you kindly permit me to call the attention of the public to the recént action of the Board of Control in throwing open the doors of the Museum of Fine Arts, free of charge, on Sat urday and Sunday afternoons? It should be remembered that the Museum was not founded for the purpose merely of affordin preaware to people having the means of — ng their taste for art; but, perhaps, the most impor- tant object sought was to benefit those whose avocations should stimulate a desire for ad- vancement—the men and women who with their hands fashion and mold articles of use and beauty, In furtherance of this end, in a(idition to the paimtings and sculpture, there has been gathered a most complete collection of reproductions of rare metal work, pottery, porcelain, wood carving and fictile ivories, products of that marvelous hen from work-shop and humble home issued the cre- ations whieh arethe source of inspiration for the best industrial productions of the present.

Alleged Curious Conspiracy to Procure Separation. A Tale of Kidnapping and Terrible Domestic Trouble. A Divorce Procured Secretly in Chicago by the Husband and Father-in-Law— The Wife Asks the Court to Set It Aside—The Son of Charles H. Peck of Vandeventer Place in an Unenviable Role—Sequal to an Unequal Marriage. Mr. William W. Peck, a young man having an exteneive acquaintance in this city, proba- bly thinks the world narrower to-day than he did afew months ago. Mr. Peck is the son of Charles H. Peck of Grand avenue and Vandeventer place,this city, and in the course of a few days will probably again be the legal husband of Mrs. Neilie Peck, nee Brown, of No. 2830 Olive street. A more detailed statement of the case is probably necessary to give the publicathorough understanding of this peculiar affair. At present Mr. W. W. Peck’s residence is at No. 3222 Vernon avenue, Chicago, Hl. In the Chicago Circuit Court a petition will be filed to-morrow morning asking Judge Shepard to set aside the decree of divorce granted William W. Peck on the 12th of last May from his wife, Mrs. Nellie Peck. All these facts escaped the attention of the means of ö numerous acquaintances of the interested parties, and from the methods employed it would appear thatthis isthe result of design rather than accident. THE ANNOUNCEMENT OF THE PROCEEDINGS will be as great a surprise to the groom and bis family as the notice of divorce proved a few days ago to his late wife. The story with which the petition will be fol- lowed upreads like a modern novel, and presents many features that enlist sympathy for the woman concerned in the affair. About seven years ago Mr. William W. Peck resided in this eity at the elegant residence of his father, Mr. Charles H. Peck, at Grand avenue and Vandeventer place. He had returned from school to enjoy the luxuries of life at the home of his parents, and was widely known about town, where he was among the first in any under- taking of his companions. His family gave him position and entre tothe richest social circles, and his father’s wealth gave him ease and opportunity to enjoy the same. He was about 25 years of age when one evening he met Miss Neilie Brown, a girl of 15, at the Union Depot. Nellie had just re- turned with a companion from a visit to Indianapolis, Ind. Miss Patton, . her friend, had met Mr. William Peck previously and introduced him to Miss Nellie as he approached on the platform. The few moments’ conversation in the throng of traverlers decided for both years which have been full of trouble which now overflows before thepublic gaze. Nellie Brown was the daughter of an unusually intel- ligent widowdady, who supported her small family by sewing and renting out apartments. Mr. Peck requested permission to visit his new acquaintance. Relying on the guarantee of her girl companion’s introduction, the girl consented and Peck called. He was received with welcome, and there made the acquaintance of Mrs. Brown, another daughter and a son who was just growing up to manhood. He called again, devoting his attentions to Nellie. Mrs. Brown, a woman of remarkably good judgment, as she shows by her con- versation, was annoyed at the atten- tions shown her daughter. She supposed they were only trivial, and decided to discourage them at once. The difference of station between the girl and Mr. Peck was one of her reasons for opposing the continuance of the acquaintance. On the occasion of one of Mr. Peck’s visits Mrs. Brown asked him to discontinue his at- tentions. In reply he assured her of the up- rightness of his attentions toward her daughter, and she consented to have him call again. His subsequent. visit was made early in the evening when here. quested permission to take her daughter out fora walk. This was granted and shortly af- ter they returned to the house. NOTHING UNUSUAL was noticed, and Peck returned to his father’s house. A few weeks later the girl be- came dispirited but offered no other explanation for her despondency than her poor health, which had long given grounds for fear. It wus decided to send her away for a visit to relatives in Illinois about this time. When Peck learned of this plan he announced the fact that he and Nellie had been married two months pre- viously. On the evening he took her for a walk they went to a Justice’s office and were married there. Atthe same time he handed over to Mrs. Brown his marriage certificate. MR. CHARLES H. PECK, the father of the groom, had no knowledge of the marriage up to this time. At Mrs. Brown's suggestion the young man departed to tell his father what he had done. How he received the information only his son knew. He, however, acquiesced in the arrange- ments, and agreed that the young wife should go on her visit as she intended. She went to her uncle's in Illinois, and during her absence Mr. Peck, Sr., prepared apartments at the Windsor Flats, to which she returned as mistress. The delayed honey- moon waned rapidly as usual, and one day the wife gave a gauzy explanation in accounting for a discoloration on her arm. She said that while at her hus- band’s office she had accidently fallen against the stove and received the injury. Subse- quent events confirmed the sus- picions which were first aroused by this. The husband was frequently seen under the influence of liquor. After the birth of a child—a boy—the domestic disturb- ances became more frequent and the misconduct of | roform in | trying to chioroform me?’’ The husband, who had retired with his wife, laughed and all was quiet again. Mrs. Brown’s fears had been aroused and she attempted to get into the room but was refused admission. She called for heip and Mr. Marshal and Mrs. Smith came to her assistance. Mrs. Brown says her calls to her daughter were not an- swered nor would her the door until Mr. Marshal threatened to beatitdown. When it was finally opened the odor of chloroform was un- mistakable, though Peck denied hav- ing had any in the room. Mrs. Brown ru shed tothe bed and picked up the senseless form of ber daughter, who did not revive for three-quarters of an hour. To this Mrs. Peck’s mother says she will swear and likewise furnish the evidence of the other witnesses. The domestic troubles became more serious, and a separation was effected, but Mrs. Peck again returned to her husband, when his father made the arrangements to separate the young people, announcing his intention to place his son under treatment for intemperance. After Mrs. Peck returned to her mother’s house HER HUSBAND KIDNAPPED THE CHILD and retained him for nine months. In the meantime a warrant for abandonment was sworn out, and on the night of Miss Peck’s marriage, January 17 last, two deputy sheriffs called at the Peck mansion, but at request of Mayor Frencis and Judge Horner, Peck was not arrested during the festivities, as his absence would be noticed. They promised on honor to deliver him into custody the following day but Peck escaped. The child was, how- ever, recovered from him on the street bya detective and Mrs. Peck. PECK THEN WENT TO CHICAGO and instituted suit for divorce, claiming that notice by publication had been sent to his father’s house in this city, where his wife was stopping. Sam Protine, a well-known character, and Charles H. Peck supplied the testimony upon which the divorce was granted. Only a few days ago Mr. Jos. G. Lodge, Mrs. Peck’s attorney, learned that a divorcee had been granted. He communicated with Hogan, Case & Hogan of Chicago, who re- plied by telegraph that the report was true, a divorce having been granted on testi- mony of adultery given by Protine and his friend. A petition to set aside this divorce was at once filed. In this young Peck is charged with having made representations as to residence in Illinois which were not true, and that under the Illinois law he was not entitled to a divorce. It is also charged that the newspapers said to have been sent to the wife at Mr. Peck’s house were never delivered and that the whole case is one of conspiracy between Peck and his father and the attorneys in the case. When asked concerning the divorce Mr. Lodge said, as far as he now knew, the divorce was obtained by perjury and fraud and would be set aside without question. The case will be called in Chicago Circuit Court to-morrow. THE PETITION sets forth that Peck was neveraresident of Chicago; that he well knew the whereabouts of his wife and could have seraed notice upon her in regular form; that in sending the marked copy of the paper containing the notice to his father’s house he was guilty of conspiracy, as it was not intended that the newspaper should be handed or foryarded to the defendant, who did not live with her father-in-law, as the plaintiff well knew; that the defendant was of unimpeachable character and that Protine perjured himself on the stand, and was guilty of conspiracy. In ad- dition, the bill states that under the laws of Illinois a divorce obtained by publication of notice only and the defend- ant not appearing in Court,the decree is not absolute until after the expiration of three years from the date of entering but is conditional and subject to be set aside, hence the present petition. The wife, MRS. NELLIE BROWN PECK, igs a young woman about 22 years of age. She has a pleasing address and the composure and ease of dear ing that is the possession of people who through long suffering have acquired a self- control. Her hair is a dark brown and is brushed up in loose locks from a forehead broad and low. The eyes are large and sym- pathetic and of the quality that is described as violet. The face is oval and, but for the mental wear that it evinces, would be more than comely. When speaking the lady restrains an impulse to break into a smile and the lips move often in anticipation ot an idea about to be expressed. Her at- tire when seen by a reporter was of navy blue cloth with a bonnet of becoming black trimmed in beads. The figure was graceful, and the lady’s hands were of delicate yet active modeling. Mrs. Peck’s story, as detailed to the re- porter, is as follows: I was a girl of 16 when I married in opposition to my mother’s wishes. Will, my husband, was eight years my senior and I believed my mother unduly prejudiced. 1 married him on the lath day of March, 1879. His father is Chas. H. Peck of Vandeventer place, and is reputed to be very wealthy. I think he is. My husband had no business and whatever money he had was procured from the old gentleman. Father Peck at the time of our mar- riage gave us a furnished house to live in at 3535 Lindell avenue. I say he gave us the house, but he only allowed us to live in it. It was never deeded to us. Will was always fast, and from the earliest days of our married lite he was habitually intoxicated. After my littie boy was born he became promiscuous in his attentions to other women in addition to con- tinulng his habit of drink, and to these he added a custom of daily personal abuse. He would beat me black and blue, knock me down and often make it necessary tor me to appeal to his father, my mother or the neighbors for protection. I have had to leave the house at midnight to escape his cruelty. This hap- pened not only when he was im liquor but often when he was sober and should have known better. 2 : Although th rniture of the house did not belong to him mortgaged itand spent the money on wine and women. He also mortgaged an additional suit which he had bought on credit and had not paid for. A rented piano belonging to Balmer & Weber he sold to obtain money for his dissipation. Not content with this, he wohid take the money given by his father for our subsistance and waste that, too. At length, wearied with it all, el took my boy and two bedroom sets of the furniture, which Father Peck said I have, and went to live at No. second street. a THAT sann NIGHT Will came to me and begged me to goto the old home and pass the night with him, a he feared he seen (Seas this room.

The next day he w well enough to go down town and effect a aaj of the remaining furniture before his fath r learned of it to prevent him. “| From that day, February 3, until March th 10th, Will gave me just $5.85.

He came to this city often, but the officers never seemed able to get him. yy legal action incensed the old man who, when he learned of what | had done came to my household, took POsses. sion of the two suits of furniture he had given me. Ithen went to my mother’s. Last October 1 learned that my bus. band and my baby were in the city and stopping at the father’s home. I determined to regain possession of. my boy and for severa! days I watched the Peck house. Mr. Russell was kind enough to let me ge. crete myself in the loft of his livery stable on Grand avenue and 2 THERE IN THE COLD I WAITED. Loften saw the boy but never far enouz) away from home to get him. On the Mth day of October, Wik, true to his old instinct for drink, came out of the house and crossed Grand avenue toward a saloon. He was leading our boy by the hand. It was my opportunity. My mother and brother were with me. I crossed the street and stepping between my boy and his father took possession of the baby. Will seized me, but my brother, who came up, struck him and forced him to release me. I was weak from worry and distress and long watching in the cold, but I seemed to get a supernatural strength. I picked up the little fellow and carried him in my arms to the Franklin avenue cars. . I have had him ever since. During all my life with Will Peck I was a true and faithful wife. He abused me in every way possible. Once he chloroformed me in order to rifle my bureau. He even pawned my baby’s neck chain and little toilet trinkets to buy his drink. His conduet/ with other women was notorious. On one night in our own honse he left my room and entered the bedroom ot ou: negro cook, who was righteously insulted by his conduct. And now he assails my character in another city under cover of perjury and concealment.’’ and his the The Texas Drought.

Atthe same time, being a League man, I do not think they would reach the place they naturally expect, that is, first.

A Little Bundle of Papers and a Bal- ance Due to This Day. Three base ball men have been sojourning in St. Louis for the past few days of whoma very remarkable incident is told,and which probably has never been published. They are Joe Quest of the Athletics and Flint and Williamson of the Chicago club, The tale was told the other day by a man who was riding on cable car and on whom, for the present at least, the responsibility must rest. The facts in the case, if facts they are, were dug up out of the soil of old time base ball and they have been buried there for wae 4 a Long ago, it is said, when these three well-known ball tossers were playing on the Indianapolis club they attracted attention in more ways t one. hen In- dianapolis closed its doors on the national game and went out of the business, these three players went to Chicago. After they had been comfortably settied in the city by the suddenly remembered that a smail balance of salary was still due them from the Indianapolis management and they looked about them for sowe quick method of having the same remitted. To this end they placed themselves in com- munication with a lawyer at Indianapolis, in- formed the limb of the law that a balance was due them and authorized him to collect the money if possible from the management of the local elub. The lawyer, continued the man on the cable car, hied him- self to one of the directors of the club and ac- quainted him with his mission. Smiiingly the director led the lawyer into a little private of- fice, sat him down and, reaching for a drawer in his desk, drew forth a bundle of papers neatly tied up in red tape and marked with dates, names and other little indices as to their contents.

On the,banks of the Charles stands a two- story plain, wooden building fronting on Charles street, says the Boston Herald. On the upper floor, whichis reached by a flight of rickety stairs, is the boatbuilding shop of W. W. Ruddock. Few men are better known in the aquatic world than Ruddock, and there is hardly an oarsman of prominence that has not used his boats, and his knowledge of these men is naturally extensive. He is at work on boats for Teemer and Ross which they are to take to England. After explainin the construction of these craft, Mt. Ruddoc said: 1 intended starting for England with Wallace Ross ii he put off his departure until about August 1. understand that he pro- poses going earlier, July 25. In that event I shall follow him about August 1, and take his boat with me. Why dol go? Well, tor several reasons. First, | want to see the race. I have not had arest fora good many years, and I think that the trip would do me good. Then Ihave many relatives whom I have not seen for years, and, then, I would like to keep an eye on the boys from this side who are go- ing ro row. „Who do you think will win the sweep. stakes?’’ That is a question that I have considered carefully, but lam unable to give an opinion untill see Beach. I have heard that he is a very strong, good sculler, butIdo not think that he can defeat such men as Gaudaur, Teemer and Hanilan.’’ Wat is/your opinion cf Gaudaur?’’ think he is undoubtedly the fastest man in the world this year. He has always been a fast man and is a finished scuiler; in fact, I place him next to Hanian in that respect. Gau- daur’s rae for rowing is almost perfect, and he has kad the best of care and training for the year’s work. The reason that he has not made a name for himself befure is that he was never properly trained until Hamm was sent for by Mr. St. John. Ho do you class Teemer?’’ „He is a fast map, but I think that he has an off year. It has been demonstrated that about once in every three years an oarsman gets a little ‘stale’ and requires rest, and I think this must be Teemer’s bad year,as he is young | was rowing fast aeg: and has never done enough rowing to burt him physically. Tes. I think Hanlan is rowing as well as ever he did, but he needs to take extraordinary care of himself, as young blood ison the ascendant, and Haulan can not at- ford to give anything away.’’ „What would be the result if Hanlan and Gaudaur shouid row a match race?’’ think that Gaudaur would defeat him, as he is a much stronger man and almost as finished a sculler as Ned is. 1 do not think that Beach can defeat either of these men, notwithstand his victories over Hanlan. Wallace Ross is the same as ever—he gets there when there is anything in it. He expects to @ a great showing in England, as he de- clares he is always able to row much faster there than here. He will row the boat Iam now making and adapting especiaily to bis pe- culiar style. Did the result of the Fourth of July re- gatta surprise you?“ „es and no. I knew McKay was rowing very fast,as I had seen him spurting wit Hosmer, but Lee and Ross were so confident that I could not place a winner. I hada hopes that Hosmer would be in the van.’ Is Hosmer going back—what do you think of his powers this year?“ No, George never rowed better in his life than he did when he came down from Canada, after row- ing Hanlan, he was in perfect physical condi- tion. He then started in to train the West End four, all of whom were much heavier than he. The hard work of pulling brought him down under weight and took the very life out of him. When he started in the city re he was nearly five pounds under weight, and this, in connection with the unfair start he ot, accounts for his seemingly bad showing. think that if he will rest for a while, and not work the life out of himself, he will get back to his old form and regain the title of ‘Lightning 2 My opinion of Ten Eyck?

Why he must be coming, or he never could keep up in fast company the way he has. ‘Lucky Jim’ is all nonsense; it is not luck, but good judgment and rowing that en- able him to secure a ‘piece’ in each regatta he rows in.

LARCHMONT, N, Y., July 15.—The third an- nual regatta of the American Yacht Olub, which is composed exclusively of steam yachts, takes place to-day, There has been a stiff wind from the Southwest all night, and the sea this morning is choppy and ugly. It is thought that the smaller yachts will find some rough traveling before they get to New London. There are dozens ot the yachts in the harbor, three of them having found it rudent to remain in the cove dur- ng the night. The first oint to be touched is New Lendon, a distance of eighty knots from here. The yachts are di- vided into three classes, viz.: ose exceed- ing 150 feet in length on the water line, those be- tween Sand 100 feet, and those between 50 and 8 feet. A prize cupis offered in each class. Time allowance is based on the rule that the speed of a yacht in knots per hour should ual 2 7-10 times the cube root of the length of the water line. Mr. Charles H. Hasweil also offers a cup to be contested for under his method of time allowance, and Commodore Hoagland offers one tothe yacht making the best time over the course regardless of time allowable. It was expected that there would be an interesting race for the, last-named cup between JAY GOULD’S ATLANTA and Mr. Herrschoff’s. Stilletto, there being rivalry between the respectivé cham- pions of these yachts, but these hopes were dispelled this morning when it was announced that the Stilletto could not participate in the race, as she is detained for an inspection by Government ofiicials. To-morrow there will be a race for yachts and launches under 50 feet on the water line from New London to Shelter Island. Secretary Thomas Manning offers two cups for this event dividing the classes into tubular boilers an other boilers. The Isherwood time allowance will govern. The committee in charge of the regatta is composed of Messrs. Geo. . Hall, Thomas Manning, Ed L. Ennet, E. 8. Connor and Thomas L. Scoville. The preparatory signal for the third-class steamers was sounded from the flag ship Lagonda at 8:254. m. Ten minutes later the starting signal was ven and three yachts few across the line. There were F. L. Os8good’s Nereid, F. Braud- ith’s Camilla and John P. Kennedy's Viola. They got away in the order named, the Nereid having an advantage of over half a mile. The Camilla and Viola were close together, but as they passed out of sight up the sound the Camilla seemed to be gaining on the Viola. The Herrschoff model, known as tne Henri- etta, owned by Norman L. Munro, is here, but did not start on her class. The Wimbledon Shoot. Lowpor, July 15.—A baffling wind interfered with the efforts of the marksmen at Wimble- don, yesterday. In the shooting for the Queen's prize at 200 yards and 500 yards, the Canadian competitors, out of a possible 70 points scored as follows: Russell, 61; Armstrong, 60, Bell, 58. The highest score was 66. In the shooting with revolvers, each man firing six shots at twenty yards, Blair and Wilson, Canadians, scored respectively 34 and 32 points. Glen- downyn, a member of a Welch regiment, scored 32 points. The Canadians were fairly successful, winning minor money prizes, and they are improving daily. The London Chess Congress. Lonrpon, July 15.—The third round of the Chess Congress was won by Burn from Schlopp; McKenzie beat Hanham, Laubenhaus beat Blackburn, Gunsberg beat Mortimer and Zukertort beat Pollock. The game between Bird and Mason was drawn. Lipschutz did not play. So far in the present tournament, McKenzie and Gunsberg have two and one- half es each to their credit; Schlopp, Burn and ubenhaus two each; Pollock one and one-half; Lipschutz, Blackburn, Mason and Zukertort one each, and Bird, Sulu, Mortimer and Hanham none. Bicycle Budget. Weber has returned to Smithville for a gen- eral resting up. The English record for a mile is now 2:34 4-5, made by H. A. Speechly on the Crystal Palace track, July 8. At Wheeling, W. Va., og | the 80-mile road race was won by W. D. Banker of the Allegheny Cycle Club, who made the distance in 2 hours 5242 minutes. The Boston Globe says: ‘‘President Cleve- land and bride have promised to review the St. Louis wheelmen’s torchlight parade, which is to be held next month. Arthur Young and Burt Thorm went up to Clarksville last night to staytwo weeks. They are equipped with bikes and boats and other out-door paraphernalia. Doubtless Art will scrape upa closer acquaintance with Crank O. L. McDonald, the Rambler who cycied from St. Louis to Cincinnati, made 394 miles in five and one-half days. In the greater part of Illinois he found the roads miserable, and had to run wagon-ruts a good portion of the dis- tance. The roads in the eastern part ot Lili- nois and throughout Indiana and Ohio are ofa superior quality, affording many good spurts and coasts. The next meeting of the Cyclists’ Social Union will be held Saturday evening, the 24th. A circular letter will be issued to all city wheelmen, calling upon them to attend the meeting. The tickets will be 50 cents, pro- curable at Meachain’s, Simmons’, St. Louis Wheel Company, and Winter & Stettinius. It should be borne in mind that all wheelmen are invited to the Union’s meeting. In the fifty-mile road race of the North Road Club wane. occurred a remarkable occur- rence, aj. Knox-Holmes, who is nearly #0 years old, rode in a tandem with Marriott, and made the distance in 4h. 17m. The joint ages of the pair amounted to 114 years, but neverthe- less the Major’s gray iocks firet floated into sight at the finish, although numerous fast bicyclists were intherun.

Italian Opera to Contest the Field with the German and American — Angelo After the Academy of Music—Col, Maple- son Preparing for a Lively Contest— Sale of the Boston Bijou Theater. By Telegraph to the Post-DisPatTou. NEw Tonk, July 18.—It does not seem as if American and German opera would hold un- disputed sway here next season, for if the plans that have been formed are carried out, there will not only be Italian opera, but plenty of it. In the first place Signor Angelo, Col. J. H. Mapleson’s former general manager, has gone to work and organized a company of Italian singers and applied through his agent in this city, Ravin D’Eipeux, for the lease of the Academy of Music from October 18 to No- vember 22, inclusive. But Col. Mapleson has no idea of abandoning the field because of the desertion of his business manager, as the fol- lowing letter will show. It is written from the Junior Club, London, under date of June 28, to a friend in this city. “I suppose you have heard that Abbey, rofitin by the newspaper reports, as got Patth to si a contract to go On aconcert tour with him in America.

ANGELO 8 COMPANY. The Italian Opera, which has been organized by Signor — at will include, it is said, Signors Giannini, Poliani, Cesari, Pinto, Corsi, Mmes. Montalba, Corieri, Borghi, Marie Grobel, and Julia Valda, the American girl, who recently achieved a decided success at Covent Garden, London. A full chorus has been selected in Italy. Application has been made for the use of the Academy for the period mentioned. At the conclusion of the season atthe Academy the company will make the tour of the principal cities, including San Francisco. Signor Angelo started for New Yorn Tuesday. It is said that he has the financial backing of some of the directors of Covent en, ndon. A. J. Mur- phy, Secretary of the Academy of Music, said yesterday thatthe application had been made to him by M. D’'Elpeux for the use of the Academy by Signor Angelo’s company. There would be no trouble he said, about the Signor getting the Academy if he complied with the — 4 — ot the directors, as the dates for which he wants it are open. The directors, however, would insist on being fully secured and notbing could be definitely settled until the arrival of Signor Angelo in this city. Mr. Murphy said, also, that it was true Col. Mapieson had applied for the Academy of Music for two weeks succeeding January 3, 1887, but he had not madea definite m oney offer and consequently the matter was in purely embryotic shape. The Bijou Theater. By Telegraph to the Posr-DisrArcn. Bos rox, July 15.—The Bijou Theatre in this city has passed out of the hands of Edward H. Hastings, the lesees, and the control of the property has gone back to the owners of the Adams estate. The house was leased in 1882 by Mr. Hastings fora term of eleven years and eontinued under his management until last fall, when the theater was leused by Ad Nuen- dorff, who ran a series of comic operas, which, however, were not successful. In the early winter of 188% Miles and Barton took a five years’ lease of the house, running minstrel r variety shows and burlesque operas. he entlemen did not succeed and gave up their ease, leaving the theater iu the hands of Mr. Hastings. harles Francis Adams, Jr. relieved Mr. Hastings of his lease and will hereafter control the property. It is said that the house will be converted into a business block and will not again be used as a theater. The place has quite a history. It was many years ago a large billard hall and was afterward transformed into the Gaiety Theater, conducted by Jason Went- worth of Adelphi Theater fame. It was at the Gaiety that Audran’s opera, ‘‘Mascot,’’ was first brought to this country. In 1882 the thea- ter was remodeled at great expense and opened in the fall, when Gilbert and Sullivan's ‘*‘Iolanthe’’ was first produced inthis city. During the run of that piece considerable money was made, but since then the house has never been a financial success. LEAVE St. Louis 6:25 p. m. Supper in Elegant Dining Oars.

Four men were severely cut. The foreman was in the second story at the time of the invasion. Hearing the row he rushed to the stairway and fired a shot at one of the intimidators. It caused a panic among them and they fied. He fired several shots at the crowd as they left. The patrol wagon ar- rived too late to capture any of the assail- ants.

Thomson’s Flight—Recep- tions and Balls—A Regimental Dril!l—Life at Camp Marmaduke. By Telegraph to the Post-DtsPaTcz. CaMP MARMADUKE, SWEET SPRINGS, Mo., July 15.—A light rain is falling this morning and will lay the dust nicely for the sham bat- tle, and will enable the troops to use the race- track which has been in bad shape for driving the entire week. There isa large crowd ex- pected here by 3 o’clock. The battle takes place at 3:30 p. m. All trains coming in bring loads of people from neighboring towns and cities. Abouttwo hundred soldiers have ar- rived since yesterday and about half as many have gone home. Quite a sensation was caused in camp by the news that Mr. A. B. Thomson, President of the St. Louis Light Cavalry, has suddenly disap- peared,and the failure of the Provident Savings Bank, quite a large number of the militia- men having deposits there. His horse is here and he was expected hereto-day. It wasa sudden shock to his comrades, who held him in the highest esteem. The ball last night was largely attended and a success in 8 respect. The Carthage Light Guards, assisted by their renowned band, gave a reception to the Rain- water Rifles of St. Louis, and speeches were made by Capt. Brandon of the Rain- waters and the Captain of the Light Guards. About two hundred invited guests were pres- ent. The cowboys from Kansas City, attired in Government blankets and feathers as head ornaments, gave a war dance, to the delight of the entire camp. Several shots were fired at foragers last night andsome of them made very narrow escapes. They brought in their game, however, and will have a grand chicken stew at dinner. The first regiment will give a regimental drill to-day with a picked squad from each company. — Brant of the Scott Rifles is officer of the ay. THE SHAM BATTLE. P was very lively all day yesterday, the different regiments put- ting in hard licks at drilling and preparing themselves for the great sham bat- tle to-day, when over one thousand men will endeavor to give a sight never before wit- nessed in the State. All of the emg ne State officiais are here, and are lending every effort to make it a success. The ound for the battle has been selected, and it will take place near the amphitheater, so as to give a good view to it from that large building. The St. Louis companies will endeavor to do justice to the occasion and their city by making a capture, and will be ably supported 8 —— and the Light Cavalry. he dress parade last evening was carried out as ordered and the different regiments gave * exhibitions of drilling iu front of the hotel, where a crowd of possibly 2,000 witnessed it. The First Regiment, under com- mand of Maj. Cookson, ably assisted by Adjt. Batdorf, carried off the honors of the day, they having, in addition to their infantry, the St. Louis Light Cavairy in full dress. The Seventh Regiment Band serenaded the family of United States Senator Vest and other prominent cottagers this evening. The Regimental Band of Carthage is giving an open-air concert at the hotel to-night. The Carthage Light Guards isone of the finest drilled teams in the Stafe, and they re- ceive many compliments for the excellent drills they furnish the visitors. The St. Louis Light Cavalry are the cynosure of ali eyes as they march into the dining-room at the hotel with their glittering uniforms on. Gen. Jamison, Commander-in-Chief, has proven himself — 7 —.— gentieman and holds thé high esteem of every soldier in the camp as is shown by the good order that has been had. Quite a number ofthe First Regiment boys have one home, and several have gone to visit friends along the line. There will be a barbecue on Friday, when a fine lot of meat will be served tothe soldiers, accompanied with rice and beans as a desert. One of the companies in camp bears the name of the Hale Rifles, in honor ot Congress- man Hale, and he can weill be proud of it. The Busch Zouavesare doing themselves proud by fine drilling, and the people go wild whenever they putin an appearance. The weather is unusually pleasant here, and itis a great resort for persons who desire to et out of the heated cities. The hotel is com- ortably crowded, and among the many guests we notice the following prominent rsons: Judge John W. Henry, Col. E. C. More, Dr. M. Munford, Dr. S. S. Laws, Judge J. J. Lind- ley, Col. Warder, the poet laureate of Kansas City; Col. R. B. Price, Col. Lon V. Stephens, Rev. John Snyder, Hon. Oscar Von Kochtitzky and Hon. Frank Walker. CAMP NOTES. Quartermaster Lund received a case of of spring 1881, Charles Wezler, Anderson County, Kentucky, Eau de vie, Tuesday, a quart bottle of which was presented to each commander of the First Regiment. Corporal Walter Hughes of the Tredways received a painful cut on his right foot Tues- day while bathing in Black River, and Dr. Baron, Acting Surgeon, sewed it up. During the regimental drill of the Third and Fitth and Seventh Regiments Tuesday one man dropped from the heat. Sam Crossman, Quartermaster-Sergeant of the Rainwater Rifles, flils the difficult position to the entire satisfaction of all. Fred Provenchere of Company E is still a hard kicker. Jd Burleigh of the Rainwater Rifles is one of the largest men in camp, consequently one of the biggest hearted feliows in aline County. 4 Tate Pryor, Acting First-Sergeant of Com- pany E, has won the esteem of both the boys and commanding officer by the faithful dis- charge of his duties. Ed Olarke — 4 a large rustic chair, facing the hotel, muc tter than practice drills. The regimental drill was postponed on Tuesday on account of the extreme heat. Lieut. Abadie of the cavalry is accompanied by his son,a very soldierly looking young man. Capt.

SALISBURY’S PROGRAMME. LONDON, July 15.—The Duke of Argyle and Mr. Goschen have given their adherence to + Lord Salisbury's programme and are willing to enter his Cabinet, provided the Moderate Liberals secure a fair share of the offices. Lord Hartington’s hesitancy to accept office in a Conservative Cabinetis due to the fact that ne whl risk- his political future if he joins Salisbury and is excommunicated by the Liberals, as he can never thereafter succeed Gladstone in the Liberal leadership, while in remaining independent he can resume hisplace in the Liberal ranks when the Irish question is settled. GLADSTONE IN LONDON. Mr. and Mrs. Gladstone arrived in London Mstevening. They were driven to their resi- dence in an open carriage. Crowds of people pressed around the carriage to shake hands with the Premier, and mingled cheers and groans were frequently uttered by the multi- tude. Mr. Gladstone is in excellent health. The Gladstonians have gained the Otley di- vision of Yorkshire. BEECHER ON ENGLISH ELECTIONS. The Daily News this morning prints an inter- view with the Rev. Henry Ward Beecher, in which he remarked upon the quiet and ordefly character of English elections as compared with elections in America. Regarding the political battle, he said that Americans vere profoundly interested in the British lead - ers, holding them in a sort of ideal reverence. With respect to his presence here, amid the strife, he said that his finding Gladstone and Bright pelting letters at each other produced a strange illusion. ‘‘From the American standpoint,’’ he said, the question at issue isas simple as A, B. C. But when we come here we find details rather than principles separating the great leaders. While in the first instance our whole thought goes with Gladstone, yet when we read the arguments of other men we admit our inability to meet them. Then we are puzzled, but on the de- tails; not on the general scheme at all. Re- verting to the elections, he admitted that the English laws were much more rigorous than the American. But he thought the American system of registration better than England’s. Bribery, he said, was a great danger in the American elective system. The difficulty was to obtain laws to suppress bribery. The dynamite fund sent to England was raised by an insignificant circle of im- ported wretches to which American-born Irishmen were as much opposed as English- men. The American national feeling was not in sympathy with any violent form of inter- ference. They welcomed assisting the Par- nellites in Parliament, but the dynamite fund was a clandestine. movement to arouse the’ sympathy of the Irish in order to obtain their votes; and it was a move- ment that had not taken deep root in America. Mr. Beecher objected to English papers treat- ing the Ameriean interest in the Irish question us an intrusion. Hie earnestly maintained that the Americans had no such intention. Theirs was a non-partisan, ‘kindly interest in the solution of the diflicuity between Great Britain and Ireland; it belonged to the region of sympathetic interest. The development of English affairs was a study—a deep, absorbing Problem. “I know,’’ he said in conclusion, “that n-lookers are said to see most of the game. Jalso know that when a man is playing chess it is never allowed that an outsider shall sug- best a move. 5 A JOINT GOVERNMENT. The Standard says that considering the relative strength of the parties, the Marquis ot Salisbury is the natural head of the new Gov- ‘ronment. It adds: All Oonservatives who prize the triumph which the Conservatives andthe Liberal Unionists won together will Wish to see the Marquis of Hartington a prom- ent member of the new Government, and Will also desire to have the Unionists fairly and fully represented. Unless the Marquis of Salisbury adduces a conclusive reason: against this policy, we are sure itis one the country Will best understand. It will commend itself to the common sense of the electors.

Some Sensational Developments Expected— Delegates Subpwnaed To-Day. The meeting time of the Grand-jury has been changed from 10 a. m. to 2 p. m. This change took effect to-day and the august body was not called together until 2 p. m. There are apt to be sensa- tional developments now at most any time. There have been criminations and recrimina- tions by the members of. the House of Dele- gates, Dr. Wellington Adams of Electric Railway fame and others, and it is difficult to say how the matter willend. A number of the members of the House are pretty padly frightened, and there is apt to be a squeal at~ any time from one of them. One Delegate in particular, against whom there has been considerable testimony given before the Grand-jury, is very much worked up and is very desirous of being summoned asa wit- ness before the jury. His motive is supposed to be merely to prevent his own indict- ment, as the Grand-jury cannot indict any witness who appears before them. Since the witnesses have been swearing so much against each other before the jury, Circuit Attorney Clover has withdrawn from summoning wit- nesses and has been telling the Grand - jury to do this part of the work themselves, as they cannot indict any one whom they let tes- tify before them and should any man escape through having been permitted to give his tes- timony, the Circuit- Attorney does not want to be held to blame in the matter. | Amopg the witnesses who are expected to testi efore the body this afternoon are Dr- Wellington Adams, Monahan and Schoenbeck and Kirby.

The Doings of a Young Minister Agitating a Long Island Village. By Telegraph to the POST-DISPATCH. NEw Tonk, July 15.—The historic village of Flatlands is one of the quietest and most con- servative places on Long Island. Like every other community Flatlands has its gossips, but these folks have no great opportunity to display their abilities in rolling choice morsels of scandal over their tongues. Just at the present time the main topic is the doings of Rev. F. C. Overbaugh, who recently left there for Ohio. The clergyman is at present a Baptist minister, but was for some years a Methodist minister. He is 30 yearsold. The Rev. Mr. Overbaugh’s record is an interesting one. He was born in Flatlands, L. I. At the age of 21 he adopted the minist as a profession. He came into public notice in 1875 when he m.de his appearance in Coram, L. I., and took charge of the Methodist Church ef that place. At the time of his arrival in the town bad feeling existed in the Osborne and Smith families, both prominent and wealthy residents of the — Capt. Smith from the first showed a liking for the 8 minister, and Capt. Osborne took a dislike to him. Both were members of the same church and had Corner —— —— —— —ęV—ͤ — —— — — — in Need Always a Friend in Need.

In less than three months after the death of his first wife Overbaugh gayly led Miss Kraft to the altar, It is said that the marriage caused notittle excitement in the village, and atonetime a coat of tar and feathers was spoken about. The atmosphere of Locust Valley finally became so hot that Overbaugh took up his residence in Sag Harbor, L. I. There he became a Baptist, and after being immersed in the presence of the whole village one warm summer’s day, he took charge of the Baptist Church, butin less than five weeks he moved to South River, N. J.,and assumed charge of the Baptist Church of that place. He was charged with various offenses while living here, prominent among them be- — an attempt at elopement with a pretty schoolgirl of New Brunswick. It was noticed that Overbaugh was very assiduous in his at- tentions to the charming stranger, and when she returned home, it is aileged, he followed her.

English newspapers, apparently, have no conception of what it is to havea „beat charged against them. It would make the average American editor tear his hair to have an opposition sheet get ahead of him in chronicling all that there was to chronicle about the arrival ofa distinguished visitor from abroad, but Englishmen take things easy, and 80, despite the fact that several of t newspapers published talks with Mr. Beec on the day following his ar- rival, representatives of other journals strolied into his hotel a day or two later and contentedly wrote up their talks, dividing the thing up with much precision into ‘‘inter- view and Mr. Beecher,’’ with a colon after each. ‘They have ‘‘cranks’’ in England as well as in America.
