EDIRION ARRESTED, — — — Warrants Out for the Direct- ors of the Broken Bank. g Messrs. Smith, Mullen, Scott, Swain, Thomson, Garland and Greeley Charged with Violation of the Banking Law. The Warrants Issued at the Request of a Depositor—No Pursuit of the Fugitive Cashier on the Part of the Police—Pro- ceedings in the Circuit Court—A Grow- ing Suspicion that Thomson Is in the City Making Overtures to the Directors. Information was made and warrants sworn out at a late hour this afternoon by Mr. Julian Loughlin, attorney for Barr & Widen, mercantile agents, doing busi- ness at Fifth and Olive streets, for the arrest of the officers and directors of the Prov- ident Savings Bank for alleged criminal viola- tion of the banking law. A copy of the infor- mation sworn to is appended below: Bernard Dierkes, Assistant Prosecuting-At- torney of the St. Louis Court of Criminal Cor- rection, now hereir Court on behalf of the State of Missouri, information makes as fol- lows: Thatonthe fourteenth day of July, 1886, Charles H. Smith, C. B. Greeley, George Scott, William P. Mullen, Thomas H. Swain, A. B. Thomson and James S. Garland being then and there and at that time di- rectors, managers and officers in charge of the Provident Savings Bank, a bank ing institution doing business in the State of Missouri at St. Louis in said State, did then, there, and at said #ime receive oBassent to the reception from Joseph Barr and Joseph B. Widen the sum of $130 as a deposit in said bank ing institution, and that said banking institu- tion was at said time insoivent, or in failing circumstances, and that the said Charles H. Smith, C. B. Greeley, George Scott, William P. Mullen, Thomas Swain, A. B. Thomson and James 8. Garland had knowledge of the fact that at the time of so receiving or assenting to the reception of.said sum of money as aforesaid, that said banking institu- tion was insolvent or in failing circumstances. HENRY D. LAUGHLIN, M. F. TAYLOR and JULIAN LAUGHIN, Of Counsel. MR. JULIAN LAUGHLIN, when seen, said thatthe claim was for but $130, and was made as atest-case. It was very clear that the directors knew that the bank was in a falling condition on Monday last. On Tuesday they made an investigation and made application in court for a receiver. It was more than probable then thaton Wednesday, when the money of his client was received, that they knew the bank was gone. There was a grim smile with this. The warrants were issued for larceny. „Further, said Mr. Laughlin, I think they are responsibie for all money taken since July 1, when they declared a dividend in violation of the law, which says no dividend shall be declared when the capital of the bank shall be in an impaired condition. It will be useless for these gentlemen to plead that they were igno- rant either of this law or of the banks condi- tion. It is their business to know both. DR. SCOTT was seen by a reporter and told that there was a warrant out for his arrest. He simply said that he was ready and would give bond. ABOUT NOON to-day Julian Laughlin called at the Four Courts in-company with one of the depos- itors and held a consultation with acting Assistant Prosecuting Attorney Joseph Jecko in regard to getting out a warrant against the bank officers. Mr. Jecko informed him that the case would come under Sec. 1350 of the Statutes, and as there are no bianks for an offense of this kind, and the drawing 5 of the complain‘ isalong and tedious job, r. Laughlin consented to draw it up. himseif. He then left, promising to return at 3 o’clock to have the warrant is- sued. The section under which it comes was published in the PostT-Dis- PATCH a few days ago in an article regarding the likelihood of an in- vestigation of the failure by the Grand jury. The statute is as foliows: Section 1350—Bank officers receiving de- posits; whenafelony—If any President, Di- rector, manager, cashier, or other officer of any banking institution doing business in this State shall receive an assent to the re- —— of wy deposit ofmoney or other valuable thing in Such bank or banking institu- tion, or if any such officer or agert shall create or assent to the creation of any debts or indebtedness by such bank or bank- ing institution, in consideration or by reason of which indebtedness any money or valuable property shail be receiv into such bank or banking institution after he shall have had knowledge of the fact that it is insolvent or in failing circuom- stances, he shall de deemed guilty of larceny, and upon conviction thereof, shall be punished im the manner and tothe same extent as is provided by law for _ stealing the same amount of money deposited or vaiu- able thing: Provided that the failure of any such bank or banking er ee be prima facie evidence of knowledge on the part of any such officer or person that the same was insolvent or in failing circum- stances when the money or property was re- ceived on deposit. The State Constitution also contains a clause ene an Offense of this kind, It is as fol- Ows: 8: ‘*Section 27—It shall be a crime, the nature and punishment bf which shall be prescribed by law, for any president, dfrector, manager, cashier or other officer of any banking institution, to assent to the reception of de- peer or the creation of debts by such bank- ng institution. after he shall have had knowledge of the fact that itis insolvent, or in failing circum- and any such officer, agent or man- idually responsible for such deposits so received, and all such debts so created with his assent.”’ — PROCEEDINGS IN COURT. 7 Orders Made by Judge Lubke— theory of the Chicago Police—Other Matters. Cireuit Court No.8 presented an animated scene this morning. Judge Lubke occupied the bench for the first time since the crash of the Provident Savings Bank. The order for the closiag of that institution and the appoint- mentofareceiver at the petition of Stoekholder GariosS. Greeley was made in chambers it will be remembered, and all intervening pe- | titions and motions entered since the in open court to-day. In consequence there was quitearush of creditors and claimants with their legal advisers when Judge Lubke mounted Judge Barclay’s bench and proceeded to open up the business of Court No. 8 this morning. The motion hour was consumed in hearing and disposing of various matters pertaining to cases in other divisions of the court, andthe crowd inter- ested in the affairs of the Provident sat around in small semi-circles fan- ning themselves impatientiy and wishing all persons consuming the time ot the court with other business in hades. The heat in the court-room was intense, all the windows and transoms being tightly closed on account of the noise from the granite paving without. It was after 11 o’clock when ex-Judge Adams, appearing as the attorney for Receiver Thompson, the President of the Bank of Com- merce, arose and presented to the Court, with the view of simplifying matters, the following order, which was approved: Ordered that whea any motion or petition shail have been filed in this case and shall bave reinained so on file herein for three days any and all persons interested herein shall take knowledge of the 2 thereof, and after the expiration of such three days such motions and petitions shall be sub- ect to be called and disposed of by he Court, or by some Judge thereof in vaca- tion, and any and all parties interested in such motion or petition — attend and be heard in respect to the disposition thereof. There was some little discussion among counselasto the effect of such an order as the foregoing in cases where persons inter- ested happened to beinthe mountains or at the seashore at this time. Judge Labke remarked that the wires had given the ‘news through the press in all parts of the 2 and all parties interested could make convenient to be here or to be represented here in all matters of importance that might arise before the Court during the summer. Judge Adams next presented the following order which was duly approved. Ordered that in all cases where the Provi- dent Savings Bank holds the notes or other evidence of indebtedness of any person or per- sons, and such person has a current deposit in said bank, that the receiver may and shall, in receiving payment of said note or other ev- idence of indebtedness, give credit thereon for the amount of such current deposit and permit such debtor to offset such deposit in paying such note or other evidence of indebtedness. The petition of Geo. W. Sanders was next taken up. Mr. Sanders is a debtor to the bank, evidenced by anote for $5,000, secured by sixty shares of the capital stock of the . Louis Tarpaulin Company. As a set- off he had a deposit account at the bank amounting ‘to $674. There is that dal ance due and there Was also a rotested bill of exchange for $2, dated July 12. Mr. Sanders offered to pay the balance due the bank from him on condition that the receiver would release his security and note. There was no objection to that course On any side and the order was granted. THE NEXT MATTER presented to the court was the claim of John M. Johnson in behalf of the widow of George Etling. The particulars of this petition have already appeared in the POST-DISPATCH. Mrs. Etling received a draft on the National City Bank of New York for $5,000 in payment of her husband’s insurance policy. The draft was turned over to the Provident Bank for collection a few days before the cashier’s flight. Wm. B. Thompson, attor- ney, introduced James Adkins, the Provident teller, on the stand to show thatthe draft was sent on to New York and that the Provident had advices from its correspondent in New York which left no doubt that the draft had been paid. The letter of advice was dated New York, July 8, and it stated that — draft in question was indorsed but not sted. The Court granted an order on the receiver authorizing him to secure from the corre- sponding bank in New York either the return of the draft or the proceeds in cash. Judge fubke then deferred the further hear- ing of the Provident Bank affairs until the afternoon session in order to wrestle with one or two cases of divorce which were specially set forto-day. The matter of restoring last Wednesday's deposits is the chief bone of con- tention and it is subborniy resisted by the creditors among the legal _ fraternity. Ihe following Missouri authorities are quoted in support of the claims of persons who sim- ply left drafts and checks with the bank for purposes of collection: > Mills vs. Post, 76 Mo.—When a trustee mixes trust money with his own so that it cannot be distinguished what particular part is trust mouey and what part is private money, equity will follow the money by taking out the amount due the cestul que trust. Harrison vs. Smith, 88 Mu.—If A holding $1,000 in coin in trust for B places it in a bag or box and mingles with it $1,000 in coin of his own whereby the particular $1,000 of coin of trust money cannot be dis- tnguished from the $1,000 of private money it is, wethink, more consonant with equity tor the chancellor to say he will put his band in the bag an take from it and restore to B his 1,000 of trust money than for him to sav, because of the fact that the money is not ear-marked, and the fact that because of A’s wrongful act in thus mixing the funds one cannot be distinguished from the other that B can take nothing in virtue of the trust, but must tuke his chances with the general creditors of A. RECEIVER THOMPSON. Receiver Thompson said to a Post- DISPATCH reporter to-day :‘‘l am getting letters and per- sonal appeals from depositors asking for pay- ments on account of the first dividend. If they would stop to think a moment it would occur to them t such a course would be ir- regular. I am simply an agent of the Court in this matter, and all my instructions must come from the court direct. While I have ail faith in the most satisfactory settlement of all claims axainst the Provident Bank, we can only proceed to liquidate in the regular way. As soon as the collections war- rant the announcement of a dividend that dividend will be declared. Ishali be very glad to get this estate out of my hands as quickly as possible and there will be no vexatious de- lay, waiting for assets torealize in larger sums on See ae an advance in the real estate market. propose to realize on everything promptly.’ When do you think a statement of the bank’s actual condition, value of the assets, etc., will be ready for publication?’’ „Well, it will take several days yet to over- haul the accounts. We have to be ac- curate in handling all figures in detail and every ggg account must be scrutinized closely. We are losing no time, and hope to make a complete report to Court in afew days. We have discovered nothing to obstruct or delay the work. JUDGE ADAMS, the receiver’s attorney said: The examina- tion thus far at the bank shows that the worst isknown. The defaication will not exceed the figures already quoted in the Post-Dispatcn. If anything should de- velop, however, the receiver, true to his sense of duty to the depositors, will give it to the press. There is but one aim in ties matter and that is to make rapid ons, realize promptly on the realty and divide among the depositors in the shortest space of time possible. As to the fugitive, another attorney is looki after him and that branch of the case, and hope he will be found.

He expected that the old entleman would make up the deficit and that a break would be avoided. His father, however, has thus far only signified his intention of making — his proportion as surety on his son's ond. THE DEPOSITORS’ MEETING called atthe office of Mr. Merriwether in the Singer Building for 10 a.m. was held. Nothing of a decisive nature was done. The advisability. of pooling their claims by signing them over to r. Shmpson of the Corticelli Silk Company and having suit brought by him for the recov- ery of money deposited on and after Monday the 12th inst. was discussed. The ad- visability of protesting against the appoint- ment ot Mr. W. H. Thompson as receiver was also talked over, but no course was decided upon in either matter. Some of the depositors were averse to turning over their claims to another party. Several lawyers have claims of two or three clients in their possessions, and will bring in- dividual suits to-morrow. — — ee THE PURSUIT OF THOMSON. The Police Still Inactive Because of Lack of Formal Complaint. The Provident Bank officials seem to atill think that they can get along very nicely with the Thomson matter without the assistance of the police. No report of the defaication has yet been Of this Chief Hueb- Heis positive that when made to the department. ler is „ certain. ex-Judge Jones cailed on him the other day he di not give bim formal notifica- tion of the matter, but said he would call again to report it. Until the mat- ter has been properly reported the police will not touch the case, as they have no power to arrest a man against whom no complaint has ever been made. Officially they do not know that Almon B. Thomson isa de- faulter, and therefore have no right to arrest him. Sofaras the police are concerned, could walk the streets of St. Louis with im- punity at the present time. There is certainly something back of this failure to make any report of the defalcation to the authorities, and the police think that a compromise is being effected whereby the money taken by Thomson will be paid by his father or other parties and there will be no prosecution. The Grand-Jury and the Bank. This afternoon the Grand-jury discussed the Provident Savings Bank failure. Mr. Ewing Sloan, the foreman of the Grand-jury, was among the depositors of the defunct bank, a fact which might affect any indictments returned in the bank matter under the present organization of body. An indictment is not for purpose of extradition if Thomson is found in Canada, as under the Canadian laws, such roceedings aretaken on warrants sworn to efore a ‘*magistrate.’’ With a charge of extraditable crime it would not be necessary to procure any further warrant than that issued by the Prose- cuting Attorney of the Court of Criminal Cor- rection. An indictment alone would not suf- fice. Thercfore it will not be necessary for the Grand-jury totake up the matter before September, except to develop any other crim- inai responsibility that may be suspected. — — eee ͤ wmßę4ů — FRACTURED HIS SKULL. A Row Between Two Negroes Results Fa- tally for One. At 9 o' clock this morning Sergt. Sommers of the Fifth District, learned that Lincoln Hub- bard, a negro 23 years of age, living with his family at No. 2006 Papin street, had died rather suddenly. On investigating the matter he learned that Hubbard had been in a row yes- tesday afternoon between 4 and 5 o’clock at Twentieth and Gratiot streets and that he had been beaten over the head with stones by anegro named Mitehell. This was all the information be could obtain concerning the trouble. Nothing could be gleaned regarding the origin of the fight or the number of parties engaged in it. ubbard’s skull is supposed to have been fractured and his death is believed to have resulted from the beating he received. Nothing positive was learned in regard to this, however, and it is possible that apoplexy or some other ail- ment may have caused death, Sergt. Sommers, after learning of the trouble, re- ported it to his Captain, and he reported it to Chiet Huebier. The police of both the Central and Fifth Districts are now at work on the case and hope to have all the facts in the affair b efore the day is out. Further investigation of the trouble which Hubbard was in shows that it occurred at 5:30 p. m. yesterday at Twenty-third and Gratiot streets, and that be and Theo- dore Mitchell were the only N in the trouble. Mitchell struck Hubbard in the right temple with a stone 2 the fight andthen left. Hubbard went to his bome, an was found dead in bed this morning. It is not known at just what hour he died, and there had been no physician summoned to at- tend him. There is little doubt, however, but that death was the result of the blow struck by Mitchell. As a stone is not classed asa deadly weapon only a case of mansiaughter can be made out against him. esides this nawe of Theodore Mitcheil, he is also known as Charley itchell and Chuck head. He is supposed to reside in Carondelet and to work at the Vulcan. As yet he has not been arrested. He is a brown skin negro, about 5 feet 7 inches high and has a small moustache. GAVE HIMSELF UP. Theodore Mitchell, the negro who killed Lincoln Hubbard, gave him- self up to the police this afternoon. He says he met Hubbard at the above place last night and Hubbard wanted a nickel from him. Mitcheil refused to give him the money and Hubbard wanted to butt him. When Mitchell also declined to engage in 3 butting match, Hubbard placed his hand to bis hip pocket as if to draw a weapon, and Mitchell picked up a stone anc hit him with it. BRADY BOUN CED. Dick {Lancaster’s New Appointee at Outs with His Master. Civil-service reform leaven is work- ing in Oollector Tancaster’s official bread, or else the little agita- tion that has stirred up the dough means nothing. Last Saturday night the brief career of Mr. Ben Brady, as night watch- man, ceased, an formerly at the Four Courts, was put in his place. Mr. Brady’s official existence was scarcely a week old and its brevity has caused the inquiry whether his dismissal was caused by Saturday against bim, or whether Lancaster has come to believe that it is an expenditure of too much nerve to put an able-bodied young fellow in place of acrippied ex-Union soldier like the dismissed Hubier. The impression at the Custom-house is that t indictment cooked Mr. Brady’s official goose, although one or two over-ardent civil-service reformers hug the other possibility to their breast. Mr. Howard is a quiet, elderly man who began office-holding under the Overstolz regime, and as he has no particular connection with politics, he is quite an anomaly as a Lancaster appointee. A SUSPENSION WANTED. Serious Complaint of a Stockholder Made This Afternoon. Samuel K.

The Premier’s Resignation to Reach the Queen Wednesday—Result of the Elec- tions—Salisbury Returning to England— Panama Canal Bonds—Fourteen Sailors Drowned—Foreign News. , Special Cablegram to the Post-Dispatch. LONDON, July 19.—There is no change in the political situation. The Cabinet meeting Sat- urday night was in favor of immediate resigna- tion. This will be formally agreed upon at the council to-morrow. In all probability Gladstone’s resignation will be inthe Queen’s hands by Wednesday. A day or two will be wasted in the Queen’s summons of Hartington to forma Ministry, which he will decline to do. By Saturday Salisbury will have accepted the task and be engaged in formingta Cabinet. As examples of political journalism in high places here, the following may be interesting. The Times’ editorial says: ‘‘The numerical defeatof the Prime Minister is too crushing to leave him any loop-hole for escape. The analysis of the Liberal party, which we publish to-day, coupled with all but the uni- versal reduction of the polis by which the successful Gladstonians are returned, proves beyond all question thatthe moral authority of the Unionist party is even greater than is indicated by their preponderance in the Com- mons.” To exhibit this insolent falsehood in its true light, I have made the following calcula- tion. In 215 contested borough seats in the United Kingdom, the total of the vote cast, including the Conservatives among the Unionists, was; Unionists, 652,613; Liberals, 613,087. The actual number of members re- turned by these votes is U nionists,149; Liberals, 78. The proper proportion should have been: Unionists, 116; Liberals, 110, or to put itina different way, each Liberal in the Commons pe coeds 8,116 votes, while each Unionist represents 4,409. After these figures all talk of moral authority must be on the Gladstone side. England. O’BRIEN DEFEATED. Lonpon, July 19.—The result of the electoral contest in South Tyrone, where Mr. Wm. O'Brien, editor of United Ireland, Mr. Parnell’s organ, has been running for re-election as the Parnellite candidate against F. W. Russell, Liberal-Unionist, has caused a sensation. Mr. ' O’Brien represented the district in the last House of Commons, having car- ried it by a vote of 3,434 against 2,3#2. obtained by Captain the- Hon. 8. Marwell, Conservative. In the present contest Mr. O’Brien polled 3,382 votes, a loss of 52, while Mr. Russell polled 3,481, defeating Mr. O’Brien by a majority of 9%.

BOND FURNISHED BY THE LAST OF THE INDICTED PARTIES. He Expresses Surprise at His Indictment— How the Indicted Delegates Were Looked After Tracing an Official Leak—An Ad- journment te Be Taken. Barly this morning Mr. Chas. A. Davis called atthe Circuit Attorney's office,on ‘official business,’’ as he himself announced. He stated that he had been out of tqwn, and, see- ing his name connected with the charges of corruption in the House of Delegates, he had decided to make a complete statement to the Grand-jury. Mr. Clover delicately broke the news to Mr. Davis that a bench warrant for attempted bribery was now in the hands of the Sheriff against him, preparatory to an indictment of that title. This, of course, pre- cluded the possibility of Mr. Davis carrying outhis plan. Instead, he went away to get bondsmen and shortly returned.with Messrs. Alvah Mansure and Louis B. Tibbeta, who gave bond for his appearance on the return of an indictment in the sum of $1,500. After the ex- amination of the sureties the principal and his bondsmen proceeded to Judge Van Wagoner’s room. On the way thither ex-Gov. Chas. P. Jobnson plucked the good man’s gown and whispered a few words, which had the effect of decidedly changing Mr. Davis’ mind. Judge Van Wagoner approved the bond and ordered it filed. Mr. Davis was asked if he had any state- ment to make for publication concerning his connection with the House of Delegates. „I was called away to Philadelphia last Mon- day and did not know of this matter untill bought a paper on the train at Terre Haute, Ind. I saw that the Grand-jury was making an investigation. I decided, on my return, to go before that body and make a ful! and com- plete statement of alll knew concerning the matter. I intended to give the yer all the a stails that I ha in my possession. With that purpose in view, I called on the Circuit Attorney this morning, when he told me that a bill was found against me. I knew, of course, as an attorney, that the action ot a Grand-jury was not reversible, and that I could not appear as a witness.’’ Jou can, however, make the statement for publication?’’ „es, Lcould, but this morning I saw a very intimate friend of mine, and he advised me to say nothing, as it might hurt somebody else. ‘What answer have you to make to the charge?’’ „Well, I couldn't be more surprised if an indictment for murder had been returned against me. It is a terrible humiliation for a man who has reached my age.’’ Do you know of the statements made by Delegate Hammerstein?’’ „es, I have read them, and in answer I will say that I never in my life attempted to bribe Mr. Hammerstein or any other man. I never had any conversation with Mr. Ham- merstein but in which he said he would not support the bill. „Did you make a deposit of $1,000 at the Bank of Commerce to be used in influencing legislation on this road?’’ ‘No, sir.“ ‘*Did you make a deposit at that dank?“ „es, Idid. [have had deposits there for some time. „Was this deposit an individual deposit ora deposit for the company?’’ Well, I prefer not talking on this matter. I Wish you would understand that as far as I am personaliy concerned 1 don’t care to conceal anything I would make a complete state- ment. There is neering which have done that I would not willingly speak of, but Iam advised not to discuss this matter on account | of others.’’ . ‘Would your knowledge criminate any one else?“ No, sir, my statement or knowledge would not criminate any one. don’t know of any one doing any criminal act, but I am advised not to discuss the mattgr at present. i will say this, that ifI had gone before the Grand- jury, they would never have returned a bill against me.’’ A PALPABLE DIFFERENCE. When asked what relations he maintained toward the Electric Railway and Power Com- pany, Mr. Charles A, Davis said he was the at- torney of the company. On last Saturday Dr. Wellington Adams, manager of the company, when asked what Mr. Davis’ relations to the company were said: He has none. He is not the attorney of the company, and has no connec- tion with it. He has an office in the same building with me andi naturally consulted with him frequently. The discrepancy of the statements of the co-defendants is appar- ent as well as the importance of the point upon which they vary. THE SEARCH FOR KEENAN. Since the publication of the report that search warrants had been issued against Dele- ates Pishon and Kecnan, those two gentlemen lave been cared for. Ed Butler walked into the Criminal Court and gave bond for Delegate Pishon’s appearance when the indictinent is returned. Keenan learned of the warrant against him early in the day, and leit his home at the northwest corner of Seventh and Biddle streets. A call was made at the Merchants’ Elevator, where he is employed, but no nfor- mation given. ‘he elevator men, who knew what was wanted, asked with scorn if anyone thought they were going to turn him np. They stated that a Mr. Coakly had called there earlier for bim. It was learned that Keenan had started for Mr. D. P. Slattery’s house, as Mr. Slattery was confined to his room. An unknown man calied early at Keenan’s Aouse and expressed a strong desire for tke first in- terview. At tho Sheriff's office Wm. Gooley of the Standard Theater waited several hours to get the Delegate's ear first. In the meantime Mr. James utler, a son of Ed Butler, was about in a buggy inak- ing inquiries for the missing Delegate, who was finally caught up with before ne was caught by the Sheriff. Jim Sullivan of the Twelfth Ward, who was to have been a wit- ness before the Grand-jury, wore a less un- easy countenance on Friday and Saturday than he did during the earlier portion of the Week. HAMMERSTEIN’S STATEMENT. Concerning the charge of attempted bribery against Dr. Wellington Adams and Mr. Charles A. Davis, Delegate Hammerstein, upon whose evidence the indictments will be based, made the following statement to a reporter: ‘*When this Electric Railway & Power Com- 222 measure was first rushed through the ousel had avery strong impression that money had been freely used to lubricate its passage, and aiter the bill came before us the second time I determined to satisfy myself, I met Dr. Adams inthe committee-room and he informed me that I could make by eapporting the bill. I immediately in- formed Messrs. Marriott and Stone of the offer, and they insisted upon my acceptance of the money, which was then to be placed upon the clerk’s desk in open session. I did not approve of this for several otent reasons. Shortly after this pose to Dr. Adams about a statement I ad noticed in a newspaper which said that some members had received $1,000 for their aid in pushing the bill. 1 don’t be- eve, replied Dr. Adams, ‘that any of them ot over $500.

Nxw YoRK, July 19.—Fire broke out between 1 and 2 o’ciock this morning in the stationery store of G. & A. Wolf, at 551 East Sixteenth street, which is a four-story tenement house, tenanted by eight families, numbering about seventy peo- ple. The flames were seen by a passer-by, who sent out an alarm, he occu- ants of the third ‘and fourth oors, who had been awakened by the smoke ascending through the building, escaped by running to the roof and going onto an adjoin- ing building. Mrs. Mohr, her husband and three rown sons, wholived onthe second floor, made for the fire-escape and in descending the woman fell and received injuries from which she will probably die. Mr. and Mrs. Merkes lived on the same floor with two chil- dren. The couple got safely to the street but in their hurry owerlooked the two young children, Mary aged 9 years, and Frederick 8 years old Policeman Cox, whoin recognition of his bravery has already been presented with a medal by Congress, hearing of the children left behind, ascended to the roam and rescued them in a half suffocated condition. Atter the fire had been extinguished August Nimbach, a German sawyer, who occupied a room on the third floor, was found lying on his stomach half senseless near hisroom. He revived on being taken into the air. Dorin the opening of the North End Row- ing Club-house yesterday a boy fell from a raft at the foot of Ferry street, and James Snodgrass pulled him out just as he was going under the raft. MONEY.

There no reason for the eariy break, for the stocks are being reduced and receipts are getting smaller, not equaling the shipments by 50,000 or 75,000. The corn pit has taken the preference to-day, and at one time had nearly all the wheat scalpers in there trading. Lester, Seckel & Brega’s men were among the buyers, and av times the whole crowd were seemingly on that side. Wheat was very quiet until II o’clock, when the visible came out, and then went up Neat a lick and the whole advance was fully a cent. Tne large increase that was talked of last week dwindled down to 600,000, and the boys thought they had better get out and they did. The cables were firm and cargoes off coast were in good demand, giving a better tone to our markets. The Gaylord crowd were heavy sellers early and were good buyers later, allsupposed to be for Bloom.

The tone of cables, both pub- lic and private, were firm, and Beerbohm quot- ed spot id higher. New York,too,was firm, with a small increase in her stock, and the feeling there inclined to be bullish, according to pri- vate dipatches. That the visible supply would show a large increase was a generally accepted belief, but also thought to be pretty well discounted. A further decline in the home market was prevented by the way Chicago held up in price. The heavy receipts at all points, amounting to 1,109,000 bu at eleven markets, held off buyers, however. The market ruled‘ unsettled, with fiuc- tuations confined to a small range until shortly after noon. Then Chicago was seen to climb and shortly after- wards that their visi- ble supply report showed only 627,000 bu increase, instead of 2,000,000 bu or even 1,000, bu increase as had been expected.

CLEVELAND’S proclamation against political office-holders has been framed and bung up in each room in the Custom- house in this city, The dark lantern over the frame is another way of expressing A. Ward’s remark: ‘‘N. B., this is sar- kusm.” — 2 — GLADSTONE has decided to resign promptly and conductan uncompromising opposition. I have worked all my life to „deliver suffering people, and I mean to “die as I have lived,” says the G. O. M. His physician thinks there are ten years of giant work in him yet. Ir is rumored that Senator DAwWEs is to be retired and his place filled with a younger and better man. The Senate now has an unusual amount of material that is suitable for retiring; and aconsiderable proportion of the members of that body should be introduced to the bucolic charms of private life at the earliest pos- sible chance. — — — — — Tux Cincinnati Enquirer has favored President CLEVELAND witha black-list of his recently appointed Postmasters in Ohio who, in defiance of his published order, have had themselves elected as delegates to Democratic Congressional Conventions. If they are not permitted to re-elect the Congressmen whd secured Post-offices for them, Ohio politics will soon be reduced to what the late Gov. AL- LEN called ‘‘a d—d barren ideality.” > —_—_ | — — —— Tun passage of the Morrison surplus resolution was a spontaneous concession to an overwhelming popular demand. The despairing protest that goes up from the Wall street money sharks and their accredited mouthpieces is an additional reason for believing in the wisdom and justice of the measure. Certainly no bet- ter way can be found for using the accu- mulated surplus in the Treasury than to pay with it a part of the large national debt and thus diminish the annual bur- dens of the people. = Tne Courier-Journal says: Mr. Glap- ‘*sTrONE should come over to the United „States and go into politics. Here he **could be defeated and still hold a great part of the offices.” This is what Mr. CLEVELAND gets for conducting such a prolonged search for the few indicted or indictable men that are to be found among 5,000,000 Democrats after their long ex- clusion from the temptations and oppor- tunities of office. It takes time to find enough dark-lantern fellows among Dem- ocrats to take the places of the great army of Republican rascals who are to be turned out. KVERY member of the Oregon Legisla- ture who voted to elect Joun Hirrrs - MITCHELL to the United States Senate was retired to private Ute, except one, who was re-elected on the liquor issue. The people repudiated the election of the corporation attorney, and they defeated the Republican nominee for Governor in that State because he was ‘“‘tarred with the same stick.” The Republican United States Senators should think of this be- ore they accept MITCHELL as their leader 8 . 13 5 5 : wh) Sg i 2 i P te * j ; x 2 2 > Z . * 2 3 * COE 7 ˙ F ee eT) Se BD, Sree = N : Jr.! ODS PMR: EEO LEN © -—- H— BLACKMAIL LICENSES, It Mr. CLEVELAND had promptly elimi- nated the Pan-Electrio suitors, root and branch, from his administration, instead of making one of them Indian Commis- sioner, he would have been spared the exploitation of a scandal in that branch of the service as malodorous as any trans- action of the old Republican Indian rings. It seems that Commissioner ATKINS of Tennessee paid partly for his appointment by assigning the Indian tradership at Anadarko, I. T., to the brother of Senator JACKSON of his State, and that the brother aforesaid immediately ‘‘struck” the old trader whom he was to succeed for a half interest in the profits as the price of leaving him in unmolested possession. JACKSON’S neat little black-mailing operation was a proposition to put in the license as equivalent to half the cash value of the whole stock in trade and half the cost of continuing the business, und to allow the old trader half the profits for conducting the business, the other half to be remitted to JACKSON, who proposed to remain at home enjoying with ease and dignity the emoluments of a handsome sinecure. When the old trader objected to the terms he was told that he must accept or he and his goods would be ejected from the reservation by military force. He appealed to his St. Louis merchants, MEYER, BANNERMAN & Co., to intercede and save him from ruin, and they ap- pealed to Senator VEST to protect their customer. This was after Commissioner ATKIns had been appealed to in vain, and had been found determined to stand by JACKSON in his blackmailing operation. Senator VESI's first report to Maj. Ban- NERMAN was that he had prevailed on Ar- KINS to license both the old trader and JACKSON, but in a subsequent letter Vest reports ATKINS as saying that he had seen JacKsON and found it impossible to keep his promise in regard to licensing some other man jointly with JACKSON at Ana- darko. There the matter rests while un- dergoipg investigation by a Senate Com- mittee. In one of his Bannerman letters, Sena- tor VEST says it is simply impossible to do justice to his astonishment at ATKINs’ position in the matter, and that ATKINS seemed determined to put all the Indian Territory traderships in the hands of Mississippians and Tennesseeans. Here is more evidence that the appointment of ATKINS himself was, brought about by bargains in regard to the patronage it would place at his disposal. But the sworn testimony in regard to the Jackson matter alone is sufficient to give Presi- dent CLEVELAND a fine opportunity to stop talking and begin acting in behalf of civil- service reform. THE ENGLISH OUTLOOK. Mr. GLADSTONE refers as follows to his supposed intention of retiring from pub- lic life: 1 have worked all my life to “deliver suffering people, and I mean to “die as I have lived.“ It is his intention to resign office at once and lead an uncom- promising opposition to the new Tory Government. The Irish question now so far transcends all others in the minds of the English people that some measure for the reform of Irish affairs will have to precede all other important legislation. The Tory leaders have enough sa- gacity to perceive this, and there can be-no doubt that the Tory or coalition Ministry soon to be formed will hasten to bring in a comprehensive bill for the reliefof Ireland. In framing such a measure they willbe apt to concede everything tut legislative independence in order to allay Irish discontent and keep the Tories in power. But if the Conserv- atives intend to carry out their recent campaign pledges and promises they will have to withhold the one thing without which the Irish will never be satisfied nor cease their agitation, and that is local autonomy. The relative positions of En- land and Ireland make the independ- nce of the latter country impossible; * 0 7 J > : Ne va “ 92 Riga Ay LV.

Enn —— SENATOR Vest is so much worried over the publication by the Post-Disratcs of the news of his absence from the Senate when the St. Louis bridge bill was called up and went over that he has got a cer- tificate from Senator MCMILLAN which, added to his own. explanation, sets him right. The substance of it all is: Ist, that he does not think he was absent from the Senate chamber at the time; 2d, if if he was absent it was for not more than five minutes; 3d, it would not have made any difference if he had been present, asunder the rules one objection threw it over and the Senator All the same there is a wide-spread conviction that if the question had been the confirmation of a job appointee and not the. bridge bill, Senator VEST would have been on hand and would have reasoned the Senator from Ohio out of his objections. — — — — WHEN the President accepted his nomi- nation he included in his letter of accept- ance a profession of undying devotion to civil-service reform and after his election he filled the offices in St. Louis with states- men who consider reform a howling joke. Now he has issued a proclamation against politics in federal offices, but we do not believe that this indicates any new and wider departure from his original pro- gramme. —ͤä a — — WASHINGTON CITY begins to need a Dakota simoon. -— FRANCE has reached the bloodless duel stage of civilization. SUMMER seems to be the best of THOMSON’S Seasons for rapid transit. Ir is important to check the receding cash- ier before he checks his baggage. THE office cat of the New York Sun is trying to eat thirty Presidential aspirants in thirty days. _ — PROHIBITIONISTS have been notified that Vicksburg has all the water she can use at present. - OUR unmasked Delegates should follow the example of the repentant cashier and publish a confession. WHEN it becomes fashionable to have hog races, the Chicago race track will shine witha strange new glory. -— THE indicted Delegates are commended to Surveyor LANOASTER as congenial material for appointment purposes. THE generous columns of the Post- DISPATCH are open for the confessions of erring and re- pentant cashiers and municipal officials. No SAGACIOUS President will place a blind and unlimited confidence in the ‘‘yellow dog majority’’ of a Democratic state. Big major- ities do not justify execrable appoint ments. — — THE Thomson confession was one of those characteristic little ‘‘mare’s-nests’’ which the POST- DISPATCH gathers in so frequently to the astonishment of our dumbfounded contempo- raries. - Sou of our local contemporaries appear to think that Sir CHARLES DILKE is of more inter- est to St. Louis people than the municipal goy- ernment of the city. This is journalism witha very little j. — Our Minister in London. From the Louisville Courier-Journal. The objection to resident envoys from a re- public, like ours, near aroyal court, like that of England, is the inequality to which they are subjected, which, though it may not be wounding to a mean-spirited fellow, glad to hang on the outskirts of patrician society, is an affront, and ought to be an offense, to the national pride. I have seen several ministers near the Court of St. James, and, with one or twoexceptions, each of them was ‘‘a poor boy at a frolic.’’ Our Minister in London, having no rank or title, and very scanty pay, stands almost at the foot of the diplomatic column. If heis popular in society he must obtain his popu- larity somewhat atthe expense of his country. He must pander to the aristocracy, and, in- stead of standing upon his simple republican dignity, the position of his nation, and the weight of his character, he must and he doss more or less become a tuft-hunter and a toady. I do not mean that the American Minister in London should wrap the American flag about him and perform. I do not mean that he should stick his legs in a pair of Irish jack - boots and whoop up the boys. But I do say that popularity in England for a Minister of the United States means the subordination of American to British ideas, and the adoption by the minister of a complete British outfit. Mr. Phelps showed that he had done this, or was seeking to do it, when he tickied the Tories by the conceit that nobody in America but a riff-raff of demagogues, seeking the Irish vote, sympathized with Mr. Gladstone in his home-rule fight, and then, thinking to reinstate himself in the good graces of the riff-raff, our genial but inexperienced repre. sentative hurries down to the footlights to i jon preside at a midnight supper given in honor of a variety clog- dancer. Extradition of Cashiers. From the Philadelphia Times. The reported revision, which is said to in- clude the extradition gf dynamiters, will prove very unsatisfactory if it does not provide for the extradition of the rascals who pocket the savings of other people and cross the Domin- ion line to enjoy the ill-gotten money. Itis quite possible that if any revision of the treaty is contemplated this feature is receiving proper consideration. If it isnot, the State Depart- ment should lose no time in urging its incor- poration into the proposed revision. The ras- cals who occupy positions of trust of this kind and appropriate the depositors’ money gre greater criminals than the men who break open bank vaults by the devices of the cracks- man. f Better Practice than Preach. From the New York WorLD. Would not one single practical act be worth a score of letters? Would notthe official de- capitation of a single one of the numerous offending office-holders exercise a more re- straining influence over the Heads of De- partments in the service of the General Gov- ernijent’’ than a whole volume of written ee era?’ . It is always better to practise than to preach, | * 24 * * 1 f oe „ . 8 l Mrs. James A. Harris will leave with ber family on Wednesday evening for Detroit and the North western lakes.

OBSERVE CLOSELY THE DIFFERENCE BE- n t n THE COAL SYNDICATE. THE BIG CONSOLIDATION FORMALLY CON- SUMMATED BY ORGANIZATION TO-DAY. Election of Directors and Officers—A Bur- glary Which Did Not Pan—A Mysterious Suicide—News from East St. Louis. On last Saturday morning Mr. Nick Straubel, ho keeps a saloon in Illinoistown, discov- red that during the night his place had been burglarized. The cash drawer had been ‘broken open, but the burglar had only ob- tained a nickel for his trouble. On a table near by was a glass with a little liquor in it, and it vas evident from the amount of liquor that was missing that the burglar had endéavored to submerge his sorrow at not finding much worth carrying off. Last night Officers O’Neil and Dowd rested two men on guspicion and wh brought to the police station they gave their names as Robert Burns and Frank Williams. When Burns was searched a pipe was found in his possession which answered the description of one taken from Straubel's, and when accused of the burglary he confessed. He said he had effected entrance through a window and having broken open the cash drawer and found but a single 56-cent piece, he took several drinks of brandy and then put a bottle inhis pocket, and Ailling a pipe which he found 6n the counter, lititand took his de- parture. ‘Squire Bunyan, before whom he was given a preliminary hearing this morning, bound him over in the sum of $300 and he was sent to Belleville. As there was nothing against Williams he was released. Aman who gave his name as Robert Asher was found near the Green Tree Hotel yester- nay mornin 2 an ugly cut in the back of his head. Wiggins dressed the man’s wounds and "he was then sent to the County Hospital, His story is that he and a man named Simpstick came here from Edwards- Ville Saturday, and that they quarreled yester- day 8 near Grogs’ saloon on Dyke av- 2 and his companion cut him and then n. Owens and Ben Feller of this city, whi out hunting in the woods near Indian ake yesterday, discovered the badly decom- posed body of a man under atree with a hand- erchief tied tightly about his neck. As a ‘tripofan undershirt was suspended from — tree under which he was hans it was evident that he had bunt himselt and that the improvised rope ‘ad broken.

The New York World Circulates 240,130 Cop- ies of Its 24-Page Sunday Edition. By Telegraph to the PosT-DISPATCR. New YoRK, July 19.—The WORLD says to-day: ‘*Yesterday the WORLD printed and circulated 240, 130 copies of a twenty-four page paper. For the firsttimein the history of American journalism this magnificent figure of circula- tion was achieved in a season universally re- garded as the dullest of the yearand with no special news whatever to sti te a demand for newspapers upon the part of the public. It is fair to estimate that 100,000 New Yorkers are out of the city at this time. Many are at mountain resorts, country boarding-houses, or across the Atlantic, where the WorLp does not penetrate. But the Wortp is carried by special train to all the accessible summer resorts, and the great reading public goes on declaring its prefer- ence for the foremost newspaper of the kind. Yesterday’s edition of the WORLD was nearly three times what it was in the height of the Presidential campaign of 1884, and nearly eighty thousand greater than at the corre- sponding period one year ago. When we take into consideration the fact that just three years ago the circulation of the daily WorLD was 24, 770 copies, some idea can be formed of the enormous and phenomenal growth of the paper. The WORLD never enjoyed greater pu lic favor. Its hold upon the discriminat- ng reading masses was never firmer. It would seem that its growth can only be lim- ited by — and * capacity.

OrTawa, Canada, July 13.—I propose this evening to take those of my readers who wish to accompany me on a trip Northward. This is the season for excursions, but every one’s purse is not sufficiently plethoric to afford these expensive luxuries. Most persons can afford a nickel, however, and for the outlay of that sum we can journey in imagination from this semi-tropical city to the cooler regions of the North, visitthe far-famed Thousand Islands and the wild rapids of the St. Lawrence, branching off thence to investigate the beauties of a river not our own, and conolud- ing our trip with a long rest at the pretty little town of Ottawa, Ont., capital of the Dominion. I consider the St. Lawrence the most bean- tiful river in America, just as the Ottawa is undoubtedly the most beautiful in Oanada. Tothose who love grander aspects of nature 1 they present one continuous succession o beauties from Kingston to the Gulf and from Montreal to Lake Abiltibi. Let us take one of these mail steamer which ply between the two former points. We shall have risks to run, but they are reduced to a miginum b experience, watchfulness and _ care. We shall enjoy. ourselves all the more for feeling that only a plank divides us from the swift and surging torrent which, if once we woo its caresses, will dash us into an unrecog- nizable pulp against the cruel rocks which form the bed of the river. Kingston is situated on Lake Ontario at the- point where the St. Lawrence quits its nurse s apron strings and sets out to MAKE ITS OWN WAY inthe world. A fine, strong, young river, it appears to be quite able to push its own fortunes, and, like all young and untried nat- ures, ina great hurry to make the goal. On it courses, and we with it, pushing America aside with one hand and spurning the advances of Canada with the other; widening, deepen- ing and quickening ite current as it advances, until upon its ample breast appear one by one the beautiful islets to which we have given the name of the Thousand Islands. Turning for awhile to our companions on the boat, a numerous throng, for this line of boats ia extensively patronized, we shall be interested to notice how each one behaves amid these beauties of nature. Hereis a man who, with barely a glance at the islands, is discussing the lumber — 2 — and plannin a raft of colossal size that he proposes to floa down the river later in the season. A certain number are reading or engaged in conversa- tion. Either they know the river well or else such trifles are above their notice. A few are really interested, and are enjoving the exquisite beauty of the scenery as only true lovers of nature can appreciate the gifts she scatters with such lavish hand. There are always two or three persons on each boat who count the islands to see if there really are a thousand. A primrose by the river’s brim A yellow primrose is to them, And nothing more. Meanwhile, one by one, threes, appear the GLORIOUS EARTH-JEWELS in their emerald setting; growing larger as we approach, then fading into dots in the re- treating distance; some polished only by the hand of nature, while others are improved by the efforts of man. Now and aguin, especially on some of the larger islands, we noticea tasteful cottage nestling in its bed of leaves, while one lovely spot has been sacrificed to the necessity of a hideous hotel and club- house. As mile after mile is left behind, the islets become more scattered and smaller, then fewer and fewer, till at length we only see them at long intervals. As we proceed we become aware ofa dull, 8 sound ahead, which we presently find to arise from a long line of foam a mile or so down the river. What is thatjline of foam? It is the Sault (pronounced Zoo) St. Regis, the first of the succession of rapids, which makes navigation on the St. Law- rence so difficult and dangerous a problem. When we approach there is a slight stir in the boat, the Captain walks aft to assist the helms- man at the wheel, while his place on the bridge is taken by the first mate. Strong, sinewy, experienced and determined, as are the little French-Canadian voyageurs who man these boats, they are not quite strong enough to hold the helm ofa large steamer in the rigid course she has to follow through the rapids. One inch to the left, one finger’s length to the right, and but few of her passen- gers would ever see their homes again. On we steum; the clear blue water racing past us on s course, as though it were hur- rying forward to whisper to the rocks that we are coming. We approach the line of foam, the Captain and helmsman compress their lips; their hands take afirmer grasp of the wheel, and their eyes look straight forward atthe water. The boat takes a header, as though she were investigating a short cut to New Zealand ; there is a graze here, a crunch there, A DASH OF FOAM into our faces, a wave over the deck, a shriek from the ladies, and we aré once more steam- ing upon the smooth waters with the treacherous rocks and whirlpool in our rear. Are all the dangers of theriver passed? Shall we steam now to Montreal over clear and sparkling waters, free from dangér and the necessity for fear? No,my friends; we have scarcely begun yet. The Sault St. Regis is the smallest and most insignificant of all the rapids on the St. Lawrence. We have five or six yet before us, any one of which is longer and more dangerous than the one we have passed. Wehave not proceeded many miles before a louder and duller roar is heard than the one which greeted us at the foot of the Thousand Isles. Looking ahead we see, nota line, but a wall of foam, behind which lies a long stretch of frantic, Waping waves as far as the eye can reach. This ia called the Long Sault, about five miles in length. Several boats have been wrecked here, principally fishingsmacks. We shall see the dismantied hull of one as we pass, fixed tightly between the rocks. Shall we be wrecked? No. Our Captain was born among these rapids and cradled to thesong of the water nymphs who sport amid the rocks. He knows every rock in the river. He has guided boats amid them for forty years, and has never made a mistake or met + ith an accident. We may trust ourselves in his hands. Those firmly set lips, and the steely glitter of his eye, as he whirls the wheel tothe left and again to the right, mean that he intends to carry us through safely. And hedoes. What matters it that our ship is at an angle of thirty degrees, that she is spinning along in the rushing torrent at the rate of twenty miles an hour; that she heels over = her right deck almost dips into the surf, when a huge wave, almost oceanic in its size and strength, dashes over her and bears her over on the other side? What matter those hideous sunken rock we nearly graze on our right, or that seething whirlpool that longs to embrace uson our left? In fifteen minutes we make a bolt through the last whirlpool, dash overand through the last pile of rocks and tumbie, as’ it were, or in twos and INTO THE SMOOTH WATER at the foot of the rapids. The boat rights her- self and we draw our breath. There are two more rapids to pass, then a long stretch of smooth water, and finally we come to the last and most 8 rapid ot of all—the Sault Lachine. ere there is no question about the — One ot these ver boats was wrecke in these rapids not two years ago and we may see its remains perched high and dry ona ledge of rock over which the Captain had incautiously ventured. | We stop at the head ofthese rapids. Our captain with ali his skill and courage may not guide us through the Saulte Lachine.

French Canadians, which is always breaking outin one formor another. The French of Montreal, by. the way, are more Frenchified than the French themselves. The waxed mustachios, the jaunty Parisian air, the Paris fashions, and alas! the Paris vices are all care- fully studied and practiced, to the intense dis- ust of the sturdy, straightforward British anadians, who would sell their nation to be rid of them. o But we have set outto study nature, not cities, and with thisend inview we will pat- ronize one of the steamers of the St. Lawrence and Ottawa Navigation Company. The lower Ottawaisa singularly beautiful river, rapid and shallow, running through milesof wild scenery, swamp and primeval forest. One of the prettiest bits of scenery, however, is spoilt to travelers by boat. About half way between Montreal and Ottawa some rapids occur which are considered 80 dangerous as to be absolutely unsafe for public travel. Accordingly the company have built aline of railway around, and on arriving atthe rapids all the passen- gers leave the boat and take to the railway, resuming their journey on the river at the foot of the rapids. This, of course, would always have to be done in ascending the river, but there is no chance of seeing the rapids, even on our return journey. At its best, however, the Lower Ottawa can- not compare in beauty of scenery to the upper river, which lies above the Chandiere Falls and the city of Ottawa. The latter is built upon the former on the border line between Ontario and Quebec, a quiet, inoffensive little town, situated in the heart ofthe loveliest scenery. Its interests are about ually di- vided between the Legislature and the lumber trade. It is the Washington of Canada. A bridge is built across the river afew yards below the falis, and one can stand thereon, either at ‘‘midnight’’ orany other time, and admire the awful splendor of THAT BOILING CAULDRON, whose seething waters can suck into its inte- rior anything that comes within a mile of its vortex. Many have pronounced the Chandiere Falls to be at least us impressive as those of Ni- agara. But I think there is no comparison and no possibility of comparison. The Niagara Falls owe their sublimity to their appalling height and the immense quantity of water that they represent. Chandiere has nosuch pre- tentions. The depth of the fall is not ten feet, the quantity of water meagre; but for the grandeur of the surrounding scenery, the extraordinary ower with which the water is sucked into the seething vortex, the cauldron-like aspect of the whole (the word chandiere means kettle or cauldron), and the peculiar formation of its rocky bed, the Chandéere Falls stand alone and are in- comparable. Chandiere appears to oweits existence to some terrific convulsion of nature. The water falls into a succession of huge clefts, as if some mighty hand had hewn apart the solid rocks with a colossal ax. One could imagine a terrific explosion of dynamite beneath to produce just such an effect. Thanks to the enterprise ofacouple of lumbermen whose great, ugly mills stand like sentinels on either side of the falls, one can walk over the river to the falls themselvés, and standing right over the cata- ract, gaze down into its depths safely. Above the falls are a succession of MAGNIFICENT RAPIDS nine miles oe which nojboat could live for a single second. I believe that Iam not mis- taken when I say that navigation has never been attempted for many miles above the falls, ang the chances are it never willbe. Ottawa is one of the most northerly settlements in Oanada, and shortly above that point civiliza- tion comes toan end. Advanced civilization, I.should say, since hundreds of miles in every direction are about equally shared by the lum- berman and the Indian. The life of the former is peculiarly bard. Separated from his fam- ily for nine months out of the twelve, wretchedly paid, insufficiently clothed, and often half starved and almost frozen, his workisthe hardest manual labor known to man—the felling and hauling of heavy trees to be dispatched in rafts down the river. In spite of allthese drawbacks he yet contrives to be a very picturesque object, with his log shanty (the lumbermen live in gangs) and his bright blue or red overall. He ls rough but réady,’’ always ready to do a good turn for a fellow-lumberman, and wily as a very serpent in dealing with the treacherous In- dians, who are always on the watch to steal his bag of pemmican or any other of his meager property upon which they can lay their hands. We shouid like to follow him up the river, visit his haunts and listen tothe broad, French-English patois in which he will be only too glad to discourse to us On any subject within the limits of his expe- rience or intelligence. He can tell us of fearful adventures by.forest, stream and prairie; he ean describe more of the natural habits of the wolf, bear, mink, catamount, wolverine and tother wild animals than can be gleaned from all the works on natural history in the Mercantile Library; he can amuse us by the hour with tales of Indian braves and squaws, that will arouse both our mirth and our fear— but this must not be. The editor will promptly remind me that the entire paper cannot be placed at my disposal; that he requires some columns for news, so we will complete our excursion at Ottawa, from which point we the way we came, or come home by Niagara, Buffalo and the lakes with- out materially increasing the expense of our journey.

The Wyandotte Freight Train Accident—Sey, eral Knights of Labor in Kansas City Arrested for Participation in the Act- How the Scheme Was Worked. The mystery surrounding the wrecking of a freight train, which occurred at 3 o'clock on the morning of April 26 half a mile south ot Wyandotte, Kan., has been cleared up by the Missouri Pacific secret service. There are now in custody Richard Hamilton Mike Leary, O. J. Lloyd. Robert Giear, Wm, Vossen and Fred Newport, who are charged with causing the derailing ot tha train. It is also charged that these men are Knights of Labor and were strikers. The train derailed was a freight. u was moving ata high rate of speed and wa almost within whistling distance of tl town when the rails spread, the engine struck the ties, rebounded, turned on its side and went down the bank into the Kaw River, taking several cars with it. Ben F. Horton, the fireman, and Geo. Carlisle, head brakeman, were on the tender when the rails gave, and were .caught underneath the broken boiler of the engine, whers they were slowly scalded to death. It was not hard to discover the cause of the accident. Spikes dad been drawn for the —_ of two rails on the side near the river, and fish-plates and bolts had been drawn from fifty-one ties, plainly showing some ersons had planned that there should be a wreck there. The local authorities were unable to find out who had executed the de. tails ofthe plan. The railroad people said is was the work of _ strikers; the latter said the railroad officials had caused it to be done to reflect on the strikers. Furlong, the Missouri Pacific detective, began to work in the case. He found a wig near the scene of the wreck. A Kansas City hair dealer identified it as one he had sold to Richard Hamilton; a striker, who said he was going to ‘‘slug some scabs.’’. It was learned that on the night before the accident a party of men had crossed the river from Kansas City to Wyandotte, and the man rented them the boat said one the party was disguised with awig. He gave some good descriptions of the men who occupied the boat that led the detective to suspects me Kansas City Knights. Finding it impossible to secure proofs against them, Furlong concocted a scheme to secure a confession. His base of opera- tions was Oliver J. Lioyd, one of the loudest of those who favored extreme methods of arbitration with the railroad company. Lloyd was arrested May 5 for throwing switches and locked up at Kansas 1 Furlong had suc. ceeded in learning 1 the secret won of the Knights of Labor and in obtaining the latest passwords and signs. The detective then imparted this information totwo of his operatives who, under the nom Knights on the strength information con- cerning the order they had obtained. The Sheriff, who isa Knight, was taken in and to him ‘‘Alfred’’ represented himself to bea se- cret agent of Powderly, sent to remove, if possible the odium of unlawful acts om the order. He easily secured an interview with Lloyd, who was told the same story. After gaining his confidence and that of his attorney, ‘‘Al(réd’’ secured Lloyd's release on bond. Mr. Frank Tutt, counsel for the Missouri Pacific, opposed the release and said he had another charge against 3 This frightened the latter, and he readily acceded to ‘*Alfred’s’’ proposition to come to St. Louis. On arrival here the party went to the St. Louis Hotel on North Broadway. There Martel, in the absence of ‘‘Alfred’’ secured a confession from Lloyd. As the de- tective tells the story Lloyd said that he and sixteen others had for some days prior and subsequent tothe wrecking lived at a house, 1909 Union avenue, Wyandotte. Onthe night of the 25th of April he and four others got into a boat and rowed along tbe river bank to where the section boss’ box of tools was standing. . found there the claw-bar lying outside the box, and not, as that official stated, in the box. The box was never broken open. They went to work about 2:30 O clock, and tore up the rails ina few minutes’ time, got into the skiff, rowed back and went to the place where they had been lodging. They heard of the wreck the next morning. „I was,’’ he said, ‘‘tickled to death when! heard of the wreck, but I didn’tlike the Kill ing of the men. I said that it would hurt the order, but if ay own brother was under that wreck I’m —— if I'd go astep to get him out if he was a ‘scab.’ ’’ On Alfred’s return he was told of the con- fession, and that evening Furlong called un- der the name of Mr. Thomas with another man who was introduced as Col. Davis. The whole story was told them with the object of seeing how far any defense (Lioyd might suggest would 0 toward saving him. After iscussing defenses, ‘‘Col. Davis said they were all worthless and 12 that Lloyd go to Kansas City and get all the men impii- cated in the wrecking to leave the country. That was best way to avoid convictions. Lioyd consented and boarded a train at the Union Depot the same night with Alfred, Mar- tel, Thomas and Davis. Lioyd is reported to have been in a very gay mood onthe ‘trip and wrote letters to the Mayor of Kansas City, a Knight to whom he introduced Alfred, to his wife and other Knights. When Pacific was reached, the detective’s comedy having been fully 1 as to Lloyd, he was introduced to Mr. Thomas — Furlong, and in that introduction made aware ot the 9 he had tallen into. He was placed under arrest and removed from the train, at Independence where he was placed in a special car on a sid- ing under guard. There he made a written confession to Inspector Bunnell, in which he changed some ofthe detail facts of his oral confession but held to its material outline. This wastaken to Kansas City, and Sheriff Ferguson was sent for. When he learned ‘‘Aifred’s'’ true character he entered into arrangements to effect the arrests, which were made this morhing by the Sheriff aud Furlong. For the Illumination Fund.

A Saloon-Keeper Tries to Handle Three Dis- turbers of the Peace. John Donahne keeps a saloon at Twentieth and Eugenia streets and keeps a few pool tables at the place. Yesterday Charles Gross- man of Nineteenth and Popiar streets and 3 couple of other young men werein the place playing pool and got into a dispute about a shot. They had all been drinking rather freely and Donahue, who was carrying more liguid> than his constitution was capable of conveniently holding, endeavored to settle the trouble, when the three united forces and jumped on him. He picked up a cue and struck Grossman over the oy cutting anugly gash above his right eye. Donahue’s right eye was blacked and his nose badiy swollen. Both parties presented sorry pictures when they were arranged be- fore Judge Cady this morning on counter charges of disturbing the peace. They had made up and Grossman pleaded guilty and took all the blame on his shoulders, which were given an additional load to carry in the shape of a fine of S and costs. Donahue was -barged.

THE SIGNIFICANOE OF THE DUEL BETWEEN BOULANGER AND SENATOR LABEINTY. Col. Tom Ochiltree Discourses on the French Republic— The Nobility Tolerated — The Idea of Republicanism Firmly Estab- lished in France. By Telegraph to the PostT-DIsPaTCnr. New York, July 19.—‘‘Iteli you, sir,“ said Col. Tom Ochiltree, the gifted cosmopolite from Texas, yesterday, as he sniffed the sea breeze from the Oriental at Coney Island, „there is a much deeper significance to this ) duel between Boulanger and the royalist Sen- ator, Lareinty, than appears upon the surface ofthe statement of facts. I don’t care any- thing for the soldierly record of Boulanger, which is specially bandsome, or for the grit of his venerable antagonist; but the moral to be drawn from this personal en- counter lies in the controversy which forced it, and this means the manhood ofthe French republic, now grown so invincibly brave in its logic and methods that it brooks no tyrannical protests from the scions of a blooded past. The day of these gilded butterflies of nobility is happily over in France. They are simply tolerated in the possession of their estates, that were, in fact, founded on brutality and rapine, and out of polite regard to the oid fiction of a titled gentry, which cannot pass away in a day. But the abstract reverence for titles and b lood, so long a part of the creed of the French peasantry, is gone, sir; completely gone. THE IDEA OF REPUBLICANISM that now pervades the common people through every province of France, is a sentiment to- tally unlike the furious passion of revenge for persecution, which fired the peasantry in the days ofthe revolution and made them look upon self-government as a mere refuge from oppression. You can’t notice this so much in Paris. Even the frequeat visitors to France can observe very little change at the capital. But go out into the fields and among tne country districts and there you will find a change growing more marked and marvelous year by year. Internal improvements are springing up on every band, manufactures are sprouting, bridges aie building, rail- roads are spreading and, what is best of all and which appeals more to the practical common sense of the peasantry, France is possessed of a system of school education which it never was aliowed under differs from all the spasmodic efforts of former times there, in the fact that it rests not on arms and ammunition, but on the loyalty, confidence and devotion of the people. Like to draw contrasts? Well, here’s one. Not long ago we got an account of a famous pri- vate circus over in Paris. It was held in the Faubourg St. Germain, the famous old part of Paris, for generations the official town resi- dence of the nobility. Ail the blooded gentry are supposed to have a chateau in the country and a Paris establishment in St. Germain. The account told ofasplendid spectacle, at which Duke This and Marquis That, with a whole mob of Duchesses and Marchionesses,tricked them- selves outin silk and satin tights and furbe- lows and went jumping through hoops,, just LIKE A LOT OF CIRCUS PERFORMERS. Time was hanging heavy on their hands, and this was one of the ways they invented to pass it away, while they were waiting for repubili- canism to run its course and the nobles to re- sume the powers and rquisites of the old regime. By Jove, sir, it reads like one of those tales of tinsel and lunacy which pre- ceded and precipitated the bloody outbreaks of 1792, when throneand castie were leveled to the dust. I remember that among the illustrious poppinjays present on that occa- sion were the Duc de La Rochefoucauld and the Marquis Croizette, scions of the most venerable families in France, and these are the sample idiots who would form the galaxy of State coundilors, who would shape the destinies of France if the Royalist faction shouid return to power. Think of it, in these wonderful days of progress, when science and liberalism have scattered traditions of rank and reverence to the four winds, such worth- less noodles as these are called upon to govern an intelligent race of 40,000,000strong! Dost like the picture? Neither do the peasantry of France. This exile of the Princes and this de- posing of the Orleans and Bourbon figure- heads from positions in the army is simply an act of self - preservation, which any business man would resort to in defense of his in- tæarests, and the republic is displaying a grandly magnanimous spirit tben it allows th scions of nobility to hoid their estates, wrung from the peasantry in the old regime. Pitt, the great commoner, had a tiff with King George when the crowned iffibicile wanted to place her son, the Prince of Wales, in com- mand of the army. It is simply absurd to suffer these royalists in positions where, by intrigue, they can accomplish their ends by instrumentalities maintained and paid for by a tax on the people. No business man would ive his enemy control of his casb-box Not ong ago, when 1 was over in France as the guest of Minister Morton, a ee of us went down to La Pay, he ancient residence of the Lafayettes, to wit ness the unveiling of a monument to the famous revolutionary Marquis. That was nearly tyr et A since the revolution of 1792, and republicanism had made several attempts to assert itself, and yet the influences of mon- archy had been so strong that no monument had been allowed before in France to his memory. Now they can come and multiply, while the Royalists are brushed aside like chaff. It struck me as a splendid iliustration of the settled strength of republicanism, that the resent owner of the illustrious name of ayette which is one of the very oldest Marquisutes in France, has utterly discarded his rank, and giories in signing himself plain Edmond Lafay- ette. Heisagenial old man in the sixties and of the best blood and finest traditions of the country, but his pride consists in bei a Senator of republican Frahce, not of hol a barren Marquisate under a defunct regime.’ Sze ads“ in other parts of this paper how clothing is being sacrificed in the great clearing sale this week at the ; GLOBE, 708 to 713 Franklin avenue.

Weir of the Fifth Regiment Sends a Bu'let Through His Heart. By Telegraph to the PosT-DISPATCH. New York, July 19.—Capt. Julian Verplanck Weir, commanding Battery M, Fifth Artillery, at Fort Hamilton, committed suicide last even- ing by shooting himself through the head. The circumstances ofthe tragedy are pecu- liarly sad. Capt. Weir returned from a week’s tour of duty at Creedmoor Saturday afternoon. His entire family, consisting of a wife and four daughters and sons, were at the wharf to meet him. Before his departure he had com- plained of aserious bronchial affection, but As he on his return affectionately eeted each of his loved ones, he assured bem that his health was much better and that he was sure he had conquered the disease. The Captain slept well during Sat- urday night and arose apparently refreshed. The morning was passed reading the news- apers and chatting with tbe members of his ily. Throughout the day it was noticed that be appeared unusually guy. Never had he seemed so witty or shown more affection. Immediately after dinner, which was con- cluded at about 7:30 o’clock, the Captain sud- denly hurried to his bed-room. He had been gone but a moment when his little daughter Annie followed him to geta match. She was astonished to find her father preparing to retire. ‘‘Why, papa,’’ she asked, „you're not going to bed yet, are your’ „„Never mind, dear, was the rather nervous response. ‘‘What do you want?’’ Oh, only a wanted a match,’’ lisped the little one, having procured which she hurried below. Bearcely had she reached the lower floor when the family were startled by the sound of a gun from above. Mrs. Weir, closely followed by two of ber daughters, rushed up-stairs. They found the door to the Captain’s room locked. Passing around to another room a door was found open. On enterin the chamber they saw the husband and father stretched upon the bed entirely undressed with the exception of a stocking on the right foot. Blood was stream- ing from an ugly wound in the region of the heart. Upon the floor lay a 45-caliber Spring- field rifle, with the barrel empty and the ham- merdown. The Captain was groaning and gasping for breath. Throwing herself upon the body of her husband, Mrs. Weir begged some one to go for a doctor. ‘Surgeon Harts- hoff of the garrison was speedily summoned, but before his arrival Capt. Weir was dead. The news of the tragedy spread quickly. Soon the residence, which stands only a few yards from the barracks, was crowded with ollicers and friends. Col. Hamilton, che commander of the fort, gave directions as to the disposi- tion of the body, and then he and Judge Church sought to DISCOVER THE CAUSE They concluded thgt it was a case of suicide during a moment gf temporary aberration. It had been noticedfor several months, not only by the Captain's family, but by his 1 and subordinates in the garrison, that his dis- ease caused him to appear flighty at times. On examination of the surroundings it was found that the deed had been committed in the most deliberate manner. Each garment the ROSS IN TROUBLE. THE ATHLETE HAS A ROW WITH AN ANGEY ENGLISH MAN. A Scandal Involved in the Difficalty—Daisy Murdock’s Benefit—Base Ball Games— Cassidy Sells Some Horses — Sporting Notes. CurcaGo, July 19.—The relations between Duncan C. Ross, the athlete and swordsman, and Robert V. Ferguson, his advance agent, are somewhat strained. Ferguson is an En- glish comedian, about 85 years old, who was connected until six months ago withone of the Madison Square Theater companies. He was employed by Ross in Denver, and at that time the athlete made the acquaintance of Ferguson’s wife. She is a pretty brunette, about 20 years old, and is known as Ida Val- lance. She is well educated, rich and. an orphan. About four weeks ago Ross, Ferguson and his wife came to Chicago and stopped at the Continental Hotel. Ferguson was sent to Peoria to arrange dates, and he sent his wife to her relatives in Iowa. He claims she did not go to Iowa, but returned to Chicago and met Ross. Ferguson went on Saturday morn- ing to Ross’ room at the Continental Hotel. He attempted to draw a revolver and shoot Ross, but the latter was too quick. He seized the angry littie Englishmen and tore the re- volver from him. Now, if you don’t get out of here, cried Ross, ‘‘I’llthrow you out of that third-story window.’’ Ferguson hurried to the office of Justice Mepps to secure a warrant for Ross’ arrest. Ross seys the stories about himself and Mrs. Ferguson are entirely untrue andthat he ex- pects to be arrested to-day, but says he has no fear of the result of a hearing. — PLAYER’S AVERAGES.

NEW YORK, July 19.—There was high gia among the Chinamen in Mulberry street yes. terday, because their Joss around. the corne: at 202 Chatham square has anew house to live in. In all America there wasn’t a carpente; tobe trusted with the job of building th, house, so the New York Chinamen sent ty China for it. Meanwhile Joss re. mained in his shrine, which was dismantled yesterday, and standing in a room jy the rear of the sanctuary, looked like a see. ond-hand book case. It may be of interest to known that the word Joss is not a Chinese word as a suppose, but it is pidgeon English for the Latin word God, which is dens or deo. When the Portuguese Jesuits firs visited Canton and tried to teach the pagan; the name of the Christian God, Joss was the mess they made of it. So that Joss houses’ means God's houses. Joss sticks, whic are tapers the Chinese burn before their God, is in the third story front room of 202 Chatham square. A large wooden sign under the win. dows announces to the wayfaring Chinaman that that is the ee where he can burn Joss sticks and get his sins forgiven. Along the top of the sign and hanging off at the ends isa are, of course, God's sticks. The Joss house ’ — ol. XXXVII. You Never Mad THAN TO DELAY‘ Great and At NOW D.

He Wants to Fight Sullivan and Thea Mo- Cafiery—Also Smith. . Charley Mitchell sailed for England from New York on Thursday. He says he is coming back soon to make this country his home, but it is not generally believed. He bought 4 bill of exchange for £2,000 one day this week, and took along about $8,000 in our money. In ad- dition to this he has another £700 that he pro- cured some time ago. Altogether he carries away with him $25,500. When he came to this country about three years ago he didn’t have a cent. To a reporter who asked him: Why are you leaving New York?’’ he said: Well the truth is I need a little outing, and i thought that a trip to England fora couple of months would be a recreation and afford mea good rest.

Dan Russell’s Marriage and the Romance of His Courtship. „Look at ’em,’’ shouted an excited young man, who rushed into the PoOsT-DISPATCH of- fice and slammed a bundle onadesk. ‘‘Dere isthe documents. Keeping his eye on his audience he slowly unwrapped the parcel and propdly exhibited a marriage license. ‘‘Just tell de sportin’ world for me dat Dan Russell, the ex-champion feather-weight of America, retires from the ring. I've fought my last fight, boys. I’ve swore off whisky. I'm goin’ to quit beer to-morrow. Going’ to join de church next week. Goin’ to bea honest and respectable member of dis community. I’m married.’’ Dan stopped to watch the effect of his an- nouncement onthe sporting editor, who had many atime witnessed the fistic feats of the speaker inthe squared circle. With tearful admiration the sporting editor heard the reso- lution which took from the local galaxy of sports one of its brightest lights and relegated him to the oblivion of good citizenship. The sporting man looked on in mute wonder, but the society editor, who heard the event ot a marriage mentioned, said: Lou dave just been married then, Mr. Russell?’’ ‘*Yes, sir. Have you any objection, Mr. Russell, to telling me any littie romance connected with your marriage for our society column?’’ „No. My bride—an’ she’s a lady of weaith— well, she saw me use my dukes.

The World's“ Attitude Toward the Flying Start—Missouri Club’s Mileage. The Bicycling World says: ‘‘Let the push-off start for tricycles be universally adopted by all means. This is another attempt of fogy- ism to carry the abominable standing start into other flelds, because no matter how much ot a push a tricycle gets it is from a standing start that the race is begun. I the World wants to advocate something that will benefit cycling, why doesn’t it dis- cuss the flying start instead of caressing the “te style?

They admit in that tne necessity of the flying start, be- cause when it comes to a question of reducing to a minimum the strain to riderand machine the flying start leads every other means. The value of cycling in developing the a ique is Illustrated in the case of A. A. Hart, who, on the Fourth, carried off all the racing honors at Chicago. Two years ago, when he began bicycling, he 1 128 pounds, was sick and weakly. Now he weighs 158, is mus- cular and well developed and possessed of the form of an athlete. The League ought to drop the amateur ques- tion long enough to investigate the exchange editor of the Bulletin, who lets such articles getinto the official organ asthe last one on cycling inthe army which went on to show how handy.bicycles would be to an army on the march.

When the case of Martin Rosenbaum, charged with idling, was called in the First District Police Court this morning, a neat, clean-looking man of middle age came hob- bling out of the prisoner’s dock on his knees, his feet being cut off. He entered a plea of guilty and said with a smile on his face that he wanted to be sent tothe Work-house. ‘*Why do you want to be sent there? Have ou ever been in the place before?’’ asked ity Attorney Dyer. „es, sir; | have been there before. „How often?’’ „Twice.“ Po you like the place?“ „Oh, no sir;Ican’t say that I do,“ said Rosenbaum, smiling pleasantly; ‘‘but then I cannot get work, and it is the only house 1 have. **Twenty-five dollars, said Judge Oady. The prisoner bowed his acknowiedgements and ambled back to the dock, apparently happy. A SAD EVENT. Death by Drowning of Little Charles Barney Hall. Mr. Charles E. Barney of Scrugg, Vander- voort & Barney, this morning received a tele- gram from Saugerties, N. Y., giving him the sad news of the death, by drowning, of his little grand-son, Charles Barney Hall, at that place yesterday.

Between the chairs are little elevations where cups of tea are served for the refreshment of devotees. The center of the floor is clear, and from the ceiling hans a confusion of Chinese lanterns of ti finest manufacture, some paper covered, others with glass, decorated with ground gia flowers and vines. Among the lanterns hang CHINESE MOTTOES FRAMED HANDSOMELY. The god’s new houseisin an alcove at the rear of the room and facing Chatham square. It was builtin Canton three months ago and was taken apart and packed in separate boxes + Plea — together by Chinese workmen in New York. he cost of the work was about $2,500. It has a general resemblance at first glance to an extravagantly carved and gilded book case or writing cabinet. It is about nine feet high. Thereis a graceful triple arch at the top, but that is all the backbone that can be seen of the structure. The rest is 4 confusion of scroll work, twigs with birds perched on them, dragons reposing on rocks, and lattice work with mirrors behind them. Everything is covered with gold, like gol lacquer. At the center the shrine retreats, and a fringed veil of many colors, exquisitely worked with the needle, hangs so low as to — conceal the face of the colored Joss. he su.Uing Chinese priest, who was in attend- ance yesterday, exhibited the Joss with great ride. It was a democratic Joss, for he resplendent house was examined and touched, and even the sacred veil was allowed to be lifted anda square look could be had atthe Joss. He was a good-natured Joss, too, for the little mouth was drawn up like that of St. Nicholas. He was in the atti- tude in which Buddha is usually represented, _, the face was that of a happy, benevolent, fat Chinaman. Ig front ot the Joss’ residence was a table with Doxes of earth, in which fra grant Joss sticks are kept burning. ; ee Murder or Accident. By Telegraph to the Post-Diapratcr.
