ROM the crowded garrets of the city tenements, where the little half-stified children look outupon the roofs of smoking tar and telegraph wires that quiver in the heat- to the quiet country where the clover blooms and the meek-eyed cows standin the meadows! Thatis the change which the generous people in charge of the ‘‘Children’s Aid’’ endeavor to secure for the delicate little ones that come under their care. No charity could be more noble or more worthy. Every Tuesday morning at the headquarters of the Aid, 40 North Eleventh street, the children that have been found by the agents or have applied for the relief during the week come together. They are fitted out with fresh and clean clothing sufficient for their country visit and are taken in charge by one of the managers and conveyed to their desti- nation. None are sent away for less than two Weoks, and where the families with whom they visit become attached to them they are per- mitted to remain as much longer than that time as can be agreed upon with their parents or guardians. THE CHILDREN ARE BROUGHT to the attention ofthe ‘‘Aid’’ through the various missions in the city, and are usually selected from the crowded districts near the river and along South Second street and up O’Fallon and such poorer highways. After being thus rec- ommended a visit is paid them by Miss Lizzie Lewis, the missionary of the society. Their parents are seen, the objects of the charity ex- plained and full details elicited regarding the wardrobe, etc., of the proposed beneficiary. Printed circulars are sent to the ministers of the various churches in the little towns near St. Louis calling attention to the poor and needy children of the city and the benefit they would derive from a week or two of country food and pure air. An appeal is made to the charitable of the congregations. Blanks are furnished with these circulars which the ministers return, giving the names of families willing to take charge of one or more children and the age and sex of the visitor desired. This morning forty-four little ones were sent into the country; twenty-seven to Centralia, III., and seventeen to Mechanicsville, Mo. Mr. Wilson Aull was in charge of the Centraila arty, and Miss Lewis went with the group to Mechanicsville. The young lady was very busy wher the reporter dropped in atthe head- quarters. It's only twenty minutes to train time. she said, ‘‘and 1 must get these seventeen children ready. There’s one poor little fellow there that we can’t send, because our supply of clothing has given out. Ob, can’t you please putinthe paper the statement that clothing is what we need more than anything else? The good people of the city have lots of little dresses and boys’ clothing fitting children from 5 to 12 years old that they would give these poor little ones. Ask them to send it care of Mr. Jas. E. Yeatman, 45 North Eleventh street. Every little garment means more than the mere clothing, as it is one of the necessary prerequsites to a visit in the country. Ho long have you been at work this sum- mer?’’ the reporter asked. „This is our third week. We have sent out over seventy children. Some have come back and many of them are going to stay all sum- mer. The families to whom they have gone have taken a liking to thein.’’ „I HAVE TWO O'“ MINE out in the country, sir, said an old Irish woman, with a curtsey, ‘‘an’ I’m goin’ to sind my little bye out there this morning. It’s a great blissing to me, so it is, sir, and the old lady looked as if it was. ‘*She’s very poor, Miss Lewis explained as the mother moved away, ‘‘and she wasn’t able to keep the little ones She is a widow. The children were so sickly, too.“ ‘*You get reports from them, of course?’’ „Oh, every week. Let me show you some letters I have received from the children who have gone. Miss Lewis then displayed a bun- dle of juvenile composition teeming with gratitude and tull of homely bits of descrip- tion through which ‘‘fresh milk’’ and ‘‘corn bread’’ and ‘‘aigs’’ occur with suggestive fre- quency just then the bus backed up to the — the mothers kissed the children good- bye and the happy load started off for the Union Depot. Among the children who left this morning were: Kate Koppes, Gussie Kilhouse, Minnie Kilhouse, Julia McLane, Agnes Teabaul, Kiehely Seipe, Pauline Seipe, Mamie Otto, Ber- tha Ullbrecht, Lizzie Kunze, Lillie Tire, Rose Hollingsworth, Selina Mahew, Gusten Myers, Joseph Kithouse, Richard Smith, Harry Smith, John Hollingsworth, Thos. Hollingsworth, Jacob Lehen, Nellie Lehen, Eddie Lehen, Harry Lee, Willie Lee, Louis Mahew, Willie Mahew, Bennie Mahew. Messers. Grant Tilden and Selden Spencer, the managers, in a talk with the 1 af- ter the children had left, repeated Miss Lewis’ request for clothing from the charitable citt- zens,and said that old shoes were greatly needed by the little ones. Attention was also directed to the sanitarium, another branch of the ‘‘children’s aid, where mothers and their little ones under 4 years of age would be received and kept until the children would be pronounced sufficiently recovered by the phy- sician to be discharged from the institution. The Fresh Air Mission. Owing to some repairs being made upon the Chouteau the Fresh Air Mission made its regu- lar Tuesday trip on the steamer Helena this morning. Abouttwo thousand mothers and babies were on board when the boat backed out and started on her trip to Montesano Springs under the auspices of Messrs. Stiebel and Mastbrook. Provisions were on board, kindly donated by the follow- ing firms: Ely, Scudder & Bro., sugar; Alkire & Co., sugar; D. F. Leavitt, coffee; Barnhardt Mercantile Company, lemons: F. H. Rock- wood, teas; Huse, Loomis & Co., ice; St. Louis Dai Company, milk; Dozier, Weyl & Co., crackers, and flowers and ice cream to the ladies from the Elleard Floral Company and H. H. Stiebel. The ladies in charge were Mesdames Bar- nard, Mastbrook, Roberts, Kercheval, Mac- Intosh, Slueder, Keener. Joseph and Volmer. Messrs. Roberts and Hulsz and Drs. Martin, Krieger and Darrah were in attendance. The fresh air trips will be continued every Tuesday during the summer. Mothers are welcome to bring their little ones for the trip, but no well child over 6 years age will be allowed on board. Considerable trouble is caused by an oversight of this re. striction, but the rule is enforced. Old and decrepit people are also welcome. Mothers and nurses are requested to bring their own lunches and a cup tor coffee, which is fur- nished on the boat. N An Indignant Intruder.

AN IMPENDING STRUGGLE. The Lock-Ont of Squire’s Great Pork Pack- ing Establishment. By Telegraph to the POST-DISPATCH. BOSTON, July 27.—In an envelope containing the wages due him, each employe in John P. Squire & Son’s great pork packing establish- ment last evening found a copy of the follow- ing notice: The nature of our business is such and the distance to the points from which we draw our supplies for manufacture is so great that it is impossible to continue operations and give you employment under any degree of certainty as to the faithful performance of the duties we have engaged you to discharge. For reasons well known to you ail, but which we do not enumerate here, it has become our un- pleasant duty to you and to ourselves to terminate, forthe moment, our operation at these works and sever the relations which have so long and pleasantly existed between us and you, our employes. We do this no less for your relief and future good, than for our Own, as you may sec. This being the case, we now discharge you all, in order to re- lieve you and us from the unpleasant and very unhappy effects of this decision and to make it possibie for you to return to your places under circumstances and conditions upon which you and we will agree. Very truly yours, JOHN P. SQUIRE. TO AVOID A STRIKE. In further explanation of this notice Mr. Squire said: ‘‘My business is one in which no chances can be taken. A strike by my em- loyes right inthe midst of business would nvolve u loss of perhaps $300,000 or $400,000. I could not think of allowing my business to continue with the doubt and uncértainty hanging over it, sol have been doing my best to receive assurance from my men that they would not try to leave me in the lurch. 1 found a man who has been th me twenty-eight years and who is a Knight of Labor, and I asked him if he would ascertain for me whether my men were thinking seriously of striking. This was two weeks after I had refused to have anything to do with parties outside of miy employes themselves. This man, after attending a meeting of the employes, told me that the men bad no serious thought of striking, and I might have no fearon that score; but when I asked him whether, if the Knights ordered themto go out, they would obey, he said he thought they would not strike, anyway, but he did not know. He would give me no positive answer on that point, and on further inquiry I found that there was no assurance whatever that a strike might not be inaugurated at any moment. could not keep niy business up under these conditions, but I still went on buying small droves of hogs and having them killed in order to supply my customers until this time. This with the various odd jobs to be done around such a place, has kept all the men with the exception of about a hundred or so, employed. Icouldn’t have the business go on longer inthis way. I was losing tran- sient customers right along. Why, here where we usually sold 1,500, 2,000 and 2,500 hogs on some days, we now only had from 800 to 400 hogs with which to supply the de- mand. Consequently, in order to save our- selves and put our business on something like a firm footing, we determined to take au aggressive step ourselves. TROUBLE FEARED. There are grave apprehensions of trouble to the works to-day. The men are not of the kind employed in manufacturing establish- ments and it is feared they will resort to vio- lence. A greater part of the police force of Cambridge and Somerville has been detailed to rotect the firm’s property. The Knights of bor have not yet —2 on a course of action. The Executive Board of District No. 30 was in session yesterday afternoon and went to Cambridge last evening to consult with the officers of the local Assembly, of which the locked-out employes are mem bers. The consultation was not over at midnight. The leaders of the order sav they regard the situation as serious. Instead of assuming an aggressive attitude they are compelled to act on the defensive, and the sole and direct issue is the existence of the Knights of Labor Assembly to which 600 or 700 | of Squire’s men are attached. It will be looked upon as a test case through the coun- try, they believe, and accordingly they will bring to bear every power and influence with- in their reach to maintain their position. Every possible effort is being made to encour- age the men to stick tothe order and prepare for a determined struggle. NOT HIS REAL SENTIMENTS. Provisional Judge Harvey Fxplains His Reflection on Matrimony. Acting Judge Thos. B. Harvey of the Court of Criminal Correction states that when he pronounced the sentence, ‘‘And may God have mercy on your souls, in marrying Clingbell and the girl Clingbell seduced the other day, he only intended it to apply to that particular: case, and he does not want to be understood to take that view of all marriages. He thinks matrimony a perfectly legitimat business, in which any man may engage without endangering his intellectual reputation. Much injury bas been worked him, he says, among his lady acquaintances by the erroneous sen- timent attributed to him on account of his remarks in that unfortunate Clingbell mar- riage ceremony. A friend of the acting Judge states that the publication of Mr. Harvey's remarks was the means of preventing the consummation of negotiations which were pending for his matrimoniai alliance to a prominent West End belle. GOOD EGGSTO SCC. An Ingenious Way of Getting Around the Rhode Island Prohibition Law. Boston, July 27.—An ingenious way of get- ting around the Prohibition law in Rhode Island was discovered yesterday. Several cases of eggs were tipped off a truck by an ac- cident on Tremont street. On picking up the eggs from the street they were found to be made of porcelain, and instead of containing the legitimate products of the barn yard, they were filled with whisky, each egg holding a good square drink, as one of the spectators expressed it. The liquor was put in through a hole in the big end and the hole stopped by cement, which was chalked to resemble the natural color. The driver ofthe team said he was taking the eggs from a liquor dealer at the North End to the Providence depot. The cases were marked to botels in Newport and Narragansett Pier, R. I. There were six cases of forty-nine dozen each. COUNSELOR QUINLIVAN. The Merchant Defends His Own Case with Disastrous Results. Sol. J. Quinlivan, the Commercial alley merchant, defended himselfin a case before Judge Cady this morning charging him with obstructing the street with a wagon. Mr. Quinlivan admitted that he had the wagon standing on the street as charged, but said he was violating no city ordinance. Judge Cady thought differently, how- ever, and fined him % and costs. The decision Kk Mr. Quinlivan’s breath away and he im- pe oot tay mentee that he would take an that the Supreme Court would probably not reverse the decision, and he would only have the extra costs to pay for his pains.

AGENTS OF TN CANADIAN GOVERNMENT WATCHING THE ANARCHISTS. To-Day's Proceedings in the Trial of the In- dicted Chicago Bomb-Throwers—The State Continues to Produce Damaging Evidence —Indignation Meeting of Socialists. CHICAGO, July 27.—At the anarchists’ trial this morning, Whiting Allen, a newspaper re- porter, testified that he was at the Haymarket meeting. Parsons in hisspeech said: What good are these strikes going todo? What are yougoing to gain by them? Do you think you are going to gain your point? No, you will have to back to work for less than you formerly re- ceived.’’ When he mentioned the name of Jay Gould some one cried out, ‘‘Hang him N „Throw him in the lake! Parsons said: „No, no; that won't do. If Jay Gold were put out of the way to-day, another Jay Gould, or one hundred Jay Goulds, wouid rise up. It is not the man, but the system, that ought to be destroyed.’’ The witness says the crowd seemed entirely in sympathy with Parsons and applauded him frequently. Mr. Allen was at Zefi’s Hall when the explosion occurred. At the Haymarket he saw Spies, Parsons, Fielden come he thought, Schwab, but was not certain of the latter. On cross-examina- tion the witness said he did not see Parsons at Zeff's Hall that evening. He was not at the Haymarket in the capacity of a reporter, but having another assignment in the neighborhood strolled down to the Haymarket in an ab- stracted mood.’’ He had instructions from his paper never to report Parsons. The wit- ness saw a Mr. Markoff at Zeff’s Hall, byt was positive that the man was notinthe coOmpany of the detendant (Fischer) at that place. Mr. Allen was asked if he saw Fischer. Hesaidno. Mr. T. R. Tuthill, another reporter, was at the Haymarket, but not on assignment, and while Parsons was speaking the witness thought the crowd was made of two classes— those opposed to the speaker and they were in the majority, andthose in sympathy with the speuker and they appeared to be e enthusiaatic than the leaders. stout, matronly woman, whose ample figure was enfolded in a white lawn dress, wasin Judge Gary’s court-room early this morning with a number of bouquets. When the anarchists were broughtin from the jail, the woman rose ina hurry, and quickly run- ning over to the prisoners, tendered each one of them a bunch of flowers. AN EYE WITNESS’ STATEMENT. Detective Cosgrove was one of the ofticers detailed to attend the Haymarket meeting. He testified articularly regarding the speech made y Parsons. Thecrowd present he estimated at 2,000, and it was very unruly and excited. Parsons, near the close of his speech, frequently cried, ‘‘To arms,’’ which served to greatly increase the excitement. The wit- ness kept going from the wagon tothe police station to report the exact condition of affairs, and when he went to the station the last time to report the character of Parsons’ incendiary utterances the police were mustering down Despiaines street. The witness went ahead and remained behind a telegraph pole when the firing commenced. His recital of the order to disperse, the explosion of the bomb and the firing into the police ranks did not vary from the former narratives. He was addressed by an officer standing near him, who atated he was wound- ed, and in helping him away from the scene they came across the dead body of Officer Degan. Detective McKeogh was pres- ent at the Haymarket and gave a similar ver- sion of the speeches and firing. E. E. Owen, a reporter, saw Parsons at the corner of Randoiph and Halsted streets shortly before the Haymarket meeting began. He asked Parsons where the meet- ing was to be beld. Parsons replied that he did not know. ‘‘Why,’’ remarked the witness, ‘‘you are going to speak, aren't you?’’ ‘‘No.,’’ replied Parsons. iy going to the South side. Saying thie Parsons started for a street car, but drew back and slapping the witness familiarly on the back, remarked: Are you armed? Have you any dynamite about you?’’ Parsons then moved away. Lis wife accompanied him. Almost at the same time he saw Mayor Harri- son, and Schwab, who was running across the street, almost ran into Harrison. Sie did not see Schwab again that night. He heard Spies, Parsons and Fielden speak, and his recital of their utterances varied very slightly from the former accounts. The witness saw the approach of the police and running ahead of them mounted an iron stairway at the corner of Randolph and Desplaines streets. He heard the warning of the police to disperse very indistinctly, and immediately afterward a fiendish cry from the wagon followed by the explosion of the bomb. The witness was woundedin the leg almost at the first fre. The witness testified that he saw shots from the east side of the street and up to that time the police had not fired. M. C. Metzner, a hardware merchant at Des- laines and Randolph streets, made an exain- nation early the next morning where the bomb had exploded, and expressed the view that the excavation in the street was caused by either dynamite or giant powder. AN INTERNATIONALIST’S EVIDENCE. H. E. Heineman, a German reporter, was resent at the Haymarket at 7:30. He saw arsons and Schwab in the _ vicinity, the former at the corner of Randolph and Halstead streets. He also saw Baithauser Reue an hour latg. He saw the bomb rise from the alley, end also saw shots fired at the police from the north side. Spies, in his speech, began by declaring that the meeting was to be a peaceable one, but in his speech gave a version ofthe McCor- mick riot with which he intended to inflame the crowd. Were you formerly a member of the In- ternational?’ ’’ the State’s Attorney asked. Les, sir,’’ replied the witness. ‘*When did you cease to be a member?“ Two years ago. ‘*Which of the defendants belonged to the society while you were a member?“ The only one I know positively was Neebe. He belonged to the same group as myself.“ Did you meet others of the defendants at that time?’’ Tes; Spies and Schwab, and Ithink Par- sons. That was when Herr Most was here and made some speeches?’’ And it was on account of those speeches that you severed your connection with the Internationalists?’’ Wh ; did y ‘*Who did you see on the wagon on the night of the Haymarket meeting?’ “a 1 *‘I saw Spies, Schwab, Fielden and Rudolph Sehnarebet. The latter I knew as a member of the Internationalists. The court adjourned at 1 o’clock until 2 p. m. THE CANADIAN GOVERNMENT INTERESTED. It has recently come to the knowledge of the State's Attorney that for the past two years the Canadian Government keepstwo expert detectives in this city watching the move- ments of Chicago dynamiters in regard to their connection with the Riel rebellion and other insurrectionary movements contemplated, but not carried out in that country. It was known that, should they be com- pelled to testify at the present time, they would at once be re ized by the So- cialists and would therefore be rendered use- leas for further work. In view of these cir- cumstances they have been recalled within the past few weeks, until the trial is conciuded, when they will return. In 1879-80, Thomas Sweeny, an active ward politician of the e of Ottawa, Ont., and a trusted worker in the Conservative cause, frequently commissioned to important private service by Sir John Macdonald, occupied the position of Canadian Immigration Agent, traveling constantly between Chicago and the international boun line at St. Vincent on the Manitoba road. is duties were to prevent as far as — the loss of emigrants bound for the anadian Northwest, through the instru- mentality of land agents in the Northwestern States, and to report to his Government the nature of the schemes adopted to capture such immigration. While in this position he made the uaintance of a number of Chicago anarchists, learned their designs and com- municated ö agree 06 Sir John nes. Soon after » Sweeny was promoted to tbe tion of, Land Guide im, Xe anitoba, but he uen came East to look after linmigration p tators in Manitoba, and was i. nection with an Amerionm ‘named Wiles, 28 close a scheme to the Canadian Govern- —— for an insurrectionary uprising in that rovince so that it was nipped inthe bud. his he accomplished in connection with the man Wilson, who is anative of the State of Wisconsin. These disclosures enabled the Dominion Government to stamp outan embryo insurrection in Manitoba at the time, and what is more, served to put the Canadian detective force on the track of a conspiracy brewin between Riel, Dumont and organizations o anarchists in Chicago und New York. In @ short time thereafter Thomas Sweeny and the man Wilson, through whose instrumental- ity the discoveries were made, left Winnipeg and took up their residence in Chicago. This „as in the winter of 1884. From that date uu, til a within a few months Mr. Sherwood, chief ot the Dominion detective force and the head of the Canadian Government have been kept thoroughly posted concerning the designs and movements of the anarchists both in Chicago and New York. Mr. Sweeny, with Mr. Wilson as assistant, has ever since resided in Chicago. The former left for Cana: da about the time of the Haymarket massacre or soon after, presumably to prevent his being summoned as a witness against Spies, Par sons, Fielden, et al. Some time in 1885 Sweeny is said to have been admitted, at the same time the Danish Pinkerton detective named Jans- sen was installed as an armed Socialist to an armed group of the same body, and being an expert he became a drill- master. CAPTURED DYNAMITE. A large quantity of dynamite, shipped from Chicago to the Lake Superior region, estensi- bly for mining purposes, or about to be shipped, having been paid for by Chicago or New York anarchists, was discov- ered the da it was to have been dispatched, having been purchased in assumed names and was withheld at the in- stance of Sweeney or his associate, and the Chicago firm still holds the money for the same, over $100, with the affidavit of the detective making the disclosure. The firm referred to is designated as a Chicago agency of an Eastern concern. Sweeny is also held to be the man who notified the Dominion detectives at Ottawa two years ago, of the departure from this city of one of the Decorsi, who had been formally commissioned in the West Lake street den to go to the City of Pull. adjoining the Canadian capital and organize a branch of the anarchists, some of whom had beenin correspondence with the Chicago dynamiters, asking that a man be sent down to give them roper instruction and put them on a regular ooting as a branch of the international organ- ization. Decorsi’a mission was known to Chief Sherwood before his arrival in the city, and he was shadowed from the moment of his arrival until enough had been known to warrant the latter in writing him to leave town onthe next train which he did. The hotbed of Socialism which he organized was closely watched from that day until it was raided, about a month ago. Sweeny is also supposed to be able to give the names and numbers, especially the latter, of those who were detailed to throw bombs on the 3d and 4th of May in different sections of the city, but this muy not be correct, as he was distrusted for some time before that date. He was No. 12’’ of the American Group of armed men, and was, therefore, in the same company with Janssen. Sweeny is now supposed to be in Canada. THE SOCIALIST MEETING. At the Socialist meeting last night, Dr. Ernst Schmidt, in the course of his remarks, said: „For those who have followed the course of the world's history there is nothing strange in the events of recent date. It is nonsense when the newspapers tell us that the work- ingman can better his position by means of the ballot-box.’’ The speaker went on to show that all laboring men were slaves, and charged ‘‘the corrupt press with being more responsible for the recent fight than any other cause.’’ In this strain the speaker continued his remarks, which were time and again in- terrupted by enthusiastioapplause. The fol- lowing resolutions were then adopted without a dissenting voice: Whereas. It is the boast of our jurisprudence that no man shall be condemned until he be fully heard in his oWn defense and his guilt established beyond a reasonable doubt by credible testimony, the law pre- suming the accused innocent until his guilt is thus established; and, Whereas, As all inquiries of this nature are affected in some measure by general public sentiment, and. Vhereas, The press is the chief instrument for formation and expression of public opinions; and, Whereas, Inthe pending trial of the so-called an- archlsts in the Criminal Court of Cook County upon the charge of the murder of Matthias J. Degan the press has, with almost entire unanimity, from the 4th of May, 1586, untilnow denounced the defendants as guiltvand clamoied for their condemnation and execution, although they have not yet been heard in their defense — has not fairly and fully published the evidence thus far adduced in the trial, particu- larly the cross-examination of the witnesses called by the proscenties ; therefore be It Resoived. That we declare the course of the press to be contrary to the spirit of the law and to the dic- tates of justice, and alike calculated and designed to do the accused a great wrong by misleading the pub- lic and withholding from it the means of forminga correct estimate or opinion upon the issue involved; that we believe it the duty of the press to publish the testimony in full, without comment, or at least to print a fair and impartial abstract of the whole testi- mony, equally that favorable to with that supposed to be against the prisoners. We further recommend to the organized workers of Chicago to follow in the footsteps of the Central Labor Union of New York, which is entering the arena of political action for the purpose of counteracting the repressive legislation thatthe capitalistic class will no doubt attempt to railroad through our legislative bodies. Geo. A. Schilling was the last speaker, who, inalengthy speech, tried to prove the press was in reality responsible for the Haymarket riot. Hats were passed, and $77 was collected for the defense of the anarchists. Copies of Herr Most’s Freiheit of Mays were distributed. The paper glorifies the Haymarket riot and anarchism in general. TWO HUSBANDS’ VENGEANCE, A Baker Uses His Pistol with Deadly Effect Strunk’s Shots. LOUISVILLE, Ky., July 27.—Just before noon to-day John Koehler, a baker, shot and killed John Carter, a polisher, and mortally wounded Peter Haupt, a brick- layer. Several days ago Koehler left his young wife, charging her with in- fidelity and with love for Haupt. He went to see her today at his old home and found Haupt and Carter in the house. He tried to make them leave and they threat- ened to eject him, whereupon he pulled his pistol and killed Carter and shot Haupt through the head. Koehler gave himself up. THE NEW ALBANY TRAGEDY. Shortly atter the Louisville tragedy a similar one occurred across the river at New Albany, where Prof. J. G. Strunk shot and killed Charles Hoover and seriously wounded his father, Dr. Hoover. It is charged that young Hoover had been too in- timate with Strunk’s wife. Only a short while ago Strunk shot at Hoover, but with no serious result. Hoover and father were re- turning from dinner at noon when they met Strunk, who began shooting. Dr. Hoover was shot through the groin. Young Hoover started to run, but was struck four times by Strunk's bullets and fell dead to the pavement. Dr. Hoover is a well-known hysician, and is Professor in a medical col ege.

SENATOR PLUMB INDULGES IN PLAIN TALK ABOUT THE REVENUE SURPLUS. The Senate Agrees to the Morrison Resolu- tion, with One Amendment—Gen. Hazen’s Strange Action — The Hennepin Canal Amendment Defeated — Col. Lamont’s Trip to New York—Washington News. By Telegraph to the Post-DIsPATCH. WASHINGTON, D. C., July 27.—Speaking of the Morrison resolution this morning, Senator Plumb, who is one of its warmest supporters, said: ‘‘There is a certain class in Wall Street that think that no financial legis- lation is good unless it originates with them. They came to Washington at the time we voted to issué8 per cents and urged President Hayes to veto the Dill. They said the issue of these bonds meant ruin to the country. The bill was vetoed. The next winter they were back on their bended knees begging us for an issue of 3 per cents. We looked over the situation then, and voted to authorize the issue of 3 per cents, subject to call. If Hayes had signed the other bill these banks would have a series of long issue 3 per cent bonds, which are just what they want now. Ihave no doubt that this class of people, having predicted ruin to follows the reduction of the surplus, will do all they can to prove that any financial disturbance which follow the passage of this resolution is due to it. But they cannot keep thatup long. Itis nonsense for this Government to go on collect- ing money for taxes and not ut it out in cireulation. If they are going to eep this $100,000,000 absolutely intact it is like throwing so much money in the sea. 1 would be in favor of reducing this reserve to $50,000,000. There has never been a demand upon it for more than $11,000,000, and that was only in the year following the resumption of specie payments. Since that time there has never been a demand for more than $6,000,000. There is no possibility of a call upon the Treasury for $50 , 000 , 000 n gold. No man or set of men could collect together $50.- 000,000 in greenbacks for that purpose, with- out creating a panic and putting greenbacks to a premium, and then, under the law of 1870, the Treasury could issne bonds of any denomination in any amount to control all the gold inthis country. With regard to the bonds to be called which are held by na- tional banks as a basis for circulation, I think that in my country thatthe banks will refuse to send the bonds in and will hold them without interest. There is no _ profit on national bank currency, excepting in New England and interior New York. Banks in the West comply with the law regarding circulation, to obtain the charter whichisofvalue to them. A National bank stands better in the financial world than a State or private institution. There are a great many banks being established in my State with a $10,000 capital. It would cost one ot these banks about $350 a year to maintain the required circulation on interest bearing bonds. Itis a plain business propo- sition, whether their charter is worth $350a year or not. Ithink in many cases they will conclude that it is and not send the bonds in for redemption.’’ Peculiar Action of Gen, Hazen, By Telegraph to the Posf-DIsPaTci. WASHINGTON, D. C., July 27.—Mrs. Dr. Pavy, widow of Dr. Pavy, who, with others, perished on the Greely expedition, declined yesterday to be interviewed concerning the recent disciosures made by Sergt. Connell. Mrs. Pavy’s recent visit to the President was to seek his aid for the purpose of securing and restoring to the War Department certain of her late husband’s ofiicial papers which are now in the hands ofa New York lawyer who camein possession of them through Gen. Hazen. For some cause unknown, Gen. Hazen allowed the New York lawyor (whose name Mrs. Pavy has refused to disclose) to take the papers from the departinentand refuses to return them or al- low Mrs. Pavy accessto them without being aid the sum of $5,000 damages, which Hazen aas no authority to demand and Mrs. Pavy is not able to pay. Her request of the President t-to aid her in the restoration of the apers was followed only by a letter rom Col. Lamont saying the matter had been referred to the Secretary of War. This was some three weeks ago, butup tothe present time no action has been taken, andthe next move will be to have offered in Congress a resolution calling upon Hazen to have the papers restored to their place. Amended the Surplus Resolution. WASHINGTON, D. C., July 27.—The Senate Committee on Finance agreed by a ma- jority vote, this morning, to report the Mor- ison surplus resolution with an amendment, The text of the resolution remains as it came from the House, but the following proviso is attached: Provided that no call shall be made under the provisions of the resolution until a sum equal to the call is in the Treasury over and above the reserve herein mentioned, and provided further, that the Secretary of the Treasurv, in his discretion may bave in thie Treasury over and above the foregoing sum a working balance not exceeding $2,000. - 000, and in the ease of any extraordinary emergency and when because there- of in the opinion of the Secretary of the Treasury the public interest shall require it, he may, by written order, suspend the further call for the payment of such indebtedness for such à period of time as shall be necessary to maintain the public credit unimpaired.’’ The division was upon party lines with the exception of Senator McPherson, who voted with the majority, and Senator Jones of Ne- vada, who voted with the minority. The mi- nority favored the unamended house regolu- tion. Against the Mississippi. By Telegraph to the Post-DIspaTcn. WASHINGTON, D. C., July 27.—In the House this afternoon, Mr. Hiscock offered a resolu- tion declaring it the sense of the House against so much of the Senate amend- ment to the river and harbor bill as restores the Mississippi River Com- mission, and provides for levees on the Mis- — Agreed to—l44 to 38.

WASHINGTON, July 27.—His Imperial High- ness Prince Fushime of Japan and suite, who are traveling in this country on their way home from Europe, are expected to arrive here on a late train to-nicht. They will be guests of the Japanese Minister, and will remain here about two days. The Prince will be formally pre- sented to the President to-morrow. Lamont’s Departure. WaSHINGTON, D.

Conant, who. was Assistant Seo- retary of the Treas under a tow from 1874 to 1877. Secretary Bris The Hennepin Amendment Defeated. By Telegraph to the Post-Disp tor. WASHINGTON, D.

Acting Judge Harvey of the Court of Crimt- nai Correction sent Patrick Burke | Work-house for @ month for stealing tous planks of lumber valued at $3 from J. A. Har- nett & Co. Patrick McCormick was sent to jail for fifteen days for stealin — boards valued at 60 cents from Dennis Clifford.

Both par- 8 olored. a po against Ike Powell, charged with assaulting to kill Frank Meklroy; Henry Hackman, charged with abandoning his wife Nellie Hackman, and George Thorn, charged with the theft of $1 from Zerelda Johnson, were dismissed for want of prosecution. A TERRIBLE MISTAKE, Mrs. Prill Uses Sulphuric Acid Instead of Holy Water. Prrrs hund, Pa., July 27.—Mrs. John Prill of South Twenty-eighth street made a mistake yesterday which may cost her her eyesight and disfigure her for life. She became greatly frightened when the terrible storm, which passed over this section yesterday, broke in its fury, and she ran up to her bed chamber for a vase of holy water with which to sprinkle herself in the hope that in that way she might ward off impending danger. In the excitement of the moment and the semi-darkness of the room, she missed the bottle in which the. water was kept and seized one filled with sulphuric acid. Mrs. Prill was nervous and she was not sparing with the terrible fluid, but dashed it in her face and over her head in con- siderable quantity. The first intimation she had of her mistake was the terrible pain which the acid inflicted. She cried out almost in- stantly in her anguish and the neighbors, hearing the cries, ran in to see what was the matter. They found the lady lying on the floor almost crazed with pain. Great red blotches, the work ofthe acid, were already appearing on her face and neck. It was some time before the situation was understood, but when it was, everything possible was done to stop the work of the destroying agent. Tho physicians who attended Mrs. Prill say that she will in all probability lose her eyesight and that her face may be disfigured. The acid had eaten into the flesh before its course was stayed. : Damaged by a Storm. St. Paul, Minn., July 27.—A Fort Assina- boine special says: A terrific storm here yes- terday biew the Quartermaster’s store down; loss, $50,000. The buildings all rocked as if in an earthquake. SINGED BY SOL. More Heat Predicted for To-Morrow—To- Day’s Weather. The Signal Service has quit announcing „local rains’’ and is now furnishing seersuckers and fans with such predictions as Sergt. Weber poured into the perspiring ear of the Post-DISPATCH reporter this afternoon, when he declared with remarkable sangfroid that to-morrow willbe warmer. He didn’t say hotter, which he might have done, and the pub- lic no doubt will remember this kindness to-morrow when the mercury skips around among the nineties. All over the country the barometer rose last night, which ushered in the morning with a lively breeze, which alone has kept the day from beingascorcher, The skies are clear nearly everywhere, and all the weather prophets in the country couldn’t evolve a rain-storm in the next twenty-four hours out of the existing conditions. The readings to-day at the Signal Service were as follows, their highest record this year being 94.5 degrees: 2 a. m., 80; 6a. m., 74; 10 a. m., 82; 2 p. m., 89. On the street to-day the quicksilver has ranged between 93 and 96 degrees. DAKOTA’S CROP. A Discouraging Report Regarding the Prob- able Yield This Year. St. Paci, Minn., July 27.—Maj. R. E. Flem- ing, one of the Railroad Commissioners of Da- kota, in an interview in the Pioneer Press takes a gloomy view ofthe crop situation in Dakota. Hesaysthe storms of Friday and Saturday nights in North Dakota destroved about a million and a halt bushels of wheat. He places the total yield of the Territory at not more than twelve million bushels. Maj. Fleming says that thousands of cattle and sheep will be brought from Montana into Dako- ta this winter, as the grass on the ranges has been entirely burntout. The agent of a reap- er company at Bismarck told him he had sold over fifty machines, but would not deliver three asthe crops in that section were not worth cutting. A FAMILY TRAGEDY. Mrs. Ella Thomas Fatally Stabs Her Sister, Mrs. Kate Kearney. CHIcAdO, July 27.—Mrs. Ella Thomas, a restaurant employe, stabbed her sister, Mrs. Kate Kearney, last evening, at their home No. 99 South Clinton street. Mrs. Kearney was at home when her sister came in with Kate’s husband, James Kearney. The two women quarreled concerning some remarks Kearney had heard about his wife. Katethrew a beer glass at Ella and the latter picked up an open en-knife and hurled it at her sister, the lade entering her neck just above the right shoulder. The wound will probably result in her death. A GOOD MAN GONE WRONG. The Cashier of the American Baptist Pub- lication Society an Embezzler. PHILADELPHIA, July 27.—Last March Wm. P.

SALISBURY UNABLE TO FIND A CHIEF SECREPARY FOR IRELAND. The Premier, Lord Randolph Churchill Important Conference — Editor Cutting’s Case—Present Status of the Affair—Mex- icans Spoiling for a Fight — Chapleau's Sensational Speech—Foreign News, LONDON, July 27.—The Marquis of Salisbury, Lord Randolph Churchill and Sir Michael Hicks-Beach had a long conference this after- noon. It is reported that Lord Salisbury is having great difficulty in the work of filling the post of Chief Secretary for Ireland, no suitable man desiring to take the office under the new government. . Lord Hartington has been consulted about the Irish Secretaryship before to-day's con- ference, and the hitch which has occurred over the question may necessitate his return from Goodwood, whither he has gone to at - tend the races. The Carleton Club is rapidly filling up with the Conservative members of the House of Commons in answer to Lord Salisbury’s call fora general meeting in the House of the party. Mexico. EDITOR CUTTING’S CASE. EL Paso, Tex., July 27.—Consu! Brigham has received no official advices or instructions about the pending international troubles, and will probably not for a day or two, as the cor- respondence between the two Governments is carried on direct between Washington and the City of Mexico. Therefore, the exact status ot the affair is not known here. Paso del Norte continues full of Mexican troops. The higher portions of the city are plainly visibie from the American side. A number of troops can be seen busy at something or otheron an elevation back of the historic oid Cathedral, which the American visitors to Paso del Norte always go to see. It is thought they are throwing up earthworks for which purpose that spot would be particularly adapted. The commander of the Mexican post is Col. Unda, who achieved quite a repu- tation in the war against Maximilian, in which he was wounded. He is a man of letters and a poet. He is, however, by this time, probably outranked by a commander of higher grade inthearmy. In afew instances, Americans who venture over there are scouted at and often they are summarily searched for weapons, Ifany are found they are taken from them. The feeling among the Mexican masses is very bitter against Ameri- cans. They are quite defiant, and say it will bean easy matter for their country to whip the United States. They have somehow brought themselves to believe that the firing of the first gun would be the signal forthe Southern States to come to their assistance to revenge themselves upon the Northern States for the disastrous outcome of the great civil war. They likewise feel convinced that England would at once take their part and biockade the Atiantic and Guif ports of the United States. Senor Escapor, the Mexican Consul at El Paso, says unless One country or the other backs down, war cannot be averted, and he added: „Mexico will never comply with the demand that has been made. If it must come to tbat, you may be sure that Mexico will accept war first.’’ It is thought that he is apt to speak by au- thority, tor he is known to have heretofore reflected the sentiments of his Government. The Chief Justice of the State of Chihuahua, Senor F. F. Romas, bas arrived at Paso del Norte, ostensibly for the purpose of looking into the Cutting matter. Senor Rincon, Pri- vate Secretary to the Governor of Uhihauhua, has published a contradiction of the report that made him state to Consul Brigham that no more troops would be sent to Paso del Norte. He says he is no position to know what movements the Federal Mexi- can troops will make. The Mexican press is intensely patriotic and belligerent, and wants their government to listen to no negotiations whatever. The Mexican paper published at Paso del Norte, the Observadi Frontreza, says: Do you Americans believe that because you belong to a populous nation vou will cause our weaker nation to vacillate? You think so” Do you think by noise and hurrahs you can scare the authorities? Never believe it; never let it enter your mind. You can never impose upon the sons of a warlike and Valiant nation.’ NO RESORT TO ARMS. NEW YORK, July 27.—The Tribune’s Wash- ington correspondent gays: Secretary Endi- cott was usked yesterday if there was any in tention of moving troops toward Mexico. He said there was nothing in it so far as he knew. To a reporter of the Critic he is reported as Saying in ironical tones: ‘Don’t you think it rather ridiculous to make war on Mexico for the sake of one man, when we have tamely submitted for the last two months the indigni- ties of the Candaians upon hundreds of our citizens?’ The general belief is that Editor Cutting’s case will be peaceably settled through diplomatic influence without any resort to arms.“ _THE FEDERAL AUTHORITIES POWERLESS. NEW York, July 27.—The Sun’s Washington correspondent says: The Government is greatiy embarrassed in dealing with the Cut- ting case, because there is no United States Consul at Chihuahua. Formerly this place was of no particular importance, but since the Mexican Central Railroad was opened and American capital began to be invested in mines, the business of the consulate has large- ly increased, and there is no one to attend to it. The city of Chinuahuais the capital and commercial metropolis of the State of the same name. It is absolutely essential that the United States should be represented there by a competent man. There is no place on the border, not even excepting Matamoras, where citizens of the United States are 80 numerous and have such large interests. In the city of Chihuahua is an American colony of seventy-five ora hundred persons, and in the surrounding country are several hundred more, representing several millions of capi- tal, yet the United States Consulate has been vacant for nearly three years, and nobody can be found who will accept the office. The reason is that no salary is attached to it, and the fees amount to only a few hundred dollars a year. No man can afford to accept the place, as the duties are so arduous that they will require hf entire time, if he attends to do not pay an fees. The Mexican authorities have @the proper demand for utting’s release upon the Governor of Chi- huahua as requested by the United States Minister, and it is said at the State Department that there is no cause of complaint against Président Diaz and his ministry, but the local authorities decline to accede tothe demands of the Federal Government, and Secretary ment for the release of by the uahua authorities that have “ioe been plied with, and there are now con- fined in the prison of that city several —— * cases. — — Government * 8 —— state troops, Norte, are ——— to and Sir Michael Hicks-Beach Hold an Pure and Unadulterated CANDIES!

BROADWAY. — Federal authorities as well as any attempt to rescue Cutting from the American side of the border. There is an intense prejudice in Ch. huahua against the Americans. It grows out of the fact that the richest mines in the Stats are held by citizens of this country under treaty stipulations, They pay no taxes, and the Mexicans are jealous of the profits that are made by working them. The Dominion, CHAPLEAU’S SENSATIONAL, SPRECH. MONTREAL, July 27.—Considerable excite. ment has been caused among French Cana. dians by the speech of Secretary of state Chapleau to the English electors of the county of Chambly. Mr. Chapleau said: I cannot be accused of taking the stand I have taken for the sake of remuneration, power, or glory. [have been offered by Mercier, speaking tor Laurier and in the name of the whole of their friends, if I would put myself at the head of the National party and lead a crusade against that so-called anti-patriotic Government at Ottawa, honors, power, glory, portfolios, and premiership. Lea, my friends, I have been offered more than that—I have been offered in solid gold money enough to represent more salary than I should receive for tive years asa Minister of the Crown if I took the leadership ofthat party. But, gentlemen, I refused it, I would rather be the humblest soldier in Her Majesty's army, than Grand Dictator of are. bellion against our Sovereign.’’ WEIsS’ WAYS A Clever Lottery Unearthed Under Alleged Government Bonds, This afternoon Special Officers Hobbs and Frese of Central District arrested and locked up in the Four Courts a man giving the name of S. Weiss, who claims to be the agent for America for the sale of Aus trian Governinent bonds. He and another man have been going about the city selling the bonds. As they have bee: selling the bonds it is nothing more nor less than a new Ilottery scheme. They claim that there are four drawings annually to see who gets the interest which falls due on the whole issue of quar- terly bonds made by the Austrian Governinent. The bonds draw 6 per cent per quarter, and any one purchasing u coupon will®have one chance in the drawing to win the interest on the entire issue of the Government. Of course the Austrian Government is engaged in no such business, and the whole thing is either a swindle or new lottery scheme. The other party in the schemes has not yet been arrested. Weiss avers it is a legitimate business, and that the Austrian Government has such drawings. War- ranta for fraud and for lottery will be applied foragainst him. A bond for $100 redeemable in 1920 Weiss sells for $110 pay- able in monthly instaliments and, as stated, the bonds bear 6 per cent interest quarterly. The purchaser is given a receipt and the bond is kept in Hugo Lederer’s bank. ABOUT TOWN. . Mr. Thos.

According to the latest Mark Lane Express „n large acreage of the best cereal crops has been damaged by rains.’’ This morning’s cables note that the weather is still unsettied in England, and the small deliveries of native wheat in the United Kingdom is indicative of the fact that English farmers are holding back while the condition of the crops is so critical. Last week’s deliveries of home-grown wheat in the United Kingdom were estimated at 655,000 bu, which was 120,000 bu smaller than last year for same time, and then they were considered light. Of her colonies, En- gland now has only India to depend upon. Australia has been importing wheat quite freely from New Zealand, and it is thought that imports will continue until the next har- vest. 11 is stated that Australia will importa large amount of Indian wheat, also, and the latest is that arrangements are now being made to ship both wheat and flour from California to Australia.——A telegram from Sawyer, Wallace & Co., New York, to Francis Bros.: Our Paris correspondent cables: ‘Crop prospects poor and large imports neces. sary.’ ’’——The statement in these columns Saturday that Chicago would probably at- tempt to work up acrop scare, so as to bull corn, has been borne out by the late advance. This morning Chicago was telegraphing: ‘*Dry and hot weather all over the corn coun- try,’’ and stating that already had there been serious damage to the crop. That market is undoubtedly trying to work the outsiders, and as usual give them no showatall. ‘‘You will notice, said Henry Slaughter, that Chi- cago 3 corn lo to 2c higher every morn- ing. ell, that is the way she makes the country pay for corn, as the country orders are, most of them, thereinthe morning, and they have to buy at the top.’’ Private ad- vices were that Cudahy and Ream were selling there to-day, and itis well known that these two have been the principals bulls in corn, as they were in wheat.——From the best informa- tion that can be obtained, there has been no such damage to corn as Chicago would like to make out. Tom Dunnaway, one of Redmond, Cleary &Co.s’ traveling men anc one ofthe best posted on Western grain crops, got inthis morning from Northern Kansas. -This is one of the finest corn sections of that State and where itis claimed most damage has been dune, yet Mr. D. declares that the crop looks finer and romises a magnificent yield, that they have ad fine rains in that section and there was no damage, D. P. Grier says hfs firms advices from the West are that there has been no damage to speak of to corn and the prospects are good. — Ot all the disconsolate men on ’Change the flourmen, more particularly the brokers and representatives of country mills, are the worst. They get hardly one order a dav to fill, and complain bitterly of the lack of demand. The principal demand justnow absent is from the South and East, and the reason for these sections re- fusing to buy appear to be that their trade have been so crammed with the idea that stocks are large wig” pay and the crop so, immense that the price of flour never will go higher, how they neglected their opportuni- ties. St. Louis millers also deny the existence of an export de- mand for flour, when the fact is that certain mills in this immediate section, if not in the city, are filling export orders for flour right ulong. A letter was shown the writer from the Continent asking for further shipments of flour, stating that the demand was heavy and that really undesirable flour could be sold readily.——The average St. Louis miller takes very few chances, and just now is missing the same chance that they neglected in the same manner last year. This is the carrying of wheat. Last year they could have bought wheat and sold against it for May, #1886, at a difference in price that would have paid all the carrying charges and given them cheap wheat to grind. They did not do so and the consequence was that in Febru they were 22 May price for No. 2 red. They then kicked very hard and complained because other men had the nerve to carry the Wheat, and they will probably do the same this year. It is hinted, however, that this season the city millers are ad- vanein most of the money with which the cash wheat is bought, and that though os- tensibly carried by the elevators it is actually bought for milling.——Peter McMorrow, who has been laid up for some days, was able to appear on Change to-day. —Norton & Worthington, Chicago, wired „Parties shipping us wheat from Indiann and IIiinois say farmers de- iveries very materially decreased by recent decline. Some St. Louis receivers tell the same tale, n goo many of their shippers informing them they will not ship at present prices.—-Lee Goldman lately joined the ranks of the bulls, but when he came into the bottomless pit this morning with a red shirt on they seized upon him and cast him out into utter darknes or, in other words, bounced him. —McCormick & Co. 's wheat advices per ca- ble, were of wet weather in bath England and Frauce.— Only eight loads of wheat for ex- port reported in New York up to 1 * m. ——Imports of flour and wheat into the United Kingdom last week were equal to 2,700,000 bu wheat against 4,310,000 bu for same week last year. Adding last week’s imports to the farmers’ deliveries, the total amount was less than the Kingdom's estimated weekly con- sumption by nearly 850,000 bu. Wheat seems to have developed once more into a bull market. The heavy increase in the visible supply was lost sight of entirely this morning, as also the continued free move- ment to market, r to spring wheat points, but the fact t arrivals here — A somewhat smaller was dwelt upon as indi- cating a decreased movement. There was more of a keen edge to cables and spot was quoted 1d higher in Livefpool; an improved demand was also noted, though quiet was generally the re- ort. Private cables were s y and firm. he weather in England was unsettled and dry, and warm in the Northwest. But, proba- bly, above all, was the rise in corn, which undoubtedly helped to elevate wheat through Sympathy. It was late in the session that the most strength was seen, a sudden advance in Chicago and reports of wet weather in England and France r 2 crowd a closing at latter bid, September at Tic to 7840, closing at the top; October at Me to 803%; November at 81%4c to 82 and worth S2 at close. May offered at 920, bid 91e. Spot grades were stron and higher, with the same demand that has been heretofore noted.

Corn—W hen the opening shell exploded this morning it was far up in the skies, both Chi- cago and St. Louis starting in excited and with buyers wildly clamoring for options be- M next month at largely higher prices. he continued dry and hot weather was what alarmed traders, and with numerous reports of damage floating around, most of which came in via Chicago, there was scare enough aroused to shoot prices up very quickly to the points they reached. Except at Chicago and New York, receipts were very small, and cables were strong at led advance. The market showed un- deniabie strength all the session, late taking another upward flight, when wheat was at its strongest, and finally closing at 2M a3 30 above yesterday. August sold at 39 to 39% and late 40c bid; September at 4088 to 41%c, closing at 41%c bid; October at 41e to 43c, closing at the top; year at 39c and late 39% was bid.

A few more “dark- lantern’’ appointments will emphasize the similitude and present it in bolder relief. — * — oO, Tux Senate is anxious to know who fur- nished the papers with a copy of the ex- tradition treaty. In regard to this mat- ter, Senators should curb their anger and remember that newspapers have ex- cellent facilities for getting the news. A FEW days ago a Chicago lady pre- sented a large bouquet to each of the an- archists pow on trial. If these men had remained innocent all their lives, they would never have received the slightest favor from the hands of a refined lady. SaM JONES ought to go back to Chicago and resume his labors where he left off. — ——ů— . — — — THE New England flshermen are still in- dignant because the Canadians interfere with their right to purchase herring for sardine packing; and the State Depart- ment has been again invoked to protect a limited class of American citizens in their right to practice a lucrative fraud on a much larger class of American citi- zens. It is announced that Lord RANDOLPH CHURCHILL is to be Chancellor of the Ex- chequer and leader of the House of Com- mons under the Salisbury Ministry. In some material respects CHURCHILL is un- worthy of such a promotion, but he is perhaps the ablest man in the Conserva- tive party, and the new Ministry will have to confront an Opposition in the Commons remarkable for talent, vigilance and ora- torical ability. GEN. LOGAN isin the position of a man who has to keep several balls in the air at the same time. His struggling boom needs the combined support of various elements, all of which need constant at- tention and watching. It appears that the Ohio ball has fallen to the ground in an unguarded moment. This blunder willcreate regret amongst thousands of Republicans, but Senator SHERMAN sur- veys the scene with undimmed eyes. — — —_ eo — — As long as Republicans are friendly to the prohibition idea, there are no logical grounds for their implacable hostility to Sr. JolN. If he was instrumental in de- feating the party in a Presidential elec- tion, he was also instrumental in saving the party from the shame and scandal that would have attached tothe election of such a man as the last Presidential nominee of the Republicans. We insist that Brother Sr. Jomwn shall havea fair showing from all parties. — 9 THE report that the Duke of Argyll and his son, the Queen's son-in-law, are both to take office under a Tory Ministry to represent the Whig element of a coalition against Irish home- rule, is followed by a report that troops are to be sent against 2,000 poor crofters who cultivate an island owned by Argyll. He is a model of mer- ciless landlordism, and the tender of a Cabinet position tosuch a Whig by a Tory Ministry portends a policy of reaction to- ward rack-rents and coercion. — w@ * — Reports from Kansas City in regard to the record in that city of Mr. A. K. Cur- TING raise a suspicion that his imprison- ment in the Mexican town of El Paso del Norte will probably not assume, under close inspection, the full proportions of a great international outrage, A man who deserts wife and children, leaving them dependent upon charity, and is next heard of in a foreign jail which seems to be protecting him from the fury of an enraged populace, may still have some claims upon our Government, but it is well enough to look into the Mexican side of his case before proceeding to extremes on his account. Ir is announced in our telegraphio col - umns to- day that a curious and ingenious trick for dodging Prohibition laws has been detected in Boston. A firm on Tre- mont street was found to be shipping eggs by the thousand to Rhode Island; and the accidental breaking of ‘one of these eggs showed that they were all made of porcelain and filled with whisky, each egg containing a good drink. It is not known how long these eggs have been in use or how many Prohibition States have been supplied with them; but when | soars to such daring heights, it is time to make BEN BuTLER Governor again. If it should ever become usual to pelt un- popular politicians with eggs like these, it would make the politician independent in his utterances and nerve him with fortitude to brave the missiles of public disapprobation. — — — e — — LANCASTER’S RECORD. R. D. Lancaster, formerly known as Dark Lantern Dick, but now by the favor of President CLEVELAND installed as the reform Surveyor of the Port of St. Louis, has led a stirring life and his career has been marked here and there by memor- able days. October 5, 1874, was one of these memorable days. On that day he went on the bond of JoHN Bussy, distiller, to the amount of $35,000. August 24, 1875, was another memorable day. On that day he again went on the bond of BusBY for $25 , 000. Wealthy and generous LANCASTER! Un- fortunately, according tothe statements of himself and of his partner and of his bussiness associates, at the time when he went security for thief BusBy, he was himself utterly bankrupt and not worth a cent. His partner, JoserH H. TIERNAN, Says: ‘*LANCASTER’S losses in the Big Muddy Iron Company came pretty heavy and fast in the spring of 1874, and after he had exhausted his personal effects, he began to mortgage his real estate, and on the llth day of June, 1874, made the first of these incumbrances. This was prior to his signing the Busby bond. This incumbrance was for $11,877.20 and covered two pieces of property. Later on he was com- pelled to increase this mortgage and on the 24th day of April, 1876, borrowed $15,000. With this he paid off the $11,000 deed of trust and the balance of the loan was applied toward tne payment of Big Muddy obligations.“ There are two other memorable days in the Lancastrian record. On May 19, 1876, the United States optained judgment against Mr. LANCASTER on the Busby bond in the sum of $35,000. On May 20, 1876, the same United States obtained judg- ment against the same LANCASTER on the second Busby bond in the sum of $25,000. But the United States did not get its money back. For by a curious coinci- dence, Mr. LANCASTER, against whom these suits had been pending since Octo- ber, 1875, had increased the mortgage on his already mortgaged property within four weeks of thetime when the judg- ment was rendered, andas Mr. TIERNAN says: ‘‘I remember that LANCASTER mort- „ gaged his homestead in block 1986, front- “ing forty feet on Compton avenue, some “time in the year 1876.“ He mortgaged it on May 16, 1876, just three days before judgment was entered against him. After the government had compromised Mr. LANCASTER’S liability of $60,000 for $500 Mr. LANCASTER bought back his homestead for 863, and so qualified himself for appointment to the fattest office in Missouri under a reform Adminis- tration. The facts we have mentioned are con- tributed by Mr. LANCASTER himself and his business partner, Mr. TIERNAN, and were furnished by them to the Govern- ment as evidence that LANCASTER had not swindled the Government and ought not to be investigated. — — — — VEST AND ATKINS, Senator VEST, in testifying before the Platt Committee in regard to that Indian tradership scandal, warmly indorses In- dian Commissioner ATKINS as a thoroughly honest man, but nevertheless relates facts which show that Mr. Arkrns’ honesty is not of the kind which makes a man over- scrupulous in handling the spoils of patronage. Senator VEST says ATKINS was indig- nant when told that Senator JACKSON’S brother was using a trader’s license as a means of extorting blackmail, ll didn: ised that he would write to JACKSON on the subject and would protect the men whom JACKSON was trying to blackmail, but explained that he would have to do this by licensing REYNOLDS or CLEVE- LAND jointly with JACKSON, as he could not revoke the latter’s license without in- curring the hostility of Senator Jackson. This answer was not strictly in line with the idea that public office is a public trust. It is more in accord with the old spoils idea that public office and the patronage thereof may properly be used as a means of paying for political support in the past or for further promotion in the future. When Mr. ATKINS subsequently told Senator Vest that he had seen Senator JACKSON and would have to stand by the latter’s brother, and could not fulfill the promise made to VST in regard to the license, our Sena- tor admits that he was surprised and indignant, but denies that he ever doubted or disparaged the honesty of the Indian Commissioner. Mn. ATKINS may be honest in the ordin- ary acceptation of the word, but his ideas of official rectitude appear to have been borrowed from the old Republican regime that so long kept the Indian Bureau reek- ing with corruption and scandal. —— — — % — SENATOR BTLAln, from the Committee on Education and Labor, has reported favor- ably a joint resolution proposing that an amendment in relation to alcoholic liquors be submitted to the Legislatures of the States for ratification or rejection. The proposed amendment provides that after 1900 the manufacture, sale and im- portation of distilled alcoholic intoxicat- ing liquors shall be prohibited, except for medicinal, mechanical, chemical and scientific purposes and for use in the arts. Such action does not necessarily imply that the committee favors such a consti- tutional amendment; itsimply means that the committee favorsthe scheme of giving the inventive genius of Massachusetts , : 4 _ ‘ ers 8 r eee POY eee ae Spe ee 7 * 1 I 4 = 7 7 * , f 8 7 ö the American people an opportunity to 28 3 8 Sas ; F r ees a 2 * 1 mys x 3 2 Pe 7 Frye eee a ap? * 1 2 * | deal with theiquestion as a national issue in the only way provided by the constitution. On the same principle it is always right to submit to the poeple an amendment to a State constitution whenever such a de- mand is made by a considerable aud re- sponsible element of the people. This is in perfect accord with the theory of popu- lar government and with the true spirit of Democracy, 2 THERE is a growing belief that both the political machines of Ohio need a bath. LORD SALISBURY is now in acondition to reap a plenteous harvest of varied and promiscuous advice. THE Ohio people are learning something about the diffusive and penetrating quality of coal oil, WHEN the Ohio Republicans finish expelling each other there may be some chance for a Democratic majority. FOREIGN tramps who deal in bombs and dynamite should not be protected by treaty as „political offenders. THERE is no evidence to show that Senator PAYNE has been quieting any of his colleagues with a coal-oil sedative. OUR ungrateful Republican contemporaries continue to ignore the spotiess and angelic Sr. JOHN in his Prohibition campaign. Ir the St. Louis Republicans want to catch an inspiring view of unity and brotherly love, let them look in the direction of Ghio. WHILE DORSEY is abroad he should study the English trick by which one elector can cast half a dozen votes on the same day. THE over-confident Democrats of Missouri should study the fate of the seemingly secure hardware building, and learn wisdom before it is too late. SaM JONES ougbt to tackle St. Louis next year during the Saengerfest. He would be able to learn several ‘‘wrinkles’’ about beer- drinking of which he is now ignorant. GEN. CHARLES GROSVENOR is reported to have said that JErr Davis could get more Republican votes in Ohio than John Logan. JErr's increasing popularity in Ohio is an- other proof that the war is over. Prevention Better Than Cure, From the Boston Herald. When the Government undertakes to handle an amount in excess of its needs, it is sure to run into extravagance and waste, with the result not of returning the money to those who earned it, but of pouring it into the pockets of officials, contractors, and other tax-absorbers and revenue-suckers. This is not only unconstitutional, but most unjust. The Government has no warrant to collect from the people any money beyond what it requires to meet its obligations and legitimate expenses, with a reasonable treasury balance. To raise $50,000,000 or $100,000,000 in excess of this is an abuse of the taxing power, and an economic blunder which would be tolerated in no other civilized Government. Why will not the people undertake in earnest this year to elect a Congress that will do away with the surplus by preventing it? Compounding Felony. From the New York WORLD. A dispatch from St. Louis tells of an appli- cation made tothe Circuit Courtin that city by the Receiver of the Provident Savings Bank for leave to receive back the entire amount of the defalcation of the absconding cashier, Almon B. Thomson, on condition of sur- rendering all evidence of the defaulter’s crime, and of course foregoing prosecu- tion. The Receiver is an officer of the Court. Hence we find an officer appealing toacourt of justice for permission to violate the law and letacriminal escape, in consid- eration of asum of money to be paid by the guilty party. Is there not something unique about this transaction? And it is added that he Court will, it is believed, approve the proposition. If some poor man in St. Louis had stolen a bag of flour, would a judge openly violate the lawinorderto shield him from punishment? Hardly. ä The Private Pension Record. From the Detroit Tribune. The passage ot one or two pension bills over the President's veto shows that to those two or three he was not as fully informed as the House Committee. The numerous others that will not be passed over his veto show that he was better informed than the committee. The veto of but 100 private bills out of 600, and the refusal of the House to repass them is proof enough that the President is not governed by hatred ot the Union soldier, but hatred of fraud. 0 MEN OF MARK.

Continued Boom of the Illumination Fung —Some Generous Merchants. Treasurer John S. Mofiitt was surer to-day than everthat Franklin avenue would come up with her quota. Why, he said, eit js astonishing to observe how the dealers along that street are taking holdof the matter. Some of the smallest merchants, men who have only one story to their place of business, are donating as high as $25. Why? Simply because they see it will do them such an amount of good, They know that Franklin avenue is the con- duit for the stream of people from the north and northwest end of the city in the evening, and they begin to see how an illumination would benetit such athoroughfare. Juste ag ofthe illuminations taking people away they will have an illumination themselves. Another thing that everybody ought to be pleased to see is the growing }p- ulurity of the fund. I have on the bes now the names of over six hun dred who have contributed this year, a nun ber almost double the contributors of last year. Every one seems to be taking an in terestinit. You would be surprised but yer. terday 1 think it was I received a subscription from a manutacturer away out lu tbe suburbs who wrote that he sent his check be- cause he was in for helping anything that would benefitthe city. lle was making his money in proportion to the prosperity of tbe city, and he wanted to stand his share for the fund. Itis such noble examples as these that fill us with encouragement. By the way, the illuminations this year are going to be bigger than ever. Just thinkfof it! Almost two miles more ofillumination brought in by Franklin avenue, and besides that sixty electric lights on Olive street from Fourth to Fourteenth street, suspended over the middle of the street, an average of six are lights toa block.“ SUBSCRIPTIONS RECEIVED. The employes of H. L. Fox & Co. have sent $4.25 to the Post-DisparcH Employes’ Fund, the amount being subscribed as follows: C. E. Robidaux, $1; John T. Fox, 0c; G. F. Ernst, 250; John Smith, 2c; A.

A young American teacber in Japan ini- tiated his pupiis intothe mystery of the game and then invited a friend in Yokohama to get up anine from the American clerks and play with the boys. The friend thus describes the game: The umpire wasa Jap. who spoke no That was the first difficulty under English. which we laborad. When a disputed point arose the whole of the other nine would splutter classic Japanese at bim by the yard, evidentiy quoting all the fathers from Confucius down; while our good old Anglo- Saxon expietives were lost on him This, with the fact that my men were rusty and rather out of trim for running, soon put us on the wrong side of the tally sheet. Matters grew worse untilin the fourth inning, when I hit upon a bright idea. I knocked a grounder and started for first base at my best stop that - car speed. The fat little short-stop fell on the ballin his usual haphazard but lucky fashion, picked up and let it drive at Sumi Joko, the black-eyed first baseman. Sumi caught it like alittle man and stood squarely in my path, with his artless Japanese smile and the ball. Acting under a sudden inspiration I dodged to the left, executed a flank movement and reached the base before Sumi realized the situ- ation. Then there was a hubwvub. The almond-eyed Japanese umpire stood to bis guns, however. He said that I had reached the base without being touched, and that I was therefore safe to all law and precedent. My men were so couvulsed with laughter that the next one who came tothe bat knocked a feeble ‘‘daisy cutter’’ into the second base- man's hands and then ran me off my base. I started for second, however, fully determined to steal that base if Yankee ingenuity could Coit. Sami, the biack-eyed first baseman, was hot upon my trail. I dodged to the right, but the second baseman was prepared and beaded me off. Finally, I out-maneuvered him and got between him and the base. But a new difficulty awaited me. The center fielder had played up in good shape and covered the base. TL ball was thrown to him by the now breathless baseman and I was ain headed off. I circled about in the hope of luring the fielder from the base and suc- ceeded. But this profited me nothing, for by that time the whole Japanese nine was gath- ering around that base in astate bordering on insanity. Aftertwo or three revolutions in my orbit I broke away toa neighboring rice field, with the whole nine at my heels, and the umpire running along to see fair play. Finally laughter and an unseen obstacie brought me to the ground. The second fielder umped upon me and pounded me triumphant- y with the ball, while the umpire officially, and with as much solemnity as his lack of breath permitted, declared me‘‘out.’’ That broke up the game. My men were fairly doubled up with laughter, and my friend, the schoolmaster, raged up and down, filled with scorn and wrath against his unfortunate pupils, into whose heads he had labored three months to incuicate the principles of base ball, with this ludicrous result. — — — CHADWICK’S CHAT. The Difficulty with Umpires in Calling Balls and Strikes. I met Tommy York near the Brooklyn bridge last week and I had quite an interesting inter- view with him, during which we giscussed um- piring in general and Tom's disagreeable ex- periences in the business in particular. I asked Tom why it was that no umpire could cecide the question of balls and strikes cor- rectly. I told him that I had noted the work of all the League umpires at the Polo Grounds forthe past three vears very particularly, and that I had as yet to see the first umpire ve thorough! eorrec 8 cisions in calling balls and strikes. My — in the reporters’ gallery atthe Polo Grounds enabled me to see correctiy whether the balls came over the plate or not, but, of course. I could not judge as to their being correct in re- ard to the height called for, as the gallery is too high for that. I said, Lou, yourself Tom, called strikes on balls esterday, which were wide ofthe plate, and I have n Fer- guson do it, and, in fact, every umpire I bave sa 2 the position there. Now, why is this, were sometime nearly a foot wide of the late, and it is in is which I do not retty hard position to e such speedy balls correctly, is mighty think merits the attention of the coming Joint Committee on Rules, and that is todo away with the dividing line at the waist, he finding it extremely difficult to decide whether waist- high bails are above or below the belt and therefore high or low accordingly. A high ball should not exceed the line of the bats- man’s shoulder, nor a low ball be lower than the line of his knee when standing upright. Gossip of the Game. Moolie will probably be released by Chicago. The New Yorks have improved in their team work. The report that Tom Deasley is to be re- leased by the New Yorks is denied. Esterbrook says the boys are on the road to that championship pennant, and it looks like . The Brooklyns win at home and lose abroad, ape the Indians lose, no matter where they piay. The charge against Clark of the Brooklyn — fighting at Cincinnati has been with- rawn. The I. X. L.s defeated the Knights of Labor for the third successive time last Sunday. The score was 10 tov. The game between the Browns andthe Bal- timores, which wasto have taken place yes- terday at Baltimore, was stopped in the second inning by rain. Former Manager Gifford of the Indians has had several tempting offers from out-of-town clubs, but is doubtful whether he will go back to base ball again, Scott, the first baseman of the Baltimore Ciub, has muffed but one ballin three years. He has twice led the first basemen of the American Association, Last year the Detroit Club came very near oing into bankruptcy; now it is said to be 30,000 ahead ths season,so far. The Big Four’’ cost $12,000 and have proved a good in- vestment. We as a people are not particularly blood- thirsty in our intentions, but we can give Con- nolly, the umpire who gerrymandered victory trom the Detroit base ball banners, due notice that it rains mortified eggs in every hamlet for the like of him, and thata deeply incensed and outraged people await un opportunity to give him a shower.—[hKulamazoo Telegraph. Joe Hornung, of the Bostons, says that John Ryan, once with the Athletics, bus the best record of put-outsinthe field, 64%ce having disposed of twelve in anine-inning game. Joe says his best record is eleven put out, one assist, and that iu games with the Buffalos and Metropolitans he put out nine men. Han- lan has put out ten in center field and Jimmy Manning nine in the same position, The antics which the superstitious Baltimore players perform with a new ball are very amusing. Houck first gets it and wipes it vigorously on the bottom of his shoe. He then throws it to Manning, who rubs the bali vigorously on the grass, spits on it, and gives ita parting rub on his leit elbow. Muldoon then gets the ball and wipes it on his cap. after which he stains it with a piece of plug tobac- co, The bail is then supposed to be in good condition, and is passed to the pitcher. — —— A BIG WINNER. The Record of the Horse That Won the Eclipse Stakes. Bendigo, the winner of the Eclipse Stakes of £10,000 at Sandown Park, England, last Fri- day, was bred in Ireland by the late Mr. M. Taylor, and when a 2-year-old was sold at the Curragh for 70 guineas to Mr. T. Connolly, be- ing then practically untried. Bendigo was not run as a 22-year-old, but at the Curragh in September, 1883, he was sold to his present owner, Mr. H. T. Barclay, for 80 guineas, with his engagements for the Cesarewitch and Cambridgeshire. He was brought over to En- giand, where he took a bad cold, and ran un- placed for the Cesarewitch, and so badi did he continue to do that Mr. Barclay was about to ‘‘scratch’’ him for the Cambridgeshire, but he was persuaded out of the idea, and the colt started carrying ninety-four pounds, winning by a neck, with the odds at 50 to 1 against him from a eld of twenty-four other runners, which included the Americans, Girofle and Ab- botsford, he covering the distance—a mile and 240 yards—in 2:072-5. Bendigo's next race was tor the Liverpool Autumn Cup, when, with 123 pounds, he ran unplaced. Asaé4-year-old in 1884 Bendigo only ran three times. On the first occasion he was unplaced for the Stewards’ Cup at Goodwood, with 117 pounds. He was next second to Florence for the Cam- bridgeshire, at1l4 pounds, and subsequentiy unplaced for the Chetwynd Handicap at Leices- ter, with 116 pounds. Again, Bendigo was only out three times in 1885, but he did much better thanin 1884. He began by winning the Lin- colnshire Handicap, with 117 pounds, running the wile (straight) in 1:564-5, when he beat a eld of twenty. He next won the Hardwicke Stakes at Ascot, when, with 138 pounds, he ran the Swiniey course, a mile and a half; in 2:43 2-5; while.for his third and last race, until the Eclipse as above, he was again second, witb 134 pounds, for the Cambridgeshire, the French-bred 3-year-old filly, Plaisanterie, at 124 pounds, winning easily. Gentlemen’s Driving Club. The officers of the Gentlemen's Driving Club have arranged another excellent pro- gramme for next Saturday afternoon’s trotting and pacing matinee at the Fair Grounds. The first race onthe card willbethe unfinished members’ trot. Tne second a cash sweep- stakes of 210 for pacers, with $25 added by the Club, second horse to get $15 and third to save stakes, mile heats, three bestin five, in harness; three or more to enter and start. The third race is for the three-minute class, mile heats, to road wagon or cart; gold medal to first, silver medal to second and driving whip to third. Entries for the last two races can be made at the Secretary’s office, 1016 Gar- rison avenue, up to 4 oO clock p. m. Friday next. The stake for 8-year-olds created so much interest last week that the club has opened a similar stake to be trotted for at next week’s matinee, the conditions of the stake the same in every respect as that trotted on Saturday. The entries to it will close on Friday week. — HERE, HEARLD. A Chance for the New Fighter to Prove His Metal. John Shaniey, a Brooklyn sporting man, has publisned a challenge which should bring Mr. Hearld, the paper pugilist, to terms. In these days, says Mr. Shanley, when the ex- change of a challenge between pugilistsis a pretty good assurance that neither man wants to meet the other, I feel a little shy about ask- ing through your columns the attention of Mr. Edward Mallahan to the fact that I would like to pit against Mr. Frank Hearid ina boxing match a young man whois greatly his superior. so far as my judgment goes. I notice that Mr. Mallahan calls himself Mr. Hearid’s ‘‘man- ager,’’ which seems to show that Mr. Herald is an actor or theatrical performer instead of an adept with the gloves—a view borne out by the other fact that he does the greater part of his fighting in the newspapers instead oi in the ring. But Iwill take a more liberal view of the matter and desire to say that if Mr Hearid really wants for once in his life to put on the gloves with a man whois at least his equal he can be accommodated immediately, not only with such an opportunity, but also witha lace for the match, in which there will be no nterference by the authorities, except for good and sufficient cause. In case Mr. Hearid wants to have one gvod match on in his pugilistic career let him instruct his manager to meet me at the Police Gazette office any time he likes. There he can pull on an event with a young man who has no newspaper record, but who is areal boxer and who, in my opinion, will lul) Mr. Hearid and his aspir- ations to sleep with a rapidity that will aston- ish him. If Mr. Hearid, for prudential rea- sons, gives this offer the go-by (and he must excuse me for reminding him that it was lwho introduced Jack Dempsey into the riug)I shall not call him a ‘‘coward’’ ora‘‘chump.’’ On the contrary, I shall greatly admire cau- tion and res him as a pugilist wise enough to do his fighting exclusively in the papers, and do it, at that, through the medium of his manager. Yours respectfully, JOHN SHANLEY. No. 29 Grand street, Brooklyn, E. D. HE HAD CHAMPION BLOOD. “Jimmy” Sullivan, a Relative of John L., Knocks Out a Miner. PITTSBURG, Pa., July 27.—A Barry’s Station, Pa., special says: One of the most quietly ar- ranged prize fights witnessed im this section for years, took place about one mile distant from this place. The principals in this affair were miners named Jimmy Sullivan, better known as ‘‘Buckey’’ and Miles McGurk. Sulli- weighs 170 pounds. MoGurk is 32 weighs 160 pounds and stands almost 6 van is30 years of age, 6feet in height and 4 jealousy has always existed between the two men and their friends as to which was the better man. Last evening it was decided to fight it out there and then. As the night was dark, miners lamps were secured and the party went to an old mine breach in the mountain, inside of which the fight took place. The breach is about twenty-five feet deep, several hundred feet wide, and to avoid detection the crowd went downto the sandy bottom of the hole, hung the lamps around and arranged the ring. Dick Smith was chosen referee. Time was called and the two men shook hands. Eleven rounds were fgugbt, during which both were terribly beaten. In the first round McGurk struck Sullivan on the neck, turning himaroundlike atop. Sullivan eyed his man more cautiously in the second round and closed McGurk’s right eye with a terrific right-hander. The third was characterized by desperate slugging, equally divided, In the fourth and fifth some hard 9 was done. During these rounds Sullivan's nose was broken by a well directed and powerful biow from McGurk. The sixth and seventh were light ones, the men sparring for wind. Inthe eighth Sullivan forced the fighting and knocked eGurk clean off his feet. Inthe ninth MeGurk was groggy but game, and got in two hard ones on his op- ponent’s nose. In the tenth McGurk was again knocked senseless by his adversary. The crowd soon dispersed. Efforts are being made to keep the affair from the authorities. Sullivan came here from Chicago several years ago, and claims he is not only an acquaintance butarelation ofthe slugger from Boston, to whom he bears a resembiance, * Is He Cannon? It was rumored around in sporting circles to-day that the John Graham who is to wrestie with Antonio Pierre at the People’s to-morrow evening is none other than Tom Cannon, the Cincinnati man who defeated Evan Lewis, the strangier, at Cincinnati.” Graham is the name under which Cannon masquerades when he desires to play the part of an unknown. Greek George and Pierre will give an exhibition of scientific wrestling when the match is over, and later on willarrange for a money match between themselves. Warren Won. MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., July 27.—Jim Collins of Pittsburg was whipped here last night in à match with Tommy Warren of Louisville. Both are featherweights and Warren is the world’s champion of his class. The fight was fora percentage of the gate receipts. Eight rounds were fought and Warren was declared winner. Bicycle Budget.

The roof, thatched with warped and weather- stained shingles, has slid over the narrow passage-way to accept the kindly support of its old neighbor, No. 407. Side by side they had wintered many ayear. No artisan interposed his friendly hand between them and the showers and blasts, which slowly ate the mortar from its seamsandthe pith fromthe posts.

The second floor was ten- anted by John Gamble, wife and three children. Mrs. Gamble and the children re- tired shortiy before 10 clock last night. Mr. Gamble took a seat near one of the windows, hoping to catch a breath of fresh air before retiring. While seated here, about 10:30q’ clock he became aware of a slight motion, the cause or nature of which he was at first unable to determine. He was not given many moments, however, to deliberate, for the floor soon began sagging in the center, and with a crash fell to the first floor, straining the walls as it went down and PRECIPITATING THE GAMBLE FAMILY and household goods.

An alarm ot fire was turned in from box No. 116 by Private Watch- man Ainsworth, but this Was un- necessary as there was no fire in the building at the time of the accident. The loss to the Gambles on furniture is about between $300 and 3. No loss can properly be saidto have been sustained on the build- years. THE SIMMONS CRASH.

To a reporter Mr. Beckman said: I had been troubled for many years with a short- ness of breath and pain around the heart. Sometimes when I would go to bed in the evening it would almost kill me; it seemed as oa { could not get my breath, If Lattempted to run up-stairs I would be almost dead by the time I would get to the top of the stairs. I had tried several doctors, but none of them could do me any good. Indeed, one doctor—the only one that 1 saw that told me I had any trouble with my heart—came near doing me up for good, try- ing, as he said, to give me some medicine to paralyze one of the muscles of the heart. quit his medicine as I am satisfied he would have paralyzed me entirely. Well, after YEARS OF AGONY, worse than deati: itself, I went to see Dr. Me- Coy. Thedoctor examined my case and at once told me what my disease was—that I had trouble with my heart. He gave me medicine which Ihave been taking, and I feel likea newman. Ihave no more of those terrible feelings as though my breath was being pulled away from me. I am satisfied, at last, I have found a doctor that understands my case. The statement of Mr. W. R. Beckman, given above, can easily be verified. He lives at 1608 North Sixteenth street, and is an engineer for Laeschen & Sons, the wire-rope manufactur- ers, at 903 North Main street. DOCTOR J, GRESAP McCOY, Late of Bellevue Hospital, New Tork.

THE DANGER OF FIGHTING IN THE STATE OF DELAWARE. Prospect of Trouble for the Golden-Mc- Creavey Party—The Peril Which Sullivan Invites When He Is Drunk—What Hearld and the Boston Boy Should Do-Wiil Smith and Mitchell Meet In England —Speculation as to the Result of Such a Contest—Teemer’s Fall—Macon’s Melange. PHILADELPHIA, July 22.—The laws of Dela- ware and New Jersey are very severe, and what is worse for those who offend against them, they are very strictly enforced, espe- cially against strangers. A couple of weeks ago, a lot of sports hired a tug one night, and steamed down the Delaware, until they ar- rived at Dupont’s old powder pier, between Chester and the mouth of Christiana Creek. It is a lonesome spot far away from the near- est house, and the ‘‘excursionists’’Jthought they were bothering no one. They were mis- taken for they were in the State of Delaware. They disembarked and ‘‘Nitchie’’ Golden and Jack McCreavey fought eleven rounds Mar- quis of Queensberry style with Jimmy Ryan for referee. Golden won. The party re- turned to the city and reports of the fight appeared in all the papers. Then the powers that be in the state of the Blue Hen’s Chicken discovered that the majesty of the law had been offended and they dispatched the Chief of Police of Wilmington to this city to arrest the offenders. Golden, McCreavey and Ryan were apprehended and brought be- fore a magistrate who committed them to prison to await a requisition from the Gov- ernor of Delaware. Meantime their counsel is making strenuous endeavors to have them released on.a writ of habeas corpus but itis not pellewag tha his efforts will be successful. The maximum penalty for being even a wit- ness to a prize fight in Delaware, for spectg- tors are equaly guilty with principals, is ten years imprisonment, $500 fine, fifty lashes given in the public market place and one hour in the pillory. There seems to be little doubt thatthe trio will be taken to Delaware, and ifthey areand their judge isa severe one it will go hard with them. It is safe to say that there willbe no more prize lights in Delaware for some time to come. * * The antics of the drunken policeman, who, armed with a pistol, went to Sullivan’s piace the other night and tried to pick a quarrel with him, should put the big fellow on his uard and awaken in him a sense of the peril n which he stands. A year or so ago, when reports of Sullivan’s Boston carousals were in all the papers, a well known man of the world saidtome: ‘‘Sullivan certainly does not see the danger he runsin goingonaspree. When in his cups he is overbearing and offensive. Some day he will run across a man who will not tuke any of his nonsense. Just as like as not it will be some puny fellow anxious to make a record at his expense. I would hate to see any such harm come to Sullivan, but he is bringing it upon himself. Mark my words, if ever he goes to New York, the police of that city will lay for him and do him up. There is getting to be a wide spread belief that no one would be seriously punished who shot him. Certainly little would be done to any officer who should do him up in the discharge of his duty. lam not so sure that some patrolman anxious for notoriety and promotion would not strain a point, if Sullivan was drunk, to bring on a difficulty that would give him opportunity to use his pistol on him. If he were wise he wonld be a very sober and polite man, doing all his üghting in the ring, and there only. This conversation came back to me a few weeks ago, when the editor of a New York dramatic paper suggested in print that Sulli- van was making a nuisance of himself and that there was reasonable doubt of anyone be- ing punished who would shoot him in a diff. culty. Ithink this idea was uppermost in the drunken policeman’s mind when he sought Sullivan out. Fortunately John was sober, and more fortunate will he be if he takes the lesson to heart and keeps so. * 1 * I think there is little likelihood of Sullivan engaging in any more fights for the present. Mitchell has gone to England and, though he says he intends coming back here soon, there are many who doubt that he willdoso. They think he will first try the fresh fields and pastures green of Australia. There is no one out there that he cannot reasonably hope to conquer, and there is big money for him in a visit to the antipodes. oney he is after and where it is easiest obtained is the place most attractive to him. Jem Smithand Mitchell may come together on the other side. If they do the result of the battle would have much to do in determining whetber or not Smith will come here this winter. Should Mitchell defeat him he and his backers would know for a_ certainty that he would have no business here. Should he best or defeat Mitchellit would give them as- surance that there was money galore for him in the Western world and here he would quickly hie. I don’t see how Mitchell can avoid fighting him. He claimed to be the champion of England and he certainly was the Sporting Life’s champion when he came here. Smithis now the champion. Philoso- phy teaches us that two objects of equal bulk cannot occupy the same space at the same time, and Ido not see how such a little place as England can hold two champions simul- taneously. One or t’other must be the better man and the curiosity to find out which is which will be so great that I think Charley will have to agree to deter- mine it by Aa fight. Should he return here without fighting Smith or being matched to do so, it would be with loss of prestige, for people would feel that if he were sure of his ability to best him he certainly would not leave him without trying todo so, therefore I teel certain that he and Smith will come together. Mitchell could not be induced in this country to fight Greenfield. Whether he will take kindly to Greenfield’s master re- mains to be seen. Should Mitchell refuse or avoid a fight with Smith it will cock the latter up amazingly and induce par- ties here to offer him big money to come over. If he does his first mark would be Sullivan and his success or failure with him would deter- mine Jargely his future. The talk.of matching inferior men, no matter how good, against him is for advertising purposes mainly. Smith’s position is like that of adarkey who went fishing for trout and caughta catfish. Throwing the ‘*catty’’ back into the stream, he observed: ‘‘When I fishes for trout I wants trout and nuffen else.“ Smith wants cham- pion honors to make big money, and he can’t afford to waste his time on the ‘‘catties’’ of the ring. 2 * It the backers of Frank Hearld are as eager to have ‘‘Reddy’’ meet Sullivan as they pro- tess they can soon be accommodated. Sulli- van stands ready to meet Hearld at any time for from $5 to $5,000 a side, at any place within a reasonable distance of New York, where the affair can be pulled off without police interfer- ence. Chester Park near Cincinnati seems just such a place. It can be reached in twenty- four hours from New York, and the decision of the court there in the cases of Jack Burke and Peter Nolan shows that ‘‘scien- tino“ boxing-matches under the aurpices of the Chester Park Athletic Association are legal. Sullivan knows Cincinnati well, and has many stanch friends there. Hearid per- sonaily is a very pleasant, agreeable youn fellow whose courage in facing Sullivan would make him many friends in the Queen City. Both would have fair play and no favor. I throw out this hint merely as a suggestion, — unlike the lawyers, | make no charge or it, 2 * It there is any business where honesty pays better than in the sporting, dollar for doliar invested, I do not know of it, and yet there is more crookedness in sporting affairs than in any other vocation depending oa the public tor its support. Were it not that the charges against John Teemer, the oarsman, originated through the unsavory Courtney, I should not. hesitate one moment to believe them implicit- ly. As itis, the testimony of his former back- er, Mr. Gorman, seems almost conclusive. What ashame that a man so capable and so talented as Teemer should thus throw his life and career away for a few paltry dollars. His correspondence with Hanlan, ublished afew months ago, showed that there been 1 44 negotiations between them. Uptothattime Teemer was looked on as the coming champion ofthe world. It was the intention of his ker to have taken him to England and to have pitted him against AKN Ry belies eh 8 11 * ; neere ve that he is a faster 2 han the — A Had he gone to land id 5 and defeated him he those of an English colonist than ofan Ame ican.

Men should not be condemned hastily or without good Cause and those accused of unsportsman|;, conduct should not rest tamely under the — putation.

All men cannot attain it, but all men can show that they struggle manfully and honestly for it. MACcOoy SINGING BROTHERS. Return of the Fest Excursionists—The Fest in St. Louis Three Years Hence. Last night the Freier Maennerchor returned from Milwaukee. The members were met gt the Union Depot by those who remained at home andescorted tothe hall at Twentieth and Dodier streets, where a banquet wag spread, and all was made as merry as the Saengerfest party know how. There were songs, a banquet, toasts and speeches by the President, Louis Essig, and the Vice- Presi. dent, August Schade. Then there wag more singing, more speaking, more eati;,. and late the entire chor went home to dream of another Saengerfest that u eclipse all predecessors in brilliance To - night there will return from Milwaukee large detachments of the Socialer Saengerchor, Liederkranz, Orpheus Saengerchor, Rock Springs Saengerhund Fichenkranz, Germania Sangerbund and the Apollo. Some of the members of these organizations will remain for the remuinder of the week jy Milwaukee recipients of the hospitabh!. atten. tions of the local singing societies. On the arrival of the detachments to-night they will go to their halls, where lunches will be served. The return will be formally celebrated next week by ban uets in the headquarters of A these organizations. The preparations for the next Saengerfest which will be held in S8. Louis will not be begun immediately. The decision as to time was left to the St. Louis societies, and it v be either in two or three years. The local predisposition of the Societies is to have the fest in turee years, which would allow a large margin ot time for preparation. The first step will de tho organization of a press com- mittee, which will be the nucleus around which the festwork will be built. This committee will be called to meet by some member of the local German press, and will consist of one member from every aper in the city, It is probable and most likely that Louis Willich of Die Laterne will be made chairman ofthis committee. His experience in previous work has led to the suggestion of his name by local German press men. ATTEMPTED HIGHWAY ROBBERY. Assaulted by an Unknown Man—News from East St. Louis. In Squire Bunyan’s court this morning the following cases were disposed of: James Hig- gins, disturbing the peace, was fined $3 and costs; James Martin, disturbing the peace, dismissed. Joe Bresnahan and Isaac and Semer New- ton, colored, were arrested at an early hour this morning by the police, on suspicion of being crooks. Not being able to make a case on the trio they were discharged from custody. Coroner Woods is holding an inquest on the body of B. C. Harvey, who died from wounds received by a knife in the hands of Vic Gavis at a picnic last Sunday evening near City Park. Neil Mecullum of St. Louis and Mary A. Vol lin of Pacific, Mo., were united in marriage this morning by Squire Shea. Robert Mendel, a lad 16 years of age re- ceived a severe beating from an unknown man about 5:30 o’clock this morning. Mendel has been driving a milk wagon for Jobn Metzson, and when near the junction of Mis. souri avenue and Fifth street the wan caught the reins and stopped the horse. He demanded money of Mendel and on his re- fusal, struck himaterrible blow in the face and was beating him when he was driven off by the arrival of several parties in answer to Mendel’s cries for help. The man has not been arrested. AROUSED HIS IRE. Drowned ina Well—A Bad Postmaster Re. moved—Missouri Matters. St. JOSEPH, July 27.—Dr. E. O.

THE STOCKHOLDERS PROTEST AGAINST THE PROPOSED THOMSON BOND SETTLEMENT, Opinion Gaining Ground That the Proposi- tion Should Be Accepted—Hearings In Court—More Intervening Petitions—Meet- ing of Stockholders—Receiver Thompson Talks. Judge Lubke attended in chambers to-day at the Court-house, but no mater in connection with the affairs of the collapsed Provident Bank was brought to his attention during the morning hours. He will sit to-morrow in Court No. 2, after Judge Dillon has disposed of some motions in that division of the Court. The only document filed during the morning, pearing upon the bank affairs, was the foliow- ing remonstrance of Herman A. Haeussler, a stockholder: A REMONSTANCE. And now comes H. A, Haeussler, one of the stockholders in said bank, and respectfully obiects to the terms of the proposed com- promise with the sureties of Almon B. Thom- son, the absconded cashier of the agi tae Bank, or the surrender or transfer of his official bonds and hypothecated securities on ms as proposed. * rt: HERMAN A. HAEUSSLER. This matter will probably be called up to- morrow morning, when the petition of the re- ceiver on the subject will be considered. At the outset there appeared to be strong opposi- tion to the proposed settiement, but some of the attorneys direetly con cerned as depositors have experienced a change of sentiment, and this morning they were standing in the court- house rotunda advocating the settle- ment as the best arrangement for the creditors ofthe bank. Its acceptance meant the imme- diate receipt of $50,000 to be applied te pay- ment of the first dividend; its rejection sig- nified the sacrifice of a certainty for the hazy chance of recovery after years of litigation in the courts against the sure- ties. Said one of the largest depositors: „perhaps I know nothing about law although I have practiced it fifteen years, but common gense dictates to me that the proposition is one that possesses all the advantages on the side of the depositors. If there is any com- pounding of a felony in the transaction it certainly cannot relate to the receiver. It is his duty simply to make the best he can out of the assets and to realize every dollar possible in respect of claims due the bank. The receiver is not clothed with authority to spend money in bunting downa criminal. Let all the little creditors fume and frizzie and spit like saus- ages ina frying-pan and throw the receiver's petition out of court and what will be the re- sult? Why take the case of Obey E. Owen, the defaulting teller of the Third Na- tional Bank. The suits against his sureties are still pending in the courts. They have been there for years, and the term of the convict is well-nigh expiring, but no settlement has yet been reached with his bondsmen. In one case there has been no trial, and in another there was a hung jury. We want no such experience as that with Thomson’s bondsmen. It is absurd to hear the hue and outcry about a perfectly plain and clear proposition based on the most speedy method of settling with bondsmen.’’ THE ANNOUNCEMENT in last evening’s PostT-DISPATCH tothe effect that Receiver Thompson contemplated resign- ing the trust created some uneasiness among the creditors, and the receiver was eagerly sought forinformation. Mr. Thomp- son admitted that he had been discouraged by the attitude of the depositors relative to the proposed settlement with the cashier’s bondsmen and it gave him a fit of big disgust. The parties who have the largest interests at stake in the Provident Bank had talked with him, however, and expressed their strong desire that he should go on and administer the trust, ignoring the comments and criticisms of various people, and that ap- peared to be the right course, unless the stockholders could adopt some plan that would be practicable for winding up the insti- tution themselves. If they could he wasin favor of that, and would cheerfully resign. It seemed, however, that women and minors figured largely upon the list of the stockhold- ers and it would be difficult to carry out that arrangement. A committee of stockholders had been selected to examine the books, and every facility would be extended them by the receiver in that regard. MORE INTERVENING PETITIONS. An intervening petition was filed this after- noon by G. H. Thiel, setting forth that he had on deposit at the Provident Bank subject to his order the sum of 85,042 when Receiver Thompson took charge of the institution. On the 20th of Aprilof the pres- ent year, the St. uis Hansom Cab Company executed a note for the sum of $4 ,500 payable four months after date tothe order of the Provi- dent Bank. Mr. Thiel is a joint maker of the note, and he usks for an order of court directing therecetver to deliver the said note and tocredit Mr. Thiel’s account with the amount of the note with interest. In another petition filed this afternoon, Mr. Thiel states that he purchased of the Provident Bank in current funds, on exchange on the Nationai City Bank of New Tork for $300, and on the 12th of July exchange for $500, ana on July 13 exchange for $50. Payment was re- fused in New Vork, and the court is asked to direct the receiver to collect and refund. THE MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS. At the meeting of the stockholders of the Provident Savings Bunk and their representa- tives, hela yesterday at Broadhead 4 Hueuss- ler's office, eleven of the stockholders, rep- resenting 315 shares, were present, as fol- lows: Grant Tilden, for John W. Donnsll, 5 flares, and for himseif and brother, 52;H.A. Haeussler, forG. 8. Hackney, 15, and self, 60, F. A. Cline, 5; A. G. Donaldson, for him- self and Wm. Donaldson, 60; J. G.

After a considerable discussion of the plan for reopening the bank under a new board of Directors, it was decided to appoint a com- mittee to examine the condition of the bank. The following resolution was then drawn up: Resolved, That A. G Donaldson, Giant Tilden, D. R. Haynes and H. A. Haeussler be appointed as a committee of the stockholders to examine the assets of the Provident Savings Bank, so as to ascertain their probable value; to ascertain the liabilities as hear as Gan be: to report at as early a dav as possible what they deem best to be done and what can be done, in the interest of the stockholders, to effect a speedy payment ofall liabliities and the collection of the assets; to take such steps to represent our inter- estin the proceedings now pending in court as may seem best for our interests. Mr. Hueussier was by vote authorized to Sign this for all the stockholders and repre- sentatives present. The committee is ex- pected to begin its work to-day, and a report will probably be made this week. THE LONG-SUFFERING RECEIVER. Between his duties at the Bank of Commerce and those at the Provident. Bank Receiver Thompson was kept busy to-day. The rush did not, however, alter his uni- tee ged civil manner. Every comer had his businews politely audited. Speaking of the Provident's business he said: There is really nothing new in the situation to-day. I will attend the meeting of the com- mittee of stockholders appointed yesterday.

Frank Miller, porter at Brolaski’s, No. 111 North Sixth street, reports that sometime between 8 and 11 o’clock last night $60 and a Silver watch and plated chain were stolen from his room in the rear of the store. Sneak thieves entered the residence of Riley W. Rankin, 4630 Maflitt avenue, yesterday aft- ernoon, through an insecure door, and stole $380 out of a trunk which they forced open. Thieves effected an entrance into the res- idence of A. L. Geserich, No. 2686 Eads avenue, last evening, by forcing a cellar window and stole 11 pair of silver bracelets valued at $2, a gentleman’s gold chain valued at Slo and a box of tea val- ued at $3. The family were absent from the house at the time. 4 A milk wagon was stolen Sunday from Wal- lace Leonard, living on Papin and Clagyett avenues.

An unsuccessful attempt was made last night to burgiarize the grocery of Gustav Kuenne, No. 1028 Lynch street. BRADY’S BAIL. An Effort to Have McCarthy’s Slayer Re- leased on Bond. An effort is being made to have Frank Brady, in jail on a charge of murder, admitted to bail. He was convicted of mur- der in the second degree and sentenccd to fifty years in the penetentiary. Six months ago the Supreme Court reversed and remanded the cuse, and Brady has been in 4 ever since awaiting another trial. He cilled George McCarthy, a bad character, some three years ago, and the killing, to a large extent, appears to have been justifiable. When convicted his punishment was considered rather severe. Christ. Schawacker and Nick Metzen were at the Four Courts to-day en- deavoring to have bond takengn the case, both being willing to go Brady’s security. Judge Van Wagoner is the party who should take bond in the case, but in his absence the Judge of the Court of Criminal Correction has this power. Mr. Harvey, who at present is sitting as Judge of that Court, prosecuted Brady when he was convicted. The killing occurred in front ofasaloonon Second an Poplar streets. McCarthy had whipped Brady twice previous- ly, and when trouble arose between them on the night of the murder, Brady shot him be- fore McCarthy had u chance to hit him. O’CONNER, THE BUTCHER.

THE RACE FOR THE SUPREME JUDGESHIP BECOMING INTERESTINGLY CLOSE, The Knights of Labor in Politics — Replies Received by the Merchants and Manu- facturers Association to the Ante-Dis- crimination Circular—County and State Conventions—Gossip. The hottest fight in the State Convention will be over the Supreme Judgeship nomina- tion, It is now pretty well understood that in the event that Judge Henry’s failure of success becomes evident in the convention in time to admit of a trade, his delegates, particularly those from St. Louis, Will go over to Alex. Martin. Should such a transfer of strength occur Martin’s nomination would be but the question of one ballot. Brace is de- veloping surprising backing in a number of large counties, He is said to be run- ning on his rebel war record and Campbellite religious tendencies. It is said that he is particularly favored by the clergy, who, itis claimed, carried one county mass-meeting for him, against the combined efforts of Henry and Martin men to leave the delegation uninstructed. From information carefully collected by the PostT-DISPATCH, it is evident that Martin's country strength is on the in- crease. He more than maintains the lead obtained earl in the y campaign and will very likely come into the convention with more votes than any single one of his opponents. Inthe counties which have held conventions up to date, the number of instructed votes is distributed as follows: For Martin—Dunklin, five votes; Callaway, eleven ; Montgomery, six; Maries, three; Shan- non, two; St. Charles, seven; St. Louis, nine; Dent, four, and La- fayette, twelve; total, fifty-nine votes. For Henry—Camden, two; bster, > four; Morgan, four, and Laclede, four; total, fourteen. For Brace—Audrain, ten; Monroe, twelve; Livingston, seven; and Grundy, four; total, 33. These votes together with the number claimed by the different candidates in the various wuninstructed delegations makes their actual strength approximately as follows: Henry, thirty; Brace, seventy-five, and Martin, one hundred and fifty. These figures are based upon the results of conven- tions already held. It requires 394 votes to nominate. KNIGHTS OF LABOR IN POLITICS. A short time ago, when several prominent Knights of Labor were here from the East, one of them, who has been men- tioned as a probable successor to General Master Workman T. V. Powderly, informed a Post-DISPATCH reporter that the Knights of Labor would not take a hand in the coming campaign. The names of several local Knights were mentioned as probable candidates for State, city and nation- al offices and the gentleman said with empha- sis and in 1 manner which left no room for doubt upon the question that every possible means would be used to keep them out of the race,and that the lead- ers and intelligent members of the order dep- recated the running of anybody as a Knight of Labor candidate. a It is knowu thut in the case of a Knight of Labor of East St. Louis who had 9 Congres- sional bee in his bonnet it was quietly inti- mated to members of the order that the young man was too ambitious and should be checked up. He reached for the nomination but fellshort, and aiterwards abandoned his efforts in that direction. In this connection the candidacy of J. J. McGarry for Congress becomes interesting. AGAINST RAILROAD DISCRIMINATION. Secretary John G. Shelton of the Merchants’ and Manufacturers’ Association this morning received a number of replies to the anti-railroad circular addressed by the association to candidates for the next General Assembly. William P. Newman of Perry- ville, candidate for Senator in the Twenty-sixth S@qnatorial District, writes an affirmative answer to all of the questions con- tained inthe cireular, and says that he wishes to go on record as opposed to railroad discrim- ination. G. F. Arnold, Republican candidate for Representative in Cooper County, is very emphatic in his indorsement of the stand taken by the association against the injurious policy of railroads. C. M. Jordan, Democratic candidate for Representative in Cedar County, is of the opinion that if the railroads do not comply withthe lavs of the State their char- ters should be suspended and their property confiscatea. He is particularly savage in his denunciation of the attempts of the railroad managers to defeat the consti- tution of the States. Z. I. Maxwell, candidate in Crawford County, asks to go on record is in favor of the prin- ciples advocated by the association, James K. Hill of Ripley County writes that he will support any measure against railroad dis- crimination, and that he is in favor of ex- tending the authority and power of the State Railroad Commissioners. G. W. Craw- ford, candidate in Pettis County, says: 1 am with the merchants and manufact- urers in this fight.’’ Hon. John T. Teel of Lawrence County, can- didate for State Senator inthe Eighth Sena- torial District, is heartily infavor of the ‘‘anti- discrimination’’ war. THE DEMOCRATIC STATE CONVENTION. Chairman Cobb of the Oitizens’ Commit- tee, having in charge the arrance- ments for the next Democratic State Convention, has postponed the meeting of the committee called for this even- ing at the Mercantile Club. Mr. Cobb has not decided upon the date of the meeting yet, but informed a POsT-DISPATCH reporter this morning thatit will be held on next Thursday or Friday evening. The principal business of the meeting will be the appointment of a large reception committee, to be composed of about twenty-five members, and the reporting of sub-committees of subseriptions collected to defray the expenses of the convention. After Chair- man Cobb has appointed his committees and the meeting adjourns there will remain noth- ing further to transactin the way of business until the meeting of the convention itself. GOSSIP. In the event of the failure of the Republi- cans to harmonize and the nomination of two tickets by the Grund and Filley factions as was done last year, it is probable that Wm. Hobbs will be on both tickets for Recorder of Deeds. Several years ago, John F.Doerbaum, candi- date for Republican nomination for Circuit Clerk, was clerk of the three C's Court. One day a pative of the Republic of Switzerland appeared before bim to make final oath on his naturalization papers, and Doerbaum, with a deplorable ignorance of the form of the Swiss Government, forswore him of ail allegiance to the Swiss King. The reguiar weekly 8 of the Twelfth Ward Tammany Club was held last night at Sixteenth and Carr streets, with Mr. Hodnett inthe chair. Secretary Jas. A. Lavin called the roll and sixteen members answered to their names. An Executive Committee of five was appointed, with Wim. O’Cqnner as chair- man. EXPOSITION NOTES. A Scattered Board—Improvement of the In- side Walls Much Discussed. It would be adifficult thing for any new scheme to have its birth at the Exposition justnow, as the Board of Directors are so scattered that they could not be gathered together very quickly. President Kennard is away fishing and has left no ad- dress. Vice-President Stanard ig cutting bait somewhere too, and other members of the board are enjoying them- selves in distant places of pleasure, The entire affairs of the Exposition have fallen upon the shoulders of Secretary Johnston which they fit like a prophet’s mantle. About the only thing doing in the build- ing is the arranging of the preliminary struc- tures and the awarding of the space that remains. Another thing is not lost sight of, and that is, the method of making the walls along the Olive article in Saturday’s Post-DISPATCH callin attention to the ease with which the walls could be made like marble by covering them with -wall-paper, the effect of which can even now be seen along the private stairway leading into the Seoretary’s office, the matter has deen much talked of and a great many visitors have noticed the need of such an improvement, and commented sharply on the ap nt want of any intention to remedy theevil. To-day one of the Eastern exhibits came in and was sto in the building. It was the = of Crane Bros., of Westfield, i There were thirty-six cases on the docket of this evening.

The life of a member of the Board of Grain Inspectors is as Gilbert said of a policeman’s lot—notahappyone. He is subject to criti- ciem. Some of it is not confined within polite limits. Just now the local board is much dis- turbed because of recent reflections cast upon it by correspondents of local factors. A number of letters have been received in the past few days from Illinois grain dealers complaining that St. Louis is not as liberal in wheat inspec- tion as it was earlier in the season; that wheat was allowed to grade No. 2 here four weeks ago, and now the same wheat of the same crop is graded No. 3. es- cott & Hall received a letter this morning from Brady & Moore, bankers at Benton, III., who complain of the rigidity of the inspection at St. Louis and say that last year they signed a remonstrance against State grain inspection | at East St. Louis. because they believed that St. Louis would treat them fairly. Now they will no longer sign such re- monstrances, but have addressed a circular to IIIIinois dealers, asking them to combine to secure State inspection at East St. Louis. This is but one of the kind, and local grain dealers have been made pretty hot under the collar by noting the fact that Chicago to-day received 3858 cars of winter wheat ugainst less than 300 cars received at St. Louis. Chief Inspector Dutcher was seen this morning on the matter. He said: The inspection is not more rigid now than it was four weeks ago. The whole trouble arises from this state of things. Four weeks ago the wheat that came into the elevators from Illinois was fresh and bright. It readily graded No. 2, and there was no liberality in so grading it. Now the wheat that comes in is Te of the crop, not so clean and bright, and it would be wrong to grade it higher than No. 3.’’ One of the inspectors said at this point: There is a car belonging to Wescott & Hall on the track of that kind; it is full of broken wheat and will not grade higher than No. 8. They complain of it, and say it ought to grade 0 * The kicks now being made very probably arise from the fact that when the wheat was beginning to move, St. Louis buyers, notably the Grier Commission . went into Illinois and bought largely, leaving little for the local buyers. hen, too, Chicago has tried to stirup antagonism to St. Louisin Order to control the crop. St. Louis No. 2 has better standing in Europe than the same grade from any market, and sells higher. Chicago No. 2 has always been notoriously bad, and in spite of its low quality Chicago buyers are pay- ing from 1 to 2 cents more than St. Louis buyers. As the reputa- tion of the St. Louis grade abroad would be injured by a more liberal grading than now prevails itis not probable that the bluffs of Chicago or complaints of local Illinois dealers will affect the stand the inspectors have taken. RUN DOWN IN CHICAGO. Charles Engel, a Notorious Cracksman, Captured by Pinkerton Detectives. CHICAGO, July 27.—A very important arrest was made here yesterday by the Pinkerton National Detective Agency, in the apprehension of Charles Engel, alias Charles Warren, alias George Ingle, a dangerous professional burglar, whose depredations have eatended all over the country. Among the robberies that Engel is charged with is that which was perpetrated on the house of J. L. Kennedy in Newport in 1884. The robbery occurred while the family were at dinner and nearly $20,000 worth of diamonds and other jewelry was taken. The thief effected an. entrance by climb- ing up the ortico of the house and getting nto the bedrooms. All this jewelry was recovered from a Chicago fene“ by Mr. Pinkerton and turned over to Mr. Kennedy. In September, last the house of Admiral Baldwin n Newport was robbed in precisely the same manner and some $12,000 worth of valuables taken. Two other residences in Newport suffered in the same way. A little after this the house of ex-Gov. Lafflin of Massachusetts, situated near Boston, was also robbed. All of Admiral Baldwin's property was found under a stone near Newport by some farmers, and upon recovery of his prop- erty Admiral Baldwin did not prosecute the case further. His house was robbed again the first day of the present month and a large uantity of silverware was carried off. Mr. Pinkerton has complete evidence connecting Engel with all these robberies, and last night he, in company with Detec- tive Richards of Sidr mam Mr. Cor- nish, Superintendent o Pinkerton’s Boston office, and armed with the necessary papers, arrested Engel. t II o’clock Engel was taken East in charge of the Boston and Newport authorities. THE RAILROADS. A Change in the Pacific’s Sleeping Car Service—Brock’s Suceessor— Notes. The Missouri Pacific will soon own a con- trolling interest in the Pullman sleepers which are engaged in running over the system. By the terms of the contract the Company has the option of buying a three-fourths interest after a proper notification, had been given. This notice h@s been sent out. The inspector of the Pullman Company and the inspector of machinery for the Pacific have been busy for the past week placing valuations on the vari- ous cars, and the deal will be closed within ten days. The official announcement of the resignation of D. Brock, Superintendent of Transporta- tion of the Missouri Pacific, was made last night. The office is abolished and C. W. He- quembourg, private secretary to the General Superintendent, will assume the duties vacated by Mr. Brock, under the title of Car Service Agent. Mr. Hequembourg bas been with the system for years and is thoroughly up in mat- ters pertaining to transportation. Col. A. W. Soper, formeriy General Manager of the Iron Mountain, is in the city. There is some talk of his returning to St. Louis to again take an important position on the old road. Col. Soper says it is all news to him. A number of railroad men were discussing, this morning, the dates of the various formal openings of the Missouri Pacific. The follow- ing is the official record: First opened to Chel- tenham, 4% miles, December, 1852; to Kirk- wood, 13 miles, May 0, 1853; to Pacific, 37 miles, July 20, 1853; to Jeffersop City, March 13, 1856, the date of the Gasconade disaster.

Royal a Perfect Baking Powder—Ahbsolutely Free from Lime. The Royal Baking Powder is considered by all chemists and food analysts to be a marvel of purity, strength, and wholesomeness. Furthermore, it is now the only baking powder before the public free from lime and absolutely pure. This is due largely to the improved method by the use of which it has been made possible to produce a perfectly pure cream of tartar, from which all the lime has been eliminated. This chemically pure cream of tartar is exclusively employed in the manufacture of the Royal Baking Powder, so that its absolute freedom from lime and all other extraneous substances is guaranteed. Professor McMurtrie, late chemist in chief to the U. S. Department of Agriculture, after analyzing many samples of cream of tartar of the market, testified to the absolute purity of that used in the Royal Baking Powder as follows: “T have examined the cream of tartar manufactured by the New York Tartar Company and used by the Royal Baking Powder Company in the manufacture of their bak- ing powder, and find it to be perfectly pure, and free from lime in any form. „All chemical tests to which I have submitted it have proved the Royal Baking Powder perfectly healthful, of uniform, excellent quality, and free from any deleterious substance. „ M mist in Chief —— —— — — ̃ ̃ꝙ — — —— —ᷣ— ä—F i — —— — — ——— SIMPLY SHOCKING. AN ARREST WHICH WILL CREATE A SEN- SATION INGERMAN SOCIETY CIRCLES, John C. Berberich Taken Into Custody on a Serious Charge— How the Franklin Bank Book-Keeper Amused Himself Every Morning—The Clever Snare Which Bagged the Game—The Witnesses to His Indecent Conduct. An arrest was made this morning which is apt to create quite a sensation in German society circles. Complaint was made at the Four Courts yesterday that John C. Ber- berich, book-keeper of the Franklin Bank, had for some time past been making indecent exposures of himself every morning to the women in the neighborhood where he lives, No. 925 Park avenue. It was stated that on arising in the morning he would throw open his blinds, expose himself to the women living on Autumn street, the rear of whose residences face the rear of his house, and throw kisses and make motions to them. There were a number of ladies and a few gentiemen who had witnessed the occurrences, but the ladies had a natural delicacy about going into court to testify in regard to the matter, The parties who made the complaint to Chief Huebler yesterday stated that if possible hey would like to arrange mat- ters so that the women would not the exposures themselves, matters of daily occurrence. plan was decided upon after due discussion of the matter and it was also agreed that several other parties should be there, so that the case made against Berberich would be a clincher. COMPLAINT WAS FILED in the First District Police Court against him, and this morning Officer Lett was down in the bank clerk’s neighborhood bright and early to catch him in the act of committing the offense, if possible. The officer was placed in a rear room of W. W. Leonhardt's residence on Autumn street, where be could get a full view of Berberich’s house, without being open to observation by the latter. Mr. Leon- hardt, C. F. Rehbold, his father-in-law, and Mr. Rehbold’s three sons also took up their positions in the same room. Mrs. Leonhardt and some other ladies in the neighborhood went about their house- hold duties as usual and were where Berberich could see them from his room. About o’clock he threw open the blinds of his room and appeared at the window, Looking over in the direction of the houses on Autumn street, he espied the ladies and immediately made an exposure of himself, motioned to them, threw kisses to them and went throughall his usual antics. Officer Lett and the other men concealed in Mr. Leonhardt’s house could plainly see every motion made by the fellow, and when the performance had gone on for some time the policeman went over to Ber- berich's house and laced him under arrest. After the bank clerk had completed his toilet he was ushered up to the Four Courts, where a fresh complaint was lodged agalnst him, and his case will proba- bly come up for trial to-morrow. The first complaint willbe dropped, and he will be prosecuted on the new complaint, Officer Lett, Mr. Leonhardt and Mr. Rehbold and his three sons being the wit- nesses against him. With this array of testi. mony on which to secure a conviction it will not be necessary to drag the ladies into the matter, the police think, and hence no women will be summoned. AS STATED, BERBERICH IS BOOK-KEEPER of the Franklin Bank on Fourth and Morgan streets, and stands very high in German so. ciety, being a member of several swell social organizations. He is 32 years of age and a married man, his wife being a daughter of Philip Yeckel, a wealthy and respected citizen of the southern part of the city, whose house Berberich and his family make their home. The book-keeper’s family are not in the city at present having lett some time ago for their regular summer trip. When he was arrested to-day his father-in- law accompanied him to the Four Courts and went his bond, the released clerk going to his duty at the bank. Philip Yeckel, Jr., in the carriage business, and’ residing at No. 919 Ann avenne, is a brother-in-law of Berberich. The people who make the complaint are also — 4 — respectable, and the result of the case will be watched with deep interest. Mayor Francis Returns. Mavor Francis returned this morning after an absence of twelve days from the city, dur- ing which time he has been visiting his family at Lakeside, Wis. His Honor is improved in appearance. He immediately resumed the reins of government. — Cattle Men Alarmed. BoseMAN, M. T., July 27,—Texas fever has broken out among a lot of graded cattle WM. MoMURTRIE, E. M., Ph. D., C. S.

The Law Which Protects Landlords at the ‘ Tenants’ Expense. A week or so ago Manetho Hilton, who rag for Congress some years ag), was tried in the First District Police Court for main- taining a nuisance in the shape of an overflowing vault at a tenement house owned by him at No. 222 Barton street. He pleaded that the Court of Appeals had held that the tenants and not the landlords were responsible for nuisances of this kind, and that it was their duty to see that the place was properly cleaned. Un- der this showing Judge Cady hag no recourse but to discharge the man, and the sanitary officers brought the five tenants into court this morning on the same charge. The tenants were William H. Anderson, Con- rad Breidenbach, Mary Olinger, Casper White more and Barbara Rheinhard, the five families living in six rooms, only one of the families occupying as many astworooms. It was shown that the vault was overflowing with filth, and while it was clear that the unfortu- nate tenants were unable to pay for having it cleaned, Judge Cady, under the unjust law which protects landlords at the expense of their tenants, was compelled to fine the de- fendants $25each. It was clear to him, how- ever, that the landlord who will, for the sake of saving a few dollars, force his ten- ants to live in such disgust- ing filth should be punished in some manner, and the fines were stayed on condition that the tenants all move out of the premises by the lst of next month. Should they fail to do so they will have to pay the fines. This will place a vacant house on Mr. Hilton’s hands, and put him to the expense of clean- ing the vault besides, JORDAN’S JOWL. High But Cheap Living Obtained by Sheer Cheek. . A young man giving the name of R. G. Jor- dan wasup before Judge Cady this morning on a charge of trespassing. For the past three days the young man has been going into the dining-room of the Southern Hotel and eating his meals with the guests. He man- aged to get away with all the food within reach, but wasalittie puzzied at first when the finger-bow! was placed before him. Con- cluding, however, not to run any unnecessary risk he decided to let it severely alone. The first time a green bow! was placed before him, and when at the next meal a red bowl was put before him he was sure it was some plot to destroy his life. Calling a waiter up he asked him why a green thing was put before him once and a red thing’’ next time. His rather athletic style of handling food aroused sus- icions, and it was found he was not pa or what he consumed. Yesterday a police- man was summoned and arrested him. Judge Cady fined Jordan $10.

A BUSINESS SENSATION, The Irregular Grading of Corn by the New York Produce Exchange, By Telegraph to the Post-DISPATCH. New YORK, July 27.—The Board of Managers of the Produce Exchange have had under con- sideration for some time a number ot charges which are regarded as more serious in so far as they affect the standing of responsible members of the Exchange. The offense charged strikes at the very existence of ali the vast business of the Exchange carried on per sample. The charge is that during April a vast quantity of corn was marked up from ‘‘steamer’’ grade to- ‘No. 2, a grade higher. This, itis asserted, was done by order of the grain committee, or a majority of it. The quantity thus falsely graded, it is estimated, is fully 300,000 bushels, but just how extensive the manipulation has been and who is responsible, a special committee of the board of * ey is just now trying to find out. E. R. Livermore and Gustay Schwab are on tbis investigating sub-committee, and already seven long ses- sions have been held and upward of a thou- sand pages of testimony taken. The utmost care has been taken to keep the matter a se- cret, as much forthe good name of the Ex- change as for the possible exculpation of members now under a cloud. The attention of members was first drawn to the fact that there was something wrong in the grading of corn, when letter after letter was received fromthe European consignees complaining that corn sent as No. 2’’ was not upto grade, and should have been marked ‘‘steamer’’ corn. Numerous arbitrations were had on the other side to set right the wrong, and in some cases as much as 5 shillings per quarter was awarded in difference to the buyer of the shipped corn, which had been sold perinvoice. The losses were often very large, and created a distrust among the mem- bers of the trade. The fault, it was alleged, lay with the grain committee here, which was made up of A. R. Bingham, T. A. McIntyre, Max Held, C. R. Hickok and E. P. Cusbing. The Inspectors of Grain are made the special supervisors of this committee and obey the orders of the committee as regards grain. It was found tbat THE BULK OF THE ERRORS or worse, occurred in Aprilon corn for May delivery. Atthat time Messrs. Bingham and McIntyre of the committee were in Europe. Max Held, who formed a minority of the quo- rum left at home, has given his testimony be- fore the committee of investigation, and ap- pears to have been mainly.a protester against the manner of doing things adopted by his two associates on the committee. Of these other two members, Mr. Hickok is now in Europe, and Mr. Cushing, when asked what he had to say touching the reports, declined to utter a word of explanation. The charge now under investigation is made by Hillhouse & Day, who were in a pool to corner No. 2 May delivery corn, but found all their calculations upset by the large and unex- plained offering of that grain. They continued to buy upon the inspection certificates, but failed to get the ‘‘corner’’ they had calculated upon, and now, it is said, can show aloss of $57,000, due to the quantity of steamer corn duinped on them as No. 2 and inno- cently accepted by them as such. The matter now is to find out what members of the grain committee have been guilty of unbusiness-like conduct in ordering inspectors to change the grades of corn, and of neglecting to see that samples were properly graded. There are all kinds of rumors on the Exchange, some of them of the most damaging sort, against certain mem- bers of the grain committee, and itis freely asserted that a bear movement in one grade of corn was highly successful to those in tle secret of the false grading. If the charges are declared proved, it is regarded as certain that several members will be expelled in disgrace from the Exchange, and some bitter suits for damages will be started in the courts. The Committee of Investigation declare that their report will not be ready for several weeks, though every effort is making to hurry up the conclusion.

The conclave week, beginning September 21, will be one of high carnival and crowded hotels. The presence of 75,000 visitors will place space at a premium, and ‘‘standing room only’’ will be the rule. In the lodging places provided for the Sir Knights by the local committees the modest but useful cot willrub up familiarly against baskets of the exclusive and exhilarating Maltese-cross brands of champagne. While there will be 4 great deal of bustle and excitement, the Knights will take everything good-naturedly and the best of feeling will prevail. In con- nection with the entertainment of delegates to tne Conclave, the bureau of information es- tablished by the local Knights Templar issued a printed circular this morning to the effect that while they will do everything in their power to make their guests com- fortable, attention is called to the fact that it will be impossible to avoid the crowding and many little incon- veniences that necessarily attend so large a gathering and that due allowances should be The facilities of hotels and boarding-houses will be tested to their fullest extent, but — the unusually large crowd, even for a carnival season, there is no danger that all will not be accommodated, After the custom on such occasions the Southern, Lindell, Laciede and other large hostelries will bring cots into requlsition wherever convenient and such n thing as sleeping ten in a room will not be unusual. Contracts forthe little canvas beds by the hundreds have already been made with manufacturers, large supplies of tableware are being laid in and preparations are being made on an ex- tensive scale to meet the requirements of this unexpected call upon their resources. At the Southern, a POST-DISPATCH reporter was informed that a bill had just been paid for $5,000 worth of table and ped linen alone and that the management expected to expend at least $20,000 in increas- ing their accommodations before the house would be considered ready for the business of the conclave week. At the other hotels a sim- ilar story was told; the amount to be expended in each case varying with the size of the house. In addition to the expenses incurred in this direction all of the hotels have subscribed liberally to the Knights Templar fund and they will need packed houses all week to insure them from loss on the speculation. The prices charged by the hotels will be about the average of their regular rates, and will be uniform to all without regard to size or loca- tion of room. For instance, a house that charges ordinarily from $8 to S per day would fix a regular rate of $4 per day for the con- clave. With the exception of lodging, the ac- commodations will be equal to those for ordi- nary occasions and the hotels’ profit will lie in numbers and notin high prices. Mr. E. H. Coftin, Chairman of the Committee on Arrangements, is autbority for the state- ment that aside from the hotels, 50,000 people can be taken care of by private families at the rate of from §2to $8 per day. Numerous ap- plications for boarders have been received by him and turned over to Mr. W. H. Hodges of the Bureau of Information, who has them on file for future reference. All members of large commanderies will, of course, be assigned to quarters at the same house, and only the stragglers will be provided for at 13 residences. One commandery from Peoria, Ill., and five commanderies from New Orleans and other places in the South have chartered steamboats forthe week, and in addition to making the trip on them will lodge on board while in the city. Four boats will also be en- gaged by the local committees for excur- sions and for entertainment uses -during the conclave. As this morning’s circular states, while the city will undoubtedly be somewhat janimed, yet the resources at hand are ample enough to provide for all. A number of the largest and most prominent commanderies of the United States not caring to entrust such an important matter entirely to the good nature of strangers have been rep- resented here, at different times during the past two or three months, by agents who have made the necessary preliminary arrangements for them, in the way of securing quarters and providing for their comfort during their stay. In most instances their rooms have ‘been engaged at hotels by contracts, setting forthin detail the number of men to be accommodated and the prices to be charged for each individual. Not infrequently a chart of the rooms contracted for was given to the representative of the commandery, who, from alist of members of his de legations, assigned his brother Knights their quarters upon the spot, and when they arrive here in September both the hotel cler and the Knights will be spared the annoyance of being ‘‘roomed.’’ At the Southern the commanderies which have contracted for quarters up to date are as follows; The St. Bernard and Apollo Com- manderies of Chicago, with 350 men each, a total of 700 men ; Reid Commandery of East Day- ton, O., 200 men; Californiastate Commandery, No. 1, San Francisco, with 300 men, have taken the entire parlor floor, and the Maysville (Ky.) Commandery, 125 men. This makes a total of 1,325 Knights who have engaged rooms at this house. Noroom will have less than four cots in it and some will have as many as fif- teen. The hotel has rooms to spare and can still take a goodly number. The Lindell has thus far contracted to pro- vide for 1,018 delegates during the conclave, distributed as follows: New York State Bat- talion, 200 strong; Jackson Commandery of Jacksonville, Mich., 75 members; Charlotte (Mich.) Commandery, 60; De Molai ape ~ egg Grand Rapids, Mich., 75 men; ontjoie Commandery, Chicago, 40 members, and a band of 30 pieces total 70 men; Adkinsoh Commandery, 30, and Crusader Commandery, 118, both of Rockford, III.; Peninsula Commandery, Kalamazoo, Mich., 75 men; Muncie (Ind.) Commandery, 75 men; Palestine Commandery, Springfield, O., 120 men; Raper Commandery, Indianapolis, 80 men, and the Chavalier Bayard Commandery, Chicago, 50 men. In addition to these, the Lindell will have the Grand Commanders of Wisconsin, Indiana and Michigan, with their staffs, consisting in each instance of from eight to ten members. The Laciede has undertaken to take care of Golden Gate Commandery, No. 16, of San Fran- cisco, Cal., 157 men; Colorado Commandery, No. 1, Denver, Col., 150 men; Mary Com- mandery, No. 36, Philadeiphia, 150, and all of the grand officers of the State of Pennsylvania. Mr. Griswold says that he is negotiating with a number of commanderies which will close their contracts ina short time. This hotel can hold 600 people comfortably. At Hurst’s the commanderies contracted witb are Malta Cross Commandery, Ottumwa, lo., 150 men; Cincinnati and Hauselman Com- mandertes, Cincinnati, 400 men; Colman Com- mandery, 1 O., 100 men, and Oriental Commandery, Kansas City, 150 men. The St. Louis Hotel, Hurst’s old house; has the Grand Commandery of Nebraska, 400 men. The Everett House will take care of Chicago Commandery, No. 19, 100; Karona (Mich.)

By Telegraph to the Post-DISPATCH. NEw YorK, July 27.—The Paris correspond- ent ofa morning paper, under date of July 9, writes as follows: The funeral of Daniel Douglas Howe excited no curiosity here. The Russian Chapel in the Rue Darue was brill iantly lighted and about twenty persons in the gorgeous display of full evening dress assisted at the ordinary ceremony. Their idea was to convey tothe minds and eyes of the absent assistants that death was mere liberation, and as daily and hourly communi- cation still continued, that there was no ne- cessity for grief or sorrow. At one time the deceased wasacelebrity over here. When he came from America he went to Russia with Dumas Pere, and the latter de- voted columns and books to his literary portraiture of his pro tem. hero, describing him asa fair blonde, with a complexion of lilies and roses andthe hands of a gentle- woman constantly adorned with new rings. Undoubtedly the romance writer par excel- lence gave to the adventures of Home all the marvellous imagery of bis own fertile brain, but substance there was, nevertheless, to work upon, for the luckless boy, with his stock intrade of moving tables, floating hands, laden with flowers or caresses, went all over the world coining money from the charitable and frequently believing fingers of thousands and millions of curious sight-seers. In connection with William Crookes, of London, Florence Cook and Katie King were made known tothe public. Every one rushed to see the corporeal and spiritual bodies of thetwo maidens. Photographs were taken, and when at last, according to Mr. Crookes, Miss Katie decided not to come to this naughty world any more, there was great weeping and gnashing of teeth. This effervescence is all past and gone, and noone seems to recollect the awe-inspiring medium or his outlived glory, or to have the curiosity to see if the spirit of the dead might not profit by the last golden opportunity for sudden appearance, and apotheosis-like in the climax of Brahma at the Eden. THE DUC DE MORN TS MARRIAGE. Far more attention was given to the mar- riage ceremony of the Duke de Morny with Mdile. Guzman Blanco Ybarra. There were no cards issued, to insure instant and exclu- sive entrance to the Madeleine Church. Per- haps,in these republican days, the imperial throng thought such measures unwise; in any case, the doors were open as usual to specta- tors, to prayer seekers and to any number of beggars. When the guests arrived they found only standing room and very little of that, for the long aisies were packed. The altar was beautified with waving palms and ferns, but not even there did one find any trace of the innovative taste of the famous fashion dictator, for such the young duke is supposed to be. He looked spruce and com- fortable, but made no standing favor of the blue coat with brass buftons, or other eccen- tric attire, as all the tailors and swell dudes hoped he might. He wore the conventional black suit with low patent-leather shoes and looked very much like a well-dressed New Yorker. His bride is not pretty; her style is Spanish and, of course, slie has black eyes and dark hair. Her figure is now only round, but it appears as if it might easily expand into a buxom healthfulness, not included in statuesque outline. Her expression is one of extreme kindliness. Without being at all em- parrassed she did not avoid the strong scrutiny of allthe world—at least a good portion of Paris high life, who sought to study the features of the present Duchess. The story of the dot was wafted abouton thelipsof all; her white bridal robe of plain, thick white satin showed a nice fit, but no attempt at un- due splendor. In short, it was in good taste like the rest of the proceedings, and now the gossips say there isa million from President Guzman for the hoteland furniture; anotherto facilitate the squaring up of the Duke’s past experience, and the. capital, or the income of three, four or five millions of francs for the luxurious existance of the young couple. The sister of the present Duchess is reported to be engaged tothe Count de Morny and also to Viscount Murat. She can probably take her place amid many others. illions are goody fruit to pick, and even those who croak at prizes in marriages .would be happy to have the chance. The Duchess De Sesto, mother of the Duke de Morny, is as distinguished and beautiful asin the imperial days and with Mme. Bischofheim, formerly Miss Paine, she was certainly the radiant star of the assem- bly. COQUELIN’S TOUR ABROAD. The next item for consideration is the de- parture of Coguelin. Some one has sounded the trumpet of alarm for the interest of Thea- tre Francaise, while another, a boider spirit, raises the specter of possible negative success in mene lands. which, say they, would con- siderably hurt the prestige of the favorite. He, the interested one, says nothing; he con- tents himself with the expected renewal of former triumphs. In the Facheux of Mo- liere, revived afew evenings since, he abso- lutely took theater, town and cities by storm. He is a glorious actor, but will our people understand bim, a man, as the single perfect type amid an average French-speaking troupe? That js the great question. If Coquelin makes his personality, his wonderful versatility, un- derstood to our theater-lovers, he can visit America every year with dollars of profit to himself and intellectual progress to our read ers and thinkers. Of one thing you can be sure, he will play right on, night after night, with the same finish, the same nicely tem- pered enthusiasm, and he goes with ardent desire to please and convince English-speak- — audiences of the value, wisdom and truth- — honesty of his repute, experience and ame.
