LATEST EDITION “THAT IS THE MAN!” PAINTER GILMER’S SENSATIONAL TESTI- MONY IN THE ANARCHISTS’ TRIAL. A Witness Positively Identifies Spies as the Man Who Lighted the Fuse Attached to the Fatal Bomb—Desperate Efforts of Counsel for the Defense to Brow Beat the Witness — The Accused Completely Broken Down. CHICAGO, July 28.—The jurors in the anarch- ists’ trial have stillalong siege before them. The prosecation, it is understood, will use at least all of this week with its evidence; the defense will require two weeks, and another week will be occupied by the arguments. Grinnell, Ingham and Walker will speak for the State and four attorneys for the defense. Nearly all, perhaps all, of the defendants will take the stand in their own behalt. TO-DAY’S PROCEEDINGS. : The stout bailiff who attends the door in Judge 8 court perspired very freely this morning, but despite this his face was dark and threatening as a storm in midwinter. No, you can’t get in, were the words he gave utterance to as a stream of red faced, perspiring curiosity-seekers made their way up-stairs. ‘‘The court room is full already, the bailiff would exclaim, and he told the truth. Before court opened there was nota vacant seat in the room. August Heun,a printer in the employof Vehre & Klein, corner of Market and Ran- dolph streets, was the first witness. He set up à portion of the circular calling for the Haymarket meeting. He obtained the copy of this circular from Mr. Klein and be got it from the defendant, Fischer, who came to the printing office about 7 o’clock on the morning of May 4. Fischer wrote the German version of the case, andthe witness is positive he wrote the fol- lowing: ‘‘Workingmen, arm yourselves and appear in full force. On cross-examination by Capt. Black, the witness said the above line was taken out by II o'clock in the fore- noon. An expurgated circular was shown the witness and he identified it as one printed after the line was taken out. Do you know who ordered the line taken out? Objected to. ‘*Did you hear any one order it taken out?“ No, sir. PDid you see it taken out?’’ "#5 aig.”’ Were you told not to distribute the circu- lar containing this line?“ Iwas not. M. H. Marks, a detective from the Central Station, wus at the Arbeiter Zeitung office on the morning of May5. ‘‘I met Neebe on the third floor and told him I came there to make u search ofthat floor. He said,‘Ali right, you won't find anything but papers and ** | materials. Tnere was a desk. LJasked whose desk it was. Neebe said it was August Spies’, Onthetopof à shelf back of this desk Ifounda package of oily stuff. I asked what it was and Neebe said he guessed it was a preparation to clean type. The package was taken to the Central Station and proved to be dynamite. This was the explosive with which Mining Ex- 2 Burt experimented in the Lake front. hen the witness showed the bag to Neebe Officer McKeogh was in the room and Officer Haas at the door. Mayor Harrison wag in the building at the time, or near the time, but he did not ask Neebe the contents of the package. Parsons was also present. 50 were two young men who were writing; a gentie- man and a lady and Detective Boyd. | Tina Is THE MAW?” oe Hugh Hume, a newspaper reporter, testified to interviews he had with Fieldén, Spies and Schwab after the riot, but the testimony was not vital. H. M. Gilmer, a painter, living at 50 North Ann street, arrived at the Haymar ket at 9:45 o’clock. At the cor- ner of Desplaines and Randolph streets he saw the wagon occupied by the speakers. Fielden was speaking. The witness saw some one leave the wagon and start toward the alley where four or five persons were conversing. The witness was at the mouth of the alley. At that moment some one cried, Here come the police!’’ Then the man who had leftthe wagon and joined the parties in the alley lit a match, and placing it against something held in the nund of one of the men in the group a fuse began to sizzle, and immediately thereafter the bomb wasthrown. The witness was shown the ple- ture of Schnaubelt and recognized it as that of the man who threw the bomb. „How many men were there?“ Four or five.’’ Lou say aman came from the wagon and joined this group. Can you recognize any of the defeudants as that man?“ es, that is the man, pointing at Spies. When Spies was pointed out he displayed great and palpable agitation. ; ‘*Do you recognize any of the remaining de- fendants as composing any part of that roup?’’ 5780 es, that man there was one of the group. The witness pointed out the defendant, Fischer. This testimony, following that of Thompson yesterday, occusioned a most profound sensa- tion in the court-room. The witness, on the cross-examination, said that prior to coming to Chicago he lived at Des Moines, Io. He came here in 1879. Mr. Foster desired to know everything about the history .of the man who had givensuch frightful testimony aguinst his clients. He asked the witness when he learned that a reward had been offered for conviction in this case. He replied that he was not aware that any reward had been offered. The witness explained satisfactorily as to nis whereabouts. He did not appear atthe Coro- ner’s inquest, but did report the facts to the police a few days after the tragedy, after having told some of his friends. He went to the Haymarket for a friend who had goue there. He did not note particularly what Fielden was saying. In conclusion, Mr. Foster asked: And you say ia was Spies who left the wagon?’’ sé 0 Le THE ANARCHISTS TREMBLING. Continuing tge cross-examination, Gilmer replied that he thought he saw Schwab near the wagon. „Where were you that evening before you went to the Haymarket?’’ was at the Palmer House.“ What were you doing there?“ ‘*T desired to see Ex-Gov. Merrill and Judge rd. The witness was plied with all forms of uestions, but answered them apparently satis- actorily. He worked with a pain ter the next day, and while he spoke of the + Haymarket tragedy, did not tell what be saw; he did not tell his landlord or with whom he was stay - ing. He did not think it concerned them. He only told the State’s Attorney. Did you see anyone shoot at the Haymar- sy" ‘‘No, sir; but I saws great deal of shoot- ing. Kana vou say that it was * that left the wagon, joined the group in the alley, and lit the match which fired the bomb which caused the ＋ at the Haymarket?’ 41 do * Apparently baffled and exhausted the cross- examination ceased and the court adjourned for dinner. The anarchists, particularly Spies and Fischer, appeared to be completely broken down by the damaging character of the evi- dence so coldly delivered against them. THE WITNESS, GILMER. Gilmer is a long, lank man with a sancti- monious expression of countenance, and speaks in a drawling tone of voice that almost lulls 2 1 — to sleep. The ap- 0 pearance ndifference in the au- dience was suddenly dispelled when the witness identified the photograph of Schnau- belt as that of the man who threw the bomb. Interest was de- icted on the face of each listener. udge, jury. counsel, prisoners and auditors jeaned over in reathless anticipation and listened to each word that tell the lips of the heretofore lud us witness, and when he said that Bpine was the man who lighted the fuse most intense excite was at N Paled: 4 1 in the courtroom. Every he re ned his self-pogsession partially and pulled fiercely at his n. and — Over towar Mr. Foster broke in- to an incredulous laugh. For an instant a death-like silence reigned, and then a buzz of many hushed whispers filled the alr, which once more merged — perfect silence as the witness pointed Fischer as one of the men in the alley. It was now Fischer’s turn to pale andtremble, th ony the expression on his face was one of blank surprise and astonishment. BURNING BLOCKS. Chicago’s Big Blaze—A Ship in Flames— Fires Elsewhere. CHENOA, Hl., July 28.—A fire broke out about midnightin Snyder’s wooden block in the rooi of P.B. Groesbeck’s clothing and boot and shoe store. The stores of Wm. Gayman, groceries and dry goods, and John E. Wight- man, hardware, crockery and glassware, were consumed with the contents, also the building occupied by Brumm & Ballenger, agricul- turalimplements. Snyder’s brick block oc- cupied by Kelly & Co., the Farmers’ Bank, the Masonie Hall and Ohi’s drug store was also destroyed. The losses will aggregate $75,000; partially insured. A Ship in Flames, NEW Tonk, July 28.—When the French steamer Labrador, from Havre, came to anchor at Quarantine at 3:15 to-day an officer rushed excitedly to the bridge and notified the captain that the steamer was a mass cf flames below. On consultation with Pilot Watson it was deemed best to run the ship ashore, which was done on the Long Island shore be- low Bay Ridge. No cause was given forthe fire. Assistance was promptly at hand and the passengers were transferred to a passen- ger steamboat. Tugs were also alongside and poured rivers of water down into the hold. At 7:30 a. m. the fire was under control and soon extinguisbhed. The steamer will have to discharge her cargo before getting off, as she lies well up, having been run ashore on the falling tide at about 6a.m. The passengers left for the city at about 8 o’clock on the steamboat William Fletcher. It is supposed that the fire originated in the drying-room. A Heavy Loss. CARSON City, Mich., July 28.—It is reported here that Samuel Fulham’s saw mill and shin- gle millat Gowen together with 40,000,000 feet of lumber and 10,000,000 shingles burned yes- terday; loss, $200,000; insured for $150,000. The fire is supposed to have started from a spark from the mill. THE BOND LOTTERY SCHEME. It Is a Repetition of a Swindle Worked . Some Time Ago. A warrant for fraud was taken out to-day against 8. Weiss and Edward Orenstiel, the two men arrested by Special Officers Frese and Hobbs yesterday in con- nection with the Austrian Gov- ernment bond scheme. Orenstiel is the man who was working the scheme with Weiss, and the officers got him about5o’clock last evening at Fifth and Elm streets, where the had captured Weiss earlierin the day. Bot are Austrian Jews and Orenstiel speaks no English at all. They attempted to slip atelegram out to-day to have it sent to Hugo Lederer, New York, but the message was intercepted. It was written in their native language, and in it they requested Lederer to send attorney so they could get out. Like Weiss, Orenstiel had some of the bonds on him when arrested. Lederer, to whom they desired to send the telegram, appears to be the head of the scheme, as the nds whichare sold on monthly payments: are to remain in his possession until paid for in full. Te Austrian Consul here states that a simflar scheme was worked in this city a 1 of years ago and several people defrauded, 1 them a servant girl, who lost 350 of her hard-earned dollars. At that time the bonds were more gaudy and elaborate than those found on Weiss and Orenstiel, having a deep gilt border around them. The backof the certificates found on the men arrested yesterday are ex- act fac-similes of the genuine Austrian docu- ments. Inthe warrant they are accused of obtaining 8 by fraud from Albert Henry, a saloon-keeper on Broadway and Cerre street. GRANTED A NEW TRIAL. The Case of the Bank of New York Against Robert B. Parkes & Co. CHICAGO, July 28.—The Appellate Court to- day reversed the decision of the Superior Court in the case of the Bank of the State of New York against Robert P. Parkes & Co. The firm of Parkes & Co. of New York was organized in 1883, to trade in provisions and grain. Their Chicago agent was Melville E. Nichols, who conducted deals for them on the Board of Trade here aggregating $9,000.000. The firm failed and was sued by the New York Bank, which proceeded also against Nichols, as garnishee, claiming that he owed Parkes & Co. a large amount of money. When the case was tried drafts to the amount of $300,000 drawn on Parkes 4 Co. by Nichols, were put in evidence by the plaintifis, but the Court held that they did not prove that Nichols was indebted to the firm, the legal presump- tion being that when he drew on them for money he must have had money of his own in their hands.The garnishment against Nichols was dismissed. Justice Bailey, in thedecision reversing the case,said the lawyers were guilty of strange negligence in not putting witnesses on the stund to testify in regard to the drafts and to explain what they meant. In justice to all parties, Justice Bailey said a new trial should be had. BRODIE IN COURT. The Ex-Pedestrian Gives Bail and Goes on Exhibitionin a Dime Museum. NEW YORK, July 28.—Stephen Brodie, the ex- newsboy and pedestrian, who jumped from the Brooklyn Bridge into the East River, on a wager of $100, was ar- raigned atthe Tombs Police Court to-day to answerto tne char of attempted suicide. He was accompanied by his friend Timothy Brennan, who was also charged of A an accessary before and aiter the fact Brodie's counsel moved that the charge of attempted suicide be dismissed and the Court so ordered. Brennan was then discharged from custody. The Court ordered the detention of Brodie to answer another charge and produced an indictment alleg- ing that Brodie obstructed a bridge police officer in the discharge of his duty, and was also guilty of a misdemeanor in using the south roadway of the bridge, in- tended for vehicles only, for des- trian purposes. The Court held odie in $500 bail for examination on Saturday next. Ball was furnished by a friend of Bro- die's and the latter left in company with the proprietor of a dime museum to be placed on exhibition with other curiosities. Brodie’s wife and three children were in court, besides many of his friends in the city. GENEROUS GIVERS. Contributions to the Illumination Fund—A Good Day. The illumination fund had another great day to-day, and Treasurer Moffitt smiles all over as he adds up the totals and finds the fund drawing * the end. A steady pull for three days more will enable the committee to make contracts.

THE TORY POLICY. STRONG OPPOSITION BY LIBERALS AND ALL THE PARNELLITES CERTAIN. John Dillon on the Policy of Active Re- pression — An Alleged Unconstitutional Course — Chamberlain Denounced — The Riots at Amsterdam — Distress in New- foundland—Foreign News. Special Cablegram to the Post-Dispatch. Loypon, July v8.—Salisbury’s speech at the Oariton Club yesterday was intended to bea sweetly pacific utterance. The result has been to disclose the parliamentary future in all its blackness, He announced that there would be a brief Queen's speech proposing legislation, and then financial business would be begun, the House sitting until it is finished, however long it may take. The Conservatives will adopt the extremely unconstitutional course of asking Parliament to vate supplies without knowing what is the policy of the Government for which they vote. This course is certain to be strongly opposed by many Liberals and all the Parnellitcs ; moreover, John Dillon, speaking at the fortnightly meeting of the National League at Dublin yesterday, declared that the people of Ireland would hold landlords as hostages for the behavior of the Conservatives in Par- liament. He said ifthe people were to be met by a policy of active repression, it would compel them in self defense to recommence a campaign of the utmost activity against the rents of landlords who supported such a sys- tem. He would say that the people, under such circumstances, would be justi- fed in taking from the landlords everything they could possibly take. They were not bound morally to put a limit on their attacks on the landlords, except their own ability. Mr. Maguire of Brooklyn, by the way, addressed the meeting on behalf of th’ people of the United States.’’This is the first in- timation of the policy of the Parnellites. Taken in connection with the above-mentioned op- position of the Liberals to the proposed un- constitutional course, it shows that the fat is in the fire again, and all eventualities are pos- sible. I have the highest authority for stating at this hour (noon) that not a single appoint- ment in the new Government has been made. England, CHURCHILL ON A BACK SEAT. LONDON, July 28.—The Standard thinks that the Marquis of Salisbury’s position is a safe one as long as Mr. Gladstone leads the oppo- sition. It was noticeable at the meeting at the Cariton Club yesterday that while Sir Michael Hicks-Beach occupied a seat at the table near the Marquis of Salisbury, Lord Randolph Churchill sat in one of the front rows with the rank and file. RESCUERS REWARDED. The Board oi Trade has awarded a silver cup to Capt. Ringk of the North German Lloyd steamer Fulda, for his services at the time of the sinking of the Cunard Line steamer Oregon off Fire Island. Gold medals were awarded to Mates Frankee and Seibert, and silver medals to the crews who manned the boats from the Fulda and who took many passengers from the sinking steamer. Pilots Sampson, Mitchell and Parker. the pilot- boat Phantom were awarded gold medais, while the crew of that vessel will receive silver ones. The captain of the schooner Fanny A. Gorham will-teceive a gold medal for the as- sistance he rendered the passengers and crew of the Oregon. Ireland. CORBETT DENOUNCED. DUBLIN, July 28.—The Kileedy branch of the National League has published a resolution vilifying Mr.William Joseph Corbett, Member of Parliament. Mr. Corbett is charged with failing to reduce rents and with seizing debt- ors’ cattle. The resolution says that,while he poses asa Nationalist, his true character is that of a determined and relentiess rack- renter. CHAMBERLAIN DENOUNCED. At a meeting of the National League here yesterday Mr. Joseph Bigger, M. P., made a speech in which he said there Was no reason to feel despondent over n the Con- servatives might attempt. The Parnellites, he said, have already undermined two Govern- ments, and it was not unlikely that they would unmake a thirg. He hoped that in any case they would never assist Mr. Chamberlain, wham he char- acterized as the most dishonest politician of theage. Mr.John Dillon also addressed the meeting. Hesaid that if coercion should be introduced in Ireland the landlords wonld have the most cause to regret its introduction. If home rule were offered Ireland would accept the boon, remembering, however, that it was Mr. Gladstone who first offered it. Germany. BUILDING SHIPS FOR CHINA. BERLIN, July 28.—The visit of the Marquis Tseng to Germany has reference chiefly to the ships that are being built at Stettin for the Chinese Government. WILL TOUCH AT SOUTHAMPTON. The German steamers on the Asian and Aus- tralian routes will in future touch at South- umpton. THE FISCHER AFRICAN EXPEDITION. Herr Fischer, the African explorer, reports that he has reached Wanga, north of Pangini, with the remnant of his expedition, aftera journey of extreme hardships, lasting thirty- twodays. The members of the expedition suffered severely from hunger. Of the 230 na- tives who accompanied the party fifty-one died from disease and starvation, or from wounds received in battle. Herr Fischer has secured a Vaiuable botanical and ornithological col- lection. He will proceed to Zanzibar from Wanga. DR. DUNCKELER DEAD. Dr. Albert Dunckeler, chief librarian at Cassel, is dead. AN EDITOR FINED. Dr. Emil Barth, editor of th eisifinige Zeitung, who was indicted for sidhdering the Attorney-General in connection with his action concerning the imprisonment of Herr Heine, the Socialist 1 has been found guilty and fined 500 marks. err Heine was a witness in the case, and in his evidence he ad- mitted that he had exaggerated his grievances. THE CAMEROONS. Herr Schwarz has been compelled to ter- minate his explorations in the Cameroons country, owing to the hostility of the natives. He bas, however, concluded treaties with several powerful chiefs giving Germany au- thority to establish a protectorate over that part of the country governed by them. The Netherlands. THE AMSTERDAM -RIOTS. AMSTERDAM, July 28.—Further attempts at rioting were made last night, but the police succeeded in dispersing the mobs before any serious disturbance had taken place. The to- tal casualties resulting from the outbreak are twenty-five killed and nine wounded. A LARGE NUMBER OF ARRESTS. Fift rsons bave been arrested, including Mrs. Eshe „President of the Woman's 5o- cialist Society. Only one policeman is mortally wounded, A public fund has been ned for the benefit of the ＋ 18 officers. The newspapers here applaud the lice for their bravery and prompt action severely condemn the rioters. Mexico. THE CUTTING CASE. : CHIcaGO, July 28.—The reported internation- al complications growing out of the arrest and imprisonment of Editor Cutting at Paso del Norte troops, he showed that Gen. Howard could, in avery short time, assemble a torce at El Paso or its vicinity which would seriously in- convenience the forces which could be raised in Chihuahua, and all that section of Mexico. Gen. Williams had no fears, however, about any conflict between the regular forces of Mexico andthe United States. Ex-Secretary of War Robert T. Lincoln said that it was u small matter, and did not think it would in- volve any international complication. His experience had led him to believe that Mexico was friendly tothe United States and that a persona! difference between individuals would not disturb the friendly feelings or lead to any appeal to armed interference. He said: ‘‘M opinion is of but little value, but I will prom.- ise there will be no war with Mexico over Ed- itor Cutting. The Dominion. HONORED ‘BY THE POPE. CHICAGO, July 28.—N. R. Martineau, a mer- chant of Fall River, Mass., was the delegate from the French Canadians of New England at the installation of Cardinal Taschereau. Mr. Martineau went twice to Rome to obtain a French Canadian pastor for the Fall River Church and was made, at the direct instance of Rome, the recipient of the cross and other ewe of the Papal Order of the Holy Sepul- DEVASTATED BY WHITB BEARS. Sr. JOHNS, N. ., July28.—A dispatch from White Bay says that a large number of Arctic bears, driven south by starvation, have crossed over from Pennyland and are devas- tating the country. The bears number over one thousand and have appeared near Cape Mugford. The Indians in that locality are eating their dead companions. Those who die among the white settlers are buried secretly to keep the Esquimaux from getting their bodies. The graves are all disguised. The Cholera. IN ITALY.

Padua, 19 new cases;4 deaths. Venice, 22 new cases; 3 deaths. ‘here were no new cases and no deaths in the city of Venice during the twenty four hours. The Soudan. KHARTOUM RAZED. CAIRO, July 28.—Wassif Bey, who has ar- rived here from the Soudan, reports thut Khartoum has been razed by the rebels. He believes that a force marching to re-establish the Khedive's authority, would now meet with a welcome rather than with resistance. Bulgaria. DON’T WANT RUSSIAN COIN. SOPHIA, July 28.—Prince Alexander has pro- hibited the circulation of Russian coinin Bul- garia. - LOST THEIR WAY. Group of Supposed Meteors Seen Last Night in the Eastern Sky. Those who spent the hour between II o’clock and midnight last night in star-gazing ob- served an unusual sight just above the eastern horizon. It was in the shape of a heavenly body about the size of a small orange, in close proximity to another and a smaller one, the two connected by a wide band of light. The whole formed an elongated object, occupying an apparent span of about a foot long lu the sky. Its color at st was of a bright red, al- most blood color, caused, no doubt, by its low elevation above the line of the horizon. It was plainly vis ible for a full hour, and underwent some tartling changes within that time. When rst observed at 11 o’clock it was quite large and was endowed witb an Irregular motion, the tail, as it were, veering around like a weathercock while the big, round héad remained stationary. Instead of rising, as did the stars, the object, whatever it was, seemed to sink toward the east by slow de- grees. Its brilliancy and distinctness were sustained until the hour of midnight. when suddenly there urose a disturbance in the strange combination and its light was reduced to about half its former intensity. The change was rapid, as rapid asif the larger body had burst, and within a few seconds after this commotion was observed, the celestial visitor sank quickly and cisappeared altogether. The phenomenon was seen by several peo- ple and was a puzzle to many. Its appear- ance no doubt can be explained bythe fact that the present time of the year is that at which the earth, in its orbit around the sun, passes through a hypvthetical ring of meteors from which are thrown off occasional soli- taires, which are consumed in their flight toward the earth or the moon. The phenom- enon seen last night, juduing by its size, must have been a number of these aimlessly wan- dering stones, unusually large or extremely close to the earth. BRADY WILL BE BAILED. Acting Judge Harvey Will Let Noonan Act on the Question. Judge Chris. Schawacker was again at the Four Courts to-dao in regard to baving Frank Bra- dy, in jail for the killing of McCarthy, released on bond. Circuit Attorney Clover had a conversation with Mr. Thomas B. Harvey, Acting Judge of the Court of Criminal Correction, in regard to the mat- ter to-day, Mr. Harvey having prosecuted Brady when the latter was convicted. In the absence of Judge Van Wagoner of the Criminal Court, Mr. Harvey as acting Judge of the Court of Criminal Cor- rection is the only man authorized to take bond inthe case. As he was the prosecutor of Brady he naturally does not want to pass upon the matter, and hence nothing will be done in the case until Judge Noonan resumes the bench. It is prob- able, however, that bond in the sum of $1,500 will be recommended and accepted in the case. BAD MARKSMEN. Halpin and Hecker Fined for Discharging Firearms. August Hecker and Thomas J. Halpin were tried before Judge Cady this morn- ing for discharging firearms. They had been to a picnic, it appeared, and Hecker and a companion got into a row with Halpin over some women. Hecker and his friend drew revolvers and opened up fire on Halpin, and the latter, who was also provided with a gun, re- turned the compliment, emptying a seven- shooter inavain endeavor to hit oneof the men. The shooting took place right in a public street which was thronged with ople, but fortunately no outsiders seoppen | any of the — bullets. Halpin and Hecker were arrested but the other man made his escape. Judge Cady fined each of the de- fendants $25 and costs. BOLTON’S DEFALCATION.

THE PROPOSITION OF THOMSON’S BONDS- MEN CAUSES A HEATED DISCUSSION. The Attorney for the Stockholders Opposes the Settlement — Favored Strongly by Creditors and Their Attorneys—The De- cision of the Question Deferred—Orders of Court—Work of the Stockholders’ Committee—Receiver Thompson Talks. Judge Lubke faced an array of seer-suck- ered attorneys this afternoon in Judge Dillon’s court, when the affairs of the bro- ken Provident Bank were brought up. They represented themselves as wellas depositors and creditors of the bank, and as every one knows, when an attorney happens to be directly concerned ina failure he makes music for the persons in charge of the estate. The stockholders were represented in Court by Herman A. Haeussler and his im- passioned utterances imparted a warm inter- est to the proceedings. Judge Adams, representing the receiver, who was not present, said that he desired first to call the attention of the Court to the petition of the receiver containing a proposition look- ing to settlement with the sureties on the bonds of the defaulting cashier. The particu- lars of that proposition have already been published in thePost-DisPaTCH and widely dis- cussed. There were two bonds executed by the absconding cashier, one of $30,000 to the Prov- ident Savings Institution, with k. M. Scruggs and Almond Thomson as sureties, and one of 12 to the Provident Bank, with Wm. 1. Thompson, Carlos S. Greeley, Almon Thomson and R. M. Scruggs as sureties. A portion of the cashier's deficiency related to a note for $8,500, of date October 18, 1885, given to the bank and urporting to be secured by a certificate for 100 shares of the Crystal Plate Glass Company, whereas, in fact, the certificate was raised from one to one hundred, and in fact, there was only one share. On the 29th of September. 1885, the cashier borrowed 315,000, for which were pledged seveuty shares of the Provident Bank, thirty shares of the Silvering and Ornamental Piate Glass Company, and a fraudulent cer- tificate of fifty shares of the Provident Bank. It was clear that there had been an embezzlement of $13,500 or a misappropriation in that sum. It was true that the cashier had taken $15,000 which he was not entitled to and therefore the liability of the sureties on the second bond was clearly shown to be $28,500. On the first bond it had been shown that the sureties were liable to the extent of $20,000, for prior to the transfer from the Provident Savings Institution to the Prov- ident Bank the cashier had exe- cuted his own draft, indorsed by himself, in that sum. It was roposed to pay the full amount of the second ond, $30 006, and $20,000 on the first bond on ‘condition that the bonds and the securities of the defaulting cashier be turned over. The receiver, of course, could not collect more than the penalty ot these bonds. The attorney for the receiver had not heard of a dissentient on the part of a depositor to the settlement proposed and its aceeptance would do away with long and costly litigation to recover on the bonds. Mr. Haeussler rose to his feet and said that he represented himself as a stockholder and would enter an objection to any such settlement. The stockholders held the bag in this matter, and they were most directly concerned. He contended thatthe receiver was not the proper person to have presented the matter to the Court, for he was directly interested himself. He, Mr. Haeussler, disputed the proposition that the sureties were not liable for more than the amouut of the tirst bond. There had been false entries on the books and mal- feasance in office connected with the absconding cashier’s operations. If Mr. Scruggs wanted to show a liberal spirit let him come forward and pay off the notes at once, and let the remaining questions of liability on the cashier’s bond stand. There was no danger in delay in that regard for the swreties were perfectly good for recovery of the full amount of both bonds. Such a question as this compromise should be referred in ahy case. The Court, could not act until the information of the bank’s affairs was before it in tangible shape. There had been no inventory filed and there was a grave question whether the whole proceeding leading to the appointment ofa receiyer was proper, or whether it could stand. The stockholders had not been con- sulted. A committee of § stockholders had just been given access to the books, but they had not time to fully examine the bank’s condition. There was good sense in delaying the filing of the inventory. Its publication might lead to delay and difficulty in collecting some of the assets promptly and it would seriously impair the credit of some of the debtors to the bank. There wus no immediate hurry about the bonds. Let the matter stand until the stockholders had completed the examination, anyhow. The sureties were not likely to become insolvent. The Court said that the important question was the extent of the liability on the first bond. It would be necessary to xssure the Court by some method thatthe liability could not ex- ceed $20,000 before the receiver’s petition in that regard could be considered. Mr. Ralston said that he represented Smith P. Galt, a depositor for $17,000. Mr. Galt approved of the proposition and hoped that it would be accepted. It would avoid the delayof suing on the bonds and — waste of the estate in attorneys’ ees. Mr. H. D. Wood, representing several depositors, hoped that the proposition would be accepted. The receiver was the only man who could present the matter tothe Court. It amounted to an offer of five- sixths of the penalty on both bonds. Conceding a loss of $10,000 by the arrangement, it was yet beneficial for years of litigation would be avoided. and the interest alone would amount to $3,000 per annum if the cases slept in the courts. Mr. Chas. Nagel, representing creditors of the bank, said that they desired the accept- ance of the S and wanted no delay. They hoped, moreover, that the receiver would continue to administer the assets in the same = spirit. He should be permitted to continue the good work without any annoyance or interference from various Parties who lacked the receiver’s judgment and there was little doubt that the depositors would get all their money out, Mr. W. B. Homer said that he favored the proposed settlement. As to the liability on the second bond,as he understood it, the bank stock would remain in the hands of the re- a Mr. Delano said that representing depos- tors he thought the proposition should. be accepted. n the case of the Third National Bank teller, Owen, the litigation against the bondsmen was still Ko- ing on before a referee, years and years after the sentence of the offender. Mr. McUann thought that the proposition should be accepted, although he believed it proper to have the matter referred. The can- cellation of the bonds does not release the cashier, but only his bondsmen. Mr. Joy favored the compromise. The col- laterals, if forged, cannot be recovered u on, and there was no release as to the absconder. The Court said that the extent of the liability on the first bond must e ut in shape before the Court could take an action. bring that about afidavits should be filed by arties opposin the we showing the liability on the firs bo to* be fount than „000. The amdavits should show what the additional Iia- bility would be. The proposition was simply to pay $50,000 for a penalty of $60,000. To avoid a reference of the matter the affidavits should be filed by Friday evening, The prop- osition stood open till August 2, and the Court 1 — d take 1 72 r.

DISHONORED CHECKS AND DRAZJS. It is ordered by the Court that all cases where, prior to the taking possegsion of the assets of the Provident Suvings k by the receiver, individuals or a N had de- posited checks or drafts in said bank and where the same had gone to their credit on the current account of said bank and when such checks or drafts were not paid by the drawees thereof on presentment, but on the contrary were dishonored and returned to said bank after the receiver took charge, that in all such cases, upon the request of the depositor of such check or draft. the receiver shall surrender the same to him and take credit therefor on such indt- vidual's personal account, and in all such cases where such check or draft was 80 de- posited and dishonored, and where the amount did not go to the credit of the depositor on the books of the bank, that in all such cases the receiver shall deliver to the depositor such check or draft upon de- mand, his order, however, shall have no effect in any case in which the said bank has a claim against such depositor. TRANSFER TO RECEIVER. Ordered od gg Court that the defendant, Thos. H. Swain, Vice-President of the Provi- dent Savings Bank, do forthwith make and execute a general transfer to Wm. H. Thomp- son, receiver, of all the right, title and inter- est of the bank in and to any and all the notes, bills receivable, accounts and choses in action of every kind prior to the 14th of July, 1886, held or owned by the bank. And itis further ordered that Vice-President Swain do indorse and assign such of said notes, bills, accounts and choses in action as may now be in the actual possession of the receiver 2 on the back thereof: ‘‘Pay Wm. Thompson, Receiver, and sign the same with his name as Vice-President. NOTES LEFT FOR COLLECTION. It is ordered by the Court that in all cases where individuals or corporations prior to the 14th ot July, 1886, left notes or bills or other evidences of demand with the Provident Bank for collection and for credit to their account in said bank when collected, and where the proceeds of such collection were not received by said bank prior tu the taking possession thereof by the receiver, and where since taking posses- sion by the receiver, he as such receiver has received the proceeds of such collection, in all such cases he pay over such proceeds tothe persons originally depositing such notes, bills and other evidences of demand for collection, rovided such persons are notinany manner ndebted to said bank. THE STOCKHOLDERS’ COMMITTEE. At2o’clock this afternoon the committee appointed at the meeting of the stockhold- ers of the Provident Savings Bank re- sumed the investigation of the books ih company with Receiver Thompson. As far as they have progressed the showing is very satisfactory. One member of the committee stated that the bills receivable are all good in the judgment of the committee. The real estate security was found to be very moder- ately valued and is good for the amount counted on. The assets appear to be good as far as examined, viz.: to the amount of $600 ,000. This, how- ever, does not include the Anchor Milling Company loan of $150,000. Oonsiderable worthless paper which was probably taken in by the absconding cashier on his own respon- sibility was found. Among the suspended bilis were some handed down by previous boards. To-day attention was principally devoted to the exchange maturing account, which amounts to 5170, 000. It seems, however, that the resuit of the investigation will be of little importance. Only 315 shares of the bank stock was represented at the meeting, which authorized the committee to proceed with the investigation. Between a half a dozen persons a greater numberof shares than was represented at the meeting is held. There appears to be no interest taken by the majority of the stockholders’ in this movement to wind up the affairs of the bank. The committee will re- port back tothe meeting of stockholders as soon as some definite conclusion is reached as to the assets and liabilities of the defunct bank. MR. THOMPSON, the receiver of the Provident Bank, was seen to-day by a reporter of the POsST-DISPATCH and asked regarding the examination of the asacts made by the committee of the stock- holders. Jes, they looked over some of the assets, but it is impossible to examine the assets ofa bunk in two or three hours. They will resume their work this atternoon.’’ They say that those bills receivable which they have examined were very good. 8 yes, they are good, but assets are not cash. Do you think the committee will do what they expect to do-reorguntzing the directory and paying out?’’ That is a subject on which I would rather nottalk. Itis a difficult task these gentlemen have mapped out, but it anybody can do the work, they can. Idon’t want to discourage them. I’d rather see them succeed, so, as 1 say, I don't cure to give my opinion about the question of their success.“ ‘‘What about your statement of the bank’s condition?’’ It willbe some weeks before I can give a final statement, but I hope to be able to make a general one by the last of this week. LOTS OF LIGHT. Arrangements for More Illumination at the Exposition, Last night the final arrangements were made by the Exposition for the are lights. They will be fifty-five in nuinber this year, and will be placed upon the Olive, Thirteenth and Fourteenth street sides, thus illuminating the three sides of the exterior. The interior will also be lighted by several that will be suspended from the ceiling. Not long ago an important change was made in the Entertainment Hall which has resulted in making it the best lighted hall in the country. There are 530 incandescent lights in the ball and they had been tried the past year at sixteen candle-power. The results were not as satisfactory as had been anticipated and so the other day a change was made throughout by which each light was increased to twenty-four candle-power, giving the 530 lights a total candle-power of 12,720. The Shapleigu-Cantwell Hardware Com- pany began operations to-day on their structure. President Rennurd Will de home next week. No work has yet commenced in Machinery Hall, but several car loads of exhibits are on their way. The following general spbscriptions were sent in yesterda and to-day: Oramer Dry Plate works, „John Isgrig, $5; Freund Bros., $25; W. H. Langdale, $5; John W. Turner, S; R.A. Campbeil, S; W.

Brown of the Hotel Brown had arrested on a charge of obtaining board under false pretenses, had a trial to-day in the Court of Criminal Cor rection. Itis the first case of this kind out of about a half-dozen brought by Oapt. Brown which has gone to trial, the others having all been com- promised. From the testimony of Bro appeared that Hagen not only 2 — aie 35 of a board bill, but also with $7 of bor- rowed money.

The Knights of Labor to Be Used as a Club to Beat Glover with — McGarry’s Queer Indorsement— The Lancaster- Harrigan Difficulty—Bill Swift’s Sudden Conversion—Gossip. An announcement of mysterious origin was madeafew days ago to the effect that the Knights of Labor would put up a candidate for Congress in the Ninth District. The im- portance ofthis proposed move became evi- dent at once. It has been discussed exten- sively in political circles, and conceded to mean the election of a Republican Con- gressman if the plan is success- fully carried out. Congressman Glover, who expects to succeed himself, was of course the most deeply interested man on the Democratic side of the House. A well-informed gentleman, who has kept Con- gressman Glover posted on local matters af- fecting his interests in the district, began an investigation into thé report. He ascertained that it first gained publicity through pubiica- tionina morning paper, towhich thé news had been sent in the form of an anonymous communication. Further than this he failed to trace it. Since the publication referred to, several of the local Knights of Labor have developed a fund of political infor- mation and statistics which they were never supposed to have had. Statistical in- formation is not usually the subject of dis- cussion across the forge or between the anvil taps. A more remarkable fact stillis that the statistical information so readily offered to listeners by the Knights is confined to the Ninth Congressional District affairs. This and other facts led to the conclusion that the Knights bad been primed with the facts and figures by some one who had more time to gather them than a Knight of Labor who even enjoyed all the blessings of the eight-hour system. It is now very generally understood that the proposed candidacy is a scheme concocted b u set of tricky, disgruntied Democrats to han the district over to the Republicans, rather than see the present promises fulfilled. With this politically disreputable project the name of Surveyor Lancaster has been connected in the most compromising manner by his in- judicious friends andconfreres. It is stated that Lancaster’s hatred for Congressman Glover, and the utter hopelessness of defeat- ing him if the plucky little Congressman can sustain his present combinations has sug- gested to bis enthusiastic friends this piece of party pertidy. Every effort has been nade to draw mb Mgt bool supports. Lancaster ap- poe ob Towhey in person. John Clark as been appealed to by close personal friends. Blong and Kenefick and all the Glover material have been attacked, but withont success. One of Glover’s main reliances has been the laboring element of the district. Without this his friends do not contend that he has a ghost of a chance. Toundermine him at this point is accordingly the dernier resort of the wily Lancastrian forces. Several Knights of Labor were questioned, but knew nothing of the plan. r. John J. McGarry, who has been named as the Knight of Labor candidate for Congressin the Eighth District, was seen last evening and asked what truth there was in his rumored candidacy. Ne I'll run if I get the National nomi- nation?“ ‘*‘Why do you require that if you intend to run as a Knight of Labor?“ Because they have an organization and a Central Committee, and when they present a list of judges and clerks to the Mayor he must recognize them if they are respectabie resi- dents of the ward and precinct as repre- sented.’’ It you don’t get the National nomination what will ensue?’’ **There’ll be a split.’’ Didn't the first suggestion of your candi- dacy come from Surveyor Lancaster?’’ ‘*Well—from some of h.s friends.“ Don't you think you are being used as a catspaw by Lancaster to beat Glover?’’ „Oh, the Knights haven't much use for Glover, now. Have you any idea that you can do any- thing but elec the Republican candidate? Do ou know that the Congressional vote in the Ninth District fell 3,700 short of the Presiden - tial vote at the McLean-Glover election? Do you know anything of a mysterious meeting said to have been held in the anony- mous communication where your name was signed?’’ No, I wasn't at any such meeting. Mr. McGarry seemed to be perfectly willing to continue in the race even under the above understanding of his candidacy. As stated in yesterday’s PosT-DISPATCH, it is not the policy of the Knights of Labor to eee any member of the u to run or office as their candidate. It was tried not long ago by several. Knights at San An- tonio and East St. suis, and in every instance the ambitious Knight was sat down upon vigorously by the local as- semblies. With these facts in mind itis no easy matter to explain McGarry’s statement that he will be the candidate of the Green- back or National party and notof the Knights of Labor. Agentleman who held an inter- view with the master workman of a local Knight of Labor ne ieee last night at Schnaider’s Garden informed a POST- DISPATCH reporter this morning that McGarry had been indorsed by only one assembly and not by the Knights of the district. ‘‘I was told,’’ he said, ‘‘that Mac’s candidacy was looked upon as a joke by the assemblies with which Mac is not connected. It is well known that the Knights will not havea candidate in the fleld and very few Knights would be called upon to vote for MoGarry should he run.“ Chairman Nolan of Assembly No. 3,650 states that he did not oe atany meeting at which Mr. McGarry Was nominated for Congress. He did not attend any such wmeet- ing on last Saturday, and entirely disclaims any knowledge of the action at- tributed to the meeting by those who put MoGarry in nomination through rumor and the anonymous communication. A FACTION FIGHT. A short time ago the Post-DisPatcn pub- lished the details of alittle unpleasantness at ameeting of the Hendricks Association be- tween Maj. Lawrence Harrigan and Tom Morris. he opinion was expressed at the time that the quarrel grew out of the trouble between Lancaster and the Appraiser, and that Morris was but an in- strument in the hands of parties of h&her standing. who were desirous of injuring the political influence of Maj. Harri- gan. An unbroken sequence of events ofa similar nature seems to confirm this construc- tion of the difficulty. Directly in the line of Morris’ opposi- tion to Harrigan, a rather queer com- bination has been formed to defeat the election of Hen delegates in the Twentieth Ward to the State Convention. Un the surface, this 1 ation of political talent is composed of Bill Swift, Billy Baggot, the coal oil inspector, and Tom Morris. Swift, of late, has been drifting away from the Har- rigan crowd, and is no longer counted among Larry’s friends. He heretofore been the uncompromising opponent of Bag- got and the incentive or inducement must ave weight which led him to change so sud- denly. Baggot is but the tool of the Marmaduke men, who are known to be running Martin’s canvass and his presence is accounted for on that score. orris, like Swift, has never been known as friendly to Baggot or the Marmaduke influence — 1 his conversion has also been rather un ected. Lancaster, who is believed to be at the head of the movement, is friendly to Martin in this campaign, while H and Butler are for Henry. Upon the whole the situation is very perplexing, to aay the least, and the only inference hat can be drawn from it is that the Ward willbe made the battiesela Bre ee test for first blood inthe fight between what have becom known as the Lan- caster and arfigan factions.

The Elevator Men Make a Demand on the ExcKange Directory. A committee of the elevator owners con- sisting of Web I. Samuel and John Jackson, this afternoon presented to the Merchants’ Exchange Directory their petition for repeal of a rule adopted about two years ago under which the grain inspectors have been changed from elevators every sixty days, This system of rotation is approved by the millers as calculated to make the inspection more thorough, but is opposed by the elevator men as vexatious. The latter asked the millers to meet with them and unite in asking the repeal of the rule, but owing tothe difference of views. the millers deciined to do so asa body, though gome individual millers attended the meeting. The consumers of the grain say that an in- spector who inspects wheat into an elevator will do so more carefully if he knows that another inspector may be stationed there when that wheat is to be inspected out. The elevator men say there is no difference in care, the inspection being just as thorough under one system as another, while the rotation thrusts upon them every sixty days a new man and delays business.

A Two-Days Trial at Clayton of Two St. Louis School Principals for Beating a Hair Dealer—Testimony that Rankled Eight Years—A Free Fight and What Came of It—Justice Bradford’s Queer Way of Settling a Hung Jury. This morning just as Sol was washing out the corners of his eyes and wondering why in the name of his patron saint the cham- bermaid insisted on leaving him ragged towels, two horsemen might have been seen wearily riding into the city over the macadam on Clayton road. One was Jay L. Torrey, and the other was John Robinson, the stenographer, minus his button-hole bouquet. They were return- ing from atwo days trial of an assault and battery case at Clayton, and having lent the light of their countenances till the conclusion. of the proceedings they were in search of more metropolitan entertainment for man and beast than the hostelries of St. Louis County’s capi- tal could furnish. The trial they had attended was The State of Missouri vs. Scott and Ben Blewett, in which the defendants were charged with having assaulted and battered James C. Elms, a hair dealer, doing business on Fourth street opposite Union Murket. The Blewetts and Eims live at Woodland, a de- lightful suburb on the Frisco Kailroad, where everyone knows everybody—his personalty, ancestors, progeny and skeletons. In this intimate relationship the Blewetts and Elms did not harmonize. To rightly understand the cause of this some study of ancient history is essential. EIGHT YEARS AGO Scott Blewett was called as a witnessina suit brought by Elms to eject a tenant who was behindhand with therent money. Thgre had been an election a month or two ptevious to decide whether the County Capital shouid be at Jennings Station or Clayton, and Elms voted. Thetenanttold Elms that he would not dare eject him, as he (the tenant) knew he (Elms) voted in spite of the fact that he (Elms again) had not been naturalized. Pressed for his authority on that state- ment the tenant said he had been told the fact by Prof. Blewett. Elms met Prof. Blewett a few days later and asked for a confirmation of the story, which was given. The hair dealer then called the professor a liar. Smarting under this indignity offered his tather, Scott Blewett on the stand in the evic- tion case, testified that not one of Elm's neighbors would believe him on oath. This testimony rankled in Kims’ brain until May 8, 1886, when he met the brothers, Scott and Ben Blewett, their guest Chas. E. Barney of Scruggs, Vandervoort & Barney, and Willie Hord going tothe train. As he ap- roached the Blewetts, Elms said to Scott that e would have to make a public retraction of the statement made on the . witness stand eight years previous. After this point the testimony of witnesses varies, but it appears certain that Elms was treated very roughly. His wounds were dressed when he came tothe city. Heswore out warrants at Clayton charging the four men of the Blewett party mentioned with assault, On the cases coming to trial a sev- erance was had as to Barney and Hord. The brothers Blewett stood trial together. The as- salt was committed within sight of the win- dows of Elms’ house and his wife and daughter saw it. They were among his wit- nesses. THE CASE WAS WARMLY CONTESTED, and it being charged that Jay L. Torrey had advised the Blewetts to commit violence, he was placed on the stand. He said the gen- tlemen had come to him for advice; he ‘went to see Elms with refer- ence to threats made and became convinced that Elms intended some violence. The latter said, ‘‘Uniess Scott Blewett makes a public retraction he or I will bite the dust. On that Mr. Torrey told the Blewetts they would have to protect themselves; the law did not provide an adequate remedy. The jury was out about three-quarters of an hour after the case was given them last night and the parties began to fear that a verdict would not be reached. They said a verdict of one kind or another ought to be given. They did not want another tri nor did they care to wait long. On this Justice Giles Bradford, before whom the case was being tried, went into the jury-room. He found the vote was four for convic- tion and two for acquittal. He told the jury that the parties had agreed among them- selves and wanted a verdict—they did not care what it was. On this the jury came into the court-room at 12:30 o’clock this morning, and the foreman said their verdict was for convic- tion in the case of Seott Blewett, assess- ing a fine of $1 and costs, and acquittedin the case of Ben Blewett. The jury was polled. Four said that was their verdict. Two said it was not theirs. They had been told the parties had compromised their quarrel. On that the j had resolved to return the verdict read by the foreman. But they—the two—would not agreé to it it they were kept in confinement for two years. In this turn of the Justice was forced to dischar the jury and another trial will be had. The case has assumed alarming proportions at Woodland, where every man is either a Blewett or an Elms. The first party are the most numerous. Scott Blewett is Principal of Stoddard School in the city, and Ben Blewett is Principal of Divoll School. Their father is connected with a suburban seminary.

Prospects of Trouble to the Pool in Con- trolling Prices. The meeting of flaxsged crushers at Chicago was not entirely satisfactory. An agreeinent as to prices was made, and so far the organ. ization of a pool completed, but it was in. tended that the word pool should not bes anomalous in its application to the consolidated company of crushers. The fail. ure of complete representation aud the strife of opinion between those present prevented the consummation of a plan which has for its object the control of the flaxseed pur. chases during this harvest. The crop is undoubtedly short—how short it is impossible to say accurately as yet. The long drouth in Southern Dakota and Minnesota has prevented the seed from maturing perfectly, and until it is threshed no one can positively say what the shortage willbe. Inthe event it is (as the crushers anticipated) very short the contests to pur. chase will 12 the price to a high point, giv- ins the seed an artificial value that cannot be maintained to a compensating extent in the oil. To obviate this some crushers proposed that the pooled mills buy the seed either through one authorized purchaser or by each of the mills under contro! and direction of the pool officers, each mil! to be supplied with a pro rata share of the en tire crop of seed purchased. A meeting has been called, or will be called at an early date, to again attempt to get all the mills to agree to this pian. An oil man this morning laughed at the idea. He said: It is impractical. Crushers and commission men have furnished seed to the farmers in the flaxseed regions on agree- ments to take their crops at established prices. Most of these farmers are too poor to buy seed, and are carried in this way from year to ear. So a large amountof the new crop 8 already sold. Then, owners of little elevators through the seed country have made advances on crops and arrangements to buy. If the specu- lators in Chicago, where the price of seed is controlled, see that the crop is going to be short they can step in, buy from these small holders and keep the seed in elevators until they can get aprice for it. They can push the price up in spite of a pool of crushers. he price of seed is regu- lated by the market in Chicago less the freight from the station where it isto Chicago, and it would bealively poo! that could keep the price down if the speculators went into the deal.’’ MUELLER’S CRUELTY. A Heavy Fine Imposed on the Cable Spool Contractor. Henry Mueller, who had the contract of hauling the immense spool cable for the Cable Road, was up before Judge Cady this mérning on charges of obstructing the streets and crueity to animals. In the first case he was charged with obstructing Market street with the spool cable for two days, to the great inconvenience of the street-car line on the street, and traffic generally. This case was continued until August 4. The other charge had nothing whatever todo with the hauling of the cable. He was working a team of horses under whose collars there were sores four by six inches long, and when the collars were raised blood and putrified matter oozed forth from them. As this was the eighth or tenth time he has been in gee on similar charges and the cause was such an aggravated one udge Cad fined him $75. 5 e 1 „ A HORRIBLE MURDER. in a Fight. NASHVILLE, Tenn., July 28. -News ot a most horrible murder comes from near Jasper, n Marion County. Two negroes, named Ben Hicks and Tom Hayes, got into a difficulty over a quarrel between their wives.

He then cut several ribs entirely in twain, dividing up his heart, opened his stomach and bowels, cut a portion of one ear off, cut one leg nearly off at the Bip pitt. and other minor injuries, from which Hayes died instantly.

FORENOON SESSION—CLOSING 1P. u. The Agricuitural Department of India has issued a memorandum giving a final and close estitnate as possible for the wheat acreage and yield for 188-6. The acreage for the year was 835,000 acres less than that of 1884-5, and the yield 24,528,000 bu less, but the acreage and jeld of 1884-5 was an exceptionally heavy one. The total yield was 288,922,000 bu. The average yield in past years has been 266 ,373,000 bu, so that the present yield is 22,549,000.bu above an average. This report states that the extension of the railroad system is at once greatly extending the field of wheat cul- tivation in India. The completion of the Mahratta Railway will largely increase the production of the Bombay Presidency, while as regards the central provinces it is stated that much of the wheat-producing area lies at present beyond the reach of railways, and that the only check to production over a large area of fertile soil is the existing diffi- culty of carriage. — The amount of wheat and flour on passage to the United Kingdom has decreased 1,040,000 bus and to the Continent increased 80,000 bu, making a total de- crease in ocean wheat of 960 , 000 bu; the amount of corn headed for Europe increased 680,000 bu.— Taking into consideration last week’s imports, the ship- ments to the United Kingdom of wheatand flour from all countries were less than 1,700,- 000 bu, and nearly all of this came from Atlan- tic ports in this country.——The stocks of wheat and flour in bushels in the United King- dom on July 1, 1886, were 20,658,060 bu, or 1,154,000 bu larger than three months earlier, 4,417,395 bu smaller than six months earlier on January 1, and but 76,400 bu less than a yearago on July 1. 1885. — . J. Tew, a miller of Rushford, Minn., writes Mauntel, Borgess & Co., that wheat harvesting is under way, and from a third to half cutin that section. Crop will be light, but of better quality than last season. He estimates the vield at 6tos bu per acre, and thinks farmers will move slowly if present rices continue.——Chicago wired Fath- wald: ‘‘Telegrams here reporting French wheat crop short 55,000,000 bu. — Crosby tel- egraphed Chadbourne: ‘‘ Antwerp reports only one day’s rain; England, weather favorable. —McCormick Co.’s advices were that corn longs were selling freely in Chicago and New York this evening, and brokers for bull houses on wheat were also selling.— Henry Slaughter telegraphed Chicago: The in- creased acreage and stand of corn this season will allow of 25 per cent shortage and still give us a crop of 1,600,000,000 bushels. Our travel- ing men report no such shortage in Nebraska, Kansas and Missouri, but say corn is looking well since recent rains. here is more old corn in the country than for years, estimated as high as 50 per cent of last crop. Think bears on corn from this out will ride, on band-wagon when procession comes home.’’ —New York wired Fath-Ewald: ‘‘Night- ingale’s cables depressed, denies report of danger to French crops, reports harvesting progressing favorably and weather favor- able in United Kingdom and Continent. No chance for export unless we decline 1@2s.’’ ——Cuthbert Powell, editor Kansas City Live Stock Record and Price Current, was on the floor to-day. He says the corn crop of Kansas is safe, the late rains having assured the crop. The corn through Missouri he saw wasin good shape, too, and in none of itis there any signs of ‘‘firing.’’ He estimates the crop of the count at 2,000,000,000 bushels, on basis of the 25 per cent increase in acreage reported by the Government bureau.— Late advices were thatthe wheat crop of the Northwest was panning out much detter than had been expected, and farmers are beginning to sell, so that a much freer movement is promised to market than has been looked for.——‘‘Uncle Isaac’’ Smyth, the Exchange floor manager, was back this morning from the East, where he has been with his son Will. — Tom Miller, General 2 — Agent ofthe B. & M. road, —— through the finest corn section of Nebraska, wired Joe Sherry: From best information I can prospect is we will have half a crop. ae lead good; soft Spanish was freely offered in New York to-day at $4.80, so John Wahl &Co.’s New York house advised. There is a de- cline of Tic from yesterday and was equivalent to $4.55@4.60 here.——‘‘Kan- sas City is the corn market,’’ said Ed Samuel. They are bidding 40e there for October, or within 30 of us. It costs 9c to bring it here. ——Export purchasers of wheat New York were eight loads.——-A___ large amount of long wheat and corn at the ad- vanced rates. rincipal bulls have sold out. in — and New ork, and the outsiders are probably now holding the bag. Wheat—Before the market opened it was thought the market would climb much higher, as about all the influences favored the bull side. The chief was the increase of 960,000 bu in amount on ocean passage for Europe. Then there were stro public and stea Bg firm private cables, and a re- rt that the Frencb crop would be short 55,- ,000 bu, that other Contin crops were in danger, besides the boom in corn to ‘help it. et with all these the only advan gained here was ½ in August, the other months opening apenas and then the whole line deci . nere had probably been too much bull pressure, and on an attempt to realize, the market gave way, the bears taking advantage of the weakness to und prices down sharply, and after a short ime e nature of the news disti ch d and flopped clear over to the bear side.

Corn—The rallying cry of the bulls this morning was 81 over ain, and the way they did whoop it u or a while was a caution to the shorts. ather throughout corn belt clear and dry and no signs of rain was the Signal Service and the Western Union report, and as for damage reports from the West, they came in thick and fast, both from Kansasand Nebraska. These with strong cables, falling off receipts from the country and the buliish feeling that is now paramount, gave a wild opening to the market and advances of IS e were paid at an early hour. Numerous buying orders from the country were on and at the opening, and with the short de- mand here, and the ‘‘yapping’’ of the bulls and call holders sent the market rapidly whirling upward. There was pretty lively selling, however, by parties who do not believe in thé crop scare and also by scalpers, but the principal seliers were longs. 0 market dropped back from its strong position and became weak, though more or less unset- tiled. It was — that many of the longs were selling out as rapidly as they could, yet there was an active demand mainly on outside account that — 4 — freely, and declines would be followed quick reactions.

AMUSEMENTS TO-NIGHT, UnsRric’s CAVE—Mikado. —— Now THAT the stockholders’ committee * has reported that the assets of the Provi- | dent Savings Bank are good the question tt arises, why did the directors shut it up? | THE Democrats of — the Third and Fourth Missouri districts yesterday recognized the services of their Congressmen by re- nominating them. One good term de- serves another. : — = RN vet oo g N THE examination made by the Stock- 1 holders’ Committee into the assets of the iif Provident Savings Bank acquits the Di- rectors of the charge of grand larceny, but convicts them ofavery aggravated case of ‘‘damphool.’’ — — — — Tur Democrats of the Ninth Congres- sional District must be prepared against 12 attempts to use every dirty trick known f in disreputable politics and gotten up for the purpose of defeating Congressman GLOVER. Every one of these tricks will probably be traced back to the reform Surveyor of the Port of St. Louis, the non-partisan gentleman selected by the reform President for the best office in the State. . 1 To A Kentucky mother who named her ' babe after the President’s wife, Mrs. CLEVELAND has written a note of thanks, but begging that the child shall always be called Frances“ or ‘‘Frank,’’ never „Frankie,“ as she dislikes the latter form very much. This touches Mr. DawNa’s office cat in a tender spot, and will go far towards reconciling him to an Administra- tion in which he has hitherto smelled nothing but rats. 2 : 2 „ 3 Ir is too soon for papers to decide how GERONIMO shall be treated when captured. It will be time enough to discuss the mat- ter after the capture. The imprudence of this sort of ‘‘previousness’’ was illus- trated when Mr. BLANR and his political field marshals divided out the fat offices just before the last Presidential election. It was under the pressure of this excessive and unreliable foresight that JohN Roach was fooled into contributing $100,000 to the 1 Republican campaign fund. — = * — — AFTER the professions of undying friend - ship for our country given by the Chihua- hua delegation who visited St. Louis some time ago, itis painful to hear that the people of Chihuahua are attempting to intimidate the United States. It is announced that they propose to whip us without waiting for the Mexican Govern- menttohelpthem. The State of Chihua- hua could arm and equip as many as four hundred men on a year’s notice. 8 SS _ — AN immense sea serpent has just been seen near the breakwater at Rockport, Mass. The monster was seen by several i | reliable and truthful citizens who are ready to testify tothe fact of its appear- | ance. It should be noted that the vision of this terrible apparition of the sea is re- i ported immediately after the discovery 1 that the old Bay State is running a flour- fy} ishing porcelain-egg fattory intended to draw the teeth of the Prohibition ogre. The sea-serpent, like various other things, is most apt to appear when the surround- ings are favorable. n 1 THE Chicago people who sympathize. with the anarchists now on trial are de- cidedly unwise in holding big meetings to express their sympathy pending the trial of the prisoners. These murderous law- breakers base their hopes in a great meas- ure on the ability of their counsel to make N it appear that anarchy is a very harmless | affair; but the theory of harmlessness is inconsistent with the existence of a con- | siderable element of the Chicago popula- tion who are ready to uphold the anarch- ists and to lend them sympathy and en- couragement While on trial. These sym- pathizing meetings may result in height- ening the severity of the sentences that await the anarchist prisoners. ANTI-SALOON Republicans must be very scarce down South. In Hinds County, Mississippi, whiclf contains the capital of the State, it is estimated that two-thirds of the whites are for local Prohibition and that the blacks are almost solid in oppo- sition to it. This means that Prohibition in that section of the country gets almost its entire strength from the Democracy; wile in the North Atlantic States itdraws its recruits almost entirely from the Re- publicans. In the West the question is very much mixed on account of the Ger-- man Republicans who are standing up for — * — ss — — — — 4 . 8 . r * a J ink 1 75 nn i ade a, oo 8 a. 4 = a if ae? the saloons. With such a showing it is not easy to decide which is most distinotly the whisky party in a national sense. — — U!— — HASTY LEGISLATION It is announced that President CLEVE- LAND will not be present. in the Capitol with his Cabinet to hastily examine and sign the bills rushed through in the last hours of the session, and that on the con- trary he proposes to thoroughly examine every bill before approving it, if he thus keeps Congress in session all summer. This does not necessarily imply another avalanche of veto literature, but it plainly means that Mr. CLEVELAND intends to work the veto power for all it is worth, and to make the exercise of his legislative authority the principal feature of his ad- ministration. An inviting field of usefulness opens out before him in this direction if he can en- dure the labor of grappling with the de- tails and studying the bearings and con- nections of all the bills presented for his signature. Onlya few of the principal measures are really considered by the mass of Congressmen. The rest are passed upon the reports of committees or at the request of colleagues by members who have personally given the subject matter no thought or investigation. It is as scan- dalous as it is notorious that a very large proportion of the most important legis- lation is reserved to the last hours of the session, and that in crowding it through, while members are scattering, numerous bills that have not been considered at all are put through in the hurly-burly by one device or another. It was chiefly as a check upon this sort of legisiation that the veto power was entrusted to the President, and it will amount to no check atallif he is to attend during the last hours of the session and sign or veto as trusted advisers may recommend, without personally examin- ing the bills presented. Moreover, it is about time to teach Congress that three- fourths of the business of a seven months’ session cannot be properly done in the last week, and that members who have kept both houses in session so long can afford to remain as much longer as may be necessary to give the President a chance to discharge his legislative duty carefully and conscientiously. ——— i —- . — — 0 HIS OWN STATEMENT. „House of Representatives, Forty- “ninth Congress, First Session, Executive “Document, No. 360,” is an interesting pub- lication. Among other documents con- tained in it is No. 12: Statement of R. D. LANC#STER, Esq., made before WILLIAM H. BLIss, Esq., United States Attorney for the Eastern District of Missouri, on the 9th day of June, 1886, In relation to the charges preferred against said LANCASTER by Hon. JOHN M. GLOVER. Mr. LANCASTER’S statement is as fol- lows: Lot in block 1896, 40 feet on Compton avenue, I encumbered on May 16, 1876, by deed of trust to WX. J. LEwis as trustee for B. J. Van COURT, to secure note for $38,000. That note was deposited with Mr. TIERNAN and money was realized, which was used for the purpose of paying my personal obligations contracted before the judgment. This mortgaging his house three days before the court entered up judgment against him on the bond of one of the whisky thieves would have been a fraud on the Government, even if the mortgage had been used to borrow money on. But according to Mr. LANCASTER’sS own state- ment he put the mortgage in his office vault and kept it there until he began to think of applying for a federal office. a... 7, GOOD NEWS. The Committee of the Stockholders of the Provident Savings Bank after spend- ing two hours yesterday in looking over two-thirds of the bills receivable report that thez are all good, and if the remain- ing assets are anything near as good the depositors and other creditors will not lose a cent. This is good news for thousands of poor people who have been naturally anxious about their deposits. We quite agree with Mr. HAEUSSLER when he says: It as the greatest outrage I ever heard of „that the bank was closed.“ After clos- ing the bank it was an outrage almost as great to keep the depositors for two weeks in ignorance of facts which were made known by an examination of only two hours. 1 — IN announcing to the grand council of Tories that even an offer of the Premier- ship to HARTINGTON had failed: to seduce any Liberal Unionist into a coalition min- stry, Lord SALIsBURY said HaRTINGTON had promised to support him in all meas- ures concerning the integrity of the em- pire, and to ‘‘give any measure proposed ‘‘by the Government for the redress of Irish grievances most careful considera- „tion.“ Consequently, the new Premier was constrained to say that he would do his best to shape his Irish policy so as to secure the co-operation of HaRTINGTON, and would ‘‘forthwith pre- ‘‘pare a bill to grapple with the Irish diffi- ‘‘oulty in the direction of extended local “self-government.” It will be interesting to learn from this bill where local self- government ends and home rule begins. The Chamberlain Radicals will have to be consulted as well as HarTINGTON, and as they want no scheme of local self-govern- ment that is not extended alike to all sec- tions of the United Kingdom, we shall soon see how far Radical and Tory ideas dan harmonize in such labors of social re- organization and political reconstruction. ~ - — | nn. 1 Tun motive of the Royalist effort to make a frightful bugaboo out of Gen. BOULANGER, the Minister of War who took such a prominent part in the 2 sion of the Princes, is as obvious as N n * 1 om 2 „ De eee ee ee 1 e 1 2 8 5 Fie 2 2 en ee Peay oe 8 1 effort itself is transparent. Gen. Bov- LANGER has been a lucky man, a good and brave soldier, but no brilliant military exploits have made him the idol of the army, and the present Republican Gov- ernment is not constructed on a coup d'etat basis. It is built so as to leave no jutty or coign of vantage from which any one Minister can climb to a dicta- torship over the heads of his col- leagues. The readiness of France for war may be incidentally credited to his vigor- ous administration of her War Depart- ment, but in that he is only carrying out the almost unanimous will of the French people, and the fact that they insist on being ready for any opportunity which may offer to get even with Germany seems to be about all there isin the Charge that he is courting a war with Germany. The latter is not particularly alarmed by the actions of BOULANGER, knowing very well that France is not eager to assume the ag- gressive in another single-handed bout with Germany while BismMaRcK and VON MOLTKE live. ~~ SO — 1 — —_ EX-CONGRESSMAN JOHN FINERTY has an article in his paper, the Chicago Citizen, in which he contends that the United States should not enter into any treaty with England providing for the extra- dition of fugitive dynamiters who seek asylum and protection in this country. Of all fugitive criminals, those who use dynamite for the destruction of life or property should be surrendered with the least hesitation and the utmost cheerful- ness. Such men are the enemies of their species, and all governments should be leagued together for protection against them. Toclass their infamous crimes as „political offenses” is simply to juggle with the meaning of words. No civilized government can afford to grant the right of asylum to a fugitive dynamiter. — — — — Ir is the unmanageable tongue that lays up a stack of future explanations.

BROTHER SAMUEL JONES will never make a coup d’etat in the prohibition business as long as he cleaves unto the shirt-soiling quid. Now THAT Boston has learned how to make porcelain eggs and fill them with whisky it is fair to conclude that the old town has not lost its literary prestige. -— — Card-Piaying Girls. From the Philadelphia Ledger. There are so many ways in which girls can be amusing, entertaining and useful to them- selves and others that it seems a great pity thatany of them should resort to the com- mon vices of coarse men. That they do so in the evening entertainments of private and elegant homes and at the most fashionable summer resorts appearsto be beyond ques- tion. And that the results will appear in unlooked-for demoralizations in the future of what is called good society may be set down as among the certainties of naturallaw. Young ladies may not be ex- pressly susceptible to such prosy moral argu- ments, but they should not forget that the young men who gamble with them, and who appear to enjoy the fun, lose their respect for |: young ladies in the exact measure thatthe latter cease to be governed by fine womanly feelings and standards of character. Men may laugh at the shrewdness ofa girlina game of cards for stakes, but she is not the girl they will trust or honor or that they care tomarry. That is an argument to the quick, and may find its way home. The man who marries a gambling girl is already an incipient suitor in a divorce courts. Our Foreign Trade. From the Springfield Republican. The foreign trade of the United States for the year ending June 30, 1886, compares as fol- lows with that of the previous year: 1885-8. 1884-5. Exports of mdse nee 425.972 874.189.788 Exports of specie “ee #008 454.610 42,231,525 Total exports....... l 880.382 Imports of mdse. ....... ‘gos ont 585.521.

Our country stands fluctuations in its foreign trade which would ruin anyother. In 1881 our exports of merchandise alone exceeded $902,000 ,000, from which there has been a decline of one-fourth. In 1882 our imports of merchandise were $724, - 639,000, or nearly $90,000,000 greater than for the past year. The Poor Man’s Oyster. From a Paris Letter. The snail harvest has just begun in France. The poor man’s oyster’’ is so appreciated that Paris alone consumes about forty-nine or Burgundy. The finestspecimens are care- fully reared inan escargatoire, or snail park such as the poor Capuchin monks pianned in ding days at Colmar and Weinbach, when they no money to buy food, and so cuiti- vated snails.

According to the true Burguady method they are boiled in five or six waters, extracted from the shell, dressed with fresh butter and garlic, then re- placed in the shell, covered with parsley and bread-crumbs, and finally simmered in white wine. Striking for Beer. From the Philadelphia Times. The newest wrinkle in the rapidly expand- ing strike industry is a strike for beer. Twenty weavers employed by a New York ribbon manufacturer recently decided that they must be allowed a pint of beer each at half. past three o’clock or they would quit work, The manufacturer drew the line at the beer and the twenty weavers are doing noth- ing but drink deer fora few days while they test the powers of endurance of their anti- beer employer. One of the hardships of this strike for beer is that sixty or seventy other employes who either do not want beer or are willing to drink it out of working hours are compelled to remain idle till the beer drinkers go to work or new men are employed in their places. The St. Louis Questions. From the Kansas City Times. Of course every candidate will be ready to answer the leading St. Louis question in the affirmative, but that is only collateral to the main inquiries. Kansas City will propose to go to the root of the matter and find out whether the candidate for idgislative honors and confidence will stand in terror of the rail- road power or boldly grapple with it in ad- vance and give evidence of his courage and sincerity. Let him answer the St. Louis ques- tions, dut let him also make ready to answer Kansas City’s more comprehensive question with reference to the subjection of the agents and managers of the railroads of the State to acode of compreheusive laws defining their rights and presenting effectual penalties against fraud, extortion and oppression. Kindergarten Legislation. From the New York WORLD. Yesterday the Senate, either in cold blood or asa bit of midsummer burlesque, passed an amendment to the Bartholdi Inauguration grant which stipulates that not a penny of the $56,500 appropriated shall be used in the pur- chase of spirituous drinks. Some of the statesmen who voted for this kindergarten provision would be troubled to choke down a piece of chicken without calling for the wine card, much less take a lemonade part in the reception of a colossal gift fromthe great Republicof France. Congress should require each American citizen to appear in public with a nurse. Can a Court Do This? From the Chicago News. It is said in St. Louis that the Court is likely to approve the proposition of Defaulter Thomson's bondsmen to make good the en- tire amount of the defalcation provided all the evidence of Thomson’s ‘‘irregularities’’ is turned over to them. By what right does a Court enter into such an agreement? If Thom- son is guilty, as seems to be admitted, the law demands his punishment, and recognizes no Court’s right to permit him to buy immunity withthe money he has stolen. As for his bondsmen, they should be made to stand the loss anyway. That is what bondsmen are for. Food for Thought. From the Wall Street News. If Iwas to live my life over again, said an American defaulter as he cocked his feet in the office of a Montreal hotel, I'd be a lawyer instead of a cashier.’’ For why?’’ was asked. „Well, I embezzled $7,000 and am an outlaw and an outcast. My brother-in-law, whois a lawyer, ‘managed’ an estate so that it put him $48,000 ahead, and they have just elected him mayor ofthe town and got him to join the church. Iadvise young men to think of these things.’’ Lively Times in Portugal. Lisbon Letter to Paris Register. It is astonishing what a number of newspa- pers exist in Portugal, and more astonishing still to note the amount of liberty they enjoy. The republican papers say things of the royal family—well, all that the campaign papers said of Blaine und Cleveland is nothing as compared with the mud thrown at royalty here; but royalty is wise in little Portugal; it takes no earthly notice of anything the papers say. How to Protect Eastern Farmers. From the Boston Herald. 6 If New England farmers, who are taxed 46 per cent on imported necessities, are to get compensating adyantages from the home market which manufacturers have provided a 20 per cent tariff as they are under one of 46 per cent—they should have protection“ against Western grain and meat and Southern fruit and vegetables.

Emma is alady of color, and there were about a dozen other dusky females summoned as witnesses. The usual disregard foran oath was shown in the case, and the testimony was most conflicting. When the witnesses were toid to hold up their right hands to be sworn one of the women held hers down at her waist, bus turned up and transferred her handkerchief from her left to her right hand, to deaden the oath.

THE BROWNS MAKING A BAD RECORD IN THE EAST. Four Out of Eight Games Sacrificed to Eastern Clubs—The Degeneracy of the American Turf-Tommy Warren has & Pleasant Experience—Teemer’s Talk—The Wrestling Match—Wheel News and Dia- mond Chat. since the Brown Stocking Club have been away on their present trip throughout the Fast they huve been losing some games. Out of the eight they have played up to date, in- cluding that of yesterday, they have sacrificed four, two to Brooklyn, one to Baltimore and one to the Metropolitans. This sort of thing is not at all necessary and with the record they carry the champions cannot afford to keep it np. It is not only their duty to win ali the games possible for them to win, but it {s pain. fully plain that if they continue to allow them- tzelves to be defeated in half the number of games they play, they will lose the ground already gained and incur a danzerous risk of being overtaken and passed by Pittsburg, which club is playing an excellent game of ball. It is true that the Browns have a handsome lead and the ability to keep it, but their recent defeats leave them open to the suspicion that carelessness or in- differcnee is at the bottom of it. One ot these jour defeats was brought on, without a doubt, dy the neglect of Capt. Comiskey to change pitchers at a critical point in the game. Had he done so the balance of runs would have been in the Browns’ favor. Of course, there is no one, not even among their most enthus- lastie admirers, who expects that the Browns will win every game on tho schedule, but it is only natural to expect them to win a great majority of these games, The club certainly cannot afford to dally now as they could have done with impunity this time last year, as their majority tg not nearly so overwhelming as it was then. They can not afford to ‘‘throw on style, to use asiang expression; for the moment they begin to throw on style they also begin to throw off games. What they must do is to play ball, play with a vengeance and play all thetime. Four games outof cight is enough for all the ‘‘style’’ the Browns can afford to display, and they should uow begin to work inearnest. Play like men and change pitchers wien batted toe freely, Capt. Comiskey, and you will lose, say, but two instead of four out of every cight games you play. Base Ball Games. Association: At Baltimore— Baltimore, 4; Browns, 2.

Up to July 22 the American Association has made seventy-two home runs, while the League beat it by over 50 percent with 112. Hines, Richardson and Jones are the luckiest batsmen of the two alliances, each having made six. Following Hines and Richardson in theLeague is Thompson, with five, succeed- ed by Wood, Denny, Morrill, Williamson, Pfeffer, Brouthers, Anson and Wise, each with four. Melhinnon, Clarkson and Farrar have each bagged three, while Fogarty, Dor- gan, Bennett, Mulvey, Flynn, Dave and Jack Rowe, Knowles, Dunlap, Andrews, Whitney, Gore, Hanlon and Connor are contented each with two. Johnston, Bastian, Baker, McCor- mick, Esterbrook, Boyie,Flint, Burns, Fergu- son, McQuery. Dalrymple, Gladman, McGuire, Sam Crane, Ward, Conway, Cahill, Bassett, O'Rourke, Keefe, White, Sutton, Hackett, Kelly and Daily (Philadelphia) have each one to their credit The Chicagos are the champion ‘‘homers,’’ bagging twenty-four. Detroit follows with twenty-three, Philadelphia with seventeen, St. Louis with twelve, Washington and Bos- ton with ten each, and New York and Kansas City bring up the rear with eight each. A feature in the League is that thirty-four or over thirty-two per cent of the Ilz were made onthe Chicago grounds. The home team se- cured nineteen of these, while the visitors got fifteen, thus showing thatthe Chicagos are just a triflo more expert than the visitors in getting them over the garden wall. Gossip of the Game. Ex-Manager Gifford has made application for a position on the League staff. There is said to be aclique in the Philadel- phia club working against Titcomb. The Maroons play in New York to-day, 1 and Friday. They go from there to oston. Finley, the New York catcher, has a red striped hat, without which he wouid refuse to go into the field. Detroit plays in Washington to-day, to-mor- row and Friday. They then tackle the Phillies on Al Reach’s territory. Manager Watkins of the Detroit Club still insists that the three last games with the Chi- cago Club were stolen from him. Three passed balls was Bushong’s record esterday in the Baltimore game. This looks 2 for the generally brilliant game the doctor plays. Each one of the League umpires resigned after umpiring a single game at Kansas City. The resignations were withdrawn at the re- quest of President Young. George McGinnis is pitching a good, steady efor Barnie. All that Mac wants is pruc- tice and everybody who know him knows that with it he can do fine work. Boyle, the Maroons’ pitcher, will not be able.to join his club until the Philadeiphia series takes place next week. Boyle lives in Philadelphia and he is a favorite there. Twitchcli of the Detro ts writes that he will be abie to do some work by the time the club oes East. He says the soreness has entirely eft his arm and that it is growing stronger every day. Wo can say to the American Association that if it will iurnish usa place in its midst well hold it, and give the Association one of its strongest members next season.—([Cleveland. Piaindealer.

Is the American turf degenerating? says an Eastern writer. This is a serious question. That it is being used almost entirely asa gambling scheme is pretty certain. Racing associations have been blamed for not giving a greater number of long-distance races. There is no use giving them, however, as they do not fill. A four-mile heat race like the reat Long Island Stakes always attracted a big crowd and was the feature of the winding- up day ut Sheepshead Bay. It was one of the big stakes. Aftera year ortwo it was appar- ent that owners would not enter good horses in it. They would not enter their best horses for it, simply because they would not subject them such a sévere test. The prejudice of owners against enter- ing their horses in long-distance races is growing greater and greater every year. ‘They say that they would ratherrun their horses a dozen dashes of three-quarters of a mile than one long race. The opportunities afforded of running their horses day after day are the cause ofthis. Many of the 3-year-old stakes are 1142 miles and some over it: yet just as sure as thore is an over-night handicap at anything over 1% miles ittailsto fill. This state of af- fairs has been demonstrated at Monmouth Park several times this season. The fourth race there on Saturday was originally intended to be a handicap at 1 3-16 miles, but it had to be changed to a handicap at 1% miles to suit the owners of race-horses. Though many lovers and foliowers of the turf have gone to Sar:- toga, so many are the followers of the sport of kings’’ that they are not missed from Mon- mouth. Fifteen bookmakers have changed their base of operations from Monmouth Park to Saratoga, but so many of them remain that those who have gone are not missed either. James E. Kelly, one of the old stand-bys of the pencilers’ fraternity who lost money in the beginning of the season, as he said, has temporarily quit the business and gone to Europe. Despite his absence he is still inter- ested in books. He has many trusted em- ployes. They have gone to Saratoga and have charge of the mutuals there. Chicago Races.

Teemer arrived in Boston Thursday night at ll o’clock and turned his face homewards the next evening. Hecamein quest of his new boat and nothing else. He scemed to want to avoid recognition and acted in the most nervous manuer while upon the street. What time he had Friday was spent by him at Rud- dock’s, where his new boat was being rigged, and he became so wrapped up in the craft that he did nothing else all day but lift it from the forms and offer to wager that, rigged, the crait would not weigh twenty-nine pounds and was the finest boat thatthe builder ever turned out. At intervals he would break out into conver- sation about the scullers, and when asked by a Boston reporter if he really thought himself the superior of Gaudaur in a shell he re- — „Why. yes, I can beat him; I know Ian. True, he has beat me recently everywhere and every place ne has met me; but my condition not being the best I was handicapped. You can rest assured, however, that in condition 1 ain more than his match, and can stay at the bard work longer than he. I know Jake thor- oughly; know his faults and discover easily when he is feeling them inarace. Heisa good one, however.’’ Ruddock, who was setting the arm of an outrigger upon the boat, looked up and re- marked: ‘‘Yes, Jakeis agood one, and now that you speak of his faults, John, I remem- ber that Hanlan once said to me: ‘Ruddock, there is a good man just coming outin Can- ada, who is going to make a great man witha pair of sculls; but I think he will lack heart and will be easily browbeaten out of a victory. Is that one of Jake's faults?“ Teemer changed the conversation to his En- glish trip just then, and the athletic * ACQUIREMENTS OF BEACH, whieh, according to all reports, are many. Teemer ejaculated: ‘Well, Beach may be a great pugilist, a su- perior wrestler, a great jumper and all else, but lam going to try and sec what I can do with him. Iam going to row him all the way, and between Ross and myseli I think he can be ‘razooed’ on the water.’’ „Ross is going to get there if itis in him,“ quietly remarked Ruddock. „Well, he will find me on his collar, you can bet, jocosely replied Teemer. Beach—Gaudaur. Fifteen hundred dollars were forwarded to- day to J. E. Rankin of Boston, as additional stake money in the race between Beach and Gaudaur for the championship of the world. As there are already $600 in Mr. Rankin’s hands, this additional sum will leave a bal- ance of but $500 ofthe American side of the atake money to be added. Gaudaur wasintown to-day, and is in good health and finerowingtrim. Speaking of the sweepstakes in which Teemer and Ross are entered and which will be rowed in Engiand, August 30, Gaudaur said the result will have no effect upon the championship at all, the race being merely for the stakes. Therefore, all reference tothe championship in connec- tion with the English sweepstakes is entirely wrong. No Danger for the Galatea. NEW YORK, July 28.—Mr. J. Beaver Webb, designer of the cutters Genesta and Galatea, arrived here yesterday from Liverpool. He strolled into the rooms of the New York Yacht Club last evening and was warmly greeted by the yachtsmen there. He expressed no surprise over the non-arrival of the Galatea, on which are Lieut. Henn and his wife. He said that the Atlantic had been unusually stormy this month, and the Galatea could not therefore be reasonably expected to make a quick passage. Her owner had said before starting from En- gland that he would take his time in crossing. -_ — — QUEENSBERRY RULES DIDN’T GOVERN. The Champion Featherweight Treated to a Bath in the Lake. Tommy Warren the champion featherweight had an interesting experience the other day at Minneapolis. According to the Tribune War- ren was training at the Lakeview House, Lake Calhoun, where his overfiow of animal spirits is keptin subjection by rattling settos with the football, of which it is not too much to say that he ‘‘knocks the very stuffing out of.

David Drummond, a Boston colored rider, wus McCurdy'’s chief pacemaker in his re- cent 280- mile ride. The projected race between Howell and Wood, the English professionals, has deen declared off, because of a disagreement re- garding the track. A Boston paper says it is underatood Munger has retired from the racing arena for the rest of the season. Munger has been very ‘‘sick’’ since Hollingsworth’s ride. McCurdy now rides the same wheel as Weber and is George's rival for long distance records, There is said to be no truth in the statement that McCurdy’s company will send him to England to break the John O’Groats-Land’s End record. Furnivall, the English champion, is suffer- ing from synovitis in both knees, which dis- ease is inflammation of the synovial mem- brane, which contains the synovial fluid which oils the knee joints. When it first came on he refused to abide by its warning, and entering a race, greatly aggravated the trouble, putting himself in a condition which may resuit in his being crippled for life.

An Acciddéht Leads to the Discovery of the Shortage — Parning a small Salary, but Investing Largely in Real Estate—Pier- s0n’s Accomplice Confesses. By Telegraph to the Post-DISPAtcn. PHILADELPHIA, July 28.—The American Bap- tist Publishing Society will meet to-day and will make formal announcement of the em- bezziement of many thousands of dollars of the. Society’s funds by William P. Pierson, head book-keeper. Pierson has been con- nected with the Society for more than twenty years, having begun as a boy and worked bim- self up. His books were never audited — in @ merely perfunctury manner, as the slight- est suspicion was never fastened upon him. In May last, while driving in the park, he was thrown from his carriage and broke a leg. As the end of the fiscal year was approaching the Board decided to hire an expert accountant to make the annual financial statement. John Heins was em- ployed todothe work. He had been at the books only halt an hour when he reported to the treasurer that something was wrong with the accounts. He was told that it was impos- sible. Mr. Heins went to work again and ina few days reported that $5,000 was missing and could not be accounted for except on the score of embezzlement. He was told to say nothing, finish his work and make a report. This was done some days ago, and the total deficit footed up $30,000. THIS CAUSED GREAT CONSTERNATION in the Board, and a thorough investigation was ordered. The assistant book-keeper, who had been kept under surveillance since the deficit was first discovered, was brought before the Board, and alter trying to conceal his guilt finally admitted that he was an ac- complice of Pierson, and offered to tell the whole story, refund whut money he had, show where Pierson’s money was invested and ex- plain all details if he would not be prosecuted. The Board accepted his offer. Pierson, who was in bed, was easily induced to give up what property he had, which, with what the as- sistant turned over, amounted to about $5,000, leaving a net deficit of $25,000. Pierson was arrested on a warrant on Monday, but as he was unable to leave tne house an ofticer took 1 of the premises. The affair caused a big sensation, as Pierson was well known anda highly respected member of the Baptist Church. A member‘of the Board said yesterday there was not the slightest ex- cuse for his stealing. He had always received a good salary, and, 80 far us known, had never been in any trouble where so large a sum of money was necessary. Pierson is about 35 years old and has a second wife and one daughter, the child of his first wife. He was a very high liver. His house was fur nished elegantly, he entertained handsomely, gave liberally and was looked upon us aman of considerabie means. He owned a horse and carriuge and wasinthe habit of driving out nearly every evening. Mr. Pierson was seen at his residence late this evening. He was lying in bed and looked very emaciated. HE WAS MUCH EXCITED. He said: ‘‘I have done many injudicious things, but never a dishonest one. I was working like a slave fora small salary, and about four years ago I began to took around for some means of increasing myincome. I conciuded to go into stock speculation, and got some good points from a broker which en- abled me to make some money. Then my as- sistantand 1 went in together. Sometimes we made and often we lost. When we were ahead we would invest in real estate, but when we ran behind we would always draw on the association to make good our margins. About May Il we counted upand found we would have enough to pay off all due the so- ciety by the middie of the month, provided a few of our latest ventures proved successful. Gn the 7th of MayI was hurt and in conse- quence of not being able to attend to business our investments were not successful. I have turned over to the society cash, real estate and securities which I value at about $17,000. The total deficit can’t be over $30,000. Ido not think it is much over $20,000. I have restored more than my half, but as we were partners 1 consider myself liable for the whole. I have even given the furniture of this house and own nothing but my clothes. I don’t know what my accomplice has done except that he ap- pears to be trying to Make a scapegoat of me. District Attorney Graham will take charge of the prosecution.

NEW BEDFORD, Mass., July 28.—Sergt. D. L. Brainard of the Greely arctic expedition ar- rived at Fair Haven yesterday from Yonkers, N. T., on a visit to William Bradford, artist. On being shown the statements made by Maurice Connell in the New York and San Francisco newspapers in relation to the inter- nal history of the expedition, he spoke of them as being untruthful and, in his opinion, inspired by unworthy motives. Brainard said that Connell was almost a dead weight in the expedition and deserves no public. honor. In the terrible final scenes of destitution he was one of the strongest men i but did little ot the work of gathering what little food the country afforded. He was pugnacious, irascible and ambitious, but of no particular ability. The Sergeant said that there were two or three 2 he would like to speak of specially. zonnell says there is a deal of doubt whether the party consisting of Lockwood, Brainard and the Esquimaux attained so high a latitude as they retend, that they were inexpertin the use of the sex- tant and other instruments. Brainard said they were thoroughly familiar with their instru- ments, and that their notes were marked up after their return to the main party by Israel, astronomer of the expedition, who made out that they had gone to latitude 83 deg. 24 min., about four miles further north than the 3 est latitude attained before by Markham. The Royal Geographical Society of London, which is chary of its favors to foreigners, has awarded to Brainard the back grant for 1886 in the shape of an elegant gold watch SUPERBLY INSCRIBED. Another matter that he wished to notice was the charge of cannibalism made by Oonnell; and ~ wow: 4 that Brainard, who was the fish- erman of the expedition, had use human food for bait. Brainard said that there was no cannibalism to his knowledge. He knew noth- ing of the piece of meat which was found tied toa string and 2 Connell says Greely called human flesh. He says the proba@hjlity is, however, that it was beur meat and “had been purloined by Henry from the general stores, While lying idle in his sleeping bag at Cape Sabine, Connell gratefully accepted shrimps which Brainard brought to him and which were the means of saving bis life. One other point included in Connell’s charges was brought to Brainard’s attention, namely thet there had been partiality in discipline, and 1 shot by Greely for f like hae ps d 0 nature w condoned. — interview with C= nell, printed in a Boston paper soon after the return, is a sufficient refutation of the charge, in which Connell said that Henry was one of the most inveterate thieves the Lord ever — on earth, and in his case justice was dy. Brainard said that for some time be- fore Henry was shot was a clamor for his life. for his thieving propensity was in the way of the life of every one else, and Connell Sad he about be furned over” to, fhe e sho ed 9 . Time being precious with Brainard the inter- view here ended. SHE CAME TO HIM. Burnes and Dockery Renominated—New Militia Company.

Tilden on Coast Defenses —The Adjournment Question—News from the National Capital. By Telegraph to the PosT-DIsPaTcH. WASHINGTON, D. O., July 28.—The following ig the report of the Senate Post-office Commit- tee on the nomination of Postmaster Hyde, sonfirmed on Monday last: ‘The records and upplied to the committee on this case by * Polemaster-General disclose a very resolute purpose on the part of the artisan adherents of the present Admin - stration of the Executive artment of the Governinent, to effect a change in the office of Postmaster at St. Louis. pplications and jm portunities as to this were so frequent and persistent that a commission of Post- oe In- spectors was organized and instructed to inspect the affairs and condition of the office. The commission entered upon the work early in July, 1885, and forwarded 2 report to the Department on the 22d. The committee has examined the os gen made, and is impressed most favorably re- specting the efficiency of the service in the St. Louis Post-office, and it may be well doubted whether any first-class office in the country could be subjected to the ordeal applied to hstand it with as little that offl0e, and ett did. The seryice esulting damage as it ay eho office during Mr. Wells administration has been efficient. His ac- counts are correct, the only faults found with him by the commission, as the members thereof admit and state in their report, being, ‘Those which appeal to the noblest senti- ments of manhood.’ No one can read the report of the commission without coming to the conclusion that Wells is a man ot a high and resolute purpose to do right, and to so conduct the affairs of his office as to secure satisfactory service to the pub- lic, and to maintain absolute integrity in his accounts as a public officer. ne the case in its entirety it does not admit of any doubtthatthe suspension of Wells was the result ot partisan pressure. He is a Repub - lican. His office is wanted by a Democrat. He is suspended and a Democrat Lore > gage sha the place. If Hyde, the nominee, succeed in giving to the. pablic as effective service, and to the Government as correct and faithful an accounting of the revenues of the office as Wells did, he may indeed congratulate himself. The evi- dence offered in the case indicates that the nominee is afit and competent man to dis- charge the duties of the office and the com mittee, therefore, report his nomination to the Senate with a recommendation that it be confirmed.’’ Mr. Glover and the Hancock Claim. By Telegraph to the PosT-DISPATCH, WASHINGTON, D. C., July 28.—The Post, this morning, says: ‘‘Representative Glover of Missouri, whose family has long been inti- mately connected with Gen. Hancock’s, has learned that the War Department has never done the proper thing by the General in regard to the ex- penses incurred by him in entertaining the French officers who, as the guests of this Government, participated in the centennial celebration in 1881 of the surrender of the Eu- glish to the combined French and American forces at Yorktown, under direct instructions from the op gg of War. Mr. Glover says Gen. ancock entertaincd these guests. He paid out his own money and has never been reimbursed by the War Department. He was paid a trifle, just enough to acknowledge the legitimacy of the claim, but the bulk of what the General ex- pended, about $2,500, has never been repaid. These facts have recently been ressed upon Representative Glover by some t. Louis friends, who are also well acquainted with the Hancock family. Gen. Hancock left no wealth behind him, and Mr. Glover wants this money paid to the widow. Instead of introducing in Congress a bili of re- lief, which is a shape he did not wish to make the case assume, he drafted a resolution asking for the appoint- mentofa special committee of three to in- uire into the matter and report back to the ouse upon the claim. The resolution is now under consideration by the Committee on and a committee will proba- biy be appointed by the Speaker before Congress adjourns. Representative Glover’s father, who was a distinguished law- yer, and Gen. Hancock were close personal friends for many years. It was asserted, and is still believed by many, that Mr. Glover, Sr., wrote the celebrated letter which Hancock, during the reconstruction period, ad dressed to Pease, the carpet-bag Gov- ernor of Texas, advocating the supremucy of civillaw over the military. But the asser- tion was false and the belief is wrong. ‘‘I know,’’ said Representative Glover, to a POST- DISPATCH reporter, yesterday, that my father did not write that letter. He told meso himself, and in the same wayI know thatthe letter was written by Gen. Hancock himseif.’’ When Representative Glover’s father died Gen. Hancock was one of the pall- bearers, Mrs. Cleveland’s Captivating Smile. WASHINGTON, D. C., July 28.—The Hon. Frank Lawler of Chicago had the honor of an interview with the bride of the President yes- terday. Miss Annie McGetrich, aschool teacher of Chicago is here on a vacation trip and with John W. Reilley, a merchant of the same city, called with Mr. Lawler at the White House to pay their respects to the President. They expressed a desire to meet Mrs. Cleve- land, and the President said she would be glad to receive them. He sent a messenger to escort Mr. Lawler and his friends tothe Blue Room, where they had waited but a few moments when Mrs. Cleveland came down wearing a morning dress and a smile that captivated the hearts of her visitors. She ted them with great cordiality and thanked them for calling. She said that she had met very few members of Congress, but would ve glad to see them all, and considered it a great compliment when they left their laborious duties to pay her a visit. Mr. Lawier took occasion upon this, his first opportunity, to execute acommission that was entrusted to him a few weeks 0. After the National Association of Plumbers held their annual meeting at Deer Park, they came to Washing- ton ina body and held a banquet there. At that time hey passed some resolutions con- gratulating Mr. and Mrs. Cleveland upon their marriage and commissioned Mr. Lawler to present their compliments to the bride and groom, which he did yesterday in a graceful manner, Removed for Political Reasons. By Telegraph to the Posr-Disraron. WASHINGTON, D. C., July 28.—The Senate has made public the reportsin the cases of Wm. Buckner, Postmaster at Brownsville, and Henry Luce, Postmaster at Higginsville, owe confirmed on Monday. In the case of Buckner, the committee says that thé papers show that in May, 1885, petitions asking the appointment ‘of Buekner, dut also making charges against Laughlin, the resent incumbent, were presented. In December, an inspector who examined the office reported that Laughlin seemed to be a very nice gentioman. and as such the patrons of the office entertained a very high opinion of him. Laughlin, in a letter to the com- mittee, Bays: I am a Republican, and if ro- moved because am one, I have no objection.’’ The committee thinks Laughlin's Republicanism is the cause of hie removal. In the case of Luce, the committee says that many more citizens protested against the re- moval ot Endly, the former incumbent. than asked for the appointment of Luce. This being the case, says the report, “the com- Tua can but re ne suspension of Mr ations exclusively. ’’ e The Legislative Appropriation Bill. WASHINGTON, D.

Tilden on Coast Defenses. NEW Tonk, July 28.—The Sun’s Washington correspondent says: Senator Hawley has re- ceived from Samuel J. Tilden an earnest and patriotic letter, urging upon Congress the im- perative duty of taking a broad and states- maniike view of the question of coast de- fenses. Itis Gen. Hawiey’s intention to read this letter in a speech that he will make when the fortifications bill comes up, and he will not make it public until it has been read in the Senate. Gen. Hawley,who is himself a strong and intelligent advocate of a system of coast defenses, says Mr. Tilden’s wisdom, patriotism and foresight in this mat- ter are worthy of his reputation as a states- man,and he thinks Congress will makea grave mistake if it disregards his views. The Senate, which will doubtless pass the bill containing Gen. Hawley’s amendment 1 tor an appropriation of over $6,000,000, disposition to be small and niggardly in this matter, and it is difficult to say what the auction of that body will be on the Senate amendment. Much will depend onthe sort of conference committee selected by Speaker Carlisie. THE DEAD LEADER. Action by the New York Aldermen on the Death of H. O. Thompson.

The Brickmakers and Bosses of Verplanck at Loggerheads. By Telegraph to the PosT-DISPATCH. New York, July 28.—A lock-out in eleven of the thirteen brickyards at Verplanck yester- day morning put nearly 900 hands out of work. This meant that the slender income of that community has fallen off $1,000 and will on- tinue to be withheld at that rate per day until a better understanding shall be reached than has lately prevailed between the bosses and the ioe n the surface the trouble has come from an attempt to secure and maintain better wages. The men saf that is the main trouble, but that other reasons helped to bring on the resent situation. As the result of long agi- ation tne bosses and men made an agreement on April 27 by which the making ot 21,000 brick was to constitute a day's work. The men were to quit work at 4 o’clock Saturdays. They were to receive their wages every two weeks and to spend them to suit themselves and where they pleased, and they were to be paid an advance of 12½ cents per day. As the bosses own stores there on which they were in the habit ot giving store orders for goods to the men in lieu of wages, and as a day's work before that had meant all that every one could do between dawn and dark, the agreement promised re- lief. to the men in the way of labor and the happy prospect to those of them who ran the brick-machines of making as much as $l2a° week. Other workmen, less skilled, and boys earned from 60 cents to $1.50 a day. With the rivilege of trading where they liked many of be hands ABANDONED THE STORES OF THE BOSSES. They began talking of starting for themselves a co-operative store. The men say that the shrinkage of profits from this. cause alone made the bosses regret their agreement almost as soon as it was signed. At amy rate, in about a month wages begun to slide backward in some of the yards. The men objected and wanted to arbitrate. pleaded by the bosses. talked of negotiation, Bad business was For a while both sides but as the prospect Consequently in a few to restore it. Verplanck brought days the mail to to the eleven haggling bosses’ circulars signed by some of the largest users of brisk and builders in this section, repre- senting the bulk oftheir custom. Here is the form of the circular: ‘‘Having received in- formation from a reliable source that the — signed by the brick manutacturers Verplanck and their employes is not being hived up-to by the said manufacturers, and as we want no trouble with our employes, we hereby give you timely notice if the matter is not at once settled with the employes’ brick manufactured by you cannot be used by us.’’ This was a bomb in the camp of the bosses. They had learned that danger was to be feared also from another source. The men had been arranging with the Boatman’s Union to re- fuse to load or unload brick for any of the bosses. Matters had thus reached such & pass that it became a question whether the bosses or the men were running the business, and the bosses decided to put it toatest by a decisive step. Yesterduy’s lock-out was the result. F. F. Donavan of the State Board of Arbitra- tion will go to Verplanck to-day to see what can be done toward an adjustment. Extra Sparkling Beer.

NEW YORK, July 28.—‘‘Stairs,’’ said a young man, plaintively, ‘‘play a very conspicuous and decidedly unpleasant role in my daily life. Itry my hardest to regard them with philosophy, and tell myself that in the process of time science will probably have done away withthem. I am obliged to remember that by that time, however, I shall be where they will trouble me no more. Nov, the young man said, let me show you how I was troubled by stuirs yesterday. live on a to flat, to reach which 1 must mount 74 steps. Well, to begin, when 1 left home 1 descended tllese 74 steps and ascended 34 at the Elevated Station, where 1 take a down-town train. That makes 108 steps. When Jreached my destination I descended 36 steps, that makes 144. I reached my office, where I had to ascend 8 steps; that makes 227. Ire- mained in office till lunch time, whenI de- scended the 83 steps; preparatory to return to my home for my lunch; total steps, 310. To my Elevated Stution again Iwent and added 86 steps to the 310, making it 346. At the home station the total was increased by 84, that Was 880. The 74 steps of my flat before lunch and in the descent after lunch made 454. Elevated Station again up-town 34 and down-town 36 made 524. ‘Then up to my omce again became 607. I returned, remained in my office until evening, thank goodness, and then started home, By the time I had reached my flat my sum-total of steps was 834. I did not stay home all the evening, but went out with my wife. We visited some friends who lived further up town than we did, and of course had to patronize the inevitable elevated. The two elevated trips, with the four lot of stairs andthe ascent and descent from my flat, made the sum total of steps up and down-town stairs by the time I went to bed 1,154; that is to say, from 9 a. m. to 10 P. m.—cleven hours—I tackied 1,154 steps over one hundred perhour.

But there comes atime when he wakens from a dream to the realization that his roses have thorns. He must prepare for the mar- riage ceremony. He prepares. It is a costly and nerve- wearing process. And in the midst of it all comes the license. He realizes that heretofore he has had an easy time The license matter does not sug- gest itself to him until the eleventh hour and the fifty- filth winute.

He calls on Fred. ‘‘Kasiest thing in the world, my boy, says Fred. ‘‘Go down tothe Recorder’s office at the Court-house. Tell Farrelly you're a friend of mine. He ll put you through. And George goes.

He finds the office and waits with palpitating heart while a line of people talk to abiack-bearded man standing behind a wire screen. George wonders if all these folk are in his fix. Surely not; there are boys and men in the line. Old men, so old the world has forgotten they were born; young men in the first flush of downy cheeks. At last George gets his turn at the screen.

Financial grisea don’t affect this busi- ness as far as I can see. When folks come around to getting married they get married. That is all there is in it. Campaigns don’t affect us. There may be rans for special days, but these do not affect the average for that month. More licenses ate issued in Oc- tober than in any two months in the year. Spring and fall are our great seasons. In Jan- uary, February and part of March there is no business. Thenin April and May itis pretty lively. June is a fair month. July and August are very bad. September is fair and October ood, then 8 at all in November and ecember. That is the year. Our smallest month is below 200, and we have gone as high as 600 in one month. About ages? Well, Inever kept a record, but I remember one couple who were over 80, and we have had several over 70. People don’t seem to ever be too old to get married. The youngest couple I eyer issued ardly 14 andſthe boy was 16. sides consented so we issued the license. Of course it was a mar- riage to hide the poor girl’s shame. Since I have been at this desk I have issued a number of licenses for prospective brides as young as 15, the parents always consenting. The average age of the men is ver 22; few of them apply for licenses who are under 21. ladies’ ages are, on an average, 20 years, but the application for licenses where the pros- pective brides are under age are frequent. It to, the girl was The parents on both He must vrepare. does not seem difficult to get parents’ consent, for it is very seldom that a license is not granted to applicants. Sometimes we are warned by parents not to issue licenses to their children if they apply. Ifthe children are un- der age we are bound to take notice of the warning; if they are not, the license issues in spite of it.“ And all this time George is waiting. He has come to feel that there is no happiness in this effete civilization for him. In some Western wild, accoutered in buckskin trousers anda rifle, he could make a dash at the wigwam of his beloved, shake her forth in the unconventional manner of the red man, and live happily ever afterward, free from ceremonial mother-in-law. Buthe braces up to the necessities of St. Louis customs and attacks the glaring D,Aubigfion. ‘*‘l want a warriave license, sir.“ „Where's the lady?“ Oh, it isn’t necessary for her to come, is ie?“ How old is she?“ „„ I—really—I-—I don’t know. „Is she over 187“ queries the clerk witha cynical simile. guess she is.“ Dont you know?“ a „Well, Iguess you'd better find out.

New Tonk, July 28.—Another chapter was opened yesterday in the controversy between the Knights of Laborand Progressive Cigar- makers’ Union, No.1, of this city, and the United Manufacturers’ Association bas been made a party to the’ struggle. Yesterday morning, about II o’clock, a committee repre- sebting District Assembly No. 49 of the Knights ot Labor called at the office of ops Bros. and requested permission to speak to the hands in their employ. Mr. Jos. Oppenheim and Superintendent Frank accompanied the com- mittee to the work-room, and the Master Workman addressed the employes as follows: „All persons in the employ of this firm who are and intend to remain members of the Knights of Labor can continue work. Ali others must seek employment eisewhere. The firm authorizes this statement. If one can imagine a thunderbolt fall from a clear sky in a crowd of 60 men and women, the scene that followed the announcement can be realized. Ail the bunch makers and rollers left their desks and swarmed down-stairs. An offer by the firmto the employes to hold a meeting in the shop was repelled. The excit- ed crowd proceeded to Diehl's Hall, and as soon as quietness could be restored the meet- ing was called to order. Then followed pus sionate speeches, a German woman deciaring that she did not intend to be degraded to serfdom by any party, and as the Progressive Union had supported her when she was poor and sick she intended to remain with it. A committee was appointed and THE FOLLOWING RESOLUTION ADOPTED: Resolved, We, the hands of of Levy Bros’. shop. as American citizens deny the right of aay order to dic- tate to us in any manner what we shall do or not do, and especially deny the right of the Knights of Labor to so dictate to us; be it further . Resolved, That we will not return to our work until the above is acknowledged by the firm. A committee consisting of four men and two women waited onthe firm with the resolu- tions, and after a discussion they were asked to sien their names to the document, which they did. Levy Bros. promised to answer this morning at 8’clock, the factory. being closed in the meantime. The committee returned to the meeting and reported the result of their visit. One of the members said that he had found out that the notice they had received was a regular conspiracy between the employers and the Knights of Labor to make war on the two Cigar-makers’ Unions. ram in| the meeting delegates from other shops UNANIMOUSLY arrived and assured those present that when their turn came they would stand b = 8 Union.

BATLTINORE, July 28.—Mr. E. H. Williams, a wealthy young attorney of this city, who figured so conspicuously in the courts some time ago as plaintiff in a suit against his father, G. H. Williams, is again before the public. By the will of his grandfather, J. 8. Gittings, a wealthy banker, Williams was left several hundred thousand dollars. Shortly after the acquisition of this wealth he became engaged to Miss Hazlett, daughter of a prominent resident. His father opposed his marriage and induced the young man to flee to Europe, after, however, having executed a deed of trustin favor of hig father, reserving for himseif only $2,000 per annum. After an absence of several moaths in Europe he returned, and he and Miss Hazlett were married. Having outwitted the old gentleman thus far, the young couple next addressed themselves to breaking up the deed of trust. Dis- tinguished counsel were engaged and the deed was attacked vigorously. The fight was pro- tracted and the case went to the Court of Ap- peals finally, and was there determined in favor of young Williams. Having defeated Williams, pere, in his efforts to absorb the oung man’s estate, the wife thought the 1usband should make asettliement for her and ‘‘baby’s’’ benefit, and so persuaded her husband. Fora while the trustee paid a por- tion of the income to the husband and 4 por- tion to the wife. Butfinallythe wife claimed all and the trustee refused to give the husband any and boldly referred to the deed of trust for his authority. The husband examined the deed and found that he had signed away ALL CONTROL OF HIS PROPERTY and had cast himself entirely on the cold dis- cretion of a corporation as to whether he should live or starve. He had covenanted to find no fauit with said corporation, no matter whether it permitted him to starve slowly or at once. Upon application to the corporation for an allowance, he was coolly referred to his wife to whom the trustee was paying the entire income. The wife has thus practically become mistress of her husband’s estate. He now comes into court by W. M. Buzy, his attorney, und files a bill of complaint alleging that he has been defrauded by his wife and asking that said deed be set aside and that he be re- stored to his former rights. Mr. Williams is now at Lake Shore Beach, N. J., with his wife and child and is having as goodatime asaman can have whose wife holds the purse strings and, as he alleges, will not even allow him enough money to get shaved. The present bill filed by young Will- iams alleges that the income from his estate is about $15,000 per annum. The deed of trust provides that if the plaintiff dies, leaving no children, the whole estate shall go to the wife while living, and if dead, to her heirs. The bill then charges that the execution of said deed was procured from him by fraud and de- ceit of bis wife and the control of his estate for her own benefit, and to thatend she had the deed of trustingeniously framed and so en- culbered as to be unintelligible. The famlly of which Williams is a member is one of the oldest and most influential in this city. FIFTY FEET GARDEN HOSE, with nozzie and couplings complete, for $4; including reel, $4.75.

IIlinois Railroads Have No Right to Sell Coal in Public Market. SPRINGFIELD, III., July 25.—The Railroad and Ware-house Commission has decided in the case of Alex. Helm against the lilinois, In- diana & Iowa Road that a railroad company has no right to sell coal. The third specifica. tion of the complaint charged that the rai}. road company gave to a Kankakee dealer named Schaefer a lower rate on coal trang. N from Streator than it gave to other Kan. akee dealers. The road replied that it male no discrimination in rates between dealers, but that it sold coal bought at Streator to some Kankakee dealers at a lower price than to others because of the quantity they pur. chase.
