THE YARDS COVER A SPACE long. A large brick hotel is the initial building toward East St. Louis, and on the northern side the build- ings are bounded by the Nationgl Stock Exchange 1 two- story brick building fronting south on Avenue F. The barn (No. 2) in which the fire originated is about one hundred feet southwest of the Exchange. It was a frame building well put up and convenient to use to which it was put. This morning it con- tained 1.000 tons of hay, which was not being drawn upon to supply the yards, but had been stored for future use. No one had occasion to enter the building at all. To the west of it rune a line of hog sheds, and to the south was the carpenter shop as an introduction to the cattie shed. C. C. Thresher, the carpenter, Otto Zimmerman, and John Thornton were eating their dinner in ashed at the end of the hog sheds, WHEN THE FIRE BROKE OCT. Thornton, who ie a boy about 16 years, saw the blaze first. and attention to it. he fre.“ he says, „ren I first saw it. was s mull and was burning in the southwest corner of barn near the groung. I don’t know what caused it; we could see nothing of its origin. When 1 happened to look that way I saw the fire burniug, and weran outtostopit. We got some water and threw it on, but the fire grew, and so we bad to give an Alarm. The progress of the fire was most rapid. The flames spread in 4 few minutes nll over the barn, caught the hav inside and now and then little explosions would be heard as the air forced open the bales, and the planks from failing planks rose in clouds, and tie wind, that was biowing at a rate of possibly six miles an hour, lifted these trifies of confia- gration gently to set them on burn No. I, situate about 200 feet to the east of the origin of the fire. This barn contained about 400 tons of hay and was in constant use, all the supplies being drawn from it. At the same time the sheds lying east of Avenue D began to blaze and the flames lifted themselves over the interveu ing space of twenty-five feet that D intervened to catch the hog sbeds. the barns, either No. 1 or No. 2, and the cattle sheds—light, fragile, resinous and inflammubie—were beyond hope. But the stream was turned upon the hog sheds with good effect. The employes ofthe company looked down from tue feed- ing piatforms upon the crack- ling cattle sheds in despair. The flames leaped along from one to another with that easy beautiful curling grace wonder- ful to see if one could forget that every foot of progress will be so much more destruc- tion. be wind was steady and kept the fire down to the business of destroying each shed as it progressed. There were no long jumps to be foliowed up later but utter consumption; as it went it left A path of falien frames, charred debris and ashes. One thousand feet of shed, ex- tending from Avenue D eastto Avenue A, 500 feet wide, from Avenue F south to the center of the yards, were utterly destroyed. In some ofthe sheds were cattie, in others horses. Ail were tarned out upon the prairie to forage until the vanquero, with his sombrero and lassero should howl his circlet of oaths about them when the fire was over. THE FRIGHTENED CKEATURES charged down the lines, out upon the road, and took for any stretch of country that their excited minds could see a refuge in. Tie crowd collected alout the fire was small compared toits extent, the inhabitants being few in that vicinity, but they found much pleasure in the spectacle and resolutely abstained from aiding any to save the build- ings. The arrivalof tne St. Louis firemen changed this somewhat. Utter destruction bad been promised previous to that time. A line of sheds ten deep on every avenue were in fiames. There was no reason why tney should not all go. There could be a reason constructed. with the hooks of the Hook and Ladder truck and the hose frum the reels with an appropriate supply of water. The Department constructed that reason. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT was not notified until the fire had made a muck of the hay barn and a number of bins. It was just after 12 o’clock when Chief Lind- say telephoned the 18s and 12s to go to the fire, and in a moment afterwards the 23’s reel received notice to proceed at once to the scene of the fire. Assistant Chief Finnerty had preceeded all of the apparatus in his buggy and Assistant Chief Barr followed immediately afterwards, Hoo und Ladder Truck No. 3 bringt up ane reer a tee bose serenm of work im the — tion at work in the alley, just east of the ho house and between the first row of pens.

The fire originated in hay barn No. 2 at the corner of Avenues D and F. It spread to barn No. 1 and to the vast lines of sheds to the southward of the barns. it began at 11:40 a.m. The fact was patent in a few minutes that the fire apparatus of tne company would be insufficient to cope with it. It was on the realization of this that President Anox asked foraid. The ready response of the depart- ment is the reason that one pine plank re- about 8,000 feet wide and 2,560 feet were thrown down.

As announced in the Post-DIspatcn the Art | Department of the Exposition had but faint , hope of securing the French impressionist col- ‘lection for next fail. So it will be no | particular surprise, though it may awaken | profound regret, to state that the Secretary of the Treasury has ruled against the collection coming to St. Louis. It had been ‘in bond in New York, and the ques- tion whether it could in accordance | with customs regulations be taken out of bond and sent West had been under serious con- sideration by the Treasury. Mr. KRedhbeffer has received a telegram from the American Art Association to the effect that Acting Secre- tary Fairchiid had ruleg adversely. Mr. Redheffer was scarcely disconcerted by the news. Toa reporter he said: That takes off the Exposition a great load. You see it | would have been extremely doubtful it we ‘could have found room for the collec- tion if it had come here, The only way to have exuibited it would have been to remove the photographers’ displays, which would have been manifestiy unfair. This scarcity of room is cansed by the size of the American collection, which numbers over 300. W hat will we have in place of the French col- lection? Nothing. That was but an after- thought anyway, as the leading idea has been to mnake the display as nearly arepresentative American one as possible.’’ — THE WINNERS.

THE COURT INDORSES THE PROPOSITION OF CASHIER THOMSON’S BONDSMEN. Receiver Thompson Authorized to Take #50,000 from R. M. Scruggs To-Day and to Surrender the Collaterals—The Crimi- nal Features Discussed in Jadge Lubke’s Opinion — Fuli Text of the Decision Handed Down in Chambers — Develop- ments in the Provident Bank Failure. Judge Lubke, in chambers to-day, rendered the anxiously looked-for decision in the mat- ter of the proposition for settlement tendered by the sureties of Cashier Almon B. Thomson of the broken Provident Bank. The offer of Mr. Scruggs is ordered to be accepted, and the receiver will take in $50,000 before sundown. The Court’s decision is as follows: This petition has presented for throughtful and very attentive consideration two propositions, the first one ot business as that term is commonly used, andthe other one of law. The defaulting cashier of the bank gave two bonds, one in 1877 and the other in 1884, and they are each for $30,000. One of the sureties on both bonds comes forward and ou behalf of himself and co-sureties offers by way of compromise $50,000 in cash for the sur- render of both bonds without recourse upon the bank or the estate in the hands of the re- ceiver. In his petition reporting this proposition the receiver states that he knows of no liability recoverable upon the first one of these bonds in excess of $20,000, so that in effect the proposition is to pay the second bond in full and to compromise the first by the payment of $20,000. The ac- ceptance of this proposition has been urged before the Court without dissent on tne part of the depositors on the ground that it would expedite the settlement of the receivership and save he vy counsel fees and loss of interest which would necessarily follow from litigation to recover the iull amount of the bonds, leaving out of consideration THE UNCERTAINTY of ultmately recovering by suit as much as is | now offered by way of compromise. Objection to the acceptance of the proposition was taken by a stockholder of the bank and upon argu- ment of the matter the Court, being unwilling to act upon the petition of the receiver as pre- sented if there was reasonable ground for be- lieving that more than $20,000 could be recov- ered. on the first bond, gave to the op- posing stockholder who then had access to the books and papers of the bank sufficient time to prepare and file affidavits to show that fact. No affidavit hav- ing been filed the petition stands submitted upon the facts as reported by the receiver. Upon these facts it would be folly to reject the proposition for the merest possibility of recovering the additional $10,000. No good business manaver wonld do this. The proposition of the surety requires the sur- render of the bondsto him. No legal objec- tion to this can bethought of. The compro- mise if consummated entitles the surety to the possession of his bond for recourse against his principal and contribution trom his co-suretiés. The proposition 2180 requires the surrender of a note of the $1,250; American, New York, 31,250. | principal, Almon B. Thomson, for §8,500 and the crediting of $5,000 upon another note made by the principal for 315,000, and it also requires the surrender of two pieces of collateral pledged by the principal as security for these notes. The first is a certificate for what purports to be 100 shares of the stock of the Crystal Plate Glass Company. This was pi by the prineipal for the note ‘The other collaterat y , of is ae 7 fo" wha: purports to be thirty shares o } capital stock of the bank: This was pledge with OTHER COLLATERALS to which the sureties give up ans claim as se- curity for the note of $15,000. The breaches of the second bond of these sureties arose in part out of these notes. Undera well-settled rule of the law of principal and surety, the payment or satisfaction of the demand by the surety subrogates him to ali the collaterals which the creditor holds. Sothatif suit were brought on these bonds against the sureties and recovrry had and paid by them,they would be entitied to the possession of these collater- | als and have their action therefor. Taylor vs. Farr. 84 Mo. 420 and cases cited. But it also appears und in-argument upon this petition it was conceded that in fact the _ certifi- cate for 100 shares of stock of the Crystal Plate Glass Company was feloniously altered before it was put off on the bank by raising it from one to 100 shares, and that the certificate for thirty shares of the bank stock, although genuine as to the signatures to id was tmade out by the principal, Almon B. Thomson, and put off on the bank without his actuaily owning or being entitied to the shares it purpe to rep- resent. It is also conceded that t sureties are innocent parties. The question of law presented is whether or not the set tlement now proposed by the surety amounts to the compounding of a felony express or implied. Assuming that in these transactions Thomson committed crime and the wrong done by bim was both public and private, of these the former is against the State at large and the redress for thatinthiscity is solely with the criminal courts. The private wrong isthe injary done to the bank and to these sureties and the REDRESS FOR THAT in this city is exclusively with the Circuit Court, which has civil jurisdiction only. These remedies are concurrent. They may be in- voked simultaneously and the termination of the one is no bar to the other. The recovery in the civil action or satisfaction of the private wrong does not wipe out the crime, neither will conviction or acquittal in the criminal prosecution prevent the recove in the civil action. These principies are so well understood by the profession that it seems almost useless to repeat them bere. As to the private wrong the parties are entitled to a certain extent to con- tract, and it is the duty of the civil court to enforce any contract which they may have made in relation thereto or upon considera- tion thereof, provided such contract bas not in it the essence of what the criminal code declares to be a further offence against the State at large, that is the crime of com- pounding a felony or misdemeanor. The ac- ceptance of any money or property of another as gratuity, or reward, or promise thereof upon an agreement or understanding, express or impiied, to compound or conce acrime or to abstain from prosecution or to withhold — evidence thereot, are the elements which ma further offense. ‘Ihe gistof it isthe agree- mentor understanding to conceal or to ab- stain from the prosecution of orto withboid evidence of a crime which itis known was com mitted. Without such agreement or understanding ary contract which the parties injured may make looking to repara- tion of the private wrong will be e up this VALID AND ENPORCEABLE in the civil courts. It was so heid by the Su- preme Court of this State in the case of the es Brick Company vs. Cook,44 Mo 4 hich was a suit upon a bon given to repay within a certain time the amount of a defaication by an officer of the corporation. The receiver as such cannot institute any criminal prosecu- tion, and the use by him of funds of the re- ceivership for that purpose would be a misap- propriation. The civil court would not au- thorize him to use the funds in tbat direc- tion for the further reason that td do so would be rep upon the power of the State and its public prosecutors and criminal courte to nish tor wrongs done the State at large. Neither by express language nor Dy sugges- tion does this proposition call for any ment or understanding on the part of the receiver or of the court of which he is an arm be and unishment for the wrong done # State of the evidence of the alleged crime.

Greenleaf on Ev.,vol. 3,p.97,and cases cited. | oking at the matter judicially and giving full effect to the legal presumption that per- sons of good character intend th do right, there is no warrant tor receiving this roposal- tion with suspicion. The action of these sureties in coming forward so promptiv with an offer of reparation of all that can be demanded of them under the showing now made deserves commendation. If their purpose in thus coming forward is to allay resentment their action is more deserv- ing of approbation. And if their desire for the possession of these certificates subject to the greater right of the State ifand when a criminal prosecution is pending is to enable them to get redress from the defauiter for the wrong done them by him or to hold over him to force him back to the paths of rectitude * are asking what any good citizen would be likely to ask under like circumstances. AN ORDER IS MADE and will be spread upon record directing the receiver this day to acceptand carry out the 24 as submitted by Mr. R. M. Scrugus or himself and co-sureties, and to deliver to him the papers designated, with the indorse ments without recourse thereon, on receiving from him $30,000. As these papers are prac- tically in court, under the rule and practice in such cases the reveiver is directed to return copies thereof. G. W. LUBKE, Judge.’’ Settled. This afternoon late Judge Adams reported to court for the receiver to the effect that the sum of $50,000 had been paid over by the surety who made the proposition of settlement on the bonds of the defaulting cashier, and that the collaterals had been surrendered. PRIVATE SWITCHES, An Opinion That Judge Dillon’s Decision will Not Affect Most of Them. Judge Dillon’s decision in the Anhueser- Busen Brewing Company's switch matter raises the interesting question how many of the switches now exist- ing are in conflict with that decision. John D. Clements of the Missouri Pacific engineering department said, when asked for a list of the switches connecting with the Missouri Pacific 4 Iron Mountain Railroads, ‘‘We keep no rec- ord of these switches. They are built at the expense of the manufacturers who want them. We do not pay any part of the expense except furnishing the frog and switch-biock which is upon the maintrack. Ihave always thought these ewitches should be built by the railroad company and owned by them,although the per- sons tor whom they are built pay tor them. A railroad could build these switches and not he subjected to the rule Judge Dillon lays down. Particularly would that be true of the Missouri Pacific, which has, under its charter, the right to lay its tracks on any street of any city in the State. Most people do not know this. That will be the remedy inthefuture. Ido not think there are more than fifty private switches in this city. Not more than one-fourth the number in Kansas City. Mr. Clements’ estimate does not include the switches of the Union Depot Company, who have nearly as many asthe nomber given for the accommodation of the coal trade. In how far the decision would affect these switchesa judicial decision would be required to de- termine. The Anheuser-Busch Company hag resolved to appeal to the Supreme Court, and the result will be watched with interest. FATAL “CURIOSITY. © Father and Son Burned Almost to Death by an Explosion.

ABBE LIS ZT. — THE FAMOUS PIANO VIRTUOSO AND COM- POSER PASSHS AWAY. ® Close of a Career Full of Romance and Brilliant Achievement—From a Youthful Aged Lion — The Life, Prodigy to an Loves and Triumphs of the Musician. The cable announced yesterday the death at Bayreuth of Abbe Liszt,the musical Victo Hugo of his age. There is in music no more interesting name than that of Franz Liszt, the spolled favorite of Europe for more than half a century and without a question the greatest piano-forte virtuoso that ever lived. His life passed through the sunniest regions of fortune and success; his career as as artist and musician was without an equal, and his personal life teemed with romance. From Beethoven down to the obscur- est dilettante the history of music shows no instance of success approaching that achieved by the performance of this great player in ev- ery capital of Europe. When weary of tlie fame of the virtuoso he became 4 composer not only for the piano-torte, but for the orchestra, an! his invincible energy soon overcame all difliculties in his path. He lived to see himself accepted as one of the greatest musica! thinkérs and writers. The lite of Liszt is so crowded with import- ant incidents that it is difficuit to gather in the brief limits of a sketch any adequate state- ment of his carcer. He was born October 22, 18/1, in the village of Raiding, Hungary. His father, Adam Liszt, was firmiy convinced that Franz wouid become distinguished because of the appearance in that year of a remarkable com- et. The senior Liszt was gifted with a rare musical talent, but all his ambition centered in the son. At the age of 9 the boy Franz first appeared in public in Odenburg playing Kies 8 concerto in three flats and improvising a fantasia 80 wonderfully harmonious As to strike the audience with surprise and admira- tion. This performance brought him influen.- tial patronage und he was placed to study in Vienna under the celebrated Czerny, and made such progress that he soon played Beethoven and Hummel at sight. He quickly became one of. the lions of drawiag-rooms of the lad of 12 held sway the beautiful ladies of title and refine- ment, and the leading minds of the day. At this early age he had a sensibility so delicate and an imagination s0 quickly kindied that he himself said no one could guess the extremes of ecstasy and despair through which he alternately passed. From Vienna at the age of 13 be went to Paris. The Conservatoire refused to acceptanew candi- date, so the boy studied under Reichaand Paer. Every saton of the gay capital opened to receive him. Every where he was feted, courted and caressed. The social world went mad over the fair-haired, blue-eyed iad with the seal of genius barning on his face. The father saw that the buy was sailing in a treacherous and dangerous channel. His high obligation to his art was in danger from the hom- e of learning, wealth and beauty. He took him to England, Franz became morbidly de- —— and his dejection took the form of re- igiousenthusiam alternating with fits of deep remorse ,and in obdienceto medical advice the half-hysterical lad was taken to Boulogne- sur-Merforsea bathing. While there Franz lost by death the father who had loved him with the devotion of father and mother combined. He was prostrated by the biow. Upon his recovery his views of life seemed to have undergone a complete chanze. He worked resolutely at hisart. About this time he fell madly in love witha iadyin’ high rank who was much older than himself and laughed witb gentle mockery at the infatuation of her young adorer. He found his solacein more arduous work. Atthe age of 20 he settled in Paris, where he became the intimate associate of Mme. George Sand, Lalzac, Dumas, Victor Hugo and others. Liszt had hitherto been almost austere in his self-denial, in re- straint of passion and license and in religious purity of life, The brilliant and daring co- terie of which he became a part, defying con- ventionality and dull decorum, wrought the greatest change in his character. One of the fascinating members of the group was’ the Countess a’Agoult, who afterwards became famous in the literary world as Daniel Stern. Beautiful, witty, accomplished, imaginative, thoroughly in sympathy with her friend, George Sand, in her views of love and matrimony, the name of the Countess had already been widely reputed in connection with more than one romantic es- capade. [nthe powerful personality of young Liszt, instinct with artistie genias, vital with resolute, reckless will and fullof a magnetic energy that overfiowed in everything—looks, movement, talk, playing — the fickle nature of Mme. dad’ Agoult was drawn to theartist like steel tothe magnet, The young genius easily vielded to the refined and delicious sensuonsness of one of the most accomplished women of her time, who to every womanly fascination added the rarest mental gifts and high social place. The mutual passion resulted in an association which lasted many yearsand was perhaps as faithfully observed by both parties as could be expected of such irregular connection. » Three children were the offspring of the at tachment, ason, who died, and two daughters, one of whom became the wife of M. Ollivier, the last Imperial f’rime Minister of France, and the other successively Mme. von Bulow and Mme. Wagner, under which title she is stillknown. The chroniques scandaleuses of Paris and other great cities of Europe are full of racy scandals connecting the name of Liszt with well-known charml and beautiful women, while exposed by , surroundings and temperament to the flercest breath of temptation. The influence of Mime. d’ Agoult on the life of the great musician was most marked. She systematized his time, economized his efforts and stimulated bis ambitions, consistently using her power to restrain his naturally eccentric bias and to keep his thoughts on the loftiest art ideals. : The vivid 1 of the man which so enthralled his associates of the op- posite sex dazzied and dominated his audience. Me strode over the concert stage with the haughty step of a des- — who ruled with a sway aot to be cantested. ‘earing off his yloves from his fingers and hurling them on the piano, he would seat him- selfwith a proud gesture, run his fingers through his waving locks and then attack the ano with the vehemence of a con ueror aking his army into action. Some of his manner was no doubt the result of affectation — it added to the glamour with which he held 8 ors. in 7 when the destructive inundations 0 Danube rendered thousands homeless, Liszt, the traveling virtuoso, gure the proceeds of two months to Mr. chorus. = a tour rose at his concerts to wild excesses, his Ladies of the highest rank tore their gloves to their jewels on the stage instead of flowers, shrieked in their ecstacy and sometimes faint- performance. The stories of the Liszt craze among the usually unimpressible ladies of Germany and Russia are almost incredible. * He was presented with the sword of honor and a patent of nobility was conferred upon him according to Hungarian customs, The city of Pesth voted to erecta bronze si@tue of him, but he persuaded that the money be given to a struggling young artist. The erection of the statue of Beethoven at his birthplace in 1845 must be attributed to the and munificence of Franz Liszt. In 1846, a concert at Pesth, the en- thusiasm ‘of his audience ran so high that it well-nigh put an end tothe performance. After the concert Liszt made an inimitable speech, and was so gloriousiy be-champagned that it was with difficulty he was restrained from pistoling a nobleman who at 2 o’clock in the morning insisted that he could oarry off more bottles under his belt than Liszt. But notwithstanding the orgie Franz played at a concert the next day at noon as he never had played before. At the age of 38, in the year 1849, Liszt, with the world at his feet, map tee! and accounta- bly ceased from public display by settling at Weimar as conductor of the Court Theater. His new position, however, gave him a chance of producing his compositions. Liszt remained at Weimar for ten years when he resigned his piace. Since then he has lived at Weimar, Pesth and Rome. After half a century, during which he gained every reward that could be lavished upon genius, and tasted to the very dregs the wine of human happiness, a sudden revulsion recalled again that profound religious passion which glory and pleasure had never quite suppressed. It was by no means astonishing to those who knew him best that he took holy orders. Some of his enemies have said that his association with the church was a diplomatic escape from the invited rivalry of two ladies of rank be- tween whom he could not decide, but the statement is open to incredulity. Perhaps no better characterization of Liszt can be found than that which styles him a musical Victor Hugo, In both men were the same restless, burning imagination, a quick- ness of sensibility easily aroused, and Aa continual reaching for- ward toward the new and untried and ene ofthe old and the same great versatility and ceaseless fecundity. His re- cent reception in England proved that even in his old age much of the fire and magnet- isin of youth remained in him. The Abbe’s Last Moments. BAYREUTH, August 2.—The Abbe Liszt died in Herr Frolich’s house which stands near Wagnersville. The Abbe was ill when he came here to attend the Wagner festival and had to be carried to the opera- house. During the performance of Tuesday last he was nervous and tearfu:. He contracted acold which speedily turned into inflamma- tion of theiungs. He lost strength rapidly and on Friday was delirious. On Saturday he had a slight return of reason, but never ral- lied. — — LONG LIST OF CRIMINALS. Judge Noonan Disposes of a Heavy Docket To-Day. As the room of the Court of Criminal Cor- rection is being cleaned and renovated, Judge Noona to-day administered justice in the Criminal Court room. Howard Rogers and William Schultz waived examination in two cases of grand larceny and were bound over for the Grand-jury in the sum of $1,000 each. In one case they are charged with stealing 865 worth of hides from Norman Brown, and in the other with stealing another bundle of hides valued at $00 from the same man at a later date. William Culp, whois also charged with the same offenses, had an examination in both cases and was held forthe Graud-jury in the sum of $500 in each case. Michael Ryan was tried on a charge of as- saultand battery preferred against him by Nobert Jackson, found guilty and sentenced to six months in the Work-house. An appeal case of Jennie Lbierdemann taken from Justice Zimmermann's court was tried by Judge Noonan and she was discharged, Tie cases of Mary Sheehan, alias Nelly Wil- son, charged with grand larceny; Thomas Wiley, charged with petit larceny, and George Whitner, charged with assault and battery, were dismissed for want of prosecution. The case of Henry Jaeger, charged with em- bezzling $40 from the St. Louis Gasoline Stove Manufacturing Company, -was dismissed on payment of costs. A nolle prosequi was entered in the case of J. R. Turner charged with defrauding the Barnhart Mercantile Company of a car-load of lemons valued at $1,100. The case against Jane Parker alias Jane Wales, charged with keeping a disreputable house within 100 yards ofa church, was dis- missed for want of prosecution, she having removed. Maria Conners was sent to jail for one day for riotously disturbihg the peace of Mrs. Mary Donovan. Joseph Ruprecht was fined $1 and costs for overdriving a horse. He was discharged in another case. * A CONCLAVE CONCERT. Arrangements for a Grand Musical Open- ing in Music Hall. The Triennial Committee have assigned to Jesse Cornelius the organization of a large ch sfor the opening services of the conclave at Music Hall Sugday, September 19, at 2:30 p. m. Mr. Cornelius has accepted the task and has invited the Choral Society, conducted by Prof. Otten, to furnish the The soloists will be Mrs. Fannie Flesh Morse, soprano; Mrs. Adele Laeis, alto, and Mr. Bernard Dierkes, tenor, Prof. Bowman will officiate at the organ and Miss Clara Stubblefield at the piano. Postle- waite’s Triennial Conclave Band of thirty- four pieces will be the orchestra of the occa- sion. It is the desire of thosein charge to have the muste represent the vocal capabilities of the city. Some idea of the necessity of co- op- eration in this matter on the part of the singers of St. Louis may be judged from the fact that a good showing must be made in comparison with the concert of 3,000 voices at Chicago and San Francisco during receding conclaves. To do this several hundred singers will have to take hart in this musicalevent. All singers desir- ing to participate are requested to forward their names at once to Mr. Cornelius, 216 North seventh street. HE WAS IDENTIFIED. Harri#®Wilson Fined for Picking Pockets in the Park. Harris W. Wilson, alias Nelson, was up be- fore Judge Cady this morning on a charge of disturbing the peace. Astrangerin the city testified that while he was in Washington Squarre on Twelfth and Market streets about g Glock this morning and seated on a bench, Wilson attempted to pick his pockets. He also saw him putting his hands in another man's pockets. The witness was sure that Wilson wasthe man who attempted to rob him, and pointed him out to Officer Quigley. Wilson claimed he was not the man and that he was himself a stranger in the city. He was fined $25 and costs. Ingalls’ Savings Bank. See Page 5.

Mayor Harrison on the Witness Stand— Nothing Very Favorable to the Anar- chists Elicited—The Mayor’s Orders to Simon, 2 Inspector Bonfield — Martin Traveling Salesman, Relates His Story. CuIcaGo, August 2.—the efforts to obtain ad- mission to the court-room where the anarch- ists are on trial was greater to-day than ever before, owing to the fact that the defense was to begin the presentatian of its testimony and an intimation, also, that Mayor Hurrison was togo upon the stand to explain why he had permitted the essemblages of the anarch- ists. The number of female friends and rela- tives of the eight indicted men present in the court-room was greater than that on any previous day. Mayor Harrison was called as the first witness. He was examined by Capt. Black. After stating, in answer to quéstions, that he had been Mayor for seven years, he stated that he knew Spies and Parsons personally, the former only incidentally. He said he was present at the Haymarket on the night of the tragedy. When asked why he was present at the Hay- market Mr. Harrison said: ‘‘On Monday, May 3, a riot occurred near McCormick's reaper works. There were some windows broken end some shooting. On the that day my attention circular calling a meeting at the Haymarket on Tuesday night, which was framed ina peculiar manner’’ (the witness had reference to the ‘‘Revenge’’ circular).

Boston, Mass., August 2.—Superintendent Cornish of the Pinkerton Detective Agency furnishes a long expose vf the secret working of the anarchists of Chicago, which, he says, n thoroughly explored by the Pink- — 0 ne roel. Mr. Cornish says, was the first to blossom out as a redhot Socialist. He took Spies into his council. While. in Griet’s saloon one night Cornish heard Mrs. Parsons make a violent speech in which she advocated hurling bombs at the residences of the wealthy citizens of Chicago. Spies told them that he had a better plan which was as follows: Let every man arm himself with a little syringe, just large enough to be concealed in the closed band. The point of the syringe should be just as small an fine as that of a needle, so that all can easily pene- trate clothing and skin. The bulb of the syr- inge must be filled with prussic acid, and then Armed with this, the prussie acid into victim would not notice the attack any more than he would notice a slight prick of 4 pin or the bite of a flea, but the poison would kill him in a very few minutes, and his death would be a horrible one. He would not know, andifhe did he could not tell, what had been done to him. Cornish gives at considerable length the his- tory of the various groups of Socialists in the vity, details experiments with dynamite which were made by Spies, Schwab and Fischer, the establishment ofthe Alarm at Parsons’ sug- gestion, and then gives the place of meeting of each of the thirteen regularly constituted groups. WASHINGTON, The Labors of the First Session of the Forty- Ninth Congress. By Telegraph to the Post-DIsPATcH. WASHINGTON, D. C., August 2. Judge Hol- man, to-day, talking of the work done by Congress in the session about to close, said: There have been a great many things accom- plished which will materially strengthen the Democratic party, and do much to recom mend it to the people. The wholesale forfeit ure of railroad land grants is one of the most important pieces of legislation that has been before Congress. There have been more lands redeemed and restored to the pub- lic domain at this session of Congress than ever before. Upon the whole it has been a very fair Congress, and I think when it has . adjourned it will be found that its work has been generally approved by the people. I am inclined to think that the President made 1 serious error in his numerous vetoes of private pension bills. I look upon it as being in bad taste, although it is true that there is a great deal of favoritism often in the shape of pension bills through the influence and osition of those holding places on the Invalid ension Committee. The public believes that the President is honest in his intention to make a good party. The frankness with which he has deait with the subject referred to would imply that he is not designing and scheming for a second term. lle is unquestionably respected throughout the country for his honesty of purpose, though many of his acts, I think,are unwise and not consistent withthe wishes of the party leaders.’’ War On Superintendent Wear.

C., August 2.—The con- ferees on the sundry civil appropriation bill this morning agreed to report back a disa- greement on that measure. Many points of difference have been adjusted, however, and the only matters that will require the action of the next conference are the amendments relating to the coast survey, the public land survey, the oecupancy of the Pension Office building, the stenographer to Supreme Court Justices, the Yellowstone Park and an ad- ditional building for the Government Insane Asylum.

The Democratic City Central Committee meets this evening to make the preliminary arrangements for the holding of primaries for the election of delegates to the State Conven- tion. The Convention will be called to order in the -Exposition Hall on the morning ofthe 18th of the current month. According to precedent the committee this evening should select the day preceding the convention for the primaries. The appointment of Judges and Clerks o election will very likely be-laid over until the next meeting of the Central Committee, one week from to-day, when the different com- mitteemen will submit lists of those whom they wish to serve. The basis of the representation in the cor vention, as agreed upon by the State Central Committee, is one delegate for each 300 votes and one additional for each 150 votes or over, cast at the last general election for the Democratic nominee for President. In St. Louis the dele- gates are to be elected by wards and in the county by representative districts. According to the comprtation of the Democratic City Central Committee the total vote of the city for Cleveland was 23,817, on the basis of which they will be allowed eighty-one delegates. Secretary of State McGrath gives the city’s vote in the national election as 21,712. which would entitle it to seventy-three delegates. The City Central Committee will stick to its own figures, and for once in his lifetime the honored Chief-Justice will be relegated to the rear. The distribution of delegates is as follows: First Ward, 5; Second Ward, 4; Third Ward, 3; Fourth Ward, 7; Fifth Ward, 3; Sixth Ward, 2; Seventh Ward, 2; Kighth Ward, 2; Ninth Ward, 2; Tenth Ward, 6; Eleventh Ward, 1; Twelfth Ward, 8; Thirteenth Ward, 2; Fourteenth Ward, 3; it teenth Ward, 3; Sixteenth Ward, 2; Seven- teenth Ward, 5; Eighteenth Ward, 7; Nine- teenth Ward, 2; Twentieth Ward. 3; Twenty-first Ward, 1; Twenty-second Ward, 1; Twenty-third Ward, 1; Twenty-fourth and Twenty-tifth Wards, 4; Twenty-sixth Ward, 1; Twenty-eighth Ward, 2.

His estimates are regarded gener- ally as very accurate, as his list of correspond- ents throughoutthe State is lengthy. Speak- ing of the result of the fight thus far, Mr. Me- Grath said: ‘‘Sixty-eight counties in this State have eleeted delegates to the Democratic The number of delegates in these sixty-eight counties is 427. Taking the instructed and not instructed counties he computes the relative strength of | the candidates for Judge of the Supreme Court | as follows: Henry, 171; Brace, 112; Martin, 101; and Fox 43.

Long Branch Correspendence New York Herald. Husbands are not always so blind as they seem. One of them performed a very clever act on Saturday afternoon. A young and handsome basso singer. be- longing to one of the comie opera compa- hies in New York, had been recuperating here for several days. and he devoted rather too much attention to a married lady. He drove in her carriage, walked with her on the porches, and sat with her | sleep. to other married women who had noth- in the same place until the moon went to The flirtation grew very tiresome ing of the kind on hand. some person among the Some meddle- noble-hearted | philanthropists dropped the husband a note, telling him that if he didn’t want horns upon his head he’d better come down hereand look after his wife. He was not slow to take the hint. Hesent his spouse word that he would be down on the 6:47 train, but instead of that he came early inthe afternoon,and had the ex- treme pleasure of seeing the equipage he supported for his wife drive up to receive that lady and the basso singer. When they had entered the victoria he called a public cab and followed. The road led toward Pleasure Bay, and when a long, suuny stretch was reached he hailed his own coachman ahead. The man knew his veice and pulled up the grays. The husband discharged the hired cab and sent it back. Then he stepped to his wife’s carriage and ordered her companion to mount upon the box beside the driver, There were signs of insubordination but no words, for the husband quietly put his hand into his hip- pocket (where he only had a silk handkerchief, 10 declares). The pretty singer found himself undone—barred out, as it were. He took the cue and mounted to the box, and I saw the party return, having been apprised by a mutual friend as to what was likely to occur. The husband ordered his coachman to drive slowly past, in full view of the hotel, and everybody who knew the young masher saw him seated on the box beside the sleek driver. He dis- appeared soon after, and everybody voted the husband a philosoplier. It beat a kick- ing all to pieces. He Beat the Mud. From the Detroit Free Press About four miles out of Birmingham, Ala., we came across a stretch of road about four miles long which was a foot deep withred clay mud. We had to ride our horses along the edge of it. and then it wasa job to pull through. On the far side, about fifty feet from the solid road- bed, we came upon acolored man with his mule and cart, the latter loaded with wood and stuck fast in the mud. The man was seated by the roadside, while the old mule was chewing away ata heap of brush and grass which had been cast before him. Stuck!“ asked one of the party as we drew rein. **Reckon so,“ was the reply. ‘*tlow long you been bere?’’ Since yesterday.” ‘**Why don’t you unload and get out?“ Joo much trouble, boss, ize started fur town, an’ ’twon’t puy to go back home agin.” But what will you do!“ Wait fur de mud to dry up, sah.

S., August 2.—The proposed second attempt to launch the big raft at Two Rivers, Cumberland County, at midnight, Saturday night, had to be postponed after all the arrangements had been completed, on account oi tog. The weather yesterday morn- ing was beautiful and a large crowd gathered to witness the greatest launch ever attempted on this continent. Everything was got in readiness forthe nigh tide and at 12:05, pre- cisely, the raft started amid the snouts of the spectators. It moved off most beautifully, its momentum increasing gradually, but with wonderiul ceierity. When 200 feet down the launchway, the cradle broke withacrash and a roar that couid be heard distinctly a mile away. It was accompanied by fire and smoke caused dy the friction. The huge raft surged for a moment and then settled down on the wrecked cradle. Sticks of hard wood, eighteen inches in diameter, were snapped like pipe-stemis and ground into match-wood. The raft remains intact, only two of the binding chains being broken. It is about one-fifth submerged at high water. itis probable that it cannot be moved. France. THE ELECTIONS.

The Vehicle Which wis ‘Bailt to Convey the Mon + 7ts8 Load. The new cable for ta- cab! railway. a wire rope 85,000 feetlong and one and one quar- ter inches in diameter, weighing over fifty-two tons, was conveyed on a special truck built for the urpose from the Union Depot to the power- — at Franklin and Channing avenues. This truck had wheels with tires ten inches wide. When making the truck it was found that solid steel axies capable of bearing the enor- mous mass would be impracticable on ac- count of their great weight and the impossi- bility of getting wheels of sufficient strength to bear their weight added to that ofthe cable. The matter was finally fixed by the pro of the Paddock-Hawiley Iron — gon A gf oo 2 7 of special tubular axies to u y the National . Wen Ale Co. ot & oe e axles were Tous wrought tubes seven inches in diameter and eight — One-half feet long and weighed but 1,500 pounds, boxes included. The spindles were polished and case-hardened. The steel tubular axles are destined to replace hickory aud solid axles. - IMPROVEMENT BONDS. The Cass Avenue and Fair Grounds Railway Company Raises $200,000 on Bonds.

St. Louis, Mo. any good. A customer Kas., writes Annan, Bury & Co. that onl showers fell in that section, and thata wheel would throw up dust immediately after the rain. He concluded by saying: ‘‘We heat of heavy rains far ur away, and hear of a man who saw another man who heard of heavy rains at some other placé. But, gentiemen, the skies are brazen, the thermometer up to cook- ing point and there is no beer in this burg.’’ Francis Bros’. private wire: slight to heavy rains over most of Nebraska, and looks rainy this morning. Showers Saturday in Iowa, IIlinois and now clear and warm to cool. Our advices indicate slight increase to country movement. Country feel- ing evidently shade weaker. Continental cables firmer for wheat, with buying orders. The weather in England is also unsettled, which will tend to give firmer markets there to-morrow.’’ —— Deliveries of wheat on August contracts to-day were 500,000 bu, nearly all of which went to Francis Bros. n a late interview Jack Cudahy of Chicago said he thought lard had the best future as it was the cheapest article on the speculative list. »Lard is selling to- day for about what the dressed hog is costing and less than dry-salted shoulders. Such a thing was never known before. This is due, he thinks, to the fact that lard has been “we in value since the McGeoch failure until now people believe it is not worth anything. He also stated that stocks of the world are not large, for though Chicago has a good stock on hand, the balance held elsewhere is less than last year, and the consuming season is just at hand. The next four months are the months to use lard. Last year the stocks in Chicago on August 1 were 111,000 tes, and on November 1 this was reduced to _ 10,000 tes. Concluding, he said, in answer to an inquiry as to whether prices were likely to advance or not: ‘‘Well,it is hard to say. However, there is plenty of room for it to go light COMMERCE.

Receipts here, while amount- ing to 205,000 bu, were so much smalier than several preceding Mondays’ that the impres- sion was confirmed of a falling off in the move- ment. Advices from abroad were of unfavorabie weather in France and England and crop pros- pects not so javorable, while Continental cables were quoted firmer. The heavy do- liveries on August contracts did not affect tie markét at ail, but the decrease of less than 2,500,000 bu in the visible was so much smaller than expected that it put a still firmer tone into the market, The close was 12 @ 440 above Saturday.

THE imprudent: friends of the Chicago anarchists continue their ill-advised meetings to express their sympathy and indorsement. At; these meetings the ora- tors go out of their way to denounce what they call the ‘‘capitalistic press,” by which they menn the papers that do not uphold and defend the anarchists. From the same fountain of eloquence, we may soon hear something about a “‘capi- talistic” penitentiary and a ‘‘capitalistic” gallows. 8 — THE latest news from the Cutting case is that the Mexican judge, Casranepba, has already decided on the guilt of the Gringo Editor and on the sentence, but has not yet decided how to tity him. Understanding that CuTTING had expressed a contemptu- ous opinion for Mexican law, the Judge, asa concession to prejudice, proposed to try him according to Texas law; or, if he prefers it, he can be tried under the Pan- dects of Justinian, the only condition re- served by the Comrt being that the sen- tence shall remaim the same. The Rasures case and the Cutting case are eye-open- ers for Americans. THE Lllinois Railroad and Warehouse Commissioners have decided that no rail- road company in that State can legally engage in the business of mining and sell- ing or buying and selling coal, and they have requested the Attorney-General to begin proceedings against all railroad companies so engaged. Here in Missouri the coal lands and the coal mining busi- ness are passing under the control of rail- road men by u process which is as patent as it is illegal and contrary to public policy. Men in control of a railroad ob- viously have the means of getting interests easily freeze out and buy out at their own price all other miners dependent on their railroad for transportation. The monopoly of Lafayette County’s coal business by a company of men connected with the Mis- souri Pacific was months ago laid before our Railroad Commissioners, and by them referred to that cave of silence and inertia, the Attorney-General’s office. As the same process of evolving mining monopo- lies out of the mysteries of railroad man- agement is going on all over the State, a Missouri Attorney-General or Railroad Commissioner who could be induced to interfere would be a curiosity for a dime museum. — ä —— — ͤ A PLEA FOR THE POOR. Senator Gipson and Representative WALLACE are reported in the New Orleans papers as personally urging the President to veto the oleomargarine bill in the inter- est of the Southern poor, who cannot pay the price of genuine butter, and also in the interest of the cotton seed oil market. Oleomargarine manufactured at a cost of 7 cents a pound is sold in the South, as it is sold everywhere else, not as a cheap substitute for butter, but as genuine but- ter, being retailed at 18 or 20 cents in com- petition with genuine butter ranging in retail price from 25 to 45 cents. The poor people who buy it as butter would not touch it as oleomargarine, and the pretended plea for them is merely a plea for the perpetuation of a swindle upon them. A law forcing sellers to label hon- estly all imitations or adulterations of butter would force down the price of oleo- margarine to its normal commercial value, and those who chose to eat it would then beable te procure it ata price bearing some fair relation tothe cost of produc- tion. People whose poverty compels them to buy an oleomargarine imitation of but- ter should be thankful for a law which en- ables them to get it at oleomargarine prices and protects them from imposition and extortion. GIBSON’s plea that oleo- margarine makes a market for cotton seed oil is like the argument of the cattle barons in behalf of oleomargarine—good only so far as it isnot an argument for the perpetuation of afraud and swindle upon the poor. The producers of soap- grease, animal or vegetable, are entitled tothe benefit of any market which the honest sale of oleomargarine can créate forthem. But when they oppose legisla- tion to prevent the sale of oleomargarine as butter, they should not try to make us belie ve they are working in theinterest of the poor. — — - > --—+ -—__ — ‘ PRIVATE SWITCHES. The decision of Judge LUBKE, first pub- lished in the Posr-Dispatcu of Saturday, declaring the ordinance invalid which authorized the Anheuser-Busch switch, will probably affect a great many private switches against which no objections have been raised. The chances are that ou Supreme Court will find some loophole through which the plain law can be evaded and the rights of the people set aside, but until the decision is rendered it is idIé to speculate on the results. Should the Supreme Court, however, sustain Judge Lunk it seems as if the switches might be transferred to the rail- road companies on equitable terms. The great majority of these private switches have undoubtedly been beneficial to the city. Itistrue that as private property they have helped to swell the profits of private capital, but in doing this they have promoted the commerce of the city, have established business on a firmer busis, and have given wider employment to labor. No objection has been raised wherethey have not directly injured the property or business of private citizens near by, and public sentiment desires that every facility for the transaction of busi- ness should be granted, where it does not conflict with justice. But the doctrine laid down by Judge LUBKE has its foundations in equity and justice, and respect for the law is a lesson which should be enforced alike on the rich and poor, on great corporations as strictly as on private individuals. — — — — THE POWER OF PROHIBITION, The suppression of the saloon in Iowa has produced an extraordinary increase of slight maladies requiring alcoholic treatment, although the death rate of the State is no higher than it was in the golden age of the dramshop. A druggist in a town of 3,000 inhabitants filled eighty- four liquor prescriptions in one day; and in one county with no large town 5,000 pints were sold for medicine during the month of June. Various causes are as- signed for this wonderful consumption of strong drink for medicinal purposes. Some ascribe it to the prolonged drouth, some to the prohibitory liquor law, and others think that it proceeds from planetary in- fluence. Drinking liquor sometimes pro- duces planetary results, or the seeing of stars, but it is very uncommon to regard the consumption of liquor as a result of planetary influence. Some curious persons with a scientific turn of mind have compiled statistics relat- ing to the extraordinary use of alcoholic medicine in Iowa. These figures show that this medicine produces very few perma- nent cures; thatsymptoms are liable to be developed at any time; that the favorite medicine is beer, which is administered for dyspepsia, languor, rheumatism, dim- ness of vision, stiff joints, sore toes, hic- couglis and sore eyes. The Iowa situation is commended to Prohibitionists for ex- haustive and analytical study. It should engage the especial notice of those scien- tific Prohibition ladies who so strenuously insist on the study of alcohol in the public in coal mines along their line on their own terms, and once in, can — .

The Senate did the right thing in reject- ing the nomination of W. C. MarrnEews as Recorder of Deeds for the District of Columbia. Marruws, if confirmed, would have entered the office as a carpet- bagger imported from a long distance, and the nation has emphatically con- demned and repudiated carpetbaggery. The vile thing is at war with the spirit and traditions of democracy, and should not be revived. If the President wants to put a negro in the positiq@, he can find a com- petent one in the City of Washington. But while the rejection of Marruzws Was proper in an absolute sense, it can hardly be contended that the Senate acted consistently in rejecting him after con- firming some appointees of the adminis- tration whose unfitness is notorious and conspicuous. No objection was raised against MATTHEWS except that he was an importation from another city, and for this the Senate refused to confirm his nomination. Yetthe same august body did not hesitate to confirm as Surveyor of St. Louis a man whose offences are mat- ters of record. MATTHEWS should have recommended himself to the Senate by committing a felony or swindling some- body. The present Senate has shown con- clusively that it confirms or rejects ap- pointments without reference to charac- ter, fitness or qualifications. — > oe Ä — It is reported that certain fishermen of Isle Royal, in Lake Superior, robbed the bodies of the persons who lost their lives in the Algoma disaster last fall; but this is not as bad asthe crime of an absconding cashier who robs hundreds of live people and runs off with the booty. A large pro- portion of the depositors of banks, espe- cially savings banks, need their small possessions more urgently than the dead do. — . —ñä— 32 WE have fortunately nothing to fear from the Mexican navy.

THE opposition to Congressman GLOVER seems to be going to join the dry-iand sea serpent of the Yellowstone Park. RECENT news about the Central Pacific Rail- road and the California Legislature parts a chestnutty flavoring to the political sensation in Ohio. Ir is claimed that INGALLS is the Sam Jones of the Senate; but, then, SAM JONES never re- tracts or apologizes, and that’sa big part of INGALLS’ business in the Senate. THE Senate wants to appropriate $300,000 for a survey ofthe Hennepin canal, but the sur- vey of the subject which the people have taken satisfies them that the canal is a bad egg. „ SENATOR BLAIR is a total abstuiner from liquor, but smokes high-priced cigars. This half-and-balf, Sam Jones sort of temperance is not the kind that awakens most enthusiasm. - — — A Forward Indian Maid. From the St. Paul Pioneer Press. While on his recent visit to Detroit Lake, William Penn Nixon, accompanied by his wife, visited White Earth Indian Agency. One morning he was chatting with Agent sheehan, who was dilating upon the rapid progress made by the aborigines, when an Indian girl dashed up to the door upon a pretty pony, dismounted, and, taking the train of her rid- ing havit on her arm, walked into the agency, presented a certificate froma sur- veyor in regard to fees paid, and said she wished a patent for her land. ‘‘Here,’’ said Agent Sheehan, ‘‘is a good illustration of just what we were speaking about.’’ The Indian girl, though a full blood, made an attractive picture in her bright riding habit, and the editor spoke up, saying: By the way, how can I secure some land here?’’ Were do you live?’’ asked the red girl. “. In Chicago,’’ replied the philosopher of the daily press. Oh, then, you'll have to marry me in order to obtain land here on the reservation, piquantly spoke up the mad. But I am al- ready married; here is my wife. es, but she is old; I am young. I bear you can easily get a divorce in Chicago. Come here, marry me, and you can have land.’’ Her entreaties were so earnest and arguments so strong that the editor was compelled to use his utmost strategy in order to prevent completing the ‘‘treaty’’ with the Indian maid.

Itis not the moral putin at the tagend of the book, and which nobody reads, which shows its moral tendency. It is not only the way in which a subject is handled which does harm or good; it is the subjects that are handled. The fact that a nation pro- duces and reads novels written on foul sub- jects is a fearffl test of its state of mind, and no amount of moral writing on foul subjects will cure it. From the Galveston News. Both were the breaking up o taken.’’ ‘Triumphant Old Age. From the Johnstown Democrat. Plato, in the midst of literary work, died in his Slst year. Isocrates wrote his famous commemorative discourse of the Athenian patriots after enter - ing upon his 95th year. Leontinus Gorgias filled out 107 years with- out suspending his studies and labors, and, when asked whether he did not find old age burdensome, replied, ‘‘Ihave never had oc- casion to find fault with old age. Cato’s most celebrated arguments before the courts and Senate of Rome were made after he had passed his three score years and ten. Eunlus, in great poverty, was happy and contented when verging on his 80th year. Quintus Maximus, Lucius Paullus, the Fab- ricii, the Curii, the Corucarii rendered the greatest possible service to theircountry when verging on their 90th year. Appius Claudius, the foremost statesman of Rome, was in his zenith for many years after reaching three score and ten years. Scipio the elder was full of labor and honor when verging on his 90th year. Jordan as an Authority. From the New York World. United States Treasurer Jordan resigned from the cashiership of the Third National Bank in order to take .the Presidency of the Ontario & Western Railroad Company. He did not begin his speculative business while he held the position of cashier, but his desire to go into railroat! ventures induced his resig- nation. As he after wurd lost his money by in- vestments in Ontario & Western, the North River Construction Company and West Shore, it would have been no doubt better for him if he had remained a bank cashier and refrained from speculation, as he did as long as he held a position of trust. Still, there is nothing in Mr. Jordan’s career, either as a bank cashier or subse- quently as an unsuccessful railroadspeculator, which shouid make his opinions on financial matters outweigh the opinions of all but a dozen of the Democratic Representatives in Congress, including such experienced and capable men as Randall, Carlisle, Ran- doiph Tucker and Morrison. Indeed, if suc- cess in a man’s private affairsis a test of his fitness to manage public affairs, it would have been better for the Treasury Department and for Mr. Jordan himself if he had remained a bank cashier atasalary of $8,000 or $10,000a year instead of retiring into the Treasury ona salary of $6,000. The Comte de Paris and Nana. From a Paris Letter. With reference to Mr. Arthur Meyer, who is not only the principal adviser of the Comte de Paris, but also the editor-in-chief of the Gaulois, the Clairon, and of all the other Orleanist papers at Paris, it may not generally be known that he made his debut in the capital as private secretary and factotum of the notorious demi-mondainé, Blanche d’Antigny, the original of Zola’s ‘‘Nana.’’ If popular report is to be credited, he was on one occasion expelled from the Casino at Trouville for cheating at cards.

A Washington Pilgrim’s Story. From the Des Moines Leader. A funny story was lately brought back bya pilgrim to Washington. Hepburn represents the Eighth lowa District, and Gen. Wheeler the Eighth Alabama. Both were cavairy ofticers during the late unpleasantness, Wheeler as a Lieutenant-General and Hep- burn as a Lieutenant-Colonel. Last winter both found their fences .badly down. All these coincidences led to an attempt at mutual consolation, during which it was agreed that they would get up a big row in Congress over the late war, and thus make themselves again solid with their respective constituencies. This, itis said, accounts for what was meant to have a tremendous effect, but was under- strictly Pickwickian. Reporters Who Are Useful. It is a noteworthy fact that not long ago the no criminal news should be given to reporters. block the efforts of the police to make a tapture. Now these reporters are furnishing the most valuable testimony to convict the men who murdered so many ofthe police. It does not pay, anyway, to try to keep the newspaper reporters ignorant of what is going on in police circles. Reporters are good detectives, and for all the tips they receive The Truth About Unwholesome Novels. There never was a more unwholesome idea What Texas Thinks of It. They say that the typical small girl of fash- ijonable New York at 12 years of age is elaborately dressed three or four times a day, walks the veranda of the hotel .with the assurances of a woman of the world, goes to bed at midnight, donates her stockings asa souvenir to boy lovers, and does not hesitate to ask for the best place in the dance or at the table.

A precedent has been made in Columbus which ought to be encouraged. Bob Mont- gomery, the Prosecuting Attorney of the county, having a grievance against the Sunday News, went to its office for the purpose of whipping its editor, and, not finding him, pro- ceeded to vigorously thump the bookkeeper.

Address of the Board of Direction—An Au- dacious and Unique Idea-Advantages secured by the Projectors and Prospect- ive Resultant Sueccess—Exhibits trom St. Lo ulis. The American Exhibition in London opens May 2, 1887. Coals will then be earried to Neweastle. Pittsburgh will furnish Sheffield with steel, The wild untutored West, the jand of buffalo, Indians and gold nuggets will show the effete East in a comprehensive man- ner what her millions of inhabitants have done and can do to send the nineteenth cen- tury echoing into futurity. The den is unique. The establishment in Lon- donof anexhibition of American ingenuity, wealth and progressiveness. It is an idea that deserves a crowning of success, if for noth- ing else than its audacity. It is saying to the English: ‘‘You are a great people, very proud of yourselves and accomplishments, but America is greater. In an address to the people of the United States authorized by the Board of Direction occurs the following pas- gages: „Most European nations are at present making great efforts to secure new marxete— Germany has even adopted the nov * X- pedient of sending a floating ae 1 port to port with the object of extending her 0 erce. : «Doubtless the most effectual means which can be adopted of tliustrating to the people of Europe, and to those buyers for the Colonies who reside permanently in London, the ex- cellence and variety of American industrial, mineral and agricultural products, is to hold an exclusively American exhibition in the heurt of that city, tue world's commercial and financial metropolis. It is of course obvious that an exhibition exclusively devoted to the arts, inventions, manufactares, products and resources of one country and heid in the metropelis of another could not be initiated by the government of the former. „It such an exhibition be considered one of great value to American industries and Amer- ican commerce, it must therefore be organ- ized by private initiative, or not at ail. ‘“‘Rather more than two years ago the opin- jon ot a number of representative citizens Was taken as to the prospective value of such anexhibiiion. The unanimous reply from ar- tists, inventors, manufacturers and produc- ers Was tothe effect that such an exhibition would be most valuable and beneticial. This opinion was contirmed by 100 of the principal United States consuls in very emphatic terms, and a ‘*General Council’’ of 500 representative Americans was constituted to give individval and collective assistance and support to the inception of the undertuking. Ine fact oi the exhibition being confined to exhibits from the United States constituted a new departure, however, in the history of ex- hibitions, and it was consequently deemed ad- visable, before proceeding farther with the undertaking, to elicitan expression of opinion from representative men in Great Britain, and even from those of other European countries, as to whether such a ‘new departure’ would meet with opposition, indifference or approval, on the other side of the Atlantic. The result of this inquiry, which was made in a most thorough manner, covering a period of four or five months, was so favorable that not only did the idea neet everywhere with approval, but 1,000 of the most influential men in Great Britain (representing art, sciente, in- dustry, commerce, munufactures, finance, literature, law, politics, the army and the navy), enrolled themselves as a council to welcome intending exhibitors and visitors from the United States. „So cordial were the offers of assistance that several English railroad companies offered the loan, ata mereiy nominal rental, for the purposes of the exhibition, of an admirably situated tract of land, coverimgabout twenty- three acres in the heart of London, at Ken- sington, midway between Hyde Park and the Thames, and in the center of one of the best residential portions of thatcity. It was ex plained that ten millions of people reside within one hour’s railway journey from this site, and more than half that number within thirty minutes’ railway journey. here appeared, therefore, no reason why vigorous measures should not be taken to commence the necessary organization of the enterprise, and on the ist of January, 1835, an association, consisting of several representa- tive men, was duly constituted under (for ob- vious réasons of convenience) the British Lim- ited Liability Acts, and an adequate amount of capital was duly subscribed. Ihe buildings (which are to be erected this year) will besimilarin character to those of the four exhibitions sosuccessfuily held under the Presidency of the Prince of Wales and the uble direction of Sir Vhilip Cunliffe Owen at South Kensington, which are known as the Fisheries Exhibition of 1853; the Health Exhi- bition of 1884; the Invenéions Exhibition of 1885, and the Colonial and Indian Exhibition, N is now being visited by such large num- ers. It is not the building which is the point of interest to the teeming inillions of Europe, butthe contents. Itis well to remember that of the visitors to the Centennial Exhibition in 2876. probably not more than 2 per cent were foreigners, and yet how incalculably wide- spread and beneficial was that great gathering to the future development of our country’s resources. What may not therefore be ex- pected from an exclusively American exhibi- tion, where the percentage of foreign visitors may already be estimated at 98 per cent of the whoie. as against ops cent.,and where epace will only be allotted to the very best quality of exhibits so that Europeansand colonial re- resentatives and visitors may be able to orm some trustworthy idea of the vast pro- gress made by this country during the past hundred years. No better period could have been selected for the holding of such an ex- hibition of the best manufactures and pro- ducts of the United states than next year, for next summer Great Britain and her colonies will celebrate, in London, the Jubilee year or fiftieth anniversary of Queen Victoria’s reign by a succession of fetes and unique examples of modern pageantry, which will attract large numbers of visitors from all parts of Europe and the colonies.’’ The exhibition was to have occurred—the original intention was—in May, 1886. But on account of the International Exposition in- augurated for this year a postponement was decided upon. President Cieveland will open the Exhibition by cable from the White House, an effective ceremonial inauguration. Locally the exhibition is bound to excite interest. An Advisory Board has been formed in St. Louis, consisting of Prof. Waterhouse, John R. Lionberger and William H. Thomson. The latter has been made a member of the Board of Direction and is much interested in the success of the enter- Prise. He said this morning: ‘‘I made in- quiries before allowing my name to be con- nected with it, as to the character andstand- ing of the gentlemen connected with it in this country and in England. I knowthe gentle- — inthis country are leading men in their ocalities, and am assured of the very high — of those abroad. We are now trying obtain interest for the enterprise among local merchants. I have addressed the follow- ing circular to manufacturers: ‘DEAR SIR: As a director of the American Exhibition of the Arts, Inventions, Manufact- ures, Products and Resources of the United States ot America, to be opened in London England, on May 2, 1887, 1 beg to hand you herewith duplicate blanks for space, upon the back of which you will find the regulations for exhibitors, and I venture to submit for your« consideration, the desirability of your mak- ing application for space. There can be no doubt, I think, that much practical good will result from such a display in London. and that it will tend to increase our American ex. port trade, and the movement of capital from zurope to America, for the purpose of assist- ing the development of our country’s re- sources. In the event of its being your inten. tion to exhibit at the American Exhibition in ndon, I have the pleasure to invite one of the members of your firm to become a metn- ber of the Advisory Board’’ which com- Prises some of the most eminent manufactur- ers in the United States.

John Gallagher, his married daughter, Mrs. Maggie McDonald, and a neighbor, Mrs. Ella Flynn, were tried by Judge Cady this morning for disturbing the peace. John had a bruise onthe bridge of his nose and both his eyes were discolored. He also stated tothe Court that his left lez was black and blue from blows inflicted withashovel. He lives at 409 Lynch street, and Saturday night the whole house- hold went on a general spree, which terminated in the usual row, the wife and daughter combining forces against Gallagher, and Mrs. Flynn, a neighbor, also taking a hand in the trouble, assisting the women. Gallagher claimed that his daughter and Mrs. Flynn had beaten him with the shovel. Mrs. Flynn denied hitting him and showed a mutilated finger and dis- colored arm which, she claimed, were due to his teeth anda blow. The daughter admitted slapping him in the face, but claimed he had called herand her mother vile names, and she denied using a shovel on him. A police Officer testified tothe badly used-up appear- ance of Flyun when he found him.

WOODSTOCK’S MIDNIGHT SHOOTING RE- VIVES A STORY OF LOVE AND BETRAYAL. A Romance with a Possibly Fatal End— Emma Duncan’s Sad Fate and Its Tragic Sequel — Was the Deed the Work of a Wronged Girl’s Avenger—A Story Which May Contain an Interesting Explanation. Riddled with bullets and racked with pain, Joe Shobey lies at his home at Woodstock on the Wabash railroad, grimly awaiting the re- sult, but determined that the secret of his assassination shall die with him. Joe bore @ good name in the country round about Wood- stock. He was ‘‘a good fellow’’ and none be- lieved he had a mortal enemy in the world. Ifhe knew it himself he never confided his tears to anyone. Some time ago he married and settied down as hostler tor Mr. Ben McCullough, paying teller ot the State Savings Association, who lives at Woodstock, a station on the Ferguson Branch of the Wabash. Shobey and his wife were given & house on Mr. McCullough’s place, only a short distance from his own residence. Here the couple lived happily until last Saturday, when mystery, which works estrangements in more pretentious homes than theirs, entered this little household. In her duties at the bedside of the wounded man the ministrations of the wife received many a check during the day as some ugly suspicion flashes across her mind when her husband refuses to answer her questions. Snortly after 1 o’clock last Saturday morning Mrs. Shobey was awakened by noises in the vicinity of the house. She heard some one calling her husband’s name. He wassleeping at the time but she wakened him. He drew on some of his garments and went to the door. As he opened the door he was blinded by the flash of a gun, and fell across the thresh- old bleeding from fifty wounds. His wife ran to his assistance, and dragged him back into the room. The noise of some one beating a rapid retreat from the house was distinctly heard. Mrs. Shobey ran up to Mr. McCuliough’s house and found that gen- tleman dressed and on his way down, having been roused by the report of the gun. With the assistance of the other servants Shobey was putin bed. Medical assistance was sent tor and every effort made to relieve his ex- cruciating pains. Mr. McCullough asked Shobey if he knew the attempted assassin. The wounded man _ replied that he knew bim and could identity him again. To all other questions concerning the shooting and the provocation, he refused to make any answer. His wife besought him to tell Mr. McCullough everything, but he refused to make any statement. The portrayal of his dangerous condition had no effect on him. He refused to answer any questions. To-day the old aunties of the neighborhood trudged across the country to see Joe and es him what little consolation they could, and ringing with them more substantia! offerings totempt the patient’s appetite. They liked Joe, but as they turned away looked know- ingly at one another and remarked, ‘‘De way ob de transgressor is ha’d.’’ Further than this they all refuse to say anything against the wounded man, whose fate is connected with a story familiar to all the old residents inthe neighborhood. A few years ago two colored children lived in that portion of the county. They were understood to be the illegitimate offsprin of an old and wealthy citizen. he doy and girl rew up regarding each other witb tender af- ection. Afterthey were grown Emma Dun- can, the girl, went to live out. She was of light complexion, mild in her manner and well liked by all with whom she met. Among the younger part of the colored population Emma was very popular. She was among the first invited to any little social affair among the colored people around Ferguson. Lat- terly she was employed as cook at Mr. McCullough’s place. Here she was associated with Joe Shobey. Hers was the wellknown tale. She loved too well. Emma was nature’s bride. A few months later she paid the penalty of her com- plaisance with her life. She was buried, but the memory of the wrong done her was cherished by the companion of her childhood, from whose protection she had been removed. Her brother and her cousins were heard to vow to revenge the betrayai of the girl. Years panes away. The story of the poor girl had een almost forgotten, when the mysterious aftempt to assassinate Shobey revived it in the minds of the people who now wonder ifthe vow of vengeance for poor Emma Duncan’s wrong was not directed against Joe Shobey. ARRESTED ON SUSPICION. A young negro living near Woodstock was arrested on suspicion of having shot Shobey, and was taken to Clayton jail. He stoutly de- nies all knowledge of the shooting. The neighbors think that the story of Emma Duncan and the attempt on Shobey's life have some connection. The wounded man has been very generally liked in the neighbor- hood, and bis immediate associates prefer to os 2 him the victim of some unexplainable spite. A RESIDENCE BURGLARIZED. Died Without Medical Attendance—Items from North St. Louis. Branch No. 23, Journeymen Painters’ Union, willhavean important business meeting to- night. Mr.A. Moll of Twelfth and Chambers streets, with his family and a few invited guests, en- joyed a private picnic yesterday near the Belleville oluffs. Mr. Frank Prange, business manager of the Prange Bros.’ furniture manufactory, goes North to St. Paul to-night. Mr. Eddie Flannagan, son of Capt. Pat Flan- nagan of the Wabash Railroad, North St. Louis, is spending his vacation at Houston, Tex., and willattend the military encampment at Galveston. Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Gettys will celebrate the twenty-fifth anniversary of their wedding da next Thursday evening at 8 o’clock, at their residence, 1417 Penrose avenue. Capt. Peter Kims went up to Cap au Gris this morning to look after his steamer, J. G. Chapman, which is aground there with over | 2,000,000 feet of rafted lumber aboard. The officers. and members of Branch No. 846, Iron Hall, returned at lo clock this morn- ing from a pleasant railroad excursion to Quincy, III Some time during last night burglars en- tered the residence of D. M. Smith, northwest corner of Twenty-second and Paim streets, and stole a pair of pants and coat. There was $6 in currency in the pants. The work was done so quietly that none of the family were awakened. George Roe, a single man, aged 43, employed as a glass-cutter and boarding with John Lorence, 211 Ferry street, died suddenly last night without medicalattention. Overheating and drink are thoughtto have been the cause of his death. Charles Lang, a 30-year-old German board- ing at Main and O'Fallon streets, while asleep and in an intoxicated condition early this morning on a lumber pile at Second and North Market streets, fell off the nile. He had three ribs broken on his right side and other- wise was quite seriously injured. The boat race that was to have taken place yesterday afternoon between Philip Wagner and Henry Miller, at the foot of strehan street, was postponed until next Sunday. The large crowd that was gathered left much dis- rusted. The failure was occasioned by not ing able to procure the boats in time. A BIG MEETING.

Isaacs, Chairman, For Committee. It was intimated to-day by some parties in the wheat trade here that the standards rades fixed by the committee Saturday wera ower than those of last year, and this was done, it was said, to enable St. Louis to com. pete for Western wheat with Chicago, Toledo and other markets. The members of the com. mittee deny this, and claim that the [886 stan- dards are fuliy as high, if not higher, than those of 1835. W. T. Anderson Said the grade of No. 2 they fixed upon was liberal, but * up to St. Louis’ usual standard. Thos. Akin, the chairman of this committee, said: ‘‘The first wheat that ar- rived here, what is known asthe river wheat, was, as everyone knows, of tins quality, and was, as it always is, much better than railroad receipts, especially that coming from the West. Our present standard, perhaps, is not fully up to these first receipts. It would have been a manifest injustice to the Western and railroad trade to have made itso. The stock of No. 2 red we are now carrying in store is of fine quality and, while probably our grading hereafter of No. 2 may not quite reach the late standard, it will be sufficiently high to uphold St. Louis’ established repu- tation for fine wheat grades, and vet will en- able us to take in wheat from the railroads and give satisfaction to the country sbip- ers.“ Speaking about the late eomplaints rom Illinois shippers regarding St. Louis inspection, Joe Sherry remarked: ‘‘When [ was in Chicago lately I heard the same com- plaints airected against their grading of win- ter wheat. Strange to say, the country ship- pers claimed that Chicago’s grading was not up to that of St. Louis. Now, we know that these same parties claim that our grading is not up to Chicqago’s. There is Culver of Chi- cago, who has men all along the C. & A. Road trying to bring winter wheat to Chicago. The pate is 20 cents to St. Louis and 25 cents to Chicago, but Culver bas some- thing off from that, and the difference in freight between the two markets is only 2 or3 cents a hundred in favor of St. Louis, while Chicago is paying enough for No. 2 winter to more than offoet this difference. His men all write him that the C. & A.shippers are sending their wheat to St.Louis, claiming that St. Louis grading is so much more liberal that they can’t afford to ship to Chicago, even with the difference in price.’’ Joe Davidson, who has beenin Toledofora week, says that their No. 2 wheat isa higher grade than St. Louis; and that most of the wheat of fine quality and in elegant condi- tion that is coming in there is grading No. 3, greatly to the disgust of the shippers. He also states that there are 1,000 cars of wheat stand- ing on track at Toledo that have not been un- loaded into elevators yet. DR. VAN STUDDIFORD’S DEATH. The Old and Esteemed Physician Passes Away Surrounded by His Family. Dr. Henry Van Studdiford, one of the old- est and most widely known members of the medical profession in this city, died yesterday, morning at his residence, 1623 Olive street. Two months ago Dr. Van Studdiford was at- tacked by a kidney complaint commonly inet- dent to old age, und was obliged to give up his extensive visiting practice. He was first attacked six years ago, but temporarily overcame the complaint then, as well as once subsequently. The third attack, however, proved of a more serious nature. The old physician at once saw that the end was 4 roaching, and without delay adjusted bis af- fairs. He consulted with Dr. Waldo Briezs and calmly discussed the end. He was aware that a cure could not be effected, and asked that the treatment be directed ‘towards alle viating the — pain. On last Friday Mes. Capt. J. OC. Thompson of Fort Davis, Tex., ® married daughter, arrived in the ci in re- sponse to a telegram to attend h father $ death-bed. Saturday evening Dr. Van Stud r Com- shels of ancis, Louis ditord became unconscious, and at 8:20 yes- terday morning passed away surrounded by his family. At 9:30 O clock to-morrow morning the fu- neral services will be conducted at St. John's Catholic Church, Sixteenth and Chestnut streets, by Rev. Father Hennessy. Dr. Henry Van Studdiford was one of the old est physicians and residents of this city. He was born at Parcipany, Morris County, N. J., April 2, 1816. At 3 years of age he was left an orphan in the care of relatives, who directed his education to prepare him for the Presbyterian ministry. On finishing his preparatory education, however, he ex- . — a strong desire to study medicine. e graduated from the University of Pennsy!- Vania and * the practice of medicine at Madison, N. J. He moved to this city in 189 when St. Louis had a population of 14,000 in- habitants. His mar e with Miss Marwaret Thomas, daughter of Col. Martin Thomas, who then commanded the United States arsenal, resulted in a large family. Thomas and Charles Van Studdiford, Mrs. Brantley and Miss Katie Van Studdiford reside in this city, the latter with her mother at the family residence. Mrs. J. C. Thompson, a married daughter, resides at Fort Davis, Tex., but i pane — present and will remain until after the neral. Ingalls’ Savings Bank.

MARBLEHEAD, Mass., August 2.—The English cutter Galatea was first sighted at 5:30 last even ing, by Chief Isaac Atkins of the Marble Head Fire Department, who had been on the iook- out for the yacht since early morning. The Chief immediately annouficed the fact and the news spread from lip to lip, and was carried vp into the town and across the harbor as swiftly as though by telegraph key and elec- tricsounder. The Chief never sounded an ylarm of ire which met with a more prompt response. Everybody came tumbling out of their houses, thrusting their arms through their coat-sleeves astheyran. The wharves, rocks and headlands were black with people within twenty minutes and almost on the instant came the first. Soar from the cannon on Fort Sewell. It re-echoed from rock to rock round the headland and was taken up from deck to deck of the yachts in the harbor by the howitzer. The gun of Gerry No.5 was brought out on State street and fired continuously. On came the yacht, and eagerly every eye was strained to catch the first outlines of her hull andtrim. She made Point Neck at 7:18, and was escorted round the licht- house by a perfect swarm of cat- boats and dories to her anchor: age just below the America. The anchor dropped from the bows at exactly 7:20, and found bottom in an American harbor for the first time in —— days since leay- ‘ the other side. 12 which could float was utilized, and had its freight at once. All the boatmen reapeda rich harvest. The decorations of the Galatea presented a very picturesque ap- earance, With its crew of seventeen sturdy zritish tars in oil-skins aud bright yachting caps. Everybody admitted she wasa hand- some eraft. She carried the bowsprit only, afterthe yacht America style, with no jib- boom and her topmast was sent down. ‘‘And by George,’’ said an excited Mar- bicheader has got the gen- uine Puritan stern. There it was— the smooth run and long hang with an exceed- ingly graceful outline, though different in some respects from the Puritan. There will be intense interest from this time out in Marble head in the coming race. Both Lieut. and Mrs. lienn, Who accompanied him across the ocean, express themselves as highly pleased with their reception. The interior of the Galatea is fitted like a boudoir and is very sumptuous. There are elegant transoms and divans and a rare collection of Eastern curios, relics of the Mediterranean of Africa and of other journeyings of the owner. In reply to an inquiry as to the cause of the dela on the assage, Lieut. Henn said: It was so smooth that you could have crossed in an open boat and that ex plains our tedious journey.’’ On the ccurse down from Thatcher’s Islands, the Galatea fell in with a number of cruisers of the Hull Yacht Club, which came close and saluted the En- glishman. Soon after her anchor had been dropped, the dory reception committee gave three cheers for the lady who crossed the water, and three more for Lieut. Henn. At dark the Marbiehead people in honor of the arrival fired a cannonade and illuminated the shore with pyrotechnics. Several members of the Eastern Yacht Club and prominent yachtsmen sent their cards and congratula- tions to Lieut. and Mrs. Henn on their safe arrival. During the whole of the evening boats foated around the cutter and scores of interested yachtmen scanned her outlines with critical eyes, and considerable surprise was expressed at finding her so high out of water, as she had been represented in pub- lished sketches as lying rather low than other- wise. When the fog lifted at about4o’clock inthe afternoon Lieut. Henn found that he was only two miles off Thatcher’s Island, for which he had shaped his course. He had not been able to make a reckoning for two days, owing tothe fog. After she left Southampton she sued to Piymouth, where she lay for weveral days Waiting tor wind. This time was utilized in making preparations for her ocean voyage. — — — — HANLAN’S HAND, It Will Be Shown When the Proper Time Arrives. By Telegraph to the PosT-DIsraTcnH. WORCESTER, Mass., August 2.—Edward Hanlan, the oarsman, was slown the state- ment made by Courtney that he would row lim any distance, and replied that he is will- ing to meet Courtney and row him on any fair water, and, In this connection, said Han- lau, let me make a statement in answer to Pandragon,’’ that English writer quoted in the Clipper this week, which insinuates that he (lianian) was afraid to row Beach in England. Hanlan said that for ten years he has never refused to row any one at any time or place. The last two years are the only ones that he ever gave any One a chance to find fault, and curing this time he shifted so much from here to Australia that he could not keep in condi- tion. He has rowed only at Toronto and a few races during the present season so far, instead ofa dozen races as usual. He intended to row beach on his arrival in England and „rote to Ennis to make a match for lim, but Ennis wrote back that Teemer and Ross had the first right toa race. He in- tended to let them have it and then challenge the winner, but neither was man enough to face the Australian. Gaudaur is the only one that has made a match, and if he beats Beach Hanlan will row him, otherwise he will row Beach when he goes to England, because, he says, he is bound to have the championship laurels back again. Hewill refuse hereafter to be talked into a race when he is not in con- dition. He has had experience and paid for it, and will row in the future only when he is hand- lin’ his boat.“ Hanlan and Ten Eyck intend to row double in afew races and otfer to row Hosmer and McKay at Nantucket, at any time within two weeks for from 85, 0% to $6,000 a side. Hanlan received to-night two new doubles, The deposit on the Ten Eyck- O' Toole boat race was not ree up last night according to agreement, and Ten Eyck claimed the forfeit of £50, although he is willing to make another mutch on the same conditions, The agreement said the final deposit should be made July 29, but O'Tooie's friends, through a misappre- bension, understood that the date was two Cays before the race. They are borne out in this by the witnesses. O’Toole made his final deposit to-day and it was accepted by the stakeholder, who says he will give the whole pile to the winner of the race, or to the man first to put in an appearance. There is consid- able feeling here over the {negligence of O Toole's friends to make the eposit. — — — Hanlan Backed. Apropos to Courtney’s expressed desire to row, Richard K.

At Philadelphia, Saturday, the Browns took their revenge out of the Athletics by slugging Hart for 13 runs, while the Athletics made only 4 tallies out of the 7 hits made off Hudson. } In the sixth inning, ona questionable decision of Umpire Walsh, Comiskey drew his men off the field, but Mr. Von der Ahe after some delay ordered them to play. At Boston the Maroons made only 1 run while the bean-edters rolled up 11 off Healey. The batting was about even, but the Maroons made thirteen errors which enabled the Bostons to score 10 runs in the first in- ning. The Maroons’ only run was scored in the third inning on Cahill’s three-bagger and a wild throw. Other Games. At Philadelphia—Detroit, 6, Philadelphia, 3. At New Tork--New York,3; Chicago, 2.

To-morrow the Browns, after an absence of three weeks, will appear at Sports- man’s Park against the Metropolitans of New York, otherwise known as Roseman’s Indians. In honor of the Champhans return, ladies will be admitted free. The batteries will probably be Uaruthers and Bushong and Mays and Crotty. The Mets and Baltimores are lighting for the tail end of the Association, Bill Gleason and John Kelly. Shortstop Bill Gleason of the Brown Stock- ing Club and Umpire John Kelly of the Ameri- can Association are at outs with each other, Bill is what the boys call a ‘‘scrapper’’ and prides himself on his fistic talent. Kelly is an umpire who boasts that ‘‘no ball player ever giv’ him a nows he is 8 Bill, when he Tight, is ready to fly off at a tangent, and Kellx, when he thinks he is right, is ready to fly off at a player. The manner in which these two worthies fell out with each other is told by an observer as follows: Not long ago in a game, over which Mr. Keily acted as superviser, Bill stole a base, and as he put the finishing touch to the great slide he had executed Kelly beckoned him to comein. Bill was safe. He knew he was safe, and therefore be failed to respond. Kelly trotted down to the base with his quick step and remarked: Lomo off o' dat base, will you?“ No,“ said Bill; I'm all right.’’ „Come off o' dat base I tell you,’’ said Kelly, and don't try to come any o' your grund- stand business on me.“ ‘ crushed the shortstop and he came off,’’ but ashe did so gave Mr. Kelly to un- derstand that a meeting at the season’s end a 3 8 ö Barr, win, Radbourne an We are the acknowledged leaders * $1.00, $1.45, $2.00 and $3.00. with him in a twenty-four-foot ring with hard gloves, Queensberry rules, would be a pleasure sweeter than honey. Should Kelly accept Bill’s defi half New York would go down to see the scrap.“ TRE OLD RED STOCKINGS. Their Triumphs and Vicissitudes—A Game Where 103 Runs Were Scored, Eighteen sixty-nine was the great base ball year of Cincinnati, saysthe Cincinnati Star. Then the Red Stockings made a record that has never since been approached. They played fifty-seven games all over the country, from Maine to California, and wonthem all. From November, 1868, until the middle of July, 1870, they never suffered a defeat, winning over seventy games straight. This splendid record has by many been attributed to luck or to the weakness of the clubs they encountered, but from the following story of the pores of that season, it will be seen that both theories are Wrong. The Red Stockings won their games on account ot their splendid discipline and the supefior vim and energy of their playing. The officers of the club in 1869 were A. B. Champion, President, and John Joyce, Secre- tary. They received no salaries, and when they traveled with the club they paid their own expenses. Base ball was not then a money-making business. It was supported by the gentlemen of the city who loved the game for sport's sake, and who were willing to give both their time and money to its as- sistance. There was scarcely a gentleman of means in Cincinnati who was not a member of the club and interested in its support. The club for do was composed as follows: Dug Allison, catcher; Asa Brainard, pitcher; Charles Gould, first base; Charles Sweezy, sec- ond base; Fred Waterman, third base; George Wright, shortstop; Andy Leonard, left field; oe i Wright, center field; Cal McVey, right eld. In those days a ball that contained a great deal of rubber was used, and the hitting was lively. The game was intended to be a bat - ting one. Sometimes as many as thirty or forty balls would be pitched to a player before he struck, and generally when he hi the ball he would give the flelders some tall running todo. There were no leagues or associations, and every club stood on its own bottom. The salaries were nearly as good as now, con- sidering the very limited fleld the players were restricted to. There were not many clubs in the country that owned inclosed grounds, and most games were played on commons. Harry and George Wright received about $1,600, Watterman and Brainard $1,200 and the other players about $100a month, or about $800 for the season. Having defeated all opponents in the spring of 1869, the Ked Stockings determined upona second Eastern trip, and accordingly, after much correspondence, a three weeks’ pro- gramme was arranged. All was ready fora start except the money to pay expenses, and it was determined to give a game on Saturday, May 30, Decoration day, with the Live Oaks, to raise this. A Decoration day so generally observed Cincinnati had never seen bofore, nor has it since. Everything was favyor- fairly drowning the hopes of the oflicers of the club. The start had to be made day, and there was not a cent in the treasury. fice of Mr. Champion on Third street, and was attended by Thomas G. Smith, now Pres- ident of the Board of Public Affairs; Col. Nick Anderson, Howard Kinkle, Prof. Noble, the artist; S. 8. Davis, the banker; E. E. Townley of the Eureka Insurance Company, the late gan, A. T. Goshorn, Champion, Joyce and others. Atthis meeting a subscription paper was passed around, and on the strength of it Mr. Davis produced money enough from his bank to pay for the tickets to Boston and 550 for expenses. told in the words of the President of the club, to whose exertions much of its unparalleled success was due. ; Said Mr. Champion: We started for Bos- ton on Monday morning, with our tickets in our pockets and 550 in the treasury. Our first stop was at Yellow Springs, where the game was spoiled by rain, and, after paying our hotel bills, there was but little of $0ieft. After many struggies we finaily got to New York, where our game withthe Mutuals brought us $300, and the one the day after with the Atlan- tics $600 more, so that at last the anxieties of our treasurer were over, From this you can see that traveling with a base Dal! position in the good old days.’’ Mr. Champion grows enthusiastic as he re- calls the old days of the Red Stockings’ glory, He does not regard base ball playing at all improved, If tne same sort of a lively rubber ball was used, and the rules regarding balls and strikes were unchanged, the scores would run up as they did years ago. Brainard he re- gards as swift a pitcher as any of the present day. Of Johnny Joyce he speaks in terms of the highest praise. lle is the father of base ball as it is to- day, ' says Mr. Champion. ‘‘He went East with the club in 1868 and saw the necessity of discipline and that base ball must be reduced toa business, Before this paid players prac- ticed or not, justas they pleased. In the . of 1869 he insisted that the players should execute written contracts, in which it was stipulated that they should have regular hours of practice, should enter upon the game as a business, and that bad habits and inebri- ety were not to be tolerated. He also first suggested the rules that no player should drink, be loose in his habits, that on all trav- wee, bag! he should sleepin his hotel, be in bed y 10 p. m., remain in the hotel during the morning, and not tire himself out by walking around the city, andthat only a light lunch should be eaten on the days ball was played, These rules were adopted, and to them the success of the club wus due. He-was also a fine judge of a player, and it was he who found outand broughtinto the club Allison and 14 and it was he, too, who always in- sisted that Brainard was a fine pitcher, and who kept him in his position.’’ Henry Miller, the head clerk of the steamer Guiding Star, so pleasantly known to thou- sands of Cincinnatians, was the official scorer of the old club, and is full of reminiscences of those times. He -remembers all the games, apparently, as well as if they were played yes- terday. There were big scores in those days, says Henry. Here's a iew of them: 80 to5 at Springfleld, Mass.; 65 to 1 at Omaha, where the boys ran the bases go fast that lots of their runs were missed; 66to 4 and 76 tos at San Francisco; 103 tos with the Buckeyes here at home. There were some‘close scores, too, as 15 to 14 with the Forest Citys of Rockport, and 17 to 17 with the Haymakers, when the latter threw up the game in the fifth inning, claim- ing that the umpire was unfair. Thatis what led to the rule permitting the umpire to decide the game 9 to 0 against any club that withdrew from a game without his permission.’’ Gossip of the Game. The Athletics now have six pitchers under contract. of players. Mike Scanlon says he is going to try and have the rules revised so that his men can use cricket bats. ea hs The Browns are girding up their loins with a grim smile and frown whenever King, Hecker and Ramsey are mentioned.

Why the Detroit base ball team should swoop down on Garrett, Ind., and annihilate their local base ball club by a score of 43 to 3 is be- yond the comprehension of the most avari- cious base ball crank in the country.—[Lan- sing Republican. The Orange (N. J.) Athletic Club defeated the Watsessings by a score of 6 to5. Stagg of Yale, who pitched for Orange, made a wonder- ful record, striking out twenty men, assisting twenty-four times and holding the opposing batters down to two bits. At Union Park yesterday, Joe Murphy, pitching for the Priekly Ashes, allowed only twenty-seven men ofthe Eagles to come to batinthe nine innings. This was one, two, three order with a-vengeance, and was quite a remarkable performance. The Muscots defeated the Barr’s Latest Styles at the Christian Brothers’ Grounds yes- terday, by the score of 18to3. The features of the game were the battery work of Losson and Wachter, Losson striking eighteen. They would like to hear from the Centrals and the Charter Oaks. A game of ball was played yesterday be- tween the Great Western Printing Company and the August Gast nine, for the benefit of a sick and disabled printer, at Amateur Park, and resulted in favor of the Great Western printers by a score of 6 to5. Billy Barclay’s playing was the feature of the game, and to im the Great Western owe their victory. There was a very interesting game at Wash- ington, Mo., yesterday. The Mound City Club went down to do up the country boys, but got the hoot on the wrong leg, the score standing 10 to 2 in favor of Washington. This is the second game in which the Washingtons have beaten the Mound City nine, the other score on July 1 being (to 2 against the St. Louismen, Ineach game the Mound Citys have received eight goose eggs. Duffy, tne St. Louis piteher, did well yesterday, but had miserable support. The Washington Club would like to hear from some frst-class city amateur clubs. James H. O’Rourke of the New Yorks, in a letter to the Sporting Life, has the following appeal forthe umpire: ‘‘Umpires need pro- tection from the captains and their aids. Charge then these captains, if necessary, in- dividually, with the obligation of respectfully submitting to every decision in silence, ex- cepting wherein such decision involves a mis- interpretation or misconstruction of the rules; then, gentlemen of the League, you shall have performed a commendable act, and have achieved more in the direction of improving the system of umpiring than all the legislation heretofore enacted on the subject.’’ Terry is now Brooklyn’s winning pitcher. His feat of retiring the St. Louis Club without abit was remarkable. The Missourians were never before treated in that manner. Other pitchers have not allowed an opposing side a single hit, but it was always against a weak nine. It has been done by Association pitchers — six times: Hecker, twice against the Al- leghenies and Baltimores; Atkisson, twice aguinst the Metropolitans and Allegheuies; Morris, once against the Alleghenies, and Terry, against St. Louis, Of the League pitchers, the superannuated Tommy Bond has ing, as has also Galvin while with Buffalo, Larry Corcoran, Fred Gold- smith.

NEW Tonk, August 2.—Interest in racing events In this section has increased with rapid strides since the opening of the spring meet- ing of the American Jockey Clubin Jerome Park. During the current week and on to the tensity. The, Champion Stakes at one mile anda half, to be run at Monmouth Park next Saturday, the first day of the second summer meeting, will bring together the cracks of the year and a mighty throng of devotees of the sport and betting ring. The following horses are probable start- ers in the race: Dew Drop, Troubadour, Miss Woodford, Volante, Ben Ali, Tyrant, The Bard, Charity, Favor, Electric and Ten Booker. If only half of these named to start appear at the post they will make the sensa- tional race of the year, Volante is probably the most dangerous of the Western racers. His easy victories in the Excelsior Stakes and Cup at Saratoga will insure his carrying a large bundle of money, and Ben Ali, consid- ering his late fast race, will be intrusted with the fortunes of many &dmirers of this son of Virgil. New York and Brooklyn dele- gations will pile a heap of money on Dew Drop. They believe the race will be agift to the Queen of Fillies, for the conditions let her in at 100 pounds. She oarried 120 as lightly asa bag of feathers through the mud on Saturday when she won the Palisade Stakes. The handleis of Miss Woodford and Trouba- dour laugh when questioned as to the truth of the sensational rumors about their breaking down. The great mare is as fitto run to-day as when she romped in winner of the first sweepstakes at Saratoga onthe opening day of the meeting. Troubadour simply struck his leg at Chicago and was let up in his training. He has indulged in a quiet vacation at Brighton for the last ten days, taking walks on the verge of the beach combers to cool and strengthen Heis better tittedtorun now than when he landed the Suburban. The result of the champion race, whatever it may be, will doubtless lead to exciting matches in the near future and add zest to the rich Omnibus stakes, with $10,000 added money, also ata mile and a half, to be pun on the Thursday fol- lowing the Champion stakes. The race js for %-year-olds. Dew Drop, The Bard, Charity, Siiver Cloud, Eollan, Quito, Rock and Rye, and 154 other royalty bred colts and fillies are nominated for the race. Chicago Races, At Chicago Saturday the winners were: Three-quarters, Littrell; one mile, Sir Jo- seph; one and one-eighth, Montana Regent; mile heats, Billy Gilmore; one mile hurdle, Guy. Monmouth Winners. The winners at Monmouth Park, N. J., Saturday were: One and one-sixteenth, Three Cheers; three-quarters, Queen Elizabeth; one and one-eighth, Dew Drop; one and a half, Bonanza; five-eighths, Young Duke; one and n Whizgig; steeplechase, Brae- wood. Saturday’s Trotting Matinee. The trotting matinee-of the Gentlemen’s Driving Club at the Fair Grounds Saturday was well attended. The members’ trot, mile heats, was won by L. Spellbrink’s Louis S., in three straight heats, 2:34 being the fastest time. The pacing race was won by Fred Wagner’s Rosstrevor, Harry Parker getting but one heat. John Roche's at Tom won the three-minute trot. The most interesting es ofthe matinee was the contest of pacers, arty Parker and Rosstrevor being so nearly matched that their respective admirers are trying to arrange a match Between them. Rattling Rounds. In the boxing match, last Saturday night, at Ridgewood Park, Brooklyn, between Jack Kilrain of Boston, and Jack Ashton of Prov- idence, eight rattling rounds were fought. It was a desperate battle in each round, and, when crowd jam upon the stage in the last round and pulled the men from a savage clinch, each ter’s friends claimed a vie- tory, but the referee gave the fight to Kilrain. 828 pounded his n head while 8 did nearly all ot his work on the 7.

N He Marries a Pretty Girl in Oregon and Is Going to Open a Hotel. The proverbial luck of Jack Dempsey, the midcdle- weight champion, says the Sun, amiled on him afresh on Tuesday, when he wedded one of the prettiest girls in Portland, Ore. Miss Maggie Brady is known as one of the beauties of the wide-awake Oregon town. What makes the marriage doubly interesting to the cham- pion’s New York friends is that the bride is herse!fa Gotham girl by birth. She isthe duughter of James Brady, a master black- smith of this city, who settled in Portland twelve years ago, and by thrift and industry has become one of its solid citizens and a 4 —. owner. Jack's father-in-law is mas- ter machinist of the big car-building shop in Portiand. Miss Brady went West with her father when she was a curly-headed little girl of eight summers. She is now a stately dark- baired girl just turned 20. A cabinet portrait of the bride rested last night in a place of honor on the mantel of Ed- ward Touhey's home at 204 Manhattan avenue, Greenpoint. Edward Touhey is the bride’s uncle, and the bride’s grandmother, a pleasant old lady, took the portrait down and praised the comely features. It showed the full face of a tall young woman, whose dark brown hair gracefully feil in a wavy bang over a high forehead, and was caught up in a fash- ionable coiffure behind. The grandmother said that Jack’s enthusiastic letter to his mother in Williamsburgh about the charming girl he had won for a wife told nothing but the truth. She is opposedto her husband following pugilism any longer as a profession,’’ she said; and it is true that he has given it up for good to please her. He is going to open a hotel in Portland when he comes back from the wedding tour.“ If Dempsey holds to his present resolution to leave the prize ring for good, he will go into sporting history as a champion who never was beaten. He was born near Kildare, Ireland, on December 15, 1862, and is now inhis 24th year. His first appearance in public occurred on New Year’s day three years ago, when he wrestled collar and elbow at Harry Hill's. Previous to that he had earned his living asa boiler-maker in Greenpoint, under Mr. Touhey, who is himself an ex-professor of boxing. His first tight with fists took place on April 7, 1883, when he defeated Ned McDonald. Since tuen he has won thirty-one battles, de- feating, among others, George FuNjames, Tom Clearv, Jack Keenan, Jack Fogarty, and Pete McCoy. His iast victory was won from George La Blanche, the Marine. Dempsey fought four drawn battles. The Turners. Atthe last meeting the active members of the Centrals elected the following Arrange- ments Committee for the summer-nights fes- tival, to be held at Koerner’s Garden August 21: Fred Holle, First Speaker; Louis Eilers, Second Speaker; John C. Meyers, Sécretary; Arthur Bosch, Treasurer; Wm. Kennett, Prof Pfaff, R. Schramm, Prof. Wm. Gehrmann, . Kruer, Frank Preissle, J. Gruen, General Arrangements. Several of the rowing clubs, the Missouui Gymnasium boys, nearly all the Turners of the different societies and several! singing societies have kindly volunteered to assist. Wm. Hartman has just returned from a month’s honeymoon at Coney Island. He is now getting into trim for the Belleville turn- fest and intends making it rather hot for the first-prize competitors. He wants to add the first prize to the prize he earried off some six weeks ago—a handsome young bride. The 4x5 foot picture representing the mem- bers of the Central Society, kindly donated by Messrs. Setzer and Roth, is nearing its com- pletion. It will be hungin the large hall over the bust of Father Jahn, with due cere- monies. Frank Preissle is after blood, as it were. He would like to meet some of the local club- swingers for the amateur championship of St. Louis and a gold medal. There are several good ones at the West St. Louis Turner Hall; perhaps they will accommodate him. No jug- giing; points to count. Reinhart Schramm has added boxing to his already long list of accomplishments, and under the tutorship of Fred Medart is fast be- coming the Charley Mitchell of the Turners. He is not cut out jor a pugilist, however, be- ing too good natured: he is doing it for prac- tice only. Every man should know how, Perhaps the hardest worker among the St, Louis Turners is Louis Eilers. He has not missed an exercise evening during tue six years of his beingaTurner. Hard and regular practice is what counts. He is one of the best, if not the best, all around athletes of St. Louis, and he is thought to be a dangerous aspirant for first honors at the Belleville tournament. The Quincy (III.) Turner Society, although being one of the youngest in the St. Louis dis- trict, has, since the completion of its new hall, inereased its membership from 140 to nearly 400. The Quincy boys are hard workers, and if the membership of their Verein increases at the rate it has been doing, it will, without doubt, be the largest in the Bezirk, The Quincys took home with them more than their share of the prizes from the last annual Turnfest. 3 New One Hundred Yards Record, A.

KATE LOWREYW’S DESPERATE FIGHT. Chastised the Doctor—A Brute’s Suicide— Accideutally Shot—Illinois Items. MARSHALL, August 2.—Frank Tingley of Auburn drove Miss Kate Lowrey in a buegy from the city yesterday afternoon under pre- tense of taking her home. Under a covered bridge he made a desperate attempt to commit a criminal assaultupon her. She sprang irom the buggy and he pursued her, but assistance was at hand. The girl was discovered nearly nude. Tingley is in jail. BEARDSTOWN, August 2.—Miss Kate Kerr, a girl of sixteen, had a quarrel with her parents and disappeared. She was discovered on a search warrant in the basement of a doctor's residence almost nude. The parents waited upon the doctor last night and severely horse- whipped him. GALENA, August 2.—Conrad Messner, alias Wiseman, who whipped his 12-year-old son to death, was found dead in his cell at the County Jail yesterday. His relatives refused to take the body. He would probably have been lynched. It was shown that he had mutilated the boy ina shocking manner.

NEW YORK, August 2.—A knife thrust under the eye that James Doyle received in a fracas atan early hour on Tuesday morning was, in the opinion of the doctors of the Governor Hospital, one of the most desperate that ever caine to their notice. The knife entered at the inner angle of the orbit and penetrated the lachrymal bone, passing downward and back- ward and slightly inward—in all three and a quarter inches. The house surgeon says that the blade must have entered as far as the messial line and, _ gliding along tie vomer bone, struck the body of the sphenoid bone. Before Decyle was brought to the hospital, one of his friends at- tempted to extract the knife and in so doing, broke it off atthe rivet. To remove the blaue was very difficult. Dr. Brendon procured a common file and made a small groove on both sides of the blade, and with an instrument known as a lion forceps began to pull. The doctor is a muscular man, weighing nearly two hundred pounds, and he had to use his full strength with both hands on the forceps to remove the knife-blade, while the night orderly firmly held the patient’s head between his hands with a vice-like grip. Doyle never winced during the terrible ordeal, but bore his sufferings with admirabie bravery. Don’t hawk, hawk, blow, spit, and disgust everybody with your offensive breath, but use Dr. Sage’s Catarrh Remedy and end it. — Cl rr Or Entirely Too Frisky.

CINCINNATI., O., August 2.—The intense feeling with which the creditors of the estate of the late Archbishop Purcell have regarded the defaulting assignee and the various hin drances thrown inthe way of getting their just debts from the estate broke out ina most extraordinary and sensational way at a meet- ng of them held Sunday afternoon attended persons. When t three hundred OY cation dying he said his Archbishop Purcell was debts should be paid out of the church funds, because, his loans having been expended in building new churches. and educating riests, it w roperly a diocesan debt. rustee Manuix avin efaulted about $400,000, anda motion now being argued in court to quash the indictment against him, the creditors have felt that forbearance on their part has ceased to be a virtue, and a meeting was called. At the meeting a petition was presented to the Secretary, read and unanimously carried which is addressed to the Pope and demands the recall from this diocese of Archbishop Elder, for alleged lying and swindling. It re- cites various instances which they claim sup- = these propositions, and says: The lying, oly tricks anc open efforts at swind- ling of our represe tative here have created 4 very bad impression among our citizens and have driven thousands away trom the church. People not familiar with the casuistry of moral theology or can- on law, and denied the gift of infaiiibility to guide them, conclude that a man who steals anothér man’s purse or good name is not fit to adininister the sacrament. We know noth- ing of the archbishop’s antecedents, but from what we know of his present actions, we feel sure we are justified in demanding his re- call. The petition was ordered sent to the Pope, to Cardinal Simeoni, and distributed through- out the country generally. The meeting then passed resolutions condemning Mannix, the defaulting trustee; asking Father Ward. his astor, to excommunicate him, and should e tail, requesting all good Catholics to leave the congregation which he persists in disgrac- ing by holding membership therein.

Two Brothers, Separated in Childhood, Meet by Chance in a Hotel. By Telegraph to the POST-DISPATCH. NEW York, August 2.—A pleasant-faced man arrived at the new Columbia Hotel, at Cape May, and registered as Joseph B. Logan, Min- nesota. Friday afternoon about the same hour, another entry was made on the same book. it read, C. G. Logan, Baltimore. By chance, the two men were seated beside -@ach other at the same table in the dining- room, and the other guests of the house were attracted by a curious resemblance between the two apparent strangers. Grad- uaily the objects ot the oft-repeated glances began to gaze at each other, each considering the other the object of the curiosity. When they left the tabie they both went directly to the office, and with one accord reachea for the register book. At this juncture Mr. Foss, the clerk, simplified matters by introducing them. An enger asking of questions fol- lowed, and there was a ciasping of hands and a simultaneous exclamation of ‘‘brother,’’ and arm in arm the two walked quickly into the puarior. The story was soon told. At the ages of 8and 10 respectively, their pa- rents having died, the two brothers were put under the guardianship of an uncle, but for various reasons they both became discon- tented and the elder ran away, since which time nothing bad been heard of him. Thetwo men seemed overjoyed at the meeting, and were objects of universal comment the whole evening, as they walked the parlor arm in arm, eugerly conversing.

Officer Hogan was standing on the southwest corner of Sixth and Market streets Saturday night when a man holding both sides of his abdomen came up to him and begged him to send for the Dispensary wagon, as he had been seriously cut. The wagon was sent for at once. At the Dispensary the wounded man said his name was Ed Brennan and that he lived at 232312 Franklin avenue. Dr. Dorsett examined the wound. It had been inflicted by a long dagger, which enetrated the right side of the abdomen just elow the rib. It was five inches deep and considered fatal. Brennan, when asked to make a statement, said he had been inthe Drum saloon, where he had had a few glasses of beer, and when he came out he was ac- costed by two. men, one of whom said: Lou are one “of those people, are you, and then stabbed him be- fore he could make any response. As there were over half a dozen hackmen at the corner of Broadway and Market, none of whom knew anything of the stabbing, tee po- lice are of the opinion that the difficulty did not occur there, and that Brennan is conceal- ing the truth. Last night Sergt. O'Malley and Officer James Fox arrested Pat Carroll at his home, 115 South Sixth street, on suspicion of being the party who did the stabbing. He de- nies all knowledge of it. THE INDIGNANT RACKET. How a Passenger Won and Lost the Sym- pathies of a Street Car Audience. Cable train No. 39 was well crowded on its down town tripat8o’clock last evening, At Eighteeneh street a young man boarded the rear car, but did not get further than the foot board. Whenthe conductor approached the passenger the latter indignantly asked if the soulless corporation must endanger his life to coliect his fare while hanging in that perilous position. The passengers waxed warm at the speech, and shared his indignation, but the conductor was not affected by the eloquence. He waited right there quietly listening to the same sentimentin agreat many different forms. At the first stop he usbered the angry passen- ger into the vacant place, and said: ‘‘Now I want your fare.’’ The 8 renewed his indignant speech, to which the conductor made some angry answers, continuing to demand his fare. The man stood up to facilitate the search for the —— — which had already con- tinued some minutes, greatly to the amuse- ment of the passengers and the discomfort of the conductor. The latter stopped the car to await the finding of the fare, which had the effect of discom esting the amused passen- rs and amusing the discomforted conductor. bout this time it became apparent that the indignant patron didn't have the nired nickel. A ‘‘scrap’’ ensued, and when the car started up in the load was lighter by one assenger, Who was reclini in the gutter on urteenth street, near ranklin avenue, where he had been thrown by the conductor.

The Judge Takes a Deep Interest in the Success of the Democratic Party—Cleve- land Growing Stronger with His Party- The Pan-Electric Investigation—A Good Opinion of Garland and Goode. By Telegraph to the Post-DISPATCH. New York, August 2.—‘‘I am simply a ghost waiting on the banks of the river Styx for the summons to cross.’’ The speaker was Allen G. Thurman of Ohio, who sat in the cozy drawing-room of his daughter’s handsome residence at Richmond Hill, N. I., Friday evening. Mr. Thurman is spending a few days with his daughter, Mrs, Cowles, who is the accomplished wife of Lieutenant-Com- mander Cowles of the United States navy. The remark quoted above was addressed to à re- porter of the Post-DispaTcH. The speaker had the appearance, however, of a very lively ghost. He was seated in a large easy chair, the historical bandana lying in his lap. He sinoked a mild cigar. Mrs. Thurman sat near by at a table, apparently busy with some sew- ing. His daughter and her sister-in-law with the private secretery made up the group. Mr. Thurman’s hair and whiskers are quite white, but he has the clear, healthy complex ion of a much younger man, and his eyes shone with all of their old intellectual vigor. His hair was brushed back from his broad forehead, displaying his strong, clear-cut features to the best advantage. Judge Thurman is the representative of a class of publie men that is unfortunately fast passing away. In spite of all the honors that have been heaped upon him and his great attainments, his manner is simplicity itself. Judge Thurman has avoided the interviewers for some time, ciniming that he was out of politics and had nothing to * The PoOsT-DISPATCH repre- sentative on his way to Richmond Hill had been overtaken by aturious July storm and there must have been something in his appear- ance to arouse the compassion of the venera- ble Democratic leader, for he very soon launched out inageneral conversation and spoke of several matters of public interest. OUT OF POLITICS. I am out of politics,’’ he began, and the | only thing I can state positively is that there are not enough steam engines in the country to draw me into office again. But while I am out of politics, ltuke as deep an interest as ever 1 did in the success of the Democratic party and the triumph of its principles.“ ‘‘Judge, whatis the opinion of the Ohio Democracy regarding Mr. Cleveland and his Administration?“ My judgment is that Mr. Cleveland is grow - ing stronger with his party. That seems to be the opinion in Ohio. Icannot speak for other Stutes, as Ihave remained very close at home and haven’t had an opportunity of judg ng. At first there was some complaint, I beileve, because Mr. Cleveland did not turn the Re- publicans out fast enough, but he appears to have improved in that respect, or the Demo- crats have become less impatient, for he has been steadily gaining in strength and popu— larity. There may be some Democrats in Ohio who are not yet satisfied with the Presi- dent. I should not be avrprised it there were, as ne could hardiy be expected to please every one. That, I believe, is regarded as something beyond the human power. But in judging Mr.Cieveliand’s Administration one must take into consideration the difficuities that beset him at the start. It was not like one Republican succeeding another, or a con- tinuation of the same political succession. The Democratic party had been out of power for a long time, and Democrats were naturally a littie impatient at any delay. Mr. Cleveland has demonstrated one thing, I think, to the satisfaction of everybody, and that is that he is AN HONEST, COURAGEOUS MAN, and intends to do as neariy right as he knows how. There is no doubt of his sincerity and his courage. People admire courage and they appreciate honesty. Knowing Mr. Cleveland to possess both, they can overiook minor de- fects.’’ ‘*Do you think Mr. Cleveland will be a can- diaate tor re-election?’’ It is too early to say much about that. As I have said, he appears to be gaining in popu- larity, and if he continues to do so 1 cannot see anything to preveat his renomination and re-election. I know of no one who is in train- ing against him. Do you?’’ ‘*Have you heard much comment on the Pan-electric investigation in Ohio?“ Not much since the report of the commit- tee was made. Judge Thurman paused a moment, and then continued very deliber- ately: 1 knew Mr. Garland when we were in the Senate together, and formed avery high opinion of his character and integrity. Ido not think Mr. Gariand could knowingly be guilty of a corrupt act, and Ido not believe that the President would keep him in his pres- ent position a moment if he thought Mr. Gar- land was dishonest. Mr. Garland's friends— those who know him personaily—have the greatest confidence in his integrity. Mr. Cleveland's whole course from the beginning of his Administration has been opposed to the idea of his COUNTENANCING ANY WRONG DOING in the bringing of the suit to set aside the Bell Telephone patents, as hinted at by his op- poneuts. He has refused to appoiut railroad attorneys to take charge of Government cases or to call in extra legal aidto perform the duties of regular Government attorneys, as he had a right to do, following the precedents of his predccessors for some time. As to the propriety of the Government bringing a suit to set aside the Bell patents, there can be no question. The Government assuredly has the right to suit, although, of course, the bring the Bell Telephone people are anxious to create a contrary impression. The courts are where the merits of the case must be decided, and there was no impropriety in bringing the Gov- ernment suit to have the matter tested. The opinions of the Commissioner of Patents, Mr. Montgomery, and Assistant Secretary Jenks where honestly rendered, and it is improbable that Secretary Lamar could have been in- fluenced except by the highest motives in the matter. Ihave known Mr. Lamar intimately for a great many years, and I believe him to be thoroughly incorruptible man. He is a good lawyer, a great scholar, and he has, in my judgment, managed the business of the department admirably. The Senate made a mistake, I think, in its re- ection of John Goode as Solicitor-General. I ave ulso had the pleasure of knowing him for some time and his character is above reproach. I do not believe he had any more personal in- terest in bringing the Government suit to set aside the Bell patent than you have. It was a shaine that his nomination should have been rejected.’’ r. Thurman did not go into the question of the propriety of Government officials holdin stock in a speculative enterprises. He confine his remarks to the right of the Government to bring the suit against the Bell Telephone Com- — and the purity of Mr. Garland’s motives, ased on his personal knowledge of the man. a — Ingalls’ Savings Bank.

CONANT’S LONG AND UNSUC- CESSFUL SEARCH FOR AIS FATHER, S. S. Conant, Managing Editor of Harper’s Weekly—A Strange and Inexplicable Dis- appearance—No Solution of the Mystery —A Sad and Sickening Occupation—Start- ling Experiences. By Telegraph to the POST-DISPATCH. NEw Tonk. August 2.—‘‘One thing that im- pressed itself very strongly on my mind,’’said Thomas P. Conant, the son of S. 8. Conant, the long missing managing editor of Harper’s Weekly, recently, to the PosT-DISPATCH cor- respondent, ‘‘while I was engaged in the con- stant and active search for my father, shortly after his disappearance, was the large number of persons engaged in the same sad and sick- ening occupation. Quite a number of promi- nent men had disappeared at about the same time, and I frequently met their friends at hospitals and morgues, and at places where the bodies of drowned men had been found. There always sprang up a sort of sympathy between us, and we would compare notes and discuss the best mode of proced- fire in prosecuting our search, and I was also forcibly impressed with the seeming similarity of the circumstances surrounding all other cases with those of my own. Mr. Conant is a young man of education and talent, and strongly resembles his father, though not so tall. He is an electrician and is engaged with the Cumulative Electric Light Company at No. 44 Broadway. The story of his search that has been made to find his father was both interesting and pathetic: We had made all arrangements to goto Albanythe day he disappeared,’’ said young Mr. Conant, ‘‘andI called at his office at Harper’s the evening before, and he gave me instructions regarding the packing of his satchel for the trip. He told me, when I left to come home, that he shouid be late and to have the family wait dinner for him until about 8o’clock. We did wait for him and have been WAITING EVER SINCE. For several days we tracked him from place to place, and several times heard of his where- abouts, but when we got where he had been he had just gone. He wen to the United States Hotel, on Fulton street, New York, where he got some of the hotel note paper which he took toa hotel in Hun- ter’s Point and from whence he wrote usa letter briding us good-bye and telling us we should never see him again. The letter was in a plain envelope and was mailed at one of the uptown stations in New York. Then he came back to Brooklyn and stayed all night at the Fulton Ferry Hotel, and the most singular part of the circumstance was that I was in the hotel while he was up-stairsin bed. That was early in the morning and I went there because he had stopped there over night before, when detained late by his business in New York. He came in the night before when there was nobody about ut the hail boy, who did not know him, agked for a room and went to bed without registering his name. Then he remained in his room until noon nextday and when he came down the clerk, who knew him, was at his dinner. The hall boy asked him to please register his name, and he did so; and when I called late in the day his name was on the book, but he had gone. After that he wan- dered about for a day and a night on Coney Island, where he sold his watch for 8, giving a receipt for the money and taking another for the watch. There is no mistake about that, for I saw the receipt which was in his hand- writing, and the watch, which was one of my own that I had loaned him while he was hav- ing his own repaired,’’ LEFT CONEY ISLAND. Are you sure he ever leit Coney Island?’’ Mr. Conant was asked. Oh, yes, was the emphatic reply. ‘‘I found the conductor who brought him to the Brighton Beach Depot at Bergen street, and also the driver of the Bergen street horse car who took him to Hamilton Ferry. The driver knew him well by sight and described him ac- curately.’’ Did you trace him beyond Hamilton Ferry?’’ We didnot. All trace of him was abso- lutely lost atthat point and we have never heard anything that was reliable from him since. That he left Coney Island I think abso- lutely certain, and I huve no reason to think he ever went back there again. A body was found in Coney Island Creek in the spring that was at first positively identified as his, but when I saw it I became convinced, and so did my mother, that it was not. The resemblance from external apearances, apparel, etc., was Startling, and after examining it I was puz- zled. It was horribly decomposed and mu- tilated beyond recognition. After look ing at it went away undecided. Finally I remembered that my father’s upper front teeth were false and set in a plate. I went back and examined the teeth in the druwned man and found that they were his natural teeth, set rigid in the gums. That set- tied it, and we came away convinced. The body was afterwards identified as thatof a missing Williamsburg man and claimed by his friends. Then there was another body found in the Kill Von Kull that was also positively identified as that of my father by a man who knew him and recognized the shoes he wore. They had met in ashoe store and bought a —1 of shoes exactly alike, and the body found ad a pair of those same shoes. I went down there and saw the body, but the man looked no more like my fatherthan you do.’’ STRANGE EXPERIENCES. I have had some strange experiences in following up clews,’’ continued the young man. ‘Shortly after my fatner disappeared, a friend of the go overheard two sailors conversing on a dock in New York. One of them said to the other, ‘I know where that missing man Conant went. He is in Aus- tralia." My friend questioned him and he reiterated the statement, giving tne name of the ship he sailed in, the date she sailed and the port whither she was bound. The friend told me about it and I investigated the matter and found out that such a vessel ee sailed on the date and for the port given y the sailor. I wrote there and sent the let- ter by steamer, which arrived ahead of the vessel. When the vessel arrived she was boarded by newspaper men and detectives and thoroughly searched, but no such man was on board, nor had there been at any time during her voyage. Thena man earned upin Louisville, Ky. He had visited a newspaper office a little way from Louisville and conversed with the editor in three or four languages, telling him he was a newspaper man in hard luck and wanted assistance. He was in a sadly dilapidated condition, but failing to get what he wanted he left, and was shortly afterwards found drowned in a river. a your father speak any foreign lan- Tes, he could converse fluently in Fren 8 ish and Italian.

He found th who wrote the letter inthe institution and found that he had§known §him years’ 5 fore in connection with an advertisement jy, man newspaper of some patent. And wis was the most astonishing thing about it was that his full name was the same as my father’s — Samuel Stillman Conant. But the most singular cir. eumstance happened to me personally. Only a few months ago, Iwent to Europe and came home by way of the German line of steamers After the vessel had sailed I went down into the cabin and saw a sight that for a moment made my heart stand still. Seated at a table writing, was a man that looked exactly like my father. He had the same hair, the same forehead, the same nose, the same mustacho and he wore a plain gold ring on one of his fingers, precisely like the one my father wore He had on gold eye-glasses like my father’s and was writing in that methodica! manner, apparently turning his thoughts over in hig mind, just as I have seen my father do thou. sands of times. I stood as one transfixed for a moment. ‘Great Scott,’ thought I, have! run against my long lost father away over here in this unexpected moment?’ Just then ue arose from his seat and walked across the cabin. Instantly the likeness vanished Ha was a little, short man, many inches below my father in stature, and 1 saw atonce that ! was mistaken. Yet a person seeing the strap- er sitting down, asl did, would be deceived ust as Iwas.’’ NOT GONE ABROAD. Do you think your father went abroad? dont know. Idon'tsee how he cu. I know he did not have any ready money and could not have gone far without means. He took only $15 from the Harpers the night he left there for the last time and 1 know where he spent most ofthat. Then I know where he borrowed $15 more and I can account for most ot that. Ofcourse, he could have borrowed almost any amount among his numerous friends in New York and Brooklyn, but I do not think that it’s possible, because if he had it seems as though they would have come for. ward and made it known before this time. Now, he knew a great mar captains of sailing vessels, but he would not be likeiy to ship with them, and if he had shipped with a stranger, it seems to me tat evén then it would have transpired ‘ere now. Ithink thatthe only way he could have gone abroad would have been in some such way as that, and, therefore, don't think he left the country. Aman supposed to be my father was tracked to Jacksonville, Fla., by ral road. We got the number of the ticket that man traveled on and found the man who had it. Hesaid he bought it in New York and went to Florida and came back on it and he was not my father. Well, do you think he is dead?“ That is the question. Again I say I don't know. Lhope not. He might have jumped into the East River from the Hamilton ferrv. boat that night he came from Coney ISIand, but it seems strange, if he intended to con- mit suicide, that he should come from Coney Island where tnere are so many places that he could have drowned himself. Besides, it was only about 8 o’clock, the deck-hands were all on deck and they saw nothing unusual. Be- sides, what became of the body? It seems toms that it must have turned up somewhere before now. In my opinion, the best place he could have selected in which to hide would have been New York City. There are places there, like some of the labyrinths of tenement houses on the West side, where by disguising himself, changing his name and concealing his identity, a man could live for years with- out being discovered. STILL HOPEFUL. Then I take it for granted that you have not given up the search?’’ „No, we have not. The last bill we paid Pinkerton was only a few weeks ago, and he told us to consider the matter still open and he would eontiuue to follow up any clew that might present itself. We are still waiting and hopeful. Thacis one reason we have stayed in this house and kept our home precisely as it was when he left it.’’ Did yon ever see anything wrong in his mind before he went away?’’ No, I did not; and yet since he left things have been remembered that were not noticed at he time that his friends now think were queer. A few nights before he left he and! attended a meeting of the Authors’ Club, of which he was a member. He appeared all right to me, but a member asked me if there was anything the matter with my father. I to'd him thatI was not aware of anvtling, and asked him why he asked the question. He said because ata meeting of the Board of Directors early in the evening my father got very angry without any apparent reason, and it was so unusual a thing—in fact, something he had never known him to do before—that he thought there must be something the matter with him.
