The Colored Hostler of the De Donatos Ac- cused of Assaulting Four Little Girls—Re- volting Practices Carried on in His Stable on Glasgow Avenue—The Story as Told by the Victims—The Villain’s Desperate Re- sistance—Smith’s Statement. Wm. Smith, acolored coachmanin the em- ploy of F, De Donato at 2507 Glasgow avenue, was arrested last evening at5 o’clock atthe nstance of Mrs. De Donato who charged him with acriminal assault upon a little girl un- knowntoher. The crime was committed in the stanle, in the second story of which the negro had his sleeping apartment. Smith was immediately lodged in the Fourth District Station. Herefusedto give the name of his victim or any information that would lead toa knowledge of her. The little girl at the time of the discovery had made her escape through the rear ofthe stable in com- pany with another child. ‘ The matter was placed in the hands of OfM- cers Cummings and Sullivan, with instruc- tions to learn, if pos- sible, the name of the girl. Too much cred- it cannot be given to these patrolmen for the prompt manner in whichthey did their work. Before mid- night both the chil- dren above men- tioned and two others were found, who ac- cused the negro of assaulting them or at- tempting to do so. The girls are Lizzie and Katie} Fikowski, aged respectively 13 ‘ and 10 years, livingin The Prisoner. the rear of 1024 High street; Annie Grimes, aged 11 years, living at 1115 High street, and Mary Moore, aged 12 years, and living in the rear of 1027 North Twelitth street, THE CHILDREN’S STORY. Little Lizzie Fikowski, the most intelligent of the four girls, is a blue eyed, light haired and sweet voiced little girljthat none would snppose to be over 10 years of age. In her recital of the facts there was a simplicity and a manifestly innocent truthfulness calculated to excite the deepest sympathy in a listener. Her mother, a Polish woman, whose meager command of English made her efforts at explanation somewhat pathetic, inter- rupted frequently as the little girl did the talking. The father of the children isa sadcler by trade and does not always find his salary sufficient for the support of his family and the income is increased by a little revenue the mother derives at washing. Her circumstances have ‘forced her at timnes to take laundry work from colored peo- ple, 80 she says, and in that manner the ac- quaintance of the negro was made some three years ago. He seemed to take a fancy to the little girls and sometimes took tliem fora drive in the carriage of his employer. ABOUT TWO MONTHS AGO at the invitation of the Fikowski children Mary Moore and Annie Grimes accompanied to romp in the carriage-house and through the Joft. One day Mary Moore told the other giris that Smith had taken liberties with her. They talked the mat- ter over among themselves, but decided on no resentment, as William had been ry kind to them, and sometimes bought them candy and ice cream. About a week ago Lizzie says that while in Smith’s sleeping- room he threw heronthe bedand assaulted her. ‘‘The pain was so much,’’ to use the little one’s own language, ‘‘that I screamed, and he held his hand over my mouth. Thenl cried, and thenl1 don’t remember what happened, only Mary and he were rubbing my hands and putting water on my head.’’ ‘Did you faint?’’ the child was asked. ‘*I don’t know, sir. I didn’t know what hap- pened. He brought us homeinthe buggy. I didn’t tell anybody ’cause I thought papa would whip me, but I was sick fortwo or three days.’’ LITTLE KATE, the 10-year-old child, then told her story. The negro had thrown berupon the bed on one occasion during the week past and had torn her underciothing, but he had not harmed her because the other’ girls were there. Annie Grimes is the daughter of a poor widow. The negro had taken liberties with her but had never violently assauited her. She had been present on thefoccasions onj which he is said to have abused Mary Moore, but hejhad always sent her out to buy candy or ice creain, and her know!l- edve of the wrong was only what Mary had told ber. Mary Moore, the child of 12, is the largest of the four girls being as fully developed as most girls of her age, while her companions have been retarded in their growth by the stinting hand of want. Mary. how- ever, is of delicate nature. Her face is thin and peakish -and the eyes lack the bright lustre of full heaith. About them to- day are great red circles that belong only on the faces of matured suffering. In the negro’s association with this child he has been more successful than with her com- panions, and has at least on three oc- casions held relations «with her that her youth alone prevents, perhaps, from subsequent and more deplorable results. The familiarity was a thing of recent time but yet gradual growth, and had been produced by little gifts and other inducements heid out by the negro. She isthe child whom Mrs. De Donato discovered inthe biack’s embraces yesterday while little Annie Grimes was standing by in the stable. MRS. DE DONATO, through whose determined interference the shocking misdeeds were brought to an end, is the wife of the hair dealer at Sixth and Olive streets. She is a large, fine-looking woman possessed of considerabie physical strength and a great deal of nerve, as the account she gave to a POST-DISPATCH reporter to-day shows. It is on DeDonato’s prem- ises that the barn is situated, and the way itcame to give up its horribie record is best told in the lady’s own words. ‘‘I was sitting at home yesterday a/fter- noon at 4 o’clock sewing when a neighboring lady came in and said: ‘Oh, Mrs. De Donato, I have something to tell you,’ and in an excited manner beckoned me to follow. Observing from her excited manner that something un- usual was a-foot I hurried after. She told me to look into the barn and see if I observed anything. The lower doors were closed and I said | could see nothing. Then my companion told m6 again to look carefully as there was somethin going on inside, I picked up a rock wit which ladvanced tothe door. The lady with me asked: ‘Where’s Willie,’ meaning our colored 4g © : ‘* *Why, he’sat thestore, isn’t he?’ I re- plied inastonishment. ‘* ‘No, he isn’t; he’s in there.’ ‘* «The door was secured by a heavy staple and bolt; but God must have given mo strength, for as heard the last words I grasped the door and pulled with all m might. It jelded enough to let me‘enter. WhenlI stood inside A MOST SHOCKING SIGHT appeared. Inthe barouche sat the boy or man Willie, with his clothes all open, while near him was the oldest girl in a state of semi-nudity. Standing near was the smaller girl, who, on seeing me, started to dodge under meand escape from the door, crying, This is the firsttime I was ever here. Oh letme go.’ Iwas 60 angry thet I felt like killing them and seeing that I couldn't stop the child I threw the rock at her and then advanced upon the larger girl. 1 neared the barouche on the yey side the colored — ' | and caught her by botn arms, | whereupon the clothes she had becn holding up fell offand she stood uncovered. She was a spunky, strong little vixen and de- fied me, trying to bite my arms. The colored man got hold of one of her arms and tried to pall her away, threatening to kill me if I didn’t loose my hold. I stil] clung to her, and then the fellow picked up a bucket and swore he'd kill Ine if I didn’t let the girl go. Fearful that he might carry his threat into execution, I pushed the girl from me and made an effort to elutch the negro; but he turned and fied up into the erat se mcg he gota pitchfork and defied yboc o come up the st : would knock , , a ee THE POLICEMAN’S HEAD OFF if hecamein. I then lefthimand did what! could to remove the clotheless girl from the view ofthe children, who had gathered. In another minute the police arrived and ar- ae ee criminals.’’ ‘*Was this the first knowled those doings?’’ + **Well, I should say it was, andif I had only been able to use the rock on that boy it would have been his last doings. You see it was impossible for the people in our house to see anything in the barn, as the house stands up on the street at quite an elevation and the barn away +> the rear. But I'll teil you what is a fact, that there are some people in that neighborhood who ought to be horsewhipped. They have known of these actious for several months and have said nothing about it, and it only leaked out yesterday, when my friend was told in@identaily and reported ‘ hy, you wouldn't be- lieve it possible, but people had often seen the littie girls in the barn naked and had said nothing about it. We bad never suspected the fellow Smith at all. I have inquired around to-day and find he was always considered a little gentiemanand was, in fact, quite noted for his polite ways.’’ AT THE FOUR COURTS. This morning the four little girls called at the Four Courts accompanied by their rief-stricken parents and Officer syrne. The little girls were all very neatly dressed and scarcely looked to be as old as they really are. It was easy to be seen that their action has been a terribie blow to their parents, the sad expression of whose faces would enlist the syinpathy of the most hard-hearted. Going before Assist- ant Prosecuting Attorney Dierkes,the children told their sickening story, and two warrants for criminal assault were issued against him, Mary Moore being the victim mentioned in one and Lizzie Fikowski, the girl mentioned in the other. Both these girls are 13 years of age, and are the only children the black brute real- ly harmed, Katie Fikowski and Annie Grimes, who are several years younger than the other girls, being merely lookers-on at the occurrences. Inthe warrants the date of the assaults is given as on or about August }.. if the girls were under 12 years of age it would not be necessary to prove thatSmith used force in accomplishing his purpose, as the law pre- sumes that a child under that age is too young to know the meaning of an act of this kind. If it cannot be shown that force was used on the occa- sion mentioned it is difficult to understand how aconviction can be obtained. Should the negro be convicted, however, things are apt to go very hard with him as the Missouri punishment for the offense is five ham ae in the Penitentiary and the maximum langing, the matter being left entirely to the discretion of the jury. While the law fixes 12 years as the age at which a child should realize the full meaning of an act of this kind, there can be no doubt that these girls had very little idea of what they were actually duing when they gave way to Smith’s advances. SMITH’S STATEMENT. A reporter visited the negro at the Fourth District Station and through the courtesy of the officers in charge was permitted an inter- view with Smith. The prisoner is asaddle-colored darky, 28 years old, about five feet six inches tall and weighing, perhaps, 120 pounds. He is slight offrame, has a thin face, with high cheek bones, and alto- ether an intelligent expression. The ines about the eyés and mouth indicate the debauchee. Heisarrogant and defiant and has unusual faculties asa liar. He admitted having had criminal association with one of the girls, andinthe next breath denied the fact and insisted that the reporter and officers were misrepresenting him. He was told that a shot-gun party were coming down to hang him, and replied that ‘‘he didn’t care a —’’ what they did with him. Later in the interview he charged the girls with indiscrim- inate irregularity with boys and men. He was evidently at sea in regard to the matter, and only decided upon one point and that was to lie unreservedly and without provocation. He admits that the girls came to his stable and tbat he used to give them rides in the buggy, but he added thatthey were always hanging on bimand pestering round him. SOONER THAN EXPECTED. To-Morrow, It Is Said, Will See the Last of the St. Louis Maroons. By Telegraph to the POsT-DISPATCH. WASHINGTON, D. C., August 10.—It is under- stood in base ball circles inthis city that the game to-morrow with the Nationals will be the last one played by the St. Louis League Club under its present management. Man- ager James Mutrie of the New York Club is in the and it is said his mission here is to getaslice ofthe best part of the Maroon’s players. Glasscock, Denny or Myers would not be unacceptable to the New York man- ager and these are the men upon whom he has his eyes. News was received here last night that Lucas had left St. Louis en route to Washington to consummate a rumored deal with the Wash- ington management. This proposition was to turn over the club, players andall, to Wash- ington for the sum of $5,000. This is areduction fromthe original price of $12,000 asked by Manager Gus Schmelz of one or two parties with whom he has been discussing the matter city, of late. It is also said in connection with the deal that Lucas’ deal- ings were made with Spalding of Chicago and with Marsh of Detroit and Soden of Boston, through Spalding and that the Washington management was used only as & puppet by the bi¢ guns in the Leagte. Day and Mutrie, itis claimed, were not con- sulted atallonthe matter and this explains Mutrie’s sudden trip to the capital and his anxicty about further developments. All that the New York man wants, he, himself, says, is not to get leit on the pick of the players, keeping the cham- pionshbip in view ali the time. Nothing whatever can be ascertained here to-day with reference to the action the League willtake in case a vacancy occurs. There is little danger of the latter, however, asa prominent League man said this morning that the clubs would be so awapped around as not to interfere with the championship schedule, MOVED UP A PEG.

Commissioner Squire has been arrested by Inspector Byrnes to answer the indictment found by the Grand-jury against him, SQUIRE'S STATEMENT. The hearing before Mayor‘ Grace of the charges against Commissioner Squire was con- tinued to-day. The Mayor’s office was crowded with anxious spectators. The an- nouncement was made early that Maurice B. Flynn would appear and testify. Flynn was present, accompanied by Col. Rob- ert G. Ingersoll and R. 6. Newcombe., Mr. Squire wasthe first witness called and sworn. He testified that he was appointed Commissioner of Public Works on December $1, 1884. He had known Hubert Oo. Thompson since 1883, and was afterwards introduced to Mr. Flynn. He formed an intimate acquaint- ance with Thompson, and at his request went to the Chicago convention. ‘*He wanted,’’ continued the witness, **to use my services in securing the vote of the Massachusetts delegation.’’ He acted as a o-between between Gen. Butler, Collector Rennes and others, and carried whatever mes- sages were desired. On returning to New York be was more or less engaged in trying to bring Butler and Thompson together, as Thompson wanted Butler to support his nom- inees.

The first time the proposition was made that witness should be appointed Commissioner of Public Works, was on December 24, 188, in Thompson's office. Thompson said: ‘I think you can be of service to me.’ I said: ‘How?’ Thompson said:*‘You are aware that politics are very muddled at present. Edson bas nominated a man as Commissioner of Public Works whom we don’t want, and we have stopped it. Ed- s0n won’t appoint me. Mayor Grace has been with me and has desired me to get behind him and his nomination, pledging me at the same time thatif elected he would nominate me as Commissioner of Public Works. Grace bas gone back on me and I won’t have it.’ Isaid: ‘Let me know what you want and I will assist you.’ Thompson then advised me to go and see Mayor Edson andtell him thatwe had been school boys together. I called on Mayor Edson at his house on December 24, 1834, and said tohim: ‘Mr. Mayor, my excuse for calling, must be found in the _ fact that I have a message trom Thompson.’ Itold him what Thompson had said and re- ferred to our old school teacher, B. E. Perry of Boston. The Mayor had not yet understood who Thompson had wanted made Commis- sioner aud he said: ‘Who is the man?’ ‘I was the man,’ was the reply. The nextday was Christmus and I nined with the Mayor (Edson) and he was anxious to know if I would talk with his brother-in-law. I- told him that J] did not want to talk with Col. Wood or anyone else. After that, on the same day, I met Flynn and Thompson at the Worth House, and after a conversation, Thompson and I went over to the Hotel Brunswick and entered the reading-room. There we talked about consulting with Chas,P. Miller as the most pliant man in New York, in case we shouid require legal advice, and asa man who bad his finger in every pie. Then Thompson said: ‘It seems to ine that from the time of your conversation with Edson that you may secure his consent to your nomina- tion. But the consummation of the actof confirmation is what we are after. Now we Want a little writing from you.’ ’’ THE FATAL LETTER. ‘***T don’t approve of littie writings, Mr. Commissioner,’ was my reply. He said, ‘Do you do as I want ‘you to do and it willbe allright. Now write:’ Decem- ber 25th, 1848.—No, thisa holiday, make it the 27th or 26th.’ ‘You don’t want a prommissory note?’ I said. ‘No, write Maurice B. Flynn, Esq. You had better address it to Fiynn, as I am Commis- sioner of Public Works, Yovneedn’t beafraid to write that which I dictate, for it shan’t beof an incriminating nature.’’ I said: ‘‘Mr. Thompson, this is adangerous business and you are playing with fire,’’ and after some further discussion, I wrote the letter of December 26, 1884, the famous letter of resignation. After- wards Thompson said: ‘Now that’s all right. Leave the resttome.’ Isaid: ‘You can take it and keep ittor reflectionina calmer moment but don’t giveittoany one. Wethen separated and I began asearch for Judge Gildersleeve, whom I wished to consult. I did not find the Judge untiladay or after, however, and he advised me at once to have the letter de- stroyed. Ithen called on Thompson at his office and said: ‘‘l want that letter.’’ Thompson declined to give it to me; and Ithen called on Flynn and told him] wanted the let- ter. He said: ‘What letter?’ Itold him and he said: ‘You’re a foolish fellow to write such a letter. Sit down and I will get it atonze.’ He went off and when he came back said that he could not getit, asit was up-town in Thomp- s0n’s rooms. Ilinsistedupon having it, and Flynn told me to call upon him on Monday, andidid. Flynn handed me my letter, which I showed to Mr. Brown, who was present, and then 1 lit a match and burnt the letter up, as I supposed. Later I saw the Mayor and he said I have been waiting all day for you. I answered: ‘Mr. Mayor. I have been detained by circumstances over which I had no control.’ I was afterwards nom- inated and confirmed by the votes of all those who chose to vote for me. Mayor Edson afterwards asked me if I had made any promises or pledges,and I told him I had made one rather extensive one, but the letter which comprised it had been burned. Judge Gildersleeve, Fiynn and myself met once at the Manhattan Olub, and Fiynn said then that the letter had been destroyed. Some time afterwards Thompson called upon me, when I become Commissioner of Public Works, and asked me ir I would ee in his favor. I said: ‘If Grace will appoint you, I will get out.’ The next day Thompson called and said that the Muyor had agreed to ap- point him, and I wrote my resignation and handeditto R. 8. Newcombe, with in- structions that it was to be used only in the event of Thompson’s nomination. I first heard that the letter of December 26, 1884, was in existence through Lawyer Newcombe who told me in June, 15385, that Thompson ha told him that hehad it. I told Flynn of this, and he said: ‘If that’s so, I’m afraid he will make trouble for you.’. Flynn claimed that Thompson had deceived us both. I said: ‘Such conduct is both cruel and shame- ful,” and went to see Thompson. ‘Oh, well,’ he said, ‘it’s oe f politics after ali. Politics be damned, Itold him; from this day henceforth you go your way and I’|l f° mine,and I have.’’ The witness denied hav- ng said that the letter of resignation was made out at Flynn’s request. FLYNN ARRESTED. ‘*On the contrary,’’ said the witness, ‘‘Ivins said: ‘Squire, youand I are both men of the world; you know agoodthing when you see it Have you any price for your office?’ ‘Where I came from,’ the witness answered, ‘they try to find how anxious the buyer is.: How much will you give?’ ‘We are willing to purchase at a reasonable | gent ’ Ivins replied. My price, sir, ismy good name,’ Squire re- plied and stiffly left the room. After recess when the examination of Mr. Squire was about to be resumed, his counsel said: ‘‘I have just been informed that indict- ments have been found against Mr. Squire and Mr. Fiynn, l move that the proceeding stand over until Thursday.’’ The motion was qeanted and the hearin adjourned. Vhen the Mayor concluded the hearing in the Squire case the Commissioner started for the door, outside of which he was met by In- spector Byrnes. ‘*The District Attorney would liketo see you, Commissioner,’’ the Inspector said, and withouta word the Commissioner accompa- mies the ae to — ema rs Attorney’s » tollowe a cro apec tators. y ge wd of interested aurice B.

Close of the Defense in the Chicago Anarch- ists’ Trial. CurcaGo, August 10.—The court room where the eight anarchists are on trial was close and hot this afternoon. Judge Gary remarked when court opened that it was impossible to hear the testimony of witnesses or the remarks of the counsel when the windows were open, owing to the noises from the street. There was some delay in beginning the proceedings, the counsel for the defense consulting togeth- er, and evidently uncertain as to their course of procedure. The defense called W. A. 8. Graham, are- porter forthe Times. The witness interviewed Gilmer near the office of the Chief of Police, in the City Hall on May5. The defense de- sired toimpeach certain testimony giyen by Gilmer but could not tind the basis for itin anything that Gilmer had testified to. The de- fense then decided to recall Gilmer for cross- examination. Gilmer took the stand, and after identifying Graham, said he told him that he thought he could identify the man who threw the bomb if he should see him again. Gilmer was asked whether he didnot say to Graham that the man who threwthe bomb also litthe fuse. to question him as to his former personal ca- reer, intimating that he had once been arrested for arson, and that he was guilty of bigamy. The Court remarked that the counsel very well knew that this was irrelevant and improper. The witness wasexcused. Graham then took the stand and testified that Gilmer told him that the man whothrew the bomb alsolit the fuse, aiso that the man’s back was turned toward him, but that he thought he wore whiskers and that he was a man of medium height. Gilmer also stated that the man woreaslouch hat. On the cross- examination, Graham said that Gilmer said tue man who threw the bomb stood in Crane’s alley. At 10:55 a. m. Capt. Black announced the de- fense had completed. GILMER’S REPUTATION. The prosecution cailed Justice of the Peace Scully as the first witness in rebuttal. The Justice testified that Ofticer Wessier did not identify Steineras the mun who did the shoot- ing, in the rear of the wagon, at the Haymar- ket in the trial before him, and whom the police atterward identified as being Fielden. Inspector Bonfield was recalled and said he saw the witness simonson at the Desplaines Street Station. The witness said he was intro- duced to Simonson as a member of the firm of J. V. Farwell & Co. Simonson said that that firm was ar A to furnish the police with horses for their patiol service. Simonsen complained that the police had not done sufticient execution at cCormick’s, andon Kighteenth street. Then witness said he re- plied that these riotous erowdse — erally had such a_i large sprinkling of women and children that the police had to sustain assaults from the rioters and children without retaliation, owing to the knowledge that the women and children would suffer also. Hedid not tell Simonson that if he could get a crowd of 3,000 rioters off by themselves he would make short work of them, Judge Chester C. Cote, for eleven years a member of the Supreme Court bench of Iowa, testified that he had known Gilmer personally foralong number of years and his reputation was good. He said Gilmer had been at his house anumber oftimes. The cross-examin- ation only tended to confirm the statement that Gilmer had borne a good reputation. Edward R. Mason, Clerk of the United States District Court at DesMoines, Io., said Gilmer had always borne a good reputation. Ex-United States District Attorney Tuthill of this city and a nutnber of others also testified that the reputation of H. L. Gilmer for truth and veracity was good. The court then ad- journed till 2 p. m. SPIES’ ALLEGED PERJURY. The Daily News to-day charges August Spies, the anarchist, with having committed willful perjury during his testimony yesterday. In its leading editorial the News says: If the remainderof Mr. August Vincent Theodore Spies* testimony is as faise as that relating to tiie ave of the bomb he gave to a reporter of the News last January, the whole is as auda- cious a picce of perjury as was ever uttered in a court of justice. The bomb, acut of which was printed in the News of January 14, was brought direct from the hands of Mr. Spies tothis office. The writer handled it, examined itandinquired as to the circum- Siunces under whici it was obtained, and or- dered the artistto makethe cut of it which subsequently appeared in the paper. Any testimony that such bomb had lain in the Ar- beiter Zeitung office three years, as sworn to by Mr. Spies, is absolutely and unmistakably perjury. It bore upon its leaden sides the proot of that; it was fresh from the hand that made it. It wascomposed of the same mix- ture of lead and tin found in the bomb ex- ploded at the Haymarket massacre.Such bombs come from the moldin which they are cast with a rough duli-colored exterior. Tn the case ofthe one givento a News reporter by Mr. Spies this rough rind had been rasped or filed awayuntil the wholeshone with the bright- ness of newly cut metal. Its sides bore the traces of where the teeth of the file had bitten into the metal. For any man to pretend a bomb bearing such paipable evidence of re- cent manufacture had been knocking outin an anarchist newspaper ofiice for three rears is to insult intelligence. When he goes urther and swears to such a pretense he commits willful perjury. SAVED HIS PRISONER, How a Horse Thief Escaped Lynching Near Carondelet. Jacob Saddlemeyer was arrested yesterday morning by the Jefferson County officials for horse-stealing, having made away with a very valuable horse belonging to Thomas J. Sappington, onthe night of the 29th ult. He was lodged in the jail at Georgetown to await a hearing, but a number of farmers and citizens, thinking a ety | would be too light a punigsh- ment forsuchacrime, started out ina body for the little jail last evening about 7 o’clock. The crowd demanded of Sheriff Sappington that Saddlemeyer be turned over to them and shouts of ‘‘Lynch him! lynch him!’’ arose up from the crowd. Sheriff Sappington told the crowd to dis- perse, but this was not heeded. Seeing that eomething would happen he sent off oneof his deputies with the prisoner in a wagon, and aiter a rapid ride Carondelet was reached. Meanwhile the mob was. using any- thing but pleasant words toward Sapping:- ton. However, through the persuasions of the Sheriff the crowd dis- persed. Saddlemeyer reached Carondelet afew hours after. This morning Saddiemeyer was transferred to the county jail at Clayton. THE STATE CAPITAL.

Judge Martin Gaining Strength in the Coun- try—The Eighteenth and Twenty-Fourth Wards Solid for Him—The Henry-Brace Combination—The Republican City Com- mittees Anticipating Something Unpleas- ant—Political Gossip. Reports from the county conventions during the past few days have been very favorable to Juqge Alexander Martin, and his stock has taken on a perceptible boom in consequence. Even in the city, which is acknowledged the headquarters of the Henry forces, some of the prominent fward workers are beginning to weaken upon their former boast- ful assertions. At the meeting of the City Central Committee last night it was very gen- erally admitted by the statesmen who dis- cussed the situation on the curb- stone, that Martin was gaining strength in some of the wards and that the’ Eighteenth and Twenty-fourth would be solid for him in the convention. Bets were freely offered that Henry would not be nomi- nated, but found no takers. The only wager of any consequence that was made was one of $100 even that Martin would poll within nity votes of a majority on the first ballot. From conversations of members of the Cen- tral Committee who are known to be strong Henry men, % # is in- ferred that in the event of Henry’s withdrawal from the race,an effort will be made to swing bis votes to Brace. The local managers of Martin’s campaign have heard reports to the same effect and are of the opinion thata trade has been consummated between Henry and Brace, but think that the former willbe unableto deliver the oods at the proper time. They say that with Henr out, Cobb, Rainwater and other infiuential men _ will sup- port Martin despite any arrangement which may be made to the contrary. With regard to the Kansas City delegation, they claim that a break would result in Martin securing at least one half of the Henry strength. The hhtest fight locally, is being made in the Eighteenth Ward where the City Administration influence is being exerted in behaif of Henry, and Geo. Castleman and Clem Creveling fare working industriously for Martin. The battle is prac- tically now for Martin. In the Twenty- fourt Martin has a sure thing, and in the Twentieth, one of the close wards, it is safe to assuine that Clay Sexton and Mike Sullivan will pull Henry out of the fire. A mistaken impression prevails that the Marmaduke influence is backing up Martin. In Saline Oounty, a Marmaduke stronghold, Col. Vincent Marmaduke and Leslie Marmaduke, brothers of the Governor, have their coats off for Henry and claim that they will carry the county for him. The sublime cheek of Secretary McGrath in claiming Lafayette County for Henry is much admire by Martin's friends, who very quietly had the county delegation instructed for their candidate. The Secretary is also ifle off in his calculations on Pettis County. G@erge Jackson,who heads the delegation, and wha@named the delegates, is a violent Martin mavw,and never dreamed of voting for Henry. REPUBLICAN CITY CENTRAL COMMITTEES. The status of the rival Republican City Cen- tral Committees will be definitely determined on Septemberl1 atthe meeting ofthe Repub- lican State Convention. That body will be called upon to decide between Mr. Filley and Mr. Grund, and the result is bound to make itself feit inaforciblemanner. Both committees have provided for the holding of primaries for the election of delegates to the convention, and in the contest which will ensue for admission to the convention, one set of .delegates must be unceremoniously kicked out and i. in- formed that they do not rep- resent the Republican voters of St. Louis. It would bea difficult matter for any committee to survive such a direct slap inthe face, yetit is sureto come, and itis safe to assume that after it has been delivered the much desired ‘‘harmony’’ will be as dis- tant as before. Ford Smith and Pohlman claim that they are in possession of the records of the regular Republican Committee and the convention cannot possibly decide against them. MIKE HENEFICK’S SUCCESSOR. Committeeman Mike Kenefick did not resign his position in the Central Committee last night as had been reported. It appears that a difference of opinion exists in the Tenth Ward regarding his successor and Mike does not propose to let go untilthe question has been satisfactorily settled. Andy Glong was first selected for the place and was in a fair way to get it when an effort was made toretire him with Pat McNamara of the Water-works. McNamara has not consented to make the race yet, and it is extremely doubtful if he will stand much chances of suc- ceeding should he decide to do so. Blong is backed by Bob’ Towey, Mike Kenefick and others who possess suf- ficient influence in the ward to get almost any- thing they ask for. KNIGHTS OF LABOR MEETING. Acall has beenissued for amass meeting under the auspices ofthe Knights of Labor at Central Turner Hallto-morrow night The managers of the affair desire the attendance of Knights who are not followers of any particular party and are concerned about their rights and status as laboring men. It isreported that the meeting will be asked to indorse the political course of Hon. John M. Glover, and that res- olutions to that effect will be offered and adopted. A number of prominent Knights will address the meeting. GOSSIP. The quarrel in the Twenty-fourth ward still continues. The two factions have organized rival clubs, the Cleveland and the Twenty- fourth Ward Democratic, the former com- osed of Committeeman George McDermott’s riends and the latter ofthe urphy-Meegan crowd. The Cleveland Club meets at Union Hall to-morrow evening andthe Democratic Club memes | to-night at the same place. The prospect is good fora vance fight. Mc- Dermott characterizes the opposition as ‘‘un- Democratic’’ and claims that he wili carry the ward without difficulty. A new candidate has sprung up fomthe Dem- ocratic nomination for Congress in the Tenth Clardy’s) District in the person of Mr. Ed ranch Cowen, who is described asa thor- ough Democrat ‘‘by inheritance and from in- clination.’’ Secretary Ford Smith of the ‘‘only regular Republican City Central Committée,’’ says: ‘*Louis Grund informed me in 1884 that he ‘contemplated a step’ and I subsequently as- certained that he was maneuvering to eae hele of our committee records. If I mistake not, Grund still ‘contemplates a step.’ ’’ Congressman John J. O’Neiil will be de- tained at Washington for the next ten days on department business. A lettér has been received from Congress- man John M. Glover, stating that he expects to be here within three or four days. Committeeman Moore of the Fourth Ward is reported as having said that he would take a —_ Henry delegation tothe State conven- tion. W. D.

By Telegraph to the POsT-DISPATCH. WASHINGTON, D. C., August 10.—The ap- pointment by the President this morning of Daniel Magone as Collector of Customs at New York, over which there has*been so much said for the past few days, prowses, out of the forced resignation of Collector Hedden, is looked upon as a happy selection, harmoniz- ing the different elements in city politics. Hedden was asked to resign y the President, because of his alleged open viola- tion of the civil-service laws, together with running the office in the interest of Gov. Hill. Magone was one of the pali-bearers at Mr. Tilden’s funeral and had _ (for years been an intimate and close friend of the sage of Graystone. He is also the friend of Tammany and County Democracy. He is from the interior of the State, at Ogdens- burg, and is in no way implicated in the wrangles of the party in the city. The ap- pointment was made upon the advice of Secretaries Manning and Whitney. Postmaster Button on Top. By Telegraph to the POST-DISPATCH, WASHINGTON, D. O., August 10.—Postmas- ter Button of Lynchburg, Va., who, it will be remembered, was rejected by the Senate on account of his abuse, printed in the columns of his paper(which he likewise edits in con- nection with the Post-office), reflect- ing upon the ~personal and 0»political conduct of a number of Republican Senators,was to-day reappointed by the Presi- dent. Button went further, perhaps, and ac- complished less in the attempt to convince the Senate he was entitled to confirmation than any other man upon whom opposition had centered. Charges had been lodged against Button to the effect that he had manipulated the tissue ballot frauds in Virginia much to the disgust and political misfortune of Senator Mahone. 4 He was also charged with being an offensive a and using the columns of his paper n support of the Administration and making loud and repeated calis ‘*to turn the rascals out.’’ He was not a civil service reformer and wrote at great length to show the inconsistency of what he terms a vicious and dishonest law. Numerous extracts from his paper were incorporated in aspeech by Senator Mahone and printedin the Congressional Record, setting forth his — opposition to civil-service re- orm. Matthews’ Reappointment. By Telegraph to the POST-DISPATCH. WASHINGTON, D. C., August 10.—The action of the President in reappointing J. C. Mat- thews,the colored Democrat from Albany, Recorder of Deeds forthe District, has been met with loud and pronounced indignation. When he was rejected by the Senate it was supposed that would be the last of Matthews and the people of the District have used every possible exertion and influence with the President hopiny that some resident of the District would be given the place. Mr. Cleveland intends to pursue the policy he started out with, andin all cases where the objections are not of too serious a character he will reappoint all of those who were hung up by the Senate. Mr. Cleveland said that in the reappointment of Matthews he did not regard the causes for his rejection by the Sen- ate as of sufficient force and character to pre- vent his being given the piace. Mr. Matthews will enter upon the duties of his office on the 15th of the present month, and can serve in that capacity until next De- cember, and perhaps longer, though he may again be rejected. The President has an idea that when the Senate meets ayain it will con- firm Matthews and be far more lenient in gen- eral than it was the last session. Secretary Manning. WASHINGTON, D. C., August 10.—There is still a good chance that Secretary Manning may return to active service in the Treasury Department. It will be remembered that in May, when his sickness promised to be per- manent, he sent his resignation to the Presi- dent, who requested him to let it remain in abeyance until October. Since then his health has been slowly improving and the President has lately received advices which give him renewed hopes that Mr. Manning a e able, after all, to reconsider his determination to retire from public life. His health, it is said, has become decidedly better during the past week or two,and if the present rate of im- at ne is maintained his physicians are inclined to think that he can resume the Secretarvship. Mr. Manning himself has not yet decided what todo about it. He may not wish to serve again inany event, but he has not determined not to do so. Lamar and Black. By Telegraph to the Post-DISPaTcH. WASHINGTON, D. C., August 10.—The con- troversy and official coolness between Secre- tary Lamar and Commissioner Black dates baek to the time when the Commissioner per- einptorily demanded the resignation of Miss Ada Sweet, Pension Agentat Chicago. This action on the part of the Commissioner did not suit Secretary Lamar and he caused Gen. Black to write a letter withdrawing his de- mand for the resignation. Secretary Lamar, at the time, said that if the resignation were to be asked for, either the President or some one commissioned by the President would be delegated that authority. Commis- sioner Black aiso did the same thing with the Pension Agent at Pittsburg, which was after wards withdrawn atthe reqnest of the Secre.- tary of the Interior. From that time until the present the breach has been gradually widen- ing. Gen. Maury’s Appointment. By Telegraph to the POST-DISPATCH. WASHINGTON, D. OC., August 10.—There is some question as to whether Gen. Dabney H. Maury of Virginia will be reappointed as Minister Plenipotentiary to Colombia, suc- ceeding Charles Jacobs of Kentucky. Maury was one of the list not acted upon by the Sen- ate, and against whom charges were filed seriously reflecting upon his patriotism, grow- ing out of an expression he had not long since made concerning the American flag. Had the Senate remained in session longer there would have been avery long and earnest fight against his confirmation, headed by Senator Mahone, similar to that he made upon ex- Solicitor-General Goode. A THIRST FOR GORE, Reporter Reynolds and Assistant Circuit Clerk Allen Have a Set-To. The Circuit Court clerk’s office at the Court- house was the scene ofa lively set-to late yes- terday afternoon. Ed. Allen, one of the | subordinates in the office, and Thos. r 2 Reynolds, court reporter for the Globe-Democrat mingled on the office floor. Allen, inaspirit of boisterous fun, had been aggravating Reynolds for several weeks, ask- ing him to remove undetachable articles in order that others might langh at the reporter’s efforts to do or the imaginary absurdity of an attem One of these requests yesterday fired Rey nolds to the fighting pitch. He pulled Allen from his chair, bunged up an eye, and marred the clerk’s face, making arnica and beefsteak necessary as remedial applications. The combatants were separated or further aomege might have resulted. Allen carries a soiled eye to show the reporter's powers. Gen. Edwards Doing Well. Assistant Treasurer Gen. Edwards, whose injury sustained in falling from a cable car was mentioned in yesterday’s Post-DISPATOH, was progressing nicely to-day, and no danger was apprehended. 80, pt.

A well-known bear furnishes the following: ‘*‘The customary estimates of the require- ments of wheat of Furopean importing coun- tries begin to make their appearance. The estimates are pure guess work, even as far as England and France are concerned, The low- est estimate of the English crop is 6,000,000 quarters, or 48,000,000 bu. ,deducting seed. The French crop is estimated at 28,500,000 bushels. It is therefore stated that the requirements of both countries will be 60,000,000 bushels and 50,000,000 bushels réspectively. England, however, carries over 20,000,000 bushels of wheat and wheat flour in store, and it Is estimated 8,000,000 to 10,000,000 busheis more in farmers’ hands. The estimate of the export surplus of Kussia is cut down to 40,000,- 000 bushels. Taking out Chinaand the West Indies,the requirements of importing countries are placed at 271,000,000 butor the current year. If Europe can pappry the odd 71,000,000 u, and it seems not unlikely, the other ex- porting countries of the world can probably do something towards filling up the other hole of 200,000,000 bushels. Last year the Govern- ment estimated the wheat crop of the world at 2,110,000,000 bushels, and the consumption at 2,165,000,000 bushels. This year the English, French, Russian and Australian crops are short, but the American crop is larger than last year, so that probably the same figures would not be far outofthe way. The deficiency be- tween the supply and the demand will have to be made up fromoldsupplies. The parties who estimated last year that the world couid not possibly produce enough wheat were rad- ically mistaken. This year the conditions appear nearly’ the same, although the supply is distributed differently.’’ —-There was nothing very reassuring in the public cable statement this morning of ‘‘wet weatherin England,’’ especially after read- ing in the Mark Lane Express review that the weather for the past week had been unfavorable for grain crops.— lt is lucky that Indiais nota wheat-consum- ing country. In reference to this, Statistician Brown of the New York Produce Exchange says: ‘‘India is not a wheat-consuming country, soto speak, her population being about 265,000,000, while her crop in 1884-5 was officially set down as 237 ,955 ,584 bu, of which she exported 39,312,969 bu, and used about 9,000,000 bu additional for seed, leaving available for food about 240,000,000 bu, or less than one bu per capita. Ifthe inhabitants of India con- sumed wheat in the same ratioas the inhab- itants of the United States do, they would con- sume annually (at the minimum rate of 4% bu per a about 1,192,500,000 bu of wheat, be- sides requ area some 37,260,900 bushels for seed, instead of 9,000,000 bushels, or about one-half of a bushel per acre as at present, making the as- sumed total requirements for food and seed say 1,229,760,000 bushels, or 60 per cent of the worid’s present crop.’’——Now it is said that the rains in Dakota will stop harvestin and shipments of wheat for the present.—John A. Trent, special insurance ageut, who has been all through Kansas, says that State had all the rain needed, and the corn crop is all right. —— A St. Louis grain-exporting house is bid with- in wc 60606Cf—Ctsiédtthhe’”~CO™:CéChhigshhest~= price’. =sipaia them last week for wheat, and their European advices are very firm,——The French wheat crop, it is said, shows now only a decrease of 10,000,000 bu, instead of 40,000,000, as first reéported.—— It was really disheartening to see corn decline this morningin the face of the very convinc- ing bull argument inthe editorial colums of a morning paper. Traders were in- clined to copper this disinterested empty sacks are coming back from thecountry. Farmers are either plowing for their fall sow- ing of wheat, orare waiting to see how much damage has been inflicted upon corn.——Busi- ness was practically suspended in the pit this forenoon, traders waiting for the Government crop report or for an order. —A letter has been received from J. O. Ewald, who wasin Paris when he wrote. J. W. Kauffman and family are still in Scotland and Moses Fraley is in Holland.—— The percentage of wheat inspecting No. 2 here to-day was about 75.——‘‘There’s a dandy,’’ exclaimed Frank Kauffman, showing a cable from Liverpool addressed to the Kauffman Milling Co., and which read ‘‘Awaiting new flour. Consign.’’ ‘‘That,’’ went onMr. K, ‘‘isinresponse toa request foran offer. Here’s another inanswerto an offer I made them. Yousee they say they’ ll take the flour at a_ shilling less. Well, that was a lot I offered them of only 500 sacks and I put the price down low to see if I could work ‘em. They come back and offer a shilling less. And that is ajtirm we sold 650,000 sacks—one lot of 10,000 at a whack—on iast year’s crop. They keep on telling us to consign, but, as 1 wrote them, yesterday, ifthey have no more confidence in their own market as to refuse to buy our flour at these cheap prices, how can they expect us to have confidence enough to consign our fleur and take the chances of their market?’’——Im- orts of flour and wheat into the United ‘ingdpm last week were equal to 3,103,000 bu wheat, against 1,980,000 bu the week before and 2,716,000 bu for same week last year. —Adding .last week’s imports to the En- giish farmers’ deliveries for same time the total amount exceeds the estimated weekly consumptive requirements of the Uni- ted Kingdom y 9,000 bu, § increas- ing their supplies that much. —The Government Bureau report on the crops when received mixed traders ideas on the result worse than they had been before. There was no doubt but that the condition of spring wheat has been reduced 8 per cent. and corn reduced 14 per cent., from 95c to 8lc. Some statisticians figured outa total wheatcrop of 455,000,000 bu, while others placed it at 416,000,000 bu. The corn crop was estimated at about 1,600,000,000 bu. —Francis Bros. received the following from reg bg ‘‘Our agent in London cables to-day that the European harvest will be 10 per cent less than last year.’’———-New York wired Fath- Ewald: «66,000 , No. 2 wheat posted out of condition.’’——Barley 8 beginning to move with more freedom. John Wahl &Co., to-day selling 20 cars Iowa Scotch to arrive.——Latest from New York was that ll loads wheat had been taken for export. Chicago worked 100,000 bu. Wheat was inacondition of ‘‘glorious un- certainty’’ this morning. The news was con- flicting enough and the situation mixed enough to render traders rather cautious in their operesarns. but over and above all was the desire to await the Government Bureau re- port to see how ‘‘Uncle Sam’’ figures out the Rye.

Some of them were dull, and ld lower, one quoted 6d decline, while others were firm, but all da in reporting wet weather in - land. There were rains, too, in the North- west which, it was stated, harvesting and the movement to market, but the greatest and most effective bull argument of the morning was the small receipts here, which attracted attention everywhere. Almost before it was time to re- ceive the Government report estimates came in that it showed a total crop of 435,000,000. This started the crowd to selling and there would delay was & quick run that carrried prices down %*o below the early top rates. From this depres- sion it rallied and advanced, grow- ing stronger and stronger and the demand more and more urgent the nearer the close of business forthe day came. Chi- cago led in this reaction, but whether it was that they had raised their estimates and made the crop smaller or were bulling on the reported export purchases was notlearned. The local market followed very closely after her and at close was *#@ic above yesterday. August sold at 75%c to 764c; Sep- tember at 7iiec off to é%c and up to Ti75kc; October at 79%c down to 78%4c and up to 7¥42c; November at 8lc to 80%c, and later sl¥c bid.

Corn—Just how much damage the Govern- ment Agricultural report would show, through the recent drouth, was the question of the hour on ’Change, and awaiting that the trade would do but littie in a speculative way. The very heavy inspections of 973 cars in Chi- cago and expectations of further large arriv- als softened the markets, and they gradual! eased off, finally culminating in a sharp brea when the estimate of a 1,600,000,000 bu crop (based upon the Government report) was re- ceived. If thecrop turned out that large, though then over 330,000,000 bu smaller than last year’s, yet it was generally believed by the trade that it, with the large amount back inthe country, would give more than enough for all requirements. It was also thought that the report would bring outa large amount of country long _ stuff when it was made public. Prices declined very rapidly for a time, but stiffened up late, with wheat finallyclosing lo @%c beiow yesterday.

Flour—The boom that a morning paper re- ported as having arrived failed to materialize to-day, forthe market was just as quiet as ever, there was no improvement to the de- mand and rices were steady and un- changed. . ‘‘I wouldn’t quote them any lower,’’ remarked a broker.

Provisions in Chicago were influenced enough by the decline in grain to weaken off, but the local market was unaffected. At any rate in values it was not. ‘Business was only fair and, as for some time past, was confined chiefly to filling the orders that came in from the South. Up coun- try dry salt meats were seemingly not wanted, as winter c’ribs were not worth over 6c oc. and f. here while a lot of spot summer sold at 6%4c-delivered.

The Government report had a most decided effeet upon New York futures, for after selling considerably lower early in the day they turned and shot up rapidly, more than recov- ering all the early loss.

NEW YORK, August 10,—The steamer Fuji, of the North German Lloyd Line, having on board Henry Irving and Miss Ellen Terry and ber daughter Edith, crossed the bar at sangy Hook late yesterday afternoon and Steamed up the lower bay, dropping anchoroif Qua-. antine.

He was dressed jy alight gray checked suit and wore a biack slouched hat. ‘*‘IT have just been reading the news,”’ said heto Mr. Buck who first greeted him, pro. ducing a copy of the PostT-DISPATCH from his pocket; ‘‘that is, Saturday’s news. The pilot gave me this when he boaried us off Fire Island. Our trip has been quietand pleasant.’’ There was a slight stir among the ladies and a sudden craning of necks as Mr. Irving's companion, Miss Ellen Terry, (Mrs. Wardel!) accompanied by her daughter Miss Edith Wardell, a fair and slender young girl of 16, stood in the gangway. ‘‘How glad I am to be in America once more,’’ said Miss Terry as she shook hands and answered gracefully the greeting of her friends. ‘‘This country grows on me. This is my third visit, and Iam more in love with itthanever. I was notilla bit on the voyage, and everyone was so kind to me—é€ven Fritzie. Good bye Fritzie!’’—and here she waved her hand toa blushing young German waiter who had followed the pow to the gany. way and who was covered with confusivun and delight at the kindly noc. ‘‘Are weto go down that ladder?’’ added Miss Terry, gazing furtively atthe companion. way that led tothe yacht. On being tcld that she was, she bravely placed her foot on the round and descended the side of thé vesse! ty the Leonda. There Mr. Frank Santer was waiting to receive her. Placing her hand in his she jumped across the space between the steamer andthe yacht. Then looking up at the huge, black side of the Fulda, she waved her band and called out to Mr. Irving, **COME ON.”’ In a minute the whole party had boarded the Leonda and were steaming toward Bay Ridge. ‘*I’'ve come here merely on a pleasure trip,’’ he said, as he seated himselfait. He lighte acigarand began to talk. ‘‘I intend to rest this time. I stop in New York until Thursda,. Then with Mr. Buck, my Kind friend here, I shall board the good yacht Rambler and be off onacruise. We will be at New London Friday and Saturday, then Block Isiand, Nar- ragansett Pier, Newport, New Bedford, Clam- ake Bay—avery good place, by the way, to get asquare mezl,’’ added Mr. Irving iaugh- ingly; ‘‘then Cottage City, Nantucket, Edgar- town, and probably Bar Harbor, returning by the way of Bostos and Néwport.

He is down in the cabin now gathering strength.’’ ‘*l suppose,’’ continued Mr. Irving, ‘‘you will have Wilson Barrett in Clito and Chatter- ton this season. He has madea great bitin ndon. Mr. Daly’s company has had tre- mendous success. Dixey did not do well at first, but he is doing very wellat present. It is so English, youknow; Idonot know very much about hig acting myself, as l never went to see him.’’ ‘*Butdid you not dine with him?’ **Oh yes, | dined with him.’’ ‘*Was notthe cable account of the dinner true, Mr. Irving, and did you not say that you did not like to be caricatured?’’ ‘*Well,’’ said Mr. Irving with a half smile, ‘‘I might have said it—indeed I did say it,I suppose. Heis doing well with his imita- tion now. Itis very comfortable to have a man next door filling your piace for the sum- mer-during one’s absence; but one does not like tosee himself caricatured. His play is very poor, but he is having A GREAT SUCCESS. ‘*‘There isnotruth in therumor that Iam going to build a theater in New York and live s1x months of the year on this side.

As James A. St. Johnof St. Louis is backing Gaudaur at the present juncture a reporter for the Post-DISPATCH asked him to-day what he thought of Hanlan’s remark and be replied: ‘‘You can say for Hanlan’s benefit that woe will row him any distance at any time for any money and oon any lake course in America. If Hanlan wants . to try his strength against our champion he knows the modus operandi of arranging boat races and he can be easily accommodated. The fact that the once great oarsman waited until both of the men he aimed his remarks at had left the country’ will, of course, have some significance with the majority of thinking people, and if a match between Gaudaur and himself issues out of his talk it will be a surprise to many who know the two men well.’’ The merchants on ’Change are collecting a purse to invest on the Beach-Gaudaur match next month and when collected it will foot up about $1,200.

BURLINGAMR, Kan., August 10.—The Burlin- game Base Ball Nine, the Blues, have played so far twelve games this season and have won every time. On Friday next they play the Eskridge club and wil other to their Pune Poeagg undoubtedly add an Kelly’s Opinion of Pitchers. Umpire John Kelly was recently asked which of the Association pitchers were the hardest to umpire for, barring al) kicking propensi- ties. ‘‘I regard Ramsey and Morris the hard- est,’’ said Kelly. **Ramsey has a drop ball that is very hard to judge, it ‘rising ball’ until just about the 9 tye J gon by up to the pinte, when it suddenly drops and, oO course, fools both the batsman and the umpire. With Morris. how- ever,’’ continued kelly, ‘‘this is different Morris, if he had a good ‘drop ball’ like Ram. sey, would be invincible. His mean balls are those that he sends pe ag 2 around the bats- inen's neck and body. To look at the bali it seems as if it were coming straight over the outside corner of the plate, when in reality it shoots in, and if the batter is not pretty active he is very liable to get @ soaker in the neck,’’ The Consolidation Scheme, The New York Sportsman has this to say about Mr. Spalding and bis one association scheme: ‘‘Speaking of the approaching disso- lution of the Kansas City cluh calls to mind the fact that a few more ciubs will probab! o a way of all Hesh before the ee 6 A i the spring. Von der Ahe of the St. Louis ela BS and Spalding of the Chicagos both de- mm their firm belief that the two big asso- wieete will be consolidated next season. these two worthies do not know about base ball is not worth knowing, and what they say goes. Their scheme is to combine the strongest clubs of the two confederations into one monster association. There are to be but ten clubs in the new combination and the material from the six clubs thus broken up will go to strengthen the ten fittest to sur- vive. Nocity shall have more than one club, Sunday games and the admission tariff to be at the discretion of the home management, Spalding is aquecr ’un. One day we find him claiming, with all his voice, that the St. Louis Browns would not be able to finish higher than fifth in the League race, and the next willing to forego his pet dislikes for Sunday games and cheap admissions. to have them and others not so good in his association. We should not build too highly, however, on any such combination being really brought about. Rumors of this ilk are blown about this country every year about this time, managers being willing to assert—~and deny—anything to keep public interest in the sport atthe boiling point.’’ Gossip of the Game. Gladman, late of the Washington Club, will play with the Syracuse Stars. The Energetics defeated the Lincolns in an interesting game. The score was 7 to 5. The Browns are scheduled for three games with the Baltimores, beginning to-morrow. The Knights of the Silver Dipper defeated the hiss-Me-Quicks Sunday in a score of | to 0. _Almost one-half the victories credited to Kansas City have been won from Washington. At St. Charles, on Sunday, the St. Charles I. X. L’s defeated the Chesters. The score was 85 to 5. The Keystones defeated the Etnas yester- day by ascoreof 13 to 2, Their address is 130842 Carr street. Dunlap, now of the Detroit Club, says that if the New Yorks win the championship he will give them a benefit. The lately disbanded Chattanooga Club has given notice that Hart, who is now pitching a) the Athletic Club, has been blacklisted by 1em, Notwithstanding that there have been many surprises in base ball during the past season, more may be expected before the season is ended.—| Ex. Strange as it may appear. President Von der Ahe of the St. Louis Club thinks it isa sinart thing for his players to quarrel and dispute with the umpires, and he always at such times smiles a broad, German smile, and re- marks: ‘‘Dot’s de bossclub, and I’m the boss manager ofthe boss club.’’ It is said that when at home he has his whole nine come out on the base ball ground every morning. He stands them up in a line, and atter inspecting thei well he makes thema speech something like this: ‘*My name is Christie Von der Ahe. 1 came to St. Louis when base ball was verv low. Now base Dall is very high and I stay herestill, and don’t you forgetit. Ifyou dun’t win to-day I will fine you all $25, sure.’’—[{N. Y. Sun. The withdrawal of Pittsburg from the Asso- elation will cause that body trouble and it may disband at the endof the season, when the Browns leave to take the placeof Kansas City. By these changes the League in 1887 will consist of New York, Boston, Philadelphia, Washington, Pittsburg, Chicago, St. Louis and Detroit. With two other clubs from the Association—say Brooklyns in the East and Cincinnati in the West—the ten-club league spoken of in last Sunday’s WORLD can be or- ganized, and probably will be. At pres- ent the whole base ball world is in a chaotic state, and many things may happen within a week that will cause a sur- prise to the public. Thus the importance of Detroit's latest deal becomesapparent. It has occasioned ill-feeling in some quarters, too, and as a League official said last night: ‘‘De- troit broke up the Buffaloclub last year and the St. Louis club this year. Itis bad policy and may cause ruin to the League.’’—(N. YX. WORLD. -— WILL IT BE ACCEPTED? Smith’s Performance at Youngstown and the Conditions of the Race. Itis hardly probable that George Smith’s performance at Youngstown will go on record. The race wasrun onthe Fair grounds track, and asSmith was giving Volkes two yards start in 150, he and his backers were very care- ful to have the course full distance. It was accurately measured by competent persons, as Smith did not wantto give Volkes one inch the best ofthe eonditions Volkes is a Shef- field handicap winner, having captured one of these great events some time after Smith vis- ited England and added Sheftield laurels to his wreath. Smith’s time was 144s. There was little betting on the event, Smith being agreat favorite. The hitch will probably come inastothe timing, though the gentie- men who acted in this capacity were disinter- ested, and presumably reliable. The race was run on its merits, and 80 anxious were both men about being protected bv competent offi- cials that they sent to Philadelphia for George Turner to act as pistol firer, and he came on and officiated. ’ The world’s record for 150 yards is 15 sec- onds, unless Smith’s performance is accepted. In addition to Westhill, W. P. Phillips ran the distance in 15 seconds at London on May 22, 1880. At grote te March 19, 18584, Hi. Lowe just equalled this performance. At Providence, RK. 1I., December 20, 1869, George Forbes, now owner and driver of the cele- brated trotting horse Oliver K., made the American record of 15 seconds. H. M. John- son just tied this performance at Titusville on October 18, 1883. Volkeshas been running through the Shenandoah Vailey as Fred Hirst forsome time. He defeated Rodgers there a short time since. Messrs. Price and Williams of Youngstown backed him against Smith on Saturday. Troubadour Holds Out. The Turf, Field and Farm says: ‘‘The non- appearance of Troubadour in public since his memorable tussie with Miss Woodford at Sheepshead, on the 29th of June, has evoked many inguiries as to his condition. He was shipped to Chicago after his victory over the great Dwyer mare. Capt. Brown and Trainer Ro. ers were at first inclined to leave Troubahourinthe East, but as he was well engayed in the West, and had only afew en- agements hereaway, they determined to race Finn at Chicago, and then return to Saratoga and rest up. The trip to Chicago was madeinsafety. Theson of Lisbon and Glen- luine was never in better health or spirits than on hisarrival. He was putin gentle work at Washington Park. Three days after his arri- val, however, he was givena pres opener at three-quarters, and, although sbowing no. symptoms of lameness, there was that even- ing fever in the left fore leg. Rogers thinks the horse broke through the upper crust of the track, which at that time was almost as hard as asphait, and that the friction burnt the cuticle, As there was no enlargement, his theory is probably correct. The leg was sore tothe touch, and, sooner than take chances with the Suburban winner, he was stopped in his work. We saw Troubadour at Saratoga last week. He is looking ee weil and isinelow work, His eye is as bright asa aes ; his legs as sound as a trade-dol- ar.’? Jim Gray Sold for 88,000. CHICAGO, August 10.—A ripple of excite- ment has been raised in turf circles by the an- nouncement made that John 8. Campbell, the Momence (lil.) turfman, purchased yester- day of JamesGray &Co. the 3-year-old bay coit, Jim Gray, Ten Broeck, out of Alice Gray, by Enquirer, first dam Lizzie A., by Wardance; second dam, by Le Compte. Early in the spring Jim Gray wus a great tip for the Kentuck Derby, and after he had won the Tennessee Derby at Memphis those who backed him in the books begantothink they had their tickets already won. The horse went wrong shortiy afterward, and though at times he showed great bursts of speed yet he had a tendency to run in, which caused him to lose several races that he could have won. Since arriving here, ‘however, he has rapidly rounded to, and in the last few races that he has run he hasshown himseif to be a race-horse of the first quality. The price paid was $8,000. Bicycle Budget. H. H. Morris is out again after a bad attack of malaria. He will prerany take a promi- nent part in the carnival parade. Secretary Editor Aaron writes from Phila- delphia to the PosT- DISPATCH to say that not only are there six cyciing clergymen in the city of Brotherly Love, but that these six are D. D.’s and havé fourteen ministerial con- freres wheeling with them; so that Philadel- phia’s clergy contribute twenty riders to the ranks of cyclers, Names of ony — are coming inata agg | rate to W. M. Brewster, 309 Olive street. One list was forwarded to him yesterday containing the names of 180 wheelmen. Some idea of the spirit prevailing among all classes of riders is shown by the letter received yes- terday by Secretary Brewster from a non-¢elub syotee who said: ‘*‘Count me in for the parad e, ut me anywhere you want me.’’ Frederick- town’s eight League members are talking parade as much as their time will permit, and they are sure to send a good representation to St. Louis in October. Mr. F, A. Seely, principal examiner of the Patent Office at Washington, who conducted the civil-service examination in this city Sat- urday, is one of the best-known cy- clista of the capital, being a member of the Capital Club. He is a distinguished looking gentieman, with imposing military side whiskers, and he _ surprised 4 Post-Dispatcu reporter who, in knick- erbockers, called on him during the examination, by grasping him by the band with a found-a-long-lost-brother grip, and going at once intoa long series of cycling reminiscences with special reference to a diagrain of his last header. His sudden return to Washington Saturday evening pre- vented the entertuinment that several wheel- ta had proposed for his Sabbath delecta- on. BAD LITERATURE, Special Agent MeAfee Finds it Increasing in Vileness and Quantity. ‘*T have never seen in all my work forthe Society for the Suppression of Vice so much nastiness as has come under my notice in the last three months,’’ said Agent McAfee this morning. ‘‘Formerly there were works of standard filth and vile dodges of various kinds, but these have been en- tirely thrown in the shade by the new nastiness I now find in circulation. I located the other day in Ilna- diana a headquarters of distribution for a edad eapage book which is being sentthrough the mails. In addition I bave three books en- tirely unsurpassed in the history of bad liter- ature for the unadulterated and inexcusable filth of their contents. They came into wy possession moon A and I shall soon, I think, be able to provide a _ residence for the publishers acd distributors. I cannot say wherethey are published, but they are alto- gether too easy to get. The title pages say they are published twoin New York and one in Jerusalem, but that is not correct. The West produces more of this filth than the East. Some really able men have given themselves up to its preparation and dissemipation.’’ ‘*What positions do such men occupy?’’ ‘*Strangely enough, in many cases they are preachers and men of professed godliness. They are men whose morals have gone to seed. They think and taiks0 much about morality and goodness that they grow to think secretly about the other side of the question, and it’s the old story—first abhorrence, then pity, and then they take a dive inthe dirty water them- seives. Afterthat they get to splashing the slime, and do it more artistically, and with more dainage than the men who were raised doing nothing else, At Cincinnati the other day we convicted a man for sending a circular through the mails advertisiug a lst of books published by himself. he was given five years in the penitentiary. He is a man of real ability, capable of making a reputation in xood literature, but he chose to out-Swinburne Swinburne.’’ ‘‘Is ‘Laus Veneris’ interdicted “by the so- ciety?’’ “No, we have never paid any attention tothat class of matter. Itis difficult toreach. It is not nastiness in the open flush. The ‘Hont soit’ motto is applied to it by those who would yass judicially upon such works. Yet, Swin- Cases in his own forin ia bad enough. Young Thompson of Kansas City, who killed himself and young wife in New York, was a victim of that poet. I have seen a letter written by Thompson’s room-mate toafriend. Hesaysthat he ana Thompson had been for several months before the mar- riage reading Swinburne, andthe latter had become thoroughly cracked. He frequently told this friend that his only ambition was to be really loved onceand thendie. He saidif he was sure that he was loved be would kill himself. Ana he did. That is the explanation of what has so long been a mysiery. He was made insane by vile literature. We cannot suppress ail that stuff, but when the stuff gets ia bed as this —— and this ——, we can and do suppress it. ‘*since May 1, Ihave made ten arrests, se- cured eight convictions, with sentences ag- regating three years and ten moxrths, with nes and costa amounting to $1,350. In spite of the increase in the fiood of wickedness we hope eventually to limit the diffusion of such stuff to very sinallareas. To entirely eradi- cate it would be impossible.’’ **Is St. Louis a headquarters for literature of the prohibited sort?’’ **‘] suppose there is less of it here than in any other large city in the country. Cincin- nati, Chicago and New York are the centers, but there is no city in the country that equais St. Louis in the number of these aileged pbysicians who pubiish marriage guides, and stuff of that description a demoraliz- ing influences under a garb of aileged scien- tificinformation. More evil medicines are ad- vertised for sale in St. Louis, drugs, etc. We have arrested more of those people here than anywhere else in the coun- try. Itis not the worst part of this that these advertisers do not send the medicines or the information they offer for sale, ‘*The fondness for this class of matterand the peculiar bent of mind which inclines a man to search after nastiness, is akin to that epecies of insanity that induces & man to make an in- decent exposure of himself. Itis insanity ofa kind, but, fortunately, the courts have not been bothered by pleadings of that sort.’’ NO OBSTRUCTION, Judge Cady Decides That Bessehl’s Dlumi- nated Sign Can Continue to Swing. Emil H. Bessehl, the saloon-keeper, was be- fore Judge Cady this morting on a charge of obstructing the street, the case against him having been brougbt by Gen. Turner of the Street Department. lo front of Mr. Bessebl’s saloon on Broadway is a larce illuminated sign between the second and third stories just onaline with the tele- phone and electric light wires which puss along the street. Asthe sign interfered with the wires, Mr. Bessehl was requested to lower it, but refused to do s80 and complaint was then lodged avainst him of obstructing the street. Under the law no obstructionof any kind is allowed to extend in front of a building over eighteen inches at a height of less than twelve feet from the pavement, but as this sign is far above that height it does not come under the law. te = ut up.

Matters in Court—A Divorced Husband's At tempt to Escape Alimony—The Alice Pear Phillips Habeas Corpus Case—Facts froy, Under the Dome. In the matter of the injunction granted 9s week by Judge Dillon in the Circuit Court ro. straining the Anheuser-Busch Brewing Asso. ciation from laying a track connecting ity brewery with the Iron Mountainraiiroad, y, Broadhead of counsel for the Brewing 4..,. ciation submitted a motion for rehear),, which was overruled. He then move; . Court to grant an appeal and an affidavit in support of tion. The appeal was granted, and he the, asked that the Court order thatthe bond give, on the appeal should operate a3 & sUpersedeag thatthe Brewing Association might proceeq with the construction of the switch. He saiq under the latest rule in chancery practics which he quoted that discretion lay in ths Court granting the appeal to allowit to operats as a supersedeas or to modify to a discreti))n. flieg his MhH- ary extent the decree of the Court appealed from on the defendant's giving a bond sufficiently large to indemnity the plaintifis for any damazes sustained. Mr. Sullivan for the plaintiff, Glassner, op. posed this proceeding claiming the damaces that would result trom the construction of the switch would be irreparable, and could not be computed with sullicient definiteness required in a suit for damages. The wrong that would be done the plaintiff would not be one act but would be continua. ous. The granting ofthe order asked wouid not stultify the decree of the Court. Judge Dillon overruled the motion. Mr. Broadhead said it had been decided in that Court that an appeal operated as.a super- sedeas and he would usk that the appeal bond be fixed high enough to cover all damages as he intended to press that. point. The amount ot the bond was placed at $20,000. Mr. Broad- head says he will endeavorto alter the posi- tion taken by the Court, but how this is to be accomplished he will not say. Biggans Objects to Intemperance, While Judge Dillon was wading through mo. tions in chambers this morning a spice of va- riety was thrown into the dragging Monotony of events by an application on the part of James Biggans for a modification of a decreg of the Court,under which he was coimmpeiled to pay his divorced wife, Winifred Biggauus, $)5 per month alimony. The motion was tale by O’Neil Ryan, who told the court that Mrs, Biggans was misapplying the money so jai not expending it for maintenance, it for drink. She had been picked up drunk on the street, he said, and if his client wasty be compelled to pay alimony the Court sioud direct that it be properly expended. I. b, Foulon, the poet, appeared for Mrs. “ivcans, He was not advised of the facts, he sad, but was ready to proceed onthe motion. He en. tered objection to it that it was not suMeientiy specific, that the Court could not say low the woman should expend the money, and Big. gans could only obtain a modification by showing that the amount was in excess uf tie woman’s needs. Policeman McDonald of the Central District was placed on the stand. Hetold of arresting Mrs. Winifred Biggans at the cornmerof S.ath and Spruce streets on the night of July 2. pbe wus so intoxicated asto be unable to teil her name or residence. She was practicaliy discharged the next morning in tie Police Court, it being her first offense. ‘*How did you know the woman's name was Biggans?’’ queried the song-writing law- ‘ , r. ** My partner told me.

SEVERAL UNITED STATES WAR SHIPS : LEAVE FOR THE GULF. All Serviceable Munitions of War at Fort Hamilton Inspected—Ordnance Shipped to san Antonio, Tex.—Unusual Activity at the Army Posts—Military Movements— Statement of Officials of the Navy and War Departments. By Telegraph to the POsT-DISPATCH. New YORK, August 10.—There was activity at the army posts. in and near New York yes- terday, and communication with Washington was continuous. At Fort Hamilton the ser- viceable munitions of war were inspected, and it was determined just how much could be de- pended on from that quarter upon a sudden call. Fort Wadsworth, Willett’s Point, and David’s Island had already reported. At pier No. 20, East River, tengun carriages for field batteries were delivered to the Mallory Steam- ship Company for immediate shipment for San Antonio, Tex., via Galveston. They will be carried by the Rio Grande which will sail to-morrow. Col. Hodges of the Quartermas- ter Department, who shipped them, said that the shipment was made in the ordinary course of business, and not on special orders at all. It is said that more carriages fand some cannon willbe putaboard to-day and that arms are being shipped from Washington and Rock Island and also from Waterviiet Arsenal. The United States ships Juniata and Vandalia left the Brooklyn Navy Yard early last week under orders, it was said, for the Pacific. At Ellis Island they received their supply of ammuni- tion, and they have remained there ever since. The Essex left the navy yard at 6 o’ciock yesterday morning, joined them and got her powder. The Brooklyn also is ex- pected totake her departure to-day or to- morrow. Atthe navy yard itis said that the Essex was to join the Chinese squadron if she wasn’t needed nearer home. Under Sealed Orders. By Telegraph to the Post-DISPATCH. WASHINGTON, D.C., August 10.—A rumor was current here last night to the effect that troops and warvessels are being massed on the Mexican border. Officials of the War and Navy Departments were seen by your cor- respondent this morning and asked as to the truth of therumor. They all denied that any- thing in the nature of hostile demonstrations have yet been contemplated, but decline to divulge the nature of sealed orders of the Gaiena, which put to sea last week, her desti- nation being unknown, An oid diplomatic officer of the Government said to-day: ‘‘We have really come to the end of our rope in the Cutting case. The Secretary of State has demanded his re- lease and the Mexican Government has practically told us to gotothe devil. It is my firm opinion that Cutting will be hanged or shot before he will be released. They will, of course, claim that he tried to escape. I know the Mexican character and feei certain that some excuse for ridding the country ofdim will be found.’’ What will be done next? ‘‘Ido not see that anything can be done by this Government un- til Congress meets again. The President is absolutely powerless. The Secretary of State has demanded the release of Cutting and the Mexican Government has declined to comply with the demand. The Constitution provides that only Congress shall declare war, and while it is within the province of the President to mass troops fora hostile demonstration—and the Mexicans know this as well as we—unless some action is taken toward enforcing the demand for Cutting’s release, he willin all robability remain in prison, unless he is nged in the meantime.’’ Military Movements Against Mexico. New YorkK, August 10.—A Washington dis- patch to the Sun says: There are some rumors about townof impending naval and military movements against Mexico, but they cannot as yet be construed into anything definite or startling. They may be, perhaps, indicative of a determination on the part of the Governmentto be forehanded and pre- pared for an emergency. The Galena was ordered to the Guif last week, and this action certainly does give rise to much comment in army, navy and political circles, it being considered an extraordinar proceeding in time of peace. The Vandalia and Juniata were ordered to Valparaiso last Friday, and itis whispered by the knowing ones thatit would not be eg Seay J if these ships, when they stop at Key West for supplies, should be intercepted there by dispatches directing their course tothe Guif. As toour other available naval material there are three or four ships at Portiand that might be ordered off in a similar way, but it is not believed that they have been as yet. As for troops, there are now between 4,000 and 5,000 soldiers inthe Southwestern Territories which could be easily marched to the Mexican frontier, but if any such movement were contemplated, it would probably be directed by sealed orders, unless the purpose of the Government were to overawe and frighten Mexico. But no public orders have been issued, and if there are any sealed orders enroute the War Department will, of course, keep them secret. DE HAVEN SENTENCED. Light Punishment Under Pleas of Guilty— Correction Court Notes. In the Court of Criminal Correction to-day Brent De Haven, alias Wells, alias F. C. Bell, by consent entered pleas of guilty to petit lar- eeny in two cases of grand larceny, and was sentenced to three months in the Work-house in each: In one he was charged with stealing $84 from M.

Yesterday after- noon Coroner Nidelet visited the sceng and on examining the bones already found con- firmed Dr. Kirchner’s opinion and pronounced the bones those ofa human being. The Coroner then ordered the vault cleaned, and when told how the work had been unaccountably discontinued before completion he requested Sergt. Keeble to have the vault cleaned. Offi- cer Gillespie was detailed to E. Doepke’s house, on Carr street, with instructions to have him resume work atthe city’s expense. In the meantime Anton Huber was questioned. He told his story about notifying Joe Masserang, the proprietor of the saloon and the landlord, who ridiculed the suggestion that the vault contained a man’s body. Huber stated that after the first bones were taken up he had looked down in the vault with his son-in-law, who held a light, and had seen the outline of a man’s head and shoulder, which he believed was immersed in the flith, This mistake was easily explained. He probably saw the reflection of his own or hig son-in-law’s face. When ,Masserang’s rooms were visited the Ooroner was ise formed that the landlord and his wife had gone ont riding, which was thought remarkable as they had been told that the Coroner would call during the afternoon. Officer Gillespie returned and re- orted that Doepke, the vault-cleaner,refused oO clean the vault, stating that he would not contract to do any work until he had entirely recovered. When Masserang returned he said that he would have the vault cleaned to satisfy the neighbors’ suspicions, and sent word to Doepke, who immediately sent men out to do the work. At anearly hourthis morning an oid belt, a pocket-book, someribs, four arm bones anda partof a man’s backbone were found. EARLY THIS MORNING A HUMAN SKULL was brought up from the vault and placed with the other evidence in the case. The skull was probably that of an old man, as the front up- per teeth are decayed. The bones show a red discoloration at the back of the skull, such as if produced by a blow with some hard instrument. The skull could not be closely examined to-day. With the other bones it will be forwarded to the Coroner this evening. All the bones and clothing will be cleansed and prepared for examination and investigation. t is expected that the clothing will be identified when exhibited. To-day a report reached Capt. Fruchte at the Fifth District Police Station that about a year ago an old man living in the ex- treme western part of the city mysteriously disappeared. The gentleman who gave the in- formation could not remember the locality more definitely than stated, nor the names of the parties, though the cir- cumstances were still fresh in his memory. The old man bad been employed in the West End near Cote Brilliante and started totownto buy some new clothes. He drew $100 from his employer to make these and other purchases. Since then nothing had been heard from him: On hearing these facts Capt. Fruchte or- dered his men to make general inquiry for such a case in the western end of the city. No such case had been reported atthe Fifth Dis- trict Station. A PECULIAR CIRCUMSTANCE pointing toward foul playis the fact that the clothes were off the bones, and that while the latter were denuded of flesh by the lime which had been thrown into the vault the clothes were preserved intact. This leads the police to the conclusion that the body was not clothed when it was thrown or fell into the vault, THE INQUEST. ‘ Coroner Nidelet is awaiting the result of this inquiry and the publication of the above facts before beginning the inquest. The unusual features about the Case are that Doepke should have discontinued the work of clean- ing the vault before the completion of the work, and that Masserang shouid have consented to this failure to carry on the contract after the matter was repeatedly called to his attention by his ten- ants and neighbors, who eontinued to discuss the matter. Even aiter a physician had ex- amined the bones brought up the neighbors and pronounced them human ‘basies Masser- ang showed no desire to clear up the mystery. Th police believe that this may have been an ignorant conclusion as Masser- ang,though innocent of any guilty knowledzce, may have feared causing any further talk about his house. No matter what his knowl- edge is his conduct has had the opposite effect, and his reluctance in causing aprompt and full investigation has caused more taik than ail the subsequent dis- coveries. The police have furnished the Coro- oner with the names of all the witnesses for the inquest, which properly should at least be begun at once. NORA’S KNIFE, Held for Using It Viciously on Norma Langdon, The preliminary examination of Nora Way on a charge of assaulting to cill Norma Lang- don crowded the Court of Criminal Correction to-day with soiled doves and their friends. Nora was an inmate of the house on Tenth street kept by Norma, and was in arrears for her board. On July 13 last she went out, and when she returned Norma claimed she had been out looking for new quarters, while the irl claimed she had been mailing a letter. Norma expressed herself in rather strong language about a girl who would jump a board billin that way and a fight occurred in which Nora piied a knife vigorously and cut her boarding mistress several times. Judge Noonan held Nora for the Grand-jury in the sum of $300 to answerto a charge of as- sault to do great bodily harm. LABOR LORE, Stubborn Fight of Factory Hands—The Grand Trunk Switchmen. AUGUSTA, Ga., August 10.—Several weeks ago the Augusta factory hands struck for an advance of wages. They numbered 600. Since that time there has been much correspondence between the Knights of Labor and the pro- prietors. The strike was sustained by the other factories. To offset this organiza- tion the six cotton-mill Presidents organized for protection against the Knights, and yesterday decided = that the quick- est and best way to settle ali troubles at the mills was to notify the operatives that unless the strikers inthe Augusta fac- tory returned to work. this morning ail the mills inthe city would be shut down. The Knights of Labor regard the action-af the mill Presidents as a lock-out and will do the best they can. The Augusta Factory operatives have decided not to go back at tbe old rates. The mills will therefore be shut down to-day and 4,600 men will be idle this week. The Grand Trunk Switchmen. CHICAGO, August 10.—Trouble is brewing be- tween the Grand Trunk authorities and their switchmen, During the recent troubles, a man named Beyer, in the employ of the Lake Shore road, had a quarrel with one Hurnett, a Grand Trunk switciman,in which the latter was shot by the former. The Lake Shore peo- ple requested permits to discharge on the ground that they provoked the quarrel and their request was promptly complied with. Atthe preliminary hearing of the case before a Town of Lake justice, Hurnett was exonerat- edfrom blame and Beyer was held to the Criminal Court. The Switchmen’s Union now demand the reinstatement of Hurnett, threat- ening to strike if refused. A committee of the Union will waiton the Grand Trunk officers a in regard to the matter. Itis reported that the Louisville & New Albany people are having a similar difticulty with their switch- men. . Fatal Explosion.

By Telegraph to the Post-DISPATCH. NEw YORK, August 10.—Michael Davitt spent yesterday quietly visiting friends and shun- ning the gaze of the public. He is suffering from insomnia induced by his arduous labors during the recent political campaign in Great Britain, when, on every week day for three weeks, he spoke at least three times and oc- casionally five times, having made more than sixty speeches without rest. His nervous sys- tem became shattered and he needs rest. But, as he remarks, his friends in America are 80 hospitable that he has about made up his mind to defer all thoughts of rest until his re- turn to Ireland, which will probably be about the Ist of November. His campaign in America will be almost as arduous as that in Great Britain. Already telegrams and let- ters inviting him to visit towns and cities all over the Union are pouring in upon him. None will be accepted until after the Conven- tion of the Irish National League at Chicago onthe 18th and 19th insts. Mr. Davitt will probably leave for Chicago next Friday. He goes there in compliance with his acceptance of an invitation extended to him six weeks ago by Patrick Egan, in bebalf of the United Irish Societies of Chicago. The meeting will take place in Ogden’s Grove next Saturday after- noon, and will be one of the largest ever held in America. Thatit will be enthusiastic goes without saying. After the convention he will visit some friends in the Western States, arfd then will gradually come east, speaking in behalf of Ireland in the principal cities. Unless some political crisis shall arise in Great Britain, he will not leave this country until November 1. This is his fourth visit tothis country. Mr. Davitt was seen by the correspondent of the Post-Dis- PATCH yesterday afternoon. He was very in- dignant over a pretended interview published in a New York paper yesterday morning, and said that THE ONLY TRUE STATEMENT inthe article was the last one which said he was going to attend the Chicago convention. He ‘denied having had suchan interview. ‘‘That being so, Mr. Davitt, will you be kind enough to communicate to the people of the United States through the OST.DISPATCH your views upon the Jrish question?’’ ‘*] ghall be pleased to do s0.’’ Apropos of the. WoORLD’S Gladstone testimon- ial, I will say here that it has been defin- itely decided that the grand old man will visit Ireland in October. At Dublin the grandest welcome will be given him which any man not of Lrish race ever received. The freedom of the city has already been given him. Among the festivities will be a public banquet at which he will make one of his speeches,’’ ‘‘Are the three delegates—Messrs. O’Brien, Redmond and Deasy—who are now on their way to the convention at Chicago, representa- tive men?’’ ‘*In every respect. Wm. O’Brien, the chatr- man of the delegation, is the editor of United Ireland and a jour- nalist and orator of pre-eminent ability. Although leas than 40 years old, he has enjoyed the honor of being imprisoned by ‘Buckshot’ Forster in 1881, and is justly one of the most popular men in Ireland. In the last Parliament he represented South Tyrone, and would be representing itnow haditnot been for the over-confidence of his friends who did not make the contest they should. His defeat by a Conservative makes the supporters of Parnell less numerically in this Parliament than inthe last. He is of slight and intellec- tual build, fair naired and blue-eved. John Redmond is the Member for New Ross in the county of Wexford in the new Pariiament, and has been amember of Parliament forthe last five years. Heis a gentieman of wealth and his name is one of the oldest in the county. His father represented the county in Parliament for many years. Although only 382 years old he has a repu- tation as ONE OF THE MOST ELOQUENT ORATORS in Ireland. John Deasy is a Member of Parlia- ment from West Mayo. In the last two Par- liaments he was Mr. Parnell’s colleague from Cork. He is about the same age as Mr. Redmond, and is studying law with a view to becoming a barrister.’’ ‘‘What was the main factor contributing to the defeat of the home rule movemeunt at the recent election in Great Britain?’’ ‘‘The appeal made by the. Tories and Unionists to religious bigotry. This stirred up the passions of the dissenters by crying that the Protestant religion owas in danger if Ireland should gain home rule and the Church of England people were frightened by the oldcry ‘The church isin danger.’ ‘No popery’ was effec- tive in England 200 years ago during William of Orange’s time, and recent events have dem- onstrated that even the intelligence and pro- gress of the nineteenth century has not de- stroyed its influence. Nevertheless it will never be so effectual again.’’ ‘‘Some persons—notably Henry Labouchere, in London Truth—have claimed that the ardent and practical sympathy displayed toward Ireland in the United States has tended to injure her cause in England. How is that?’’ **That is not true. he sympathy of Amer- icans has helped Ireland more than anything else. Without the money which Americans— notonly Lrish-Americans but Americans of almost every descent—have contributed, we could have elected but a few members of Par - liament. The English people have been greatly impressed by the strong friendship for lrelaad manifested in America. It has hac an im- mense moral effect. Nothing makes the aver- age Englishman respect another so much as to see him have friends and money. Ireland has had both in America, and has reaped immense advantagethereby. We have never lacked for money in any of our cam- paigns since the American press and people took up our cause.’’ ‘‘If Mr. Gladstone should retire who would be his successor?’’ ‘‘I do not believe he will retire at present. He is stilla very vigorous man, and his heart and soul arein this work. Ilook to see him lead for along time yet. If he should retire 1 believe the Eari of Rosebery will be his guc- cessor. Lord Rosebery isa Home-ruler, and one with Gladstone ou all the reat questions oof the day. John orley has been mentioned. He is an able men and anxious to do justice to Ireiand by giving her home rule; but he has not the politi- cal following nor influence of the Rosebery family, and wealth still counts for a great deal in England. Rosebery has both, and brains in addition, By marrying Miss Hanna de Rothschild he has the influence of the power- ful plutocracy at his back. Neither Lord Har- rington nor Mr. Chamberlain can succeed Mr. Gladstone in the leaderenty of the Liberal arty for the simple reasan that their follow ng isinaminority of that party. The Glad. stonites constitute a majority of the Liberal party and will. They can name his successor and THEY WILL NAME LORD ROSEBERY.’’ ‘‘Has the result of the recent election struck a serious blow at the cause of home rule?’’’ ‘‘Most emphatically no. I look to home rule as an established fact in four or five years at the furthest.’’ ‘What will be done during the present ses- sion of Parliament which will concern Ireland especially, if anything?’ ny can wat tell what will be dome, but Lord Salisbury will probably introduce a bill to establish ‘elective county boards in = En- land, Wales, Scotland and Ire- and. In Ireland the fiscal business of each county is transacted by rand-jurors, in whose selection the people Save no voice. This device is a mere make- shift, and will not be accepted by Mr. Parnell, In the beginning of this agitation such a measure might have been accepted as a tem- porary expedient, but itis now too late for eventhat. The Lrish know that its peryeee is to stifle home rule and they will not per- mit it to be. passed, When Parlia- ment h considered the Queen’s speech, and business comes up, I think Mr. Parnell will object to granting the supplies unless Salisbury will consent to ‘show his hand’ on the Irish question. Under the pres- sure which Parnell can exercise grog os A mar announce that he will introduce an Iris pi next year. There is a good deal of probability that he willintroduce an Irish land-purchase bill, modeled after Gladstone’s, but not giv- ingthe landlords so much money. A Dill of that kind will always be unpopular in En- and. Although the Tories side with the Irish andiords, there is no wish to add to En- giand’s taxation by paying them 80 large asum as WI i the present Pi would be. be ot + Union Savings Association in whose* keeping ! duration? Some English politicians are Ror aesying & long lease of power for the “‘Idon’t believe it. The Liberal part United is still in a majority and can vote the Salisbury Government down. They are liable to do this on questions not Irish, such as the Eastern or Egyptian, for instance. The peo- ple of England do not wish to havea forei war. An exhibition of ‘jinzosim’ on the partof the Salisbury Government would be Opposed by the whole Liberal party, led by Gladstone, Hartington and Chamberlain, and they would vote them out of office. Sucha vote wouid, probabaly, be followed by a dissolution and a new election.’’ FIGHTING OVER A FORFEIT. A Proposed Horse Race Not Run—East St. Louis Notes. Mr. Thos, Fekete, the real estate agent, Owns atrotting marein whose ability to out- speed any equine in this section of the coun- try he has always had unlimited confidence. He was always willing to back his opinion of his horse with money, too, but though he boasted much of Sarah Bernhardt’s speed, he never found anya one until recently who had a horse which its owner was willing to back against his mare. Several weeks ago he met John Neuroth driving along Missouri avenue and he made sowe slighting remarks about the borse the latter was driv- ing. Neuroth offered to bet him $100 that his horse could beat ‘‘Sarah’’ ina rece of mile heats best two’outofthree. Fekete thought that Neuroth’s proposition was a veritable snap and he took himupatonce. Twenty-five dollars was posted immediately in the hands of V. B. Whitney, and it was agreed that the two meet there the next day at ll o'clock and put up the re- mainder of the stake. kekete, during the intermediate time, learned that Neuroth’s horse could trot in 2:25 and when: he went to W hitney’s office the next day he did not feel half as confident of his mare’s ability to beat Neuroth’s horse as he did when the bet was made onthe previous day. When he arrived at Whitney’s office he found that Neuroth had not yet made his appearance to post the remainder of the bet. It was then ll o’clock, anda bright idea struck him. The time set forthe meeting to put up the $75 was ll o’clock, and he so informed Whitney, requesting at the same time that the $25 forfeit be turned over to him. Whitney complied with his request. Just then Neuroth came in and draw- ing out $75 handed it to Whitney. The latter refused to accept it and informed Neuroth that since he was two min- utes late the money was forfeited to Fekete. Neuroth was indignant, but ex- postulation was in vain, and in order to recover his money Neuroth entered suit. The public knowledge of the bet peving been made may cause the principals trouble, as betting on horse racing is an indictable offense in this State. The suit was on trialin Justice heane’s Court this afternoon. John Muller, Joe Miller, BillfBaker and Jacob Knief were arrested this morning on suspicion. Amanwho gave his nameas J. C. Nerien, and claimedto be from Nameoki, was taken into custody this morning for acting in a de- mented manner on the streets. He was*sent to Belleville. The City Council met in regular session this morning, all the Aldermen being present, but an adjournment was taken without any busi- ness being transacted. A petition for the abolition of township or- ganization is now being circulated throughout the county. and is being numerously signed. ver five hundred sigatures have been secured in this city alone. When one-fifth of the voters of the county are secured, the petition will be presented to the County Judge and the question = sub- mitted by him to the people at the next general election. Mr. Mat. Stookey, candidate for Sheriff sub- jectto the Democratic nomination, was in town this morning talking with the boys. The L. & N.

The funeral of Miss Ethei Hull, who died from burns received in attempting to light a fire with coal oil, took place this morning and was largely attended. A RAILROAD CONTRACT. Suit to Recover Certain Township Bonds— Legal Notes. Alexander D. Wtison is plaintiff In a suit filed to-day against the Unian Savings Associ- ation, the Memphis, Carthage & Northwestern Railroad, C. Montague and certain other persons unknown to himto recover bonds Nos. 27 to 48 inclusive, issued by Oswego Township, Labette County, Kan., in aid of the M.,0.&N.W. R. R. in 1873. These bonds were given to C. Montague as _ trustee to be delivered to Edward Burgess on the completion of the latter’s contract to con- struct portions of the road. Burgess & Mon- tacue agreed to deposit these bonds with the they now are. Burgess on the completion of his contract with the M. O., ._@ . Ww. : R., assigned all his Tight to the bonds to the plaintiff Wilson who made demand for them on the savings association, but was refused as he did not have the agreement of Montague, the trustee, to the assigument. Montague is out of reach and his consent cannot be ob- tained. Other unknown parties make claim to interest in the bonds, and Wilson wants his ownership passed upon by the Court. Three suits ih attachment were this after- noon filed in the Circuit Court against Isador Kauffman, Wm. Wolff and Herman Kern, partners, by Levi L. Brown, Wm. B. Wood and A. W., T. 8. and B. E.

DESTROYED BY FIRE, Two Slaughter-Houses Reduced to Ashes— Narrow Escape of the Owners. Louis Schaefer’s slaughter-house, rear of No. 3917 to 3921 Garfield avenue, was destroyed by fire at 9 o0’clock last night. The hJaze origi- natedin Schaefer’s slaughter-house which was completely burned with alot of dressed beef and mutton, and about twenty sheep in the pens. It next extended to John P. Huber’s place, rear of Nos. 3909 to 3905. His slaughter- house and stables like his neighbor’s were constructed entirely of frame, and were de- stroyed. In an attempt to rescue & new wagon from one of the sheds Mr. Huber was seriously burned about the face andarms. Héinhaled the hot smoke and feil unconscious near the stable, but was res- cued by some ofthe neighbors. In an attempt to remove the beef from his slaughter-house Schaefer was also burned about the face and arms. A physician was calied and attended bothmen. A fine milch cow was burned to death in Huber’s stables. The fire then spread tothe buildings rear of A. Ockel’s salogn, Nos. 3901 and 3908 Garfield avenue, but by the efforts of Fire Companies, Nos. 4and17 and Chemical Engines, Nos, 4 and 5 which responded to the. alarmn from box 515 the flames were checked here. The slaughter-houses were saturated with greene and burned rapidly. Mr, Schae/er’s loss s about $6,000, partiy insured in the St. Louis Mutual InsuranceCompany. Mr. Huber’s loss of $3,000 is covered by a policy in the Wash- ington Mutual. Mr, Ockel’s loss, about $500, igs covered by insurance. Emil Grier, & car- nter, who was bifilding an addition to chaefer’s slaughter-house, lost his tools and ecaffoiding. A MYSTERIOUS TRAGEDY. The Dead Body of a Young Woman Found on the Outskirts of Chicago. CHICAGO, Angust 10.—A terrible tragedy was revealed in the discovery of the body of a comely young woman on the -prairie near Jefferson, this morning. Lying on the prairie about 150 feet from North avenue, a young man found the unfortunate girl this morning. She had been shot twice in the head, one wound being inthe forehead, and the other behind the bt ear. There were indications of a struggle and the victim had been unsuc- cessful in defending herselt frdm the assault. She had been seen between® and Ww o’ciock lust night, in the company of two =“. who eu uen' vicin- tly observed leaving ed BRUTAL BATTLES. THE WAR ON THE POLICE AT BELFAST RENEWED THIS MORNING. Both Parties Well Provided With Ammunition —The Fighting Carried on With the Cool Ferocity of a Military Campaign—The Number of Killed and Wounded Not As- certained—Diplomatic Curiosity Regard- ing the Gastein Meeting—Foreign News. Special Cablegram to the Post-Dispatch. LONDON, August 10.—It is impossible to ex- aggerate the brutality which has characterized the Belfast riots. Both parties are well pro- vided with arms and ammunition. The at- tacks upon each other are conducted with the cool ferocity of a military campaign, with rather more. reckless, sporadic Savagery than in common riots. When the mobs meet there is perfect fusillade of bot- ties, brick-bats, stones and every conceiv- able kind of missile. In many cases iron bolts are thrown with deadly effect. Fora time the ammunition on both sides was ex- hausted, but was fully renewed yesterday. *‘One engagemént,’’ writes a special cor respendent on the spot, ‘‘was conducted with the most deliberate precision, Nation- alists had possession of a field underthe shade of some trees, from which they made targets of their Protestant fellows while the latter occupied an embrasure on the opposite side of the road, in which they lay down and took aim with extraordinary coolness. GUNS AND REVOLVERS WERE FIRED for hours. Itis believed that the record of the killed and wounded will never be known. At one time last night several prostrate bodies could not be removed owing to precision of the fire.’’ At Sprivgfield sixty persons were shot. Among the workmen in Belfast it is the gen- eral belief that the police acted unwisely in causing 80 many deaths. The constabulary are thoroughly worn out. A telegram sent to the Irish Executive at Dublin, yesterday, announces that the armed police are completely done up and requests that the military should be sent to filltheir place. Over twelve hundred men, of allarms, reached Belfast yesterday. The Times says: ‘‘Hicks Beach must know that it is his duty to put down the disturbances if he has to give marching orders to every available regiment in the Queen’s army.’’ THE GASTEIN MEETING. In diplomatic circles here the greatest curi- osity is felt concerning the imperial meeting at Gastein. The first signiticant feature is the apparent collapse of the triple alliance as shown by the factthat, while Bismarck and Kalnoky were closeted together, the Russian Premier De Giers, who arrived in Berlin last night alone from St. Petersburg, goes to-day to Franzenbad, ‘‘to take the waters and on matters connected with family affairs.’’ The second feature is the presence of Herbert Bismarck, presum- ably to sign adocument, to which signature Continental opinion mostly regards the meet- ing as an assurance of peace. I have received from an eminent continental . publicist, who is personally acquainted with all the great actors: ofthe diplomatic drama, and whose previous works are authorities on the subject,who is now pre- paring to issue another account of the Balkan Peninsula, aletterin which he begs that the publication may be hastened as a private Cis- patch from Russia assures him an outbreak is imminent. Ireland. TEMPORARY QUIET. Lonpon, August 10.—A special correspond ent of the Central News at Belfast telegraphs that temporary quiet has been restored there, thanks to the tactical distribution of military forces. The persons wounded in the riots are making fair progress toward recovery, except Inspector Bull of the Royal Irish Con- stabulary, whois dying. Inquests are being held onthe bodies of those killed, and the funerals of some of the victims will be held to-day. A DESPERATE RIOT IN SPRINGFIELD. Noon.—A report has been received here that a desperate riot took place this morning in Springfieid, Belfast. A FEW PERSONS WOUNDED. A later dispatch from Belfast says that only afew persons were wounded in theriot in Springfield this morning. FIERCE FLAMES, The Forest Fires in Wisconsin Extending —Several Villages Destroyed. MILWAUKEE, August 10.—It is reported from Green Bay thatthe village of Bug Suamico is so beset by fire that the people have sent 4 re- guest for a steamer to take them to Green Bay. About a hundred gathered at tLe river's mouth to await the arrival of the steamer. The fires in the Oneida Reservation swept northeastward through the town of Law- rence, burning twenty-five dwelling-houses and Williamson’s saw-mill. The flames are reported to be moving toward Nicollet. The Chicago & Northwestern track at Pensukee is reported burned, and there is a rumor that the village is being destroyed, Railroad traf- fic was obstructed by the fire. Timely Rain. MARQUETTE, Mich., August 10.—A light shower fell early this morning, cooling the at- mosphere and subduing the forest fires some- what. The fires are burning flercest north of the city. No damage has yet been done except in the basaing of the slaughter-house, the loss on which is very light. At the works of the Lake Superior Powder Company, two miles north of this city, men have been fighting fire all night with success. There is no danger of the fire reaching the city at present. West- ward from here, along the Marquette, Hougn- ton & Ontonagon Railroad, there are occasional brush fires, but no more tothe east of here. Along the line of the Detroit, Marquette & Mackinaw Railroad the fires are not so flerce as yesterday. Uniessa strong wind springs up there will be no further danger. The fires here were mostly among the underbrush and did not cause much damage. Death of Ex-Gov. Stevenson. CINCINNATI, O., August 10.—Ex-Gov. John W. Stevenson of Kentucky died this morning at his home in Covington, Ky. He was taken ill while attending a church meeting at Sewanee, Tenn., and was,brought home yesterday morning. His death was unexpected. De- ceased, besides serving us Governor of Ken- tucky, had held the position of Representa- tive 4 Congress and of United States Sena- tor. He presided irthe National Democratic Convention in this city in 1880, when Gen, Hancock was nominated for President. He was 74 years old. peme KNIGHTS TEMPLAR Pocket Guide TO THE City of St, Louis, A beautiful little book, containing Many items of interest to visitors.

Her story, given above, is re- produced substantially as she tells it, and can e asily be verified by calling on or addressing her atgper residence, 5118 McKissock avenue. INFALLIBLE SIGNS, Certain Evidences Which Can Not Be Misunderstood. In the practice of a skillful physician there occur many cases like that of Mrs. Gollenberg. In many Cases the patients have pains abont the chest and sides, and sometimes inthe back. They feel dull and sleepy; the mouth has abad taste, especially in the morning. A sortof sticky slime collects about the teeth. The appetite is poor. Thereisa feeling likea heavy load on the stomach: sometimes a faint, allgone sensation ut the pit of the stomach which food does not satisfy. The eyes are 8 unken, the hands and feet become cold and feel clammy. Aftera while a cough 8 ets in, at first dry, but attera few monthsit is attended with a greenish colored expectora- t 8 ion. The patient feels tired all the while, and leep does not seemto afford anyrest. After a time he becomes nervous, irritable and gloomy, and has evil forebodings. Thereisa giddiness, asortof whirling sensation in the head when rising up suddenly. The bowels ry become costive; the skin is < t t and hot at imes; the blood becomes thick and stagnant; he whites of the eyes become tinged with yel- low; the kidney secretions become scanty and high colored, depositing a sediment after s] t 8 tanding. There is frequently a spitting up of he food, sometimes with a sour taste and ometimes with a sweetish taste; this this is frequently attended with palpitation of the heart and asthmatic symptoms; the vision becomes impaired, with spots before the eyes; there is a feeling of great prostration an weakness. -— — CAUSE AND EFFECT, Some Very Important Facts Regarding Bad Breath. What will endure against it? The face may be lovely, the manner charming, the form per- fection. But the breath from between those ruby lips and pearly teeth is horrible. The friend approaches and turns away in horror. He says nothing, but in his soul is disgust. The husband’s kisses are discontinued. Even the children turn away their little faces. To wife, mother, sweetheart, friend, what abomination cen be likened to a bad breath? tunate. t It is an invisible leprosy d4solating the pos- essor, ——_ visited upona single unfor- ostracises the innocent and makes he most beloved ¢he most abhorred. ‘*‘Can't 1 get rid of it?’’ asked a lady of the writer some time ago. ‘‘I have had it for years. I can’t come near anybody without secing t t UPON THEIR FACES hat look of disgist, which tells me plainer han words could tell me that the odor of a breath has sickened them. Some of my teet were in bad condition, and a dentist told me that they were the cause of my bad breath, He persuaded me to have them taken out and r eplaced with false ones. But now my breach is worse than before. What can I do?’’ The answer is very simple, The lady’s voice had that peculiar sound that a voice takes in great part through the nose. In later con- versation the lady acknowledged that she had a discliarge from the nose of mucus, soreness of the nose and back part of the throat, cough, pain across forehead just over the eyes, hawking up of phlegm, loss of appetite, roaring in the ears, sore eyes, and a general footing of wretchedness. In fact, »he® had c chron catarrh, and the catarrh caused her bad breath. out of a hundred of bad breath are caused b Cc t NINETY-NINE CASES : atarrh. The poison mucus drops down the broat into the stomach, coats over the food like the white of an egg, and the stomach be- comes the seat of catarrh, assisting in causing t he bad breath. Then the lining of the stom- ach itself becomes subject to disease, and by some the patientis said to have dyspepsia. The victim may not know that she has the dis- ease. But there is merce” any surer indication of it than the breath itself. The lady in question was sent to Dr. McCoy. She was treated by him for catarrh. In two months she was cured, and since that time her friends have never been able to detect the slightest odor from ber breath. Itis as sweet as an infant's. Bad breath is usually the result of catarrh. Remove the cause and you remove the result, Cure your catarrh and your bad breath will be an offense to your triends no longer.

The Sad Tale of Suffering Told by a Fam- ily from Texas. A woman carrying ababy in herarms and fol- lowed by two little children about 4 years of age came into the Mayor's office this morning and accosted Sergt. McGrew She said she was Mrs. G. W. Brockway and that her husband, who was seeing to their baggage a° the Union Depot, would be in soon to see the Mayor. Pending the ar- rival of the husband the # lady told her story. She / and her husband were na- tives of Ashtabula Coun- ty, Ohio, and had lived d near the town of Warren. Mrs. Brockway is a graduate of Oberlin Seminary in that State, and her hus- band also has a good education audis & Man of intelligence. A year ago this month they bought 160 acres of land in Taylor County, Texas, and removed to that State to cul- tivate the newly acquired property. Tay- lor County is in the south- western part of the State, and the Brockway farm was located about forty miles south of Avilene. Arriving at the piace the husband immediately began preparations for planting. On the 19th of last September, nearly one yearago, it rained in Taylor Coun- ty, since which time not a drop of water has fallenin that section of the country. The planted crop showed its head above the yround, but burned to dust before it was an inch tall. It was with greatest difficulty that water was procured for the use of the people. The stock either died or wandered to the river where they remained. In the town of Abilene drinking water sold for 10 cents a bucket, a price it has steadily held for months. The quality of the water was very infer too, having a slimy feeling and a repulsiv@ taste. Cornmeal was a luxury, and the only other article of food within the reach of the poor settlers were prairie dogs. The littie baby that tne lady carried in herarmsshe was un- able to afford sustenance. At last, worn out with waiting and praying for rain, the com- munity decided to leave the country anda general emigration is taking place. Thirty families leftthe section on the same day that the Brockway family started. The Mayor of Dallas assisted them on their various ways. When the lady had finished her story Mr. Brockway, the husband, came into the office and exhibited a letter from the Mayor of Dal- las corroborating their story. Mr. Brockway saidthathe regarded the money paid for the Texas farm, which was the savings of some years, as entirely lost. When he left the farm the house and its contents had been aban- doned. He would have likedto sell his house- hold goods, but there was no money among the neighborsto buy. Ali his own had long since been exhausted, and as the transporta- tion of his family was a mat- ter of charity he of course could not carry his household effects on the same terms. Mr. Brockway says the drouth em.- braces severai counties, including Taylor, Nolan, Runnels and Tom Green. Some aid has been sent tothe inhabitants by the State government, butasit came inthe shape of ees it was more of a mockery than a re- ef.

The Evolution of the Widower from a Mel- ancholy Worm to a Gay Butterfly—An Unhappy Situation Which Has Its Com- pensations—How St. Louis Stay-at»Home Husbands and Fathers Spend Their Time. The most learned advocates of the Dar- winian theory can present no more remark- able phase of evolution than is to be found in that species of the human family known as ‘‘The Summer Widower.’’ Time has, and not so long ago either, when this miserable. wretched creature, made old and decrepid be- fore his time by keeping his nose forever to the grind-stone, was a subject of commisera- tion and pity,as alone and desvlate he munched his crusts in some secluded back room, not only for economy’s sake, but that all the world might know from the closed doors and darkened house that his family were out of town. Such a state of existence naturally pro- duced a depression of spirits, and a melan- choly cast of countenance, which proclaimed his solitary and bereaved condition to his friends who met him a square off. Of course the immense expense attendant upon the ‘‘family outing’’ atthe seashore seemed to make absolutely necessary the practice of the severest econ- omy in their absence. He reasoned thus, however, years ago, when in his callow existence; he has learned to fly now, and knows a trick worth two of that, yes, worth adozenif his family numbers so many mem- bers, and that is to economize in the winter season, induce them all to stint and save for the coming summer. Having by this stroke of genius paved an easy way tor an an- nual summer tour, there could be no earthly reason for making himself miserable, while all the rest were happy and enjoying them- selves. Thus by easy stages he emerged from his chrysalis state, the dull plodding worm, into the gay summer butterfly. There is a benedict in the West End, as hand- some asa picture, anda clever fellow if there everwasone. Hehasa wife quite as attract- tive, and perfectly devoted to him, one of those foolish wives who cannot be induced to leave him—and he has seemed entirely satis- fied to have itso. Until recently, he took a little fly by himself—business, he said, took him to some such wicked place as Chicago, and, Jike the rest, he was ruined by this little taste of freedom. He came back full of tender solicitude forthe health ot his wife. She must leave at once for some point, where she could have the ocean breeze or the lake breezeat least. To her assurances that she was wellandentirely com- foftable and happy in their large well-venti- lated home, he replied that it was only be- cause of herignorance of the delights of the sea and lake breezes; he could see that she looked pallid and thin,even went so far as to weigh her, calculating that the intense heat had at least befriended him to the extentofa few pounds. On tle contrary, she was surprised and delighted to find thatshe was ten pounds heavier than ever before. The controversy is still going on, Among those who have already enjoyed a brief spell of emancipation, or who are enjoy- ing it still, are to be found the following bon comrades: Gov. Stanard,whose thoughts seem to be In- tent upon wheat, during the morning hours; whentired nature demands refreshment he lunches heartily at Mike’s, usually taking water melonand pie. He goes home to an eariy dinner and his 6évenings are usually di- vided between his two grandsons, Stanard Tilton, and E. O. Stanard, Jr. Mr. Frank Kauffman is a model summer widower, handsome and agreeable he might fiy high if he would, but he won't. In the absence of his wife the mill seems to occupy his entire time during the day; inthe evening he sits solitary and alone upon the doorstep of his deserted home with only his thoughts for his companion, his lighted cigar Shining like aftixed star in the surrounding gioom. Occasionally he seeks diversion ina quiet visit to some friend who, more fortunate a he, has his wife on the doorstep beside im. Mr. Dean Cooper, whose wife has gone to Europe, is pursuing the even tenor of his way. He seems unchanged, except by the demoral- izing influence of the weather, for hatliess, coatless, cullless, collarless, he dines at Cafe Samberger, still preserving, however, his Germania Club smile. To a few intimute friends he has _ =Iintrusted the secret of his recent purchase of an exquisite ‘‘Nude,’’ which is on private exhibition at Redheffer’s, and advises them to take a peep at it pretty quick, as he is going to transier it to his private apartments. Mr. Leon Hull is seemingly deeply inter- ested in real estate, and consequently drives about @ good deal, and holds numerous in- terviews at his down-town oftice, no doubt in regard to housesforrent. Almostany evening he may be seen alone and forlorn upon his door-step. The neighbors were shocked not long since by hearing distinctly issuing from the back of the house these words: ‘‘Kiss me, Nellie,’’ repeated several times. Subsequent espionage has developed the fact thatit must have been the parrot which belongs to his lit- tie daughter Nellie, who is absent with her mother. He is anxious, however, that the affair may not be mentioned. Mr. Wayman McUreery ‘has been looking quite chipper in his coaching hat, disconso- late of course, but able to pull through a short season by means of billiards, base ball, the Cave and the Arabian Nights. He has joined his wife, however, at Chautauqua. Mr. Olay Pierce is very dapper in a high plug hat, and grey suit to match, with a choice little boutoniere of forget-me-notsa, or heart’s-ease pinned upon his left lappel. He lunches at the club and quits business at 4 o’clock every afternoon, and declares every other afternoon ahaif holiday. He hasastylish rig and span and drives every afternoon in Forest Park and dines at Delmonico’s. Mr. Frank Aglar’s wife has been absent so shortatime that he has scarcely had time to look about him and stretch his wings. He thinks, however, that he will find enough ‘‘tlodge business’’ to keep him from being lonely. His left eyelid droops a little, involuntarily when he speaks of ‘‘the lodge.’’ It may have been a wink, or it may have been a hallucination of the imagination. Mr. Joseph Specht and Mr. E. V. P. Ritter are both summer widowers. They are kept pretty ciosely confined to business during the various commit- drive out home together, and to have a great deal to say to each other.
