EDIRION PROVOKING A CONFLICT. MEXICO’S DESPERATE GAME TO REPLENISH AN EMPTY TREASURY. Gen. Daniel E. Sickles’ Theory of the Con- troversy With Mexico—Secretary Bayard Firmly Determined—Alleged War Prep- arations in Mexico — Senator Beck Thinks the State Department Too Aggres- sive. By Telegraph to the Post-DISPATCH. NEW YORK, August 12.—Gen. Daniel E. Sickles was asked by the Post-DIsPaTCH cor- respondent yesterday afternoon whether he thought there was any probability of a war between the United States and Mexico. He answered that it seemed probable, and in tell- ing why he thought so, set forth a novel and striking theory of what Mexico would have to gain in a war with our Government. ‘‘T have the pleasure, said he, ‘‘to know President Diaz of Mexico and his distinguished father-in-law, Senor Romero. They are en- lightened statesmen and are too wise toem- bark in any difficulty with the United States. No doubt the ignorant portion of the people of Mexico believe they could wage 4 successful war with the United States, but Gen. Diaz knows better. If they persist in this apparent contention that a citizen of the United States can be punished in Mexico for acts done in this country, you may be sure that there is a motivefor suci provocation that is not apparent on the surface. Mexico is poor, you may say bankrupt. She has little money and no credit, and needs both badly. She has nothing to sell or pledge but land,unimproved land, of which she has a superabundance. I would not be digposed to criticise Gen. Diaz or his Cabinet for anything that might happen in the lower and distant territories, but IF THEY ACCEPT THE RESPONSIBILITY for what is done in Chihuahua with regard to Cutting, and ifit shall transpire from an ex- amination of the official records of the court, that Cutting is punished in Mexico for anal- leged offence committed in Texas, and the federal authorities of Mexico insist upon the exercise of sucha jurisdiction, this country cannot tolerate such pretension, whether ex- ercised by Mexico or any other power.’’ How then cun Gen. Diaz and nis Cabinet in- sist upon a line of conduct certain to provoke u conflict with the United States?’’ asked the reporter. They probably desire a conflict,’’ replied Gen. Sickles. But what has Mexico to gain?“ In comparison with the United States, Mexico is a feeble power, very much inferior in military, naval and financial resources. California and Texas, unaided, could conquer her. My solution is that she would like to repeat the maneuver of Santa Anna in 1846. Mexico knows that if we take a slice of Chihuahua, Sonora and Cower, California, that is to say, if we can rectify our boundaries b y drawing a line from the mouth of the Rio Grande to the Pacifico, we would take territory valuable to us and valu- able to Mexico, and that we might do now, as we did in 1846—pay Mexico handsomely lor, the territory taken. Public opinion in Mexico would not permit that Government to sell this territory by any peace- able transaction or n if a conflict, how- ever, could be provoked by the Mexicans, and we help ourselves to such parts of their territory as we may want, we could- well afford to pay a good round sum, say $20,000,000 or $30,000,000, or even $40,000,000, und such a replen- ishment of the Mexican treasury at this time would enable Diaz and his Government to go on very handsomely during the rest of his term of office. Mexico has tried without success for years past to raise large sums of money like this which she sorely needs. She is unable to pay the interest or principal of her public debt; the money markets of the world are closed against her; she has ngt the means to pay herarmy or her civil service and can not sell peaceably. The mob would hang Diaz and his Cabinet in the streets, but if $30,000,000 or $40,000,000 of gold can be drawn into the Mexican Treas- ury from the United States after a campaign or two in which we would take possession of Chihuahua, Sonora and Lower Culifornia, Mexico would accept the situation as she has done before, and the United States would have the satisfaction of making a fair compensation as we have always done in our history for all the territory we have acquired.’’ No Back Down. Ciao, August 12.—The Times’ Washing- ton special says: Asaresultof a conversa- tion last night with the Secretary of State it may be stated that there is absolutely no truth in the story sent out from the City of Mexico that our Government has withdrawn its per- emptory demand for Cutting’s release or changed its attitude in this case in any way. There is no disposition to hurry or annoy or embarrass the Mexican Government or its courts, and the claim which its Minister here makes that it has a right to punish all American citi- zens for an offense committed in the United States will never be admittéd. The Mexican officials have not charged Cutting with having committed a libel in Mexico; they have charged him with uttering a libel in the United States. Thisis shown not only bythe form of the charges, but by the fact that the Texas law bas been taken into the Mexican Court and translated by way of showing that the act of Cutting was an offense in the jurisdiction where it was committed. The case cited by Mexican authorities of a Mexican who committed an offense in the United States and was punished for it by Mexico is not a case in point, because our Government cannot concern itself about what Mexico does with her own citizens. Neither are the libel suits in France and England against the owner of the New York paper cases in point, for they were civil suits and they were based on the circulation of the alleged libel in the countries where the suits were brought, an allegation not made in this case. Mexico has distinctly claimed a right to punish a citizen of the United States for an offence committed inthe United States by a criminal prosecution, and our Government will not assent to this in any form. Senator Beck’s Opinion. BALTIMORE, August 12.—The Sun of to-day has the following interview with Senator Beck on the proceedings in Mexico against A. K. Cutting: The Senator informed the Sun cor respondent that he does not believe any man with ordinary intelligence can question for one moment the aggressiveness of the present Administration in battling with all public questions, be they foreign or domestic. He stated most emphaticaily that there is no round for doubting the courage of the State epartment in dealing with the Cutting case. On the contrary, the Senator is inclINed to think that the Secretary of State has, if any- thing, been too aggressive in the Mexican matter. He says that the United States should try to induce Mexico to repeal the law which renders an American citizen purishable in Mexico for his utterances in the United States. Itisabad law and will create mis- chief so long as it remains upon the Mexican statute book, but we can not gain anything by declaring war against Mexico, for if we did we would simply piace ourseives in the atti- tude of a big man picking a quarrel with a small boy. An English Opinion. Lonpvon, August 12.—The Times speaking of the Cutting case says: The chief difficulty in the way ofa settlement of the matter lies in Cutting’s appeal to the angry passionsof the Texans, and desires of the dormant raider on both sides of the utier for an outbreak which would re- sult in the restoration of contraband trade. President Diaz of Mexico can have no wish for a collision with bis powerful neighbor, and he must be well aware that there are enemies of Mexico on both sides of the frontier who are clamoring for war, Mexico . ingly reasonable in dealing case, considering the provocation, and although Secretary Bayard has been a little too exacting, the action of the President and the Senate is all that could be desired. In that action lies the assurance of peace. Mexico’s War Preparations. GALVESTON, Tex., August 12.—A special from Eagle Pass to the News says: It is very evi- dent that Mexico is getting in readiness should a war be declared by the United States. There are now 200 troops stationed at Piedras Negras, and it is stated on good au- thority that 500 more leave Tuesday for Pie- dras Negras. It is also known that 100 are stationed at the pass below Gerroro, under command of Lyeanor Vaidez. One company of United States cavalry, consisting of fitt men, is stationed at Eagie Pass, and this place is defencele ss. Very Significant. WASHINGTON, D. C., August 12.—As illus- trating the effect which a diplomatic contro- versy has upon a matter of business, it is said that pending the settlement of the Cut- ting matter the ‘intention of the Mexican Government to erect a legation building in Washington has been suspended. | PLEADED NOT GUILTY. Commissioner Squire and Contractor Flynn Arraigned in Court. NRW YORK, August 12.—Messrs. Squire and Flynn appeared this morning to enter pleas to the indictment found against them on Mon- day last by the Grand-jury. This formality was avery mild affair when considered in con- nection with the wild excitement which at- tended their appearance before the same bar two days ago. Judge Cowing presided and was on hand early, prepared to hear from the lips ofthe accused, or through their legal repre- sentative, the simple word to indicate whether or not they would acknowledge the many alle- gations contained in the lengthy document presented against them by the jury. Politicians and other friends of the distin- guished prisoners were conspicuous by their absence. When the clerk of the court called out ‘‘Rol- lin M. Squire and Maurice B. Fiyun, on bail, to the bar,’’ there was no response and the pro- ceedings were deferred fora few minutes, at the end of which the defendants walked in with their counsel. They at once stepped to the bar and the clerk said: ‘‘Kollin M. Squire and Maurice B. Flynn, you are indicted for a misdemeanor. Are you guilty or not guilty?’’ We desire,’’ said Mr. Newcombe, their counsel, ‘‘that the please be entered sepa- rately. In behalt of Mr. Flynn we plead not guilty, but reserve the right to withdraw this pleu and interpose any other which may be decided upon, later.’’ A similar state- ment was made on behalf of Mr. Squire. ‘*‘] think,’’ said Judge Cowing, ‘‘that the form of your plea is perfectly proper, provid- ing that within a reasonable time you avail yourself of the right to enter another plea. —— you could enter a special piea within a week. The indictment is a long story, said Mr. Newcomb of the defense, and l must exam- ine it, but a week will probably suffice.’’ Assistant District Attorney Nicoll said he wanted to notify the defendants and their counsel that he would move for the trial on the first Monday of September in one of the parts of the General Sessions Court. Mr. Newcombe suggested that the case be called then for the purpose of fixing a day for the trial, but Mr. Nicoll said that the trial would go on upon that day. Mr. Newcombe said that one of the defendant’s counsel (meaning Col. Ingersoll) would leave this country on 1 to have an operation 1 upon his throat in Paris. He would be gone until the middle of September and perhaps later. Mr. Nicoll said that this was not sufficient grounds for a eve ey and Judge Cowing set the case or trial on September 5. FATHER BERGIN’S DEATH. Sudden Taking Off of a Prominent Jesuit— The Funeral To-Day. The many friends of Father John S. Bergin, S. J., Vice-President and Chancellor of the St. Louis Univereity, who were prepared for the worst by the announcement in the Post-Dts- PATCH last Friday of his hopeless condition, have been inexpressibly saddened by that young priest’s untimely death, which occurred at Florissant, Tuesday evening at 11 O' clock. The deceased was 81 years of age, but had al- ready received such honors in connection with his educational and administrative labors at the University as to lead his friends to ex- pect that much greater honor lay in his future pathway. His sudden departure from the scenes of such earthly promise was caused by a cold contracted in April which developed into quick consumption, rendering unavailing his recent trip to Florissant where he had hoped to regain his old energy. Father Bergin was born in Cincinnati in 1855, and wasthesonof an upholsterer. The boy on arriving at a school age was sent to the St. Louis University, where he continued as a student for six years. Then he was admitted to the novitiate at Florissant, and completed that course with marks of ability, his desire to enter the priesthood and his family’s concessiom to his wishes rendering easy his first\step toward his holy office. He continued his studies at Wood- stock, Md., and studied and taught together at Cincinnati, St. Louis and Omaha. While a professor at the St. Louls University, he showed so much genvine kindness while pre- fect of the study-hall that his memory is cherished by all the pupils of that time. On completing his theologisal course, be was ordained by Archbishop Kenrick, at the College Church. Ninth street and Christy avenue, in February, 1885. Scarcely six months later the Vice-President’s chair was vacated aud Father Bergin, though hardly past his 30th year, was elevated to that position, being the youngest priest to hoid that rank, He carried in- to his new office the qualities of energy and assiduous care of details that characterized his labors as a student and professor, and it may be afterall that his sudden surrendering of this mortal life is an eloquent but mournful roof that he placed duty before physical com- ort or even safety. THB FUNERAL SERVICES. The funeral took place this morning at the Novitiate in Florissant at 10:30 o’clock. Owing to the absence from the city of nearly ali the Jesuit fathers there was no delegation from the University. According to the usual custom only 4 lain low mass was sung by ather Hagerman who was not only celebrant, but also had charge of the remains. The procession formed by the community was very impressive. The celebrant wore a black coat, the deacon and sub-deacon dalmatics, and the. scbholastics surplices. Thecasket was borne by four brother priesta who tenderly laid their sleep- ing friend to rest in the Novitiate burying ground. The Robbery Record. A hand-saw belonging to James Barron, and another belonging to David Stevens were stolen Tuesday night from the building being erected on Channing avenue between Laciede avenue andthe Manchester Road. Richard Smith mourns the loss of a suit of clothes, which was stolen from his room, No. 1900 Nort way. Between $3 and $5 in change was stolen Tuesday night from the saloon of Thomas Gun, 2001 Chouteau avenue. The boarding-house of Mrs. Temple, No. 1519 Olive street, was entered Tuesday and 34 taken from the pocket of Samuel Myers and a Waterbury w from anotner boarder. Legal Notes.

The crime for which Metz was executed was committed last September under the follow- ing circumstances: Metz and Cassidente worked together on the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad between Fairmount and Morgan- town, W. Va. Oassidente saved money enough to make him rich in his native place and in September last he drew several hundred dollars from the bank and started for Ituly, walking to Uniontown to take the cars. Metz went with him and returned, saying he had seen his friend off on the cars. He had been too poor to marry the girl be loved before, but now he began to give her dresses, etc. and the wedding day was fixed. Two days later Cassidente’s body was found in a sugar camp near the Uniontown road riddled with bullet holes. Suspicion pointed to Metz and he was arrested.

More Decapitation. By Telegraph to the 'oST-DISFATCU. WASHINGroN, D. C., August 12.—The at- mos phere is full of rumors that a number of heads are soon to go off, There seems but lit- tle doubt that the resignation of Postmaster Conger of this city will soon be asked for, Conger is a son of Senator Oonger of Michigan, and was appointed by President Arthur about three years ago. It has been supposed that Mr. Conger would be allowed to serve until his term of office expired, and no doubt would, had he continued in the even tenor of his way and not become interested in political affairs. The reason assigned for the President’s intentions are based upon the conduct of Mr. Conger which is regarded as an open violation of the civil-service laws, Mr. Conger’s father, the Senator, is a candidate for re-election and the Legislature to be chosen at the coming election will choose his suc- cessor. The Postmaster, being interested in the success of his father, is alleged to have written a creat many letters to his personal and political friends urging that certain men should be elected to the Legislature who would be favorable to the return of his father to the Senate. It was not however, until one long, of the letters fell into the hands of some Democrats who are intensely opposed to the re-election of Senator Conger or any other Re- publican. The letter was sent to the Presi- dent, with information that others of the same character were scattered over the entire State. Don M. Dickinson of Detroit, who occupies very close relations with Mr. Cleveland, has taken occasion to im- 22 uponthe mind of the President, that r. Conger shouldgnot be permitted to thus influence political airs in the State. It is said the President will cause to have made a thorough investiga- tion of the charges and if his conduct savors of civil service violation he will remove him at once. Furious Florists. By Telegraph to the PostT-DISPATCIHt. WASHINGTON, D. C., August 12.—There are quite A number of expert gardeners in this and —— who are somewhat indignant. When it was given out that the President had purchased his country home and intended to lay out the grounds in a style worthy the Chief Magistrate of the Nation, he was immediately esieged by gardeners from almost every place tor the job of making the designs for the flower beds. Someofthe applicants were so eager to be temporarily in the employ of the President that they offered to work for almost nothing. The Superintendent of Public Buildings and Grounds ordered George H. Brown, the head gardener at the White House, to report to the President's new home every morning, for the purpose of superintending the work there. This the other gardeners say is hardly the fair thing, as Brown con- tinues to draw asalary of over $2,000 from the Government. Brown also has two of his men to assist bim. The Government pays their saiary also. It isnot known wicther Brown gets any extra ay. But itis generally believed he does not. grown has been well cared for since he has been in the service of theGovernment,although he bas never taken the trouble to become a nuturalized citizen of the United States. He is credited with the remark that as soon as he accumulates enough money he intends to return to Scotland and go into business. Two or three years ago, when Robert Garrett was fitting up his magnificent place in Baltimore, he emploved Brown to lay out the gardens for him. Brown used to work a sharp scheme then, He would call at his of- fice each morning and give structions to his assistants and take the train for Baltimore. said that it took him nearly two years to isfy the sesthetic taste of Mr. Garrett.

WASHINGTON, D. C., August 12.—The first of the large 3 per cent bond calls will be made this week. The matter was definitely agreed upon last night. The call will be for 510, 000, 000, 7 it would have been for more had it not been for the fact that heavy payments will be required be- fore the call matures. These payments in- clude pensions and claims§ awards, The re- ceipts for the past month and a half have not met the expectations of the Treasury officials. The receipts, however, will increase very ma terially within the next six weeks, when the fall trade sets in from thetobacco tax customs and whisky taken from bond. The second cali will, as agreed upon, be made forthe 5th ot September, or within the usual six weeks’ period, and the increased sources of revenue dur- ing the next four weeks will make 34 to fx the amount at 315,000, 000, and perhaps more, though $10,000,000 ig the amount agreed upon, with the under- standing that it will be made more it the re. ceipts aggregate the amount approximated. It is generally believed that the third and pos- sibly fourth calls will be made at about the same lapse of time as between the firstand second, but there has been no posi- tive action taken or plan agreed upon. Mr, Fairchild is of opinion that the third call can and will be made for not less than $10,000,000 and erhaps as high as $12,000,000. While there ig an ample surplus he says, the cails will be made and governed by the receipts.

REDUCING RATES, Demand of the Kansas City Board of Trade —A Convict Pardoned. By Telegraph to the Posr-Disrarcu. JEFFERSON CiTy, Mo., August 12.—The Board of Railroad Commissioners and Messrs. Miller and Meade, representing the Com- mercial Exchange of Kansas City, were consultation yesterday aft, ernoon discussing the question ot a general reduction of existing transportation rates, the visiting gentlemen favoring sucha reduction The Commissioners have had this matter under consideration for some time, They have been met, however, with this difficulty that heretofore many reductions on certain classes of freights made by them have not been complied with by the railroad companies, nor has any effort been made to enforce these reductions. Hence the Commissioners have felt indisposed to make further reduc- tions until those already made have been adopted by the railroads or some dispo- sition shown to enforce their adoption by parties interested in the reduction of rates. The Commissioners have, however, now under consideration schedules of reduced rates on articles in the four general classes | which will be acted upon by the Board as early as possible. The Commissioners have no power to enforce their own orders reducing rates under existing laws, Gov.

The party were discussing the chances of the different candidates forthe nomination for Supreme Judge in the coming Demoe ratio Convention. Dyer listened a while and then prefacing his statement with the remark that, according to his understanding, what had pussed between Judge Henry and himself was not ofa confidential nature, he volun- teered his information. I met Judge Henry at Sweet Springs, said he, ‘‘and asked him what chance he stood of carrying St. Louis. He replied that his prospects were excellent; that Francis and Butler were for him and that he couldn't lose. I asked him if he expected to carry the Eighteenth Ward and he said ‘no’ that his friends did not live in that ward. ‘** udge. said 1, it is said that you are rely - ing on your recent decisions to pull you through?’ es.“ he replied, ‘Ihave stood by the party and the party will stand by me.. The Post- DisraTCH informant stated further that Dyer said that the Police Board and ballot-box decisions were mentioned at this stage of his conversation with the Judge, and were connected with the Judge's reply to Dyer's rr Speaking of the reports concerning the Judge's railroad decisions, Dyer said to him: zunge you are accused of being arairoad udge.’’ In reply Henry admitted that he had ren- dered a number of decisions in favor of the railroads and added in extenuation that the eneral run of nisi prius judges were so preju- iced against railroads that they would decide in favor of almost any charge that could be trumped up against aroad, and it frequently became necessary for him to correct their de cisions. All of this valuable information Mr. Dyer let go without reservation or reluctancy, for the reason, as stated above, that there was nothing confidential in this, his little talk with Judge Henry. The Judge's remarks on railroad decisions will be particularly relished by country judges, who will now begin to understand why they have been ‘‘reversed’’ in the past. MAC PUTS IT BRIEFLY. Secretary of State McGrath arrived here last night.

FILLEY’S FINGER, This evening the Pohlman-Smith Republican City Central Committee will meet at 18 North Fourth street, to discuss the question of elect- ing “regular’’ Republican delegutes to the State Convention to be held at Sedalia, September There is no doubt about the position which the committee will assume—the primaries will be held beyond a doubt, and at to-night’s meeting allof the preliminary arrangements will be made for the election of Delegates. W bile the Committee is in session on Fourth street, another meeting of the Silby faction will be beld at the ‘‘old man’s’’ house on Chestnut street. Some ofthe big guns of the party willbe present for consultation with Mr. illey, and very likely a plan will be decided upon forthe ensuing campaign. Mr. Filleyand his followers say that they have held out the olive branch of peace to the disaffected element of the party, headed by Ewing, Grund et al., and have done everytiuing with- in reasonable bounds to bring about a submission of the claims of the rival com- mittees to the vote of the Republican party; but that all overtures looking towards ‘‘har- mony’’ have been rejected and now nothing reinains for them but to place a regular ticket inthe field and enter the lists against the Democrats.

Lloyd, and P. C. MacGurie. The members of the committee have come to this city and are at a down-town ho- tel. There are a large number of witnesses to be examined, and much documentary evidence will be presented. It is supposed tha? it will take two weeks to complete the investigation. men in New York, headed by J. MacGurie, Dis- trict Master of District 94; James E. Quinn, one of the auxiliary members of the General Executive Board, and Victor Drury, formed the Home Club, whose real purpose was first to gain control of the labor movement in this city and then to get control of the entire order and to run the Knights of Labor for their per- sonal ends. They have carried out the first part of the programme, it is alleged, by the most questionable means, and have nearly succeeded in the last. The accused members of the Home Club deny all the charges and say that they court, rather than fear, the fullest investigation. The committee will be- gin the investigation to-day.

The true reason of the transfer, it appears, was asudden coolness between Maj. eGin- niss and the War Department, which might have resuited in THE GALLANT MAJOR'S INCARCERATION. His transfer is looked upon in army circles as avery small punishment for the violations of 9 rule of which he bas been guilty, and which were first revealed through the proceedings of a court-martial held at the Bar- racks last month. Maj. McGinniss was major of ordnance in charge of ordnance stores at the Barracks. He had under him two com- panies of about sixty men. The Major is un married and a housekeeper looked after his quarters in officers’ row. According to army rules and regulations the Major was entitled to the board and keep of one cow in addition to his own rations. The Major kept a cow. Being single he could not dis- pose of all the cow product in his ow house - bold. So he authorized his housekeeper to make butter of the spare milk and seli it to the officers at cost or for money sufficient to pay her for her trouble, This was about eight years ago. The house- keeper churned during her spare hours, and offered her butter to Maj. McGinnis?’ com- rades at 50 centsa pound. It met with a ready sale. Maj. McGinniss heard of the results of his housekeeper’s business venture, but he did not reprove her for her avarice. In- stead he proposed that they enter into artnership for their mutual benefit. The fajor would purchase another cow and the housekeeper could extend her churning opera- tions. This was done. The Major stood in the background while the wicked and irre- sponsible housekeeper did a thriving business in butter, cheese, milk and cream. Soon the demand exceeded the supply. The Major pur- chased another cow, The herd gradually in- creased with the increase of business until tifteen cows bearing N THE M’GINNISS BRAND were wandering around tne Government reservation eating Uncle Sam's grass and con- verting it into milk for the Major, As the herd increased the Major detailed some of tie sixty men under him to take care of them. Then he found that the necessary expenditures for hay and oats in the winter would make a large hole in his profits and he tolled off a few more men to cultivate an oat field and to garner the grass in the haying season. The dairy farm grew beyond the proportions of the Barracks and the Major extended his business operations to South st. Louis. The McGinniss brand of but- ter became very popular, and the McGinniss cheese was known all over Carondelet. With his dairy products selling at top price and his pasturing and labor costing him noth- ing, the Major was more than doubling his salary, which was about $2,000 a year. In an unlucky moment he ordered one of his sub- ordinates to take some milk to Carondelet at 9 o’clock at night. The soldier, who was a re-enlisted man from Governor's Island and well acquainted with the retulations, refused. He was immediately — in the guard-house for disobedience, hortly after his incarceration he asked a gen- eral court-martial. The request was referred to 2 McGinniss, who reported against it. Then the prisoner made out papers setting forth the reasons for his incarceration, and addressed them to the Adjutant-General. They passed into Maj. MeGinniss’ hands, and it is supposed. got no further. A second and a third set met with no response. Meantime a non-cominissioned officer who was heard to remark that the soldier’s incarceration was ‘tad shame’’ was himself locked up for six weeks. At length the prisoner directed his complaint to the Adjutant-General direct. A general court-martial was ordered and beld at the Barracks. The soldier was ac- quitted and ordered released. An Inspector sent out from Washington made a private report on the bovine freaks of Maj. McGinniss, in consequence of which the So society mourns, but the Major thanks his WHERE IS SHE? Puzzled About Her Location. There was nothing unnatural in the parting. She was kissed severa! times and returned the caresses with apparent feeling. But the uncommon part came after the farewell, She said she was going to visit friends in Chicago, but it was observed after she had gone that she had left no address. But she was not to be gone long she had said and they weren't very anxious. Bat Mrs. Buckner said to-day she had not heard from her daughter since she kissed her at the gate and didn’t even know whom she was visiting at Chicago. Her husband, who worked inthe elevator in Fast St. Louis, had called tosee his mother-in- law frequently since then, and had ex- pressed equal ignorance with her regarding bis wife’s whereabouts. Mrs. Buckner also said thatshe was very much distressed over her 8 peculiar By and couldn’t account for it. She and her husband had boarded sometimes in East St. Louis and then in the city and seemed to move felici- tously over the sea of ™mat- rimony.

She had never made any lament over this except to murmur once or twice that she thought her grandpa might have left her something. The Forest Fires.

Itis the opinion of the authorities that the murderers of Sauget were also the perpetrators of the Ferber rob- bery at Pittsburg several days ago. NOTES. The sale of the Hicckley estate, which was to have taken place to-day, was postponed in- definitely by Judge Underwood on account of the arrangement made with the Mort- gage and Trust Company of Philadelphia whereby the creditors of the defunct Henckley Bank will receive 50 cents on the dollar, the money being paid by the Mortgage and Trust Company and the Hinckley estate given as collateral.

At Hiawatha and Lawrence, Kan., at 1 o’clock it was 105 in the shade.——Late cables trom the United Kingdom were said to be firm and higher. Wheat was strengthened bythe sharp ad- vance in corn, which following the firmness developed by yesterday’s export purchases brought a good many buyers into the fleld this morning. The tone of the public cables was such as to lead one to believe Europe never would buy another bushel in this coun- try, they being so uniformly dull, but while United Kingdom markets were dull, pri- vate Continental advices reported rm and advancing markets and ocean freights et the seaboard declining. Thisled to the be- lief that further large export purchases would be made to-day. The latest from New York up to 1 o’clock was that 14 loads were taken, and this was all heard of from any point.

THE public feels the profoundest sym- pathy for those toiling editors who are trying to make out a case of backbone for our Secretary of State. Tur New York Republicans have con- cluded not to hold a State convention this year; and thus they miss a golden oppor- tunity to indorse somebody and to fire off a platform. — — — — Ir is announced that the State Depart- ment is using au cipher in conducting its correspondence in the Cutting case. A cipher is the proper thing to represent the result of the correspondence up to date. Pe = 1 — ee ae MR. CLEVELAND has been very fortunate in getting the indorsement of Democratic conventions. He should return the com- pliment by promulgating some kind of indorsement of the national Democracy. — 2 — —— Tux contempt manifested by Mexico for BAYARD’s demand for the instant release of CuTTING is paralleled in history only by the contempt shown by the Surveyor of the Port of St. Louis for the President’s circular against federal officeholders in politics. Tux financial embarrassments which have overtaken Literary Life have pro- duced some auxious inquiries about the alleged literary atmosphere of Chicago. That ambitious periodical should remind its readers at the outset that literary mat- ters have nothing to do with litters of pigs. LORD SALISBURY is old enough to know that a vague and undefined Irish policy operates more effectiveiy at the festal board than in Ireland. His speech at the Lord Mayor’s dinner is made up of harm- less generalities which everyone can com- mend and which may be interpreted to suit the most contradictory political views. THE Two Republics comes all the way from the city of Nexico to remind us ot the fact that, While Judge Lynch fre- ‘‘quently takes the place of the legally **instituted courts” in the United States, ein Mexico the courts and the officers of „the law are vested with extraordinary powers which make the practice of lynch justice quite superfluous.““ So it seems, especially when an American citizen is to be the victim. But to the victims, irre- spective of nationality, it would seem to make very little difference whether they are lynched by legally authorized lynch- ers with ‘‘extraordinary powers,” or by lawless ruffians who cannot imprison any man and are liable to be hung themselves if they hang the wrong man. The lawless power of arbitrary authority is a very bad form of lawlessness. ————— —-— — Hon. J. W. FosrEn, our former Minis- ter to Mexico, cites a case where a Mexican who had committed a erime in Texas was tried and punished in Mexico with the consent of our Government. Of course it isno concern of ours how Mexico treats her own citizens within her own jurisdic- tion, provided she does not attempt to extend the jurisdiction of her courts or laws over the acts of our citizens in our own country. Buteven if a Republican Administration had permitted her to do that, the case would not be a precedent for a Democratic Administration. A na- tive citizen of St. Louis was forced to serve as a German subject in the German army, with the connivance and consent of a Republican Administration, but surely nobody expects Democrats to honor that precedent. EE _—————— THIS see-saw of police authority be- tween the Mayor andthe majority of the Police Board may be fun for the partici- pants, butit isdeath to the morale and efficiency of the police force. First the Mayor’send is up and work is begun under his orders. Before the week passes, the Mayor’s end is down and the Board’s end is up, and the work begun under the Mayor’s assignment of duty is undone by the transfer of the Sergeant in charge to another district and other duty. And when a reason for this trifling with the public service and public welfare is sought, the only answer we gat is the charge from each end of the see- saw that the other end is tryingsto use the police force in politics. As the public is not prepared,to acquit either end of this charge, the mutual recrimination only produces a feeling of general disgust and the exclamation: ‘‘A plague o' both your houses!’’ The sole de- fensible plea for a metropolitan police } holding him. are fighting against each other over the political use to be made of the police, it looks as if the force were not only pretty deeply immersed in politics but being used forthe manipulation of the Demo- cratic nominations especially. — — — — WANTS TO KNOW. A Washington special to papers by no means unfriendly to Mr. BAYARD says: One thing Mr. BAYARD is now giving special attention toisthe determination of the exact offence CUTTING was tried for. Under the Mexican system of adjudication the records of the court aresccret. Oonsul Brigham had to take the statement of the official interpreter. He was not allowed to see the actual record. It may be that these records will show that CUTTING was really tried at last on the charge of circulatinga libelous article in Mexico. Knowledge of what the court records contain is absolutely indispensabie in the further con- duct of the case by the United States. Just how the documents can be obtained the State Department does not yet know, but they must be had, and Secretary Bayard expects to have them. Ille will take no denial from anybody. He does not presume to criticise a system which denies ac- cess to the records of judicial proceed- ings, but he insists that the exact terms of the charge or charges upon which CUTTING was tried shall be given tothe United States. If, after they are received, this Government finds it necessary to change its course of pro- cedure, the change will be made; but until then the Secretary expects to proceed in the negotiations with Mexicoin the same line as at present. This is dated August 11. It was on the 19th of July that Mr. BAYARD made a per- emptory demand for CUTTING’S release without having demanded from the Mexi- can Government a statement of the grounds on which a Mexican court was Section 2001 of the United States Statutes reads thus: W hen ever it is made known tothe President that any citizen of the United States has been unjustly deprived of his liberty by or under the authority ofany foreign government, it shall be the duty of the President forthwith to demand of that governmentthe reasons of such imprisonment, and if it appears to be wrongful and in violation of the rights of American citizenship the President shall forth- with demand the release of such citizen. If Mr. Bayarp had ever during his long service asa Senator and member of the Senate Committee on Foreign Affairs dis- covered the existence of this law, he would not now be crawling back behind his peremptory demand to ask of the Mex- ican Government what he should have de- manded in the first place. -He might thus have avoided any humiliating necessity of changing his course of procedure.“ AN ADROIT GAME, The interview with Gen. DaN WL E. SICKLES published in our telegraphic col- umns to-day presents a very plausible theory of our complications with Mexico, The United States conquered Mexico once aud paid her for the territory acquired, and shrewd Mexicans are satisfied that this country would make a similar pur- chase of territory after another successful war. There is no record to show that the $15,000,000 once paid to Mexico by the U nited States ever reached the Mexican Treasury; and there is no cogent reason for believing that a future payment made under ‘similar circumstances would ever reach its ostensible destination. Official plunderers would intercept it, as has been done before. Gen. SICKLEes thinks that President Diaz would like to precipitate a war in which he knows that his country would be beaten, in order that he might dispose of 4 large slice of Mexican terri- tory tothe United States fora large sum of money; which sum, while in transitu towards the Mexican Treasury, would of- fer a golden harvest to the cupidity of the highest Mexican officials. We do not say that such a programme has flitted through the mind of the Mexican President; but if the United States should wage another successful war with the ‘‘sister republic, it is possible that the European plan would be adopted and conquered territory ap- propriated as a war indemnity, without the payment of money by the conquerors. e 2 THE Kansas City Star is authority for the statement that the Democratic mana- gers will embrace the opportunity af- forded by the State Convention to indorse the Administration and celebrate the re- stored ascendency of the national De- mocracy. This programme may not be carried out as smoothly as is anticipated. The large element of dissatisfied Demo- crats may interfere with a sincere and effusive overflow of indorsement aud con- gratulation. Mr. CLEVELAND ’s circular to office-holders, if generally obeyed, would eliminate from political con- ventions the men who have the best reason for being satisfied and who would like to throw up their hats for the Administration. But in St. Louis, at least, the President’s instructions are treated with contempt, and the State Con- vention will be gorgeously ornamented with Federal appointees. The Surveyor of the Port defiantly clings to his place on the Democratic State Committee, and there is every reason to believe that he will be found in the State Convention working his old tricks as industriously as ever. , a —, THE morning papers seem to have awak- ened for a moment from their slumbers and to have discovered that important changes are impending in the base ball world, and that there is really some pros- pect.of the disbandment of thé Maroons and a possibility of negotiations pending between Mr. Vox DER AHE and the man- agers of the League looking to the transfer of the Browns from the Association to the former organization. The Post-DispaTcH as usual gave the first information to the public of the overtures made to Mr. Von DER AHE and of the efforts of Mr. Lucas board is that it is the-only thing to keep ; Paks the police force out of politics, but when step taken by the base ball magnates has the members of a Democratic police board | been made public in its columns. To- day another interesting chapter is added tothe negotiations, and the Post-Dis- PATCH will continue in base ball as in other matters to keep the reading public thoroughly informed. Fan — 6 FF n. ANOTHER warning to Federal office- holders in Missouri is published in the form of an official letter in which Attor- ney-General GaRLaND, by command of the President, informs the President pro tem. of the Senate that the removal of J. B. HILL, Marshal of the Eastern Dis- trict of North Carolina, was made ‘‘for „the sole reason that he left his home while he was Marshal in 1884, and went „to the Republican Convention of the First District.“ succeeded in having himself appointed by said Convention as a delegate ‘‘and participated in the pro- ceedings of the same.’’ If the President is determined to protect Republicans from the offensive participation of Federal officeholders in their conventions, surely he will not deny the same protection to Democrats. The removal of HEDDEN looks like an assurance that he will not, and Federal officeholders preparing to figure as delegates and members of cam- paign committees are certainly risking their official scalps. — — — MEXICO is learning that degeneracy is the price of hybridity. —_ THE anarchists find that dynamite meets its match in the ready informer.

Whittier on the Sage of Graystone. Boston, August 12.—The following poem appeared in last night’s Transcript: „ . . Graystone, August 4, 1886.

Mr. Stilson Hutchins, formerly of St. Louis, now editor of the Washington Post, says in his paper that the President misied him and misinformed him on the subject of the New York Collectorship. He seems to grieve a good dealoverthe matter, but explains his position to the satisfaction of candid people. He adds that he is determined the Post sball maintain toward its readers an attitude of ‘‘strict sincerity, far removed from trickery.’’ This assurance on the part of Mr. Hutchins is quite unnecessary. ‘‘Strict sincerity, far re- moyed from trickery,’’ has been the polestar of Mr. Hutchins’ career for many years. In devotion to this idea he has made many gacri- fices, and the only fear of his admiriug friends la that he may carry it too far—that it may ‘‘strike in,’’ as the doctors say, and that some day tnere may be a sudden death among the great editors ef the land, andthat the Coroner’s verdict may be, ‘‘Died from strict sincerity, far removed from trickery.’’ Two Significant Declarations, From the Chicago Herald. In two Congressional districts in which Democratic conventions have already been held, one in Ohio and the other in North Caro- lina, the question of civil service reform has been paramount. Im the Ohio district Mr. Seney, a member who introduced a bill for the repeal of the civil service law, was renomi- nated by acclamation on a platform which did not go to the length of denouncing the law on phatically that a Democratic administration should be carried on by Democrats. In the North Carolina district, that in which the city of Raleigh is situated, Gen. Cox, who has con- stituted himself a radical advocate of com- petitive examinations forall appointive posi- tions, from highest to lowest, and who has gone even to greater lengths than Mr. Cleve- land in his defense of the doctrine of non- partisanship in office, has been defeated for renomination by a new and untried man, who to dispose of his club and franchise.

Now, there is a place for each article of this sort, be it book, or half-worn garment, or out-of-date periodi- cal. Besides the valuable service all reading matter will do at our hospitals, there are the asylums forthe destitute, where clothing of all kinds can be utilized, and most of us are poor, indeed, in objects of human sympathy and interest if we do not know of individual needs that these accumulations could meet, Before the season opens again let us see to it that we have anew order of house cleaning, and appropriate every superfluous article to the place where it can do the most good. — — THE METROPOLITAN PRESS. What the Editors of the New York Journals Are Saying This Morning. By Telegraph to the Post-DIsPpaTcaH. NEW YORK, August 12:—The WORLD says: It is now oflicially stated thatthe Treasury Department, during the present week, will is- sue a call for $10,000,000 of the 3-per-cents, and that this will be followed by further cails, which, both in dates and amounts, will be in substantial harmony with the Morrison resolution. The department starts with a $10,000,000 minimum, but engages to increase it if such a policy is warranted by the re- ceipts. This confers rather an elastic judg- menton Mr. Conrad Jordan, the Treasurer, but the policy has been directed by the peo- ple’s representatives andis in line with the President's inaugural pledge.

Mr. Debansande, will ask to be awarded the custody of Miss Cameron’s only child. The Lord Lonsdale referred to in the above dispatch is described in the New York WORLD special cable as follows: Our right trusty and right well-loved cousin the Right Honor- able Hugh Cecil, Earl of Lonsdale, Viscount Lowther, Baron Lowther of Whitebaven and a Baronet,’’ as he is styled in all official documents, presented himself on Saturday at the Olerk’s table of the House of Lords to resume his seat among the hereditary legislators of Great Britain. Notwithstanding the fact that when he was sentenced a few days ago at Newcastle to a fine, with the alternative of fourteen days’ imprisonment, Violet Cameron described him in court as the traveling treasurer of her the- atrical troupe, he is nevertheless patron of over forty-two church livings, and thus in- trusted with the spiritual welfare of u large number of his fellow- countrymen. Although only 29 years old, he bids fair to rival the unenviable rep- , utation of his elder brother and predecessor. His encounter with Violet Cameron’s busband isbut one of the numerous scandals with which he has been connected, and his name is only saved from downright execration by his rowess in the prize-ring and his love of 1orseflesh. Besides having an admirable seat in the saddle, he is an excellent whip and the four-in-hand team of his well-appointed coach is absolutely unapproachable. Apart from these two redeeming points there is but little to recommend him to the favora- ble consideration of the public. The vastsums of money which he aevotes to the welfare of the theatrical profession are notspentina particularly recommendable manner, and he shows a decided preference of leg and bur- lesque pieces to the rest of the drama. Un- like Lord Londesborough, whose interest in theatrical matters is ofu more legitimate na- ture, Lord Lonsdale’s is of a kind to bring discredit on the mem- bers of the company, the treasurer and capitalist of which he may be for the time being.

EDMUND Yates impeachment, „ “OUR LADY OF MARTYRs.” The Second Religious Pilgrimage to the Shrine at Auriesville, N. ¥ By Telegraph to the Posr-Disrarcu. NEW YORK, August 12.—The second religions pilgrimage ever conducted in the U niteg States jwill be made on August 15 to t! shrine of Our Lady of Martyrs” at Auriesville, N. Y. The firse pilgrimage that occurred in tun country was during August, 1888, when t same shrine was visited by fully 2,000 devot Catholics. The religious enterprise was jy. augurated by the Rev. Francis Casey, a Jesu; stationed in Troy, a man of = grey powers of organization, who, Liled with a religious zeal, undertook tw gather a large number of pious Catholics. men and women, and starton a pilerimags to the above shrine. His labors were met wit) overwhelming success. The undertakiug vag 80 successtul that when it Was proposed, some time ago, to make another pilgrimage, Father Casey and his associates, Fathers Dewey and Loyzance, r. ceived immediate approbation, and interest in the affair became universal. It is be. lieved that nearly 5,000 persons wil make the pilgrimage. Those who wil participate will assemble at Troy on the 15th day of August. After hearing mass the whole party, headed by Fathers Casey, Dewey and Loyzance, will start for the shrine of Our Lady of Martyrs, twenty-seven tiles distant. Then they reach the = shrine prayers will be recited and other religious exercises performed. Three davs will bespent atthe shrineand the pileriins will then return to their homes. Before tiv pilgrimage is concluded A FAST OF FIFTEEN HOURS’ duration will be imposed on those taking part in it, after which tis sacrament will be administere. The shrine of Our Lady of Martyrs is ac en erected on the spot where the great Indian Missionary, Father Isaac Jaques, & tienber of the 8 of Jesus, Was massacred by the Mohawk Indians while preaching to them jn the year 1646. The shrine is in the townof Auriesville, thirty-four miles from Albany on the main line of the New York, West shore & Buffalo Railroad. It was constructed some time ago by the members of the Jesuit order, and is accredited with many marvelous cures and occurrences. Father Jaques was born in France in 107, and became a member of the Society of Jesus at the age of 18. Soon after his admission to the order France was striving to guin abso lute dominion over the Canadas and was at continual warfare with the indians. Filled with religious zeal Father Jaques vo! unteered to journey to Canada and preach the gospel to the savages. He remained soins time in Canada and went back to France, where he was ordained a priest. After his ordination he started again for America. He spent a long time —— among the Iroquois. Hurons anid Mohawks, teaching them the gospel. While on a visit to the Mohawks, who were at war with their neighbors, Father Jaques was murdered with several com- panions, in October, 1646, by that tribe near Auriesville on the spot where the shrine now stands. After his death marvellous cures were affected othe spot where he was killed These facts and others were presented before the Third Plena Council of Baltimore in December, 1 and resulted in a conciliar petition to the Holy Father, Leo XIII.. who caused the beat- ification ot Father Jaques and the companions who suffered death with him. The shrine was then founded anda church was built with the name of Our Lady of Martyrs. Religious p. rimages inthe United States are very rare. n Canada pilgrimages are made yearly to the shrine of St. Anne Beaupre, near Montreal. In the Catholic countries, where there are shrines, pilgrimages are regularly made. The ilgrimage to the shrine of Our Lady of lartyrs at Auriesville promises to be a crand affair. Pilgrims from all over the country are expected to participate in the ceremonies and it is likely that religious pilgrimages to this shrine will be repeated every year. DOWN ON CURB TRADING. change Directory’s Alleged Tyranny. The grain scalpers, some of the brokers and A few commission men are holding a series of indignation meetings over the lossof their curb meeting place. When the afternoon board of the Exchange was adjourned for the months of July and August, notice was given by the Exchange Directory that all trading should cease after I o’clock, andthat any one found trading out of hours should be sever \y disciplined under the rules governing what is known as irregular trading. The members, however, were allowed to meet in the south arcade of the Exchange, where they sold puts and calls and occasionally they sold arne or 80 under the rose. Bat the boys raised such merry Hades with their whoopings and skylarkings thatthe Exchange officials yesterday ordered the doors opening into the arcade closed and locked, and when the speculative Peris came to their usual meeting piace they found themselves barred out. Then they adjourned to the fort of the Exchange stairs, but found that too hot, and from there they went down int the Chestnut street basement. Parties renting on the base- ment floor have entered a compiaint against the traders assembling there, claiming they are a veritable nuisance, and they will proba bly be driven from this, their latest stand. To add to their misery, Mayor Francs s notified the policeman on the Third strevt bes! to disperse any assemblage on the Third «treet of the Exchange, on the groun' sidewalk is blockaded, Thus. the traders have no place now in which to bold their curb.

Why a few years avo, wien the afterroon board was first adjourned, be was the hardest kicker against it and said, Boys, come in my office and trade, and we heids regular call there.’’ To more fully express their sense of the injustice they claim is done them, the following petition was drawn up: We, the undersigne — respectfully petition your honorable ody to have ice water discontinued and to have removed the fountain, blotters, aud ink from the hallof the Exchange, and 40 close the water ciosets and windows and any: thing else that may contribute to the comfort ot the members. This was signed by Oswald Graves, Kd Samuel, Joe Davidson J Con- ner, J. A. Warren, F. D. Woodlock, H. Rasin, W. T. Anderson, P. P. Ferguson, Joe Line bar ar. To this petition was afterwards added the following: We amend the above by request ing that the hose be turned on the gang when they meet. Signed: Alex H. Smitn, Wm. Grassmuck. It is understood that a deter- mined effort will be made by the Exchange Officials to stop curb trading. TRAVELING PASSENGER AGENTS. Convention of the International Association at Lake Minnetonka.

LUCAS OFFERS WIMAN HIS CLUB AND FRAN- CHISE FOR $22,000. Howthe Managers Made a Mouthpiece of Mike Scanlon—Base Ball News and Gos- sip—The Nantasket Beat Race—Beach’s New Shell—The Wheel—Cycle Chat. The Washington dispatch in reference to the base ball situation published in the Post-DIs- PATCH of last Tuesday seems to have hit the nail on the head so far as the ‘‘big guns of the League using the Washington management as a mouthpiece is concerned. The rumored deal ot Lucas with that management offering to sell his players for $8,000 must have been very nearly consummated, for on that day, Tuesday, Manager Von der Ahe received a telegram from Mike Scanlon, then at Wash- ington, asking whether the St. Louis Browns would enter the League in case the League would demand no bonus. Mr. Von der Ahe, 80 he says, repled ‘‘no’’ to the message. The evidently hasty manner in which the question was asked was proof that, had Mr. Von der Abe replied yes, Mr. Lucas would have been bought out. This shows conclusively that the rumored deal with Pittsburg bad not been adjusted at that time and that the League could not fill the vacancy caused by the with- drawal of St. Louis. While Mr. Lucas was dickering with Wash- ington he had other schemes on foot by which he hoped to sell out at a better advantage than the trade with Washington would give, and on Sunday night he communicated with Manager Schmelz, who was then at Washington. He told Schmelz that he had received a _ let- ter from Erastus Wiman, the Metropolitan millionaire, asking him upon what terms the Lucas team and the League franchise at St. Louis couid be purchased. With this in mind, he instructed Schmelz to goon to New York immediately and offer Mr. Wiman the franchise and all the players under contract for the sum of $22,000 to be paid in cash. Should Mr. Wiman agree to the proposition Schm elz was to make the sale on the spot with the stipulation taat Wiman was to take the franchise on the risk of the deal being refused acceptance by the League managers. Schmelz followed Lucas’ orders and left for New York on Monday evening. A private message failed to reach him at Washington on Tuesday. These transactions on Mr. Lucas’ part were made, of course, without the knowl- of the other ague managers and edge explain fully the refusal | ge oS Lucas on Saturday to entertain a proposition sent by telegraph from Spalding of Chicago who wired him askine at what price he would 8 of Glasscock, Denny and Meyers. Mr. Lucas, through his manager, is now endeavoring to seil his club and franchise tothe best advantage, and will, no doubt, hold on in playing form until some such arrangement can be perfected. The fact that Scanlan had telegraphed to Von der Ahe asking him whether he would join the League was told directly to a Post-DISPATCH reporter at Sportsman’s Park yester- day, and was overheaid by the representatives of the morning papers. As it was the first bitof news open tothe morning papers since the season began, they picked it up eagerly and made the most of it. When on Friday, July 9, the Post-DISPaTCH published the fact that Mike Scanlon had made overtures to Von der Ahe, the idea that the League Directors would deputize such an in- significant individual to carry so important a message was ‘‘pooh-poohed,’’ but the fact that they did so Tuesday last was swallowed whole without a word. This is the base ball situation at present and other deveiopments are looked forevery hour. When they will come and in what shape even — base ball managers themselves do not now. 8 A Pretty Bunch. The recent victories of the New York team over the Chicagos, making three straight games won, have increased their percentage perceptibly and the ‘‘Giants’’ now stand closely to the two leaders. The three, Chicago, Detroitand New York, make a pretty bunch, with only 2 per cent difference in theiraverages. This tableashows exactly how they stand: Clubs Played. Won. Lost.

Dunlap must bea Jonah sure enough, for since he joined the Detroits that club has lost three consecutive games to New York. These accumulated victories place the ‘‘Giants’’ dangerously near the pennant. They were defeated by the New York team yesterday ina close and exciting game at the Polo Grounds in the presence of 7,000 people. Welch and Baldwin were the pitchers and both pitched a splendid game. The final score was: New York, 3; Detroit, 2. Runs, Hits and Bases. The Baltimores played an erring game yes- terday and scored no less than thirteen blun- ders. Their runs were seven, their hits ten and their total bases eleven. The Browns played a good but nota brilliant game, as it was play, veritably, for them to beut the Bal- timores. Theirruns were eighteen, their hits nineteen and their total bases thirty-three.

How a New York Sport Broke His Heart by Betting. By Telegraph to the POST-DISPATOR. New YorK, August 12.—“ Old John,’’ as John Eastman’ ot Cable’s Broadway restau- rant is familiarly known, went to the races the other day, and yesterday W. H. Williams of the Union News Company received a report of ‘‘Old John’s’’ movements on that day. The report was an unique one. It was written on the backs of seven tickets which had been purchased from book-makers at Monmouth Park. The first ticket showed on its face that the old sport had wagered $5 against $250n the first race. On the back the following was written: ‘‘Dear Billy: They say there are sermons in stones. I would liketo hit you onthe head witha small sermon just now. Instead, I will inclose these cards and hope you will draw a useful lesson therefrom.’’ The second ticket showed that the veteran turfite had risked $5 against $25 on the second race. On the back of this ticket the following words were inscribed: ‘‘A particu- lar friend gives you this tip: Engeman com- ing down on the track bought all the pools on this horse. So Johnson gold him, and your friend saw him bet $100 straight and $100 for a place a minute ago. These Brighton Beachers wouldn’t go on unless they knew the result— the horse was distanced.’ The face of the next ticket showed that Old Jonn’’ wagered $10 against $60 on the third race. The other side of the ticket gave the following account: ‘‘This tip was straight fromthe stable. The coon who blacks the jockeys’ boots gave it to me. The stable was playing it. ‘Please put on $2 for me, massa; do it, tor God's sake. It is dead sure.’ Re- sult: Of course he would have won if he hadn’t got into a pocket. The next tip showed that the veteran became excited. He bet $60 against $800, and the back of the ticket tells the story of the tip. Major, it’s like finding it. Isuw Dwyer’s old trainer at the Hoffman House last night. He is play- ing he knows. ‘She will walk away with them, and besides Donohue is riding her.’ Result— the —— never could ride. The old timer went slow on the next race. He wagered $5 against $20, and the record on the back of the ticket was: This tip was from aman who was just from the paddock and who has seen the owner ofthe horse: ‘The horse is in good condition and will try to win. Anyhow, you will geta race for your money, and that is what you want.’ Result—she ain't worth a ——in the mud.“ : „01d John’’ tried the next race with 55 against $12 and wrote of it: This 1 played on my own judgment.

It was written on the back ofa ticket which had cost 55 and was as follows: If you have any idea of betting ona horse race—don't. Play it in for rum. This is one of John’s, Old John's, tips. How can you beat it? [Signed] JOHN.”’ At a banquet yesterday afternoon in Cable's Restaurant Old John’’ officially announced he had ‘‘sworn off on horse racing. He had lost money onevery race. DUFFY’S DILATIONS. Ben Ali is Slow and Tremont is the Best He Ever Saw. Patsey Duffy, the noted California jockey, who has until recently been the first jockey of the Haggin stable, passed through Chicago Tuesday. Ile is on his way to California and does not expect to ride any more this season. Ile saw the race between Volante and Ben Ali, for the Champion Stakes, at Long Branch. In conversation with a Tribune reporter he said: It was a poor race. Ben Ali was not good. Whenever he is good noneof the old horses can carry 118 pounds to his 105. He can carry weight as well as any of them and can run on any kind of a track. I thought he had a sure thing on the race when ths track got muddy. He won. all of his races in California this spring in the mud, and I thought he was the best mud horse I ever saw. thought he was all right, but when I think of the way he won inthe mud in California and the way he ran with 123 pounds up at St. Louis, and then look at the way he rau last Saturday I know he could not have been right. »The fellow that is right, though, is that fellow Tremont. He is the greatest colt I ever saw. Wherever he runs an eighth of a mile the race is over He finishesin what appears to be a big gallop, but there is speed in it and he is running fast, although he don't look it, and comes along pricking his ears up as if he was not doing anything. Hecan beat all the 2-yeur-olds with ease, and can carry 110 pounds and beat every 38-year-old or aged horse in the country with the same weight up, any distance up toamile. He is the best look- ing colt Jever saw—a great, stout fellow about fifteentwo. AS a3-year-old he will probably be sixteen hands. Some people say the bwy- ers are lucky, but I think they are smart men. They are good judges of horses, are continu- ally looking out for good ones, and pay liber- aliy to get them, and after they get them they manage them better than almost anybody else. They will keep on being just as lucky as they have been.’’ Running Races. At Chicago—First race, three-quarters mile, Luna Brown won in 1:154%. Second race, one mile, Hopedale winner in 1:42%.

Ten thousand spectators were present at Nantasket Beach Monday morning to see the single-scull race between Hanlan, Ten Eyck, Hosmer and McKay. The course of the race was one and one-half miles with a turn, and Was for a purse of $1,100, Hanlan was hot favorite. The race is described as follows: The men were sent off at about 6:30. Han- lan took the water first, and before the others had gotten under way he was nearly half a length in advance. In a few moments he was giving the other men the wash from his boat. Ten Eyck quickly followed, and it looked as though he would give Hanian a hard rub. McKay and Hosmer were about even, and both were rowing in good form. Before the first mile had been rowed Hanlan was two boat-lengths ahead, rowing his old- time stroke of 29. Ten Eyck was rowing 34, and Hosmer and McKay were rowing 35. Al- though his stroke was slower, Hanian’s boat was forced along faster than the others. At the mile Hanlan led by three lergths, and was rowing a ꝛ8 stroke. Hosmer had worked into second place, and was gaining inch by inch on Hanlan, and nearly overtook him. Here he caught a ‘‘crab’’ and fell behind. McKay spurted into Hosmer's place. To the mile and ahalfthe race between Ten Eyck and McKay was a warm one, but the lat- ter reacbed there first, Hanlan turning far ahead of all his competitors, Hosmer turned about five lengths in the rear of the others. On the homestretch Ten Eyck spurted several times and endeavored to secure second place, but although he gained steadily he could not overtake McKay. Hanlan maintained a good lead to the finish. The time was: Hanlan, 21 min. 55 sec.; McKay, 22 min. 5 sec. ; 83 22 min. 6 seo. Hosmer's time was not en. Beach’s Boat. The London Sportsman of recent date says: Champion Beach has taken to his new craft recently constructed by Mr. J. H. Clas- per.. She was launched at Putney, when Beach christened her Arnold after his son and heir. Onsprinkling her stem with the usual lowing dimensions: sparkling wine, the champion wished himself joily good luck in comical fashion, and said that if she did not carry him to victory it would not be his fault so far as trying went. She is a charming craft to look at, of she fol- : PEARLS, RUBIES, OPALS, SAPPHIRES. breadth of beam, 10% in.; height forward, 3 in.; aft, 2½ in.; depth amidships, 556 in., and fitted with 26-inch sliding seat, Olasper's patent counterval washboard and ali the most recent improvements, the seat as usual being fixed level with the top of tke sax- boards. Beach informed our representative that he liked the new craft immensely; in fact, he went so far as to say that he thought her the best boat he had ever sat in. -— —_— ANNUAL L. A. W. MEET. Louis Presents Her Invitation—Good Prospects of Securing It. A very important action was taken at the meeting of the Missouri Division’s officers of the L. A. W., Tuefday evening. It was then unanimously resolved to invite the League of American Wheelmen to hold their annual St. national meet in St. Louis next spring. As the national board of officers’ will meet early in September and it was thought bestto get the invitation be- fore them in season, the formal invitation Will be sent in this evening by Secretary- Treasure Lewis. This meet annually brings together hundreds of wheelmen, whohold a three duys’ convention, diversified by races, hill-climbing contests and other cycling fimusements. It is not doubted that St. Louis will get the meet, since her hospitality is 80 Well known to the American cyclists as to make that as strong a reason for the meet coming West as the fact that the East has had it several suc- cessive years. Notes. John S. Prince from Minneapolis has issued a challenge to Fred Merrill, the Pacific Coast champion, to race ten miles,the Californian to get a quarter mile start. _President Ducker of the A. C. U. wants the N. C. A. to join with him in forming an inter- national racing association. The annual meeting of the L. A. W. board of officers will be held at Buffalo, September 3. A. A. Hart, who won so much glory at Chi- cago July 5, expects to take in the Cleveland three days’ race meet the latter part of this month. He is rapidly shaking off the effects of his recent malarial attack. The Eurota Club is solid forthe parade, and will turn out nearly every member. If other wheelmen were all as patriotic as the Eurotas are it would be a grand thing for cycling.

Charles Moth, the Greco-Roman wrestler, has returned to Minneapolis. He went to Kansas City where he again defeated Tom Cannon, and then went to San Francisco. Un- fortunately. in his first maten there, witha prominent wrestier named Gibbs, he imine- diately threw the latter so hard that he lay on the floor nearly fitteen minutes. After that, no cone would meet the Ger- man giant. Moth afterwards agreed to throw Mathews, the champion of the Pacific coast, five times in an hour, but could not getonamatch. Moth is ready to face any and all comers. Being particularly desirous ot meeting Muldoon, oth states that he will wrestie him in private for 351.000 aside. This contest, it has always been said, would draw a good audience, and there is plenty of money ior Muldoon to win if he can floor the man from Germany. Moth would also like to meet Duncan C. Ross in a mounted sword combatas he has attained great pro- N with the sword while on the Pacific oast. Pursuing a Wife Poisoner. By Telegraph to the Posr-Dis raren.

Charles Cross, aged 29 years and single, who lives on Buchanan street in St. Louis, but is employed as a switchman in the Indianapolis & St. Louis yards on this side, met with an ac- cident this morning which will cost bim the loss of his left arm. He was heiping to make up atrain about 8:30 o’clock, and in running along the trestle over Cahokia Creek near Broadway he missed his step and fell in between the ties. In order to save himself from falling inthe creek below he grabbed hold of the track with his left hand and caught hold of a projection with his right. As he did so the wheel of one of the cars passed over his left arm a little above the wrist and erushed it terribly. Tne train was stopped at once and the unfortunate switchman released from his perilous position and conveyed to the Relay reading-rooms, where a physician examined his injury and said that amputation would de necessary. Wm. Hennessy was arrested this morning on a warrant charging him with attempting to commit a criminal assault on Mrs. Edward Hembroch of St. Louis. The alleged attempt was made yesterday near the black bridge while Mrs. Hembroch was preparing a meal for her husband und several gentlemen who were fishing in Cahokia Creek some distance away from where the meal was in preparation. Mrs. Hembroch had just made a big bowlof soup when Hen- nessy and several other young fellows came up. Mrs. Hembroch claims that he attempted an assauiton her,but Hennessy stoutly denies the charge, but admits that he and hiscompanions stole the bowl of soup. He was taken before Justice Bunyan this morning and his prelim- inary hearing set for saturday. He was then admitted to bail in the sum of 5200. Henry Vaughn swore out a warrant before Squire Shea last evening charging Jas. Gentry with attempting to use a knife on him, Both parties are colored.

The testimony was to the effect that some negro told Gentry that Vaughn was looking for him with a revolver, and when they met last even- ing Gentry drew outa seven-inch-blade knife and held itina position where it would meet Vauchn’s vision. As Vaughn did not draw a revoiver, however, Gentry made no attempt to probe him.

MATTERS IN COURT. Suits and Proceedings in the Administration of Justice. The order of sale made in the voluntary assignment of Ignatz Fuchs was this morning 2 over to August 16 that bids might be aken. Orders of publication were made this morning inthe divorce suits of Ada Hogan against Henry Hogan in which desertion is alleged, and J. C. Burgy vs. Mary E. Burgy the defendants being non-resident. Judge Adams of counsel for the receiver in the Provident Bank matter this inorning asked an order of publication on James 8. Garland, a detendant tothe suit under which the re- ceiver was appointed, onthe ground that he has absented himself from his usual place of abode and business so that the ordinary process of law cannot be served upon him. A suit was filed—one of an endless series—in the United States Circuit Court, Thos. T. Woodruff vs. Lewis County, on coupons de- tached from bonds maturing July 1, amount- ing to $1,205. ‘The bonds were issued in aid of a railroad, but have been repudiated by the county. Every accretion of interest is sued tor and judgment recovered, so that finally the interest is paid. James E. Kaime & Co., assignees of special tax bills issued to August Heman and Gottlieb Eyermann, contractors for the improvement ot Grand avenue between Lafayette and Shaw avenues with Telford pavement and layin sidewalks, have sued the rector, wardens an vestrymen of Mount Caivary Church to re- cover $445.31 for such improvements in front of a lot owned by the church south of the Or- phans’ Home on Grand avenue.

TERY COVERS A TERRIBLE CRIM. | | The Remains an Clothing Almost Positively Identified as Those of August Entz— Light Thrown Upon a Mysterious Disappearance, in December Last—Circumstances Point. ing to Foul Play—The Inquest. This morning Sergt. Keeble of the Mounteg Police presented to Deputy Coroner Hen. nessy a statement of the evidence brought, light in the Easton avenue mystery, The Sergeant who was entrusted with the invest). gation has done very creditable work. Hs is still engaged onthe case, but madea Partial statement of the facts for the guidance of the Coroner. ‘‘Itis undoubtedly a case of ro». bery and murder. The victim is probhapj, August Entz, who mysteriously disappears, a tew days before Christmas. 1885.’’ Entz wy employed by Mr. Fred Deibel of the Anch» Flour and Feed Company, Nos. 2200 and 2, Franklin avenue. Mr. Deibel lives at No.1737 (gp. oline avenue, where Entz was engaged about tig house. He was a great favorite with al! th, family andthe other servants, for whom hg was always willing to perform any little sery. ice they might request. He was also popular with the children and was generally well-liked. A few days beforg Christmas he informed the family that he wan ed to buy some clothes, and make a few purchases for the holiday season. Nearly two months’ wages were due him at that time 444 he was told that he could have the money whenever he wanted it. Entz had saved san, which he always carried with him in a large pocketbook exactly similar to the POCKET-BOOK FOUND IN THE VAULT. He also carried another and smaller purse for change. The small purse foun in the rear of Masesrang’s saloon, No. 3838 Lastog avenue, is believed to be Entz’s property. Entz also wore a leather belt which was of the same size as that foundin the vault. Another coincidence which leaves but little room for doubt as to the identity is the fact that a rule was found in the vat which answers the description of ons which Entz carried. He had two rules one of which he left at the house and tig other he invariably carried with him. fig, often remarked, pleasantly, that it way necessary for a man to have two sets of tii when he worked around where Children wore playing. He made no secret of his having the money about him, but seemed to think every. body us honest as himself. The Clothes found in the vault and the hat are described exactly by the Deibel family, Wio at the time of Entz’s disappearance madd a diligent search for him. A (eseriptiog of the man and his dress was left at the Mounted District Police Station. As far as ig can now be .compared, the description thug iven fits the garments found in the vauit. The shoes taken up by Doepke, the cleaner, and thrown into the river, were seen by some of the neighbors, who described them tothe police. The officers read it to a shoemaker with whom Entz dealt and who said he thought that they were the shoes he sold to the Inissing man. With all these eircumstances the police think the conclusion thatthe dead man was August Entz is fully justified. They have no doubts either about the na- ture of the case. Everything points to rob. bery and murder. The pockets have been cut trom the vest and the pants. The fact that the bones were not found Inthe clothing puzzled the police, who were inclined to believe that the body was not in the clothes when it fellinto the vault. This supported THE THEORY OF MURDER which is borne out by the fact that the pockets were cut out. To-day Morgue-keeper Kyan discovered another important point, vz.: That the pants’ seams were ripped up the side for a distance of several inches from the bottom. ‘This causes the police to believe that the man was murdered and that the clothes were torn from the body. Whatever suspicions they may have concerning the crime they do not express them. On last Sunday, when Masserang was first notified by the police—three days alter the first publication in the POST-DISPATCH of te ghastly discovery—he attempted to explaia the matter away as only a practical joke. When Doepke, the vault cleaner, who myste- riously desisted before the completion of tue work, was questioned he, singulariy enour, offered the same explanation as Masserang. He said that he had lightly remarked on find- ing the shoes and clothes that he badtis clothes and now he wanted the man, which gave rise to the stories. The subsequent developments did not bear out the practical joke view of the affair. The police do not pretend to have any evidence to sbow that anybody had a knowledge of the presence of the body in the vault. The neighbors state that they had repeatedly complained of the nuisance, and suggested that the vault be cleaned out. Instead of this, lime was re peatedly thrown into the vault to abate the nuisanee. The Masserangs explain that this was merely an economical means employed to quiet the complaints of the tenants. To-day the clothes were again submitted to a washing. As soon as they are presentable they will be exhibited to those who knew Fntz for identification. Coroner Nidelet has not yet begun the inquest, though the police state that it would have been of material assistance had he taken some of the statements of witnesses under oath. The inquest will probably be begun on Saturday. HOXIE’S HEALTH, A Correspondent Describes How the Railway Manager Appears at Saratoga. The following is a special dispatch from Sar- atoga to tne Cincinnati Enquirer: Manager Hoxie of the Texas Pacific Railroad Company is here from St. Louis with his wife and niece. The women are stylish and hand- some. Mr. Hoxie looks like a broken- down, consumptive country merchant, He is stoop-shouldered and . hollow chested, and his head hangs forward in weary manner ofaman who has been over taxed too long a time to be able to recuperate. His face is thin and his nose, which is siightly Roman, gives a pinched appearance to 1 face. He is quite gray, siightly baid, with pray chin whiskers, and gray eyes tbat ndicate firmness and decision. I had a brief chat with him to-day about the Southwestern labor situation. He insists that the restiess labor element bas been entirely crushed out. He is very hard and bitter im taiking about the strikers, and when he came to talk about the property destroyed by them he declared with great. emphasis that ‘the bayonet is the only adequate remedy for thorough early application in great strikes. He favors the most energetic measures to protect prop erty and to enforce the rights of capital to employ whatever it seesfit. I am told that Mr. Hoxie’s life has repeatedly threat- ened on account of the position he took dur- ing the labor troubles, but I do not think, from the talk I had with him, that he is a maa to be at all alarmed by threats of any kind. TERRIBLE TRIPLE TRAGEDY. A Minister Engages in Deadly Combat With His Daughter’s Suitor. By Telegraph to the Posr-Disraren. CHATTANOOGA, Tefin., August 12.—A terrible tragedy occured at Graysville on the line of the Cincinnati Southern Railway, twenty miles from this city, last night. Rev. F. M. Bandy and John Davis, a prot ment farmer, had a difuculty over the atten tions of Davis to Bandy’s daughter. Ths young lady’s brother attempted to whip avis, and the latter beat him nearly t death, crushing his skull with a stone. At this juncture the minister drew a knife and attacked Davis. Both men fought with knives and each was mortally wounded. Bandy 14 dead and Davis is dying. All the parties are well known. A BIG BLAZE. Destruction of a Big Business Block 8. Metamora, III.

SALISBURY’S SPEECH PRAISED FOR ITS DIGNIFJED AND CONTROLLED TONE. rhe Tory Irish Policy a So-Called Restora- tion of Order—The Collapse of Alderman Cook—All Quiet at Belfast Watching Yankee Fishing Vessels—Foreign News. special Cablegram to the Post-Dispatch, LONDON, August 12.—Salisbury’s speech at the Mansion House last night was universally praised for its dignified and controlled tone. It is regarded by the Liberals 45 further proof that he has absolutely no Irish policy, but has in view merely a so-called res- toration of order. Beyond this, he did not even suggest any idea of English states- manship regarding Ireland. His compliment to Rosebery about his foreign policy has given great satisfaction to all parties. The Times savs Salisbury had no secrets to disclose, and though he spoke briefly, with dignitied re- he could not be expected to Serve, suppress the exultation inspired by the news of the unopposed = return of a dozen of his colleagues seeking re-election. The Standard declares that the dinner was not remarkable for the brilliancy of the speeches delivered by the most distinguished guests, and says it is an open question whether Salis- pury’s estimate of democratic Urm- ness is not too sanguine. In the Daily News’ opinion Salisbury’s speech was worthy in tone and style of the Prime Minister of England, speaking in the city of London, „Salisbury, however, it continues, made only too plain that his medicine for the Irish disorder is A GOOD DOSE OF DRASTIC COERCION, his gospel is brute force and his missionaries policemen and the hangman.’’ The unexpected collapse of Alderman Cook, Matthews’ opponent at Birmingham, creates a good deal of interest. 1 know that the immediate cause of the withdrawal was the fact that the inter- ference of the Radical Union would have sim- ply reproduced the situation of five weeks ago. Cook came forward with the sole pur- pose of reuniting the party.“ When it was clear that this was no longer possible, the Liberal Association had no object to continue the fight. A perfectly informed correspondent writes me as follows: ‘‘The effect on Birmingham of Matthews’ two successes will be most serious. It will cer- tainly end in considerable increase of Toryism here. We have held our own by union and loyalty to each other in our organization. Now these have been thrown to the winds to the GAIN ONLY OF THE TORIES. It is a sad end of all our fifteen years’ work. No one is to be tolerated in Birmingham who refuses obedience to the will of one man. The end must necessarily be that which we see to- day, the extraordinary but certain fact that all Irishmen would have voted for Matthews. Nobody can tell why, unless it is because he is a Roman Catholicand religious sympathies take precedence of political convietious.“ THE FIELD-BENNET CASE, The arguments in the case of appeal of James Gordon from tho awurd against 0 525,000 in favor of Cyrus W. Field for libel, were concluded to-day. Judgment was re- served, and pending its pronouncement exe- cution of the award was stayed. THE CANUCKS, VICTORY.

The night was quiet except a slight amount of firing in the Grosvenor road district, which did not result in harm to anyone. The police have made several searches for arms but without success. The forty wounded persons in the Royal Hospital are making good prog ress towards recovery. A heavy rain is fall- ing, preventing crowds from gathering. The Northern Whig, (Protestant) rebukes the Rev. Dr. Kane for his remarks in relation to the action the Orangemen would take if the police were not disarmed. TROUBLE AT LONDONDERRY. LONDONDERRY, August 12.—The Orange- men were attacked while they were parading on the famous promenade made by the oldtown wall. Here they were openly and savagely stoned bya mob. During the melee the Rev. Thomas Olphert, canon of the Episcopal Cathedral, and several citizens were wounded The excitement is reaching a dangerous height. SALISBURY’S WARLIKE SPEECH. DUBLIN, August 12.—United Ireland says that Lord Salis ary in his speech atthe Lord Mayor's banquet in London last night pro- claimed war a |l’outrance. The burden of his speech is twenty years of manacies forthe Irish. Very good, says United Ireland. Our race is accustomed to resist tyranny. War let it be in the name of God. SEIZED ARMS FORCIBLY. While the police of the towns in the vicinity of Killorglin were engaged in keeping the peace at a fair in that town yesterday, a gang of men scoured the mid-Kerry country for arms. They were suc- cessful in their search and made away witha a large numberof weapons including rifles; the also seized a quantity of ammunition.

The advance of prices proposed is from 5 to 10 per dent, and this in well managed mills will yie!d from 5 to 7 per cent to theshareholders. The advance by the manufacturers will not amount to more than halt a cent a yard to the user, and as each user, On an average, takes seventy yards per annum, it will only amount to 10 cents more — annum for euch individual.

CuIcaGo, August 12.—It was pretty hot out - side this morning, but the sunny side of the street was a refrigerator by comparison with Judge Gary’s court, The Judge had the win- dows opened, and there was a slight current of air; not enough, however, to relieve the perspiring audience of the necessity of waving pulm-leaves, which everybody carried. Mr. Walker began his speech this morning, by charging that Fielden had premonition of danger, that he knew it was coming and told the anarchists to stand together. Then the Speaker said of Fischer: „Was this man in this conspiracy for murder—this man with his revolvera foot long and his file dugger with a groove? What was this groove for? it wasfor prussic acid. Was this man in the conspiracy?’’ Mr. Walker then read a passage from Most’s ‘‘Revolutionary War- fare,’’ telling how prussic acid could be ap- plied to a grooved dagger, making them more deadly, Walker waived a dagger before the eves ofthe jury and pointed out Fischer withit. Then he transferred his attention to Lingg, and asked if he was in the con- spiracy. The speaker dwelt upon the simi- larity between the Haymarket bomb and those found in Lingg’s room. WALKER'S CONCLUDING SENTENCE. Mr. Walker, after reviewing the evidence at great length, said in conclusion: The most cruel thing in this whole case is the violent and unjustifiable attack made on the police by the defense. They at- tempted to prove that Capt. Bonfield and his officers were guilty of a most horri- ble design upon the lives of innocent men, I should have thought that the blood of those seven dead men would have cried out against the uccusation. The men who stood on that fatal night, as firm as a rock, who never trembled, and who exhibited as much sublime courage asthe pages of history ever showed are traduced by Socialists and anarch- ists. Itiseven charged that they fired first. Did they? Ask Barrett and Sheeban aud Mueller and Hansen. Ask all those wounded heroes, Gentlemen, it is for youtodecide. You stand now for the first time between anarchy and law. The foundation stone of the republic shall stand. The police did their duty at the Haymarket; they shed their biood for the law andintheir martyrdom, anarchy was buried forever.’’ Mr. Zeisler then began his speech for the de- ense. Mr. Zeisler said the attorney for the State had distorted the facts in the case, He then began an attack on the police, He inquired: ‘*‘Who are their principal witnesses? The policemen atthe Haymarket, and before we get through we will show that these men were not heroes, but knaves ied on by the most cowardly knaves who ever held a public osition.’’ The speaker said this in aloud One. Court adjourned at lo clock. THE AMERICAN BANKERS. To-Day’s Session ofthe Convention at Bos- ton—Bankruptcy Legislation. Boston, Mass., August 12.—Notwithstanding the extreme heat Horticultural Hall was well filled with delegates when the second day’s session of the annual convention of the Na- tional Association of American Bankers was called to order at 100'clock by President Gage. The Executive Council reported in favor of amending the constitution of the Association to provide for the establishment * of an office of First Vice-President; the selection of one Vice-President from each State and Territory represented; an Executive Council of twenty- one members, none of which officers shall be eligible to serve more than three con- secutive years. This amendment was accepted by the convention, after which the Committee on Nominations reported a full list of officers, all of whom were elected; President, Logan O. Murray of New York. Immediately after the election ofthe officers, President Gage made abrief address and called the new President to the chair. President Murray addressed the convention 3 and then introduced Judge John Lowe BANKRUPTCY LEGISLATION, He read a paper on Bankruptey Legisla- tion.’’ Judge Lowell said he had no doubt that there was a general demand onthe part of business men for a uniform bank raster law. Some of the States, inclu ing Massachussetts, had ex- cellent bankruptcy laws, but these State's laws were absolutely local, and the laws of one State do not cover cases in other States. Even the Massachusetts bankrupt law had pumerous defects, but it answered fairly well for local purposes. Judge Lowell sug: gested a bill which would provide that a galaried supervisor be appointed to super- vise all bankruptcy cases, just as the Insur- ance Commissioner serves. The Commission- ers provided for in the recent bankruptcy law by Congress should be sgal- aried and should have executive funce- tions, together with the supervising officer. It was not reasonableto expect a judge to sit upon bankruptcy cases and examine ex parte into them and not become a partisan one way or the other, This was an executive function and should not and could not be exer- cised justly by a judge. The judge should not be expected to do justice in such cases, unless actually heard by bim. Bankruptcy cases should be supervised by officers paid for so doing. In conclusion, he advocated the bill recently introduced into Con- gress, providing for 11 bankruptcy commission, believing the supervising officer he had suggested should be included in the commission. States might pass similar bankruptcy laws, and thus overcome many ofthe difficulties of the situation, but even that might leave other difficulties and Nation- al legislation would seem a wise and a better course. A FACTIONAL FIGHT, Cases Disposed of To-Day in the Court of Criminal Correction. Thomas Weisman and Belle Ashley were tried in the Oourt of Criminal Corree- tion to-day on a charge of stealing $7.75 from William Grier, and Belle was sent to the Work-house for sixty days and Weisman discharged Max and Mary Mattes were tried on July 23. for an assault on Hugh McCabe. Max was tined $25 and costs and Marx discharged. A new trial was granted Max and to-day at the re-hearing Judge Noonan held him for the Grand-jury in the sum of to answer to a charge of assault to do great bodily harm. He struck McCabe, who ig an old man, witha club. Jacob Schneider was tried for assaulting August Ostermeyer and dischared. Mrs. O'Leary was tried before Judge Noonan to-day on a charge of assault battery preferred against her by Mrs. Ma Muchmore. Judge Noonan fined her $1 and coats, but stayed exe- cution inthecase. This is the old factional fued going on between the tenents of No. 16 South Seventh street. Both factions have been preferring charges against each other in the Police Court every week for a couple of months back, but this is the first time they have had a case taken to the Court of Criminal Correction, New Warrants.

To-day takes the cake. It also takes about all the superfluous flesh on the human bones, melts it down and distributes it over shirt fronts and seersuckers, and even fills shoes with the liquid testimonial of its power. If it had not been for the fairly lively breeze that came up out of the southwest there would be little but animated bones going around the street. But comfort could only be from the wind by getting p shade, for every wave of air that rolled up from the blistering sidewalks and granite blocks seemed like a volcano’s breath or like the heated air from an oven. Last night there was some hope of the heat passing off, Late retirers had scarcely turned out the lights about midnight when the skies became suddenly gray. There wasa roaring all around, the puffs of wind seemed to come from every directionand the trees swayed up and down as some great tornado was about to sweep down upon the sleeping city. Blinds were slammed to with fearful force, and many persons were awakened by the general noise. There was astiff blow for about fifteen minutes and then ail was still again, except for the murmuring of the departing storm. During its pass- age it grew very cool and 30 sudden was the fall in tempera- ture that those who were sleeping with slight covering arose shivering. But they hadscarcely 3 heavier clothes on the bed before t was roasting hot again and the story had to be retold till dawn. During the storm no rain fell in the ney, except on a few blovks’ area near Compton Hill. NO HOPE OF COOLER WEATHER. At 2 a. m. to-day it was 80.8 deg.; at 6a. m., generally the coolest hour, it was 81.1; at the mercury had crosse the 90 line on the Signal Service thermometers and at2this afternoon it was 97.1 deg., with a maximum of 97.3; the hottest day by over one degree of 7 * this year, the next nearest beine July and esterday, whose readings maybe noted in he following table. There was norain re- ported this morning from any Signal Service station in the count except Pittsburg, where a heavy rain had fallen, The indications both general and local point to no change in temperature to-morrow, and on the contrary to more heat. Believers in Rev. Irl. R. Hicks are hoping for the confirmation of his prediction that a danger period would lie between the 12th, to-day, and the lth, Mr. Hicks himself has so much hope in his own 1 that he is now in Kansas City, which he thinks will be the center of the disturbances.

From the Philadelphia Times. I met John Moore at the Oriental Hotel, who is now in one of the three notable firms of brokersin this city. The other two firms are Green & Bateman and Jones, McCormick & Kennett. These are all con- sidered fresh firms, and it is a singular fact that the old race of brokers in New Vork are almost completely routed out of business, the big nrg being mainly from the estern States. There were once coteries of operatives in New York called the ‘*Twenty-third Street Gang,’’ the ‘‘Windsor Hotel Gang,“ eto. but now they talk about the ‘‘Chivago Crowd.” Even Morosini has lost his commission business, and Mr. Gould stated only last week to M. Moore that he was not oing a stroke of business on the street. Mr. Gould also said that a million dollars was 8 for any man, and when he had more than that his bur- dens and * 1 were increased. LJasked Mr. Moore how he estimated the fortunes of Gould and a few others. He thought that Gould was worth $75,000,000, and gave the particulars; he had ten mill- ions in the elevated railroads, thirty mill- ions in telegraph stocks when they are at ar, and about thirty millions Missouri acific Railroad. Besides, he had a good deal of fine real estate. He said that he thought Russell Sage was worth as much as Gould, notwithstanding he had dropped on his puts and calls a year or two ago, not liking to surrender his money. Cyrus W. Field, he thought, might be worth $15,- 000,000. It seems that Gould, Sage, and their associates.are not very fond of Field, whom they consider over-anxious and over-reaching. About Anna Cora Mowatt.

DR. JAS. H. MLEAN. DEATH OF AN OLD sr. LOUISAN AT DANS- VILLE, N. v. A Sketch of a Long and Active Life— His Extensive Business Interests and Politi- cal Career in This City—His Wealth, Dr. J. H. McLean of this city died unexpect- edly this morning at the Sanitarium at Dans- ville, N. T. Tue telegram announcing the fact said that it had not been determined yet when he would be brought home for interment. Dr, MoLean left here on the 12th of last month accompanied by his wife and two children, a boy of 18 and a little girl of 2 years of age, with a view of spending the summer at Nantucket Beach. About a week ago, by the advice of his physician, he left the coast and removed to the Sanitarium at Dansville where bis death occurred, The exact cause of his death could not be learned. About a year ago Dr. McLean went to New York City on a business trip and while there he was prostrated bythe heat. Since that time he has been in an enfeebled condition. A few months ago he received a great mental shock by the death of his little girl, a child of 5, to whom he was deeply attached. This, added to the effect of the 12 pore heavily upon him, ved that would restore his health. nn Dr, MoLean leaves a wife and the two children mentioned above. These are adopted, but have been treated by the Doctor and his wife as their Own, the knowledge of their adoption being keptfromthem. Mrs. Ed Fox and Mrs. J. H. Crane of this city are sisters of Mrs. McLean. HIS LIFE AND CARKER. Dr. James II. McLean was born August 13, 1829, in Ayrshire, Scotiand, and traced his family back to 1263. In 1830 his father, Allan McLean, removed with his family to Nova Scotia, having accepted an appointment as geologist and superintendent of the Albion Mining Company. Here Dr. McLean spent his boyhood. hen about 14 years of age he started for Philadelphia, but developed a fondness for the sea during bis trip to New York. He made a voyage to Bermuda, after which he returned to Philadelphia and obtained employment in a drug store. He began his medical studies, but before oom - pleting the course took charge of a coal com- pany at Minersville, Pa. In 1849 he came to this city, and shortly became a partner in the firm of Bragg & McLean. At the dissolution ofthe firm te went to New Orleans, La. In 1851 he returned to St. Louis when he began the manufacture of patent medicines, and resumed his studies. He received a diploma trom the St. Louis Medi- cal College. Upon the death of Hon. Thos. Allen Dr. McLean announced himself as a can- didate for Congress against Hon. Jas. O. Broadhead to fill the vacant seat. At the elec- tion in the fall of 1882 Dr. McLeay defeated Mr. Broadhead. In 1874 he built the McLean block, Fourth and Market streets. He latterly amassed con- siderable wealth from sales of medicines and devoted much of his time to inventing fleld pieces and implements of war. A few years ago he published a book giving cuts of guns, movable forts, etc., and sent copies to all the Eure- — 2 governments with letters of explanation. ‘his subject completely absorbed all his time when away from his drug At the expiration of the in Congress Dr. McLean candidate for re-election against Hon. John M. Glover, who defeated him. This was his last appearance in the political eld. Dr. McLean was a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church, was Presi- dent of the dard of Trustees of the First M. E. Church, and for fifteen years had been an active church member. His face was familiar to business. short term was a many residents of this city who did not even know his name. Mounted on a fine black horse the doctor was a familiar figure on the streets. He was a great lover of gare saddie horses, and brought to this city for his own use some of the finest now seen on the road. HIS WEALTH, Dr. J. H. McLean’s wealth was over a mill- ion dollars. The assessed value of his real estate in this city was $247,670. Among his largest pieces of real estate are the Tower Building, Fourth and Market streets, bis residence on Washington avenue and Robbins Lane, his laboratory building on Broadway, and the building formerly used for that purpose on Chestnut street. between Third and Fourth. He had large in- vestments elsewhere. The cost valuation of his realty was $561,441.07, which by increases and improvements is now placed at very nearly a million and a quarter, The income from his business was $100,000 per an- num. In the management ot the drug business Dr. McLean was exacting and economical. His outside ventures were nearly all success- ful, thougn some of them entailed large losses. s political campaigns, it will be re- membered, caused great complications, as it was charged thata ‘‘bar’l’’ was used in the contest. A $6,000 transaction in this connection received a deal of publicity at the incurred some losses from the foundin Morning Call, anewspaper which had a brief existence in this city. She Kills Rattlesnakes. From a Reseca (Pa., Special Dispatch. Mrs. William Jacobs of Sadlersville, Warren County, where she recently went from this plave, writes to her sister that on Thursday morning last she went down to the cellar to get some butter for break- fast. Arattlesnake lay coiled on the lid of the butter tub, and 1 — sounded its alarm and raised its head for fight. Mrs. Jacobs killed the snake with a mop- handle. It was a large black rattlesnake with six rattles. fter breakfast the same morning Mrs. Jacobs went to the wood-pile to get some chips. On the axe blade, basking in the sun, lay another rattlesnake which gave every indication that itintended to remain where it was. Mrs. Jacobs smashed its head with a stick of wood. This one was a yellow rattler with eight rattles. On Friday morning the farmer’s wife went down cellar again after butter. This time she was compelled to bring the mop-handle into play again to dispatch another rattle- snake. This was a black one and had eleven rattles. Mrs. Jacobs told her hus- band that he would have to get the butter from the cellar thereafter. Saturday morning he went down cellar. On the floor near the butter-tub lay a fourth rat- tlesnake, which was also dispatched with the mop-handle. This one had nine rat- tles. Saturday forenoon Mrs. Jacobs went out huckleberrying. She came back at 3 o’clock in the afternoon with ten quarts of huckleberries, two large rattle-snakes and a copperhead, or pilot, a deadly ser- pent, which she had killed in the berry atch. Mrs. Jacobs is not yet 20 and has een married but a mouth. — Boston Mourning Cards. From the Boston Record. The other day a very dainty young wo- man in black, with mourning veil so draped as to set off her shapely head and neck te advantage enter a large sta- tionery store on Wasbington street and said sweetly to the clerk behind the coun- ter: * you have all kinds of mourning cards?’ “Yes’m: we have the cards and can get them engraved for you.” „Oh, I don’t want the kind they * graved—i want playing cards, you .““ ‘‘Mourning playing cards!“ „Why, yes; don’t you think they would be real nice and tasty!“ The clerk was obliged to confess that the trade hadn’t yet reached the point of sup lying playing cards with mourpin borders for bereaved lovers of whist an poker, and the lady left the store disap- pointed.

Hayne Hamilton in the Critic. There are three poets of this country whose lives can never be read without bit- ter pain, the direct results of poverty being but too conspicuous in the deter- mination of their melancholy fates. One was Edgar Poe; the others were Henry Timrod and Sidney Lanier. Poe may be almost said to have had an apotheosis, a world-wide apotheosis, since his decease; yet one reflects that but for a tithe of the sums paid for editions de luxe of hig works during a single decade might in his life-time have spared himthe horror of his young wife’s death, hastened by des- titution and hardships innumerable, and transformed his ‘‘bodeful raven’’ into some white dove of peace. I am sure,” wrote Timrod to me but a few months be- fore his melancholy end, I assure you that I would give ever thing that I have ever composed for $100in hand!” Think of the terrible depths of want which forced a declaration like this! From Bal- timore, November 19, 1880, Lanier wrote: „For six months past a ghastly fever has been taking possession of me ever day about 12 m.,and holding my hea under the surface of indescribable distress for the next twenty hours, subsiding only enough each morning to let me get on my working harness, but never intermitting, A number of tests show it to be not the hectic, so well known in consumption and this day it has baffl a the skill I could find in New York, Philadelphia and here. I have my- self been disposed to think it arose wholly from the bitterness of having to spend m time in making academio lectures an boys’ books—pot boilers all—when a thousand songs are 9 in my heart that will certainly kill me if I do not utter them soon. But I don’tthink this diagno- sis has found favor with my pr cal hysicians; and meanwhile work ay after day in such suffering as is piteous to see. I hope this does not sound likea Jeremiad. I men- tion these matters oaly in the strong re- bellion against what I fear might be your thought—namely, forgetfulness of you— if you did not know the causes which keep me from sending you more frequent mes- sages. I do not, and will not, forget the early encouragements which used to come from you when I was just daring to think of making verses.’’ I have been told that Northern ad- mirers of Lanier’s genius have contributed liberally to the support of bis widow and children. A noble deed! But I wonder if the widowed woman whom he once de- scribed as his fair young wife guarding the candle in a breezy portico with her rounded hands while he read aloud to his friends—I wonder if she does not sometimes look out through a blinding mist from the haven ofa tardy refuge and reflect upon the ‘‘might-have-been,’’ could help only have reached the little family to save, or at least prolong her poet’s life?

St. Louis is abont to lose another of her charming vacallsts who has achieved dis- tinction abroadin the person of Miss Marie Glover O'Sullivan, best known to the operatic world as Marie Giover. Miss Glover, whoisa native born St. Louisan and has spent the greater portion of her life at home, leaves with her mother for New York to-night to spend the remainder of the summer and early fail with friends at Red Bank and Seabright, N. J., after which she will take up her resi- dence in New York City. At her home on Chestnut street, last even- ing, Miss Glover chatted pleasantly with a rep- resentative of the PostT-DISPATCH. She was surrounded by saratogas and other evidences of depurture from her home. The little song-bird said that the urging of fricnds in the East had led to a determination to leave, notwithstanding the protestations of her father. In response to a question as to whether she would go on the stage Miss Glover said that she would.in all likelihood as she bas had sev- eral excellent offers, and also offers to sing in leading New York churches. Her debut was made with the McCaull Opera Company, re- maining with this organization for nearly three years and singing in comic and light opera with success. She has also sung in the Ford, Barton and Norcross Opera Companies with success, in concerts at Steinway Hall and in Gilinore’s concerts. Miss Glover studied in Paris and made a tour of Europe. ‘*By-the-way,’’ said she, ‘‘I have just re- ceived a letter from my friend, Adelina Patti- Nicolini, who wili sail for this country in October and will make a concert tour.“ Miss Glover kindly gave the letter of the celebrated singer to the reporter, with per- mission to publish it. It is written in a delicate running hand and in graceful, easy style, and is interesting, coming, as it does, from the diva after her marriage. She pays a flattering tribute to Americans which will doubtless be returned with interest in shining gold. CRAIG-Y-NO8 CASTLE, YSTRDGYNLAIS, SWANSEA VALLEY, SOUTH WALES, July 29. 18386.

The remem- brances of ny friends in America are ever fresh and will continue so. and their boundless sympathy are dearto my memory, and now that Providence has ordered events to be so that I may once more visit them, I confess it is far from displeasing to me to accept the wili of fate.

The Ingenuity Shown in Devising Plans for the Avoidance of Honest Toil—A Rural Counterfeiter Turned Cracksman—Sen- sational Safe Robberies — Gil’s Set of Penitentiary. By Telegraph to the POST-DISPATCH. New YORK, August 12.—A career wonderful for the ingenuity shown in devising plans for the avoidance of honest toiland the capture of wealth closed yesterday in the Northern In- diana Penitentiary at Michigan City, Ind. In- formation of the death of ‘‘Gil’’ Yost was received here by Detective Pinkerton. Yost made his home in this city tor many years and was well known to the police, not only of New York, but of the prin- cipal cities in the country, as an expert and daring burglar. His early home was in the neighborhood of Fonda, and he began life as a boatman on the Erie canal. The life was too uneventful for him and he threw variety into it by passing counterfeit money among the rural people that dwelt on its banks. He was growing dissatisfied with his moderate gains when he met Alexander McGregor, a noted safe burgiar, who intro- duced him to another crook, James Barnes, Both of these men recognized Yost’s talents and convinced him that he was intended for something better than shoving the queer. He joined the gang, and between 1865 and 1878 they proved a terror to Western New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan and Indiana. McGregorand Barnes were finally arrested in Laporte, Ind., by Pinkerton for robbing an Adams Express messenger at Troy, Pa., of $25,000. Much of the stolen property was recovered, and the two robbers were sentenced to ten years’ im- brisonment in the Northern Penitentiary at Michigan City. After traveling through the South Yost returned to Fonda and formed a gang of his own. He madeaset of burglars’ tools, which weighed only five pounds, and which could be carried in an inside coat pocket without attracting attention. He went to In- diana, Was CAUGHT ROBBING A SAFE and locked up for three years. After his re- lease he drifted to New York. He fell in with Billy Porter, John Irving, Geo. Howard, alias Lesly, who was afterwards murdered in the woods in Westchester County, Jimmy Logue, a Philadelphia burglar, and others who worked with them. He was arrested with Porter and Irving for being concerned in what is known asthe Patchen avenue burglary in Brooklyn. He escaped conviction | by feigning insanity. At one time he ex- pressed a desire to reiorm, and was given employment by John M. Starin on one of bis barges as captain. He rewarded Mr. Starin’s kindness by devising schemes to have the pier robbed, and is supposed to have been the one who arranged the plan, which was af- terwards carried out, to steal a large quantity of silk from Mr. Starin’s hier. Lest and his- confederates, with lis set of tools, confined themselves almost entirely to robbing safes of country jewelry stores, and so successful was their work that the wholesale jewelers found it necessary, in order to protect retailers who, in many in- stances, were their debtors to large amounts, to form whatis known as the Jewelers’ Se- curity Alliance, for the purpose of following upand punishing burgiars who robbed its members. The Alliance retained Pinkerton as their detective. Aboutthistime a quarrel | sociates. with him the setoftools which the gang had Their beautiful country | been operating with in the East, thinking that occurred between Yost and his New York as- Yost then leftforthe West, taking he bad taken the only set of tools, of his own invention, which was in existence. But his pals, who had been at work with him, without Yost’s knowledge, had duplicates made of his set of tools and when he went West, the men with whom he quarreled. were still able to continue their work. Yost settled in Chicago and formed a gang of burglars composed of himself as leader, Bill — Eddie Quinn and John Meany. THREE NOTED CHICAGO OFFENDERS. They immediately began operations on post- office and jewelry sales. On one occasion when Robert Pinkerton was visiting Chicago, he met Yost on one ofthe principal streets and pointed him out to his brother William. Yost at thistime was not known in Chicago. A watch was placed on him and his residence discovered. Two weeks after that time the jewelry store of E. Veil & Son of Laporte, Ind., was robbed by the Yost method. William Pinkerton at once proceeded to Yost’s house and arrested Yost and Houllahan and re- covered a large amount of jewelry stolen. Yost and Houllahan were taken to Laporte. Houllahan pleaded guilty and ot five years. Yost stood trial and was sen- enced to fourteen years in the Northern In- diana Penitentiary. The tools which Yost had been operating with were not recovered until some time after his arrest. They fell in- to the hands of his associates, i.cany and Quinn, who were not as careful with them as Yost had been and they allowed other burglaris to get a knowledge of the secret which Yost so jealously guarded as to the mechanism of his tools. At the time of the arrest by Pinkerton of Wm. Lyman, the forger, and Robert Bowman and John Froley for heavy forgeries on the American Express Company at Catskill, N, I., about seven years ago, „Gil!“ Yost undertook the release of the gang from the Catskill Jail. One stormy night he succeeded in passing into Bowman, who was confined on the second floor, tools to enable him to break jail. A day or two afterwards these tools were found in the mattress on which Bowman slept. Yost hada great habit of feigning insanity when arrested, and by this dodge succeeded several times in getting out of trouble. When sent to prison in Northern Indiana for the Veil burglary the keepers recognized him as a former inmate of the prison who had / feigned insanity, and at this time, although Yost pretended to be insane and refused to do any work, he was kept in close corfinement — the time of his incarceration until his eath.

THK BERNHARDT-NOIRMONT SCANDAL IN RIO JANREIO, BRAZIL. Mme. Noirmont’s Efiort to Leave the Com- pany—Bernhardt’s Accusation Arouses the Beauty’s Fighting Blood—The Actress in Court—The Divine Sarah Insults an Aged Judge-—Young Bernhardt’s Chal- lenge. By Telegraph to the PosT-DISPATCH. NEW Tonk, August 12.—The Paris corre- spondent of a morning paper, under date of July 31, writes as follows: Everybody in Paris is gossiping at present about the Bernhardt- Noirmont scandalin Rio Janeiro. There are various versions of the affair, but two points are clear from amess of the correspondents on the incident—that Sarah found it necessary to horsewhip one of her artistes, and that she denounced in language more expressive than polite the Brazilian magistrate for re- fusing to consign Mme. Noirmont to a dungeon without trial or hearing. Mme. Noirmont was amember of Sarah’s troupe aud engaged at the rather slender salary of 100 a month. She had never played in public previous to this engagement, and she was bet- ter known in Paris for her remarkable beauty thun for her dramatic qualities. While performing in the theatre of San Pedro di Aicantara, Rio Janeiro, she found her role too fatiguing and resolved to leave the company. On the morning of the 20th ult., Mme. Lernhardt on entering the theatre found Mme. Noirmont en- paged in packing her trunks. Sarah up- braided her for her ‘‘treason’’ in thus desert- ing her in a strange country, aud Noirmont replied in language that the Paris journals could not print. Two days after Mme. Noir- mont was stopped on leaving the theater by one of the employes of the company who in- formed her that he epuld not allow anything to be taken out without an order. Mme. Noir- moint re-entered the theater with the porter and asked who had issued the order. Sarah, who was standing on the peristyle, stepped forward and stated that she had given the order, ‘‘because she (Mme. Noirmont) had stowed away in her trunk things which did not belong to her.“ Mine. Noirmont replied to this accusation by SLAPPING SARAH’S CHEEKS. The other artistes immediately rushed in and led Mme. Noirmont to the police station. The magistrate listened to the accusation of both parties and to the witnesses. The judge then requested Sarah, who was vehementiy de- nouncing everybody, to wait an instant in order to attach her signature to the document he was drawing up when she leaned forward and shrieked in his face, ‘‘You are only an old fool, an old imbecile, and I will have no more todo with you.’’ Mme. Noirmont was dis- missed on bail of $1,000. That night Sarah was to appear in her role in Adrienne Lecouvreur.“ The scandal had, meantime, spread and the theater was crowded with an expect- antaudience. Sarah acted superbly, though at times, it is said, she appeared convulsed with anger, and whenever she caughta glimpse of Noirmont ner eyes flashed fire. On the fail of the curtain Sarah started precipitately for her loge, but, unbappily, as she stepped into the coulisse, she met her hated enemy face to face. ‘* Que faites vous ici? shrieked the ‘‘Divine Sar an. ‘‘Jene veux pas de chien This polite sentence was interrupted dy Noirmont, who aimed a slap at Bernhardt’s face. Meantime M. Garnier seized Noirmont and heid her arms pinioned while Sarah, who had procured a whip, administered seven or eight iashes on her enemy's face, each one leaving ared mark. Mme. Noirmont rushed out of the theater SCREAMING WITH PAIN and rushed toward her hotel. On reaching the hous de Teatro, she was met by Maurice Bern- hardt and his cousin, who grossly insulted her in the presence of a large throng of peo- ple. This last act of aggression aroused gen- eral indignation and was denounced by the editor of the Rio Journal, Young Bernhardt sent the editor a challenge tomortal combat the next morning, and the editor replied by sending a pair of rattle-Doxes to the two beardless braves. The day after the horsewhipping incident Mme. Noirmont lodged a complaint against Mme. Bern- hardt and her friends for assault and for contempt of court. Meantime Mme. Garnier served notice on Mme. Noirmont to appear at the theater and sign the annulment of the contract. This she refused to do, but as she had some personal business to attend to in tue theater she went there ac- companied by two policemen for her protection. Sarah and her companions were served with summons to ap- pear in court and both artistes chose their lawyers for trial. The affair created a great sensation among all classes of society and ey- erybody took sides. The entire staff of the Italia, an Italian jour- nal, issued 1 notice declaring thatif Mme. Noirmont could notfinda de- fender among her own companions or among the aristocracy of Rio, she could come at any hour and chose à defender from among the staff of the Italia. It appears from a recent dispatch from Rio that the affair was settled without legal proceedings. At all events Sarah escaped imprisonment as she is now in Buenos Ayres performing with extraor- dinary eclatand success. Her Rio scandal only adds a piquancy to her attractions and as it appears from the benefit § ac- corded her in that city on the 9th inst. before leaving, only heightened her popularity. A hundred students came down from San Paulo to present the great ar- tiste with an album, and ali the school turned out to do her honor. There were orations and poems and congratulations, and Sarah Wan called everything sweet ood and great that the crazy poets could nadine. Even poor old Emperor Dom Pedro lost his mentai equilibrium in the delirium of rejoicing and sent for Sarah and presented her with a costly set of bracelets, set in brill- lants.
