Dan Kennedy’s Contradictory Assertions— How He Got Matters Mixed While Under Oath—Trusten P. Dyer Explains—The Re- publican Committees—Political Gossip. The brazen effrontery of some politicians is simply sublime and passeth all understand- ing. His candidacy for Railroad Commis- sioner stamps D. O. Kennedy of Springfield, Mo., as one of the ‘‘cheeky ones. 9 A very high grade quality of assurance is cer- tainly required of a man who comes before the Democratic party of the State for a responsi- ble office, with such à vulnerable record as he possesses. Reports of Kennedy’s short-comings and unreliability have been in circulation here since the opening of the State cam- paign, and have been generally credited by persons acquainted with Kennedy’s past. Out in the State, however, where Kennedy poses as a straightforward, honest newspaper editor, he has been very successful in his canvass, and just at present may be said to be in the lead for the nomination. When the County Delegates have been enlightened on the subject of Ken: nedy’s past, itis highly probable that their good opinion of him will experience a sudden change and Mr. Kennedy will drop out of the race with scarcely a struggle. The damaging story against Kennedy, re- ferred to as being hawked about the streets, had its origin in the court proceedings in the case of the St. Louis Type Foundry vs, D. O. Kennedy, in the May term of the Greene County Circuit Court. The case in- volved the question of the payment to Ken- nedy of certain money inthe nature of dam- ages, allowed for time claimed to have been lost and expenses incurred by Kennedy, owing to @ defect in the ma- chinery of a printing press which he had pur- chased from the type foundry. From a tran- script of Kennedy’s testimony in the case on file in the office of the Clerk of the Supreme Court at Jefferson City, it appears that Kennedy contradicted himself flatly on several occasions while under oath, thereby committing what is commonly called perjury, On the cross-examination Kennedy said: ‘‘I aid my railroad fare from Springfield to St. ouis, $11.85. 1 paid railroad fare for the round trip, $23.70. I paid three days’ hotel bill at St. Louis at the Pianters’ House, & per day—$i2, and I paid $3 for meals taken on the road. a What meals did you take on the road?“ 1 „J took dinner and breakfast going and coming.“ Q.: Did you pay your railroad fare in cash?“ hennedy: ‘‘I did.’’ Q.: Did you pay the balance of your ex- penses in cash?’’ Kennedy: ‘‘I did.’’ J.: Did you pay $12, hotel bill, at the Planters’ House in St. Louis in cash for three days’ board?’’ Kennedy: ‘‘I did?’’ Q.: Vo you swear that you paid your rall- road fare and other expenses in cash?“ Kennedy; ‘‘Ido.’’ Q.: Are you not mistaken?’’ . : Jam not.“ Q.: Mr. Kennedy, did you not have a rail - road pass and did you not make that trip to St. Louis and back on that pass?’’ Kennnedy: I paid my fare. I had no pass. O.: Mr. Kennedy, don’t you know that you had a pass and made that trip to St. Louis and back on it, and that you paid no railroad fare, and is not your name on a list kept in St. Louis by the road, of those to whom passes were issued for tbat year, and at the expira- tion of that year did you not return the pass to the General Superintendent of the road?’’ Kennedy: I bad a pass and traveled that trip and paid no railroad fare.“ Further on, Mr. Kennedy states that he made the trip at night and took no meals on the road, in direct contradiction to his previous assertion that he spent & for dinner and sup- per on the trip. Kennedy had stated that he * * at the Planters’ House three days at the rate of 8 per day, for which he had paid cash. The attorney for the plaintiff asked him: ‘*Mr. Kennedy, don’t you know that you remained in St. Louis on that trip but one night, got into the cityin the morn- ing and returned to Springfield the following night?’’ Kennedy answered; ‘‘I remained in the city but one night.’’ .: Was not your hotel bill only $6?’’ hennedy: ‘‘I think it was. Q.: Mr. Kennedy, your statement on your direct examination asto amountof expenses paid on that trip is untrue?’ Kennedy: It is incorrect.“ The record speaks for itself. Mr. Kennedy Brands proven on hisown statement of false swearing. THE REPUBLICAN COMMITTEE. In yesterday’s PosT- DISPATCH a mistake was made in the statement that the Pohlman Re- publican Committee would meet last night. The committee meets at 5 o’clock this afternoon at the office of Secretary Ford Smith, 16 North Fourth street. Arraggements will be made for the primaries for the selection of dele- gates to the Republican State Convention. Afew of Mr. Filley’s friends, prominent Republicans, met at the old man's“ house last night and practically decided to send a delegation tothe State Oonvention, thereby relegating the question between the two com- mittees to the convention for settiement. THE EIGHTEENTH WARD. The friends of Judge Martin in the Eighteenth Ward met last night at the house of Mr. Geqggge Castieman for the purpose of selecting a Martin ticket for the primaries., The situation was talked over and everything found in good shape, but it was decided to defer the selec- tion of the delegates until a later period, pre — 1 this evening, when — meeting will be held. ‘ The Henry faction inthe same ward met at the Hendricks Club.

Dyer feels very much an- noyed and hurt over the publication of his in- terview with Judge Henry at Sweet Springs. He says that whatever conversea- tion he had upon the subject was strictly 22 and with per sons whom he thought he could trust. He did not desire what he said published and had not the faintest idea that it would be given to the pub- lic. He was merely relating the incident to some gentlemen at the Four Courts. Mr. E didate tor J „Egan, candidate for Justice of the Peace, and . Renan. candidate for Constable in the ighteenth Ward, are beginning to show signs of a desire to participate inthe Henry Martin contest which is. raging + fiercely in that ward.

A SLIGHT RELIEF. The Rain of Last Night Brings Only Brief Cooiness. The hope expressed in the Post-DISPATCH last evening that Rev. Irl R. Hicks’ prediction for bad weather between the 12th and the loth would be verified by morning, was realized before nightfall with an emphatic corroboration of wind and rain. The fearful heat of the day, the mercury runnin up above 100 dex. on the stree level, was but the precursor of what seemed at first to be a genuine tornado. After 4 p. m. the clouds piled up in the west and grew blacker and blacker as night drew near. Just as the crowds were pouring out of office, shop and factory, the clouds broke with a roar and from all points of the compass torna- doish gusts of wind blew awnings down, sent hats scurrying along the gutters, and | VOW VENGEANCE. ERCISED OVER AN ORANGE OUTRAGE. — —]— Revolution in san Domingo - Foreign News. BELFAST, August 18, Noon.—Rain continues to fall, keeping the streets clear of people. The authorities intend to order all the taverns closed at ö o’clock this evening and keep them closed until 10 o’clock Monday morning. AN ORANGE OUTRAGE. 2p.m.—The excitement occasioned by the riots has been revived by an outrage commit- ted by the Orangemen of Queen’s Island upon a Catholic named Johnson. The latter was re- turning home from work when he was seized by the Orangemen and given a coat of tar and feathers. The Catholics are very indignant at swept thick volumes of dust like drifting snow along every street, while it suddenly grew very dark. wind, dust, shingles, hats, packages and signs, pedestrians could make no headway and homeward travelers quickly took refuge in- doors, leaving the streets tothe angry god of the winds, who cracked his cheeks for fifteen minutes in avain endeavor to upset street cars and drays that laboriously tried to pursue their way against the moving air-currents. THE GREATEST COMMOTION was caused in Lafayette Park where the larg- est crowd of the season Lad gathered to enjoy the concert. So large was the audience, which was almost entirely ladies, that from the band stand to the lake there was a solid mass of white dresses. When the storm broke a volume of dust rolled over from Mis- souri avenue driving the musicians from the stand. This was followed by such a roaring and = crackling of the trees that the crowd of frightened females scattered like sheep before a wolf. For a few minutes there was a gen- uine panic. Nurses grasping their little charges were running toa place of safe- ty, inothers were crying and screaming for their children lost in the sud- den darkness, hats were blowing in eveey direction, infants were being traim- pled on at every turn of the paths, and indeed the uproar was so great that it is said, one of the statues was seen to grow. pale inthe murky light. But the wind soon gradually lost its force and everybody got home safely. It looked at first as if the clouds would pass off with only a wind legacy, but with- in an hour after the first loosening of the sky big drops gave way toa heavy fail of rain that continued with refreshing steadi- ness till after 9 o’clock. The display of lightning was very severe and numerous losses are reported from all portions of the city. About the only shock experienced was at the residence of A. A. Talmage on Washington avenue near Grand, where the chimney was knocked down and the servant girl given a slight shock. RUNAWAY BOATS. During the storm anumber of steamers were blown from their moorings just below the city. The St. Louis & Mississippi Valley Oompany had the steamers Sidney Dillon, My Choice and Henry Lourey laid up at the foot of Miller street, alon with a fleet of six barges. The first har blast took the Dillon and Lourey and the barges and the Choice followed almost im- mediately. Just below these boats the steamer Mary M. Michaels was at the Chester Manufacturing Company's landing. Her lines parted and she was whirled around in great shape. The Valiey boats and barges landedin aheap on the bar opposite Anna street, but the Michaels went down about a mile. As soon as the wind abated the Valley Company's tug, Geo. H. Rea, took a crew to the My Choice. Steam was soon raised and with the assistance of the tug the runaway craft was brought back to this side, none of them being injured, but the watchman of each boat was badly scared. TO-DAY'’S RECORD. The wind, which had set in the north last night, after the storm feil into the south again with the dawn of this morning, and brought back the old heat, not quite as bad as yesterday, but, nevertheless, so oppressive as to constitute a reminder of yesterday's scorch- ing warmth and not of its cooling rain. Rev. IriR. Hicks was onthe streets explaining how the verification of his prophecy had come about. He says that unless the wind gets out of the South and another period of cool weather is realized with the wind in the north- west, another damaging storm may be expect- ed before the present danger period is over. At the Signal office to-day the highest read- ing up to3 p. m. was 95.3 within 2 deg. of yes- terduy’s record, which was the hottest of the year. The official readings were: Twoa. m., 77; 6a. m., 74; 10a. m., 8.3; 2 p. m., 95. The amount of rainfall recorded on the Custom- house dome was but 21-100 of an inch, but in the West End the precipitation was much greater.

An Insane Man Found in a State of Semi- Nudity—Carondelet Jottings. About 9 o’clock this morning an unknown man was found lying at the foot of Stein street, suffering intenscly trom a severe fever. When brought to the Police Station he gave his name as John Sands of Eau Olaire, is., and anid that he arrived in this from the above place last Monday, an obtained work as deck-hand on the steamer Henry A. Tyler, to work his way to Pittsburg, where his parents reside. About 4 o’clock this morning. as the Tyler was going down the river, she stopped and the captain put him off. Feeling too weak to do any walking he lay down at the above place,where the ra found him. He was sent to the Oity Hall in the ambulance via the Dispensary. =A colored male floater was found at the foot of Filmore street yesterday evening by Officer Eckhard, The body was sent tothe Morgue.

The patrol wagon was out on another errand at the time of this arrest and the Sergeant had to walk his man through the streets until the police station was reached. At the station-house it was learned that the man was born in Belgium and arrived in New York nearly two years ago where he was employed as adrug clerk. Abou three months ago he left New York for St. Louis with the sum of $500 on his person. tis thought that upon his arrival at Pittebu he was robbed of his money and baggage. bince then he has been unsound of m d. and ar- rived in st.

England, PRESIDENT RITCHIE RETURNED. Lonpon, August 13.—Mr. C. T. Ritchie, President of the Local Government Board, has been elected to Parliament for the St. George’s-in-the-East division of the Tower Hamlets, by a majority of 883. A CABINET MEETING. The Cabinet met this afternoon and re- mained in session two hours and a half. All the Ministers were present except Lord Ash- vorne, Lord Chancellor of Ireland. A COLLIERY HORROR. A dsipatch from Leigh, Luncashire, states that a terrible explosion occurred this morn- ing in the Woodend colliery, at that place. One hundred and forty miners were below at the time, and many of them were shockingly burned. Two corpses have already been res- cued from the mine, and it is feared that many more willbe found. A later dispatch from Leigh says that forty miners perished by the explosion. SOCIALIST LEADERS FINED. Williams and Mainwaring, the Socialist leaders who were arrested for holding a Socialist meeting at the junction of Bell street and the Edgeware Road, on Sunday, July 18, were to-day convicted of ‘‘obstructing the streets’’ and fined $100 each, with the alter- native of paying the fine or serving two months imprisonment. They were given until Tuesday next to make up their minds, NO SHORT TIME. The proposee inauguration of short time in the Lancashire cottou mills will not be carried out.

It is also thought that nearly that numberof men will take part in the procession to the meeting. The procession will pass along all the principal streets and boulevards, excepting those near the King's palace. Six thousand sol- diers have been detailed to guard the route of the procession from disorder. Six thousand other troops will be stationed along the line of mareh.

She alleges that though an able- bodied man, physically and mentally capable of earning his own living, pelled her to support not only herself but him; that he took her money and spent it in the gratification of expensive and luxurious tastes, and treated her with cruelty. Of the cruelties and indignities alleged, Mrs. Chambers says her husband was groundlessly jealous and would not permit herto converse with gentlemen, relatives or acquaintances, without charging her with improprieties. He would insist upon her going riding with him and then drive his horse at such a furious and dangerous speed as to nearly deprive his wife of her senses, Tears and entreaties on such occasions were of no avail, and only re- suited in his driving the horse at a more reckless pace than before, In order to support herself Mrs, Cham- bers was engaged in dressmaking aud for the purpose of that business was obliged to employ many youn her house.

FORENOON SESSION, CLOSING 1 P. u. The stock of No.2 red in this market got above the 3,000,000 bu. mark this morning. Although there were local rains in sections, yet telegraphic advices from many points in Missouri and Iowa,especially the lat- ter State. came in this morning of clear and hot weather, some stating that the hottest day of the season was expected. Oorn was said to be actually burning up and the prospects very discouraging. Shenandoah, Io., in one of the best corn sections, said feeders were buying all the corn at 85c. Lousiana. Mo., state that farmers were refusing to sell their wheat and the mills were receiving a fourth or even afifththey didaweek ago. Similar advices came in from other points. The Cincinnati Price Current estimates the cro of corn at 1,565,000,000 bu, which is 85,000,000 bu less than the Government, and gives damage at 20 percent. Atchison, Kan., wired: ‘‘Hot winds all over Kansas.’’——'‘A’ prominent cotton man predicted a squeeze in cotton for the month of September,“ remarked a dealer. As the country at large is long heavily, I agree with the gentieman, but believe the squeeze willbe of the bulls, and that the bears will ive them a hugging that will be more uncom- ortable than they will really care for. This country is now %c lower than Liverpool, which makes exports impossible, and that market, if it pursues the hand-to-mouth Polley in buying that it did last year and declines any more will be followed by our markets. Manchester is dull and drooping, and any attempt toforce an advance on this side, will resuit in the clos- ing down of the mills in the Oldham dis- trict.’’——-Tom Akin leaves to-night for the secashore.——A late private cable states that the 4 crop of Europe is 20 per cent short, whichis rather different from the report of the London Economist that the rye crop is ‘‘a much better crop than in 1885.’’ While the of crop this country is about 2,000,000 bu larger than last year, it is 25 per cent short of three years ago, and the quality is exceptionally fine, besides weighing 57 to 60 pounds to the dushel.— Another good man going. Will Hull leaves this evening tor atwo weeks’ visit to Spirit Lake, Io. No one could complain of the inspection of wheat to-day, as 80 er cent raded No. 2. This was ar ahead of Chicago.—Wet weather in Europe was the latest bull music for the bears to dance to.——The Executive Board of the Linseed Oil Combination, now in session in Chicago, will advance the price of oil 2c, so it is stated. Export purchases of wheat at the seaboard to-day were 200,000 bu at Balti- more and 55 loads at New York, the two equal 0,000 bu. W heat—The English cables that came in this morning were an eye-opener for the crowd, tor from dullness they suddenly switched over to firmness and an advance. Cargoes to arrive and spot equal to 3c per bu higher; and also reporting un- settled weather. They were backed up, too, by Continental buyers purchasing in New York and Chicago. This change to strength had a decidedly reviving effect upon the markets of this country, all of which improved in value. There were reports from the country of farmers refusing to sell, owing to their fears of ashort corn crop, and at dif- ferent points the mills were said to be receiv- ing much less wheat than some time ago.

EIGHT NEW AND APPROVED MDRTRAITS OF PRESIDENT CLEVELAND'S WIFE. something About the Possibilities of the American Girl as Outlined in Mrs. Cleve- land’s Case—A Social Success and a Political Strength to the Democratic Party—A Difficult Rele to Fill, but It Is Filled. NYY) yey? 0 ‘ SS e n leer 9h, 2 tid & It seems a little late to say anything about Mrs. Frances Cleveland, the two months’ bride of the President. The newspapers have bad wonderful accounts of her trousseau, of her marriage andof her honeymoon. They have devoted so much space to telling of all these Interesting things that little has been left to tell of Mrs. Cleveland herself. And then, too, the scores of photographs in as many different poses continually call her to mind and makeitas difficult to keep from writing about her as Mr. Dickens found it to keep from putting good things to eat in his books or Mr. Dick from getting poor Charles II. into his manuscript. So many ofthese pictures look out at one from the etreets that it is hard to say whether she is pretty or not. To-day, however, the Post- DISPATCH is able to give nine portraits fresh from the White House. They are hard- ‘ly a week old, andare from advance proofs. No one ofthem is for sale yet. They show Mrs. Cleveland as she really is to-day and are given with full consent of all parties. They are absolutely new. Everybody is interested in her. A few old fogy business men may shrug their shoulders and say ‘‘Pooh!’’ but you, madam, and you, fair Ciarissa, you know how carefully you have watched for accounts of the cutof her gown, and how earnestly you have followed the style of wearing her hair that she adopts. How many times have you tried before the mirror of the dressing-case to see whether that careless fluffy frizz suits your own style. For, in spite of what you may say, you know that she is the firstlady of the land, and as such you stand loyally ready to follow her lead and to fight for her taste against imported English or French fashions. It has been a difficult role fora mere school- girl to play—this part of first lady. To the credit of American womanhood be it said that she does itso well. Only a year out of school, a young woman who in England would be just beginning to find out that it isn’t necessary to blush every time a man speaks. She bas filled the high place in a way that makes every American proud of her. Foreigners who visit us are apt to laugh at our precocious children, and at the self - possessed manner of our young girls. They cannot accustom themselves to the air of independence that sits so lightly and so charmingly on our girls. They have to admit that the girls are modest, of course, but it la a modesty entirely removed from fearor self- consciousness. Admirable as Mrs. Cleveland has conducted herself, allofus knew before- hand that she would do well, for was not she an American girl, and would not our wives and sisters and sweethearts have done equally well? We know they would. n. . ~~ 1 Even padlitically she has lent strength to the party herhusband represents. You, oh, fair Clarissa, do not care for this, of course. 80 long as Aer go wns are in perfect taste and her table ranners so charming you don’t care to gofurher. Butthe great public does care. There bas beén a simple democracy about her tions that has not been lost upon the peoyle, She is of tum and near to them eve; more than be is. This thing—a little mafer—of giving the people a share in her bomy face,in letting them put her photo- griphs on their mantels, is a graceful recogni- tim of theirrights. She knows that she is of merest to them, and with simple good nature s she has no rightto be exclusive, and so atters her pictures, so that whosoever cares r her may have one. It is democratic, it is womanly, it is kind. Only last year this pretty 22-year-old girl —— vd — 4 eee Commencement Day f ge and read her graduating essay. It was not really an essay—it was a story“ and gave the key to her somewhat romantic character. A basket of flowers at hand told that the attentions of her president- lover had begun in earnest. And after that there were always flowers from him at home In fact, every now and then through ber den lor years these delicate tokens of remem- brance came to her. Butabout the story of graduating day. It was a forerunner of one or two she wrote since and an earnest of what she may do, if time permits and Mr. Cleveland does not ob- ject. Crossing over inthe Noordland, when | she came to be married in the spring, she wrote while on board a pretty littie sketch, with areporter forthe hero. She has always been inclined to like newspaper men. She hasmet few. The novel and the essays of Rose Elizabeth Cleveland and the books of Queen Victoria have set an excellent precedent Which she hopes to follow.

So every one of us that he can congratulate the bride on this chief charm. Look at all these portraits we give to-day and say whether the face is not a pretty trustful one. Nestling away in the soft contour of the left cheek there is a coy little-dimple that comes and goes in a quick way that makes one wish that she were al- ways laughing, so it might be more accurately located. The rapidly printing presses are rude to this and blot it out with their quick work, but it is there all the same, and onein the chin to keep it company. The hairis combed back from the forehead, leaving wil- fultufts to cluster in an independent wey above the eyebrows. The complexion is rather blonde than otherwise, and the hair of that soft shade of brown that goes so well with dark blue eyes. The one mistake people make who have not seen Mrs. Cleveland and judge from her photographs, is that of im- agining her more slender than she really is. Tall and well moulded, she is more symmet- rical and stronger than the average American woman. She is said to weigh 146 pounds. 7 7 Py Ua Oo * aj 2 2821 i} 4 2 hi ke = remodeled country -house. Even atthe Central School in Buffalo and afterwards at Wells College in Aurora, Miss Folsom always put a little of herself into her lessons.’’ This individuality has stood her in good stead in the difficult position she now fills so cleverly. No man, with so little training, could prove such a social success. Just look at the few opportunities she has had. Reared in an interior town, she went little into so- ciety, knows few people in Buffalo, attended asmall Presbyterian church, spent all of her years at schooland her vacations buriedina charming country home in Wyoming County, and yet to-day she is as great a social success as the most critical could hope for. It shows who shall say we are not proud of her? Everybody will be pleased to look on these different portraits of the White House mis- tress. They were taken by C. M. Bellof Wash- ington, who has his studio filled with national celebrities. He has fifteen or twenty negatives of Mra. Cleveland in good positions. Speaking of her the other day, Mr, Bell said: „ I never had a better sitter. She poses very easily and naturally, and tries her best to do her part. Ihave had to make very few sug- gestions in relation to her poses. She has been one of the easiest ladies to please I ever had come to my gallery. She is not at all fussy. She does not insist on having the neg- atives touched up in order to flatter her like sgme customers that I might mention.“ Mr. Bell is very happy over the great suc- rather be pretty than anything else. That Koes without saying. It is their right, and cess he has had in obtaining these portraits. A part of the photographs were taken at the White House, with the conservatory in the background, and part of them at the gallery, Most of the full lengths were taken at the gal- lery. The President was not present at any of the sittings, either at the White House or at the gallery. No one would eyer dream that Mrs, Cleve land is only 22. Her demeanor is that of a woman who has spent years in society. Take a little incident: Whenshe was leaving New York for Washington a few weeks ago the con- ductor of the car kindly came forward to help her up the step. He put out his hand to take her arm, and she quietly stepped back and let the possibilities of the American girl. And feels glad Mrs. Folsom precede her. It was a little thing, a very little thing, but the way it was done was the pleasing part. It showed that she knew her position and meant to have oth- ers respect it. It is the little things that re- veal character, and that quiet step back was stronger testimony than a year of talk. POISON FOR ALL. A Woman Who Poisoned Her Husband, Four children and Other Relatives. Boston, Mass., August 13.—Mrs. Sarah J. Robinson of West Somerville, three miles from Boston, is under arrest for attempting to poison herson. It is charged she has killed with poison her husband, three children and seven other persons. Thomas P. Smith, a married man 58 years old, who was a frequent visitor at her house, is aiso under arrest as an accomplice. The motive is found in the fact that all the dead people were insured. The physician who attended her son Wi'liam was not satisfied as to the cause of his iliness, aud procured au analysis of the contents of his stomach. Arsenic in large quautities was found. William died at 3 q’clock yester- day morning in convulsions. he arrests had been made previously. Smith is superin- tendent of a Sunday school at Hyde Park. He prayed ferveutly jor the yous man who was dying. William said: My mother and Mr. Smith poisoned me. I knew it at the time but thought 1 could be cured. Since 1 have been sick I have taken neither Tood nor medicine from any one else. Ali that I have had they have given me.’’ Mrs. Robinson and Mr. Smith were ar- raigned before Judge Story—a brother of the Deacon Story indicted for adultery on Par- son Downs’ evidence—and pleaded not guilty. Mrs. Robinson was very much ex- cited and protested ber innocence loudly. Ir is a well-known fact that 90 per cent of our city’s population have the Catarrh in some form.

C., August 13.—Robert L. Taylor of Tennessee is a candidate for Gov ernor of that State. He had been nominated and hopes to be elected. He is also United States Pension Agent at Knoxville. He has not been present at the State Convention, and tne dispatches indicate that his headquarters have been left in charge of his friends. The reason for his absence ig the recent order of the President forbidding federai officials from taking a conspicuous part in politics. What that order means, and how the Administra- tion intends to enforce it, may be learned from the following correspondence: UNITED STATES PENSION AGENCY, KNOXVILLE, Tenn., August 4, 1586.

My name has deen mentioned in that con- nection, but, obedient to the wish and re- quirement of the President, I have never ie{t my office a day, nor have I taken any active part for myseif in the campaign. Nevertheless, I feel confident I will be nom- inated. 1 desire to know if, in your judg- ment, it would be improper for me to go to Nashville to the convention. Iam not a dele- gate, but if Iam nominated I would like to be there. If it is in any way contrary to the wishes of the President Iwill not go. Please reply by telegraph, as I will have to start Mon‘ay, the och inst., if I go. The conven- tion meets onthe lith. Yours very truly, ROBERT L. TAYLOR. To this letter, Col. McLean, Acting Commis- sioner of Pensions, sent the following reply: In reply to your letter, Ihave the honor to intorm you that in pursuance tothe instruc- tions of the honorable, the Secretary of the Interior, itis better for you not to attend the nomivating convention.

NOW IS THE TIME TO — — — BEGINNING YOUNG. Two Infant Horse-Thieves Nearly Fright- ened to Death. Thomas Wiley, alittle negro not over two feet high, was arraigned before Judge Cady this morning on a charge of driving off a horse. He wore short pants, exposing his naked little black legs from the knee down. His head did not reach tothetop of the rail and he peeped at the Judge through the wire- screen work. Thomas, who is 10 years of age, lives with his parents at No. 1123 North Thirteenth street. He and another little ool - ored boy, Ed Williams, 7 years of age, living at No. 1107 North Tenth street, drove off a horse and buggy yesterday belonging to W. J. Beattie, the wood mantel manufacturer of 2011 Pine street. The rig was standing in front of the Simmons Hardware Company,and they got in it and drove it off. Neither knew much about driving, and as the horse was hungry, he walked up to Mr. Beattie’s factory, on Vine street, where he stopped. Of course the youthful horse - thieves were arrested and were locked up in the Four Courts. Ine little Williams boy was released, after being locked up about an nour, but young Wiley spent the nightinacell. This morning when arraigned Judge Cady, after frightening him until the boy was alinost white, let him go, informing him that it he was ever brought up again he would hang him. This action was taken at the request of Mr. Beattie. PHOS-FrRRONE is not sold in quart or long- neck bottles, but in half pints, with Adding ton’s Phos-Ferrone Iron Tonic’’ blown in the glass.

John H, Cawthorne, who arrived here yes- terday from DeSoto, Mo,, was betore Judge Cady this morning on a charge of falsely im- personating an officer. Annie Strackman and Mary Bell, two Poplar street women, were the prosecuting witnesses. Annie said that he visited their house last night and after being there awhile in- formed them that he was a police officer and ordered them to get their hats and accompany him tothe hoodlum box. He said he hada star, but could notshow it. The witness said: »I have been arrested too often by spotters for him to give me taffy of that sort.“ The defendant said he was very drunk and did not know what he had done. He was fined $10.

Pincin A MAINE WOMAN. With a Revolver She Puts a Highwayman 0 to Flight. ; From the Lewiston (Me.) Journal. of East Monmont lately been visiting her sister in — andisa woman perhaps 40 years old, of | fine physique, and, as recent events hare : — abundantly able to take care of herself. Mrs. Pincin tells the story of g recent attack upon her by a highway | robber while on her way from Augus:, At the time of the last payment of pep: sions in June, Mrs. Pincin started from | Monmouth and drove to Gardiner, Wherg | She left her team, took a freight train to Augusta, and bright and early in the day for so long a jaunt called atthe pen. sion office in Augusta for the money which was due her, about 0. “Are you not afraid that somebody will rob you?” asked the folks at home that morning before she started out. The road to Gardiner.» they had said, is long and dreary and full of dark places, and you are alone and n woman, and it is dangerous.“ But she had denied the danger, and declined t inconvenience any one else by the trip, Won't you take a revolver?’’ they the, begged her, and she again declined. Her father, however, went into ths house, took down the revolver, loaded it, and carrying it out to her, put it in a snug place under the wagon seat and told he; to use it if the occasion demanded. Mes. Pincin yielded to his desire that she take the revolver, although she hardly thought of it again until she stood by the desk in the Pension office counting her money. At this time she did think of it, for as sho lifted her head, her eyes met those of a man who had been greedily watching her as she counted it. She her pocket and watched the man as he turned on his heel and walked to another part of the office. She didn’t see him again in Augusta or on the train to Gard. iner. In Gardiner she found her team at the stable where she had left it and soon left for home. Mrs. Pincin drove along blithely enough until she had passed Spears’ Corner, when she heard a team coming behind her as if driven at full speed. She started her own horse a little, but the coming team was faster than herown. She looked around and at the first glance was startled, for she thought she recognized the lounger whom she had seen in the office at Augusta. She kept calmly on driving the horse in the middle of the road—the team every minute coming nearer. The place was secluded and well calculated for rob- bery if any one had that intention. The man in the team drove up so that his horse’s head lapped the wheel and then, turning toone side of the road, drove quickly by. When a rod ahead, he pulled up, jumped out, and grabbed her horse by the bridle, stopping her team at once. What do you want?” said the lady. ‘‘Twant the money,” was his reply. Fork it over.” Conversation was brief, for the lady was one of action. As the highwayman turned to look at his own horse and again to look at her, he suddenly noticed that he was looking into the muzzle of a cocked re- volver. There was no trembling in the hand that held it either. It was calm and steady asa clock, and the brute at the horse’s head saw that a bullet from it would end his days if the hand pulled the trigger. There was a look of resolution, too, in her face, for, as she expressed it, she was not frightened, only just mad all the way through.“ It was her trick, for she held the trump card, and the man was wise enough to see it, for with an oath he let his hand drop from the bridel and slouched into his own team. Now, sir.” said she, you turn toward Gardiner.” With the revolver still on him and cov- ing him at every movement, the resolute woman watched the man from the min- ute he dropped her bridle rein until he had turned the wagon and was a hundred ards back on the road on his way toward ardiner. Then she picked up the reins, tucked the revolver under the seat, and drove home to East Monmouth. Pugilistic Noblemen. From the Pall Mall Gazette. The late Marquis of Waterford, among numerous accomplishments, excelled as a boxer, and of his aptitude in this art he was justly proud. e never picked his men; he used to fight coal-heavers, dust- men, hodmen, fellowship porters, and others of that ilk, and then gave them a Bank of England plaister, and if he was ever caught napping and met a superior bruiser. great was his superior’s reward. But sometimes an insolent jarvey obtained all the thrashing and no reward, as th following anecdote will show: The Marquis on one occasion hailed a cab rather early in the morning, and di- rected the cabman to drive him to St. James’ square, the residence of his uncle, the Archbishop of Armagh. When he arrived at his destination he handed the cabman half a sovereign, but cabby, in the most insolent manner, demanded more. ‘‘All right,’’ said the Marquis, and, slipping in the house by means of a — he 8 donned his uncle’s episcopal robes and, returning to the door, quietly asked what the cabman re- quired. The jarvey, not recognizing the Marquis, and thinking to frighten the clerical swell, gave him some choice billingsgate, whereupon his lordship in his new character knocked cabby down. Amused at the idea of having to vps with a parson, cabby sprang up and went for his man in good style; but the sham prelate foiled every blow, and returned his deliveries with such vigor that at last the cabman, thor- oughly beaten, and believing that he had the devil in lawn sleeves for an opponent, jumped up on his cab and was glad to hook it.’ The Prince of Chatelherault isa bruiser of the Waterford stamp. Over and over again in the old days of Haymarket roy- stering he has been known to throvy off his coat and go for his man in true pigilistio fashion, and many tales are told of his Grace’s excellence in the art. With the exception, however, of me or two members of the Upper House, we thought boxing an accomplishment onz forgotten by the peerage, but the folloving anecdote will show otherwise: A few (ays ago a noble Earl, an apt pupil of a West End professor of boxing, had been dinug rather freely at one of the clubs, andas he passed along the Strand in evenig dress he came into collision with a swey just emerging from Drury Court, who, » steady himself, placed his sooty hands 9 his lordship’s irreproachably white shir front. To hitout at the sweep was th nobleman’s first impulse, and, landing @ chummy’s nasal organ, the carmine ale black were soon mingling. Nothing daunted, the swee 2 him- self together, and tried all he knew fo get on equal terms, but in a short time he was so battered and bruised that his pals from the Lane.“ who had now mustered strongly, came up, and it was a case of one down and the other come on. Stimu, lated, no doubt, by the bottle or two of port he had imbibed, his lordship knocked the pride of Drury Lane down one after the other like ninepins, calmly asking, like Fitzjames of erick Dhu’s band for one and all to come on. We don’t know how it might have fared with my lord had not a policeman arrived on the scene and d rsed the threatening crowd: while his lordship, feeling that he had earned a drink, sauntered into 4 tavern close at hand and partook of a modest quencher. Blue tissue dotted veils worn by Flora McFlimsey in traveling are no more be. comin 0 those of red. And the girl with the worse complexion is always afraid of ruining it.

HE REFUSES TO DISCUSS THE OFFER OF MR. LUCAS. Mr. Von der Ahe Calls a Meeting of the Board of Directors—Umpire J ohn J. Egan in Trouble—President Young on the Union —sporting News and Gossip. Up to the present time there are no new a velopments in the base ball situation, or there are they are kept most profoundly se- cret. The offer of Mr. Lucas to Erastus Wi- man of New York, to turn over the St. Louis Club entire for $22,000, is either now under consideration or the New Yorker is endeavoring to secure better terms. This can be readily judged by the following apecial dispatch from New york, in which Wiman beats around the bush when pressed with leading questions: By — to the PosT-DISPATCH. ; New YorRK, August 13.—Erastus W iman was geen to-day by A 1 who asked 1 yg see the Lucas franchise an players ha ee . offered to him by Mr. Schmelz for the sum o ») on mustn’t ask meanything about mee matter. 1 am not privileged to spea ut it. wig i i ’ eo you admit having received the offer?’’ “J neither admit nor deny it.

Mr. —..9 intimated by his manner that he had been offered the franchise, bht was under compact with parties unknown notto make the matter public. This is proof enough that Messrs. Wiman and Lucas are about to make a dicker of some kind, but the wires to be pulled by both are so many that speculation on the subject is use - less. On Saturday night Mr. Lucas assured, in the most unequivocal terms, his friends that he intended remaining in the League this year and ne dt and that he would not sell out under any conditions. How much he meant what he said any one can guess for him- self. Mr. Von der Ahe, like Mr. Lucas, denies in the strongest possible terms that he is negotiating or even thinking of going into the League. This morning he called a meeting or the Board of Directors of the Brown Stocking Club, to be held at the earliest possible date they can be brought to- gether. What the directors will consider when they come together, or whether the League or any newly submitted propositions are to be considered, of course itis impossible to say or to ascertain now. — — if you got satisfactory EGAN REGISTERS AGAIN. He Makes a Sorry Mess of It in His Own City. Poor little Johnnie Egan seems to have struck a snag when he joined the League staff ofumpires. Boston is all agog over his weak- ness in allowing Schmelz and Dunlap to bluff him into calling an unfinished game a tie. A correspondent at the Hub writes: „Moe have had some weird base ball umpir- ing on the Suuth End Grounds first and last, but of ull the decisions Jever saw or heard of, the one our own citizen, Johnnie Egan, made last Tuesday capped the climax. I have always been very conservative of the umpire ques- tion, and never jump on an umpire because he makes several decisions in a game which seem to be ail in favor of one side. If there is anything I hate to read in a base ball column itis that a club lost the game owing to the miserable umpiring. When anumpire is off in judgment on balls and strikes, it is about an even thing for the two sides, and if he makes what seem to be wrong decisions of close points, he does so honestly and it seems to me should not be pulled over the couls as he sometimes is. But when you und a manu who either don’t know the rules, or else has not the backhone to en- force them, he has missed his calling if he attempts to umpire ball games. Now that is just the case with our friend. Ile is like the boy who meant well enough but didn'’tknow any better. There was nevera more honest umpire than John Egan, but hon- esty is not everything in umpiring a ball game. You must have alittle determination and be able to withstand a little drubbing without allowing your aympetnies to get the best of your convictions. ‘ho ever beard of an um- pire calling an unfinished game before simply to accommodate a manager who wanted t> leave town onacertain train? That’s what Egan did, and when I think of it now it makes me mile. The absurdity of the thing must have convulsed the St. Louis play- ers when they got on the train that night. It wasabig bluff gameonthe part of Manager Schmelz and he worked ittoa charm. This is the way the thing came about: Nine innings had been played and the score was tied. Then — Dunlap and Manager Schmelz laid siege to Umpire Egan and requested that he call the game to enudbie them to take the 6 o’clock train for Philadelphia. Had it been a dark day with the prospect that another inning could not be played this request would have been some- what reasonabie, but as a matter of fact it was only 5430, and there was time for several inn- ings before dark. — Young on the Union, President Young has expressed himself as follows in regard to the recently formed base ball union: ‘‘Itseemsto be a move on the partof the most reputable men in the profes- sion to secure for themselves and associates fair and equitable treatment at the hands of those in authority over them, as well as to promote the general welfare of the sport. With such an object the organization is above criticism, and the fact that such men as John Ward, Jim O' Rourke, Ed Hanion and Dave Rowe are the prime movers in the scheme insures for it the respect and consid- eration of all who may be brought in contact with the workings of the institution, It can- not be claimed that players will be protected or countenanced in wrong doing. The names quoted are sufficient guarantee of that. The player who is justly fined for drunkenness or other misdemeanor will never appeal his case to that court. The broad and liberal treat- ment accorded the existing provisions of the League constitution and the practice of that association Il consider to be a most promisin feature, giving evidence of the good faith and commendable intention of the gentiemen who are at the head of the movement.“ _ — —— THE UMPIRE QUESTION. Serious Need of a Radical Change in the tules of the Game. Can nothing be done to check the growing tendency to quarrel with the decisions of the umpire in our national game of base ball? asks an Eastern writer. Freedom of speech is at all times desirable, but the spectacle of an umpire being hooted and howled at by the spectators aud escorted from the field bya score of policemen, in order to escape the violence of a mob, is not calculat that amount of respect either tor Gaeta dcdividuai in question or the game itself which is essential to its true enjoyment Assumin that the umpire does his best in an impartia manner (and inthe absence of any evidence to the contrary we ought to take that view) it seems clear to me, from the many mis- takes which are made, that the umpire has more duties to perform thanhe can accom- — Ine game is played with such rapid- ty and skill that questions requiring the de- Cision of the umpire are constantly arising aud these the umpire (who has had 40 have his eye on the pitcher, batsman, bail and the three bases at one and the same time) is expected to decide without a moment's hes- itation. To me it seems remarkable that he performs his duties so well, but if better re- * can be obtained they certainly ought to «„ and to that end I would suggest that two umpires be employed and the duties divided tween them. Even in cricket, which is prayed in a much more deliberate man. The two umpires are necessary, — r duties are well defined and can. Clash, and a man is not placed in o position to judge of something which it is du impossible for him to see. The result is that such scenes as are wtinessed on our base all grounds are utter! y unknown upon ae feld. Ido not pretend to say 2 — a ber the field two umpires should be — ut a verx little consideration by the re of our eat nines would decide dent, but ifthe suggestion offers any in, a se * clew to the solution ofthe present difficulty the base ball fraternity are welcome to it.

The visitors could make but 1. Gossip of the Game. For a ball player who was dead and buried old Petey Browning is showing up in a truly wonderful way. Ramsey, the Louisville pitcher, has an am- bition to become a great batter. If he tries he can become one. The Menard Reds defeated the Russell Av- enue Blues Wednesday, by a score of 18 to 12 at the Amateur Park. Chicago, Detroit and New York are exactly in the same position they were yesterday. All three won games on that day. The Carr Street Ball Club has organized and will play all young amateur teams. Their ad- dress is B. Meyer, No. 1624 Carr street. The Browns will play at home, off and on, through August and including September 1. They then go away to return September 25. If Barnie releases Kilroy, as he probably will, the Georgia pitcher will go to Louisville. Ram- sey and Kilroy would make a great pair of twirlers. The Louisville Club finds no difficulty in batting Terry freely. And yet Terry is con- sidered one of the speediest pitchers on the diamond. The Bowsers have organized with a strong team, and would be pleased to hear from the Wizards. Their address is H. Pettser, No. 2300 Cass avenue. Johnnie Ward of New York is not a graduate of Harvard as has been reported. Still John has an excellent college education and is quite an intellectual young man even fora college graduate. Judging by the way the New York team has been playing ballof late Anson will not be so ‘*blutfy’’ at the season's end. Messrs. Mutrie and Von der Ane can then make their longed for engagements.

Bishop Tuttle’s First Service in His New Diocese—Shamed by Centenary—A Coin- cidence in a Baptist Editer’s Life—Pulpit Points—Gospel Gossip. Bishop Tuttle, the newly elected head of the Episcopal Diocese of Missouri, will officiate for the first time in his new diocese at Christ Church, Sunday morning, September 5, and in the evening at Mount Calvary. Then he will go to St. Joseph for a brief stay. His family will not come on until about December 1. Some members of Centenary Church con- sider as a tribute to Dr. Tudor’s four years of bard and faithful work, the endeavor now being made by Union M. E. Church to secure the old T. M. C. A. at Eleventh and Locust streets. They say itis very plain that Centenary’s persistent down-town work (for ign’t Sixteenth street down town?) has made the churches ashamed of themselves for going out to the West End, and inspired them with a noble emulation which has resulted in Union Congregational Church, the Sixth Street Tabernacle, and now this design of Union Church on the old X. M. C. A. In regard to the Pope’s recent dull against cremation the Central Christian Advocate, Methodist organ, this week makes the signifi- cant remark that evident surprise is caused „partly because there does not seem to have been sufficient reason for the action.“ The Central Christian Advocate this week has this reminiscence, which will cause a quiet smile: ev. Chas. A. Dall, the first American Unitarian missionary to India, whose death we mentioned last week, was a man of marked zeal and of some eccentrici- ties. Among many anecdotes related of him is one which says that while residing inthe family of the Rev. Dr. Eliot, in St. Louis, one day the family had just taken seats at the din- ner table, when in rushed Mr. Dall, and, with the exclamation, The worst case yet!“ grabbed thé cut of roast lamb from the table and carried it to a family which was starving.“ Presiding Elder Corrington reports that his first quarterly round shows that the St. Louis M. E. District enjoys a good degree of pros- perity. He says: We have the best corps of ministers that can be found, being good preachers, efficient pastors and workers.’’ Special revival services have been held with good results, and several new church enter- rises have been started.

During the coming year Father Hoeffer of Milwaukee will be an instructor at the St. Louis University. The old orthodox idea that God hates the sin but not the sinner was hit a hard blow by Rev. S. M. Brown, acting editor of the Cen- tral Baptist, in last week's issue, when he suid: Actual sin must of necessity be con- crete, wrong doing in a person, or wrong dis- position in a person, siways in connection with a person. Now, since the wrong or ain isin aperson, or done by a person, and as the person isthe agent or perpetrator of the thing done, why should God hate the thing done and not the doer?’’ Rev. D. K. Campbell of Mason City, III., will preach in the Glasgow Avenue Presbyte- rian Church Sunday morning and evening. Rev. E. N. Barrett of Waterioo, lo., who has made such a good impression locally as to make a call look very probabie preaches Sun- day at the North Presbyterian Church. It is now quite generally understood in St. Peter’s Episcopal Church, both among the old vestry arid the Asshetonites,that Dr. Run- cie will withhold a final decision on St. Peter’s call until the Bishop comes and untangles the Arn. ’ Vicar-General Muehlsiepen is in Texas in connection with the new hospital projected for the Sisters of St. Mary's. They have one now on Papin street, but it is too small, and it is desired to erecta more commodious one which shali be devoted to invalids and injured rail- road employes, to which line of attention the Sisters are much accustomed. The German Vicar-General, who is Spiritual Director of the order, has taken this trip to Texas for the purpose of — some ideas from the prominent hospitals there, especially those tor the care of railroad men. Chancellor Vander Sanden, now summering at La Crosse, Wis., is reported slowly im- proving and his return in September is now considered certain. Since the return of the hot wave to St. Louis the past week it is not believed Archbishop Keurick will start from New York for home before the end of September. The German priests, Fathers Brinkhoff, Schrage and Lotz, are expected home from their European tour in September. Rev. Dr. Tudor has been invited to preach Sunday morning, September 5, at Springtield, III., where the converts made by the boy preacher, Rev. Thos.

By Telegraph to the Post-DISPATCH. NEW YORK, August 13.—Representative free traders from various States met at the head- quarters of the American Free Trade League, No. 39 Nassau street, yesterday afternoon, in pursuance with the call of the National Committee to de- cide upon a course of action for the fall cam- paign. David A. Wells, the President of the League, was chairman of the meeting, and among the half hundred present were Col. John J. Dargan of South Carolina; J. B. Sargent and A. W. Thomas of Connecti- cut; Benjamin Reese of Ohio; Wm. G. Brown- lee, Michigan; Lewis H. Blair and R. D. Dev- eraux Doyle of Virginia; William Dean ana William Gibbons of Delaware; F. W. Bleike of Illinois, and R. R. Bowker, Everett P. Wheeler, E. P. Doyle and J. S. Moore of New York. Letters of regret were received from prominent free traders in more than twenty States. The principal object of the meeting was to prepare an address calling for immediate and energetic action Dy allfree traders and reve- nue reformers inthe Congressional elections to be held this fall. This document, signed by the National Committee and other promi- nent free traders throughout the country, is to be widely circulated, anda united effort is to be made to fil the seats of the thirty-five protectionist Democratic Congressmen with strong free traders. The address takes the form of ten resolutions, which were vigo- rously debated and unanimously adopted, THE FIRST IS AS FOLLOWS: Resolved, That we honor and thank Presi- dent Cleveland tor his personal devotion to administrative reform,for his brave endeavors to regain for the people not holding office the control oftheir own political affairs and for his honest vetoes of private jobs and special legislation, and that we recognize as the most promising signs of the times the growing response among the body of the people, and we regret that so called friends of bis Ad- ministration, abusing his confidence, have been permitted to contradict its avowed principles in the use of appointmentstbrough- out Pennsylvania torepress the growth of the spirit of tariff reform in the covert or open defiance of civil-service reform, in the Indiana post-otlices, and elsewhere, and the seiection in a few instances in other places of unfit men for public office. Thanks were tendered to Socretasy Manning and to the Hon. M K. Morrison and his assocli- ates in the Ways and Means Committee for their efforts to fulfill the pledges of their party as well as to Messrs. Waketield, Strait and Nelson of Minnesota, and Jaines of New York. Revenue reformers within the Demo- cratic eg A in the districts repre- sented by the thirty-fiVe Democrats who conspired to defeat tariff reform are called upon to do their best to defeat or rebuke their candidates, even to the extent of electing open foes in their places. The immediate organization of revenue re- formers as a distinct political force is urged, and thatevery town and village form clubs which may influence existing parties or be- come the nucleus of a new partyin the early future. Free-trade Congressmen are asked to insist, during the short session, upon the con- sideration of separate and successive bills for the removal of taxes upon the materials which are the food of our great industries. DOUGHERTY’S STEAMBOAT. An Experiment Which is to Revolutionize Travel by Water. PITTSBURG, August 13.—An order for fron plates was given to one of our rolling-millis yesterday by John Dougherty of Mount Union, Pu., for use in an experiment which is ex- pected to revolutionize travel by water. The plates are to be used by Mr. Dougherty in con- structing the folding paddles for a patent rapid transit steamboat which he is about to be built on the Allegheny River. When com- pleted the Doat will make atrial trip to New Orleans to prove the practicability ofMr.Dough- erty’sidea. The boat which is to test the use- fulness of this patent is to be 33 feet wide, 165 feet long on the water line, and 176 or 180 on deck and will de built entirely of wood. Its weight without the engine will be about 66 tons and when it has on board the engine and 250 apsengers, its draftof water will be less than ixinches., On each side of it will be two toid- ing paddles sinking deeginto the water. The paddies will be open going forward so they will move the largest possible body of water, but the change to the backward motion will, by the agency of springs, close the paddies, and thus reduce the resistance to a minimum. There will also be under the center of the ves- sel, two propelling poles, which are intended to drive the vessel through shoal water by 2 the bottom of the river. Mr. Dough- erty calculates that this patent will so greatly increase the speed of the traffic on the river that he will be able to make the trip from Pittsburg to New Orieans and back in a week, the time now taken by the fastest boats to wake the round trip to Cincinnati. The present venture is made on a river, not because the inventor believes that folding paddles cannot be used on the ocean, but be- cause he wishes to make his first trial on waters tree trom waves. When he has ounce put his principle successfully into practice, he will set to work to apply it to ocean travel. He is confident that he will be abie to reduce the time occupied in crossing the Atlantic by the shortest route, that from southampton to Halifax, to twenty-four hours, and thas from New York to Calcutta to ten days.

NEW YORK, August 13.—Dr. Henry Mayers of East Branch, Delaware County, bas a story to tell of how he was treated at Coney Island last week. Dr. Mayers was spendinga few days in New York, and having heard a great deal of the famous summer resort in the full swing of the season, he took his young nephew down there from New York. ‘*We did the sights very carefully,’’ said Dr. Mayers yesterday. ‘‘There was not a show on the island that we did not patronize, We worshiped atthe shrine of fat women, lean boys. ponderous giants and obese-giantesses. We became weary of the monstrosities. At last we found ourselves outside alarge mu- seum, close to Paul Baur’s Hotel. According to the pictures displayed outside, this museum was more attractive than any we had seen. My nephew clamored for me totake him in. lam not too old to feel interested in such things. Itherefore paid 10 cents each admission and in we walked. As soon as we got inside we stared around us. There was absolutely nothing to be seen. Try where we would to find something for our money we could notsucceed. Suddenly a little man cams up to us. ‘Come in and see the art gallery,’ he said. ‘Oh,’ said my nephew delighted, ‘Il knew we should see something.’ The man took us into a little room and shut the door. There was another fellow in the apartment, seated ina chair. The only things we could see in the room were two little plaster heads. Our conductor took them up. ‘One of those heads is the model of a murderer’s head,’ he said shortly. Then after a pause, ‘sO IS THE OTHER.’ „Well,“ continued Dr. Mayers, ‘‘that piece of information didnot thrill us. Pres- ently the fellow in the chair asked to have his head examined phrenologically. Our con- ductor placed him in a chair aud told him his character. He asked if he should do the same for us. Weassented. He told us our charac- ters. They were both exactly the same, that istosay, highly satisfactory and he spent about one minute with each of us, ‘* ‘How much dol owe, Professor?’ said the first man. One dollar, said our conductor. I stared. One dollar for such tomfoolery. We were then inrormed that we also owed $1 each for the examination. I was furious. So was my nephew. I went tothe door. It was locked. Convinced that I could not leave without pay- ing, I threw down the $2. The man opened the door and out we walked, blind with rage. I walked straightto the Coney Island police headquarters. At firstthey did not want to do anything in the case. lseworethat if they did not I would see Inspector Byrnes, Iasked them to send an officer back with me to arrest the proprietor of the museum. They declined, but gave me a card with the word ‘Doyle’ on it. ‘Go back to the museum,’ said the Sergeant, ‘and present this card. You'll et your money back.’ My nephew and I re- urned tothe museum. We knocked at the door. ‘Have you got your tickets?’ askeda man inside. ‘I’ve got a ticket that’lldo just as well,’ Lanswered. The man opened the door and I presented Doyle's card. He turned as white asasheet. ‘What do you want?’ he said. I've been swindled,’ I shouted, ‘and you know it!’ He was terribly frightened and took us into a side room, Thenlasked for the money back. I said he could keep 50 cents for our examina- tion. Without a word he returned 51.50. ‘Doyle is a great friend of mine,’ he said, ‘and I do it for his sake, not for yours.’ I didn’t care whose sake he did it for, I got out andl think I've had enough of Coney Island for this season.’’ HAVE you tried a loaf of Vienna Model Ba- kery milk bread?

The union was the natural result of an affection with which the young man had struggied unsuccessfully for some time, He couldn't tubaue the flame, and so following the precepts of his depart- ment, he cut away all adjoining structure and confined his attentions to the one object. The hook and ladder tendency was also rather toward catching on. His comrade on the 4, Mr. Wm. Barnett, acted in an advisory ca- pacity, and Justice Taaife married the couple at his office. Mr. Miller is one of the most popular and efficient young men in the department. His constant attention to business was exemplified yesterday by his taking only an hour's leave of absence in which to have peewee the in- teresting ceremony.

The Coroner was notified to-day that Charles Davis, a colored barber living at Eighteenth and Morgan streets, had died from injuries re- ceived in an assault made on him on the 22d of June. On the afternoon of the date men- tioned Robert Dougherty, Frank Bash and Albert Burke, three colored boys about 17 years of age,were annoying Davis by throwing stones into his barber-shop. Davis finally came out to chastise them, and, the boys claim, he bad a knife in his hand. When he approached them Daugherty threw a stone at him fracturing his skull. Davis has been con- fined to his bed ever since until this morning when he died from the effects of his injuries. Dougherty and Bash were arrested atthe time and placed in jail on warrants charging them with assault to kill. When informed of Davis’ death this morning Dongherty seemed somewhat surprised, but claimed he had killed him in self-defence. He said that ill- feeling had been existing between Davis and the boys in the neighborhood for some time, the barber being down on them. On the afternoon in question a girl had thrown a tin can into Davis' barber shop, and Davis, who seemed to think that the boys had thrown the missile, came out at them with a Knife in his hand. He followed them and they ran, and Dougherty says that when the barber got very close to him, he was afruid he would cut him, and to save himself turned and threw astone at him, striking him in the head. He claims it was done purely in self- defense, and that Davis had been down on him for some time. Bash tells substantially the same story as Dougherty. Now that the man has died the police will probably also arrest Albert Burke us an accomplice to the murder. Dougherty says he was no more than two feet from Davis when he hit him with the stone, and claims that besides the knife in his hand the barber had a pistol sticking out of his hip pocket. Dougherty isa full-blooded negro, but Bash is a mulatto. As the weapon used, a stone, is not a deadly one in the eye of the law, it will only be a case of manslaughter, and as Bash is over 16 years of age and under 18 years, a yeur in jail is the most severe sentence that can be given him. There isa gap of two years in every boy's life, from 16 to 18 years of age, when he can com- mit any felony and be let off with a year in jail. Under 16 they go to the House of Refuge until they are 21 years of age and over 18 they can be sent to the penitentiary, but by an un- forturate gap left by the State Legislatures they can only be givenayear in jail for of- fenses committed between those ages.

A New Clew Discovered by the Police—A Neighbor Who Used Her Ears, This afternoon the bones and clothing found in the vault at No. 38388 Easton avenue were displayed at the Morgue for identification. The terrible stench has been abated with disinfec- tants to enable those acquainted with August Eutz to examine the clothing. Superintendent Ryan of the Morgue made an examination to. day. ‘‘There is no doubt, said Mr. Ryan, that it is a case of murder. The theory of accident is entirely out of the question. The pants are ripped from the bottoin to the fork, the pockets ure cut from the vest and pants, and the drawers were either cut or torn from the body. The waist- band shows this. It was a case of murder and rob- bery. How the murder was committed does notappear. The skullis intact, and that of ayoung man. None ot the bones are chipped or broken, which might be the case if the vic- tim had been shot or cut or beaten.’’ This afternoon the police obtained a new clew, which promises some definite revela- tions. It is said that one of the neighbors heard a conversation in which the vauit mystery was discussed, andin which one of the parties warned the other to Bay nothing about the discovery ofthe shoes. They are investigating the case still. GENTLEMEN’S gold watches, $30, $35, $40, $45, $50 to $150. E.

A NEW RESORT CAPTURING THE OVERFLOW OF NEWPORT SUMMER LIFE. Delightful Temperature, Splendid Swimming and Good Fishing—A Description of the Older and More Fashionable Resort’s Young Rival—Beautiful Villas. By Telegraph to the Post-DISPATCH. NEWPORT, R. I., August 13.—Although the Island of Aquldneck, on which lies fair New- port, is undoubtedly the chief gem among the circlet of islands that are found across the brow of old Neptune as he takes his quiet ease in Narragansett Bay, still its sister islands are not without their beauty and charm, like those of their elder and more beau- tiful sister—like them in kind, but less in degree. Hence they have been neglected till within about ten years. When a few of those men who walk about the world with their eyes open perceived that the island of Canonicut was not a place to be de- spised; that it had a climate much like New- port’s; that land was very cheap there, and that the overflow of Newport summer life was sureto fall upon the sister island sooner or later, they came, they saw, they bought. No colossal fortunes have been made on the island as yet, it is said, but land has trebled in price within three or four years, and shrewd speculators keep their opinions of future val- ues to themselves. THE ISLAND OF CANONICOUT, or ‘‘Quavnoquet,’’ was purchased of the In- dians in the year 1657, and belonged to the Rhode Island division of thelittie State, as opposed to that part called ‘‘Providence Plantation.’’ It was named after the Indian sachem Canonicus. Hatred of tyranny in general and of Massachusetts in purticular seems to have beenthe prevailing sentiment of this little colony from the earliest settie- ment. Nevertheless, the firstand only town founded in Canonicut was called Jamestown, after James II. For many years the little town slumbered and slept—in no measure disturbed by all the bother and com- motion going on in her near neighbor, New- port. But at last she could keep her ears shut nolonger, and had to wakeup and take her share in the summer doings of Narragansett Bay. Now a number of pretty cottages, in- creasing every year, are going up at James- town, while at the Dumplings many people of wealth have reared handsome villas, whence a view can be bad equal to the prospect from any but the most beautiful situations in New- port. In the neighboring hills stand the picturesque Villas of Mr. W. T. Richards and Mr. Schumaker, who comes from the Quaker City. Mr. Wharton’s house is gray, with a peculiar round, open cupola. Mr. Richards does not occupy his cot- tage this year, having left Canonicut be cause it was becoming so thickly inhabited. Amore utterly quiet and peaceful spot than this island would be hard to find. The very winds seem to blow more gently and re- spectfully as they pass over its tranquil sur- face. Roads have been built across the Duin- Plings sothat one can roam at will. Capt. Seftridge, United States Navy, has built a cot- tage, now just ready for occupancy, on the northern part of the Dumplings. This villais PAINTED IN BUFF, with a red roof or series of roofs, for itis broken up in the usual complex fashion in which modern roofs are ‘‘treated’’ and has an effect as of turrets In this vicinity is also Mr. Joseph Seward’s cottage, while Mr. Wistor Morris has builtalarge new house near the Neck and Mackerel Bay. From Jamestown the cottages are dotted all the way southward as far as the Dumplings. Mr. George Emmong ot St. Louis has builta new substantial cottage, finished with unpainted shingles and olive green trim- mings. Another new cottage close by has ust been completed for Mrs. Harriet Stevens. Ir. McLelland of Philadelphia has recently purchased Lieut. R. C. Devoy’s cottage, a pretty structure in the modern styie, un- painted with dark green and gray trimmings. Mr. Caswell has a large house near James- town Ferry, and a little higaer up stand three cottages belonging to the estate of the late Prof. Eustace of Cambridge, Mass., who was one of the first gentlemen to ‘‘discoy- er’’ Canonicut. Mr. Turnbull has a pretty new cottazgein the little settlement as has also Mr. Wetherell. Dr. Mott Francis’ cottage stands high on the hill and has a good sea view. A large and expensive cottage, said to have cost $40,000, belongs to a Mr. Nowland, anative of Jamestown, who owned several hundred acres there originally, mach of which he has now sold. Close by the ferry stand the two hotels. What do people do at Canonicut?’’ „Well, they live principally in and onthe water. It is a hopelessly amphibious spot, where one stays on land as little as possible. There is no beach, properly speaking—at least not near the inhabited part of the island —but despite the fact that the shore is rather Stony and despite the absence of all surf, bathing is A VERY FAVORITE OCCUPATION, and everyone learns to swim in the still, mild waters. Canonicut isa good place for fishing, too, although this year shing is very poor everywhere in the neighborhood of Newport. What with the seine and the enor- mous amount of menhaden that are caught every day, the more aristocraticand better flavored fish are bein scared from our harbors. The island igs en miles long and there are some pretty drives on it. One of these leads to Canonicut Park, a new settlement at the northern end of the island, where there is a hotel and several cottages. The Providence boat stops here every day, but for some reason the park does not grow as fast as Jamestown. It is much farther than Newport, and less convenient of access from that gay city. It is also much farther from the ocean, although it commands a fine view of the bay. Dr. Jernegar of Boston has just completed a large cottage at Canonicut Park, which can be seen lainly from the opposite shore of Rhode Isiand. From Jamestown a ferryboat runs quite fre- uently across the bay to Newport, making the short trip in balf an hour. It seems that the townspeople were thrifty enough to buy and run this boat, which belongs to the town and which has been the making of James town, as one of the chief men of the little place said.

The fierce wind storm here last evening did considerable damage. Trees were biown down, portions of the roofs of several frama dwellings carried away, and the superstruc ture of the bridge damaged slightly, but no enough to stop traffic or make it dangerous During the storm Byron Cayon of 2216 South Third street, St. Louis, who was over here with his wife and several friends fishing in one of the island sloughs near tiie Narrow-Gauge Railroad tracks, was struck hy a large limb which had been torn by the wind from a tree near by to where they were sitting. and his skull was fractured. He was taken to John Woods’ boarding-house and Dr. Wigving was sent for. When the doctor arrived he found that the shock had also paraiyzed Cayon’s right side. Supervisor Timun sent the injured man home this Morning in an am- bulance. Dennis Hicks, a rolling-mill man, was at tending to one of the rollers last evening when a piece of iron flew out and struck him on the left leg below the knee, inflicting an ugly and very painful wound. He was sent to his home in the First Ward. Mrs. Kate Hartnett swore out a warrant this morning charging her husband, Patrick Hartnett, with making an assault on her with adeadly weapon. The case was set tor Tues. day next and Hartnett placed under a 90 bond. Justice Bunyan is slightly incensed at Justice Shea because of the curious action of the latter to-day. Mrs. Kate Hartnett male the complaint against her husband before Justice Shea, and he made the warrant re- turnable to Justice Bunyan, an action without a precedent, and to which Squire Bunyan makes serious objections. Several days agoa man named John Powers died suddenly in Macoupin County and from papers found on him by the Coroner it was as. certained that he came from this city and be. longed to the local branch of the Irish Na. tional Land League.
