Some Inside Facts About the Lonsdale- Cameron Scandal—The serious Comedy in the Police Court—Lord Lonsdale’s Version of the Affair—A Sketch of the Career and Description of the Fair Burlesquer. LNs — 54 a 1 — 1 1 ‘ Violet Cameron. The serio-comic entertainment, with bur- lesque variations, which had its denouement in a London police court, and in which a noble Lord, a burlesque actress, and that unclassi- fied being, an actress’ husband, figured, is the talk oftwo continents. The scene is the New- castle-on-Tyne Police Court before Alderman Hamond, Milvain Porter and Mr. John Hall was chiefly interesting because of the actors concerned in it and the disclosures of the ad- ventures and babits of an aristocrat who con- descends to act as manager of the burlesque company. Every one will recognize the Lonsdale-Cam- eron scandal as the occurrence referred to. In the court were the three prineipals— Lord Lonsdale, Violet Cameron and David Deben- sande, the husband of the actress. The attorney for the complainant stated the case against the erring Lord. He said that Lonsdal¢ had become on intimate terms with Violet Cameron and had traveled with her on a provincial tour; that bis attentions to her had excited the jealousy of the husband. The company put up at the Turk’s Head in Newcastie, and the husband on Sunday night went to London to transact some busi- ness for his wife. He returned on Friday night, arriving in Newcastic about II o'clock at night. He went vp-stairs to the ‘*‘star’s’’ sitting-room, which was occupied by his } wife, but he found she*was not there, and he had waited ten minutes or a quarter of an hourinthe hotel when she came up-stairs into the room from the theater along with Lord Lonsdale. Mr. Debensande then made his way into the room and took his seat in an arm chair. Lord Lonsdale went toward a writing-desk, and a few minutes aiterward came to where complainant was sitting in the arm-chair, and without saying one word took hold of him by the collar and threw bim very heavily out of the room. His client fell and washurt. Hewent afterward and made a compisint"t a witness, whom he would call, and then he returned up-stairs. He be- lieved he was allowed to have a short inter- view with his wife, and soon after Lord Lons- dale committed another assault by shaking complainant violently by the collar. He aleo charged that Lonsdale had previousiy as- sauited him. The usual order of things was reversed in this case, as the husband was tearful and hysterical while the wife was cool and calm. The husband deciared that he hea surprised the couple in the room. Miss Cameron Gefenced her noble manager and declared that she had supported Debens- ande, and that he threatened to sheotand stop her. K The Aldermen decided that a case of assault bad been made out and apologetically fined his lordship forty shillings with the alternative of going to the House of Correction for a month. LORD LONSDALE’S VERSION. A cablegram gives the following version of the affairs from Lord Lonsdale: A reporter found Lord Lonsdale in the man- ager’sroom of the Manchester Theater this evening smoking his after-dinner cigar. When questioned in regard to his association witb Miss Violet Cameron, the actress, he at first declined to speak, but finally consented. His lordship said that he bad known Miss Cameron intimately for some years. Mr. David Debensande, her husband, he said, had come to him last April and begged him to as- sist him and Violet with their theatrical enter- prise, which they in- tended taking to the yrovinces and America. He finally agreed to give Violet £500. Mr. Debens ande, Lord Lonsdale said, forced his wife to surrender 300 of this money to him, which he squan- dered on himself. When Lord Lone dale called Mr. Debensande to an account he begged him not to take legal roceedings. Lord — says he anted the request, ut only on condition that Mr. Debensande should not be a partner in the company. ‘*‘Debensande, how- ever,’’ continued Lord Lonsdale, ‘‘was often drunk, and at such times would threaten his wife. He followed her even to the stage, and at times had to be expelled from the theater. He afterwards so frightened Miss Vio- let that she found it necessary to apply to the police for protec- tion. Mr. Debensande reviously asked me to — trustee for 51. xé wife and child. After 3 2 his drunken Cd come in a maudlin con — — dition to express his Lord Lonsdale. nitence and beg for forgiveness. Mr. bensande’s statement that I offered him £100 to square the matter is utterly . He is now going around jubilant at having a eer of the m fined 40 shillings. Even after e police court proceedings Debensande me to pay his hotel bili. I sbould never have assisted Miss Cameron’s theatrical quest. Debensande only wanted to live on his wife’s earni and pawn her jewetry. He shall continue acti as Miss P her busi- Miss Cameron highly as an old friend, and I totally deny the of adultery. There is not the test ground for the charge. I to mean the lady while this trouble lasts, l any one with manly feeling would do. SKETCH OF THE FAIR BURLESQTER. Howard Paul thus describes and sketches ary she demands, and hence the visit to Amer- ica. When actors find England no longer up to the financial mark they turn their attention to this favored land. Just then it got about that Violet had madea mesalliance. A dark young man with a brilliant mustache appeared upon the scene Who represented himself as related to a foreign prince. He escorted her to sweet little suppers (mamma went, too), gave her braeelets and rich jewels, bom- barded her from a private box nightly with expensive flowers, in due course proposed and was accepted. Then came a ruction. It was the old, old story. The dark dung man had spentall his cash and turned out to be in nowise the cousin of a foreign rincé. Ill-natured people went to the enzth of hinting that he had been a waiter at a foreign cafe, and one of the lady's swell ad- mirers swore point blank he had been served witha demi tasse at Bucharest by the swarthy husband of the prima donna. Violet violently rebelied her mother, who is eonsidered the most ‘‘downy’’ and knowing of theatrical mothers, had a prolonged attack of acute hysteria, and all around there was much wailing and gnashing of teeth. Then Lord Lonsdale turned up again. He had been a former and persistent admirer, but Violet listened not to the voice of the charmer, for had she not made up her mind to a brilliant marriage? The ord’s opportunity bad arrived. He promptly sympathized with the deceived artist and advised her to ‘‘shake’’ her unworthy spouse, who had shown himself a cur and a rascal. Mamima cordially concurred in this new deal, and it was finally settled, to give a business air to matters, that his lordship should run“ the show, whicb he is now doing, acting as treas- urer and looking after the ‘‘front of the house,’’ asthe actor locution goes. And so matters stand, and I suppose Lonsdale will ac- — the troupe over here unless the hus- band, who, it seems from the Newcastle police report, is on tue wat path, does not murder the lord in the meantime. This will assured- lyhappen unless Lonsdaliehandsomely pensions him off. That dark young man invested heavi- ly during his courtship, and he is not to be choked off without reasonable compensation. A BULLET STOPPED HIM. —ä f —7 A White Kobber Shot and Killed While Trying to Escape. By Telegraph to the Post-Dispatcw. POPLAR BLUFF, August 17.—Early yesterday a white man and negro applied for food to a hermit-like Frenchman named Currie, who lives north of here. Their request was com- plied with, and they apparently took their de- parture. Mr. Currie soon leit for town with a load of melons, when they returned and robbed the house of cash and jewelry valued at $60. On his return home Currie discovered his loss and immediately returned to town and notined the omicers. Sheriff Turner and a posse started in — They overtook them at Hendrickson, Mo., and Deputy Sheriff J. W. Walters was told to bold the white man, who made a break for liberty. Walters called to the fugitive twice but to no effect. He then fired twice in the air and failed to stop his man. He fired once at him, killin him instantly. Allthe money was recovere save 40 cents. The negro says he does not know the dead man, and ciaims that he watched inthe road while the other robbed the house, and that they have robbed several houses before. He isin jail here. An inquest was held over the dead and a verdict ren- dered in accordance with the facts. A WILD WEST TRAGEDY. Two Men Killed by the Man Whose Ranch They Jumped. DENVER, Colo., August 17.—An Aspen spe- cial to the News: A double assassination was committed near this place yesterday evening. Jan Fenton had jumped the ranch of Harry Burrows, thirteen miles from here, and em- ployed Michael Ryan to work for him, and yesterday morning they began cutting hay. Burrows warned the men not to cut bay as he would not permit them to finish work. Fenton laughed at Burrows who turned and went away. Inabout an hour, Fenton and tyan, who had continued their work, were shot in the back, the former through the spine and abdomen. Before dying the men made ante-mortem statement, ciaiming that Burrows and Doc White did the killing. White has been arrested. At last account Burrows was still at large with vigilantes in pursuit, who will probably lynch him if they succeed in effecting his capture. YOUNG YANKED IN, A Physician Fined and Jailed for Antago- nizing a Reunion. Fr. WAYNE, Ind., August 17.—Quite a ripple of excitement bas been caused here by Judge Sinclair of the Superior Court fining Dr. J. W. Young, a prominent physician of this city, $25 yesterday and sentencing him to ten days in jail for contempt of court. Young has been antagonizing the committee of the Tri-State Veteran Association regarding the approach- ing reunion to be held here. Extensive ad- vertising has been done by the committee, and Young has distributed throughout Northern Ohio and Indiana dodg- ers, claiming, as an official of the association, that there will be no reunſon, ana that the prominent generals and others ad- vertised to bein attendance would not come. The committee, through the Superior Court, had a restraining order issued which was ignored by Young, and this caused the fine and sentence. The committee also circulated posters advertising Young as a forger, con- vict and fraud, for which Young has com- menced suit for criminal libel. The reunies will be over before Young’s term expires. DEMENTED DAVIDSON. The Excitement Caused by a Deranged Young Maa. Lina Davidson, a young man, who is sup- posed to be demented, was the cause of con- siderable disturbance last night inthe neigh- borhood of Clark avenue and Leflingwell. He took a violent dislike for several littie chilaren inthe neighborhood, particularly to Hattie Simmons, 43-year-old daughter of Dr. Chas. F. Simmons of 2612 Clark avenue. Yesterday evening he gave chase to the above named little girl's brother, Harry, and when the littie fellow took refuge in the rear of bis father’s medicine factory Davidson stood guard at the door with a22-calibre revoiver and kept the boy a prisoner untilthe arrival of Dr. Simmons about two hours later. The doctor endeavored to compel Davidson to go away, but the latter struck him and then knocked the boy down with alump of bard clay. Dr. Simmons th went after Officer Powers, but Davidson afterwards relessed on father send him to an asylum this Suspicions of Foul Play.

The Candidates Also on the Ground Canvassing Their Strength. Estimates Made by the Candidates for the Supreme Judgeship—MoGrew Reported in the Lead for Railroad Commissioner --Ex-Gov. Phelps Suggested for Tem- porary Chairman—Rotunda Gossip. There is sufficient high grade Democratic statesmanship floating around loose at the down town hotels to-day with which to start a whole nation of solons. The arrivals of delegates this morning were very heavy. All of the twenty or thirty candidates for Railroad Commissioner, the four candidates for Supreme Judge and three candidates for Superintendent of Public In- struction are on the ground, and have opened headquarters after the good old Democratic fashion at the leading hotels. The interest of the convention centers in the Supreme Judgeship contest. Thethree lead- ing candidates, Judge Henry, Judge Martin and Theo. Brace have all published estimates of their strength and in each case the particular candidate has claimed something like 100 in excess of the number allowed him by his opponents. At present even those best posted on the situation are all at sea as to the probable outcome. The impression is rapidly gaining ground that Judge Brace is much stronger than was at first supposed, and in the combinations formed around the hoteis to-day his chances were generally adinitted to bethe best. Next to Brace Martin appears to be a big favorite with the talking delegates; but it must be remembered that Henry's large St. Louis vote is not very well represented in the hotel conversations, which fact places the Judge somewhat ata disadvantage. To a PosT-DISPATCH reporter this morning Judge Henry said: ‘‘Since yesterday I have gained the vote of Greene County, which is about the only important change that [know of. I have reliable information to the effect that Platt, Buchanan and several of the big northwestern counties will also come to me eventually. With regard to my chances of success all that I can say is that I place my trust in Providence aud the good sense of the people of the State of Mis- souri. Ever since 1 announced myself a candidate Ihave had a presentiment that I would be successful. Of course that is some- thing which I cannot very well explain, but I have a strong feeling that way nevertheless Judge, how do yorexplain the attack made on you by Henry Ewing in the Jefferson City Tribune?’’ Oh, pshaw! allof the Ewings are down on me, and even Cockrell has no particular love for me. The animus of the article ia easily accounted for by the factthat together with Judge Black I voted against Ewing for Clerk of the Supreme Court. But I don’t mind little flea-bites of that kind. The Ewings can’t burt me with the good Democrats of the State. I have made my record—] am not ashamed of it. GOV. MARMADUKE., In connection. with thestatements which have been printed and madé ia private con- versation tothe effect that Gov. Marmaduke and the State Administration were oppos- ing Judge Henry’s nomination and were exerting their influence in favor of Judge Martin of this city, Gen. Johnson, who came down from Jefferson City last night, informed a Post-DISPATCH reporter that they were ut- terly without foundation and lies out of whole cloth. 21 had 4 conversation with the Governor upon this very subject just previous to my leaving the State capital and I wish to em- — ey deny upon the authority of Gov. larmaduke, all stories, rumors, reports and statements that GOV. Marmaduke has interfered in any manner in the Supreme Judgeship or any other judicial con- test now going on. Neither has he written any letters on the subject, nor has he said a word to any person with the intention of influencing votes for or against any candi- date. The Governor admits that personally he is favorably inclined towards Judge Mar- tin, but that is Marmaduke's feeling as a man and citizen and not as Governor of the State of Missouri. Justto show you how little truth there is in the rumors that the State Adminis- tration is solid for Martin, let metell you that Harbor Commissioner Kochtitsky and myselfare strong Henry men. Vincent and Lesiie Marmaduke, the Governor’s brothers, are both ofthem opposed to Martin and in favor of Henry. The Governor regrets, ex- ceedingly, haying been mentione in this connection, and is worried over the fact that any person should think him so unmindful of his true position and proper duties as Chief Executive of the State as to indulge in any expression upon the subject or to assume the stand in the matter with which he has been charged. THE MARTIN VIEW. The morning levee at Judge Alex. Martin’s rooms was well attended by crowds of the Judge's friends and supporters, all of whom took a cheerful view of the situation, and filled the Judge brimful of encouragement. The Judge himself said that in bis opinion he was gaining strength hourly and felt the nomina- tion all but in his grasp. Mr. Frank P. Blair, who is managing the country end of the Mar- tin campaign, stated that several counties ag- eregating twenty votes had deen se- cured for Martin since yesterday. Blair wants to wagereven money that Martin will come within fifty votes of the nomination on the first ballot. Ed. Silver, who heads the Cole county delegation, is equally as confident in his assertions regarding Martin's strength. In fact, all of the Mar- tin men parade around with an air of confidence, which speaks volumes for their ‘‘inside information,’’ and which freightens the friends of the rival candidates not a little. 4 JUDGE BRACE thinks that the habit, common to candidates, of estimating their chances in a manner very favorable to themselves prevails ina greatly exaggerated form among the candidates who will come before the convention. The old Blaine motto of ‘‘claim everything’’ appears to be the guide of a majority of the gentlemen inthe race. The Judge is of the opinion that on the distribution of votes the convention has a number of unpleasant surprises in store for them all. —— THE RAILROAD COMMISSIONERSHIP. Maj. McGrew Has Strong Hopes—Chances for Other Candidates. Gen. Joe Shelby arrived here yesterday, and has been putting ina good word at every opportunity for Maj. McGrew ot Lexington, candidate for Railroad Com- missioner. The General is popular with the State Democracy and his influence wil doubtless be a very potent factor in the con- test. We are all at Present, said Maj. a POST-DISPATCH reporter this morning. me — deal of interest attaches to the race for Supreme Judge, and until that contest is decided even the best posted politicians in the State can express no intellizent opinion on the ances of the various candi- dates for Railroad Commissioner. A tew weeks ago I honestly thought that I would into the convention with the largest vote for the Commissionership, now wever, it is a daifficult matter to * fest where any of us do stand. he locali for which the Supreme Jud is selected willgo along ways in determining the names 2 — nominees for the other places on the cket.’’ On the * of rallroad discrimination . MoGrew en the privaleges allowed them by law, but be- — that the law in all cases should be strictly enforced without favor. cGrew, Hatton and Deatherage are the most prominent can- didates for the Commissionersbip, but from the present outlook they are likely to be beaten by any one of adozen or more dark horses, who are huddled together in one corner of the fiel d. HON. JOHN L. THERAGE of Carroliton arrived in Me city this morning. Mr. overage was a candidate before the last Convention for — commissioner, but was defeated. He has a very extensive acquaintance in the State and also in thiscity. Mr. Deatherage is a small man, and several times a grand- father. When asked to-day concerning his chances he said: I haven't kept acount by delegates, but I expect to get about 125 votes on the first ballot. I may get as high as 150, but I estimate my strength at nearly 125. There is no telling what will hap- pen in the succeeding bailots. There is no articular issue in the race for this office. No Prohibition views cut any figure. It’s a matter of choice between the men. A CARD FROM MR. KENNEDY. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch: In your issue of 18th appeared extracts from a bill of exceptions in ä case in which I was a party inthe Greene County Circuit Court, May term, 1876, to the effect that my testi- mony was conflicting. Ihave no time nor you space, to enter into the details, butl refer you to ex-Gov. Wm. 8. Phelps, Hon. Wm. O'Day, Maj. Jesse C. Cravens, and the entire delegation from Greene County and Southwest Missouri as to its reliabil- ity. The charge, coming on the eve of the State Convention to which my name will be presented forthe nomination for railroad commissioner, is forthe palpable purpose of injuring me. I thank you for the favor of per- mitting me this brief denial, prone here- after to refute the charge in full. D. C. KENNEDY. 0 AN OFFICIAL ESTIMATE, The Exact Strength of the Different Candi- dates Shown. Maj.

The State Central Committee. The prospects of a fight on the State Central Committee are rapidly diminishing as the date of the convention ap- proaches. In. a conversation with a Posr-Disraron reporter this morning Chair- man Shields stated that the tenure of the committee was for four years under the call issued for its election, but that the State Convention, being a sovereign body, had the authority to — the committee out of existence at any time. In acopy ofthe call for the election of the committee the following words occur: A State Central Committee to serve for four years next succeeding said convention and until their successors are elected. Gov. Phelps for Chairman, At noon to-day the State Committee met in parlor 22, Lindell Hotel. The principat busi- ness before the committee was the selection of temporary chairman for to morrow’s convention. The noon session WAS, however, consumed in a conference with the reception committee which reported everything in readiness for the ball. A recess was taken at 1 o’clock until 5 p. m. Had a selee- tion been made at this morning’s session for temporary chairman ex-Gov. Phelps would undoubtedly have been the choice. There is no particular reason why any change should be made during the day. There is, accordingly, no doubt that he will be chosen. The order of business will also be arranged at this afternoon’s session. The Excursion. The steamer Chas. P. Chouteau, which has been chartered by the Citizens’ Entertain ment Committee forthe delegates, will leave the whartat3o’clock to-morrow afternoon, headed up stream as far asthe Water-works.

SOLDIERS OF THE LATE WAR OFFER THEIR SERVICES TO TEXAS. ——ů— Senor Romero, the Mexican Minister, Denies Having Misrepresented the Cutting Case ~The Situation at Eli Paso—Federal Troops Arriving Daily in Chihuahua. New Tonk, August 17.—The war fever is rapidly spreading in this city as wellas in the country, and the Texas Emigration Committee receives dispatches from various places an- nouncing that regiments are to be organized and kept in readiness to move if war is actual- ly declared. The enthusiasts here now have their headquarters at No. 17 Center street, in the rear of Syckles’ bar-room. On the wall above the desk at which the military dispatches are written, hang the stars and stripes, a battle torn flag that has seen service in the fleld and has flaunted on the breezes of icy Green- land. There was a notable gathering of ex- mititary men inthe room yesterday, and the smoke from their cigars and pipes filled the room from floor to ceiling. Colonels were as plentiful as bees on a honeycomb, and majors and captains sufficient to command half the army of the State crowded to the desk and volunteered their services. Enthusiasm and patriotism ran as high as the foam on the beer lasses which a corpulent bartender was usy passing around. Col. Lewis Pike, A long-haired man tro Texas, was in charge of the military prepara- tions and with his corps of colonels, majors and captain discussed the best mode of pro- cedure. After wasting a pad ortwo of West- ern Union telegraph blanks, they decided upon the following message to Gov. Ireland: In anticipation of trouble between Mexico and the United States, the undersigned, mem- bers of a committee, appointed ata meeting held by veterans of the late war, and the last war with Mexico, offer you our sympathy, and if, n your discretion, you deem it neces- sary to accept our services, they are at your command.

Legal talent was not at all scarce, Judge James J. McBride being present to look after the inter- ests. of Doepke, one of the parties arrested in connection with the af- of our own regular fair, and- ex-Gov. Johnson and Judge dond in prices for ap Davis being there as representatives of Mas- “age gerangand wife. When the jury had been worn in and all other necessary prelimina- Hes gone through it was 11:30 o' clock, and there was then quite a crowd gathered in the office. Mrs. Madelina Huber was the first witness called. She testified that she lived in the rear of 3838 Easton avenue; had lived there nearly three years and was acquainted with the Mas- gerangs. “Do you remember a conversation with Mrs. Masserang about two weeks before hing day; and that we Christmas?’’ asked the Coroner. ‘ait ; i ‘‘Ido,’’ was the reply, and when 2 m been shown in this relate it Mrs. Huber said that Mrs. Massering y those who have been had told her a man came into Massering's j t and was very drunk. 8 Upon during Our last saloon that nigh an gat down in a chair and her husband ordered t. and as many of these he inducements offered him to go and called him a —— — ——. THE MAN FELL FROM THE CHAIR as though dead. They were aiarmed but did not want to have the man arrested, sothey dragged nim out into the yard and left him near the vault. When asked by the witness why they had carried him so far, Mrs. Masse- rang said they wanted to put him back where no one could see him. When told that if the man was so drunk that he was in danger if he got up during the night of falling into the vault, Mrs. Masserang said: ‘‘No;he wouldn’t fall in the vault.’ } he said he was a handsome 1 man, with dark hair and mus- tache, and remarked that it was strange -.. .

Exports last week from the principal At- lantic parts were 2,444,200 bu wheat, 202,200 bbis flour, and 517,400 bu corn, against 1,504,000 bu wheat, 174,200 bbls flour and 676,200 bu corn. Chicago made a mistake in her visible sup- ly figures on wheat, and they should be 450,- bu less than those announced.——An ex- change says: ‘‘It isa curious lard market. There is a disparity between the price for Sep- tember an that for October which would seem to indicate a short inter- est, but it is claimed that the clique is shipping large quantities to foreign markets ostensi- bly in fillinga foreign demand, but really on consignment. A leading firm of brokers cabled to the other side on Saturday not to be in a hurry to buy, as they would get all the lard they wanted on consignment.’’——G. K. Clark, Jr., New York, wired Cole Bros.: London steady; Continent buying forward futures, Liverpool 1 to 1½ pence dearer. Antwerp firm; weather unseasonable. Paris firm, erop reports unfavorable.’’——New York’s re- port on the visible supply shows an increase of 1,714,000 buin wheat, 1,268,000 bu in corn and 620,000 bu in oats.——The mistake Chicago discovered in her report was made in the g- ures of her own stock in store. As this mis- take was also telegraphed New York, the lat- ter’s report undoubtedly contains the samg error and should be 430, 000 bu less than the figures given. Imports into the United Kingdom of flour and wheat last week were equal to 2,097,500 bu, against 3,600,000 bu the week before.——The last week's imports of flour and wheat added tothe deliveries of home-grown wheat for some time were 843,000 bu smaller than the estimated weekly consumption of the United Kingdom, so that their supplies wer increased that muckh.—Duluth wired Fath-Ewald: ‘‘Fourteen grain carriers in harbor. Every one chartered for me. The only loading to-day 20,000 bu wheat on regular boat. A large fleet on lakes bound here nearly all chartered tor ore. Looks as though ore men had made a grand scoop of tonnage. Indications are receipts will increase instead of decrease, as heretofore. Freights here about li&c over Chicago with storage there ec less, making the difference in freight and storage 1%c against us. The situation here in itself is of no great strength, as we will follow other markets.“ It is stated that in September fully 750,000 bu corn will be delivered in this market on contracts.—Late yesterday sixteen more loads wheat were taken in New York for export, but to-day up to 1 o’clock only fifteen loads, but this falling off was said to be due to the stiffness with which cash was held.——The first castor beans of the season came in to-day to the R. B. Brown Oil Company. Wheat is undeniably in a good, strong posi- tion, and to a disinterested observer there re- ally seems to be but one side to work on, and that is the bull side. The English cables that came in this morning were the best that have been received for a long time past. They reported a good demand of 1@3d advance, with strong markets, The weather in England was cold, wet and unfavorable, which read badly coming on top the Mark Lane Ex- press’ review for last week. That paper stated, ‘‘Unsettled weather has retarded har- vesting, which will now be very late. Wheat has rusted and mildewed to an extent greatly affecting the quality, and every- thing oints to a deficient wheat crop. english wheat is firmer and prices are against buyers.’’ Yesterday it quoted English wheat 1 shilling and foreign wheat 6d dearer. That Europe wants our wheat is shown by the late heavy export, purcbases made at the Atlan- tic ports, and this morning’s bids from the Continent were lc higher than yes- terday, while cables from all the markets on the other side heard from were strong. Exports last week from the Atlantico seaboard of flour and wheat were equal to 3,354,100 bu, against 2.587, 900 on the week before, which also attests how excel- lent this European demand is, This news from e’er the Bea caused a scramble to buy in the markets of this country that advanced them early in the morning. The home market sold up e, and had pretty free buyers. Receipts here were smaller and considerably less than to-day a year ago. The feeling was bullish, some of the old-time bears having turned to the long side. A decline in Chicago, where their leading traders—Cudahy, Ream et al.—are largely short and trying their best to hold the market down, weak- ened prices here a little, but recovered stiffly on the smaller imports into the United King- dom. Late came another relapse, the report on export purchases not coming up to the trade’s expectations, and the close was the same as yesterday’s. August sold early at 78580 and at close worth 78u e; September at 800 to 70886, closing at latter; October at 820 to SIM, closing at 81%c; November at 8888 to 883 ½ o; May at 9395 to 938gc. Spot grades were higher, No. 2 red selling at le advance. No. 2 red, 785:@78%c; No. 3 red, 73@738%c: No. 4, 704%@70lec this side, 71e bid E. side; No. 2, Mediterranean, 77c asked; No. 3 do, 72\e bid. Corn jumped around within a rather small range. Even when Chicago was at its weakest, and that market declined considerably at one time, prices at this point held up comparatively well and, do all they could, the bears could not break the market. For one thing the demand easily got away with all the offerings, and though the bears made a great deal of noise and bluster they did not sell very much. The heavy increase in the visible sup- ply wasa bear argument, as was the way re- ceipts are coming in, but there is still too much uneasiness felt over the crop prospects for free selling to be indulged in; yet reports from the crop are not near so bad now as they have been, and from the way the country is selling its cash the situation is not near so grave as it was. September closed ec olf, as there was more pressure to sell that month through fears of large deliveries on the first, while October and Novem- ber closed the same as yester- day.

THe announcement that the present revolution in Mexico is dying out is equiva- lent to announcing that another revolu- @ tion is about to begin. Tn State Convention could very proper- ly pass a resolution requesting the Presi- dent to extend the jurisdiction of the civil service law to the State of Missouri. — — ¢ — - WE risk nothing in saying that there is nothing in the policy of civil-service re- form as it is carried out by President CLEVELAND which could be distasteful to the Democracy of Missouri. — — — A CONVENTION that nominatcs a State Railroad Commissioner should not ad- journ without a plain and loud expression of opinion on the question of enforcing the railroad provisions of the Constitution. — Oe A CONTEMPORARY declares that ‘‘Mr. BAYARD seems to have this great nation on a dead run toward Canossa.’’ This is the first intimation that the Pope is con- cerned in the settlement of the Cutting affair. — — — — A Goop deal is now written about the special delivery system.“ St. Louis seems to have a special delivery system in which the Custom-house elevator is strangely in- volved, and which is run with special reference to the delivery of confidential letters. — —— — Ir is reported from Washington that Secretary BaYARD is very sensitive over newspaper criticisms of his course in deal- ing with Mexico. If Mr. BayaRrp is ad- dicted to the habit of reading newspapers it is not probable that he is enjoying him- self at present. — — . — — THE international correspondence in reference to CUTTING is depriving Mr. BayaRD of his summer holiday. Perhaps the Secretary of State is allowing CUTTING to languish in jail in order to punish him for stirring up a diplomatic wrangle at an unseasonable time. — — . — — Ir is astonishing that bright Republican correspondents should scour the South in all directions, diligently interview the negroes, and still hear never a word about the Freedmen’s Bank or the old forty- acres-aud-a-mule confidence game. It is suspected that these interviews are very ably and carefully edited before they are printed. Tu delimitation of the Afghan frontier progresses like the weaving of Penelope’s web. The work is not finished, and the English Commissioners have been with- drawn. Perhaps this is a faint sign of the vigorous foreign policy to be inaugurated by the Tory ministry, partly for the pur- poseof diverting attention from domestic troubles and disorders. _— 9 . WITHOUT any change in the tariff the price of steel rails went down from $80 to $27 per ton and was recently marked up to $35 before that meeting was held at Long Branch last week to consider a still further advance. Can the protection which permits and does not prevent such extreme fluctuations be wholesome for any line of business or for the country at large? 1 — 99 THERE are many varieties of corn in this country, but a cartoonist in Puck draws a picture of a kind that is alto- gether new. The cartoon represents CLEVELAND as shooting crows in the na- tional cornfield, in which the ears grow on the tops of the stalks. This is worthy to rank with the celebrated Western variety, which produces hollow stalks filled with shelled corn. A cartoonist who has spent his whole life in a big city may not know what a field of standing corn looks like; and for this reason a summer trip into the rural districts is recommended to every artist who intends to picture scenes from country life. —— D> Tux Irish National League begins its convention in Chicago to-day. It isa meeting that will be watched with interest by the civilized world because it is pro- posed to formulate a definite plan of action for the Irish everywhere in con- ducting the great etruggle for the larger freedom and better government of Ire- land. United action will prepare the way for definite results and final triumph. At present there are two hostile factions in the National League. One of these, led and inspired by Patrick Forp, ‘ERTY and other extremists, favors the desperate policy of revenge and \dynalnite. The opportunist element, which ‘= the views of PARNELL and MICHAEL Dav- ITT, seeks to confine the inherited strug- gle for Irish rights within the bounds of constitutional agitation and lawful pro- cedure. It is clear to the unbiased mind that the latter course is the only one that promises substantial results. A policy in- spired and directed by the sentiment of revenge is too much like madness to ad- yance the cause of an oppressed people. It will be the work of the Chicago conven- tion to choose between these two policies and to secure more united action for the future. The cause of Ireland is also the cause of the millions of Irish people scat- tered over the face of the earth: and they will abate no effort in the work of active help and sympatby till the great struggle is crowned with success. CONVENTION AND CONSTITUTION. The Democratic press has had so much to say for and against the submission of a Prohibition amendment to the people that some expression on the subject is, of course, to be expected from the Demo- cratic State Convention. It is, therefore, in order to suggest that there are two points on which the con- vention should define its policy with reference to the State Constitution, to- wit: (1) The right of the people to be afforded opportunities for amending that Constitution by adding to or taking from its provisions, and (2) the right of the people to have that Constitution enforced as adopted by the people, especially all of the twenty-four sections of article 12, in regard to corporations. For ten years we have seen the most important sections of that article not only evaded but openly and defiantly violated by the railroads, and if either State offl- cers or Legislature ever made any attempt to enforce obedience, such attempt failed too conspicuously to be considered a serious or bona fide effort. The convention will stultify itself if it mentions any proposed amend- ment or mentions the Constitution at all, and bas nothing to say about enforcing its notoriously evaded and violated mandates. It matters not what the Constitution is, or what else is done to it, if its provisions can be suspended or nullified by Mr. GOULD or by any aggregation of money or influence. Astothe Prohibition amendment, the arguments against its adoption are so nu- merous and so strong that wo expect from the convention a practically unanimous declaration against such adoption. But the danger arising from this very unanimity is that the convention will in- dorse the arguments against adoption as equally valid against submission, which will be a manifest departure from the old- fashioned Democratic doctrines and from the time-honored Democratic. policy of trusting the people. On this point we commend to the convention the following explanation given by ex-United States Senator WILLIAM A. WALLACE, one of the most distinguished Democratic leaders, in regard to his vote in favor of submitting a Prohibition amendment to the people of Pennsylvania: Yes, I did so, and as a Democrat I thought I could do nothing else, for whenever a portion of the voters of a free State, respectable in numbers and character, ask their representa- tives tosubmitto them any question purely administrative for adoption or rejection asa part of the organic law it is the duty of their representatives to give them the right to vote upon it. At the polls, however, as an individ- ual citizen I would have voted ‘‘No,’’ for, as I have already said, Ido not believe in sump- tuary laws. I do not belleve that Prohibition will prohibit, and Ithink that the Democracy should declare against sumptuary laws and for a license system. As to enforcing the XIIth Article of our Constitution, which is identical with the XVIIth Article of Pennsylvania’s Consti- tution, we submit also the following as part of the advice given by Senator W AL- Lack to the Pennsylvania Democrats: One of the most important of those now agi- tating the people of the State is the question of railroad control, and those affecting discrim- ination by them. In the sessions of the State Legislature of 1883 and 1885 I made an unequiv- ocal record upon the subject of enforcing by appropriate legislation the provisions of Arti- cle XVII. of the Constitution, by introducing bills affecting them, and speaking and voting in their favor. The Democracy should boldly assert its defense of those provisions, and charge the Republican party with the neglect of its plain duty on that subject. Senator WALLACE is a railroad owner and a railroad President, but he does not believe that there is a railroad provision of the Constitutions of Missouri and Penn- sylvania which ought not to be enforced, or which would not benefit both the people and the railroads if enforced or obeyed in good faith. Ir is rumored at Washington that sev- eral prominent Republicans, who were formerly goverument officials, but who are now private citizens, have been cor- responding with the Mexican government for the purpose of retarding a settlement of the Cutting case. It was announced in the telegrams a few days ago that Mr. BLAINE had ordered a large collection of documents bearing on this case. It is hoped that the chronological order of these two reports has no special significance, and that the Plumed Knight has not been engaging in such naughty correspondence. He should remember that the Mexicans have never achieved distinction as letter- burners. 1 * BEFORE departing for the Adirondacks the President gave a farewell lick at the Morrison surplus resolution. ‘‘It is not approved, he says, because I believe it to be unnecessary, and because I am by no means convinced that its mere passage and approval at this time may not en- danger and embarrass the successful and useful operations of the Treasury Depart- ment and impair confidence in the man- | — 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 ' — agement of the finances of the Govern- ment.” This confidence, about which the President appears so solicitous, has been impaired by the policy of the administra- tion which called forth the surplus reso- lution. The action of Congress in passing this measure is indorsed by the people; and againstthem are arrayed the Presi- dent, the Secretary of the Treasury and Wall Street. Ir is hard for illicit distillers to acknowledge the corn. READERS of the Congressional Record are enjoying their holiday immensely. LATEST Cherokee chestnut: **Ioharge thee, BUSHYHEAD, fling away ambition.’’ Mr. CUTTING thinks that the authorities at Ei Paso del Norte treated him in a very Norte manner, Ir CUTTING is released withouta war there will be a great waste of patriotic and efferves- cent valor. g MAGONE doesn't sound like the name of a reformer, but there is nothing in a name—as a general rule. THE Republican party is showing all the oo - hesion of a ripe watermelon in the hands of a hungry darky. be THE work of Mr. BEECHER’S life will not be complete till he succeeds in converting Ool. CHAS. A. DANA, THE suspicion that Mr. TILDEN didn’t know enough about law to make a will cannot have avery solid foundation. A LEATHER medal should be given to the man that brings the largest assortment of w hereases to the Democratic convention. THE rumor that it would be to the Interest of Mexico to maintain peace with this country is remarkable for its overwhelming plausi bility. WHEN Mr. KBILEY gets through with the various diplomatic appointments that may yet await him he will probably be a very exten- sively travelied gentieman. „ THE Washington negroes want to raise $1,000,000 to build monuments to the benefac- tors of their race. No carpet-bagger, bloody- shirt brandisher or Freedmen's Bank mana- ger need apply. BOB INGERSOLL is going to have an opera- tion performed on his throat. If he follows this up with an operation on his cheek and another one on his gall, there will be some hope for him. - * MICHAEL DAVITT gives some very sound ad- vice to the volcanic Irish patriots who want to wade through seas of slaughter and blow England out of the ocean with dynamite. He shows them that Ireland's course lies in the direction of constitutionai agitation. —— The Republican Malady. From the New York WoRLD, A third cause of the Republican malady is the labor movement. The Republican party is the creator of monopolies. The encroach- ments of corporations onthe rights of the people have been made possible by Republican legislation. There is not an intelligent labor- ing man inthe country who does not know that the Jay Goulds and Huntingtons have been the supporters of Republicanism; that their money has been spentto elect Republican Administrations, to corrupt Republican office- holders and to purchase seats on the Supreme Bench for their Republican tools. The first de- mand of intelligent labor is for laws that, while just to corporations, will limit the dan- gerous powers that have been bestowed upon them under Republican rule and prevent them from building up monopolies, dishonestly swelling their capital and levying undue charges on the people in order to pay interest on fraudulent stock, Can such reforms be ex- pected under a Republican Administration? THE METROPOLITAN PRESS, What the Editors of the New York Journals Are Saying This Morning. By Telegraph to the Post-DIsPaATCcH, New YORK, August 17.—The WORLD says: While we propose to protect the rights of our citizens in Mexico or elsewhere, at all times, our people do not intend to be dragged into a war for the pecuniary benefit of un- scrupulous speculators.’’ THE SUN. The Sun says: ‘‘We have no more doubt than Mr. Davitt bas that Mr. Finerty is a sin- cere and fervent patriot. Yet we are just as sure as Mr. Davitt is that when Mr. Finerty pronounces the Parnellite tactics a failure, and urges their suppression by more violent and revolutionary measures, he is doing exactly what the most malignant enemies of Irelnnd’s self-government would have him do.’’ THE TIMBS. The Times says: Undoubtedly if that were a definite limit to the amount of silver dollars, even thoughit were a very liberal limit and they were keptalegal tender for debts, the country could use large quantities of them at par. Astopaying them from the Treasury, that is a matter that will regulate itself. The acting Secretary will naturally pay out all the money he can fairly spare without derang- ing the currency. He will also pay out silver dollars if there is any demand for them. These are the principles of common sense and common honesty.’’ THE TRIBUNE. The Tribune says: ‘‘In theconduct of for- eign affairs the President has a powerful lev which he may yet choose to use with effect. Democratic candidate who has the power to get upaforeign War for the convenience of his party is not to be ignored. It ig easy to see that the Mexican difficulty ought to be used with great effect, andit can be kept alive or brought toa head, as may please the Presi- dent. Plainly, territorial aggression would be as popular now in the South as it wus forty — — ago. If the President were a man of ofty patriotism, or of undoubted and spotiess sincerity, such suggestions. would not arise in the mind. But bis conduct in other matters — mane it 44 that he is not above using the tools which fortune put to his hand. * — THE PEOPLE’S FORUM. Curious Effect of the Heat. To the Editor of the Post- Dispatch: The Globe-Democrat this morning in giving an account of yesterday's weather makes use of this sentence: The wind that blew instead of having an enervating effect had quite the opposite. According to the gene . tion of the word enervate it — tomate — in vigor. Now, as it happens the wind yes- terday did have a most enervating effect on people generally, but itseems it struck the Globe-Democrat with an opposite effect.

Committees Appointed to Escort the Officers of the Irish National League—Archbishop Feehan to Open the Convention With Prayer—The Irish Delegates-A Magnifi- cent Testimonial te President Egan. CuicaGo, August 17.—The committee of ar- rangements for the convention ofthe Irish National League of America, which is to be held Wednesday and Thursday at Cen- tral Music Hall, and the mass- meeting Friday evening at Battery D, held a meeting last evening at the Conti- nental Hotel, Alexan- der Sullivan presid- ing. All the sub-com- mittees reported that Alexander Sullivan. they had made complete arrangements for the convention. John F. Finerty, Henry F. Sher- idan, Michael McInerney, William Cur- ran and Capt. Ryan of Hyde Park were appointed a committee to escort the officers of the National League together with the Irish delegates from the Grand Pacific to Central Music Hall, Wednesday morning. The following were ap- pointed a committee to wait upon Archbishop Feeban and invite him to open the convention with prayer and make an address: Henry F. John E. Redmond, M. P. Sheridan, Alexander Kerns, John L. Smythe, William Curran and C. F. Allen. They will con- fer with the Archbishop at II o'clock to-day, A telegram was received announciig that the Irish delegation had left New York over the Lake Shore, and that they would arrive in Chicago at 4 p. m. to-day. John Finerty, Chairman of the Reception Committee, con- sisting of the editors of the Chicago dailies and prominent Irishmen, will proceed to- La- porte, to meet the dele- gation. A telegram was recelyed from Gov. Oglesby regretting that other engagements AZ would prevent him ~ from presiding at the Battery D mass meet- ing Friday night. Al- *“ exander Sullivan was elected in his stead. J. Deasy, M. P. Maurice F. Wilbur of Pennsylvania, National delegate tothe A. O. II., and Dr. Scallow, State delegate to the A. O. H., were present and consented to make addresses at the meeting. The invitation of J. H. Haverly for the convention to visit Cheltenham Beach was accepted. They will go in a body on the steamer John A. Dix Friday morning. Testimonial to President Egan. CuHIcaGco, August 17.—The Irish National League managers have in store a testimonial for their President, Patrick Egan, at the Batterv D meeting Friday night. It is a mas- sive silver service, and will be presented to Mr. Egan upon behalf of the League in Ireland. Mr. Egan made so many triends when abroad in 1883 as the Secretary of the Irish National Land League of America, and articularly by his work n France, that when he was elected to the Pres- idency ' felt that they must shor in tangible form their Patrick Egan. appreciation of his worth. The testimonial was to have been presented at the Bosfon Con- vention b the munagers Mr. Parnell, but as he did not go ~ there the presentation sah was postponed until this year. The Irish League has cabled to Michael Davitt to make the presentation. The set is of wpectal design by O’Hea of Dublin. The engraving is chiefly » scroll work, represent- ing exact copies of Irish te. manuscripts of the * fitth and sixth centu- ries, now very rare. . The work is highly ar- 112 tistic. With the silver William O Brien, M. P. service is an illuminat- that is very scarcoe in Ireland. The silver is in a box of Irish oak, lined with Irish poplar. The set is among the nest in workmanship ever brought to America. LARGEST OF THE SEASON. The Chouteau Takes Its Weekly Load of Children—Country Week. The sixth excursion of the Fresh Air Mission was given to-day on the steamer Chas. P. Chouteau. The entire expense of the excur- sion was the generous donation of Messrs. H. H. Stiebel and Dave Joseph of the St. Louis Improved Street Sprinkling Company and the Lehigh Valley Coal Company. Unusual prep- arations were made for the entertainment of the guests, and that fact which was widely cir- culated succeeded in bringing out the largest attendance of the summer. A brass band (Volrath’s) was also provided by the gentie- men above mentioned. The action of Messrs. Stiebel and Josephs was productive of other good as it stimulated donations from gentle- menintheir same line of business. A letter was received yesterday from James 0. Churchill, Manager of the Western Anthracite Ooal Company, donating 800 bushels of coal forthe excursion. As the Anchor Coal Com- pany had already given 300 bushels for the excursion Mr. Stiebel, in behalfof the Fresh Air management, replied ina graceful note, accepting the donation, but postponing its delivery until the — excursion of next week. — — ohr, the Chouteau avenue confectioner, sent a supply of ice cream and cakes for the ladies and gentiemen engaged in the management of the excursion. Tony Faust seta lunch for fifty. Mr. Kammerer of the Delmonico Restaurant donated a similar spread. and Sprague’s Delicatessen sent 200 sandwiches. r. Kehrman of the Elleard Floral Company presented a large suppl) of cut flowers to the ladies and a handsomely trimmed basket to Mr. Stiebel. The man- agement also had on board a band of jubilee ers and an organ-grinder and monkey. hese were the extras. The regular donations ot a were made as follows: The Greeley-Burnbam Grocer Company gave coffee, sugar and tea- Joseph Meigher donated lemons; Dosier, Wey! & Co. sent crackers; the St. Louis Company gave the milk. An wen § ye dona- tion of cash was received, and Mrs. W. G. Webb gave $5. A cash gift of $50 was also re- ceived from the estern Anthracite mpany. The gentiemen in ch of to-day’s trip were Messrs. H. Stiebel, Alex. Mastbrook, Hula, Roberts, Spencer and Josephs. The follow- ing medical gentlemen were in attendance: Martin, Lee, Forster and Kesseler. — .— end TN — 1 ‘ue ‘ „ Volmer McIntosh, Slueder and Misg Leen’ : the boat struck the middie of the stream the breezes caught the suffering littl d 1 — ng © ones an ve them the — tor ot leasba eens ney hed THE COUNTRY WEEK.

THE COUNTY JUDGE CONTEST. Three Candidates Workingfor the Nomina- tion—East Side Notes, The contest forthe Democratic nomination for County Judge promises to be most inter- esting, ag all three of the candidates are developing about equal strength. James J. Rafter, the East St, Louis aspirant, being now satisfied that he will have the full support of the delegation from this city, bas turned his attention to the country and is working zeal- ously to secure as many delegates ag possible from the outside districts. The East St. Louis delegation numbers seventeen, and Rafter will probably secure about three delegates from the country who will vote for him on the first ballot, thus making his total vote about twen- ty-one. The Belleville delegation numbering eighteen will be almost equally divided be- tween Knispel and Brockhaus, but the latter’s friends claim that on account of bis popularity throughout the county which was guined by the splendid record he made for himself as State’s Attorney some years ago, when he had such alarge number of tax cases to fight, in nearly all of which he obtained verdicts fa- vorable to the county, that he will obtaina great many more delegates from the country than Knispel. It is thought to be the inten- tion of the leaders of the Kast St. Louis delega- tion to desert Ratter for Kuispel in case they see the former cannot be nominated, but in case such a move as this is attempted it is very likely that the delegation, which did not adopt the unit rule, will be divided, and if such proves to be the case, or if Raitershouid show unexpected strength in the country, the chances are all in favor of Brockhaus, for the Belleville deleza- tion rather than see Rafter nominated would cast atiull vote for Brockhause, which would insure his nomination owing tothe strength he will have in the country delegations, THE RAILROAD TAXES, Treasurer Alexander Flannigau states that after assiduous endeavors he has finally suc- ceeded in convincing the managers of the railroads who were delinquent iu their tax that it would bé better for them to pay up. notwithstanding the decision rendered in their favor in the County Court by Judge Un- derwood. All have now done so with ex- ception of the Vandalia and Bridge Company, and Mr. Fiannigan states that the latter company has signified its intention of doing 20. If the delinquent tax is collected from the corporation the city will be saved a great deal of litigation, and Mr. Flannigan will be deserving of a great amount of credit. A TALE OF WOR. Mr. Alex Flannigun, candidate for County Judge onthe Progressive Committee ticket, is not such a great friend of the workingman as he protesses, if the tale told by one Daniel O'Connell in Justice Shea’s court this morning is to be believed. O Connell isanemploye ofthe Narrow Gauge Railroad Company, and last November he was so seriously burnt while at work that his recovery was tor a long time doubtful. After six months confinement to his dwelling, however, he finally was able to be around again, and abouta month ago re- sumed his former position. During all the time he was laid up his family were only saved from starvation by the charity of neigh- bors, and would not have even had a root to shelter them had it not been for the kindness of Attorney Jesse Freels, who allowed them to occupy a house of his on Fifth street for five months without them pay- ing a cent of rent. It may be understood, then, how anxiously O'Connell looked for- ward to drawing his pay on last Saturday night, and his chagrin may be imagined when he went to draw it and was informed, as he stated this morning, that the $38 due him had been garnisheed by Alexander Flaunigan. The attachment was taken out before a St. Louis justice, which shows that the at- torney must have been cognizant of O Con- nell’s poverty, for under the laws of this State O'Connell could not have been attached for his salary, as the amount was all be had in the world, and every debtor is exempt to the amount of S0, NOTES. Pat Cooke, a workman at Smith’s ice-house, fell down among the ice yesterday evening and broke his right leg. Mr. Victor Rothland, the Broadway druggist, is seriously ili. The mass-meeting to nominate a new set of delegates to the County Convention will be held this evening. It is probable that some of the delegates nominated at tue regular prima- ries on Saturday will also be on the opposition delegation. CLEVER SHOP-LIFTING. Arrest of a Rival of the Dayton-Brown Gang. Mrs. M. O. Hickman, who was arrested at Barr’s store yesterday afternoon, proves to be a shop-lifter of no mean ability, and it is the most important arrest of this kind that has been made since the Mrs. Dayton-Miss Brown gang was brought in. While Mrs. Hickman was in Barr’s store yesterday afternoon, one of the clerks at the notion counter no- ticed her slip some. articles into her pocket. He. Im mediately came from behind the counter and made her accompany him to the office of Mr. Forrester, the manager of the store, There she was searched and a lot ot notions and — goods found on her hien she had stolen from the store. Officer Bat- corey was called in and he took the woman to 9 —— — n the evenin tectives Archambault and McGrath visited the house, No. 4160 Fairfax avenue, where Mrs. Hickman has been stop- ping with friends, and brought a trunk, two valises and a basket belonging to her to the Four Courts. A search of them showed that they contained about $500 worth of silks, laces, jewelry and fancy goods. This morning arep- resentative of Barr’s store called and identi- fled about $130 worth of the goods by the tags on them. man from Nugent's also identified some articles and there is goods in the pile belonging to Scruggs, Vandervoort & Barney, B. Nugent & Bro., Crawford's, the Famous and other stores, aud also some trom two Kansas City firms Bullene, Moores & Emery and G. Y. Smith. Asa large part of the goods is unmarked, it will be impossible to identify many of the articles. Mrs. Hickman lives in Kansas City, but has been visiting friends here for three months past. She is u widow, 50 years of age and is quite intelligent. Two of her e reu are married in Kansas City, and she bas Semel child with ber. Noconfession of any kind has been obtained from her, she claim- ing that she purchased all the goods.. This morning a warrant for petit larceny was taken out nst her by a representative of Barr's.

GEORGE MOORE’S INTERESTING ARS ly THE PARIS FIGARO. : a Why the Irish Capital ig Not the Beautiful City in the World—The So-Calleg Aristocracy Living in Tumbie Down Villas — Broken Down Landlords—y), Money Squeezed from the Peasantry, Most By Telegraph to the Posr-Disrarcn. NEW YORK, August 17.—The Paris Corre. spondent of the New York WorLp, under dat, of August 4, writes as follows: The Figaro jg printing a series of remarkably Piquant papers on Dublin society and Irish life from the pen of George Moore, the Irish nove, Mr. Moore is the son of the late George lieugy Moore, who, previous to the Organization og the home-rule movement, was for eiglüteeg years the leader of the Irish party n the British House of Commons. George Moore Jr., has inherited his father’s estar in the West of Ireland, which, like those of his neighbors, are mortgaged ior more than they are worth. His reulistic novel A Modern Lover,“ attracted favorable 10 tice from the London critics. Another of pis works, ‘‘A Mummer’s Wife,’ has gone througy six editions and has been translated into French. The letters to the Figaro are writes in English and rendered into French by M. Ralabe, the ‘translator ot an excellent edition of the poet Shelley, whicy has just appeared in the Paris book-shops. We promise,’’ says the Figaro editor, that these letters will not resemble anything that has ever before appeared in the French Press, and the installments that have already appeared bear out the announcement. Mr. Moore thinks that ‘‘Dublin would be the most beautiful city in Europe but for two things—its buildings and its people. The aris. tocracy, so-called, live in tumble-down villas, which, though their white walls sparkle in the sunshine, prove, when approached. to be painted shellg, surrounded by vurdens in ruins. The inhabitants of the villas are aset of BROKEN DOWN LANDLOIEDs who have been compelled to close up their date country houses and come to town for econ. omy’s sake; widows living on the dowry paid them by their elder brothers, ang mortgage creditors who live on the mortgage they or their ancestors have placed onthe land, The socialist axiom that capital is only a useless value, the toil of the worker being unpaid, ts in other countries mitigated and almost lost — — of in the multiplicity of avenues through which money must flow before it tal!s into the lockers of the rich. lreland the direct and rude transfer of money from the horny hand of the peasant to the del. icate fingers of the landlord, has a horrible smell of slavery. In Ireland, says Mr. Moore, the land- lord does absolutely nothing suave to grab all the money that the peasant can scrape to- gether. am an Irish landlord. | have aiways done, now do, and will continue to do, just as the other landiords, for it is as im- possible for meas the rest of my class to do otherwise; but that does not prevent me from acknowledging the fact that it is a worn- out system, at war with the nineteenth century, and something that should be at once abolished. In Ireland every chicken that goes into the pot, every glass of champagne drunk, every silk robe that rusties on the street is so much squeezed out of the misery of the peasant’s hovel. A few years ago this tribute—ior that is what it is—was ac cepted withouta murmur, but now the scales have fallen from the eyes of the nation and the sore is laid bare in all its ugliness, just as if the inner garment hed been removed trom the national body revealing the flesh covered with scars and pustules. The wound, which hitherto was only visibie to a few. you now sce everywhere in the most squalid districts of the city as well as in the most elegant and fashion- able quarters. dee that man yonder, ill-bred and dressed in a worn-out suit, smoking a black pipe at the end of the weed-invaded terrace of the villa that he has rented for the season? He is en- gagedin conversation with his daughter, a young girl whose face is THE PICTURE OF SADNESS, and who is now en oe best dress, that skirt of torn cashmere, buttoned atthe back. But in She is telling him he ought to ive her a new costume to go o some tennis or garden party in the neighborhood. He growls and tells her that he thinks it would be much better for her not to accept any invitation to tennis par- ties for the present year. What, she auswers, ‘do you want me, then, to die an old maid’ You do not give me the least chance to catch ahusband;Iam not allowed to go toa single place of amusement and no young man is ever invited to the house.’ At last the father, with a groan, draws from his pocket a roll of bank notes, black, greasy and ragged edged notes, that have been torn and cut in halves and pasted together again; notes that have been spat upon for good luck by their owners at fairs—notes thatare an epit- ome of the hunger and suffering of the peuas- ants inthe West of Ireland. ‘*The girl goes off skipping and hopping with three or four greasy notes to buy anew dress and to dream of the husband she will never get, while the father relapses into his dark reverie, gnashes his teeth at the Land League and dreams of the possibility of extracting from his tenants in the autumn what they re- fused to pay him in the spring, and as I behold the picture—the greasy notes, the young girl hunting for a husband; the broken- down iandlord and the half-tumbling villa, framed by its garden of weeds—I read in all that, asinthe epitaph on a tombstone, the history of atype of civilization about to van- ish forever. THE CHARACTER OF DUBLIN consists in the faet that it has no characteris- tic teature at all. It is neither nice nor uz, ancient nor modern, but all these qualifica tions may be applied to it in the same sense as they may be applied to a second- hand clothes store. Dublin reminds me of an old clothes shop, where hall robes, morning trousers, Wellington boots, etc., are ali jumbied together for sale or to let. Nothing in it seems to belong to anybody in particular, though it appears that everybody wore each one of these articies some day or other; or Dublin resembies an aguarelle painted by an old maid governess. “The houses look down on you with a‘ we-are- poor-but-honest’ sort of air, and in their antiquated elegance t seem to bend for- ward and make their humble courtesies like women that have seen better days. Others assume fashionable airs and exhibit themselves like a cocotte of un. certain agein a provincial town. Boxes of rotting flowers on the windows, torn red biinds, rusty gates and gaunt yards exhaling the sickening stench of unspeakable flith; add to this the jangie of ahundred pianos; fancy a society of ill-bred upstarts onthe hunt for marriageable young girls, composed of a few lawyers and che bar-tenders of ali the taverns, throwing all that around to the music of 4 waltz from 40 olock in the evening until (in the morning, with an interval of only three hours for refreshments, and you will realize 4 —— picture of the external aspect of Dub- in societ 7.

The exact change which will take place in the base ball situation 1s still uncer- tain. The arrival of R. C. Hewitt, President or the Washington League club, and @ con- suitation he held with Mr. Lucas yesterday seems to point to some transaction in which St. Louis and Washington are factors, but the story told by Mr. Hewitt would be apt to dis- sipate such an idea. Toa POST-DISPATCH re- porter Mr. Hewitt said to-day: A came to St. Louis partly on base ball busi- ness, partly on other business. I saw Mr. Lucas yesterday and he told me he was willing to sell his club to the highest bidder, and asked me whatI would pay for it. I named a price which he said was too low, adding that he had received a higher offer than the one I made him. After that he went away. * es there a prospect of any deal being made between you amd Mr. Lucas before you leave town?“ ‘‘I don’t know.“ Is any proposition on either side now under consideration?’’ None that I know of. „Are the statements credited to Manager Scanlan in the Philadelphia Record true?“ Not that I know of. I want to deny, by the way, that I saidI didn’tlike Scanian and re- quested him to resign. I think Scanian is the best manager in the country and he can stay manager ofthe club as long as he wants to. He may not leave us till the end of the season and we don’t want him to.“ Do you regard his utterances as reliable?“ ‘Ido. I don't know where he gets his au- thority for all that he does and says, but what- ever he does or says is right and we re not ob- jecting. Idon't know whether he’s acting for Spalding and the League or not.“ Do you think he is doing all this on his own account? | don't know. Mr. Hewitt evidently did not want to tell all he knows. He inadvertently made the ad- mission that he called on Mr. Von der Ahe yes- terday afternoon, but when asked what he wanted with the Browns’ President he changed the subject. Scanlan’s visit to Von der Ahe can be explained by the fact that the two are oid friends, but not so Mr. Hewitt’s. In reference to the mortyage of the Lucas club, franchise, grounds, etc, to L. A. Co- quard, Mr. Hewitt said the mortgage, so far as the club and franchise were concerned, is not worth the paper itis written upon. Neither the players nor the franchise could be trans- ferred or mortgaged, Mr. Hewitt said, withoutatwo-thirds vote ofthe League and he, personally, would not take him as a giit, without the Leagues sanction, let alone pay: ing for them. He further said that the League had given no consent to Mr. Lucas for any such action. * The Champions Beaten. The Brooklyns left a parting sting behind them yesterday by defeating the Browns. Both teams.batted well. The Browns’ record was twelve hits and twenty-five total; the Brooklyns’ cleven hits and seventeen total. The feature of the game was the willow work of Caruthers. He made four hits—one double, one triple and two home runs. The score was, Browns, 9; Brooklyns, II. This Is Kirby. The Detroits lost a game yesterday to the Maroons at Detroit. Kirby pitched the game of bis life, striking out fourteen of the best batting team and allowing the southpaw slug- ers but “ hits. The score was: Detroit, 4; aroons, 5. Other Games.

Certainly the New York team has shown by its late victories that it needs no such changes as blundering management is apparently sug- gesting, says Chadwiek in the Philadeiphia Times. Better let well enough alone and not weaken the team by breaking up its unity. The experience of the Baltimore and Athletic management in the American arena, not to mention the blundering at Washington, points a moral in this respect, though the tale lacks adornment. The Eastern tour of the Western teams this trip has not panned out well in re- sults affecting ihe pennantrace.

Louis League Players te Go to Pittsbarg. A Pittsburg paperof Sunday contains the following ‘‘sensation:’’ It was stated yester- day on the highest base ball authority that the Alleghenies would be in the League next year. Although reports of schemes have been Aying over the country for weeks, it is now a clearly established fact that the latest deal is to take Pittsburg and St. Louis in, and to drop the Sst. Louis Lucas tcam and the Kansas Citys. The Alleshenies hope to secure Glasscock, Denny and Myers of fhe Lucas team and Whitney of the Kansas Citys as a fielder. The team would then be made up as follows: Morris and Carroll, Miller and Handiboe and Galvin and Myers as batteries; Schomberg, Smith and Dennv on the bases, Glasscock at short range, Barkiey left field, Whitney mid- dle feld and Tom Brown right.

As stated above the deal is being considered, and the chances are r that it will go through. The management of the Allegheny team continueto deny the re- port, but the authority on which the above statements are made cannot be questioned. „Joe, the Mascot.“ From the Detroit Journal. The bulldog mascot of the Detroit team will arrive in the city and participatein the coming series at Recreation Park. The dog was pre- sented to President Marsh by A. C. Newlands, a hotel keeper at Scotland, D. T., and a great admirer of the Detroit Club in success or ad- versity. ‘‘Joe’’ isa wonderful dog. He has achest on him like a steamboat Boiler, will struggle with a hot grounder until he downs it, and can run and dodge the kicks of the opposition like a scared guinea ig. Inarecent exciting game at Scotland, ‘‘Joe, the Mascot,’’ seizedahot grounder at close quarters and then ran to first base, putting the man out by forty feet. The mascot is not a yellow dog.

The ‘‘Allies’’ is the latest name given the Pittsburg pets. If Kirby could only keep it up what a record he would make. Can it be, seriously, that Dunlap is really a Jonah? It begins to look very much that way. Reccius is confined to his bed with malarial fever. He will hardly be able to play bali this season. Manager Gifford of the Syracuse Stars will take Devlin of the New Yorks for the rest of the season. McOormick is being hit very hard and there doesn’t seem to be any luck around to save him from defeat. . Umpires keep away from Jersey City as much as possible, as the crowd there is alto- gether a home one Will St. Louis, too, go down on the annals as one of those cities where umpires are mobbed? Let us hope not. Hecker and Caruthers are the two pitchers of the comet? justnow. Their work, pitching and batting, is truly wonderful. Caruthers was batted yesterday pretty badly. No wonder when he pitched nine innings with the thermometer at 152 degrees. Mike Scanion always said the Browns were the greatest living ball team. That is why he is so anxious to get them (?) in the League. That game at Sportsman's Park should not have been played yesterday. The weatner was too hot to force men to work with the burning sun beating down upon them as it did. Crothers has pitched in more winning games than any other pitcher in the Inter- national League. He has won 20 games, Pen- dergras?, 19; Serad, 19, and Veach, 17. Would Hustling Horace jump the Asso- ciation if be had a good chance? On! yes, ‘*Hustling Horace would jump the Associa- tion if he had a good chance.—Mike Scan- lon. Ot the minor base ball associations the In- ternational League has been the most success ful this season. None of their clubs have dis- banded, and all have made more or less money. President“ Heim of Kansas City has been actually interviewed by a Kansas City report- er about the base ball situation and the re- lease of players. And President Heim an- swers all questions just as if he wasa big manager like Spauiding instead of a brewery man. Dan Leary, the well-known ball player, said two years ago that the dav would come when 20,000 spectators wouid see agame atone time. Dan thinks that base bali is still in its infancy, and thatif it grows inthe next ten years as it has in ph ony ten, nothing will be thought of a crowd of 50,000 spectators watching a game. Manager Byrne explains the present weak- ness of the Brooklyn club thus: ‘‘Terry had an attack of malaria at Pittsburg, and had to be drugged with quinine. He is hardly him- self yet. Burch had his left knee badly wrenched Sunday lastin Cincinnati, and was left there for treatment. On Monday Smith had his right thumb split. McTamany is still home with a sprained ankle; with Terry, Mc- Tamany, Burch, and Smith disabled we must accept defeat.’’—Ding, dong.

Hardie Henderson, pitcher, the man who can send the bali from the pitcher's box to the home plate in the unsurpassed time of one- fifth of asecond, is perhaps one of the best known and most popular base-ball players that she country produces. He played with amateur clubs, and his first appearance with rofessional circles was with the Philadelphia Club, whence he went to Baltimore, and where he has been for several seasons. The most interesting feature of Henderson 's playing. next to bis rapid and effective pitch- ng, isthe uncertainty about his batting. —— is liable to make a good hit just at the right time, and has several times made the circuit of the bases on a long hit, notwithstanding he has to carry about 200 pounds of bone and meat around with him. His uniform good nature never failed to make a Baltimore au- dience overlook any slight shortcomings. —— COUBTNEY AND HANLAX. Some Account of Hanlan’s Victories and Courtney’s Bad Luck. From the New York Morning Journal. By constant practice and study Hanlan had become master of a stroke which was the best in the world. He suddenly appeared in the firmament of great oarsmen when he was famous scullers at the world’s regatta at the Centennial Exhibition at Philadelphia. After- ward he defeated Wallace Ross and Fred Piaisted so badly that he made them ridicu- lous. Then he outrowed the veteran champion ot America, Evan Morris, ina five-mile race, and finaily made Mr. Courtney fee! that he was a fast oarsman only in the imagination of his hed ath defeated Hawdon the champion single sculler of England, and other famous English oarsmen. On his retarn to America in he was to row Courtney on Lake Chatauqua over a five-mile course for $6,000. When the day of the race came Juno or some one of the unpropitious gods had sawed Courtney's boat in two.

He is wonder- fully expert as an oarsman, and has really — * very fast time when rowing in private als. His intimate friends say that some years ago he received a sunstroke, and that his collapse in several races has not been due to lack of n but to the effect of the hot sun on his ead. People who have lost faith in Courtney say that he will probably saw boats with Han- lan foranumber of years tocome, and that some day in the distant future the two will probably meet in fish scows as old and paralytic men and row their last race. Nevertheless, several hundred knowing peo- ple say that Couitney and Hanlan will rowa race before the summer is over, and they are ready to wager that Hanlan will win. Running Races.

At the midsummer games of the Brooklyn Athletic Association held at Brooklyn on Sat- urday last Malcolm W. Ford beat the world's record forthe running jump. He covered 2% feet and 3 inches, beating the record by one inch. This record of 23 feet 2 inches wus held by Patrick Davin. who madeit on September 3, 1883, at Portarlington. 2e Bicycle Budget. F. I.

One Hundred and Fifty Men Injured in Fourteen Months by Falling Rock, Pre- mature Explosions, Etc.—Carelessness of Employes and Contractors—Exacting Fees for Medical Treatment—A Big Sum Wrung from the Laborers. By Telegraph to the Post-Dispatcn. NEw Tonk. August 17.—Among the official records at the office of the Aqueduct Commis- sion are reports from the engineer of con- struction and the division engineers to Chiet Engineer B. 8. Church, showing that in the interval between May |, 1885, and July 22, 1886, 152 persons have been injured along the line of the aqueduct. Of these filty-two were either killed outright or died shortly after receiving injuries. How many of them survived their injuries for a te days only to die later on, is a matter of conjecture. In addition tothe above tunfort- crushing of a finger or hand and similarly painful wounds, and which compelled the sufferer to apply for surgical or médical treatment. Physicians who have treated patients of this class estimate the number from four hundred to seven hundred. Of all the accidents which have so far occurred, nearly every one may be classified under one of three heads, viz., accidents resulting from the fall of loose rocks and stones; accidents in which the injuries were reccived from the holsting and hauling of machinery, and acci- dents resulting either directly or indirectly from premature or otherwise careless blasting. Ot the first class of accidents, some are inevitable, as no skillcan always detect an unsound mass of rock if it be large enouch to give out a proper sound when struck, but a perusal of the official reports shows several instances in which dangerous points were neither prompt- ly or properly r by timbers. The second class includes a number of serious and even fatal accidents in which the hoist- ing apparatus has either fallen or broken in consequence of the IN EFFICIENOY OR CARELESSNESS on the part of the engineers and criminal neg- lect on the part of the bosses to repair delec- tive apparatus. In the last class there are frequent cases where biasts were fixed before all the men had leit the heading, or where the men attempted to load and fire an old hole in which an exploded charge remained. Again, the cases in which asphyxia and similar troubies have resulted from the men going down the shaft before the bad air, generated by the explosion, had passed away, bave in- variably been caused by the bosses ordering the men down the shaft too soon, rather than by any extreme precipitancy of the men in returningto work. The workmen them- selves are Dy no means blameless for many of the accidents which have occurred in the shafts and tunnels ofthe aqueduct. Several accidents caused by falling rock and rubbish have been attributyble to the workmen who have rashly ventured into places which they kuew were unsafe. In reference to the cas- ualties taking place in the hoisting cages and buckets, they have likewise been in error, as they have persistentiy violated the rules of the contractors and en- dungered their lives contrar to orders. Thus, had the order that — four men should ride uP the shuft in the cage been y fatal accident in which five men were recently killed in shaft No. 2 would not have bappened. Still, again, the rules that no tools shall be carried in the cage with the men, nor any lighted — lamps. sregarded. Asa consequence a number of men have been killed while riding in their cages because of their fools getting entangied in the hoisting obeyed, the terrib seem to have been constantly d apparatrs and supports and THEIR LAMPS EXPLODING. In the early part of last April Dr. Lewis Balch, — oe A and James T. Gardener, neer of the State Board of Health, in pursuance of the State Senate’s orders, made a thorough investigation of the aqueduct’s methods as regarded tne safety of the workmen. They made an exhaustive re- port and also presented a tabulated statement of accidents. This report showed that more accidents bad happened in the shafts worked by Brown, Howard & Co. than in those worked by all the other contractors put together. The committce passed no censure on the above firm for this fact, but itis, to say the least, significant that ail the other con- tractors use electricity for lighting their shafts and tunneis while Brown, Howard &Co. use only gasoline lamps. Persons familiar with the building of the aqueduct say that elec- tricity is far preferable for lighting purposes as it enables the men to see any danger before them and does not poison the air with carbonic acid as does gasoline. Assistant Engineer Church said yesterday that he had written to Brown, Howard Co., urging them to use electric lights in their shafts, but they failed to comply. At present about 4,000 men are employed in the aqueduct. Each of these men is assessed 50 cents per month by the con- tractors for medical expenses. other Consulting Eng words, the contractors yearly COLLECT $24,000 FOR MEDICAL EXPENSES, but just what they do with the money is a matter of some doubt. For the last six months the Manhattan Hospital, at the corner of Tenth avenue and One Hundred and Thirty- firet street have bad no less than fiftv persons who had been seriously injured at the aque- duct, and about two hundred dispensury cases from the same source. All of these cases have been treated free of charge, so the doctors at the hospital say, apd hence these men have had no benefit from their W cents per month assessment. A large number of the aqueduct tients also goto the Yonkers Hospital, St. fal, and the hospital on Ninety- ninth street. Hence it is rather difficult to rancis Hosp understand just what men are treated by the physicians whom the contractors employ. Some of the workmen at the aque- duct also assert that the treatment they do get from these physicians is not of the best known to the medi rofession, and one instance is known in whieh a man witha fractured leg was taken to the hospital with his limb 2 with two rough pieces of a cigar box. ‘ith all these things in mind, the men natu- rally fall to understand what ts done with their $24,000. The Post-DISPATCH correspondent called at Clark & O’Brien’s office yester- day to inguire about this matter. The gentiemanly clerk in charge informed the reporter that he should not say one word to any newspaper reporter, as all the papers had told nothing but lies about Olar O’Brien. After some further 7 of this O’Brien and Herman Clark hire three physicians at a total egg J of about 51.000 a month to look after the de duct. kind he did explain that Clark alth of their workmen in the ue- Having given thie lucid explanation of the matter the gentlemanly clerk induiged in some concise and emphatic statements to the effect that none of the New 111 would print the truth about Clark & and wound up the interview with a general abuse of newspapers and threats that Mr. Clark would get even with them all by means of libel suits.

In Persia the poorest of wom, does not marry without a settlemu which has to be made good in case of ». vorce; and at her marriage her relatives exact from the husband an acknow}os — ment of a far larger portion than is add. ally paid to him. It is the liability to psy this, the mehr,“ that restrains the hne. band from the divorce save qn the st rong. est grounds. In cases where mutual d. taste is very strong and divorce desired by both parties, the matter is simply ar. ranged by the wife agreeing not to exact the whole or even a part of her sett). ment. There is another safeguard against frivolous divorce—a divorced man or woman does not find it easy to make a re. spectable marriage. The marriage of first cousins is the fy. vorite union. The reason is that cousins have been acquaintances and friends from childhood, while to all the rest of the world, save her brothers and sisters. the young girlisaveiled mystery; so tha: unless there is a mutual disinélination. o- too great a disparity of age, the Persian youth looks naturally to the daughter of my uncle“ as his future wife. Ofien the cousins are betrothed from childhood, 4, a rule, classes do not mingle in marriage The sons of merchants wed merchants? Ife * daughters, the young tradesman mates with his like, and so with the members of the servant and soldier Classes, But in Persia, as everywhere else, ex- traordinary personal attractions soon be- come known and have their advantage. The beauty of the lower or middle classes need not aspire in vain. The mother of he King’s eldest and favorite son, the most powerful man in Persia, was the daughter of a miller, who caught the Shah’s eye while washing clothes at the brookside. Many a poor and handsome girl is wedded without portion for her beauty’s sake. The young wife does not immediately assume the responsibilities of her position. Carefully tended asa bride for the first year of her wedded life, she willingly re- mains under the tutelage of her mother- in-law, ifshe haveone, or if she be the daughter of a widowed mother usually accompanies her to her new establish- ment. Mothers-in-law have a bettertime in Persia than in some other countries. There they are regarded as the natural ardians of the inexperienced bride, and the proper care-takers of the young mother and ber infant offspring. From the mother-in-law are learned the arts of housekeeping. Under her eyes all purchases are made from the huckster or female peddler, for a visit to the bazaar by a young wife before she has blessed her husband with children would be considered a scandalamong the upper, middle, or tradesman class. Only among the very poor or the villagers does the young wife, save on ceremonial occa- sions, leave the shadow of her husband’s roof-tree during the first year of her mar- riage. But the first year of wifehood has passed away,and relatives and friends have been summoned to celebrate the happy birth of asonor daughter. If the former, then indeed is the position of the wife a happy one. She receives the congratulations of her friends and acquaintances and holds high festival. Her husband dignifies her by the title of Mother of Hassan” or whatever the little one’s name may be, and from that ed her own name is no longer used. If she is only blessed with a daughter, still she is not cursed with sterility—that terror of the Oriental woman—and she may hope that heaven may yet bless her with a son. Consulted in all matters, the Persian wife is her husband’s trusted confidant and counsellor. “But she is veiled, the poor thing, closely veiled!” exclaims the pitying English woman. Yes, she is veiled. And loath would she be to part with what she looks on as a distinction and a privilege. To her the veil is the badge 1 and the token of respecta- bility. And has she any accomplishments, any education; oris she merely the mother of the children? These questions are easily answered. Many of the Persian middle- class women are highly educated accord- ing to Oriental ideas. They read and often write poetry: they sing and play, 4s a rule, well, and are mistresses of all the ants of plain and fancy needlework; cooking is a second nature to them; pastry making and confectionery areamong their pleasures. The accom- plishments of the poor ones are naturally of a more useful kind. They are good cooks and bread bakers; they make the clothes of theentire household; they often are able to add largely to the daily income by their knowledge of some business oF trade, and none of them are idle. Beck Sees the Mote in Manning’s Eye. From the Boston Herald. Those who are familiar with the strong personal characteristics of Senator Beck will smile to learn that he didn’t like Sec- retary Manning at first because he was ‘“‘such a -— blunt man and so —— —— ob- stinate.” ‘*He used to make me so mad,” said the Senator, “that I seldom left the Treasury Department without swearing that I would never put my foot within the doors again. He wassoinfernally set in his opinion that onecouldn’t convince bim with factsor arguments. The more you talked to him the closer he would stick, and you couldn’t move him an inch. If there is anything I despise,” continued Mr. Beck, it is these —— obstinate, intolerant, pig-headed fellows, who won't be convinced on any subject, and think they are always right and the rest of the world always wrong, and at first I thought Mr. Manning was one of them, but after 1 fot acquainted with him, I began to like him and the more I saw of the man, the more respect I got for him. I found he was the backbone of the Cabinet, and had more sense than all the rest of them. He and I got along very well together, and 1 was willing to put up with his —— blunt ways because I saw it was natural to him and he didn’t mean to be oppressive.’’ 4 broad smile ed over the face of everybody n the committee-room, where Senator Beck was telling this story, and when he finished there was a roar of laughter, at which the Kentucky leader looked very much astonished. After awhile he went to one of the party and asked him in the most innocent way: What in thunder and lightning were at when I tol : in invisible settin 7 in in tings.

The English Commission Recalled—Probable Resumption of the Controversy—A Com- plicated Point The Matter Considered at a Cabinet Council — Lord Randolph churchill's Irish Scheme—Nilsson’s Mar- riage to Take Place in September — For- eign News. Special Cablegram to the Post-Dispatch, Lowpor, August 17.—A fresh Russian sensa- tion has been caused here this morning by the somewhat abruptly worded announcement in the Standard, in leaded type, that it has been determined to recall the English commission engaged in the delimitation of the Afghan frontier, at the earliest possible date. In a long and evidently inspired leader, the Standard regards its Own news as of grave import, saying that the Ameer would rather risk war with Russia than waive his rights, therefore the state of affairs on she Afghan frontier must, for some time to come, cause reasonable anxiety. The withdraw- al of our officers from the false position they have taken up isa preliminary, not to the repudiation of our responsibility, butto giving them practical effect.’’ The point at issue is a complicated one. On the best English map Khoja Saleh, at which the line of delimitation’ was to end, is inside the more southern of the two bends of the Oxus at that point. To this Russia insists om adbering, while the English officers declare the location of Khoja Saleh at this point ‘a GEOGRAPHICAL ERROR, and that the real spot is some twelve miles north, namely, at a pointof the angle of the northern bend of the river. I have just obtained a glimpse at a very care- fully guarded private Russian staff map, a huge chart of Central Asia, which strangely confirms the English contention by plucing Khoja Salehat the spot where the English officers declare it to be, but where it is not on the present maps. This Russian map is ex- tremely significant. In another respect it shows large tracts of Central Asia which are left quite blank on the best English maps as a practically unknown country. These have deen surveyed by Russia almost as if they were English countries. Itistooearlyto say whether the news is really grave. — THE IRISH PARTY. Probable Obstruction in Parliament—Mrs. Mackay’s Brilliant Ball. Special Cablegram to the Post-Dispatch. LONDON, Augast 17.—The session which be- gins on Thursday will neither be so quiet nor so short as was at one time expected. The Irish party is going to give some trouble. It may be all very well for English politicians to discourage obstruction, but Parnell and his friends do not see mattersin that light. The convention at Chicago will be followed by a fresh appeal for American money. Experience has proved that unless the Irish party do something to harass and worry thetyrant, money is not forthcoming. A brisk bout of obstruction at Westminster, a few flaming speeches against the Government, denunciations of Lord Salisbury and of Lord Randolph Churchill as Orangemen and coer- cionista will produce a fine effect in America. The Prime Minister is for the time to be the recipient of all the abusive and denunciatory epithets which for three or four years were flung at Mr. Gladstone. That the meeting of Parliament will, however, be used by the Irish party for strictly business purposes as quite probable. The Speaker andthe chairman of committees will have to adopt drastic measures in order to get busi- ness through. It will be found, I believe, on Thursday next that Lords Salisbury and Churchill will speak ina tone of mingled con- ciliation and firmness. They will avoid, as far as possible, anything which will stir up bitter ness and will endeavor to allay rather than exasperate party animosities. One question they will declare themseives on with the utmost distinctness. They wiil tell Messrs. Gladstone and Parnell that they will be no parties to any seheme impairing the legislative union be- tween Great Britain and Ireland. They cannot at present state, even in outline, “ ‘THEIR IRISH POPICY, dut they will announce their intention ot deal- ing with the subject of local government on very comprehensive principles, both in Ire- land and England. That will comprise land reform, local government reform, registration and other measures of a practical and mod- erate character. Ihearthat in the debate on the. address, some of Gladstone’s supporters intend to direct attention to Churchill's election ad- dresses. Their object isto force him to offer something of an apology, but there is not the slightest chance that he will do anything of the kind. Old members await with much in terest the first encounter between Gladstone and Churchill in their new positions. The statement that Churchill has drawn up a scheme dealing with the question of Irish gov- ernment is, of course, absurd. The framing of such a measure will lie with Sir Michael Hicks-Beach, but this Government has not yet approached the ques- tion in detail and will not do so until Novem- ber. The great majority of Liberals are anx- ious that the session should close as soon as possible. But for the Irish party the House would be up the first week of September. While Parnell and his friends will do what theycanto add a fortnight to the session, some of the best of his men are not available. Messrs. Healy and O’Brien are out of Parlia- mentand Mr.J.

Mrs. James Brown Potter obligingly initiated an English lady who would take pity on him in the mys. teries of American capers. The guest of the evruing danced persistently with Mrs. Wilson, Mrs. Gillert and Mrs. Potter. Mrs. Mackay herself appeared to forget the very existence of the British aristocracy. The supper, in an enormous tent, was magnificent, the champagne fauitiess. The Prince staid to the very last. Nothing but the early departure of some of the yachts interfered with the com. Diete success of Mrs. Mackay’s brilliant ball. Mrs. Custa, with her usual thoughtfulness, improvised a -little farewell dance to meet His Royal Highness on Tuesday evening.

Lowpon, August 17.—Mr. Parnell has re- quested all the Irish members of lament to de present on Thursday at the reassembling of Parliament. He says that in view of the grave and pressing condition of public affairs it is very necessary that there should be a full attendance of the Irish contingent, The Dublin Freeman’s Journal says Mr. Par- nell’s summons shows that the Parnellites do not intend to await the convenience of the Ministry in dealing with the Belfast riots and the alarming condition of the Irish farmers. Lord Salisbury must explain how he intends to meet the contingency of the inability of the farmers to pay their rentsand he will be called upon to declare the policy he intended to substitute for that of ‘‘Manacles and Manito- Den THE AFGHAN TROUBLE. The Pall Mall Gazette says it is glad the Afghan Commission has been recalled, as it will hasten a settlement of the question of the ownership of Khomiab, which Russia claims by direct negotiations be- tween London and St. Petersburg. The St. James Gazette says the question is as far from settlement as it was fifteen months ago. Russia claims Khomiab and the Afghans refuse to give it up. A conflict is likely to occur at any moment, the Gazette fays, and it rests with England to say what it will and can do to prevent its allies from being plundered. The task of Lord Iddesleigh, Foreign Secretary, will be easier when be is relieved of this useless and embarrassing commission. The Globe says that nothing would suit Russia better than to keep the Khomiab question open and to re- vive it when it suits her. A CABINET COUNCIL. The Cabinet sat to-day from noon until? o’clock. The Queen’s speech was considered and approved. The Afghan difficulty was also discussed. It is understood that Col. Ridgway of the British-Afghan Commission has been recalled, because he felt that the difference between Russia and England had better be dealt with by the Foreigm office.

NEw YORE, August 17—A Halifax special to the Tribune says: The Dominion Government is being bitterly attacked bythe press of both political parties for its lack of efficient pro- tection to the fisheries. A correspondent at the North Bay says: ‘‘On Saturday there was a fleet of 150 saii off Miminegash, fully two- thirds of which were Americans. About sun- down acutter came along, hoisted a flag and fired a gun. She chased a schooner ashore, but it proved to be a Nova Scotian. Tue cutter business is a farce. The Ameri- cans do as they please. They were off here yesterday (Sunduy) evening, and they are here this (Monday) morning. Whatsort of protection is this 1 hope that some of the United States men-K. war, now said fo be in the bay, will blow the cutters to the devil. They are an arrant humbug, and meetings should be held at once throughout the provinces to let the Government under- stand that the people are not to be hood winked in this fashion.

By Telegraph to the PostT-DISPaTCH. WASHINGTON, D. C., August 17.—The report reaching here last night that the Chinese Government is increasing its armament with great haste and has ordered 200,000 rifles from England, is looked upon with no small degree of suspicion. Itis interpreted to mean that tne Chinese Govern- ment proposes to take advantage of the opportunity while the United States is upon the verge of a crisis with Mexico, and force this Government, through the American interests in China, to pay the Chinese Govern- ment the $140,000 as proposed by the last Congress in award for the depredations inflicted upon Chinese in the Rock Springs massacre in W yoming Ter- ritory.

Asthis wasanew feature tothe question, not before considered, it has. in the opinion of many, the appearance of an Oberly victory. Mr. Oberly is an old printer and well fitted, it is said,to fill the duties of the office.

C., August 17.—The Civil. important change inthe system of examina- tions for admission to the post-office and cus- tom house services, which will shortly be formulated and promulgated. It will be made in response to the desire of the Civil-Service Reform Association that the local boards of examiners for admission to the post-office and customs service should be composed of meu who are not themselves in the civil service. This proposed system of independent exam- iners the commission do not consider practica- ble, so far as they are concerned. In the first place, it would require a change in the civil- service act which provides that the ex aminers shall be taken from the civil-service, and in ti second place it would necessitate the creation of severa! hundred new offices. The Commissioners think that the proposed change in the system will effect the same re- sult in a better way. They propose to have the local examiners send all the examination papers directly to the civil-service commis- sion bere, to be marked or graded, instead of marking or grading them themselves as at resent. Thus the markingand grading will e uniform, and will not be affected by local influences. It might not be practicable to have examination papers sent from the Pacific coast to the civil service commission for this pur- ose, but it will probabiy be arranged so that hey can be sent toa special board of exam- iners at San Francisco. The Mexican Mission. By Telegraph to the Post-DISPATCH. Was IN Gro, D. C., August 17.—There is a rumor bearing many evidences of truth, though not authenticated, from the fact that Mr. Porter, Assistant Secretary of State, declines to talk, that he is to resign within Aa short time, not for the purpose of entering the Sen race in Tennessee, but to accept the ministership to Mexi:>, succeeding Jackson, whose resig nation has been in the State Department for the three weeks. Mr. Porter said last nighttoafriend he would not resign to enter politics in Tennessee, but might in order to go abroad.

A father’s curse is a bad thing even in cold weather, but when the mercury is knocking down all the old records a parental anathema is apt to take the romance ont of a love case about as quickly as the heat is calculated to reduce the stiffness in the hero's shirt. This wus the rather sudden ending this morning of the courtship of Ash- ley 2. Lindsley and Miss Kittie De Mary, which in the three years of its ex istence has been full of a series of differences between the suitor and the young lady's parents, who were united in an aggressive opposition to all his claims of love. These differences which included assault and battery, rock- throwing and mud-slinging, have been fully described at the time of occurrepce by the POST-DISPATCH, and have tended to keep alive public interest in a love match that differed from hundreds of other heart complications only in the singular regularity with which the young man was in the habit of getting thrashed by the old gentleman. Every time they met the anury ancestor would let fly his arm and down would go the object of his daughter's affec- tion to pick himself uy and throw rocks from a distance. Adainst this enraved boot and fist that were liable to go off at any time, it was pretty hard to make way, but Lindsley persisted, and has got at last into the position where all eyes are turned upward to see over- whose heads the white dove of parental recon- cillation is lug to hover. THIS CONDITION OF THINGS was surmised last Friday afternoon when the neighbors around the corner of Easton and Page avenues saw young Lindsley and Miss DeMary drive up behindav ry jaded horse which was pulled up a few blocks from the corner, where the young lady alighted. She tripped along quickly and was so00n lost to sight as she disappeaped up the stairs in the rear of the music store on the corner, above wiich the DeMarys live That something unusual had oe- eurred thev could not doubt, and they were not much surprised to hear that the young folks had just driven in irom Clayton where they had been married.

Presently his signal was answered andaiightform slipped out of the door on tue Euston avenue side, and glided rapidly eastward. The wiite-roded figure had scarcely got a block away when an elderly lady suddenly came out of the same doorway apd started after the first one. Lindsley had seen the lat- ter move and called upon his chum, Mr. Con Ryan, foradvice. Mr. Ryan being quite a U- ture in that part of the neighborhood, owing no doubt to the presence of the saloon, advised him to iollow on the car. Sothetwo fellows boarded a down-town car, and by hiding behind other passengers managed to elude the vigilant eye of the old lady, whom they passed, and meet the younger on Sheridan avenue where the two lovers laid their pians, which esuited in the sudden trip to Clayton and the marriage. the beginning of the courtenip and ite end- ing at Clayton, and the father’s formal curse this morning were told to-day by Mrs. De Mary, a mild-faced wee little lady whose face was as gentie as an April day.

THE ANARCHISTS. Capt. Black, Chief Counsel forthe Defense, Begins His Argument. CuicaGco, August 17.—This is the fiftieth day of the anarchist trial and Capt. Black, the leading counse! for the defense, began the clos- ing plea for the prisoners. Capt. Black began his argument 28 soon as the jury were seated. He said: ‘‘May it please the Court and gentlemen of the jury,on the morn- ing of May 5, 188, the good people of Chicago wege startied at the event which happened at the Haymarket. Fear is the mother of cruelty, and perhaps that will account in some measure for the bitterness with which the State has prosecuted this case. The serious question which confronts us, however, is to what extent you, gentlemen, in your deliberations may be influenced by passion or prejudice. On the night of May4a dyna- mite bomb was thrown at the Haymarket inthis city and exploded. It caused widespread havoc and loss of human life. But the moral responsibility for dynamite does not rest upon the Socialists. This explosive was given to the world by science. We might well stand appalied at the dread results this terrible agent is capable of producing.’’ Capt. Black reiterated that dynamite, so far as the origin of its manufacture was con- cerned, hud no connection at all with the doctrines of Socialism, and he laid down this to be rule of law the jury should followin their deliberations: When a man is charged, or sought to be charged, with a crime, as in this case, ad oe must show who threw the bomb—who did the deed—and must showthat these defendants were con- nected directly with the guilty man. He then proceeded to enli hten the jury that the St-te mistook their functions aitovether. The that counsel for the State when one of them advised the them it depended to ma n- tain the law and government. Because those detendants plotted against the State, they were revolution ts, it was said, but that was not true. There could be no revolution, though, except when the heart of the people rose to redress some great wrong. Continuing, the counsel gave a scientific account of dynamite and the experiments with it as an avency of modern warfare. Then he declared that dynamite was in the world to stay, and that these defendants were in no wise respon- ble for it. But the Haymarket bomb wis speaker said were wrong jury that upon thrownon the night of May 4, and mi: or resulted from it. Who was responsi» 27 The man who threw the bomb; no one else. He argued that these defendants cou:d not be convicted as aecessa- ries before the fact, He said that the state had ali throuch the case atteinpted to secure @ conviction by appealing to 28 preju- dice and passion, and absurdiy declaring that the security of our institutions depended on the punishment of these men. —— ABOUT TOWN.

History of the Plot as Given from the Wit- ness Stand—An Organized Plan to Over- turn the Established Government by the Use of Dynamite—-A Summary of the Evidence—Conviction Expected. Unique, un-American, unexampled, 1s the trial now going on before Judge Garyin Chi- cago. Eight Anarchists, Nihilists, Socialists, or whatever you may pleaseto call them, are before a jury on the most heinous charge which the judicial annals of our country re- cord. The crime of which this trial is the out- come has already taken its place as the most sensational in the recent history of America. On May4abomb was thrown among a squad of Chicago policemen, ata riotous meeting ia the Haymarket, and seven brave men paid the penalty of death for performing their duty. This deed was committed, not in Russia, not in a country where centuries of tyranny have turned to stone the hearts of men, but in a land where freedom is the very corner-stone of the social structure. The trial began on Monday, June 21, 1886. The defendants, held for conspiracy and mur- der, are August Spies, Michael Schwab, Sam- uel Fielden, Albert R. Parsons, Adolph Fischer, Geo. Engel, Louis Lingg and Oscar W. Neebe. On the morning that the trial opened only seven of theeight were before the court as prisoners. The trial began drAmatically. For weeks the detectives had been searching for Albert R. Parsons, the rabid anarchist, who possesses a dark-featured, hot-tongued, hard- hearted wife. Every exertion had been made to find him, but without avail. On Monday afternoon Parsons deliberately walked into court, to the astonishment of all concerned and to the dismay of the detectives. Un- kempt, unshaven and soiled, he looked as though he might have been toying with dynamite bombs for weeks. DI¥FICULTY IN SELECTING A JURY. Then began a search for jurors that is al- most unparalleled. The defendants were well represented by counsel, whose policy was to obstruct the trial by every device in their power. Atthe end ofthe first week 209 men had been examined and only four jurors were drawn. All sorts of difficulties were en- countered in finding competent men, one source ofthe trouble being that honest men hate anarchy and Anarchists as they detest the works ofthe devil. Some were too igno- rant to serve; others too wise; others too strongly prejudiced. On Wednesday, June 30, the fifth man was added to the jury. The defense meanwhile had been laying their plans to make the trial last all summer. The defendants had put on a bold front and apparently were light-hearted and defiant. The gallows seemed to play no part in their imaginings. They appeared in court day after day with copies of the Arbeiter Zeitung and other Anarchist papers in their hands, with flowers in their coats and with sardonic smiles on their more or less unpleasant faces. On the eleventh dav of the trial the counsel for the defence sprung a trap whereby they hoped to pack the jury in the interests of their clients. Their assertion was that the prose- cution was entitled to only twenty peremptory challenges. If this point had not been over- ruled the jury might at present be much better disposed towarus the Anarchists than can now be possible. At the end of fifteen days 633 talesmen had been examined and only seven jurors were chosen. All sorts of men had been repre- sented during the course of the examinations. Millionaires and paupers, ignoramuses and scholars, had been alike rejected on technical grounds. At the end of seventeen days 725 men had been examined and eight jurors were chosen. The public began to weary of the monotonous course of the trial. The jurors first drawn were worn out witb waiting. On Thursday, July 15, the last juror was im- anelled. Nine hundred and eighty-one men ad been examined before twelve ‘‘peers of the defendants’’ were found to satisfy both the prosecution and defense. 0 SEEKING TO MAKE ANARCHY THERRULE. State Attorney Grinnell relieved the tedium which had settled on the court for weeks by recounting the details of the massacre of May 4 in a speech of an hour and a balf's duration. He said: ‘‘For the first time in the history of the country the State has on trial men who have endeavored to make anarchy the rule, and 1 hope it will be the last.“ The State would show, he said, that the men on trial had been engaged in a . to throw the city into a condition of revolution. It would prove that the men on trial had taken art in the details of this conspiracy, that hey had armed in secret, had open- ly advised workingmen and others to commit acts of lawlessness, that the manufacture of deadly bombs could be proved against them, that one of their num- ber, Lingg, was known to have made such weapons and had given one to the man who threw the fatal shell on the night of May 4. The chief count against the men on trial; he said, was murder; that they had all encouraged the —— of the bomb and that they were allresponsible for the destruction which en- sued. The speech made a strong impression on all who heard it. The eight 2 — lost before its conclusion the jeering manner they ad assumed at the beginning of the trial and for the first time seemed to realize the serious- ness of the position in which they stood. Attorney Salomon, of the defense, rose as Mr. Grinnell ceased speaking and announced that he would make no opening argument. AN UPRISING LONG CONTEMPLATED. Asthe trial proceeded, and the evidence oftered by the prosecution grew more sensa- tional, the court grew crowded daily with men and women, some of whom were friends or relatives of the men in the prisoner’s dock. The prosecution presented an overwhelmin ly — case. Theodore Fricke, superin- endent of the Arbeiter Zeitung, was an im- portant witness. He identified the manuscript of the ‘‘Revenge’’ circular and other incen- diary articles as being in the handwriting of August Spies, and gave other important evi- dence of the connection of Spies, Parsons Fielden, Fischer, Schwab and Neebe with the cireulation of incendiary docu- ments or speeches. The testimony of various witnesses as to the Anarchical tend- encies of the speeches, writings and conver- sation of the prisoners was clearly presented and was unshaken by the defense. All the testimony went to show that an uprising of a revolutionary nature had been planned for 3 1, or some neighboring date. itness after witness described the scenes which took piace on May 4. Once ina while the lurid horror of the testimony would be re- lieved by some ghastly combination of circum- stances 9 in testimony as horrible as any ever would seen laughabie to A PF NORTHEAST CORNER BROADWAY AND PINE acrowd gradually becoming accustomed to details of death and destruction. The testi- mony of Oflicer Shane regarding the Moor- mick riot had the following question and answer: ‘‘How many did you find killed or wounded?’’ Only one—and that was from an operation performed by Dr. Hobbs.’’ Laughter' is bracketea after the last word and it brings out in strgnger colors the horrors of the trial. Among the most interesting features of the testimony offered by the prosecution were the lurid editorials inthe Arbeiter Zeitung. The efforts of that paper to stir up workingmen to lawlessness are well shown by an editorial in the issue of May 4. To arms! To arms] If you do not defend yourselves you will be torn in pieces and round by the animal’steeth. The new yoke which awaits you in case of cowardly retreat is heavier still and harder than the yoke of slavery as it exists now. All the powers hos- tileto the workingman have made common cause. They recognize their common inter- est. In such days as ours everything else must be subordinated to this one thought. How can the thieving capitalists, together — their hired murderers, be made harm- oss?“ A PANIC IN COURT. On Wednesday, July 21, testimony of a char- acter which was more sensational than pleas- ant stirred up a commotion in the court. The trial opened that morning with William Seliger on the stand. Seliger isa German who does not speak English. He was the man who kept the Louse in which Lingg was arrested, and In which the bombs were manufactured. The Chicago Times of July 22 says: Attorney Ingham walked up to the witness with a huge pipe boinb, witb a fuse projecting from one end, and asked: ‘Look at the bomb which I now show you.’ Ihe Court sprang forward on the bencb and wanted to know, inan excited voice, whether or not the bomb was loaded. His Honor was informed that it was a genuine bomb, dynamite, cap, fuse andall. Mean- while Mr. Ingham stood close to the jury, ona line between the witness and the Court, hold- ing the deadly weapon in his right hand. It wus a piece of gas-pipe, eight inches long and about two inches in diameter, filled with dyna- mite. The tuse projecting from one end seemed to invite the fatal match, and as electric lights were burning strongly but a few feet above it, the situation was considered dangerous. The Court thought that if the bomb should be accidentally dropped it might explode in court with disastrous results, and suggested that all shells should be eimptied of their deadly contents before they were brought info court. The jurymen became considerably, excited at the presence of the bombs, and one of them, Mr. Hamilton, near to whose face it was held, rose partly from his seat, as if about to es- cape, and expressed his desire to have ‘that thing taken out.’ The ladies sitting on either side of the Judge did not seem to be much afraid of the bomb, and smiled naively at the great anxiety of the Court to have it removed, while at the other end of the room Mrs. Par- sons induiged in a hearty laugh, as though she were well acquainted with the nature of dyna- mite bombs, and considered them harmiess in the lawyer’s hands. “The Court denounced the levity displayed by the audience, and said that if any one present saw anything tolaugh at to go out of the room. “It was agreed between the Courtand counsel on both sides that Capt. Bonfield should take the bombs outand unload them somewhere down at the lake and reproduce them in court after the noon recess. he Captain informed the Court that he could take them into the ante-room and unload them in five minutes, but His Honor did not wish the ante-room ut to any such use, It was in too close prox- mity to the audience. Sothe Captain took the bombs away, according to the judicial mandate.’’ ANARCHISTS AS WALKING ARSENALS. Seliger’s testimony was damning. He not only described the manufacture of dynamite bombs in detail, but told howa trunkful of loaded bombs was taken from his house to be used against the police, how he (seliger), Lingg and others had carried bombs around in their pockets with the intention of throw- ing them into police stations and patrol wagons, and his startling testimony was fully > —2 ad iQ — keep cool! $1.50 for a 4 thin © and Vest oat tainment of which they openly avowed their willingness to shed blood and disobey the law. They were conspirators publicly inciting and comntenancing murder. The trial as it stands to-day has increased, if possible, the public indignation against the prisoners. They fought against law and society with the most cowardly and treacherous weap- ons the ingenuity of man has ever devised. The defense has made but a poor attempt to- wards proving innocent eight men who, after a fair trial, seem to stand in most imminent danger of the hangman’s noose.
