Probability that the Case Will Be Carried to the United States Supreme Court—A Meeting of Female Anarchists—Gen. Par- sons’ Opinion — How Capt. Schaak Se- cured the Evidence—A Warning to An- archists Now Enjoying Freedom. CHICAGO, July 21.—There was a meeting last night of allthe female relatives of the sen- tenced anarchists. They were reinforced by men from all parts of the city, and Miss Spies subsequently said that over $4,000 was sub- scribed to the fund tocarry the case to the Supreme Court. Miss Spies said. We have been watched and hounded by detectives and newspaper men until we are nearly harassed to death. But we got away with them all this time, and have had our meeting. The law may beat us by Judge Gary’s rulings and by the special pleas made by Mr. Grinnell, but the Supreme Court never willindorse or rule the same way. Think of my brother being hanged when he was only trying to do the best he could to help work- ing men.’’ It was reported that Mrs. Holmes made an energetic plea to the meeting in favor of awaiting the decision of the Supreme Court. The woman said that they were not in any fear of starvation or being distrained for rent, as the oppressed of all nations would come to their succor. When the meeting dispersed it was an early morning hour, and the women all embraced and declared that they would stand together. TRYING TO REVERSE THE VERDICT. Gen. W. H. Parsons, brother of the convict- ed Anarchist, says thatevery effort will be made to reverse the verdict and that the case will becarried tothe Supreme Court of the United States if necessary. It is understood that the leading ex- ception will be the refusal of Judge Gary to give for the defense the instruction which gave to all men the right to peaceably assembie and to repel by force any attempt made, either by the authorities or private individuals, to break up sucha meet- ing. If the State Supreme Court overrules them on this point, they will appeal to the United States Supreme Court on the ground that the question is a constitutional one. AN UNFAIR TRIAL. In an interview printed this morning Gustav Belz, the present managing editor of the Arbeiter Zeitung, asserts his belief that the trial was not conducted properly and says the Anarchists think money was a large factor in the result. Mr. Belz added that nearly $8,000 had been subscribed to the defense fund and the service of the lawyers up to date will cost $5,000. At the late picnic $1,000 additional was added to the fund, and Belz thought money would pour in after to-day. CURBING THE ARBEITER ZEITUNG. A morning paper publishes an interview with State’s Attorney Grinnell, in which he says: ‘‘Very rigid measures will be adopted against the Arbeiter Zeitung. Any reference to the alleged bribery of the jury or other incendiary utter- ances will cause its instant suppression. We are going to see this matter clear through. Mr. Grinnell was asked further whether he intended making other arrests now, to which he replied: eilt depends largely upon how they behave themselves. I will take nothing but the best of good conduct. We have the names of fifty men who will be _ seized at the firat outbreak. However, everything will be dropped for the present, until we caught some rest. A GENERAL LABOR REVOLT. Joseph Gruenhut, the Socialistic labor or- ganizer, who holds a place on the Chicago city pay rolls asatenement inspector, was asked what he thcughtof the verdict. ‘‘It will be the signal for a general revoit of labor against capital,’’ he replied. ‘‘The verdict in itself is an outrageous violation of the first principles of liberty and justice, It is a class verdict. It is the ver- dict of capitalists and the representatives of capital, and is given in the interests of capital regardless of law and justice and the rights of the people. Ithink they were convicted to crush the labor movement—convicted because they represented that movement, and con- victed solely inthe interests of capital. But they will never hang. Why do you think so?’’ „The Supreme Court will overturn the ver- diet. ‘*I suppose they have money enongh to fight the case for ali there is in it?’ All that money can do, will be done. They have 95,000 organized laborers at their back, who will supply all the funds and crush the verdict to the utmost.’’ ‘‘And if the writ of error or supersedeas is refused, what then?’’ tell you it will be the signal for the revolt of labor. In fact this verdict is the signal for the labor revolution. I know what I'm talk- ing about, and don’t you forgetit. Its a ver- dict of capital and it will be resisted to the death.’’ THE ANARCHISTS’ CLAIM REPUDIATED. In opposition to this opinion George Rogers, a member of the State Executive Board ot the Knights of Labor, anda prominent organizer in the order, says: The verdict brings no shock to the labor movement. The convicted Anarchists have not heid for years a legitimate place among the friends of the laboring man and when they drop out vg | will leave no hole to fill. lam not among those who affect to believe that the men will not hang. I think they will, nor do 1 ques- tion the righteousness of the verdict. It has been boasted that the Knights of Labor will interfere with an attempt to save Parsons, but 1 do not believe it. The Knights of Labor will not take any part in the affair as an organization. The remedy for labor abuses rests in the law making powers of the State. The verdict will probably call attentiop to the fact that after all, the law is a pretty*safe thing to lean on, and if the law is made right all will be right. The ballot and not the bomb is our strongest and best weapon. The vindi- cation of the law will have a wholesome effect upon society.’’ 4 HOW Tun EVIDENCE WAS SECURED. Capt. Michael Schaack, who is credited with having obtained the chief evidence against the condemned anarchists, was asked if the police were now through with their labors. „Through?“ seid the omcer; Why they ely commenced. ‘You mean you have others who are in- dicted on the same charge? „ou must not ask too much. I tell you the bnarchist business in Chicago has only com- menced, and before it is through with we will have them in jail, hung or driven out of the city.’’ bia you place any men under arrest yes- terday?’’ * Tkat I do not wish to tell. „The report is that you have secured war- rants for the arrest of a large number of per- sons. ‘elt you think a minute you can see how foolish the idea would be. We have no ac- commodations for any large number of peo- — and it would be needless expense arrest. ng too many at once. I can get them all as I want them. I do not need to arrest them * na gghey may try to leave the eity. ‘Time enough to arrest them when they do. t them just the same. fi any of the women be arrested?’’ „Why not the women? Some are a 1 t worse than the men. 27 think,’ had told * the jury would have brought the verdict of yesterday? No, oe N thousand times no. The prisoners would have one free. Every reporter who: came to me, Id him nothing. I was working up the evidence little by little, * by piece, and patting it together where it belonged. That 8 where I got the evidence. If I had told all 1 knew as fast as I got points the defense would have known what evidence was to be brought against them and have been prepared to meet it. There is but one man beside myself who knew anything about what I was doing,’’ said the ofticer in conclusion. It is claimed that the attorneys for the State always relie on a verdict of ilty. They maintained that there was no oubt concerning the result. Had Schnaubelt been at the bar they could have produced tes- timony corroborative of Gilmer and Thom pson, which was excluded under the rules of the evidence. They regret that Balthazur Rue was not jndicted for murder with the condemned mep. There was not sufficient evidence to bring him before the Grand-jury, however. The most important point inst him was devoloped during the trial and by the witnesses forthe defense and especially by Spies and Schwab.“ PROBABLE INDICTMENT OF MOST. There is some talk of getting Kau and Most indicted for the capital crime for a future Grand-jury. Had Schraeder testified in ac- cordance with his first story to Capt. Schaak, Neebe, itis claimed, would have shared the fate of his conspirators. The Social- istic labor unions, however, ‘‘reasoned’’ with him and thus saved Neebe from the gallows. The most active worker for the defense was Capt. Walters, or Walthers, whom Jannsen swore was drilling the ‘‘armed section.’’ He, it is said, procured the ‘‘pairs’’ of witnesses referred to by Mr. Grinnell in his closing speech. It is said he got Schraeder over. The troops of anarchists who testified for the de- fense, the police say, were drilled by him. His knowledge of Enylish is limited, or they 9 have told more consistent stories. Diack and Foster, it is declared, would have nothing to do with Walthers. They refused to hold uny intercourse with him. Belze, an- other Socialistic leader, the Irish dynamiter Gleuson and Schilling were also active workers for the defense. It is said that Rau has fled the city. He bas not been seen in his accustomed baunts for the last four days. A detail often police from Capt. Schaak’s force spent the night at the jailasa special guard forthe convicts. These were relieved by another squad this morning. The prison- ers held an extensive conference with Capt. Black, their chief counsel, this morning re- garding the programme to be carried out to test the verdict and prevent, if possible, the judgment being carried out. — — — THE NEW YORK GANG. Sympathy for the Condemned Chicago An- archists—The Verdict Denounced. By Telegraph to the Posr-Disr Aron. NEW YORK, August 21.—The verdict given the Chicago anarchists caused great excite- ment among their comrades in this city yes- terday. Atalltheir headquarters and inthe various saloons members were gathered in large crowds discussing the situation. The Post-DISPATCH correspondent went to Black- well's Island to acquaint the noted Herr Most with the verdict and to learn what he thought of it, but he could not be seen. Justus Schwab was at his saloon on First street, surrounded by a numberof friends, all talking excitedly, the entrance of a stranger, however, causing their conversation to become subdued. Schwab, on being asked his opinion of the verdict, replied: ‘‘I have nothing to say, especially to men that look like you. You are a reporter, and your. colleagues at Chicago convicted my friends. They prova themselves to be police spies and agents. Lou ean blame them for not be- ing able to interview me. One of his friends was more outspoken, and said: The verdict is a gross outrage. It is the law-makers that are the murderersandthieves. They feed and fatten the rich and killus. Wewill have our revenge.’’ At the office of the Volkszeitung Mr. Gunzig, the assistant editor, said it was a class verdict. Over a dozen anarchists sat so dejected- ly in Fred. Hauk’s saloon in “Fifth street that the proprietor was un- happy because they didn’t talk so that they would become thirsty and drink beer. The Post-DISPATCH representative en- tered, and, seating himself at a table near by, waited patiently for the talk to begin. „»The $2,000 didn’t do them any good after all,’’ said a swarthy-looking man, as he brought his fist down onthe table with a bang. „Parsons was a fool to give himself up. He ought to have known better. His wife got him to do it,’’ suggested an insignificant little man. „Ah! When women begin to meddle with af- fairs outside of cooking and washing they are apt to make mischief,’’ gloomily responded the swarthy-looking individual. STILL HOPEFUL. „With Most in the Penitentiary and seven others sentenced to be hangea,’’ finally said a man who wanted to brighten up the others, we have still cause for hope. Look at our rifle corps. We have three companies com- priving over 300 members, and they meet to drillevery Tuesday and Thursday. Another company is about to start. Since the begining, we have sold over fifty of Most’s 310 rifles. The comedy in Chicago has ended just as expected. What other verdict could you expect of men who are in business in Chicago? Had they ren- dered a verdict other than they didthey would have been hounded by the police like dogs. They were frightened into convicting our comrades. I knew it wouid be so from the moment Judge Gary refused to have the case tried in another county. „»The capitalists have paid well for that ver- dict,’’ said an angry man, with around, big stomach. Jay Gould must have given a thousand or t Wo. Bovyeott the jury and their friends, said another. Let as ascertain where they have relatives in this city and place upon them the ban of a boycott. But are we going to sit bere and see Parsons, Fielden, Lingé and the rest hang without help from us? If it takes money to gain verdicts it will also take money to undo them.’ In Schlagg’s saloon, No. 216 Fifth street, the talk was wild and bitter. We have no news for reporters,’’ said the man behind the bar. ‘*Will you let the Post-DISPATCH’S readers know what you think of the verdict?’’ asked the reporter turning to the group. ‘‘The Post-DISPATCH’S readers?“ hoarsely shouted a black-bearded man; ‘‘what do they care forus? if they had their way they would hang us all. The anarchist has no right to live, they think. But wait; our time will come, and when it does, we'll show the news- papers and the capitalists little mercy. At another place the Post-DISPATCH reporter encouraged an anarchist by telling him that the verdict was outrazeous. Then the an- archist said: ‘‘These fellows in Chicago made a fatal mistake. It came out in the evidence in Chicago that 300 bombs were found in Lingg’s apartment after the discharge of the bomb. Do you know what so many bombs were for? Well, we intended to set them off in different parts of the country at à cer. tain time. But those fools in Chicago spoilt it. They fired off only one and see the mis- chief that it has done, If the 300 bombs would have been discharged at one time what good results would have met our cause! The au- thorities would have been so terror-stricken they ,wouldn’t have known which way to turn. 5 Railway Notes. Two car-loads of fine oil paintings for the art exhibit at the Exposition will arrive by the Lackawanna Line on Monday. They are valued at $300,000, and were secured through the ene of James Y. Fallen, west- bound agent of the Lackawanna. The St. Louis Association of General Passen- ger and Ticket Agents will hold its regular monthly meeting this afternoon at the office ot J. M. Chesbrough, Assistant G. P. A. of the Vandalia. It is given out that nothing ofany importance willbe transacted,and that rate matters will not be talked over. A Slight Fire. At 2:30 this morning a fire broke out among & lot of sacks and bed clothing in a room in the rear of Frank P. Waish’s saloon, northwest corner of Easton and Taylor avenues. A still STRICKEN BY STORM. DISASTROUS WORK OF THE RECENT-GALE IN TEXAS. The Town of Victoria Almost Totally Ruined—Over One Hundred Dwellings Demolished—Several Lives Lost and Many Persons Missing—Other Towns and Vil- lagesin Ruins. VICTORIA, Tex., August 21.—A disastrous wind storm visited the city yesterday, leaving destruction and desolation in its track. The wind blew a perfect hurricane. About 7 o'clock the morning east-bound passeuger train which was standing at the depot here was blown over on the platform. Several Das - sengers were on the train, but all of them es- caped uninjured. The freight depot and the Masonic Hall, both large buildings, are total wrecks, while the wnole colored section is almost literally swept from the earth. Two church steeples were blown down, and two churches unroofed. The High school build- ing and the jail were considerably damaged. Altogether there were about seventy-five houses demolished and 118 more orless damaged. Few build- ings escaped uninjured. Trees and mostof the shrubbery in the city were blown down and the streets were filled with debris. Business was entirely suspended. The loss is roughly es- timated at $100,000. Old citizens say that it was the mostterrible storm ever known in Vic- toria. The telegraph wires are all down and there is no connection South. AT CUERO. News from Cuero says the storm was very disastrous to property there also, Advices from the country say the storm was very violent, damaging crops and destroying property. A special train from Indianola brings the sad news as to that place. A relief party that went down to it report the following: When the train ar- rived within four miles of Indianola, the tracks were washed out very badly and were partly gone. The party walked within half a mile of the town in water waist deep, and could go no further. They saw Mr. Clements across the bayou. The bridge was washed away. He fsaid we should have a train there very early in the morning as everybody wanted to get away. They have nothing to eat and no clothes.“ It is reported that the lower end of the town is gone from Mrs. Logus’ tothe ice-house, on both sides of the street. The wharf is also gone. There are supposed to be MANY LIVES LOST, as many persons are missing. The only body found was that of the sister- in-law of Mr. Hodges of Cuero, Tex. It was discovered this side of a stream abouttwo miles from the town, lying in the water by the side of the traek. THE MISSING. Some houses were burned. The fire is sup- posed to have been caused by the lamps in the falling houses. Among the persons missing are Dr. LEWIS, Carr. RIED, Dr. ROSECRANS, MRS. SHEPPARD AND FAMILY, Mrs. HODGES AND TWO CHILDREN. Henry Sheppard was found across the lake badly bruised, but still alive. Mrs. Max Luther lost her two children. Oneof them died in her arms, SHE WANTED MORE FREEDOM, Ida Granrath Disappears With $400 of Her Father’s Savings. N. Granrath is mourning the departure of his daughter, Ida, with $400 of his accumula- ations. He runs a saloon, boarding-house and beer garden at No. 25 South Seventh street, a house that was formerly a disreputable re- sort. He came here two years ago from Chicago and opened the present place shortly afterward. His daughter who is now about 14 years old and, in her type, pretty, wasspoiled associations ip which she was thrown, and as a neighbor expressed it, became quite fresh. She always complained of the dullness of her life in the electric light station opposite saw her running away from the house, looking back in a frightened way and carrying a basket and valise. They intormed her father A few minutes later and search was made for her without success last night. It was ascertained soon alter she had gone that nearly $400 in bills that had been leftin a wardrobe in the room occupied by Granrath and his wife were gone. Ida had been given the key a few minutes previous to her departure in order to get some things from the wardrobe for her mother. She had then taken advant- age of her opportunity and taken the money. It wus also learned this morning that she purchased a ticket for Cincinnati and a telegram was sent to the conductor of last night’s O. & X. train to locate her, but no answer bad been received at a late hour this afternoon. Ida Granrath is described as 14 years old, well- developed for her years, in fact, appearing to be older. She wore apink striped seer- sucker dress on leaving the house, but carried a cloth dress with her. She is dark, has black eyes and wears a mop bang. She left home once before, then on account of a young man, but her parents do not tnink thereisany such feature in the present disappearance. LEVI WAS LOOTED. Because He Violently Disturbed the Peace of J. T. McNamara. When the case of Joseph Levi, charged with disturbing the peace, was called in the First District Police Court this morning his at- torney, 8. 8. Bass, asked for a continuance until Monday, because both he and his client were Hebrews and to-day was their Sabbath. City Attorney Dyer objected to a continuance be- ing granted on that grounds as two continu- ances had already been had, and the law did not make any distinction between Saturday and any other day. The case went to trial. The prosecuting witness, J. T. McNamara, the bootmaker who has a store on Walnut street, under the south- ern Hotel, testified that Levi had visited his store and demanded a dollar which he (McNa- mara) had borrowed from him. McNamara told him to call the next day and he would pay him, and then Levi said he would raise a racket there until the money was paid him. He stopped men passing along the street and told them McNamara was a dead- beat, and attracted quite a crowd about the place. Levi denied having stopped people or raised any such disturbance, and said he had called on McNamara several times for the dollar and was unable to collect it, the shoemaker always putting him off. Me- Namara’s statement was corroborated by two other. witnesses. Judge Cady fined Levi costs. Death of Mrs. Ann S. Stephens. New York, August 21.—Mrs. Ann Sophia Stephens, the novelist,died yesterday at New- port in her 74th year. Wants His Johnny.

The Triennial Conclave Entertainment Com- mittee has made a contract with Jas. Smith & Son to furnish ice-water along the line of march of the great procession Tuesday, September 21. Sixty casks of a ca- pacity of sixty gallons each will be furnished. Twenty-five of these will be placed as the rendezvous on Second, Third and Main streets near Washington avenue. hese be refilled as often as they are 3 corps of men sufficient to keep them filled will be on hand. Thirty-five casks will be strung along Pine street from Sixteenth to Twenty-first, and filty men with buckets will. puss up and down the marching line distributing water. There will be no halt here. It is esti- mated that between 7,000 and 8,000 gallons of ice water will be consumed during Tuesday's parade. The Knight Templar barrels will doubtless be supplemented by private barrels along the line. fe is expected that, “us in other cities uring Similar gatherings, citizens will put barreis und casks of ice water in front of their residences and business houses for the benefit of the visitors. No arrangements have as yet been made for refreshments on the river excursions. It is possible that a light lunch will be served on the boat and lemonade instead of ice-water. The two boats—the Chouteau and Helena—will probably not be allowed totake out more than 2,000 each on every excursion. As there are six excursions to be made, 24,000 visitors can be accommo- dated. EVERYTHING FREE. There will be no tickets for the excur- sion,’’ said Chairman Parson this afternoon. Our idea has been to make everything as free and open as possible. The trouble at other gatherings has been to obtain tickets for various entertainments. The Knights have been obliged to spend more time getting tickets than the entertainment was worth. We want to throw open the whole town to our visitors. We want the Knight Templar uniform to be a passport to everything. I do not think any one is going to buy a uniform and put it on merely for the purpose of stealing a ride on the river or a glass of wine. Of course there may be an unequal division and some people may be left behind on some of the excursions. ut there will be room jn the end for all who want to go.’’ The line of march of the parade has not been completely made up yet. The procession will be made up in twenty divisions with 1,000 men in each division. The State commanderies will be kept together. Mis- souri will probably make up one division. PROSTRATED BY HEAT. George Sawin, representing an Oak Grove, III., Commandery numbering seventy-five men, came to the city this morning to make arrangements for accomodations. W hile in the rooms of the Triennial Committee he was prostrated by heat. Dr. Robinson was called and removed him to the Planters’ House. The Entertainment Committee will hold a regular meeting at4o’clock this afternoon to receive reports of sub-committees. BOUNCING BRIGHAM. The Consul at Paso Del Norte to be Made a Scapegoat. WASHINGTON, August 21.—No intimation has been received at the State Department of the alleged purpose of the Mexicans to pardon Cutting as soon as he shall have entered upon his term of imprisonment, but there is a disposition to believe that some way will soon be found to release him and thus to get rid ofthe annoying complication. Should this be done merely as anact of clemency on the partofthe Mexican authorities, and without any avowed renun ciation of the claims of extra- territorial jurisdiction, this Government will then undertake the task of securing such a renunciation so far as American citi- zens are concerned since the claim is held to be abhorrent to allthe principles of modern international law, as recognized and practiced by governments which make any pretence to civilization. Jumping on Bingham. By Telegraph to the POST-DISPATCH. WASHINGTON, D. C., August 21.—The Amer- ican Consul, Brigham, at Paso del Norte, will undoubtedly be called upon to resign by Sec- retary Bayard immediately after Special Envoy Sedgwick has completed his mission and made his report to the State Department. Some one has got to be sacrificed, and as the State Department is | ee ee eee 1 | 1 — —ä— — — daily growing stronger in the belief that the and longed for larger freedom. Yesterday men facts in the case were not fairly and impar- tially given by Mr. Brigham, it is necessary to ask his resignation. Whatever may have been the errors of others, it has been decided at the State Department that Brigham ‘‘must 0. Long before the Cutting case arose zrigham wus known asa sensationalist, and had, on two or three occasions, contributed largely to border sensations for the newspapers at El Paso, when there were few facts upon which to basethem. A petition was received a few days ago at the State Department signed by a number of the most prominent citizens of Paso del Norte, asking for his removal. This, however, was hardly necessary as it was nurposed to have this done, though the petition may serve to precipitate the call for the resignation. BARBARA’S FLIGHT. A Young Married Woman Disappears From Home Leaving a Note. John Burbach, through A. A. Paxson, en- tered a suit in the Circuit Court to-day seeking a decree of divorce from Barbara, his wife. They were married on the 8th of April, ofthe present year. Yesterday upon his re- turn home Mr. Burbach found the following note from his wife lying upon the table: DISAPPEARED. Iam gone! Nobody knows where. I am gone and never will return. Leave my things here. Just move yours. Then I will see about mine. BARBARA. Mr. Burbach alleges that his wife left home on the 22d of July and did not return for five days. She offered no explanation for her absence and refused to give ber hus- band any satisfaction in that regard. On sev- eral other occasions she absented herseif in the same mysterious manner, and when her husband returned from work he would find the door locked. She often quarreled with him and refused to prepare his meals, More than once she struck bim and made use of shocking language. Her hus- band alleges that she endangered ber life a short time since by taking measures with view of procuring an abortion. GOT HIM TIGHT. Geronimo Surrounded by Mexican Troops— Capt.

It is officially reported that he is anxious to give him- self rp. If the Mexicans should demand him there might be afforded a way of extrication out of the difficulty. ——— ———— — Each of the two Republican parties of St. Louis will “‘put the best foot foremost’’ at Sedalia. The great ‘‘reguiarity’’ von- test will be watched with interest, and it is thought that somebody will be consid- erably flattened out before the match game ends. Oh WE know nothing personally about Mr. SEBREE of the State Auditor’s office in Jefferson City, who has been chosen Sec- retary of the Democratic State Commit- tee, but it is always better to choose for such a position a citizen who does not de- pend on State patronage for his bread and butter. 0 ——— A WEEKLY magazine is to be started in England whose mission will be to prove that the earth is flat. This periodical ought to be edited by aman who thinks that the civil war in America is still going on; or by one of the statesmen who insist that a silver dollar will purchase only 73 cents worth of pickled pork. THE Globe-Democrat is mad with the Missouri Democrats for nominating ex- Confederates for office, and is equally in- eensed at the action of the Democrats of the Second Congressional District of Kan- sas in nominating an old Abolitionist for Congress. Such a heavy attack of discon- tent warrants the suspicion that our con- temporary has been latterly very rudely shaken up. . n. THE effectiveness of the Belfast police must be seriously crippled when they are liable to be arrested and tried for killing or wounding rioters in their attempts to preserve order. This featureof the situa- tion is remarkable and forms a serious hindrance to the prompt restoration of peace and security. But a careful analy- sis will show that the evil is due in a great measure to the plan on whieh Ireland is governed. en a> _— — LA rn. ACTING SECRETARY FAIRCHILD has con- firmed the appointment of a chief clerk made by Appraiser HarrRIGAN and has thereby disposed of Surveyor LANCASTER’Ss theory that the Appraiser is “my clerk.’ There is every reason for hoping that Mr. LANCASTER may not dispose of the Custom- house as he disposed of his own property when he was dodging Federal judgments against himself, but the only adequate preventive against a sea of troubles in that office is the removal of Mr. LANCAs- TER. | THE district delegates ora large ma- jerity of them knew not what they were doing when they gave the Democratic or- ganization a State Central Committee controlled absolutely by the Vice-Presi- dent of the St. Louis & San Franciseo Railroad and his political body-guard of railroad attorneys and henchmen. It may be too late to correct the very grave mistakes which the district delegates made. But O’Day’s victory over the party cam be rendered a barren one at least, if the Democratic papers of the State will only shéw up the committee as it is, putting the people. on their guard against it and keeping the railroad ma- or four other members who do not wear the O’ Day collar might also do some good by resigning and refusing to serve as respectable lay-figures for a committee 80 constituted. THE ANARCHIST CASES. The conviction of the Chicago anarchists will serve an important purpose in teach- ing the lawless classes the clear distinc- tion between liberty and license. An ex- aggerated and misleading opinion obtains ‘among the ignorant classes of Europe in reference to the supposed boundless free- dom of speech and action enjoyed in America. The savage liberty of a state of nature is inconsistent with any semblance of law or government. The freedom to do and say what one pleases implies @ fixed limit to his deeds and words beyond which he must net go. When the unrestrained acts and utterances of one man abridge the freedom and security of his neighbor or menace the security of the institutions under which he lives, the law whose func- tion it is to protect life and property, and to conserve government and society, must be at once invoked both asa protector and avenger. It may be stated as a general truth that in America men are allowed to preach any -doctrine they please; but when their ut- terances connect themselves with lawless or murderous deeds in the relation of cause and effect, then the utterances be- come a part of the ¢rime, and the man who delivers them is an accomplice of the man who violently breaks the law or slays his neighbor. On the same principle mere speculative opinions in opposition to the right of people to own property cannot be punished as crimes in them- selves, but when a man uses them to in- cite to robbery or burglary the expression of such opiuions become a part of the crime. The Chicago auarchists, doubtless, will be punished with speciul severity because their crime is in the nature of a widely extended conspiracy, and therefore vastly more dangerous. In such a case the ac- complices of the chief criminals must be punished more rigorously than the ac- complices in ordinary cases. The forma- tion of a permanent and organized con- spiracy is a most grave crime in itself, and the Chicago authorities must perform the double task of punishing individuals and extirpating the guilty conspiracy through which alone their crime was made possible. — . — — — POLITICS AND INSPIRATION. Mr. SAMUEL N. EwrnG of Minneapolis, Minn., publishes a circular letter to the Congress of the United States urging it “to request the Governments of the world and dignitaries of the various churches, re- ligious societies, or ecclesiastical bodies, including His Holiness, the Pope of Rome, and the dignitaries of the Jewish Church, to meet in Washington City the first day of October, 1886, to consider the practica- bility of returning to the worship of one Gop, the ruler of the Universe, at the earliest practicable moment.” It will be seen at a glance that in the breadth and liberality of his religious views the author of the document is no “‘slouch’’ of a man. Mr. EwinG follows this appeal to Con- gress with an appended announcement to the world that he is the Curist of Reve- lation,’’ and he proclaims that the Bible is Closed. He states, further, that it is not inspired throughout; that the first chapters of Genesis and Matthew are false on their face; that there are nosuch things as hell, devil and original sin; that Curisr is not the SonofGop. He intimates that the principles of the Constitution of the United States shall prevail as a substitute for Holy Writ; but such a change would be bad for various reasons. There are many people who neverread the Bible, but a great many more who never look at the Federal Constitution. Such astartling reform would exclude a large proportion of our statesmen and politicians from the ark of safety. Mr. EwiNd, after proclaiming himself the CHRIST of Revelation, announces him- self on a separate circular as a candidate for the office of Governor of Minnesota and solicits the votes of his fellow-citizens in very commonplace language that af- fords no apparent evidence of inspiration. In a foot-note he advises the Prohibition- ists to collapse and vanish as a distinct organization and to support the Demo- craticand Republican parties according to their individul opinions and principles. Mr. EwinG, for an inspired man, has a very earthy and carnal eye to business. The fact that he is not appalled at the size of his varied contract shows that he has all the firmness that is necessary in an asp.ring man. ts THE NEW “LEISURE CLASS.“ It is announced that we have at last in New York City an absolute and unadul- terated leisure class, an aristocracy of idleness, the ultimate fruitage of hoarded and inherited wealth. Of course a leis- ure class’’ in the common acceptation of the phrase is nothing new even in Amer- ica. There are wealthy people every- where who are not compelled to work, many of whom have retired from busi- ness and enjoy themselves in com- fortable idieness. But the leis- ure class“ ef New York in its extreme development is based on the idea that its members must engage in no oceupation whatever and withhold all so- cial recognition from those who, either from necessity or inclination, engage in business and earn money. The best so- ciety,’’ as viewed from the new leisure- class standpoint, is that which cannot af- jority of the committee under jealous sur - velllance. The one farmer and the three’ a, * 5 24 * — ford to mingle on terms of social equality ployed by society and who receive its money cannot form an integral part of it. This latest product of social evolution is the final outcome of the uncontrolled power of money andthe brutal self-asser- tion of vulgar wealth. The new leisure class” recognizes this power as the only social force worthy of consideration or recognition. Fine manners, good breed- ing, culture and honorable descent may count for something, but are not worthy to be mentioned in the same connection with the worshiped and jealous fetioh that is supreme over all. The new leisure class represents the antithesis of the American idea. It can be regarded only as an ex- ceptional and monstrous growth. To its members it may appear as the formation of a new and rare aristocracy; to sensible people it looks more like adevelopment of snobbery and a segregation of imbecility. * _ = —— -S GOOD READING. Mr. N. O. NELSON, who has been men- tioned in connection with the Republican nomination for Congress in the Ninth District, writes to us from Paris that he cannot be a candidate. We print his letter in full with no further comment than to recommend its perusal as one of the best contributions to current politics. There is more sense in it than in a thousand pages of the Congressional Record. The letter is as follows: To the Editor of the Post Dispatch: My name bas been mentioned in your paper as a candidate for Congress. While thanking, you and the friends who have suggested the honor, I beg to say thatI have not been and cannot become a candidate. Were my qualifi- cations adequate my duties in St. Louis would prevent my absence for two or more years. I trust, however, that candidates will be nomi- nated who shall represent intelligent and hon- est convictions, especially upon that chief problem in American society to-day, the relations of capital and labor. It would be unfortunate to select a man who understood no more of labor than its poverty, and no more of capital than its power. It would be equally unfortunate to be represent- ed by any one who has read history to so little purpose that he believes it possible or just to silence great popular protests with nothing more rational than gatling guns. When 800, 000 of our American brothers are out of work and 5,000,000 more stand between the two fires of strikes on the one hand and starvation wages ontbe other, itis the simple duty of those more favored to caréfully seek for rem- edies. Our warehouses are full, our coun- try is rich, our resources abundant, and yet our pauper listis excessive and growing. If we will not in some degree, at least, remedy this of our own accord and eonscience peaceably and legally, it wil come, as in all past history it has come, by revolt and vio- lence. All the seeret leagues and parade of guns will not mend the wrong or disarm the danger. The cry of ‘‘Socialism,’’ which has been freely raised at such of us as urged coolness and arbitration when this irrepressible con- flict came to the surface, is as harmless as the cry of abolitionism was in the, fifties. Whenthe lawlessness of great corporations is met by the lawlessness incident to strikes, it is the part of a good citizen to cousider the contributory cause as weil as the immediate violence. Hot denunciation and a quick resort to arms is not the best way to Settle great disputes or preserve a Republic. Arbitration is not a universal cure-all, but it has in other countries and can in ours go far, not only to compromise present differences, but to remove the future occasion, Dynamite on the one side will not do it, neither will militia and secret leagues on the other. Both are un-American and imply the gravest threat to our institutions. When we send to the same State’s Prison the men who bribe our legislatures and the bomb-throwing anarchists, pay fair living wages and submit disputes to impartial arbitration, we shall have few strikes and no riots. This issue is becoming paramount and Con- gress will be charged with careful deliberation and important legislation. IT appeal to the party managers to bury their differences, so far at least as iecgislative and judicial nominations are concerned, and unite upon candidates of intelligence, coolness and sound convictions. Such candidates of either party will be elected. Very respeetfully, Paris, August 5. N. O. NELSON. — —— © et — Bur the course of the POST- DISPATCH is one thing and the action of the Democratic party quite another.—|Jefferson City Tribune. So thought two Supreme Court Judges, who,liketheir Clerk, the conductor ot the Tribune, thought that political favor and promotion could be obtained only by fawn- ing at the feet of the railroad kings. But, like their Clerk who conducts the Tribune, their hind sight at last told them that their foresight of the Democratic party’s action was all wrong. For further information on this subject see record of ballotings for Supreme Court J udge, and don’t fail to read the Fifth plank, that beautiful, brand new plank of the Demo- cratic platform, and compare it with the editorials the Tribune has been printing for a year past in favor of the right of the railroads to discriminate contrary to the Constitution. rn a — LIKE a man climbing up the walls of a well, alternately securing a higher foot- hold on either side by pressure from the foothold already gained on the opposite side, O’Day has climbed higher in politics from each promotion as a railroad man, and higher as railroad man from each promotion in politics. He owes his railroad position largely to his sup- posed adroitness and influence as a polit- ical manipulator, and he owes his position in politics entirely to his supposed control of railroad resources and influence. Loosen his grip on one and his hold on the other is gone. In view of the resolution adopted by the convention the other day, is it not about time for the Democrats to repudiate and renounce him as the boss of their State organization? eo > - AN impartial su y of the Southern situation leads te ‘f conclusion that the condition of the negroes will continue to improve as long as the control of the Southern State governments is kept out of the hands of the Republicans. They have been fairly tested as rulers and Leg- | with people who work; that persede ent ’ value that they laid their hands on was also found wanting in a very little while | after the contact. The Southern whites ‘can most effectually show their concern for the blacks by protecting them from anything like a recurrence of Republican rule. 3 Ir is the duty of American juries to make anarchy as unprofitable as possible. Ir is thought that a cooling cabbage-leaf worn in some hats may sometimes take root on its resting - place. Tur chief use of the House of Lords is to be addressed as My Lords and Gentlemen’’ in the Queen's speech. REPORTS of the President's success as a fish- erman will require stronger confirmation than Dan LAMONT’S indorsement. — — THE ‘‘Square Deal Club’’ ought to be fully satisfied with the improved prospect of hou- est handling of the builot-boxes. THE delimitation of the Afghan boundary may have tobe completed by the grandchil- dren of the present commissioners. FOR obvious reasons, the railroad free pass is not expected to show up in the Republican Stats Convention in overflowing abundance. Ir the Belfast police had the sort of support Uat is enjoyed by the Chicago police there would not be such a commotion in cobble- stones. Ir is announced that the Mexicans are pre- paring tor war. There are several ways to, prepare for war. One way is to pack up and get ready to ‘‘skedaddle.’’ "HE W.C.T.U. ladies have not yet ex- n essed themselves about Judge HENRY’s lan- guage in reference to his discomfiture. Said language was not volapuk; it was the ebul- lient dialect of exasperation. — AN Englishman has just frozen to death while trying to keep cool on the Matterhorn. We use a different kind of horn in this country for the same purpose, which is not so fatal in spite of its extreme elevation. ——k˖ JAY GOULD’S polities depend on the State in which he happens to be operating. There is nothing to conflict with his plan of beinga Democrat in Missouri, a Republican in Illinois and an Independent in doubtful States. 2 * — FOREIGN ECHOES. “ALL the indications from the East, remarks a prominent Conservative weekly journal, ‘*pomts to an early reopening of the Eastern question. The disarmament of the Turkish troops has been countermanded, and every penny on which the impoverished govern- ment at Constantinople can lay hands is being expended inthe purchase of war material. The statement made recently that Russia would propose a concession of territory in dis- charge of the owing war indemnity has been. amply confirmed, as also that the Sultan would resist the proposals. * * * Russian and Austrian agents are now scouring Macedonia trying to raise revolt, and already in the distriets be- tween Bulgaria and the Egeans, rebel bands are reported as forming. While this is going on the Turkish authorities are reduced to in- action, knowing full well that the old atrocity cry will be raised by Russiato justify imme- diate action, and that armament by Russia will certainly be followed by one on the part of Austria. Ir isa remarkable and somewhat ominous fact that the three most important members of the new cabinet—Lord Randolph Church- hill, Lord Salisbury and Sir M. Hicks-Beach— are all in bad health. Lord Randolph looks no better, but rather worse and more sallow after his trip to Norway than he did before it; Lord Salisbury is very broken and shaky, and Sir Michael’s bad state of health is one of the reasons privately given for his removal from the House of Commons to Ireland. THE German traveler, Lieut. Von Nimptsch of the German urmy, has discovered a river in the course of his explorations in Africa likely to be of material value to traders with the Congo. Lieut. Von Nimptsch regards it as being of even greater importance to commerce than the Congo itself. The latter in its course from the Southeast makesa very wide bend to the North and then descends again to the At- lantic, a very large tract of country being embraced in this curve. Within this curveisthe river Kassai, the subject of this note. Wescribing their journey the traveler says that as tar as Luebn, the Kassai flows through wide plains, well adapted for cultiva- tion, pasturage, forests of palm trees and gutta-percha plantations. There are many villages on the banks and the travelers met with great civility in all of them save one, the inhabitants of which fled at their approach. There isagreat deal of ivory all along the Kassai, and large pieces of the finest quality were readily given in exchange for empty boxes andtins. They discovered several aftiu- ents of the Kassai, and they caleu- lated that they were navigable for a distance of 20 miles. The river is also a valuable waterway. The stream has several ailluents constituting a network of navigable water extending over more than 3,000 miles of country and practically connect- ing the lower portion of the Congo with the region of the great lakes. FRANCE is said to feel very keenly the rebuff she has received from tie Vatican in the mat ter of the Pope’s decision to send Mgr. Agliarai as Papal Nuncio to Pekin, in place of a French prelate. France has_always consid- ered herself and has been considered the guardian of the Catholie Chureh in China and she ig disposed to suspect the finger of Bismarek in the decision which bereaves her of her ancient glory. In point of fact, it is chiefly owing to the requests of the Chinese Government that the Italian delegate has been named and partly from avery natural desire on the part of the Holy See to increase the influence of the church in the East. Hitherto Italian, Spanish and Belgian missionaries have traveled in China with French passports, and this small matter alone has aroused mech unpleasant comment. It is doubtless as much in the in- terests of peace as in those of religion that the important change bas been made. VISITORS to Paris and lovers of the beautiful will be glad to learn that the Are de Triomphe de ' Etoile at the top of the Champs Elysees is to be deprived of the hiteous allegorical fig - ures which have for some years surmounted it. They would have been removed years ago by the beauty-loving French Nation, but for the difficulty and expense of the undertaking. The arc was erected by Napoleon after the bat- tle of Austerlitz to commemorate his victe- ries, and the sculptor, M. Falquiere, was per- mitted to thus disfigure the arch to his own mind and at his own expense.

The position of editor has been offered to Mr. Frank Harris, editor of the Evening News. THERE is a clase of the genus ‘‘nuisance’’ in England from which we, as Americans, are exempt. A man named Rowdon has recently been sentenced to eighteen months’ impris- onment for forcing his attentions upon a young lady who had repeatedly requested him to go about his business and leave her in peace. He followed her to Ireland, to the Con- tinent, to picnics, balis, parties and flower-shows. He invaded her home and forced his way into her privacy, —not for a short time only, but year after year until the unhappy girl’s friends, after trying every other resource, were foreed to have re- course to the lawin order to get rid of him. Nor is this a solitary case of the kind. There have been several others precisely like it of late years, and in each case the man was either penniless or a bankrupt. The most notable case was that of Dunn, who inflicted similar attentions on Lady Burdett-Coutts, and who, in ¢ umon with Rowdon, was a barrister. ‘ RECENTLY King Christian of Denmark was the bero in an adventure which proved that even Kings may be heroes. The monarch and a companion were riding through the forest of Klampenborg accompanied by a groom. On a narrow road in the forest they meta char-a-bane containing « party. The carriage stopped to let the King and Duke pass, and the company rose to show their respect. Unfortunately the horses of the carriage became unmanageable and an aged gentieman of the party lost his balance and fell out of the char- u-banc in such a position that one of his feet got entangled im the carriage and his head was under one of the wheels. Quick as thought King Christian leapt from his horse and caught hold of the gentleman’s head, which he care- fuNy lifted while his companion rode forward and seized ‘the carriage horses by the bridle. In this way the gentleman’s life was saved but the King lost His valuable horse, which had seized the opportunity to run away and injure itself fatally against some palisades. The King has since officially stated that he does not wish any one whois riding in a carriage to rise when they meet hin. AN exhibition of records and objects, illus- trative of the history of the Jews in England, is to be heldin London next spring.

From the New York WoRLD. A diplomatie blunder is an awkward thing at best, and it appears to be no longer a mat- ter of doubt that Mr. Bayard has committed one in his over-hasty demand for the imme- diate release of Cutting. The Secretary is in an embarrassed position, caused by his neglect to inform himself fully of the facts of the situation before venturing upon an act which means either a backing down on our part or war if Mexico declines to comply. Having thus acted imprudently he has adopted the unwise plan of getting out of temper because reasonable people do not in- dorse him. This frame of mind has led him to intimate that Mexican gold has been util- ized to array public sentiment against him, and that unworthy political motives are enlisted in preventing him from carrying out his policy. Notwithstanding these dire insinuations, Con- gressman Reagan of Texas, a Democratic leader and a man whose views possess much more than ordinary weight and who ought to be wellinformed in the premises, has just ventured to state in Galveston that Cutting, in the light of late information, ‘‘is absolutely amenable to Mexican law,’’ and it does not seem to him that there isanything inthe case that should give rise to international trouble. Fortunately in this case our superiority over Mexico will enable us to withdraw our demand it necessary without any sense of National humiliation. We can stand, diplomatically speaking, a bull in our china shop’’ better than any other civilized nation in the world, as was evidenced in our experience with Mr. Biaine; but itis better, all things considered, to have a sagacious and cautious man in the State De- partmeat. The Supreme Court’s Organ Grieving Over the Fifth Plank. From the Jefferson City Tribune of the 20th. It was a decided mistake on the part of the Central Committee to hold the Convention in St. Louis. This fact is now palpable to all who are familiar with the proceedingsof the State Convention. Hereafter, as in the past, all State Conventions should be held in Jefferson City. No doubt the men most instrumental in removing the convention to St. Louis see their mistake now. Certainly five ont of every six delegates would bave found better accommo- dations here than in St. Louis. — The Greenback Better Than Glory. From the Shreveport (La.) Times. Fame is a transient, evanescent thing. Here is Dr. Carver, the hero of a hundred well- fought contests with the rifle and the shotgun, the man whose marksmanship has won the ap- plause of two continents, actually submitting to being sold out by a Sheriff, whose rusty Colt would searce do service in a street en counter. The Price of Wales had given Car. ver a handsome watch in the shape ofa dog; the Emperor of Germany had bestowed a dia- mond ring on the marksman, but all, alas! have now gone under the Sheriff's hammer. Verily, the greenback is better than glory. Politics in Pennsylvania. From the Jackson (Mich.) Patriot. It must be very hard work to carry on a lively political campaign in Pennsylvania, where the candidates of both parties are in perfect accord on the only vital question the people care a straw about.

THE TREASURY CONFIRMS HARRIGAN’S APPOINTRE FOR EXAMINER. = A Stormy Interview Between the Surveyor and the Appraiser, Which Resulted in a Brush Fight The Surveyor’s Scheme to Have the Collection of Customs Made by His Friends Balked-A Black-Eye for Park Lantern Dick. The following telegram concerning the de- cision on an official contest is of considerable local interest: eee ee w, D. O. Augus Acting Sec- rr Fairchild has announced the confirmation of Thomas Haggerty as Chief Examiner for the Appraiser of Merchandise at St. Louis. This is the position for which Sur- veyor Lancaster and Congressman John M. Glover made the only common Cause on rec- ord in recommending the appointment of Franois B. Ryan. Haggerty was nominated by Appraiser Harrigan. It is supposed Lanucas- ters friends duped Glover into an endorse- ment. This is the end of the fight between the Ap- praiser and the Surveyor of this Port, in which the latter official bas received a deeply tinted black eye. In the matter of the appointment of Chief Examiner Lancaster made a bitter fight to win, but has strained the friendship of Senator Vest, his associate, and disgusted the Treasury Department, with which he is con- nected. The true inwardness of the fight has cropped out at its close. LANCASTER’S SCHEME. Shortly after Maj. Harrigan was appointed Appraiser, Surveyor Lancaster notified Exam- iner Chas. Mesnier that another appointment was contemplated. In the meantime the Ap“ praiser had given out that no changes would be made until he had full opportunity to know what the best interests of the service demand ed. He ultimately decided to make one change in the office, and introduced the wan he selected to the Surveyor, who, in the regu- iar order of business, forwards all applica- tions to Washington. Lancaster then said that he intended to make the appoint- ments for the Appraiser’ office. A stormy interview occupa between the Surveyor and th Appraiser about June 1 in the former's office at the Custom-house. Lancaster insinuated that he intended to make the Appraiser’s appoint- ments and Harrigan replied ‘‘Why didn’t you appoint the Appraiser too?’’ “Well I propose to appoint a fit man with certain knowledge as Chief Examiner.’’ ‘‘Iiave you selected that man to be my con- fdential assistant? I ask because I wantto know what boat I'm in. es, sir, I think Mr. Frank B. Ryan is the fittest man for the place. Hereishis indorse- ment by Congressman Glover. This is an im- »ortant position and I am responsible on my Cond and there isa possibility of the man in that position entering into collusion with im- porters.’’ Nov, let me understand you,’’ said the Appraiser. ‘‘This man might go into a dis- honest arrangement with importers to com- mit fraud, and I must blindly adopt and sign his work. That’s the position you want to put me in. Now. I’li tell you if you want se- curity for the man Iput there III give you a $50,000 bond right here and now. I don’t think you’ve got aright to force my confiden- tial clerk on me. I do, returned Lancaster hotly. ‘‘I’il make that appointment, and if you think vou have got any rights you had better assert them. „Well. vou'll not make this appointment. You had better keep cool, and I'll try and as- sert my rights.“ Lancaster angrily arose from his desk while delivering his speech, and, after rejoining, Harrigan picked up his hat and withdrew with his friend. Lancaster foliowed them out and mude several milder approaches, but received short answers from nis visitors, who parted on the Custom-bouse steps. Since then a WARM UNDERGROUND FIGHT has been waged. Harrigan’s friends went to the front in the fight as soon as the facts be- came known and the Senators had the case laid before them. They were digusted with Dick, as they regarded: his action only asa hlt for patronage, Which caused scan- dal. A party Treasury decision rendered by Secretary Folger tor Chicago was the only law inthe case. Acting Secretary Fairchild stated thatunder the present Administration Lan- caster was the oniy Surveyor or Collector of any port or district who had attempted this interference with the Appraiser. At Wasnh- ington the case was presented in a new light. It was suggested that instead of a patrohage fight Lancaster wanted to name a man tor the most important customs place at this port, whose work must be adopted without ques- tion by the Appraiser, who would go to the Penitentiary on his own signature if the ex- aminer was dishonest. Taking one con- sideration with another and the char- acter and reputation of the Surveyor in particular Harrigan's friends advised him toresign if Lancaster was upheld. in the meantime Harrigan offered the disputed place to his first choice, who dectined in favor of Mr. Thos. Haggerty. Lancaster’s friends at Washington withdrew their support from the Surveyor whose action in this connection did notescape suspicion. Though he had the Treasury decision in his favor, Lancaster was forced to take water with his man, and lLiarri. gans nominee was confirmed and has taken his place in the Appraiser’s office. Mr. Chas. Mesnier was seen this morning, and when asked about his resignation suid that Lancaster was informal and irregular in his hurry to make a vacancyin the Examiner's place. His orders for my resignation for July 1 were countermanded by Maj. Harrigan, who treated me like a gentieman. As for Lan- caster, he’s too well known for me to throw any light on his character.“ Will Open Next Wednesday at Noon The new Delicatessen Dairy Lunch, The finest lunch-room in the world, 118 North Fourth street.

NEW YORK, August 21,—The trouble between the merchants and the Trunk Line Railroads relative to the classification of cotton piece goods has been amicably settled on an experi- mental basis. That is, a rate of 50 cents per 100 pounds from New York to Chicago has been offered by Commissioner Fink as a concession to the merchants’ demands. This offer has deen accepted provisionally by the merchants, To make it effective the agreement drawn up by the Commissioner now needs only the signatures of the railroads who are engaged with the trunk lines in the transportation of merchandise and those of the shippers of treight, The goods on which this rate of 50 cents per hundred has been fixed are calicoes, ginghams, sheetingsgjand shirt - ings, bleache or unblenohed, shirtings, stripes and checks, corset jeans, colored cain- brics, enameled cloth, table oilcloth, apron checks, single-faced cotton flannels, cotton- ades, deniins, ticks, ducks, drills, eotton weep, yarn or grain bags, and ind of twines. These may be shipped either in original or 28 sorted packages upon condition designed rotect the railroad companies from impo- Sition. The packages containing these goods are to be stencilled with the words: Cotton piece goods, or with the aames of the arti- cles in the packages and also with the name of the shipper. If deception is practiced in de- scribing the goods and the deception is de- tected, the party — the talse shipment is to be thereafter required to pay regular class rates on all future shipments.

The natural effect of pools is to strengthen prices in the lines of the combination. A weakening of the organization lowers the price readily. Highwines fell off rap- idiy when it was known that the whisky pool which is known as the Western Exporters’ Association was in a bad way. The return of confidence raised the price, and as a consequence of the visit of Buffalo!“ Miller, President of the pool, and its results, highwines advanced to-day from to 51. 10. Mil- ler succeeded in settling the dif- ferences at this point and the preliminary work for the incorporation of the association as suggested in these columns a few days since is well under way. A rumor was current that the Rock Springs distillery was to beshut down and kept quiet with the Sessinghaus plant, but distillers deny this, saying that the three distilleries formerly in operation, Rock Spring, Mound City and Teuscher’s, will dontinue to work and Sessinghaus will remain quiet. The latter is preparing ta run, however. His plant has been resurveyed by the Internal Revenue officials and he will be in condition to Start about September6. He had announced his intention of running before Miller came and began preparations, aud if he has changed his mind he has not ceased to pre- His distillery never was operated. It was. taken into the pool 4s s00n as eompleted, and he was allowed several cents a bushel on a limited percentage of capacity as shown by the n- ternal Revenue survey, I, 120 bushels per diem. A8 four galions of spirit are free ge to every bushel it appears that the pool has kept out of the market by this idle- ness 4,480 gallons ofspirit per day. There has been no deficiency however. The Teuscher has capacity for 2,045 bushels and the Mound City 1,710 bushels, while the Rock Springs is only surveyed for 987 bushels. The pool has limited produc- tion to less than 40 per cent of capacity, and for the present month the limit is 28 per cent. How long the present renewed confidence willlast is a question that depends for an- swer upon the completion of the pool or- ganization. A gentleman concerned in whisky said this morning: ‘‘I would not be surprised if both the Rock Springs and Sessinghaus would be shunted out of the pool. Both distilleries were into the pool and it burdened with just that kind of timber. Had the association left St. Louis out of the pool cities, let the Mound City and Teuscher's fight he other distilleries and taken care of them both would have been forced out of the business. The Sessinghans plant is losing value every day, the tubs are shrinking, and there would be a high old time if any one tried to use it. CALLED BACK. Mrs. Crockett Returns from Kansas City to Her Home. In the dispatch from Kansas City published in Thursday's PoOsT-DISPATCH it was stated that Mr. David Crockett of St. Louis was in that city endeavoring to arrange his muddled married matters. C. C. Huston, the man who eloped with Mrs. Crockett July 6, was ar- rested on the charge of adultery and released only after four days’ custody. Mr. Crockett’s ultimatum was very plain. He told the pair that if his wife didn't return to bim he would bave Huston rearrested, but if she would go hone with him ne would let Huston go. At first the young wife absolutely refused to yield. She in- sisted Huston had an eternal hoid on her heartstrings and she wanted himto keep his grip on them. The result of Mr. Crockett's per- suasions was not known until last night u carriage was seen to drive upto 3532 Wash- ington avenue, the residence of the wife’s mother, and deposit on the door step Mr. and Mrs. Crockett,the latter of whom wasted no time in avoiding the evil effects of standing in the night air. When a reporter for the Posr-Dis raren called this morning at No. 3532, and was fanning himself in the large dark parior, word was sent sliding down thg banister that Mrs. Buckner, the mother, could not come down stairs as she wasn’t dressed. As the re- porter stepped out into the haliway he heard the elderly lady expostuiating with a younger one who said: No, ma; I won't go down to see him at all. The other, however, was induced by the scribe’s gentle voice to come down, her place on the upper landing being taken by a young woman whose rather prepossessing face got no added beauty from the inartistic disheveled condition of her hair. ‘Yes, that is my daughter, vouchsafed the first, as she reached the parlor, ‘‘and she is suffering from nervous prostration. She got home last night from Kansas City with her husband and her sister, and is sick. Lou can't see her under any eſreum- stances, and before the scribe knew it his view of the street was no longer obstructed by a closed door. A POPULAR PRESIDENT. Congressman Townshend Believes Mr. Cleveland Stands Well with the People. W. Townshend of Shaw- neetown, II., is at the Southern Ho- tel. Speaking of the prospects of the coming Congressional campaign this morning he said: ‘‘Our delegation will, I Congressman R. think, be divided as it now is. We will lose one district in Chicago —wards—buat we have a rospect of gaining the Cairo District, which will equal- ize things. Ithink the Democratic majority in the next House will be as large as itis ut resent. At times I have been orced to think that the majority would be reduced a little, but looking the field over carefully now I do not believe it will. You see the people who are dissatisfied with the adminis- tration on account of the President s failure to make changes in the offices are, as a rule, the most rigid adherents of the Demo- cratic party. The President’s civil-service policy has made bim stronger with those who have been hanging on tothe party hoping to see good men in office. When you get away from the politi- cians I think the President is very popular. There is probably more dissatisfaction with his policy at Washington than anywhere else in the country. I was one of the stronc- est advocates of the surpius resolution in the House, but do not think the Presi- dent’s failure to act upon it has hurt him with the people. Ithink the people of the East and West and of both parties are per. fectiy willing to leave the discretion of paying out the surplus in the President's hands. Mr. Townshend came over tost. Louis to see his brother, Dr. Townshend of Washington, who is on his way home from the Grand Army Encampment at San Francisco. Mr. Town- shend will leave for Chicago to-night. New Warrants.

THE “POST-DIQPATCH” STATEMENT OF 0’DAY’S SHREWD SCHEME CORRECT. Farther Insight Into the Workings of the Railread Boss in the Convention—The Way the Real End Was Gained—Mr. Shewalter Talks About the Important Plank of the Platform—Gossip. „The Posr-Disrarou has sized up the situa- tion exactly,’’ said one of the shrewdest leaders in the late Democratic Con- vention to-day when discussing the personnel of 0 State Committee. „1 don’t care about antagonizing John O’ Day just at this stage of the game. He has got too firm a hold on the whip handle, An- other insider who cume up discussed the re- suits very intelligently. From the first John O'Day bent his efforts to secure the con- trol of the committee. When someone sprang the charge that O’Day had furnished the Henry delegates free transportation to the convention a virtue was made of the misun- derstanding. Judge Henry denied that he had been particularly favored, and asserted that some ofthe Martin delegates on the Frisco Line had received similar favors. In this he was borne out by O'Day with very truthful protestations. The fact of the matter seems to be that O Day was playing a sate game, and that he fully appreciated the possibility of Henry failing to win. The first duty was to Henry, but his grievance against the Sonth eastern counties, whom he charged with caus- ing the defeat WAS NOT 80 DEEP-SEATED as one would infer from the accusation he made that the Southeast bad gone over to Mar- tin and lost its way on the road back. The second ballot had convinced O'Day of the correctness of his expectations. It became evident that the Brace forces, nearly two hundred strong, would not break for either Henry or Martin. The third ballot convinced him that Henry could not ret there. As “a second choice Martin would he very acceptable. Therailroud people were planning for this. It was necessary first that Martin or his repre- sentatives inthe convention should be seen and made fully aware of the obligations be would adopt in aceepting the support of the clans. While these plans were discussed in whispered tones in the aisles the Southeast gave indications of a flop. Joe Mercer prematurely announced that Jackson County wished to retire for consultation. His own delegation sat down on him, but a moment later saw that something had to be done, and renewed the request. They had been voting thirty-twosolid for Henry and the Indepen- dence crowd, all friends of Dr. Henry,a brotuer of the candidate, wanted this to con- tinueto the finish. Kansas City wanted to win. Boss Corrigan will be interested in some of the ORDINANCES UNFRIENDLY TO STREET KAIL- ROADS in the Kaw City, which will come up before the Supreme Courton the question of constitu- tionality. He had gleaned from some judicial expression of the present Chief Justice or his views on kindred topies that Judge Henry wasthe Chief Justice for hiin. The impression was gaining rapidly that Henry could not win and Martin might. To see the Martin men in advance was the play, but this was beaten. John O. Gage, the at- torney who has been called to the rescue of the haw Cityin ali its legal conflicts, was for Martin and backed up the Kansas City bar though not very well represented in the first baliots. His friends were anxious that the Corrigan men should stick by Henry and leave Martin free. St. Louis got out ot convention at the sume time to get a chance at the Jackson County delegation and here the fatal mistake was made. Josh La Due merely sug- ested that the sell out’’ time be limited. he free counties took alarm and on the next ballot O’Day’s first and second choice were badiy left and Brace walked in between them. A count of noses soon showed that O'Day had got in his work with the delegations for the Central Committee. The plan was then conceived to stop O'Day with a res- olution against his election to an official position on the committee. The resolution had its effect and the O'Day men renounced their intentions to push the manipulator for Shields“ place. They thought they had carried out the conven- tion's idea, but were greatiy mistaken as several of the committee now admit. O Day nad successfully ‘‘got in his work on the committee and secured the Chairmanship of the Executive Committee, which virtually gives him control of things. Mr. J. D. Shewalter was asked concernin the resolution aimed at O'Day and said. see your paper stated the resolution ‘that it is the sense of the Democracy in conventiun as- sembied, that no railroad official or lobbyist shail be placed in official position on the State Committee’ was about to be offered in tbe convention, but was strangled in consideration of certain promises. Itis unfortunate thatit was not offered, for, with possibly the words ‘in of- ficial position’ eliminated, it wouid have re- céived the indorsement of the Committee on Resolutions. Ishouid have approved it, and I beiieve a majority at least of the other mem- bers of the committee would have coincided with me in that view.’’ GOSSIP. „Col.“ Joe Rickey of Callaway was in- structed foi Martin in the recent convention. He was, however, very enthusiastic for Henry. I bet $00 or any part of it that Henry is the man,’’ called out the Colonel. Fred Young ofthe Twenty-third Ward, said: Iwant some of that, and he got it. Wm. H. Lee held the stakes, and he paid them over to Mr. 1 yesterday. E. L. Carter, one of Martin's enthusiastic workers in the Eighteenth Ward, is going tish- ing. He says he enjoys fishing more than St. Louis politics. He claims the 1 of casting the 13 votes that down Webb for Railroad Commissioner, because he traded Martin votes off. A SCHEME OF SALVATION. Plan for Paying Provident Bank Depositors in Full and Saving Stock. A gentieman interested in the Provident Bank wreck suggests a plan for the salvation of the stock-holders. The present plan of settling the liabilities will allow a realization of only a percentage on claims while the stock will be utterly wiped out. The interested gentleman referred to says: After the fire of ‘’49’' the insurance com- panies, which were insolvent in consequence of their losses being greater than their assets, reorganized by a new subscription of stock by the stockholders and for their remaining lia bilities for losses they issued stock which in time became of ar vaine by applying dividends to eredit thereof until finalty paid up. At a later time a mercantile agency be- came insolvent, and to avoid destruction of business they issued stock in the company for ite liabilities, thus capitalizing their debts. When the Joliet steel rail mills became insolvent they paid their liabilities by an issue of preferred gtock and surrendered the management of their business into the hands of the preferred stockholders until the profits of the business were sufficient to can- cel the preferred stock, after which the orig- inal stockholders resumed possession, inter- est on their previous bonded debt hav- ing in the meantime been regularly paid. The action of the stockholders of the Provi- dent Savings Bank evidentiy contemplated something of this kind in 8 to bu the assets; but per began at the wrong end, for the reason that the assets iu reality be- longed to the creditors, I. e., the depositors. Now, a conversion of the deposits into stock would extinguish all liabilities and the stock would hold the assets unincumbered; the stock would then havea yalue fully equal to the value of the deposite as they stand at present and wonld be marketabie and salable for its value as well as any other stock and quite as much or more sothan the deposits are at present. The stockholders couid then liqui- date at their pleasure and avoid sacrifices, or they could seale their stock and reissue at any per centage thereof as might be thought ad- visable—to @ par value.

From the Baltimore American. Senator Joe Blackburn of Kentucky entered the committee-room of Representgtive Whar- ton Green of North Carolina the other day during the sitting of Congress. In his arm he curried a small package neatly put up. A crowd of Southerners stood around discussing polities and legislation. The Blue Grass statesman, soon after entering the room, gave vent to his enthusiasm by remarking: ‘Wharton, Ihave a present for you. Take ft. It's a bottle of 36-year-old whisky, smooth as oil and sweet as honey.’’ r. Green, who is one of the most extensive wine growers in the United States, and who knows what a oes article of drink is, took the bottle and thanked the donor. Senator Blackburn continued to stand in the middie of the floor and smilé. Finally he said: ‘‘Thir- ty-six years ago old Grandfather Lochrane of oodford County, Kentucky, spent an hour at my father’s house. They were old friends. I was a chump of a boy 15 years old. Lochrane alWwuys pointed me out as a rising statesman, and took great pride in assuring my father that ‘that poy Joe’ would de in the United States Senate On this o- casion of Lochraue s visit to my father’s house I remember to have been with the two men when old man Lochrane sald that he had just run off the finest barrel of whisky that had ever passed through a Kentucky worm, and that he had hermetically sealed the bungs to that barrel, and did not propose to open them till ‘that boy Joe’ was a United States Senator. Well, to make a long story short, Lochrane never failed to remind my father of his vow whenever I took a step up- ward. The old man was here a few days ago, when TI was a member of the House, and re- minded me that he had that barrel of liquor yet, which would not be opened until was promoted to the other end of the Capitol. A year ago the old wan Lochrane died. On his lips was a request that his son should ex ecute his pledge in reference to that barrel of whisky. At that time I had been elected to the Senate, but had not taken my seat. The other day l received a letter from young Lochrane stating that he had shipped to my address sev eral bottles of whisky trom the barrel filled by his fathér more than athird of a century ago. They came in this shape. Holding up a quart bottle, sealed with 1 Presentiy, Senator Pugh entered the room. Senator Blackburn immediately presented him with a bottle of the liquor. Next day Senator Blackburn was in the same room when Senator Pugh entered. Joe,“ said the Alabama Senator, I am not a beggar, but there is one thing that I would like to request of yous’ Senator Blackburn looked up at his friend in surprise, and expected a very grave request. That bottle of liquor. which you gave me yesterday,’’ continued Senator Pugh, ‘‘was the smoothest and most exlilerating stimu- lant I ever tasted. It is the elixir of life. I have two friends in the Senate who are re- formed drunkards. Now, I haven’t much con- fidence in reformed drunkards, because they either become of no account or return to their dissipations. The men I refer to are Vance and Vest. They have not beén worth a fig for Senatorial work for weeks. They are com- pletely relaxed and have no ambition. Betore Senator Pugh could proceed further the Kentuckian assured him that two bottles of the ‘‘Elixir of Lite should be delivered to the Senators afOresaid on that afternoon. On the following morning Senator Pugh paid Sen- ator blackburn another visit. Wreaths of sinifes clothed his face. Did you observe, remarked Pugh, as soon as he had entered Blackburn’s commit- tee room, ‘‘how agile, how far-seeing and quick and broad-brained a Senator from Mis- gouri and a Senator from North Carolina were lastevening. The brightest speeches and the oe, lwish we hada thousand barrels of the rejuvenator. If we had, we could reunite the two sections of country, restore the South and become a prosperous party again.’’ Napoleon and Marie Louise. From the London Times. Napoleon seems to have been as fond of his young wife as his selfishness and self- con- sciousness permitted; and after she had given him an heir he was more devoted than ever. To do him justice, when the birth endangered the life of the Empress, in real grief and unklety he gave peremptory orders that the life of the mother was to be saved at any cost. The Austrian fam- ly whatever they may have thought of the mesalliance, accepted its consequences with admirable grace. M. de Saint-Arnaud —— a very remarkable letter from the Impress of Austria to her formidable son-in- law, in which she expresses herself with re- Kurd to her step-daughter with the most ten- der affection and contdence. That it was written hypocritically we can hardly doubt, considering the antecedent and sub- sequent conduct of the writer, but all the same it is a significant proof of tue ascendency of Napoleon in the zenith of his power. As for Marie Louise, she liked her husband if she did not love him, but she felt, . that he was re- moved from er to an immeasurable distance. They had very little in common. He intimated his will rather than gave his or- ders, and she acquiesced. He disliked women interfering in public affairs or discussing them, and consequently there was no confi- dence between them in the matters nearest to her heart. And she never succeeded in ac- climatizing herself in French society. The courtiers, who were parvenus, distrusted ‘‘the Austrian woman,’’ who could hardly fail to look down on plebeians, while the old aristocracy of the Faubourg St. Germain resented the humiliation of her marriage, So, while she gracefully acknow!l- edged the acclamations of the crowd, she showed herself cold and reserved in court cir- cles. She was still very young and inexperi- enced, and things would. probably have steadily changed forthe better had her hus- band never undertaken his Russian venture, or had he come Dack from Moscow in tri- umph. But when the world lost ite faith in his star his wife’s feelings changed altogether, and the weak woman who had only wor- shiped him in his power reverted to the prejudices of her early training. The Two Lights. When I'm a man, the stripling cries, And strives the coming years to scan, „Ah, then I shall be strong and wise, hen I’m a man. „When I was yorng,’’ the old man sighs, ‘*Bravely the lark and linnet sung Their carol under sunny skies, When I was young.’’ When I’m a man I shall be free To guard the right, the truth uphold.’’ ‘*When I was young I bent no knee To power or gold. Then shall I satisfy my soul With yonder prize, when I’m a man.“ Too late I found bow vain the goal To which I ran.’’ ‘When I’m a man these idle toys 9 Aside forever shall be filung.’’ There was no poison in my joys When I was young.’’ The boy’s bright dream is all before; The man’s romabce lies far behind. Had we the present and no more, Fate were unkind. But, brother, toiling in thé night Still count yourself not all unbiest if in the East there gleams a light, Or in the West. : Bound to Be Bloodshed.

The residents on Second Carondelet avenue, south of Chouteau, are in a state of incipient excitement over the mysterious bebavior of a door-bell in the house occupied by the family of Mr. Charles R. Helfenstein at 1206 Second Carondelet avenue. Mr. Helfenstein, who is a well known and highly respected citizen, was formerly associated with Simmons Hardware Company. He says that about a month ago he was awakened at mid- night by the ringing of the door bell. He looked out of his window and could discover no one on thestep. The bellrang again and Mr. Helfen- stein tddressed a passer-by and asked him if there wus any One standing in the recess of the front door. The stranger replied in the negative. A scarch was tien made of the house. Nothing was found andthe gentleman concluded that perhaps some rut had disturbed the wire which ran under the floor of the first story and connected the bell knob and the bell. A week ago the occurrence was repeated with the exception that em oe 3 instead of midnight. 12 r in the — but jt was accounted for by ordinary theories. On Thursday of this week the bell rang about jl a. m. for no apparent reason and continued 2 RINGING AT INTERVALS OF FIVE MINUTES until 2 o’ciock in the afternoon. Thorough examination was made of the wire that ran suspended fromthe joist in the well-lighted cellar, but no explanation of the phenomenon was found. Yesterday the ringing again commenced and Mr. II. called in some of the firemen from Engine house No. 7, These gentlemen stationed themselves giongthe wire at short distances from each other in the cellar and kept close watch upon jt, Still the ringing continued. It was the same Wien the wire was held by them. To jessen the chances for deception the wire was disconnected at the front door and then gi each joint until at last only ten feet of wire remained running from the bell downto and through the kitchen floor into the laundry. The ringing still continuing Mr. Rarrett, Seven's chief, sent word to Mr. James Fitzgerald, the meciinnical Superintendent of the Fire Department Teiegraph. Mr Fitzgerald visited the house and exumined the premises. Only the ten feet of wire hanging from the bell was found. The bell itself was an ordinary clap- per bell with the coiled wire spring, and was suspended from the partition that boxed-ina the stairway leading from the kitchen to the second story. AS THE BELL STILL CONTISTED its demonstrations Mr. Fitzgeraid discon- nected it from the remaining bit of wire and also from the spring that gives it its recoil. He bad hardly ieftthe house after doing this before the rings were repeated. He returned, took the bell from its fastenings and put it into the back yard. There its uneasy soul re- posed in quiet through the night. To-day the beil waa restored to its old posi- tion on the partition and the ten-foot connec- tion re-made. This had been done but a mo- ment when it resumed its old friskiness. Mr Jarrect came in from the engine-house and stood guard. The bell was stuffed full of pa- per. This was successful! in subduing its ciat- ter, but the wire still jangled, and the old bell went throug the motions with commendaple perseverance. When a reporter called at the house the bell was bound and gagged as described above and the history of its erratic behavior was briefly given. In seeming indorsement of the story there was a VIOLENT JERK OF THE WIRE andthe bell followed with responsive gym- nastics. Soon afterward the colored servant yir!, a frisky miss of 18, came from the ceilar. The reporter confided the suspicions this coincidence aroused to Mr. Helfenstein and Mr. Barrett, They assured the scribe of their beijef in the girl’s innocence as the matter of her possible association with the demonstration had been iully canvassed. Indeed, said Mr. Helfenstein. some of the most pronounced rinzing occurred when she was noteven on the preinises.’’ At the reporter s request the ten-foot length of wire was detached from tle bell to precinde any idea of the cook’s manipulation from the laundry. The discunnection was made. The reporter remained in the house some haif hour to give the lonelorn bell another chance, but itdidn’t rise to the occasion. zessie, the 17-year-old daughter of Mr. Hel- fenstein, exhibited considerable excitement at the reporter’s visit. She said the farnilv had no desire for the notoriety orannoyance that a publication of the facts would give them. The family are in no wise in- clined to Spiritualism and even the chance association with the belief that the matter would give them in the eyes of some eople would be distasteful to them. Mr. ielfenstein explained that Miss Bessie, who was an unusuaily Self- possessed and tenstble young lady, had grown rather nervous over the annoying mys- teriousness of the circumstances, and this added to the natural dislike of all modest young ladies to any notoriety. While the re- porter was bidding the gentleman good morn- ing several strangers who had heard of the b ular happening called at the house and &sked permission to examine the premises. No theories adequate to an explanation were advanced. The simple facts as above detailed alone were submitted.

Mr. Stewart was waited upon by a plausible young man who gave his name as Gibson, and represented himself as the manager of the Metropolitan Law Association.’’ Gibson said be was seek ing an agent for the Association, which was a sort of collecting bureau. He suggested that Mr. Stewart take some young Tawyer into his office and let him do the collecting while he attended to the legal part of the busi- ness. Gibson displayed letters from all parts of the country under different printed heaas, —— — from agents of the company. He $0 talked very plausibiy and showed himseif to be well acquainted with business methods.

Then Gibson suggested =v Cash, but Mr. Stewart refused. Finally he agreed to give Gibson acheck on the men’s Bank, dated September 18 for $25. The check, Gibson said, would not ge presented until Stewart had been notified In making out the check Mr Stewart dated it August 18 by mis- take. Yesterday he was notified that the check had been cashed by the Lindell Hotel.

Lemnawell of Lefiingweill 4 “Wan and endeavored to obtain money from him in consideration of The local agency of their concern, but the Major was suspicious and refused to put up. Perkins and Gibson ‘were at the Lindell for — bp and as far as can be learned Mr. Stewart is their only victim. Mr. Stewart de- scribes Gibson as a rather stout —— man of medium size, with florid complexion, light Hairandamustache. He was weil dressed.

SPRAGUE & Sons, Props. A SHADY STORY That William Jones, Told to Avoid a Fine. William Jones, a negro, was up before Judge ' Cady this morning on a charge of trespassing. - Mrs. J. 8. Scott of 2321 Eugenia street testified that about 11:30 Tuesday night she awoke and saw a negro seated on the rail of the porch on the second story of the house. It was warm and the bed ip which she was 22 was pulled up close to the open win- dow and the negro was looking straigut at her After watching bim awhile, she pinched her husband and when he arosein bed, the negro umped from the porch. A description of im was given tothe police, and the next day they arrested Jones and she identified bim as the man she had seen on her porch. dergt. O'Donnell said that when a description of the pegro was given him he and Officer Muirich concluded Jones was the man. When the Sergeant arrested him the next morning Jones was very vague in his answers to their ques. tions as to where he bad been the previous nicht, but he finally said be had spent the night with Millie Bell, a colored woman who lives in the basement 0 Mrs. Sherman s house, No. 1700 Olive street. O'Donnell visited the woman and she said he had been at her house the previous evening, but left between 10 and II o’ciock, She bad not seen him since. She was positive he had not remained there all night. Officer Mulrick, who saw Jones Wednesday morning before the latter was arrested, said the nero told him he had not been to see the Bell woman the previous night. | On the stand, Jones, who has a rather pe. -euliar face, claimed he had speptéthe night with the Bell woman, but admitted he taken furniture to the house next door to Mrs. | Seott’s Tuesday afternoon. Tife Bell woman also swore that he had spent the night with her, leaving about5o'cloek in the morning. When sergt. O'Donnell called on her, she at ‘first sald that Jones had been to see her, but Kk had not remained all night, but afterward when pressed to tell the truth told O'Donnell ‘that. ones had spent the nightthere.

Toareporter’s remark that civil service was his hobby, the Senator replied: ‘‘I willtell you what I said to the President daysago. We had been speaking of the nomination of Matthews to be Register of the District of Columbia, the confirmation of whom I opposed in Senate: ‘Mr. Cleveland, I said, if were President of the United States I would call my Cabinet together and say; Gentlemen, if there is a sin gle Republican oftice-hoider in your departments atthe expiration of aperiod of ten days your resignations will be expected forthwith.’ Briefly, I consider civil service the biggest humbug ever perpetrated on the American people.’’ The Senator said that Secretary Whitney had informed him that Matthews’ only politica value consisted in his ability to stir up rows in ward meetings. He considers Matthews’ ap- pointment a mistake, and when tie President said that he wanted to show that the Demo. cratic party was not inclined to draw the color line, Mr. Blackburn suggested that Matthews be given the Albany Post-office and he promised to vote for his confirmation. Mr. Blackburn, just betore leaving the Capitol, volunteered the informa- tion to Mr. Matthews that he would see that he did not receive seven votes when his appoint- went is aguin reported to the Senate. Mr. Blackburn was asked his opinion of Tilden’s course during the critical period that preceded Hayes’ inauguration. Hesaid: It Tilden had at any time put a card in the New York papers declaring bimself the rightfully elected President of the United States, and declared his determination to have his rights, the opposition would have meited away and Huyes would never have en- tered the White House. Tilden constantly sent emissaries to myself aud other opponents of the electoral! bill, begging us to desist as he had the strongest case. Jere Black aptly described the situation when he said, after the appointment of the Commission: ‘We bave the case but they have the court, and upon the whole I would rather have their chances than ours.’ Tilden’s friends say that he feared bioodshed. Had the electoral bill failed to pass there would have been no bloodshed, The nation would be without ahead andthe Republicans would have em- ployed the militarv to seat Hayes. This was what I was fighting for. I did not want to give them a shadow of legal right to the Presi- dency, butthere wouid have been no resist- ance to the usurpution. My purpose would have been accomplished if Randall had not lost his head. In the first caucus of the fili- busterers I said that if Randall would give me the shading of the rules, I would guarantee to prevent the electoral bill from passing for six weeks, or six months, if necessary. Ran- Gall agreed, but after he had fought the bill for five weeks, and we were within five days of the death of the Forty-fuurth Congress, Ran- dall weakened under the tremendous moral 3 that had been brought to bear upon iim, and by a single arbitrary rule the bill went through.’’ To MAKE a fair face fairer vet Get Strauss to take a cabinet. A WORTHY APPEAL, Stephens County, Texas, in Sore Straits on Account of the Drouth, WEATHERFORD, Tex. , August 21.—The County Commissioners of Stephens Co. have appro- priated $500 to be used in purchasing supplies for those actually in need of the necessities of life. An appeal to the public for aid, signed by the County Judge and Commissioners, was adopted yesterday. The following is an ex- tract: ‘‘There has been no rain in this county sufficient to make a good season for the last fourteen months. -Crops of all kinds are an entire failure. There will not be 100 bushels of grain of any kind raised in the county. The range has failed and cattle are dying from poverty. The great part of the cattle raised in this county must of ne- céssity perish this winter from the same cause. Most of our people are poor but industrious, and are dependent entirely upon the produc- tion of farms for support and sustenance. Fully one-third of the population have abandoned their homes and gone to more favored portions of the county in search of labor and food for their families. Many more would, but cannot for want of means; many families are now actually suf- fering for the necessities of life, beyond the power of the people here to relieve. Suffering and destitution will soon become generai unless relief in some form is attain- abie.’’ The above story applies to ten coun- ties in Western Texas, most of which have made similar appeals for aid, but up to date little or no response has been made. A few hundred pounds of flour have been forwarded but that's all. Yesterday Tyler County, one of the worst sufferers, sent an agent to Kansas City to solicit seed wheat.

THE STARTLING DISCOVERY MADE BY THE POLICE OF NEWARK, N. J. Nearly a Score of Young Girls, Ranging in Age from 13 to 18 Years, Ruined by Mathias L. Darby, a Real Estate Agent Nearly Twenty-Five Victims Found— Darby and Two Other Men Under Ar- rest. By Telegraph to the Post-DIsPATCa. , New YORK, August 21.—Not since the hydro- phobia excitement have the citizens of New- ark, N. J., been so wrought up as they are at present over the disclosures made yesterday of the shocking depravity of nearly a score of young giris, ranging in age from 13 to 18 years. The first intimation of it was furnished to the police by Delia Duffy and Minnie Arbuthnot, who were arrested at Coney Island three weeks ago and afterward told of the gross conduct of Mathias L. Darby, a well-known real estate agent of Newark, where the girls lived. Following up tbe story told by these runaway children, the police were surprised to find the evidence against Darby strong beyond a doubt, and yesterday morning they arrested the man at his home in Elizabeth. While investigating the case of Darby it was discovered that Chas. Raymond, a fish dealer, was implicated by the testimony of several young girls who had been ruined by Darby, and he, too, was arrested. At least two, and perhaps more men, are sus- pected by the police of complicity in the crimes, and itis thought that the number of victims will reach as high as thirty young girls, who are all under 16 years of age and many of them in trouble. Whenthe two wayward girls were found wandering about the beach at Coney Island, THE TERRIBLE STORY of their suffering and previous life was not believed, and they were credited with being blackmailers. as they had been mixed upina similar venture in this city, They were com- mitted to the House of the Good Shepherd in East New York, and here they were discovered to be in such a precarious condition that James A. Nearey, agent for the St. Vincent de Paul Society of Brooklyn, was summoned, and to him they again repeated their story of wrong doing. They told how they had been detained for a week at a notorious resort at Coney Island and when prostrated by ill-treatinent were driven from the den to wander alone and un- protected along the beach. Before this, they said, they had been in the real estate office of Darby in Newark, whither they had been en- ticed by acompanion and where their ruin was accomplished. They also charged that Darby engaged them to decoy other little girls into his office. By various devices these giris were enticed toenter the house where their ruin followed, by force, if necessary. The two girls admitted that most of their companions were less than 15 years old and were finaware of the horrible fate that awaited them until they found themselves locked in the inner room wheretheir screams and prayersfor mercy were unheeded and frequently unheard out- side the vile den. One day the youthful profligates met a young man named Jack, whoinduced them to go with him to Coney Island, where they lodged at the Hoffman House. Soon after their ar rival the place was raided by the police but the girls escaped arrest and — at Laura s Cottage, kept by Mrs. Sexton, for admission. Here they remained a few days, but when it became known that they had been inmates ofaresort that bad been raided, they were turned adrift. Fortwo days they wandered along the shore without food orshelter, and for a week after their arrest, life was de- spaired of. In the confession made to Agent Nearey, the girls gave the names of twenty-five compan- ions, most of them only 12 or 13 years of age, who had been made UNWILLING VICTIMS OF DARBY’S LUST. In nearly every instance the same terrible story was narrated of piteous cries for help and the cruel indifterence of the gray-haired villain who plotted and effected the destruction of all that made life dear to them. When Agent Nearey became convinced of the truth of the stories he sent for Chief of Poiice Tuite of Newark and as quainted him with the terrible facts. Detec- tives Glori, Wombold and Lewis were put on the case and a search was mace at Darby s office, No. 11 Mulberry street, Newark. The two rooms were found exactly as the gir!s described them: In the outer office was the real estate agent’s desk, The roorn was curpeted and well turnished. At the rear a door opened into the inner oftice which was unlighted either by a window or transom. Here wasacot, a wash-stand and bowl and two chairs. The building, which is owned by Darby, is divided through the centre by a board partition. One half is occupied by a bag frame factory, the workmen in whien have long been suspicious of the agent, and the cries of his victims have attracted their attention several times. Through the wooden partition a number of holes have been bored, and although the cries of the children were heard, the workingmen were unable to witness the terribiescenes enacted there. When the offi- cers visited the room ares hole was stopped up with putty and boards had been nailed over a door which led into the alley in the rear of the building. The police next set to work to find confirniition oitne details of the story told dy thé girls at Coney Island. The ad- dresses of some of the victims were known and a search discovered six of them yesterday. They were nearly all found at their homes and THEIR PARENTS WERE DUMFOUNDED when informed of the result of the police in- uiry. They were Ida Shaw, 16 years, the aughter of a saloon-keeper; Daisy Dunn,aged 13; Lena Weber, 16; Mamie Raymond, 18, and Eftie Morehouse,15. The girls were all well dressed and most of them rosy-cheeked and good-looking, and when brought into the police station they regarded their situation with brazen indifference. They were well- acquainted with each other, having become familiar through their visits to Darby’s den. They were left for a time in Chief Tuite’s private room, and at once began conversing about their betrayer, and smiled and chatted familiarly with the officers. From the dritt of the con- versation it was made clear that many of them had, since their :uin ae Darby, become steeped in vice, and they exhibited a familiarity with degradation far beyond their years. Daisy Dunn, one of the youngest girls, and barely 13 years old, said to a reporter: ‘‘I first met Darby on the street. Hespoke nicely to me while I was walking near his oftice and he asked me to step inside as it was raining. I went in and he behaved all right, but he asked me to come in again. I went by a second time last Febru- ary, und again he called me into the office. This time he asked me to go into the back room. He said something wicked to me and He gave me 50 cents at the time. I often went there after- ward and he always gave me money. Some- times it was 50 cents, sometimes $1 and oc- casionally more UNBLUSHING FRANKNESS.

AN ANARCHISTIC JOKE. The Dangerous Bomb Found Last Night on South Broadway. Shortly after 9o’clock last night George | Roth, an employe of Summers’ St. Louis Trunk Factory, at 837 and 839 South Broadway, found a peculiar looking object on the door step. | lt was about the size of an ordinary fruit can and attached to it was about eighteen | inches of tuse, the end of which had been ig- nited. The mysterious find was quite heavy and Roth, who instantly surmised it was dyna. mite placed there for the purpose of blow. | ing up the establishment, notified the police of his discovery. The inferna! machine was taken to the Four Courts where the police handied it very charily and finally had it placed in the property-room until an examin- ation of it could be made by an expert. This morning it was turned over to Chief Huebler, who found that it wasa piece of iron pipe, the ends of which were carefully Ulled with resin. The fuse was nothing more than a window cord, slightly coated with | — — resin. This satisfied the Chief pretty well that some practical joker was taking an- tage of the Chicago anarchist trials to crgate ‘gecare. However, he had the bomb - fully opened, and it was then found it was Glled with filth, about January 1. did not grow any Minnie Raymond and Lena Weber told their stories with undlushing frankness. Ida Shay said that she was induced to go to Darby’s Office, where she was assaulted and afterward given a dollar. Strang as it may appear the girls persisted in trying to shield those who had led them to the betrayer, while they ex- of all that transpired subsequently. An at- tempt was made by the police to show that Minnie Raymond, the eldest of the giris, had acted as Darby's agent. The girls denied this, and no evidence was found to prove it, save that a dozen or more girls were in the habit of | congregating at her house at night. As soon as developments showed that Darby was implicated a warrant was issued for his arrest, and he was taken to police headquarters. While the police were busy taking the testimony of the girls, Justice Roder Was busy investigating the law to see on what charge he could hold the prisoners so as to — sustained by the evidence. The points w finally settied by Prosecutor Syinaten, and Darby was led to the bar for examination. mee 8 IN — os nere are six complaints made against Jou.“ said Justice Roder. by Chief Tuite, the first being an indecent assault on Minnie Ar- buthnot and Delia Duffy, t How do you plead?’ ., two young girls.

He was then held in $800 bail for each of the first five offences and in $500 extra on the charge of as- suult on the Arbutinot and Duffy girls, mak- ing in all $2,500. Darby was then led back to his cell. He was afterwards seen by a Po 8T DISPATCH correspondent. Heis rather slig ht, with aun iron gray bristling mustache and his hair parted in the middle. He was neatly dressed. At firsthe was not comrnunicative but afterwards he spoke quite freely. ‘‘They used to address me., he said, and I frequently used to go to skating rinks and see themon skates. They came into my office, and I gave them bangles with my initials on, merely as a souvenir, you under- stand. I believe bangles are very fasoionab!e for bracelet ornaments.’’ After he was locked up, ey to going to the county jail, Darby sent for Henry Frazer, who had charge of the building in which Darby’s office is, to become his bonds- man. Frazer agreed to do so on condition that he would secure him against loss. ‘*You know I havea wife and family to look after,’’ said Frazer, ‘‘and I must protect my- seif.’’ Darby said he would consider the proposition. He was then taken to jail to await bail for the action of the Grand-jury. HUNTING UP THE VICTIMS. Meanwhile Detectives Glori and Lewis, ina buggy, were scouring the streets in search of more Victims. Detective Wambold and several policemen went afoot forthe same purpose. Mary Smith, aged 15, wus arrested as a ma- terial’’ witness, and several other girls were brought in. During the course of their perambulations the police learned that there will be more startling disclosures yet in the case. In fact, so many threads came into their hands that it seemed as if tne entire moral tone of Newark had been upset. ‘Lottie O’ Niel was brought before the Justice and suid: Three or four months ago l went to Mr. Raymond's house and Lena Weber and 1 went up-stairs atteraclean collar, when Lena introduced me to Mr. Raymond.

We came home late in the evening.’’ Lena Weber corroborated the story Lottie told. Mamie Raymond, she said, was not at home atthe time.

THE FEELING IN ELIZABETH. The people of Elizabeth are horrified over the revelations of the enormity of the crimes with which Darby is charged. Great sympathy is felt for his family who are highly respected. It has leaked out that Darby lately had been seen frequentiyin the company of men who are well known libertines. M. L. Darby is a real estate agent doing business at 59 Broad street, Elizabeth, where he resides. Heis sole agent at Elibabeth for the Equitable Life Insurance Company of New York, which owns a large amount of property in that city. He takes care of their houses, collects rents and looks after their business in Elizabeth, Newark and Jersey City. He is a carpenter by trade, and years ago was a gateman at Jersey City for the Pennsylvania Railaead. He afterwards became conductor on the road and put a man off a train at Metuchen. The man resisted and a fight followed, during which Darby stubbed the man in the face. For this ne was discharged from the road. Some years ago he was elected Schoo! Commissioner for the Fourth Ward onthe Republican ticket and served two years. He has always bornea good reputation in Elizabeth. From other sources it is learned that he always hada strong leaning to female society. During the past year he has spent very little time in Eliza- beth, taking an early train for Newark every day. He is married and has a grown-up family, butseldom spends much of his time with them, THE Valley Building Company, office 816 Pine street, started only two months ago, is doing splendidly. The great proportion of its stock is taken and many are now securing homes through its agency. The men who compose its directory are a guarantee that its affairs will be administered with busi- ness prudence and sagacity. Noone wanting a home can do better than to secure a few of its shares.

An agreed case inthe nature of a quo war- ranto proceeding has been filed in the Circuit Court for thé purpose of ascertaining the status of the Standard School-book Com- pany.

SPRAGUE & SONS, Props. THE MATTHEWS REAPPOINTMENT. President Cleveland Explains His Position in a Letter to T. McCant Stewart. New YorK, August 21.—The following is taken from the Heraid of this morning: T. McCant Stewart wrote to the President that he appreciated the rebuke which he gave the narrow-minded men of both parties in reap- pointing Mr. Matthews to succeed Frederick Douglass; that his Administration was liberal- izingand dividing the colored vote. He re- ceived the following: EXECUTIVE MANSION, WASHINGTON, August 11, 1886.

To these visitors are to be added the curiosity-seekers from all parts of the States of Illinois, Kansas, Iowa and Arkansas, who will be attracted tothe city by the grand pageant and the other features of the enter- tainment provided. „We will have over 20,000 men in line, said Chairman Parson of the Entertainment Com- mittee this morning. We have not heard from many of the commanderies, but that is the estimate I would make. The commanderies are a little slow in John J. Baulch. reporting because they wish to make as good a showing as possible of men in line. I know a great many commanderies which have con- tracts with hotel people here which have not reported to the committee that they were coming. Chicago will send five commandcries, andonly one has reported that it was com- ing. Mr. Parson’s estimate, however, will prob - abiv be found to have been a little under, rather than over, the number in attendance onthe day of the grand parade, September 21. THE ARRANGEMENTS FOR THE DISPOSITION and entertainment of tb visitors to the Con- clave have been in the hands of a general en- tertainment committee composed of the fol- lowing gentlemen: John R.

Among the latter isa small and rather spare Marquise, the ancient widow of a Roman Senator, who dresses inastyle all her own, the materials hanging upon her frail form in a manner known Only to her own especial modiste. Her hair is quite gray and is turned up onthe crown of the head, thus exhibiting sev- eral shades of green, which unluckily for her have refused to conform tothe general tone of the chevelure, and gives the finishing touch to her bizarre appearance. However, the old Marquise is quite a favorite with the habitues of the hotel, as she comes here year- ly, and is able to converse quite fluently in Freuch, English and Italian. There are alsoa great many of the wealthy vine growers from Champagne, many of them immensely wealthy. One of the ladies of the party in- formed me that fine champagne can be pur- chased directly from the vineyards for 5 francs or $1 a bottle. Break- fast is served atthe table d’hote at 10 0’clock and dinner at haif-past 5. The French cook- ery is adinirable, the chef and the corps of waiters coming every summer from Nice. Claret is the only beverage taken at breakfast, although I have always beard that the French were great coffee drinkers. Some of our party astonished the natives the first few mornings by taking tea and coffee, but by a constant supply of chiccory and poor teathey were soon reduced to the regulation claret. Isubjoina copy of this morning’s menu card, so as to give some idea of A THOROUGHLY FRENCH BREAKFAST. Oeufs ala Brissane, or poached eggs with kidneys; friture de goujons, avery bitter lit- tle fish fried; Navarinala Bourgeoise, a de- lightful stew with carrots, turnips, peas and potatoes; cotes de veau panee, veal cutlets; croquis a la Francaise, a kindof pastry rolled to look like young potatoes and baked with cream and cheese; cold meat of every descrip- tion, with meat jeily, carrots a la Vichy, cheese ala creme, stewed prunes, pastry, etc. For dinner yesterday a tremendous salmon, over three feet in length, adorned the head of the table, gayly decked with fresh roses. Wild strawberries are always on the table and all so fragrant as to fill the whole room with their perfume. According to the Continental style every one converses with their neighbor attabie. For a long time I had net to me a sharp young diamond merchant from Paris, who furnished me with some rather amusing details as to the persons pres- ent, and had a very inconvenient habit of rushing to tell me of the maladies of every one present, with a candor truly French. The hours for meals are arranged to suit the bathers and drinkers. All the world of Vichy is up by 7 o’clock, and from that hour until 10 is consumed in bath- ing, drinking and digesting the water, stroll- ing through the pretty sunlit parks or sitting under the trees and listening tu the music in the kiosk. There are several bathing es- tablishments here, the largest of which is sit- uated at the north end of the Grand Park, and builtin the shape of aparallelogram. This is divided into baths for ladies and baths for gentiemen, where the best and most skillful attendance is given to invalids. The cost of each mineral bath is 212 francs or 50 cents,and the patient generally remains from a half to three-quarters of an hourinthe water. Thebath-room is of good size and supplied with every convenience. The tub is neatiy covered with a large coarse linen sheet cut to fit, anda bell nungs near to summon the watchful attendant. Many per- sons read while lying down, by means ofa reading-rack laid across the tub. A luxurious armchair receives the bather alter being enveloped in very warm towels and sheets and clad in a long peignoir with flowing sleeves. On the toilet table is plaeed évery convenience down to an ivory shoe-horn and vinaivre de toilette. I went tothe linen room to see how the sheets were heated and found one side of the department lined witn wooden drawers filled with snowy linen, the bottom of each drawer grated so that the heat of the furnace penetrated to the highest one. A bright, cheerful looking woman, clad in the regulation blue and white striped gown and white frilled cap, offered to show me the piscura, as it is called. To my astonishment, as the door was thrown open, I found myself on the first step ofa small natatorium and in the presence ot a numberof ENORMOUSLY FAT WOMEN, robed in linen pegnoirs, floating about on the water like great white bubbles. The smiling attendant told me that they remained in their bath two hours and were there for the pur- pose of reducing their flesh. As most French women of middie age are very large, it is needless to say this remedy for superfluous flesh is well patronized. Atonecornerof tbe building they give inhalations of oxygen by means ofa tube for throat troubles. While we were there, aboy came in with an India rubber bag to be filled with gas to be taken by some invalid unable to go out. There are several rooms also set apart for those subject to rheumatism, where the patientis placed, fully dressed, in a large bath tub, ona soft bed, and enclosed, all but the head, by means of atin top tothe tub, while oxygen is supplied from the side, so that full penefit may be derived from the gaseous bath. Many ladies who are too weak to walk are brought to the different cures in sedan chairs born by stalwart men, or are rolled along by their maids in garden chairs. Aſter the bath comes the walk to the spring, ordered by your doctor, for the waters of each have different | age gg and are con- sidered poisonous if not used in the right way. Everyone is under treatment by the resident physician, the course generally being twenty-one days. Even at such an early hour the parks are thronged with tashionably attired women and Paris gallants, who have been forced to give up their pursuit of pleas- ure for the sake of health. From the appear- ance of the loungers one would scarcely sup- pose that disease had laid its dread touch upon almost every one of the 30,000 visitors who yearly flock to Vichy to drink of its life-giving waters There are some eleven springs about the town all neatly sheltered and some ot them situated in charming little parks. The Source |’ Hopital isthe most frequented and is inclosed in a large summer-house, around which are ranged benches for those who wish to drink water at intervals. Within is the bubbling spring of warm water in a large stone basin surrounded by a balustrade, where the drinkers sometimes stand five and six deep waiting to be served. Gayly tinted and white — cups, each with its owner’s 38 16 foun- are impended on a rack surroundin tain. Tidy girls in white caps are kept busy filling these lasses, which they piace in a dipper and plunge in the spring. THE * = . — cidedly mineral taste. ose heavy- 2 — in St. Louis, this hot morn- ing, who have endeavored to tone up their digestion after last night’s potations with a glass of flat Vichy from the neighboring drug store, would have feit a thrill of new life could they have quaffed it from the sparkling spring, served by the dainty French girl who gave me mine this morning with the accompanying „Bonjour, Madame. The visitors apparently drink the water in great moderation and not so freely as we use the mineral waters at home. The different springs are for different mal- adies, but those for liver and kidney troubles appear to be most popular. A military hos- pital is here for invalid officers and men, and an institution of the same kind for priests and nuns, so that ome may see any morning among the crowd in the park, the — uniform of the French officer and the blac hat and gown ofthe priest. A witty barber of the town being asked by a gentieman why 80 many priests visited Vichy, remarked that it was merely a question de foi! (_soi—faith or liver).

BURRELL, COMSTOCK & C0, 402-404 NORTH FOURTH STREET. Mrs. Bathurst Smith, Mr. Sam Churchill of Kentucky, Mrs. John Bigelow, the wife of the former American Minister to France; Mrs. Ayers of sarsaparilla fame, and a few others. The latter lady is here for the benefit of her health, and has in ner party her mother, Mrs. Southworth, Miss Bigelow, her attendant phy- sician, Dr. Long of Philadelphia, a courier, a maid andatrained nurse. She is saidto be fabulously rich, and wears the most superb toilets, with different wigs to suit each. Worth, the famous Paris dressmaker, was here last week and cailed on Mrs. Ayer to receive her orders for the coming season. Her morning toilet generally consists of white luce decked with pink ribbon, and at the Casino the other evening she wore a rich white silk trimmed in billows of superb lace, with awhite hat and enormous sapphires setin diamonds. Hercollier of white silk was bor- dered by softly gleaming pearls, each larger than @ good-sized pea. Mrs. Bigelow is noted both at home and abroad for her eccentrici- ties of dress and manner, while Miss Gregory is conspicuous, even among the daintily clad French women, for her EXQUISITE COSTUMES, and her distingue appearance. The perfect fit of the dresses worn by the ladies here is the distinguishing characteristic. They are almost all made with vests and worn ex tremely long-waisted. Cotton foulards are quite a la mode, and make up beautifully with lace trimmings and knots of ribbons. A great many ladies and even gentiemen, wear cuir colored shoes, and any day may be seen num- bers of demoiselles in white, bronze, and even pale blue slippers taking their afternoon promenade. Pet dogs are the rage, and are led by silken cords. Surely Pasteur will be needed now that the dog days are nearly upon us, for almost every lady has her dog at her side, his little body shaved to resemble a miniature lion. Among the promenaders are seen numbers of priests with their missals under their arms: magnificently attired Turks, with handsome bronzed-faced, dark-skinned Spaniards, In- dian ayabs wrapped ia some light Indian ma- terial, Egyptian, and in fact almost every na- tionality under thesun. At2:30in the after- noon the neat iron chairs in the park are occupied by the music-loving visiters, the ladies handsomely robed, each one with a pretty piece of fancy work in her bands, and plying her needle industri- ously while conversing with the groups of gentiemeén about her. Inthe evening all the fashionable world of Vichy adjourns to the Casino where an outdoor concert is given and within the theater either a play or an opera. Some of the best of the troupe at the Comedie Francaise were here last week. In this same building are reading and gaming rooms. The gaiety, however, which at our watering places results from a free and charming intercourse between young people, is altogether wanting here, owing to the opposite French custom. The average French girl looks as if she was having a dull time of it, tied to her mother’s apron-string. It is true that they do have here what they calla ball and what we would term a hop, every Satur- day evening. The dancing is, to an American, most amusing, as there is nothing of the graceful, gliding movements which make dancing with us so attractive. They spin around and kick outin a fashion which greatly surprises me when I think what the French dancing-master has done for our Western world. As the young ladies are always led to their mammas aiter each dance,the escorts tak ing their leave with a low bow, one sees no promenaders or admiring groups of gentlemen clustered about a pretty girl, whose sparkling conversation and rippling laughter supplies the life of such entertainments with us. VICHY. About thirty thousand visitors yearly flock to Vichy, which is a pretty little town situated on the banks of the River Allier, in a smiling valley embowered in trees and surrounded by the purple heights of the range of Forez Moun- tains. It dates back to many ceuturies ago and the old part of the town is very quaint and interesting. The newer is composed almost entirely of hotels, whose name is legion and these are well patronized during the season which ranges from May 13 till the same time in September. It is occasionally extreme- ly warm, the thermometer going far up into the nineties. The letters of that witty Frenchwoman, Mme de Sevigny, first spread the fame of the waters of Vichy, and her little villa in the midstof alarge garden is still shown by the grateful villagers. It was not known until the time of Napoleon III. that the place as- sumed its present importance asa health re- sort. Napoleon I., while still a young man, visited Vichy and gave orders to lay out the principal park, which was completed durin the reign of his nephew, who spent severa seasons here and built a row of pretty Swiss chalets, in one of which he spent the summer months. The parks are beautiful, with their neatly swept walks, shaded by Oriental plane trees, and the „ about is fertile and highly cultivated, with fine roads and charming views. There are to be seen some old casties, haunted grottos and pictur- — hamlets to lure the invalid from the quiet of his own room. The peasants drive cows in their wagons and the smallest of don- keys in their little market carts, and all seem moving through life siowly, but there is a look of peace and contentment which more than makes up for the feverish bustle of our own land. Malavaux or the Cursed Valley“ is one of same name is said to be haunted. The keep- ers show the visitor some ruins which his tale changes into the remains of A CASTLE OF THE KNIGHTS TEMPLARS, which powerful community once filled the whole neighborhood with terror and this is their tale: Numerous were the cruelties and They had razed to the ground many a castle, set fire to many a town and committed many acrime. But what especially struck the country side with terror wus the disappear- ance of several ladies renowned for their beauty. Public suspicion accused the Knights of taking them away, but suspicion is no proof, and had evidence been strong against them, great was their strength, high their towers and difficult the attack. 80, for fear of hav- ing an account to settle with such powerful enemies, people in the vicinity held their tongues, and disappearances grew more fre- quent and mysterious. At last, a young lady, the daughter of a neighboring baron, ar peared on the day before her nuptials. The suspicions of her father and bridegroom did not wander very long, but fell immediately upon the monks of the mountain, and the young lover resolved to discover the truth and aveuge the insult. But how to creep into their den? He diguised himself as a servant and knocked at the gates of the castle. The pbened tobe then in want of aserving man, and he was engaged. He played his part so 8 that the friars soon lost all cantion before him. He then ac- a the certitude that not only his own e, Dut many other beautiful ladies were a er l other bountiful Young : —— — — comasee nightly orgies of the most abominable char acter. He swore vengeance against the wretches, and, escaping from the house, went directly to the Judge at Cusset, a neigh- boring town, to whom he related the whole affair. He offered to be at once the guide and chief of the expedition which was to be directed against the migcreants. Eight hundred soldiers were sent to besiege the castle. The guiity Knights, surrounded in their den,resisted during several days, withthe fury of despair. Several as- Saults of the soldiers were repulsed, but such was the ardor of the besiegers’ chief that nothing could discourage him and his hatred was shared by his men. At last the doors were broken open and the towers scaled. Such monks as had not perished in the defence were immediately put to the sword. Beauti- ful Margaret and her unfortunate companions were restored to liberty, but, alas! she soon died, overcome with soame and sorrow. The officers of justice set fire to the castle. Of this building nothing remains but the iew stones that are yet to be seen at the top of the Mala- vaux. The ancient feudal castle of BOURBON-BUSSET is near Vichy and is on the summit of a mountain. Its towers are adorned with bat- tlements and the gate protected by a draw- bridge, whose rusty chains hang useless by the castle walls. The view of the surround- ing country, from the stone terrace,is superb. The village Vernet, near by, is celebrated for the tailof a horse, which is shown in the parish church. The horse was supposed to belong to St. George, the patron saint of the village. It appears thatthe tail of the holy animal is endowed with the privilege of caus- ing the prompt marriage of the girl fortunate enough to touch it with her hand on the dedi- cation day. ‘Then, many a girl lurks in the vicinity, anxious to propitiate the powers that be, but is often prevented from touching the tail, by the presence of troublesome spec- tators. However, the talisman is frequentiy caressed and every year sees many a girl mar- ried at Vernet. There are many other excur- sions in the neighborhood of Vichy which serve to while away the time of the invalid. The carriages used here are very easy victorias, witb linen tops, secured by ropes and steel springs, to shieid from the too ardent rays of the sun and to admit the air freely. Donkey rides, too, are fashionable, and one feels often as if it would only be fair if the fat Frenchwomen who sit in the saddies would sometimes get down and carry the donkey. A pretty landau drawn by goats is much patronized by the children, and is con- ducted bya female Jehu in mob cap, who steps briskly along beside her steeds. Beg- gars are numerous here and areto be met at every turn. The importunities of the stroll- ing singers are almost as troublesome, for one seldom has the pleasure of hearing a good voice. Bazaurs of every description line the streets, in which are to be seen objets d' art, tine pictures, elegant jewels, etc., brought from Paris, Cannes and Nice for the selection of the voyager. Flowers are in extreme abundance, and itis diflicultto choose when the brilliant corbeille de fleurs is held up for inspection. The largest and most elegant bou- quets of roses, etc., sold for 1 france or 20 counts. R. W. THE MILITARY. The Sham Battle at the Fair Grounds— Armory Gossip.

A Slight Change of Programme—A New Topical Song—Daisy Murdock’s Tribute— Is Bernhardt Crazy?—Gossip About Plays and Players—Coulisse Chat. The programme at the Cave has been changed to some extent. Instead of produc- ing ‘‘Macaire’’ to-night, as was expected, the production has been postponed until Monday night. To-night and to-morrow night that tuneful opera Three Black Cloaks’’ will be given. The postponement of ‘*Macaire’’ will undoubtedly enable the company to give a better performance, as some of the new mem- bers arrived only recently and need more time for rehearsal. The new opera under the title of ‘‘Erminie’’ has made an immense success at the New York Casino andistuneful and bright. The music is by Jobowski and the libretto by Harry Poulton. The plot follows the drama „ Robert Macaire’’ and affords abundant op- portunity for handsome costuming and amusing incidents. The cast will be composed of the new Thompson Opera Company as it will be con- stituted forthe regular season and will intro- duce a number of new and clever people with a pretty chorus. The full cast was given in the PosT- DISPATCH a day or two ago. ‘‘Macaire’’ will be the closing attraction at the Cave and on the following week all ofthe regular theaters excepting the Standard will open, The Standard opens September 5. A New Topical Song. Mr. M. C. Woodward and Mr. Wm. B. Johns, the librettist and musical director of the Thompson Opera Company, have written and composed a new topical song which promises to makeahit. It is dedicated to Nate Sals- bury, and will probably be used by him in the ‘‘Troubadours.’’ Mr. Wolff will probably sing itatthe Cave, and Farron will sing it at the People’s during his engagement week. The music is catchy, and the metre can be adapted to any subject. The song is entitled „With a Great Big Capital.“ Here are sev- eral sample verses: They say that society’s awfully strict And condemns all foppish Sspley And out of its circle the dudes wil be kicked, Yes, kicked with a capital K; The dude with his pet. the light cigarette, Is with some quite a hero they say, With me he would pass for no more than an ass With a great big capital A.

Daisy Murdock. Well has Kirke White in prayerful poem said: Gently, most gently, on thy victim’s head Consumption lay thy hand!’’ and so we prayed That death’s hard hand on her be lightly laid; And if she must be ta’en, that God should steep Her soul in semblance of a peaceful sleep. And so it was: for little Daisy died As daylight gently dies at eventide. Her youth was beautiful. So pure her heart That virtue seem’d its natura mw opine! uate By force of fate, despite her tender age, She gain’d her home’s support upon the stage; But fate was kind, and wishing aid to lend, It turned each — ucquaintance to a friend. But oh, how brief was Daisy’s stage career; For — ig seem’d jealous of her sojourn ere, And at the mandate of the King of Kings Transformed her fairy guise to angel's wings. Grim Death, inexorable, gave the call And freed her spirit from her body’s thrall. One day in fairy wings the boards she trod On — pinions now she meets her God! Thus did the stage to Death its harvest yield, And gave the fairest Daisy of the field. : M. CROKER WOODWARD. St. Louis, August 17, 1886. Coulisse Chat.

From the New York Wonbn. This is my first attempt ata libretto,’’ said Mr. Hoyt, speaking of The Maid and the Moonshiner,’’ and after it is seen it may be pretty clear that my ideas on opera aren’t worth having. Anticipate failure? Not exact- ly. I hope for success. But I can’t tell. It may prove something dire bad. If {t .does, and my temerity in attempting the work brings mea critical keel-hauling, I shall ic¢ast have the satisfaction of having the oom pany that misery loves, for American — ers of comic opera have not been universally successful. There's one thing certain. We— Imean Mr. Solomon, who has written the music; Mr. Duff, the manager, and myselfi—bave all worked hard to make the opera a success, and Miss Russell has aided us reatly, You’ve no idea how much work here is in getting one of these productions on the stage. Think of the labor of drilling the choruses, the inventing and arranging of every stage uping, of every step and movement to fit the music and the every—yes, absolutely every—gesture to fit the sense of the text! Andthen the struggle to teach choruses of forty to do all these things, to do them grace- fully and to do them precisely together! Why, sawing wood is a rollicking recreation com- pared to it. And after you've got them to do all these things perfectly at rehearsal, the chances are that in the excitement of playing some will forget or go wrong. However, I'm perfectly satisfied with the way things are re- hearsing.’’ THE SWEDISH NIGHTINGALE. Her Marriage and Magnificent Bridal Robes —The Ceremony. From the London Graphic. Although no official intimation of the fact will be made until after the religious wedding at Madrid in September, we understand that the civil wedding of Mme. Christine Nilsson and the Count Casa de Miranda has already been celebrated in London in the presence of the Spanish and Swedish Ministers. The Queen of Spain has sént as a wedding present a diamond and pearl brooclr. Her Majesty the Queen has given an autograph and portrait, and the Rothschilds family have sent a pair of brown thorough- bred carriage horses and a massive silver dessert service. The bride is 43 and the bridegroom 45; while the Count has al- ready a daughter 20 years old, whom Mme. Nilsson some time ago adopted. King Oscar of Sweden and other royalties have sent let- ters of congratulation. Although not strictly a musicai topic, our lacy readers may doubt- less be glad of some brief description of the trousseau. At the civil ceremony the cos- tume was a pale blue surah dress, embroid- ered with point d’Angleterre and bonnet to match. The ‘‘going away dress’’ is tailor- cut blue serge, spotted with yellow, and with goid buttons earing the bride’s married initials, which being C. M. happen to be identical with those of her husband. The real wedding dress at the religious ceremony will be avery pale heliotrope peluche, with gauze in front, trimmed with a delicate lilac, claire de lune, jet collar, high trimmed with pearls, tulle bonnet, trimmed with pearls and a bunch of tea roses. Next comes Mme. Nilsson’s ‘*state’’ dress, iu which she will be presented at the Spanish court, where the Count de Mi- randa is chamberlain. This wondrous cos- tume is arich white broche silk, with short skirt, bodice and devant de jupe, covered with Brussels lace, the long train trimmed accord- ing to Spanish etiquette with white ostrich feathers. The necklace and diadem are of the ‘*‘Nilsson’’ diamonds. For more homely use, there are two tea gowns, one of gray poplin and the other of pink Surah, both smothered in lace. A dinner costume is of pale bine crepe de chine, with apron and bodice, all embroidered with gold, deep collar, point d’Alencon and blue broche silk train. wend the evening dress of lilac faille, covered with silver embroidery, and the white tulle ball toilet, trimmed with roses and little knots or bouquets of lace and peurls. With which, and with all due apologies for journalistic inquis- itiveness, we take humble leave of Mme. Nils- son’s trosseau. — — — WHAT IRVING HAS DONE, The Difficulties That Confront an Actor on the Stage. From the World. If people, said Richard Mansfield in an interview recently had with him, ‘‘had any realization of the earnest work and arduous study incumbent upon an actor who stands in the blaze of the footlights, where every move- ment of the body, expression of the face and eye, every tone of the voice carries with ita meaning to the public, they would hesitate to applaud the imitations of Henry Irving—imi- tations, too, which bear solely upon his ee- centricities of manner and speech, and do not reproduce his great abilities. Ithink the pub- lic that regards lightly or with as tonishment the fame of this great artist is hardly aware how much he has done for the stage, and how. much greater he is owing to the almost insuperable obstacles of voice and appearance he has had to first overcome. I question whether—amus- ing as it may be—it is right that a young actor should hold up to ridicule the peculiarities of the man who is to-day at the head of the dramatic profession, and who has done so much more than any actor in recent times to make our calling an honoyed one. I must say I think we owe deference toainan who haus piaced us in an enviable position, who has not only opened to us a sociul recognition beyond any we have yetenjoyed, but has also taught us that there is a nobler path and a newer and better way to fortune. lie has opened our eyes to the fact that with us lies the encouragement and development of that noblest form of poetry, the dramatic, and that it is possible to be more than mere actors, to be ourselves the embodiment and exposi- tion of poetry, art and history, besides ali the most delicate and elusive shadows of charuc- ter and emotion. It Irving has done notbing more, he has made straight the way,’ he has given us entirely new ideas and set us think- ing, Had he been born favored by nature in voice and figure, he would, to my mind, have been the greatest actor the world hus ever seen. — — — — IS BERNHARDT CRAZY? An Impression in Paris that She Is Devel- oping Insanity, From a Paris Letter. I have just listened to the reading of a letter written by a mad woman—I mean. by a verita- ble lunatic, one of whom the alienists would only require such evidence in seif-condemna- tion as this letter represents. The writer’s name is Sarah Bernhardt. She writes from Rio de Janeiro to a trusted friend here. And such a jumble of boasts and lamentations, of bon mots and imbecilities, it bas never until now been my privilege to hear, with the knowledge that they are ali seriously meant. If this letter were to be read on the stage, as a feature of a roaring farce, it would be the most humorous part of the perform. ance, No sane mind could conceive this astound- ing composition, and no sane hand put it on paper. itis a nightmare put into words; a devil's dance of insane vanities and demented fancies, of crazy hatreds and the sulien suspi- cions of u diseased intelligence. And through it all runs a piercing wail of despair—the ery ot u woman weary to the death of work and of play, ofart and of mankind, of doing any- thing and of doing nothing, detesting lite, and afraid that death may at every moment find her out, Poor Bernhardt! The fury of a life of sensa- tions has brought her to the pass of the mor- phio-maniac, who has increased the doses till the drug has lost its power to do aught but madden or murder. A few months azo Il spent an evening at the lay with a friend. My companion was a ournalist, from whom the town has no secrets. A lifetime of social friction has made him a cynic without destroying his good nature. The world isan open book to him, oa reads it with cold but not prejudiced Jes. It was a great play and a great actress that we studied. But there was a something about the stage that did not belong there, an un- reulity thateven the theater did not excuse, The players were uneasy. They acted vaguely and their eyes were restiess and full of watch. fulness, and, it seemed to me, of dread. If the h 8 had veen admissible, I would have decided that they were all drunk, The central figure of the performance was the most singular one of all.

If she did not have to use it in her part, they certainly would not. There was a blood-curdling sincerity in this declaration that rendered its subject doubly fascinating to me. I watched her till the act ended, and it made me so nervous that I took my hat and went out. It seemed to me that at any moment this 1 would go raving mad under my eyes. 1 wane back the next night and the next. It was always the same thing: the actress ani- mated by forces beyond her control, her fel- low artists watching her as cats might watch a mouse, and all through tue audience those cruel, cynical and sardonic faces one sees only in Paris, who came not to see the play, but to be there when the crazed brain of its heroine collapsed and the artist became an imbecile or a fury. This an the secret of Bernhardt’s phenom- enally successful farewell season in the city that had made her famous, a success that no one credited her with the ability to achieye. It was not that her old worshipers wanted to see her act any longer. She has long ceased to be alode-star for them. But they wanted to see her reach the climax of her career in an explosion of public sensationalism, just as she had lived her whole perverted and reck- less life, Herimpending mental annihilation was regarded as beyond question, and it had assumed the importance of apublic event. Men had wagers of dinners. on_ how long it would be in arriving, and women had boxes of gloves and lace handkerchiefs dependent on the result as if it had been a horse- race ora regatta. THE FAIR FORTESCUE. Something Interesting About the New En- glish Stage Curiosity. Howard Paul in the World. Now two of these much-talked-of stage beauties are about to descend on these hospi- table shores. I will take Miss Fortescue first. Sheis really quite aristocratic-looking, has bright eyes, and grief and disappointment have never touched her delicately rounded cheeks. Her features are almost Classical in their regularity, and she dresses with exquisite taste. Her affair with Lord Garmoyle was expanded into the proportions of a stupen- dous reclame. ‘his callow Don uan was sincerely smitten with the chorus girl ot the Savoy, and D’Oyly Carte, who is a profound man of the world and means business every time, advised her to listen to the Garmoyle suit and ‘‘land’’ the young aristocrat if possible. But she had about as much love for him as she had for her pug dog. The lordling was wanting in the itt that captivates all dames de la coulisses, no matter how obscure they may be—namely, brains. Soalittle comedy was enacted. La Fortescue was conveyed to the home of her flance on approval, as it were. Lord and Lady Cairns looked her over and pronounced her loud and too theatrical in style. The young chorister played her role adroitly—she knew what she was about—and the end of it was the Karl und Countess forbade the marriage. This was act one in the comedy. Act two was estrangement and a sensation suit for breach of promise. Here W. 8. Mikado Gil- bert appeared on the scene as a special ad- viser—it was as r as concocting a plot for an opera-bouſfe to direct an affair d'amour like this, and act three closed up with swing- ing damages—£10,000. The curtain came down with a bang, the comedy had bcen well consid- ered, cleverly prompted, admirabiv acted, and after the bullion was duly handed over, the lordling stole off to forget his sorrows in such excitement as he might find in the United States. Now, said Gilbert, you must re- sume the stage while the public are talk ing about you. Don't lose a mo- ment, ma chere; 1 will coach you, and you shall appear in one of my plays.“ You see, Gilbert had a hard eye to business (he always has), and the result was, as a jilted beauty with 10,000 golden sovereigns rattling in her pocket, the British public crushed to see her. In the meanwhile she has been learn- ing and practising her art, and by the time she reaches New York I have no doubt she will be quite a nice actress. To my mind, when | iust saw her she was the perfection of what is called in theatrical parlance ‘‘a walk- ing lady.’’ Of power, emotional instinct and that indefinable, subtle charm that is called genius, she has not a grain. But off the stage she is immensely clever, as the engineering of her dalliances and courtship with Garimoyle prove. She no more meantto marry him than she did the maninthe moon, She knew a trick worth two ofthat. Ten thousand pounds to ‘‘solace her bruised and outraged feelings’’ was a screaming caricature. Gilbert ought to have been awarded a commission. As the Arch Fiend of Topsyturveydom he never at¢com- plished a better stroke than this. He will make a play of it some day. I'll be sworn he has pigeon-holed the incident for future ex- pansion. Fllen Terry Wardell. From Town Topics. Several friends have asked me what is the meaning of the insertion in the press after Ellen Terry’s name of Mrs. Wardell Miss Terry was ata very early age, by the absurd machinations of Mrs. Nassau Santor and Mrs. Tom Taylor, married to George F. Watts, the painter, then old enough to be her father. Mrs. Senior, who wasacatof the tamest de- scription round Watt’s studio, thought Mrs. Grundy would talk less if Watts had a wife. The victim was little Ellen. Mrs. Watts, finding she wus not to be the real mistress of the establishment, kicked over the tracesand lett the distin- guished artist to his antiques and his curiosi- tics, and returning to the stage resumed her maiden name and later was divorced. When playing atthe Covent Theater in New Men and Old Acres’’ she fell in love with that gush- ing, blind enthusiasm which distinguishes her and adds such a charm to her acting, with an actor named Wardell (playing under the pseudonym of Charles Kelly), who repre- sented Brown. Wardell was fonder of alcohol thun of Ellen, and the marriage was not a happy one. He is dead, and she is still Mrs. Wardell. THE HOUSEHOLD. Retail Prices of Sundry Supplies That Cheer the Inner Man.

Policemen on Trieyeles- How Their Efficien- ey Would Be Increased-A Red Tape Nuisance—Stewart’s Position—To-Night’s Meeting of the C.S.U.—Notes and Gos- sip. It is but true that the day of cycling has only dawned in St. Louis, and that the wheel is far from having entered the fields it is des- tined to conquer. Doctors and ministers in England and New England have found the wheel invaluable. in making their calls, the Post-offlce carriers of English cities use the tricycle numerously and messenger boys in England and in the Eastern American cities use the bicycle to a great extent. The Long Branch (N. J.) Dis- trict Telegraph and Messenger Company in the last Bulletin, the official organ of the League of American Wheelmen, published a certificate that bicycles had become indis- pensable for the prompt collection and de- livery of telegrams and messages. And the Post-DIsPaTCH has repeatedly furnished proot of the value of the wheelin the collection of news. TRICYCLING VS. TRAMPING. Why the wheel is restricted to only such fields of practical usefulness is not clear, The narrowness of its limits and the prejudice that opposes a broadening will be plain to anyone who will stand on one of the asphalt streets in the West End of an evening and watch the po- lice officer on duty wearily and slowly tramping around his beat, attempting to keep an eye on about a dozen streets at once. The question will naturally arise: Is there no way by which the officer can cover the required distance in a shorter time provided he does not in any way impair his efiiciency? The answer will be found in the tricycies rolling silently by. With one of these a policeman would be many times more effective. Take for instance an officer having such Jefferson avenue down Pine to Eighteenth, across to Washington, thence to Jef- ferson avenue and across to bine street again. He cannot cover this beat and do it well short ofan hour. But on a tricycle he could go around the entire circuit in a quarter ofthe time and at the end not be footsore from tramping over the stone pavements; he couid stop fast driving because he could over- haul the offender; he could respond more rap- idiy toa call; he could steal quietly up and down the streets and alléysand not as now announce his coming to a burglar four blocks away by the resounding of his heavy boots on the pavement. SOME OF THE WHEEL’S undeniable advantages are explained by the positions an officer has been placed in. A wagon loaded with macadam was trotting down the asphalt hill, dropping rocks along the strect. The driver was warned Dy a po- liceman and promised not to drop any more and drove on. The officer saw the dropping a beat as from continued but couldn't stop the team. He rushed over to Olive street and luekily catching a car managed to overtake the wagon. Withatricycle he could have caught the driver in two minutes. Again: Itisnightandthe relief is due in a few minutes. Word comes that a man is act- ing suspiciously around a house at the fur- therest corner of the beat. If he goes over he will miss the relief, ifhe don’t, a robbery may result. His quandary would have disappeared if he had hada tricvele, for on it he could have noiselessly swept over to the desired spot and back again in afew minutes. OBJECTIONS ANSWERED. Some of the objections to this course of pro- cedure, and the only ones in fact, are: How could the officer make an arrest, and how could the entire force be mounted on such costiy things us tricycies?’ In the first place, he could make an arrest more quickly than if he were horseback, because he could leave his tricycle without any fear of its running away, and because nobody would dare steal it. in the second piace, their use could be restricted to those having beats along good streets and to those willing to purchase a tricycle. NO RULE AGAINST IT, A policeman baving expressed a willingness to purchase a tricycle for use on his beat pro- vided there was no law of the Police Board against it, a reporter of the Fosr-Disraren called at the City Hall and on Chiet of Police Huebler. At both places he was informed that there was no law against it, the rules of the Board having been tramed before tricycles were invented. Several of the authorities were inclined at first to scout the teasibility until the advantages were set forth when they listened in silence. STEWART SOLID. Some individual with more bitterness than brains and more sarcasm than sense, tries to make it appear, in the Sporting News this week, that A. K. Stewart objected to the way the invitation was issued forthe 1887 League meet because he was not consulted. Mr. Stewart, in the POST-DISPATCH last Saturday, took loftier ground than persona pique and said nothing but what was calculated to keep wheelmen alive to the danger of allowing Cesarism to creep into the ranks of the Missouri Division. What he objected to was any invitation that over- looked the necessity for a full discussion and free expression of opinion on the matter, and it may not be too late to say that, although there are muny who believe the meet ought to assemble here next year, there is an intelligent body which believes that the members of the division who will have to bear any financial deficit that may resuit ought to know fully what it is they are about to undertake. Mr. Stewart does not criticise the Board's authority to make the invitation, but when there was pienty of time to calla meeting to consider the subject he thinks that the belief in other parts of the division that a certain majority is trying to dictate would have been dispelled by even a show of a desire to give every section a voice. IS IT CENTRALIZATION? If there is one thing that the divisions ought to find cut it is whether their local affairs must be settled in Philadelphia. A case in point arises in the efforts of A. A. Hart to se- cure un L. A. W. garment from the st. Louis agent handling the League goods. As he wanted the article as soon as possible he presented his League ticket, but it was rejected and he was told that Secretary Aaron of Philadelphia wouid have to be addressed as to his membership. Hart was well known to the agent, had got some goods there only a short time before, but he was put to all the delay because the League last 1 decided that League gar- ments were only doliverable on the National Secretary’s certification. In the light of such a revelation of red tape it seems that it is in order to inguire whether Division Secretaries or Chief Consuls are not able to pass upon a person’s membership without compelling a delay necessary to the correspouding with Mr. Aaron. TO-NIGHT’S MEETING. b The Cyclists’ Social Union to-night at Del. monico’s promises to be unusually interesting and especially instructive to those entering the parade. Wheelmen outside of the com- mittee will contribute ideas regarding illumina- tion and costuming, and the stock of informa- tion will be materially increased. Lindell avenue isin fine condition and every wheel- man ought to ride out to the meeting. Notes. The Missouris’ rambler is to Ballwin. The Ramblers’ ramble is on the Clayton and Natural Bridge roads. The meeting to night at Delmonico’s will be of the Cyclists’ Social Union and not of a little bike.

PHILADELPHIA, August 20.—The average American, unfamiliar with Philadeiphia, is apt to regard it as the dullest large city on the continent. Jim Collier tells of a mythical New Yorker who came over here once upon a time, bought him a bag of Absecon oysters, left them in astore while he went around the corner to see a man, came back in half an hour and found them, every one dead of— ennui. Often when I go over to New York I am asked how I contrive to live in such a - sleepy old overgrown village. Well, it may not be as lively as some places that I know of in bluster and brag, but in pugil- istic matters it is far from being dead or slow. Phere are more scientific fighters here than in any other place in the country. We have them all sizes and colors, and if any thumper in the land, bar none, not even Sullivan, thinks he can come here and not find in a week six men, one a night, ready to face him four rounds, Marquis of Queensberry rules, he is much mis- taken. Yes, and they will make it pretty warm, too, for any but the big fellow. Many a good mun has found this out to his cost. Jack Dempsey got four of the hardest rounds he ever had in his life here last winter froma fellow who worked at street paving up to6 o'clock of the night he fought. Dempsey, good as he is, wants no more six Philadelphians a week in his. — 19 * Among other things that we excel in is the possession of the boss master of ceremonies. In the good old days when Mike McCool was champion and kept a drum in your city it was his custom to announce for its attractions on each Saturday night a list of flstie celebrities of unparalleled merit. Meny of my readers will laugh as they remember how cleverly Billy Emerson used to imitate Mike's speech to his audience explaining the causes of their non-appearance. It ran about like this: ‘‘Gintelmen, I’m sarry to hav to tellyez that Joe Coburn, who wuz to hev bin here to-night, met with a bad axidint Chewsda and cudden’tcome. He wuz step- pin’ ovir the gutter av Bradway an’ fell down an dislockated his showider. I hev a tele- graph bere frum Jem Mace sain’ to make his regards till yez an’ say that he’s mortial sorry his father died thes mornin’, an’ he has to stay home an' berry him. Oney Geegan has a case in coort that demands his immaydiate attention. He'll not be here, but meself an’ Sherman Thurston ill do the wind up, an’l hope everythin’ II go off pleasant and con- genial. * 10 * Mike was his own u. C., but Johnny Clark, the famous light-weight, has a dawling' for his in the person of Denny Butler, the cham- pion swimmer, boxer and general all around athlete. Denny igasonofthe sod, with just enough of the brogue on his tongue to make that fact patent. All the boxers who appear ut Clark’s either fight for medals or are paid specified sums, consequently there is no trou- ble in pairing them. All that is necessary is to make them siug from the word go. Phila- delphia audiences admire science when it is accompanied by hard hitting, but if they can’t have both they want siugging every time. No one knows this better than Denny, and no one knows better than be how to egg the lads on. Clark’s is patronized by females as well as by the sterner sex and Denny is very proud of the fact. Heinvariably recognizes the patronage of beauty in his announcements. Here is the way he introduced acouple of darky boxers the other night: Ladees and Gentlemen—You came here to see fun, and here’s where you get the worth of yer money every time. Every contest here’s on its merits, an it yeh see any thet yeb think ain’t on the level let me know an the’ll either scrap for keeps or never ap- pear on this stage again. Of course, I like to see yeh’s applaud a good point, that’s only right an’ it gives a man encouragement,but do itin reason an never shout out or say any- thing that Ii hurt a man’s feelins. It's enough to get a smash on the jaw without bein’ jeered besides. Swipes! take great pleas- uré in introducing to-night Johnny Banks (come down here Johnny an’ make a bow) the colored middie weight boxer of America, and the Silver Bean, (this is the Bean—don t wipe yer nose with yer glove) the colored middle- weight champion of Pennsylvania. They fought onct and Banks win. Then they foughtadraw. Now, if Banks wins to- hight the Bean shan’t never appear on this stage again. If Banks is licked he shan’t never spar bere again, either. Ifthey make a draw ofit, they’il hev to go somewhere else to fight t ot. That's right. That goes. I'Il have no monkey bizness here. Remember one thing. This is the only place where you can see a syuare fight, and if you want to see this con- test you must keep order. If you don’t, I'll stop it right away an’ you won't see the fun. You can’tstop it, but I can. This goes. Fact. twipes. Now, shake hands and let's see what yer made of. Thus ab- sured the darkies went at each other like two storm clouds. It was thump, bump, bang, smash and repeat until the three minutes were up. As they sat on their chairs receiving the attention of their seconds, Den- by slipped over to Banks and whispered, Upper cut him as he comes in. Then he walked overtothe ‘‘Bean’’ and mildiy en- couraged him with Co at him as quick us time’s called. Hees blowing now for wind. Don’t give nim any chance to spar for it.’’ Thus stimulated they fought until the Bean got it into his head that the referee was torninst him. Then he pulled off his gloves and would fightno more. He and Banks had fought three of as hard rounds as I ever saw and Denny was the cause of their terrific con- tention. That night there was no less than four glove fights at Clark’s and all witha Variety show thrown in, wereto be seen for from 10 to 75 cents according to the part of the house you patronized. Butler would be out of place leading a German, but he is just the man for Clark's by a large majority. * * Inorderto bring the Sullivan and Hearid maten off at the Schutzen Park at Union Hill, back of Hoboken, its managers have had to annonnee that it will be no slugging match, at a contest for scientific points.“ This Will be good news forthe friends of Sullivan, Who have been anxious and afraid that he Would not getin condition for a fierce strug- Ele.

Perhaps it is just as well for him that he does not. ale MPR EELS There is talk of another match between Jack Fogarty and Joe Illingsworth. I think it would be difficult to bring it about. The club men of New York are pretty well satisfied that Joo has no chance with Fogarty and they are not the kind of men to pay to see anything whose finish isa foregone conclusion. Fogarty is very anxious to go West and try conclusions with some ofthe lads out there. He fancies himself a good match for Peter Nolan, and though Peter is bigger and heavier than he is, he is willing to meet him at catch weights. If Nolan’s friends are willing Jack will be only too glad to go to Cincinnati and meet him. Fogarty is etting big very fast, and it would be hard or him to fight at much less than 155 pounds. He believes that his skill and activity will be a atand off for Nolan’s strength and size. Should they meet the contest will be of National im- portance, Fogarty has never been beaten but once, andthen he was oy against Jack Dempsey before he had the experience or strength that he now possesses. Nolan’s re- sponse to this invitation will be awaited with interest. ae + * „ As yet Tommy Danforth has not responded to Tommy Warren’s challenge, which is some- what surprising,as not long since he appeared to be very anxious to get on with him. You cant always tell whether or not a man is as anxious as he would have folks believe. Ed Clark of this city, a very promising young featherweight, is anxious to have a go at Dan- forth and a messenver is now in New York to make a match between them to take place in private. Should it come off and shouid Clark win he will be backed against Warren for $1,000. Efforts will be made to have Warren come here early this fall or winter, and then no doubt some of our bantams will havea chance athim. tere If the match between Paddy Ryan and Frank Glover is not a hippodrome affair I think Paddy will find that he has bit off more than he can chew. Glover is not scientific, neither is Paddy, but he is young, strong and willing, u hard hitter and a game man, and if I were betting I would wager a red apple against a dollar bill that he bests the Trojan. Stick a pin in this prediction, MACON, JUSTINA. A New Love Story From a Female 3 Hand. Justina, Boston, Roberts Bros.,1886; Cloth 16mo, $1. It is the fashion nowadays to sneer at love stories and attempts have been made, with but moderate success, to write stories in which love has no part. People also attempt occasionally to marry without love, but the resultin both casesis apt to be disastrous. The strongest passion of which our nature is capable is as neces- sary to the successful delineation of aplot asto conjugal happiness. A story without any love in it is but a pale, vapid re- flection of the real thing; like artificial eggs, it satisfies hunger but affords no pleasure to the palate. For our part we like a love story, but, like everything else, it requires to be good of its kind. And talking of romance, what a pity it is that there is so much of it in fiction and so little in life. After all, how commonplace every circumstance of our life becomes. Even if we could enact a complete love tale in our own experience it would be stale, flat, commonplace, compared to the same series of events in the pages of a novel. When do we feel for ourselves the glamour, the delicious thrill—half passion, half sympathy—which enervates our whole being when Jack takes Edith in his arms in a novel and draws her to his throbbing breast. It is pleasant certainly to be caressed by those we love; but not half as ecstatic at its best, as when we experience it vicariously with our hero and heroine. Consequently a good love story is a very pleasant thing. It is the cream from the milk of romance, and no matter what cynically disposed critics may say, a novel without love is not worth abusing. The anonymous author of ‘‘Jus- tina’’ appearsto be of one mind with us, upon this question, for he or she has pro- duced a story which, if not a love tale, is cer- tainly very little else. Butin so doing he has also undertaken an- other task, and one the possibility of whose performance in real life is of the most dubious kind. Hegives us a woman of 23, and a man of 39, the ages when, as an English poet sings: the springs Of Life are fullest; when love clings With passion to its mate, and attempts to prove that, loving one another inadly, and with that love acknowledged on both sides, they can live in constant, daily and most affectionate intercourse, not only without yielding to their mutual passion, but also without arousing scandal in an Eastern town. With this ground to go upon, we respect- fully submit that the anonymous author of „Justina“ is a member of the gentler sex. A man would be well aware that while human nature retains its natural weaknesses no such consummation is possible. ‘‘Lead us not into temptation’’ was not recommended amongt our prayers for nothing. There are also one or two other points in the delineation of the plot which betrays the sex of the author, but, on the whole, the book is admirably put together and forms a powerful, well-written and most interesting novel. The plot is commonplace enough. We have met the man with an insane and vicious wife, passionately in love with another woman, a few times before, both in fiction and in real life. The only difference is that whereas in fiction he invariably remains remarkably and unnecessarily loyal to a partner from whom the laws ofany country would release him, in real life he does nothing ofthe kind, but either procures a divorce as soon as the law will give it to him or else makes himself happy without it. It must be owned, however, that the writer has, sensibly enough, made the woman the firmer and more resolute of the two; giving thereby an aspect of probability to the story which otherwise would be rather glaringly impossible. We are introduced to the heroine no later in the story than page I, the hero making his bow on page3. Justinais traveling through Bel- gium, escorted by a placid German professor, on her way to America, from whence she has been an exile for ten years. She has buried her mother in the little foreign town, and is now returning to her native land at the invi- tation of an uncle who has offered her a home. Her debut is made amid picturesque sur- roundings. Seated in the foreign railway com- partment and peering into the gray Flemish distance she wonders if what meets her view in the hazy beyond is a glimpse of sullen seas, or simply dim, gray distance, made up of the same materials as the present sur- roundings towards which the swift train shot. a This was the question in Justina’s mind. She sat in the bn heart ofthe picture in a well padded, d blue compartment of this Belgian railway train and asked it out of ber gray-brown eyes. The question was largely metaphorical, as is natural with the questions ofan imaginative and thoughtful girl. The coming, was it the past over again’—an un- known sea,or dull, familiar earth? The girl was in that mood of mingled regret and hopefui- ness which comes tous all, at times of change. And stronger than either feeling, perhaps, was the curiosity that is given to youth, the inter- est in the unfolding story of life. Lateron we are introduced to the hero, though we do not find out till nearly half the volume is behind us that he is intended to fill that important position. -He is not even our heroine’s first fance. She engages herself to another man before either she or the reader is given any reason to suppose that John Nolte is to play any partin her life story, Here is his introduction: A third traveler, the only other occupant of the coupe, sat at the opposite window at the farthest removed from Justina. He was evi- dently only a chance compagnon de voyage of the two others. He had the indefinable air of & man traveling alone with no one to care for or to think of—a ~— carelessness of dress, an absence of any immediate interest. Jus- tina, with a girl’s ready judgment, bad, after a glance or two, condemned this man as si- lent. She aamitted that there could have been no occasion for him to be otherwise than si- lent, that she would have been surprised and robably displeased if he had been otherwise. Nevertheless, the verdict justified itself to her mind, and she could have supported it by sev- eral good arguments. While the two other travelers (Justina and her escort) theorized, each after his separate fashion, what was this man doing? Enduring one might conclude, after some study of the firm, deeply-lined forehead, the strong im- mobile mouth. Yetthe gray eye was alert. There could be no present stress of pain. Be- hind the furrows of the forehead, thougbt was evidently going on—pure, cool thought (sic) unconnected with will or emotion. We pause in our extract to endeavor to an- alyze the above annotated expression. In the present state of the thermometer anything cool is welcome; but we were not aware that thought in the abstract was subject to temperature, As to the purity— by what mystical process can our author as- certain the purity of the thoughts revolving in aperson’s mind? Inthis age of shoddy we expect to find most tangible matter adulter- ated, but we hoped that thought might be exempt from the fate of matter. This reminds us of one of Miss Broughton’s definitions— Silence, perfect silence; tender, golden, fir- scented.’’ Pure, cool thought’’ is almost as bad as ‘‘fir-scented silence’’—and again we submit that our author has proved her sex— butto proceed, she has evidently some occult power of discerning ‘‘thought,’’ for she re- marks: Behind the furrows of the forehead thought was ‘‘evidently’’ oing on—pure, cool thought, unconnected with will or emotion. This traveler's impediments marked him asa naturalist. A long botanical case lay by his side, and over his head was a box, from which — insect pipings issued in the pauses of the When the travelers arrived at Antwerp, the lady’s chaperone, who was to ee our heroine safely across the German Ocean, failed to ma- terialize. In her stead came a telegram, say- ing she would be there that evening. In some perplexity the Professor, who could not wait, looked about for some one to whom he could intrust his charge, and happening to hear that their fellow traveler was also en route for England, the Professor asked him to keep an eye upon the young lady until her lawful guardian appeared. This Mr. Rolfe consented to do, and as the Fraulein still further delayed her coming, he assisted the young lady on to the boat and gave her such assistance as he deemed right, during the passage. On arriving in England, they separated, as it might be supposed, for ever, the gentleman to a house in the neighborhood and the lady to continue her journey toward these hospitable shores. In real life this would be the end of the story, naturally in fiction, it is but the beginnings The story ambles on gently through forty more pages and then Mrs. John Rolfes once more appears before the footlights. During the interval Justina had promised to tr to love“ a young man, Dr. Paul Bev- erly by name, who had proposed two or three times before. Justina did try honestly to love him, but her success was not great. A few pleasant society mectings with John Rolfe, a little music, one touch of nature in the form of beetles and trailing plants, and then a little incident occurred. During a ramble the girl slipped almost down a precipice, and was res- cued by her companion, Mr. Rolfe. Safe but trembling, and trembling with a wilder and more tumultuous excitement than the mere peril had evoked. For what was the truth which this peril had flashed upon their souls? What were the words danger had forced from this quiet man’s lips? ‘‘Oh, my love, he had whispered with his hot breath in her ears as he grasped her fast. Ou, my love, if I had lost you!!“ And now they stood trembling underthe tree, shaken witha sud- den and mighty joy, and reading in one parts of the spoken words. This trifling incident produced two results. Mr. Rolfe went away on his travels almost im- mediately, dragging his unwilling oid father ulong with him. Also Miss Justina Wilton’s semi-engagement with the young doctor came to an abrupt termination by the young lady's decision that she could not love him. Weeks and months pass@d by very quietly to Justina, and then Mr. Rolfe returned incited thereto by the illness of his father. But on his return he visited Mrs. Cholmondely, an old friend of his family, who was about to give a reception at which be knew Justina would be present, and the following conversation took place: Mrs. Cholmondely,’’ he said, ‘‘you know about my early life. + You know, I think, my present condition. You remember—’’ She looked up, and one glance moved her to help him. fes, she suid, ‘‘Il know your bonds. The fact is not known here, I have found. Will you do me the kindness to mention it this evening incidentally, andif possible without particuiars’’’ He shivered as he thought of the Easterly tongues. He turned at once and went back to meet his father, who was advancing, with Scott's as sistance, in the most smiling of moods. „What a face! thought Mrs. Cholmondely, as the carriage rolled down the drive, and genial old Mr. Rolfe cnattered on, while John satsilent by his side. ‘‘What a face! how fierce acd determined! Poor fellow! and Ire member him so different—the bright, noble youth by his mother’s side.’’ In the course of the evening Mrs. Chol mon- dely made her opportunity. It has been such a pleasure to me, she sald, to see the Rolfes again after so many years, especially John. I have known him since his youth, before his unhappy marriage; and his wife’s fami!v are old friends. Justina was standing by the piano. Mrs. Cholmondely, by some instinct, was looking at her at this moment. The girl put ont her band quickly, but quietly, and seiged the edge of the piano. Her face grew white, but not a muscle moved. * * As the walls of the room seemed to sway and totter about her she heard acutejy Mrs. Cholmondeiy’s voice above the chorus of questions: „Living still? Oh, yes. It 1s not our intention to follow our hero and heroine through all the intricacies of their love-story. Those who are fond of such read- ing may purchase the work for themselves. We will indulge our readers with just one more love scene to sharpen the interest we trust is ulready aroused, and then recommend them to the tender mercies of the Mercantile Library and the book stores. A few weeks after the reception Mr. Rolfe came to Justina to tell her his story. „Justina, he said, ‘‘we will not play with generulities to-day. I have come to tell youa story. You must let me tell it. * She looked at him, and knew that the time wascome. ‘‘Teil it, please, she said. So he told it. It appears that when a youth of 21, while staying at Canton, he met a pretty girl at a ball, and, heated with wine, had pro- posed marriage to her there and then. A day or two after he was seized with one ot the fevers common tothe climate. When he re- covered from the delirium he found that he had been taken tothe house of this girl’s father and nursed tenderly back into life—as the affianced husband of the eldest daughter ot the house. On his recovery he ment, and from a false sense of honor accepted the situation only to find after marriage that he had been led into a trap. The girl was subject to fits of insanity and epilepsy, was a perfect fury in temper andaserpentin cunning. As time passed the disease increased and the young husband sent tor the girl’s sisters and established the family 2 . , 28 * Soy Fe age MA TE ID Ce ky BCE TOON atone CMU GPR oh aT ERR Wale = whence he took journeys over the world re- EFT another’s eyes the confirmation and counter - was promptiy reminded of his engage- | in à pretty cottage on the English coast turning twice every year to spend a week or * in his miserable home. e stopped.

It was as if they stood by some freshly-made sacred grave. Then he went away through the wintry darkness and his 33 lay like a snow- white dove at his eart. The experienced novel reader will have no difficuity inseeing to the end of this little tragedy. After this the author undertakes to prove, as we hinted inan earlier parsgraph, that these two could live in one small town and in constant daily intercourse and yet be true and faithful to the poor, insane wife onafar-away shore. She expends much in- genuity, and seventy or eighty pages of excel- lent Writingin the attempt, during which her hero and heroine grow gracefully older until at last, when the woman was nearly 40 and the man fifteen years older, they reaped their reward through the death of the wife. What a moment it was! The full reward to- each of them for all that had gone before. ‘‘I am glad we lived it out, he had said in his delirium. lam glad we lived it out’’ their eyes said to one another now. On the whole, outside of its romantic side, we are inclined to like ‘‘Justina’’ both as a novel and as a character. Justiha, the woman, is somewhat a new character in fiction; or, rather, she is an old character amplified and improved. The other characters, with the exception, perhaps, of Rolfe are inere pup- pets, and he is as old as fiction. Character-drawing is not, so far as can be seen at present, the author's forte. She has proved, however, that she can draw a char- acter by the delineation of Justina. The working out of a plot is evidently the author's strong point, and originality and inventive power her weakest. We should like to see more originality both in character and plot in our author's next novel should she favor us with another. The book is full of delicate touches and pathetic allusions and interesting throughout. There is not a dull page in it. On the whole we are inclined to commend ‘‘Justina’’ cordially to our readers’ atten- tion. 7 OLD age may sigh for beauty’s doom, But Strauss’s camera returns youth’s bloom. — — — — FROM FRIENDS IN IRELAND.

Movement to Pay Off the Maroon Debt Inaugurated To-Day. Sketch of a Great and Only Battery—A Manager’s Ideas of Efiective Pitchers —Base Ball Matters—The Three-Year- Old Supremacy Puzzle—Boating and Boaters—Sports and Sporting. During the last ten days the eyes of the managers of the National League of Base Ball Clubs have been centered on St. Louis. They have been looking to the dissolution of the Maroons in order that they might secure one or two of the very few first-class players that club possesses and yesterday morning nearly every club in the League had representative in St. Louis. The base ball agents were quiet and unobtrusive and avoided being interviewed as far as they possi- bly could. They had come here on a special mission and they did not care par- ticularly to discuss their private business with others than those with whom they proposed to transact business. The majority of them will remain in the city until some final disposition is made of the Maroons. In this, however, they may find that their calculations are amiss and that the Maroons will continué to play ball at St. Louis, under home rule, for the balance of the season and for next season also. The club 1s now practically under the control of Mr. Fred Espenschied, and that gentleman has promised, inthe strongest and most em- phatic language, to ‘‘stick on’’ to the last minute so long as there was the slightest hope of saving the club to the city. This can be done, and easily too, if the proper méthods are used. There are numbers of gentlemen on *Change who will freely contribute the neces- sary balance to float the club over its present difficulties and give them a start of at least 55,000 with which to begin the sea- son. Manager Gus Schmelz said yesterday that the club is playing splendid ball; that Glasscock is a great success as a captain and the young pitchers upon whom he had been counting allthe season are begin- ning to develop into good workers. Besides all these things he counts upon the fall festiv- ities to help him out considerably. The Expo- sition opens early in September, and between now and the opening of conclave week all the great League clubs are scheduled to play in St. Louis. If the requisite money can be brought together in time the preblemof the Maroons will be solved. — * + Horaee Phillips, the hustler, is stopping with his club at the St. James Hotel. Horace is the only base ball man in the country whose des- tiny throws him towards St. Louis, who puts up at any but a first-class establishment, but this fact does not particularly interfere with the ability of the ‘*gang’’ to play good ball. I was talking to Hustier to-day and he says that his contract with the Pittsburg people will not expire until the lst of November. That was the reason he gave for not exposing the ideas of the Pittsburgs on the inuch-talked- of consolidation scheme. He was uncertain as to whether he would be re-engaged as manager of the Alleghenys, and therefore did net care to talk ex-oflicio. Personally, however, he was inclined tothe belief that a new organization including the best clubs of the Association and the Phillies, Detroit, Chi- cago, New York und Boston would be quite a paying institution, and that he agreed with spalding that such an organization is only a question of time. Going on the presump- tion that, aiter ail, there will be but five pay- ing clubs in the League next year, and that they unite with the five best clubs in the As- sociation, an excellent combination would be the result. Of course the weaker clubs in the latter body would be strengthened by the players left foot loose in the break-up and thus playing equilibrium could be secured. The only obstacie in the way of such aleague would be that experienced in making up aconvenientschedule. It has been found, strangely enough, that an association whose number or clubs is a factor of three is more easily adapted to a perfect schedule than one whose nuinber of clubs is not. It is not unlikely that the eight clubs at present form- ing the American Association will remain in- tactand help to make up a twelve-club body which would meet ail of the schedule require- ments. * * + Iasked Mr. Phillips his reasons for think ing that such a consolidation was only a mat- ter of time and he said that the base ball situa- tion is coming to a crisis when something must be donein orderto make the game pay. Peo- le are tired, he said, of seeing the same old aces and the same old clubs year after year and there was no better proof of this fact than the status of the treasury, of not alone the Pittsburg Club, but of every other in the Association. The superior at- traction of the crack League and Association clubs playing against each other need only be mentioned to see at once the natural result. Out of the eight clubs in the Association the Pittsburg management found that but com- paratively few had any drawing qualities at all while others disgusted the people with poor ball playing. As to the system of division of the gate money Mr. Phillips thought the guarantee system would be the one most like- ly to be adopted. „43 * If some one would come to the front at the resent Crisis and explain just what position ike Scanlan holdsin the League, he would be supplying a long felt want. When Presi- dent Hiewitt of Washington was here in the early part of the week I had a chat with him, and he told me that Scanlan was a bigger man than the majority of the peopie thought him tobe. This sounded strange, to say the least, coming from a man who presumably was, and, to all effects and urposes is Scanian’s boss. The red-headed’ manager was first said to have been ‘‘fired’’ from bis position in the Washington chub, and — he evidently is more of a ‘‘boss’’ thafi resident Hewitt. Here is a man who has been occupying the very ordinary position of au manager of an eighth-class club and who has severed his connection with that even. Yet we see him telegraphing around the country, 7.4 will — the Yellow Stockings for 510,000.“ *What will you sell me the Green Socks for?’’ „Will you come into the League without pay- ing a bonus?’’ ‘*The League will do this and that and the other,“ etc., ad nauseam. And in the face of this the man who is supposed to own the Washington Club, sits by mutely and indorses all Mr. Seanlan says. Verily Michael is a mystery. : _ A BIG TRIO, Manager Phillips on Hecker, Ramsey and Morris—Schomberg's Future. Manager Horace Phillips of Pittsburg thus delivers himself: There is not enough variety in Morris’ present delivery. In other days he had sev- eral curves and twists that were unknown to other pitchers, and he alternated them with such effect that he wasa perfect terror to the batsmen who faced him. But he has lost them all. He was the originator of the drop ball, which Ramsey of the Louisville Club finds so effective, but he can’t command even that ball at will now. In one of the games we played with the Baltimores during our last trip in the East, he got on to this drop again, and the Marylanders conld do nothing with it. The next duy his arm had forgotten its cunning. Morris is in first-class shape physical dut the great fault, in connection 1 with ‘the de- it you can, we'll ficiencies I have mentioned, is his irregularity. He alone is responsible for the loss of yester- day’s game. He pitched magnificently for the first half of the game, but weakenedin the last. What Morris wants to do is to practice his lost balls and strive to add new styles to his resent small stock, which is now painfully iliar to all ot the clubs in the Association. „Ramsey I rate at present as the best Southpaw twirlerinthe country. There is no discount on the ball tne Louisville club is laying just now, and much of their saccess is Jas to the effectiveness of Hecker. This old- time favorite seems to have taken a new lease of life. I am at a loss to account for his ef- fectiveness. I there is poth- the ‘ball he is In fact, it lacks all of his ormer tremendous farce and numerous artifices in delivery. One of the Athletics said to me 1 Hecker just stands in the box and throws in little curves and easy straight balls, as much as to say. ‘Hit them put you out anyway;’ but you can’t hit them, try as you will, and when one does wy ee to strike the ball, it is sure to be in the hands of some fielder.’’ Po you think you've secured a genuine prize in Schomberg?’’ : do. Just watch the batting list and you’ll see at the end of the season that Schom is very near the * He is a little young, of course, and this is hig first experience with profes- sional ball clubs, but he is doing remarkably. When a young player suddenly finds himself in front ofa big audience and playing witha lot of old stagers he is apt to feel timid. That timidity has about worn off Schomberg and he will be a great player next season. I watched him in the Northwestern League and kept my eye on him until I thought he was ripe and then I picked him.’’ am told a — THE RECORD. The Browns Lessen Their Average—New York Stock Declines. The only change in the standing of the clubs of the American Association to be recorded this week is the replacing of the Metropolitans at the tail end of the string by the Baltimores. These two clubs are making desperate efforts to stick tothe bottom, and their antics are quite amusing. The Browns have at last lost their standing lead of 10 per cent and are now but 8 per cent ahead of Louisville. The latter club, however, will find it impos- sible to catch up with the champions. The closest fight in the race is between Brook- lyn and Cincinnati, these two being very nearly tied for the fourth place. There is but a trifle in Brooklyn's favor, but yet suflicient to give it precedence. The position of the clubs inthe League is identieal with that which it has been for weeks. New York has dropped out of the 70 per cent., leaving Chicago and Detroit com- paratively ulone at the top of the column. = ® — : 3 2 2 F — — F F 33 F E88 SE Zi iel(eliatiaotRriag!: CLUBS.

A Sketch of the Great and Only Battery of the Indianapolis Club. ‘Who has not heard of the ‘fonly’’ Nolan, and who in St. Louis does not remember ‘‘Oild Silver’’ Flint in the days gone by? The latter is a home product, and as he has been more or less intimately associated with the former, the two may well be described together. Flint is with the League champions now, and the “only” Nolan is working on a ball t in rey & eine a pitcher, he haa hard work to get a job after he had worn himself out, and after he was paragraphed to death almost he floated around the country until late in the season he went home, where, likethe prodigal — OP was taken in, though not on A veal Francis Sylvester Flint is aSt. Louis bov did his first playing with the — date on arena 7 base ball, had steppe ompton Av Wed Stockings. p enue Park to play the ckie on of the home team was laid u with a broken finger, and Flint was sent in — » — catch the lightning under-hand throwi f Morgan. The game proved to be the greatest U by a ragged group. that had ever been played up to that time. | The score, when the game was finished, stood 1 to o in favor of the Chicagos. Long before | the Forest Citys of Cleveland had beaten the Chicagos at Fort 22 by a score of 2 to and these figures had never been eclipsed unt! the Whites and Reds met on the day indicated at the Compton Park. The work of Flint on ‘+ Silver’’ Flint. this occasion awakened the fraternity to the fact that he was a great catcher and the fol- lowing year he easily found an outside en- gagement at Indianapolis. He remained with Indianapolis until he engaged himself with the Internationai Association. It was at Indianapolis that Flint met Edward Nolan, who had gone there to do the pitching. Nolan hailed from Paterson, N. J., and was a novice in the professional oy He caught on quickly and pitched such great ball that the Indianapolis team immediately jumped into the lead and held on to the first place un- tilthe end. The great skill and work of the battery became such common talk that their names became household words, and the two were never mentioned except as the ‘‘only’’ Nolan and the only“ Flint. Fancy litho- graphs and photosiof the pair were scattered broadcast, and every shop window in the land was decorated with them. The owners of the Indianapolis Club coined money that year. They did so phenomenally well in fact, that they imagined they hada ‘7! ne Only’’ Nolan. regular bonanza in Flint and Nolan, and a team behind them that could beat the world. It was with this conviction firmly settled in their minds that they applied for admission into the League and the year 1878 saw them a full fledged member of that body. Their nine of that year inciuded George Shafer, John Clapp, Flint, Nolan, Warner, Williamson, Mekelvy, Quest, Healy, Craft, McCormick and Nelson. This same aggregation of talent that had done so well the year before as a non- League organizationg cut a sorry figure in the League race, and before the season was halt over its management went into bankruptcy. Pettit, the moving spirit of the company, brought the team to this city and tried to lo- cate them here. It was at this time that they were dubbed ‘‘The Homeless Browns,“ They — 2 several games here to empty benches and then went to Chicago where they did a trifle better. lt was in the latter city that Al. Spalding signed Flint, Shafer, Quest and Williamson forthe Chicago nine of 178 and Flint and Williamson have been with themever since that year. Since that time Flint has caught the —.— of Hankinson, Corcoran, Goldsmith, McCormick, Flynn and others and has perhaps done more hard work than any other catcher in the busi- ness. Whilethe three mentioned remained with the Chicagos, Nolanand Clapp went to Cincinnati and thence to Cleveland where Nolan became the change pitcher and Clapp the left fielder of that team. Later on they both drifted to Philadelphia, where their for- tunes have been varying. 2—ü—ü— oa A GREAT GAM Crowds of Spectators Witness the Greatest Ball Game of the Season. From the Chicago Graphic. Five hundred men stood at the corner of Van Buren street and Third avenue Sunday afternoon and forgot for an hour that they were men. At3o’clock the spot was as vacant and quiet asa convent green, when fourteen dirty and ragged youngsters drifted in from several points of the compass as if by a pre- arranged plan. One freckled faced lad gently caressed a huge base ball, shaped very much like a goose egg, while another toyed with the remains of what had once been a base ball bat. It wasacripple now, six inches of the handle having been amputated. Four of the little urchins wore little red caps with white stripes and enormous pasteboard ‘‘peaks.’’ “You fellers tinks yer big ’cause yer got unerforms,’’ remarked athin-lipped boyin a tone intensely sarcastic, addressing a dumpy little fellow who wore,in addition to a red cap, a worsted belt on which was inscribed the ' redoubtable word Capital.

The ball was recovered, a noisy argument ensued, and at last the perspiring Snowball returned to second base, with the understand- ing that over the fence was only good for two ases. The crowd numbered 300 men now. Great excitement prevailed. The clubs began play- ing again. Asallow youth with spider legs was struck out amid great applause. An- other got to first, stubbed his bare toe on a paving block running to second and was in- gloriously put out. At last the Young Ansons fot their innings.

The entire nine then came to him, and, after a lengthy argu- ment, convinced him that the first base needed him badly.

Charley Sweeney has returned to his home in California, says this week’s Sporting News. He left St. Louis last Monday forenoon. Not long before Sweeney was released from the St. Louis Club Mr. Lucas drew him aside and said: Charley, Ihave been a good friend of yours. I have been paying you a salary of $3,000 for seven months’ work or nearly $500 r month. Ipaid you this money to pitch. xperience has proven that you can’t pitch. Now lam perfectly willing to retain you on the nine as fielder, but Icannot afford to pay you at the rate of THREE THOUSAND A SEASON. Suppose we split the difference and for the balance of the year Iwill pay you a sal at the rate of $1,500 for the season. Youcan then play out in the fleld.’’ Sweeney, who believed he could make a lot of money in the East, refused this offer of Mr. Lucas and he was released from the St. Louis club. Subsequently he signed with Syracuse. His career while with that club is already pretty well known. There is no doubt in the world that Sweeney, in his best days, was the king pitcher. 0 broke down, however, while training for the inaugural season of the St. Louis League team, and bis arm has been of little if any use to him since. There have been cases where rest and quiet have mended a pitcher’s arm so he could pay as well as ever. Then again there have een other cases, notably those of P DERBY AND GOLDSMITH, where the use of the pitching arm was never recovered, It may be that Sweeney’s case is not so seri- ous as theirs, and that he will be able to re- sume his position in the League in a year or two. On the other hand, the injury to his arm may be of the permanent kind, and we may never see the once king pitcher in the arena again—at least not as a pitcher. plate. Caught in Their Own Trap. The Browns were caught in their own trap last Thursday. Their friends have been going the rounds lately bragging and boasting about their great coaching abilities, and while in the veryact arival team steps in, and on their own grounds the Browns are actually ae ‘ out of a game. Catcher Miller got into the cage at third base with the express purpose of drowning out all other noises with his voice, and he did itadmirably. He kept up an inces- sant stream of thick, husky and unintelligible — that fairly dwarted the feeble efforts of Atham, who was compelled to lapse into silence and look idly on. The result was the most humiliating shut-out the Browns have received the whole season. The ‘‘Allies’’ can now lay claim to having accomplished what has been impossible to all others—outcoached the St. Louis Browns. Yesterday’s Games. Another shut-out must go down onthe rec- ords of the Browns to the credit of the Pitts- burg Club. The latter made three runs, seven hits and no errors. The Browns made noruns, three hits and two errors. The pitchers were Morris and Foutz. The Maroons won the game from Kansas City yesterday, at Union Park. They scored ten runs to the two of the Kansas Citys. Healy pitched and only four hits were made off his delivery. Other Games. At Detroit—Detroit, 6; Chicago, 4.

Clip- per thus describes a recent game of base ball in that town: The Belfast boys were yacht rigged, white topsail, blue reefed pants and lower spars red and good sailors for small crafts. The Bucksports were heavier built, more logey, good coasters, carried all sail from deck to truck, except Capt. Casey, who was reefed down with light sails. The two Pendletons of the Belfast fieet, one pitcher and one _ catcher, looked as ifthey were builtin the same yard after the same model.The Bucksports anchored in the harpor and Pendleton shoved out a stud’n-sail boom and winked at Tillock to let the shell come. Tillock let fly. ‘One ball,’ sung out the Commodore just astern. A most unnecessary piece ot intormation we thought, as no one could seetwo. By and by the ball hit the boom, and P. sailed away for the first anchorage, but a fellow sailing in on the port tack grapnelled the ball and the Commodore hailed ‘Foulout.’ P. was docked and Ward sailed into his berth only to sail out without a Keating ricocheted the ball through the Amateur Base Ball.

Gaudaur and Beach—Ripples. »The Referee’’ has some very clear ideas on Hanlan’s record-breaking. He says: Now for my reasons against Hanlan’s al- leged new record. I would, in the first place, ask my readers whether it is at all likely that if Hanlan, once and for a long time the peer of any living sculler, was in such grand form and capable of beating all records by no less than 36 seconds, would content himself with giving exhibitions and rowing in the company of third nnd fourth rate scullers, when a whole pot full of money is to be won in the country where he defeated Trickett, Hawdon, Elliott and Laycock, to say nothing of the enormous chance he wouid have of regaining the title of champion of the world? Is there any room to doubt that Hanlan, always providing he was in the form attributed to him, would be eager and anxious to show people where they were wrong in supposing be was buta played- out sculler—one inferior to Beach, Gaudaur and Teemer—inferior to Beach because of the Australian’s couple of victories over him; in- ferior to Teemer because the latter defeated him, and inferentially inferior to Gaudaur be- ceuse of the latter’s crushing defeats of Teemer? I trow not. have the pleasure of knowing Hanlan in- timately, and know as a positive fact thata more egotistical and self- proud scuiler-never satin a ooat, and that he would move heaven and earth, if he could, to again be heralded as the premier sculler of the world. Now what is there to prevent his regaining this title it only he be good enough?—and would he not be good enough it he could beat the 19 min- utes 54 secouds by six seconds over half a minute? I doubt not fora moment that the 19 minutes Bu seconds, as registered on Han- lan’s watch, was correct as marked onthe watch, but the query here comes in, ‘Was the course correctly measured?’ It may have been of correct measurement some time ago, or even the day betore, for that matter, but was it so at time the race was rowed?’’ Gaudaur Has First Choice. The cable announces at last as a positive fact that the match for the championship of the world between J. G. Gaudaur, the champion of America,and Beach of the world, will be rowed on September 18 next. The stakes in English money anount to £1,000, or nearly $5,000 American money, about $2,500 a side. The talk to the effect that a match would be arranged between Beach and Wal- lace Ross, to take place at a date earlier than the race witb Gaudaur is nonsense. Beach is to row with Ross sure enough, but the race has already been fixed for September 25, and will not be rowed until that time. Apart from the English sweepstakes, occurring on August 30, Gaudaur will be the first American to have a chance at the world’s champion. The Sweepstakes, The conditions of the English sweepstakes are these: If the eight scullers pay up the en- tire amount of £200 each the stakes from that source will be £1,600, or about $8,000. Adding to this £500 additional, or $2,500, there will be nearly $10,500 to row for. The first prize will be $6,000; second prize, $2,000; third and fourth, $750 each, and $250 each to the four men beaten in the first round. In the first or any succeeding draw, the first name taken from the hat will be eetitled to ‘‘row over,. if the competitors represent an odd number, but only one bye“ will be allowed in drawing. The racing will be rowed on Monday, August 30, Tuesday, August3l, and Wednesday, Sep- tember i, as, in accordance with the original conditions, the men will notbe called upon to row twice in one day. The first heat will be rowed from two skiffs moored twenty yards apart at the West London railway bridge at Wandsworth, finishing at a flag-boat opposite Gwynne’s at Hammersmith. The second heat will be rowed from two skiffs moored twenty yards apart opposite Biffen’s at Hammersmith, finishing at a flagboat just be- low the Strand-on-the-Green railway bridge, near Kew. After high water on Monday, Au- gust 30, the third heat will be rowed down from the Strand-on-the-Green bridge to Biff- en’s, and the fourth heatfrom Hammersmith to Wandsworth. On the second day the Wandsworth to Hammersmith and Hammer- smith to Kew courses will again be rowed over in the second round, but the final heat will be rowed on the championship course. starting from Putney bridge at one hour before high water, and finishing oppo- site the Ship at Mortiake.

Ruddock has shipped Wallace Ross’ new sheilto England, and is now getting out a beauty for Jake Gaudaur, in which the latter is to row Beach for the world's championship on September 18. Ruddock is now at work on the shell in which it is expected that Gaudaur will win the championship trom Beach. She will be shipped long enough before the race for Gau- daur to get thoroughly used to her. for a race is significant. Ross English backers must have seen his rowing form since he ar- rived, and they have had ample opportunity to judge of the Australian's speed. If Ross has achance to defeat Beach, this surely pre- sages an easy Victory for the American cham- pion, Gaudaur. — = THE THREE-YEAR-OLD PUZZLE.
