Without, however, the al- most ludicrous candor of the president’s proclamation, the genesis ofthe coup d' etat is perfectiy clear. The Russian newspapers to-day try vainly to express mild surprise.

King Charles is personally presiding over a special meeting of the Cabinet hastily summoned,and Premier Bratano is returning from Govdra with all possible speed. THE RUSSIAN PRESS NOT SURPRISBD. ST. PETERSBURG, August 23-—The Russiar press was less surprised at the deposition of A CONVICT REVOLT. PARIS, August 23.—The transport Orne sailed from Toulon on Saturday for Martinique loaded with convicts. She returned yesterday and reported that the convicts had revolted and tried to gain possession of the ship. Two cannons loaded with grape had been fired at the mutineers and many of them had been killed. THE BOULANGER BIOGRAPHY. The author of the biography of Gen.

An important point, however, is one of which nothing is yet publicly known, whether the surprise on the Continent is real or feigned, and whether Russiais acting with or without the tacit consént of her partners in THE TRIPLE ALLIANCE. In Paris the latter is believed to be the case. The affair is welcomed there because Prince Alexander is a German and is favored by England. In Berlin and Vienna the belief says: Russia must now speak her weigity word if she does not wish to lose control of Bulgarian destinies. The Novosti says it is highly probable that Russia will intervene directly and establish a new oreer of things in Bulgaria, and adds: With Alexan- der deposed, Bulgarian sympathy with Russia will revive.’’ Most of the Russian papers ob- serve thatthe foreign press manifests a con- fusion of ideas respecting the relations be- tween the three Emperors. —— — — ALEXANDER’S ABDICATION, A TRADES’ UNION CONGRESS.

Early cables, too, were strong. Mark Lane and country markets slightly higher and a good demand noted. a private Liverpool reading, ‘‘wheat very strong on political complications.’’ Outside of these European political and market news, the tenor of advices, and the influences were inclined to be bearish, except the fact that the stock in store here had decreased about 18,000 bu since Saturday, owing tothe 100,000bu shipped by river. Our receipts were larger, and the spring wheat movement in the Northwest in- creased. The first effect of the war news was to advance the home market le, a strong and higher New York and Toledo and September on the Chicago curb up to 795c sharpening the demand to such an extent that prices went * stifiy and steadily. The Bulgarian boom, however, was posed off at an early hour in the day, both in this — and abroad. A verpool cable came in that stated wheat very inactive weather settled and favorably, hot and fore- ing, harvesting progressing favorable; oth- ers from London and Liverpool that ‘‘crisis in Bulgaria will have no effect, and the closing from Liverpool was easier. With this out of the way, the heavy increase in stocks in store this side began to get its work in. The million increase at New York, though export clearances for the week from that port were 1,078,000 ou, started the down turn and revised estimates on the visi- ble for a larger increase than had been ex pected commenced to arrive. And when the report came in it did show a large in- bu and New York 2,400,000 bu, but this latter was afterwards corrected to 1,800,000 bu increase. The market weakened on this, but not very much, closing “sc above Saturday. It was a see-saw market all the session, With operators badly mixed and not knowing just what side of the fence to fall on. Nothing was heard ofinthe exportline. Sep- tember sold at So ee to Some, closing at Oe; October at Fance to s2%c, closing at 82880; November at Stic to 8e, closing at ane; December at Ge to S65sc; Mav at 9¢%4c and later $4c asked. Higher prices were paid for spot grades, but there was no change in the de- mand. No. 2 red, One; No.3 red, 75. ge; asked; No. 3 do, 74c bid. Corn was stiffened in value by the European complications, but showed little life, and later eased off, closing 1 small fraction below Saturday. The increase in the visible supply was a depressing influence, but it was the let-down in wheat that had most effect. September sold at 39iec to 3a nc and later 30186 asked; October at 41 ala to 40. August offered at ge, bid 38tzc; November had 41%c bid. The marketfor spot grades was very dull and weak, with lower prices bid.

September solid at27%&c, and was offered at that later without a buyer; Muy declined from Bie to 33e; October was offered at 2slec and zue ˖ bid. Spot grades were lower, also, but in fair demand.

Flour was strong enough to warrant the trade in raising quotations, the changes in which will be found below. At the advance the market was steady but quiet, for though there was a good inguiry and a large number of orders were here, yet the business transacted was moderate.

Though it was a Monday with two days accumulations of orders, vet trade was really small and outside of this order demand there was absolutely nothing doing.

The novel provision of Nebraska’s Con- stitution adopted in 1875, authorizing the voters of the State to express their prefer- ence for United States Senator at the gen- eral election immediately preceding the expiration of a Senator’s term, is to be tested for the first time, and the result of Senator VAN Wyck’s appeal to the people for an indorsement will be awaited with The experiment is al- ready calling forth a good deal of com- ment, and some journals are criticising it asa dangerous innovation, an insidious attempt to evade and subvert the Consti- tution of the United States, which pro- States shall be composed of two Senators from each State, chosen by the Legisla- ture thereof, for six years.’’ preference authorized by the Constitution and laws of Nebraska does not supersede and was not intended to impair the au- thority conferred by the Federal Consti- tution upon the Legislature of that State.

THE SCHEME FOR KEEPING THE MAROONS MEETING WITH SUCCESS, Manager Gafiney Has a Word to Say About -- Umpiring — Dewdrop’s Form — Tandem Tricycle Record Established — Diamond Gossip—Commedore Henn’s Bold Chal- lenge. The indications this morning were that the scheme to organize a stock company in order to pay off the indebtedness of the Maroon Stocking Base Ball Club will be a success. Mr. Wm. Stromberg, who yesterday subscribed the sum of 82,500 for stock in the new seheme, to-day increased this to $5,000, half of which is taken for the firm of Stromberg & Hatch. Mr. Stromberg says he subscribes this amount not alone because he thinks the city would be badly off without League games, put because he feels assured that the investment is a good one and will in time ay. A meeting of the railroad men interested was held to-day with the representative of the Anheuser-Busch Brewing Association and Fred F. Espenschied present, and the railroad men agreed to buy an equal number of shares each. Mr. Espenschied will also buy some stock and there are quite a number of private citizens who have agreed to take more or less ofthe stock after the more wealthy citizens have started the thing along. Mr. Espenschied was seen this morning and he stated that be was now assured of the suc- cess of the movement and would take no step towards a disposition of the club or the franchise until the stock company scheme had proved a total failure, which, he thought, is quite unlikely. A meeting of the League Uns been called by President Young to be held on Wednesday at Onicago for the especial purpose ot considering the St. Louis Club complication, aud what wiil be done at that meeting it is impossible to say. One-fifth of the required amountto save the Maroons has ulready been guaranteed and the rospects that the remaining tour-fifths will be forthcoming are very favorable. MUST HAVE TWO CLUBS. Proposed Organization of a State League of Base Ball Clubs. Anew base ball scheme is on foot which, should the proposed consolidation become a fuct, will be of material interest to the cranks inthis city. The projectors of the new idea number one or two business men in- terested in the national game, and they argue after this fashion: The new association will be composed of say twelve clubs. Of course the Browns will be one of them, and the schedule will ne- cessitate quite lengthy absences from St. Louis. This will leave the city without base ball of any kind, excepting umateur games, for considerabie stretches of time during the season. It is to fill this vacancy that th resent scheme is suggested, and the plans submitted are to form a new League ot lesser lights, which wilt probably be made up of St. Louis, Omaha, St. Joe, Kansas City, Moberly and springtieid. The players will be drawn from the very excellent material among the amateur talent of this city and of the other towns mentioned. The schedule will be so arranged that each club will be at home often, and that games will be played in St. Louis regularly while Mr. Von der Abe is out of town with bis club. The League will be conducted on a popular basis. A 25 cent ticket will admit two persons to the unreserved seats, and the grand stand admission will be 35 cents. There will be two games on Sunday, one in the morning and one in the evening, and beer will be sold atthe very comfortable price of 5 cents per schoon- er. Itis caiculated that these combined con- veniences wili draw out a large crowd every Sunday, and that the owners of the club will grow rich in one year. While the scheme is atrifle vapory as yet, the idea is not a bad one, and it is evident that some such organization would become a matter of necessity should one of the clubs at presentin St. Louis be disbanded or absorbed by other clubs. There couid clearly be no competition in it for Mr. Von der Ahe. as that gentleman would be away whenever the League would beintown. It would alsoserve as an excellent school to graduate players for the older organization. — $i A CHAT WITH GAFFNEX. The Famous Target“ Glad that He is Um- pire No Longer. Manager Gaffney of Washington, the succes- sor of Mike Scanlan,and the man who attained great fame as one of the most successful base ball umpires the country has produced, ar- rived in the city this morning from Washing- ton. Gaffney, of course, came to the city for two purposes; first, as manager of the Nationals, who arrive this evening, and sec- ondly, to take care of Washington’s inter- est in the Maroon matter. To areporter of the Post-DISPATCH who spoke with him this morning he said Washington would certainly remain inthe League forthe balance of the present season at least, but that he did not care to say anything about next season. Neither did he care to ventilate his ideas on the 1 consolidation scheme. When asked how the change from wnupire to manager agreed with him he said: I find it much more pleasant to be a man- auger than an umpire. I was a ‘target’ for three ne ears and although I got along quite wel never had a great fancy for the work.’’ To what do you attribute your success?“ To the fact thatl always made it a rule to umpire the game myself and notto allow the captain and the players to do it. Lalways got ulong with Anson because when he first be ganto umpire games while I was around I made him understand that it was umpiring games thatI was around for. I’ve aiways tried to be honest in my decisions and Ido not believe I ever made one thatl was not convinced was right. An umpire will make errorg sometimes but he should always cor- rect them when he discovers that he was it , Who is to be your successor?’’ ‘‘hither Skinner of Baltimore, or Carlin of Philadelphia. Carlin used to be an umpire in the American Association but he resigned, I believe, because John Kelly was receiving more pay than he was. W hile Gaffney’s friends will be glad that he has secured a good position they will mourn the loss of su impartial, honest and skillful au umpire as he has been. Home Games, The Browns were defeated again by the Pittsburgs. The cause of their defeat was careless playing. The Browns made 10 hits and 13 bases, 4 runs and 5 errors.

Three games of ball have been layed at S — Park lately. The Pittsburg Club played them. | The Browns play three games at Cincinnati beginning to-day and then return to en- counter the Louisvilles. „The Browns are in Cincinnati to-day,’’ said one crank to another to-day on the street. ‘‘Arethey?’’ Les. Stay there!’’ And the gong donged. Smith, the excellent second basemen of the Pittsburg Club, is not with the team on its Western trip, having a child dangerously ill at his home. Barkley will cover second in his absence. When a pitcher like Kirby can hold batsmen like Richardson, Brouthers, Thompson and Rowe down to no hits in an eleven-inning game, it is pretty good proof that there is something in him. Inno game this year had the Detroits made so few hits.—[Boston Globe. An American Association base ball player was in Belfast on Wednesday, and when the riot broke outand he saw clubs flourishing and heard pistols popping he began to grow home- sick. When the excitement subsided he asked a stranger ifthe umpire had escaped.—([Nor- ristown Herald. The total attendance at the South End grounds this season has been 107, 986, an aver. age of 2,633, and the visiting clubs have proved attractions in this order: etroit, 26,005; New York, 20,396; St. Louis, 16,623; Chicago, 15,195; Philadelphia, 18,822; Kansas City,10,161; Wash- ington, ,674.—[Boston Globe. Hecker thinks that Richmond, the latest Cin- cinnati pitcher, will prove a failure. His old- time effectiveness is explained when the fact is known that he was almost the first left-hand curve pitcher. Batsmen would now pound him all over the field. Richmond has but one ball, the plain underhand throw and simple curye. Can such things be, and overcome us like a sutmamer's cloud without our special won- der?“ It looks a trifle that way at the present writing, as the sensational journals of the day would remark.—[Pittsburg Dispatch. The ‘‘overcoming’’ part of this remark is perfectly correct, but whea it comes to being without ‘‘special wonder’’ we draw the line. The tail end club of the Association, the Baitimores, outranks the Washingtons, who stand last in the League race, with a percent- uve of 181. This shows how much better the Association ciubs are playing than the League teams. The Baltimores have won thirty-two games and lost fifty-eight, while the Washing tons have won only thirteen games and lost sixty-six. -_ oS —-_——- DEWDROP’S FORM. A Few Reasons Why the Great Filly is Not What she Was. Wilkes’ Spirit this week has an interesting analysis of Dewdrop’s work. It is evident, it says, that Dewdrop is not quite the filly she was. How could she be? She has undergone the most severe campaign of any of the great fillies of the decade. Both in this country and in England it isthe custom to reserve 3-year- old fillies for the filly stakes, not to run them in the colt stakes until September. This was the course pursued with Thora, with Sultana (with one exception), with Olitipa, Duchess and Glidelia. Contrast, too, the difference in the treatment of Miss Woodford by the Dwyers to that they have given Dewdrop. Miss Woodford ran only in filly stakes up to Sep- tember, except inthe race at Monmouth, in which she was put in to make pace for George Kinney. But Dewdrop has fought her battles in the coit stakes from the outset, and she has peen compelled to concede weight to the colts, an almost unprecedented circumstance in the history of 38-year-old racing. In the Spin- drift she conceded The Bard 6 pounds; in the Stockton, 7 pounds to Linden; in the Stevens 5 pounds to all save Linden and 12 pounds to him;inthe Palisade, 22 pounds to each of the colts; in the Eatentown, 21 pounds to Gardey, 19 pounds to Elgin, 14 pounds to Bonanza, etc. ; in the West End, 7 pounds to Preciosa; in the Omnibus, 7 pounds to all ex- cept Ben Ali. If the Racing Calendars of Eu- gland or America, France or Australia show a parallel to this, we will confess to having read them carelessly. Such a gruelling cam- paign would destroy the speed of the toughest race-horse the world has ever-produced. But Dewdrop is hardly a tough one. She is rather a delicate mare, a ‘‘washy’’ mare. Her superiorit consists in her enormous spee when regulated by the remarkable beauty and precision of her stride, which is a beautiful, easy bound, the erfection of ease, itis so perfectly friction- ess. She is perfectly tractable and easily placed, but her forte is loping along under a pull. leaving her finish to the last 400 yards, when she can bowl over anything, much on the plan of Parole or Girofle. She will run on her courage, but when whip orspur is resorted to and her action is disturbed she is all at sea, and flounders like a ship without a rudder. EXCITING SPORT. Charles E. Bishop Proposes to Outdo Bro- die’s Big Jump. By Telegraph to the PosT-DISPATCH. Boston, August 23.—Charles E. Bishop, the young man from Maine who proposes to make a higher jump than Brodie off the Brooklyn Bridge, returned to Buston from New York last evening. Hesaid: ‘‘I have completed all arrangements for making my big drop from above the Brooklyn Bridge into the East River. It has been arranged that I am to re- ceive $1,000 for making the drop, whether any wager is made that I can do it or not, so I am all right on that score. As fur as I am con- cerned I. would be ready to drop into the water to-morrow, but it willtake at least two weeks to complete the preparations. I am going to drop from a balloon.

It says that Jacob Gaudaur of St. Louis, champion sculler ot America, and Albert Hamm of Halifax, his partner and trainer, arrived here yesterday morning from Boston.

He and Courtney in Good Condition for Their Race. By Telegraph to the Posr-Dis raren. NEW TORK, August 23.—Hanlan‘and Courtney are at Rockaway Beach. Hanlan reached there yesterday and took up his headquarters at the Seaside Hotel. His practice boat is also there, and he will begin practicing to-day. Hanlan said: I weigh 170 pounds, but will reduce that five pounds by exercise before the race with Courtney next Saturday. I know the bay, as I rowed on it last year, and I like it very well, but before Il row I must see that the distance is the full three miles.’’ The sore finger of Hanlan’s right hand is troubling him lately. and itis now poulticed and bandaged. Yesterday he called on Dr. King, who lanced the finger. There is inflam- mation atthe root of the nail, but it is ex- pected it will be all right before the race. Oourtney is in first-class condition, and is at Murray & Valentine's Hotel. He weighs 173 pounds and does not care to reduce his weight. He says he is in good condition and promises to do his dest to win the $2,500 stakes. _— —_— THE TANDEM TRICYCLE RECORD. Corey and Huntley Make 211 5-8 Miles in Twenty-Four Hours. A dispatch from Boston says that Harry Corey ofthe Massachusetts Bicycle Club and W. A. Huntley of the Nonantum Bicycle Club have established a twenty-four-hour tandem tri- cycle record. The tandem used was a Rudge Humber, weighing 1,000 pounds, fitted with 24-inch driving wheels and geared to 55 inches. The course traveled by the tandemites ex- tended through Brighton, Newtonville, New- town Center, Necdbam and Chestnut Hill. The riders took what they considered a fair pace and one that under favorable circumstances could be keptup. A strong wind was blowing from the east, which bothered them nota little when facing it, but otherwise it was in their favor. The nights were very chilly and in going through some of the small valleysthe party would run into a dense bank of fog, reappearing almost wet through. Corey was onthefront of the tan- dem getting the full force of the damp- ness and cold wind, so that notwithstanding the high rate of speed at which they were go, ing his muscles began to feel numb. Every effort was made to get Corey's muscles in shape, but without avail. It wus acurious thing that he felt splendidly in every other way, = he had little or no control whatever over his lower limbs. While — through Needham and while getting out of the way of a team the tandem ran into a fence, damaging the machine. The riders kept on, however, having no other machine handy, and on reaching Brighton they sent tor another, which caused a delay of over an hour. The long wait caused Corey’s muscles to stiffen up considerably, but by a little vig- orous rubbing he felt much better. When they dismounted in front of the club-rooms, Boston, they had made exactly 211% miles. This establishes the tandem tricycle record for this country. They are satisfied that they can beat that record and will make another at- tempt later on in the season. — d IE GALATEA’S OWNER. He Issues a Bold Challenge to the Yachtmen of New York. New York, August 23.—Lieut. Henn has thrown down the gage of battle to the four big sloops. He invited them to meet the Galatea in an open race from Sandy Hook to Bermuda and back foracup. It is true that he challenges any single-masted American yacht, but it is cleur that he is aim- ing at the four large ones: Mr. Henn thinks that such a match would be likely to test the seagoing qualities of the vessels participating, and, in his opinion, he will find many backers. Arace to Bermuda and back in the fall 1s anything but a picnic, especially if the boats encounter one of the old fashioned gales which havea knack of hanging around the island and bursting into suddenfury. A member of the New York Yacht Club says he did notthink the club would seriously con- sider the challenge, not only because long- distance races had gone out ofiashion, but be- cause the time mentioned for it is too late in the year. The Bermudas are over 800 miles south from Sandy Hook. Itis not much use guessing how long it would take two yachts to get there and back. They would be likely to reach the Gulf Stream justin time to meet all the southerly gales, and a hurricane or two erhaps. The Priscilla is the safest racer we have oreuch a journey although there is no doubt but that any of the fast yachts could make the voyage. A Story About Mace. Jack Dayis, who was defeated by Jem Smith in England some time since, telle the follow- ing story of the battle to Jimmy Kelly, the pugilist. He says: ‘'I never had a softer thing in my life. All I had to do was to let go with my left, and split him every time he came in. I hardly used my right on him at all, and was saving it to finish him. 1 was winning in a canter, when Mace wiped my mouth and nose at the end of a round with a towel that had something on it that made me drowsy. Then he gave me something to drink out of a bottle, and all the rest was like a dream to me until I came to and found 1waslicked Mace didn’t have a pound to his name before that fight. A night or two after he was up around Leicester square opening wine.’’ As Mace is Davie’ uncle, this conduct, if true, was most despicabie. TAX-PAYERS ATTENTION!

The Court Asked to Appoint a Receiver of Former Partnership Funds. D. P. Dyer presented in chambers to Judge Dillon to-day a petition for the appointment of a receiver filed by Ed B. Hull and C. C. Brown against A. B. Hunt. Messrs. Hull, Brown and Hunt were in partnership until the Ist of last March when they dissolved partnership by mutual consent. At that time the books showed accounts ,etc. ,due the firin aggregating $13,000. The firm was solvent and each partner was entitled to one-third of the assets. Messrs. Hull and Brown allege, however, that Mr. Hunt has since become insolvent and that he has collected accounts due the firm in the aggre- gate sum of $2,676.22, for which he has failed to accounttothem. With the view of protect- ing the balance of the assets they ask the Court to appoint a receiver and to issue an or- der restraining their former partner from llections.

Levi Storthz Falls an Easy Prey to the „Con“ Men—Another Victim Nearly Se- cured—Arrest of Two Swindlers — How the Scheme Was HandledNo Case Made Against One of the Arrested Men, **Cuckoo’’ Quinn and ‘‘Doc’’ Kern are locked up at the Four Courts on complaint of Levi Storthz, a jewelry dealer on Ninth street, near Franklin avenue. About the 5th ult. Storthz, who has figured in the Criminal Court, was approached ba man who represented that he had an interest in a Colorado mine ana wished to quietly dispose of some of the pro- duct without letting the other stockholders know anything about the yield. To this Storthz readily agreed. He was ta- ken across the river where a Mexican friend was guarding a forty-pound brick, which was tuken from the mine. Storthz bored the brick several times and tested it. The result was satisfactory, and terms were agreed on. The owners claimetl it was worth $9,000, burStorthz arranged to take it for $3,500. When it was brought to his place to complete the sale he again tested it and was satisfied. It was agreed that they should bring the brick back on the following day and receive the money. Storthz suggested that in the meantime the brick could be left in his safe. The Mexican shook his head, and his friends seconded the objec. tions. On the following day they brought back a brick and received the money. Storthz says that when he examined the brick on that day he found that it had marks of the same borings and he concluded that it was the same brick. It was ag away for atew days until he required gold. He took out the brick, and when he attempted to saw a piece off he discovered that it was brass. A similar trick“ had been ‘‘turned’’ in Nashville a few months ago when ‘‘Cuckoo’’ Quinn was wanted forthetrick. It was ascertained that he was in the city, and he was accordingly ar- rested, He has been positively identified. Doc Kern was also arrested as one of the trio. It was reported to the police that an attempt had been made to sell a gold brick to a man named ‘‘Uncle Bob’’ of Fayette, Mo. It was not successiul, excepting that it was through their work on the intended victim that the po- lice secured the right parties. FULLER PARTICULARS. Storthz to-day gave fuller particulars of the game. He said two men entered his store on July 5,both dressed in Western style.One could speak very little English and the other none at all, they being Mexicans. They plaved their parts remarkably well and threw hiw off his guard. They showed him a brick which he drilled in nine or ten different places and found by test that the drillings were all pure gold. They wanted $3,700 fur the rick, say- ing that they were willing to sacrifice a few hundred dollars rather than to sell it at the United States Assay Oflice and have to wait for their money. Besides, they were afraid if they sold it to the assay office their mine would be discovered and seized, and they did not want this to occur. Storthz only bad $3,500 and went out to borrow the remaining $200. He thinks that while gone they changed bricks on him, taking the gold brick and giving him a brass one. The chances are, however, that while looking at the drillings he had taken from the brick and piaced in a piece of paper they changed papers on him, taking his drill- ings and giving bim some gold drillings in their stead, the exchange being very easily made by a little sleight-of-hand work. The brick had a good color and has the holes in the exact places where he drilled, so that -the bricks could not very well bave been changed. And then it is improbable, too, that they could afford to carry abouta gold brick, or if they could thatthey would take any chances of losing it. This morning Storthz swore to in- formation fora. warrant against John Quinn alias ‘‘Cuckoo,’’ charging him with fraud. THE CASE AGAINST KERNS. As Uncle Bob,“ the Fayette man, whom Lindsey G. Kerns, mias Doc, the other man arrested, was accused of trying to work, refuses to prefer * charge against Kerns, the police placed a charge of vagrancy against him, and this morning Kerns was up before Judge Cady. He was represented by J. J. Me- Bride, who had the case continued until Wednesday. He is out on $500 bond, John H. Vette beiug his surety. It is supposed thata jeweler named Yaeger, who kept on Market street just east of Fourth street, was also victimized by the gang. as he left the city mysteriously about the same time that Storthz wastaken in. The supposition is that he did not have sufficient ney to yurchase the brick and borrowed from iis triends and his fellow-jewelers. He is known to have borrowed diamond studs, etc. from other jewelers, representing that he had u customer for them, and left without ever paying ior them. The amount obtained by himin this way is said to amount to over $1,000, and he js supposed to have left to avoid being criminally prosecuted.

SPRAGUK & SONS, Props. A SERIOUS COMPLAINT. Petition of a Client Against an Attorney Presented in Chambers. J. C. McGinnis presented to Judge Dillon in chambers this morning the petition of Thos. J. Mahon for an order on Robert W. Goode, attorney, to pay over certain moneys collected by him as attorney for the petitioner. The document set forth that in 1884 the petitioner, reposing special confidence and trust in Robert W. Goode, en- gaged him as his attorney for the enforce- ment, by suit or otherwise, in court ofa claim of the petitioner against the Phoenix Insurance Company of Hartford, Conn.,under a policy of insurance. Goode entered into said sang b ment and service, and it was agreed that he should receive for his services the half of what- ance ¢ompany. Suit was instituted, and it was prosecuted to * udg- ment in favor of the petitioner for $1,265 June 7, 1884. After the rendition of the judgment the petitioner went back home to Chamois, Osage County, relying upon his attorney to advise him ot any action looking to settlement. Instead of doing so, the peti- tioner alleges that Mr. Goode KEPT HIM IN IGNORANCE and the petitioner knew nothing of what had been done until December 12, 1885, when he heard through other sources that the insurance company and his attorney, Goode, during the pendency of the suit, had settled the claim and the money was paid to Goode. Upon investigation the petitioner discovered that such settlement had been made and it was so admitted by Goode who promised to come to Chamois and settle about the 28th day of December, 1885. He failed to make any settlement however, but continued to promise to do so and on the Ist of July last Goode gave a statement admitting that he had re- ceived of the insurance company $525 on ac- count and after deducting $71.55 for costs ten- dered the etitioner his promissory note for $226.78, due in ninety days, in settlement. The petitioner declined to accept such settlement and returned Goode’s note demanding payment in cash. The petitioner alleges that Mr. Goode has frequently promised to pay in cash but he has neglected to do so and yet WITHHOLDS THE MONEY. The petitioner further alleges that he is informed and believes that in addition to the sum of $525 admitted by Goode to have been received by him be has re- ceived of said insurance company in vettle- ment of said demand the further sum of . which he has failed to account for or admit, 2 l prays by reason of the . — and by virtue and authority of the Court in such matters preserving its dignity and honor and the dignity and honor of its attorneys and officers that the Court will, on proper hearing herein, make an order on Robert W. Goode to pay the sum due. A HEARING TO-MORROW. Judge Dillon heard the petition, but took no action upon it as the Court will be regularly in session to-morrow. Mr. Goode was notified of the application, but he did not put in an appearance. Alten Atoms. Miss Alice Belk of Bethalto is visiting here.

A ATTEMPT TO CAPTURE THE GBUND PRIMARIES. 4 Warm Contest Expected in a Number of Wards—The Vice-President of the Re- publican State Committee a Candidate on a Grund Ticket—The State Convention te Settle the Dispute Between the Rival Committees—The Congressional Conven- tions—Maj. McGinniss Hesitates—Gos- sip. The faction of the local Republicans whose destinies are presided over by the Grund City Central Committee held primary elections this afternoon between the hours of 4 and 8 o’clock, in the various wards, for the election of delegates to the Republican State Convention to be held at Sedalia, September 1, and the members of a new cen- tral committee. The number of delegates elected in each ward is as follows: First ward, 3: Second, 2; Tuird, 3; Fourth, 3; Fifth, 4, Sixth, 2; Seventh, 2; Eighth, 1; Ninth, 3; yenth, 5; Eleventh, 2; Twelfth, 4; Thirteenth, 3; Fourteenth, 6; Fifteenth, 3; sixteenth, 3; Seventeenth, 3; Eighteenth, 5; Nineteenth, 2; Twentieth, 3; Twenty-first, 1; Twenty-second, 1; Twenty-third, 1; T enty- fourth, 2; Twenty-fifth, 1; Twenty-sixth, 1; Twenty-seventh, 1, and Twenty-eighth, 3. The only excitement attending the primaries was the report that the Filley crowd had candidates out in several wards where Filley was thought to — yarticularly strong. This was vigorously denied by the Filles men, who affect a supreme contempt for any action taken by the Grundites, or foranything pertaining to the Grund faction. They refuse to recognize to- day’s primaries as binding, and will contest the admission of the delegates selected at them in the Sedalia convention. The friends of Filley also deny that 8 are desirous of slipping in a Filley man inthe Grund City Central Committee. Despite the repeated denials of Secretary Ford Smith, Chairman J. H. Pohiman and others, prominent in the Filley wing of the Republican party, a well-informed local poli- tician who is cognizant of the inside workings of the Republican political machine, this morning intormed a Post-DIs- paTCH reporter that the Filley crowd would make strenuous efforts to capture the Grund primaries this aiternoon. For some time ast, he said, Meetings have been held almost nightly at the Chestnut street res, idence of the old man’’ and the wires laid for to-day’s struggle. The object of Pohiman,Smith et al. is to elect, if possible, a majority of the members of the new Republi- can City Central Committee or, at least, to get in a sufficient number of good and true Filley adherents to divide the Grund committee against itself, thereby creating dissensions wllich are expected to re- sult in the final dissolution of the Grund Com- mittee and the Grund faction. That such a scheme should be fathered by such good Re- publicans as Pohiman, Smith and their august master is denied by them and the idea is treat- ed as preposterous—all for the benefit of the public. But it is understood, nevertheless, that their pian of action is as outlined above. Recognizing that their strength is unevenly distributed over the city, it has been wisely couciuded to enter the contest only inthe Wards in whic! the Filley crowd has a fighting chance. These wards are as foliows: First, Tenth, Twentieth, Fourth, Fifth, Seventeenth, Twelfth, Fourteenth and Twenty-third. In the Eighteenth Ward the Grund candidates are D. P. Grier, R. C. Kerens, P. C. Bulkley, W. V. Woleott and Ashley C. Clover. John McFall is the candidate for Central Committee man. This ticket is a trifle too strong for the Filley crowd, und it is understood that no at- tempt will be made to defeat it. The presence of Gen. D. P. Grierupona Grund ticket argues -badly for Filley’s chances in the State Convention. Grier is Vice-President ofthe State Central Committee and as such very likely reflects the opinions of a majority of the members of the important body. Yet he is not in the field as it candidate for delegate as committeeman and it does not necessarily follow that any speciai signiticarce attaches to his appearance in the Grund ranks. The old adage about the lonesome straw which indicates the direction from which the wind blows may, however, be very aptly applied in this instance. The returns of to-day’s primaries will be made to Secretary Watson at Central Turner Hailthis evening, when they will be can- vassed. Atthe same place the newly-elected City Centrai Committee will meet to-morrow afternoon forthe purpose of organizing and petting ready for the coming campaign. The Filley Committee have calied their pri- maries for to-morrow aiternovn, between the hours of 4 ands o’clock. The newly elected Filiey Committee will meet at Secretary Ford Smith’s office at 2 o’clock Wednesday after- noon. The claims of the delegatſons representing the rival committees will be laid be- jore the State Convention for arbi- tration. One of the committees will surely receive a black eye, while the other will, henceforth, boast tue indorsement of the Republican party of the State or Missouri in convention assembled. It is reported that should the State convention sit down onthe Grund Delegation, the Grund Committee will withdraw from the fieid of action and leave Filley master of the situation. THE CONGRESSIONAL CONVENTIONS. There appears to be a general understanding among Democratic politicians that the Con- gressional Conventions should be held in advance of the City Convention. This arrange- Ment springs irom a desire to clear the field for action for the city fight and to prevent candidates for city offices trading on the con- gressional nominations. » The Congressional Committee ofthe Tenth (Clardy’s) District have fixed upon Septem ber 15 as the date of their convention. Inthe Ninth (O’Niell’s) District Chairman Von der Abe will call the Congressional Committee together some evening of this week to decide upon the time of hoiding the convention. There appears to be a general disposition among the ward politicians of the district to nominate John O'Neill before the expiration of the next three weeks. Chairman Pat McGrath of the Ninth Glover’s) District Committee, is at present out of the city on a bridal tour. When he re- turns the committee will be called together aid the date of the convention set. NOT CERTAIN. Maj. J. C. McGinniss, who has been men- tioned as a candidate for the Republican nom- ination for Juage of the Court of Criminal Cor- rection, stated to a PoOST-DISPATCH reporter this morning that it was notat all unlikely that le would elect to return to his old seat in the State senate. ‘‘Then you have not made up your mind to run for Judge Noonan’s place?’’ ‘Well, [have not finally decided. A great deal depends upon certain contingencies which will determine my action within the next few days.’’ ON RECORD. Secretary John G. Shelton of the Merchants and Manuiacturers Association this morning received favorable replies to the association’s antirailroad circular from thefollowing candi- dates for the State Legisiature: Wm. Wil- liamson of Davies county, J. I. Ellis of Bollin- ger county, Jno. Staley of Madigon county, V. E. Shelton of St. Clair county and Logan Allen of Moniteau county.

BLAIR’S 1 To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch: In your Saturday issue you givé what you terin the exact way in which Hon. Theo, Brace secured the nomination in the recent conven- tion. Permit me to say that I am fairly cognizant of the inside workings of that convention, and 1 desire to relate my personal knowledge as to why Judge Martin was defeated. After the third ballot it became evident taat Judge Henry could not be nominated, Upon this several of Judge Martin’s friends, among others myself, were told by members of the Jackson County delegation that most, if not all, of its delegates would go to Martin, if Martin could get the St. Louis vote. We hastily scattered through the hall, picking up delegations here and there, and soon had the promise of the solid Southeast and of counties elsewhere amp! sufficient to nominate Martin. It was then that Jno. C. Gage, Alex. Graves. J. J. Russell, George W. Warden, Marsh Arnold and several others ap- proached the St. Louis delegation. We repre- sented to its leaders that Henry was out of the race; showed them that if St. Louis would only come to Martin, Martin would be the nominee; represented that Martin was a St. St. Louis man and surely ought to have hisown city’s vote in such a@ crisis, and insisted that Brace would be the nominee unless St. Louis would yield. We further ex- pape vg thatit was impossible to throw the lartin vote to Henry, by reason of the fact that nearly allofthe former’s vote was for Brace, second choice. Wewere answered by the somewhat startling proposition that we should first get back Martin’s lost country strength, and then we might talk to St. Louis. This was understood by us, as it was intended, merely as sarcasm. Finally we were emphatically informed that if it came to Brace or Martin, the Henry leaders in the St. Louis delegation preferred Brace. Wethen said! Brace let it be, never Henry, and Brace it was. The Martin men never got lost for a single instant, but carried out a well arranged pian; and had it not been that Henry leaders of the St. Louis delegation preferred a stranger to one who has practised here for twenty-eight vears with a spotless reputation, Alex artin would have filled the vacancy to be i 0oc- cupied by Theo. Brace. The Brace men un- derstood this and were correspondingly un- easy. Few members of the convention there were who did not understand the situation ex- actly as shown here. In all the above John O Day bad no part, so far aslknow. There is this consolation, among others, that Mar- tin, a St. Louis man went into that conven- tion with 224 staunch country votes, consider- ably more than Henry ever got. The point is obvious. Respectfully, FRANK P. BLAIR. GOSSIP. Hon. John M. Glover has telegraphed his in- tention to leave Washington this evening. Senator F. M. Cockrell will pass through the city on his way home this evening. Arrangements are progressing for the or- ganization of a Democratic club in the Eighth ward, with headquarters at Broadway and An- gelica streets. Col. A. 8. Rowe of the Mis- sissippi Glass Works is being pushed for the presidency. The Twentieth Ward Democratic Club has just been organized. Headquarters at St.Louis and Elliot avenues. Mr. P. E.

Another miraculous cure man has turned up. This morning Mrs. Rita Romero, a Spanish woman, swore to information fora warrant charging Burt Glenning with fraud. According to the woman she has a little crippled child, and on last New Year’s day Glenning called on her and inquired why she did not have the child cured. She said there was no cure for her, and he then revealed to her that he was possessed of miracuious power and could cure all sorts of ailments by laying on of hands. Hecured by sympathy. In this par- ticular case, however, some instruments would be required, and if she would give him $4.50 he would purchase the necessary instru- ments. She gave him the money and he left to get the instruments, promising to return in a short while and effect thecure. He neg- lected to return, and after waiting seven months and twenty-one days Mrs. Romero finally grew impatient and had Glenning ar- rested yesterday. FOUGHT LIKE DEBOsE. A Bloody Battle Getween Rival Cowboys at Mud Creek. LITTLE ROCK, Ark., August 23.—Advices from the Chickasaw Nation say that on Satur- day Mud Creek was the scene of a desperate fight between a party of cowboys who were driving cattle off the Nation nnder the proc- lamation recently issued by the Chickasaw Nation. The men had been quarreling: for some time and had halted at the spring. As Ben Tabor was bending down to drink he was shot in the neck by Franklin Sales, who started to run away, wen he was in turn shot by aman named Adams. The firing then be- came general, the combatants dodging behind trees and bushes and reloading. The fight ended in one gang of the cowboys driving the other from the field. Tabor and Sales were alive at last accounts, but are not expected to recover. PAN ELECTRIC TROUBLES. Another Attempt to Be Made to Push the Company’s Business. The local Pan Telephone Company has for want of money been suffering severely in the endeavor to establish the telephone in St. Louis. Last May the failure to succeed was attributed to bad management, and numerous changes were made in the officers of the com- pany. The business has not prospered wonderousiy since, but it is un- derstood that a number of moneyed men who are already in the company with some who are not, are willing to put up enough money to give the company a good working capital. The officers deny that there is any truthin the rumor, and say they are wetting along handsomely. M. Scruggs is understood to be at the head of the new movement, but he is Ul at home and cannot be seen. > Second District Court Cases. There were eighty cases on the docket of the Second District Police Court this morning. The heaviest fine, $100, was assessed against Davis Wilson, for making an indecent ex- posure and indecent proposal to a little irl who was passing through Carr ark yesterday afternoon. George Brown fol- lowed on a similar case and was fined $25. There were six young fellows who were glad to get off as easily as paying costs for the fun of canning ecr on the ublic streets. A street beggar, Eliza ryn was assessed $15. There were eighteen ordinary cases of disturbing the peace. Six cases paid $ each for being drunk on the street, nearly all of them old timers. Mary Hogan, a wandering lounger who will never work except when she is behind the bars at the Work-house, was sent down again to- day on a Fo fine. John Mason, arrested yesterday for climbing on a movin train on 0 ws t. L. & 7. Railroad. was fined 510. when searched at the Third Police District Station an unusually heavy and dangerous looking slung shot was found on him. For this offense he was assessed an extra $10. Mislaid Receipts. Kehior Bros., millers, are disturbed over the loss of a number of elevator receipts, and this morning the papers contained advertisements of the loss. The receipts were missed Satur- day, when the vaulting See wished to turn over receipts to the East St. Louis Elevator, which is owned by Kehlor Bros., to cover deliveries of grain already made. It was then discovered that the re- ceipts had either been mislaid or stolen. They have little value to anyone but the righttul owners, as no deliveries will now be made upon them.

Mysterious Disappearance of a Young Man Leaving a Big Roll.“ CHICAGO, August 23.—Sherwood B. Robert- son, a young man who came to this city from Sheffield, Pa., on August II, has been missing since the 18th. He arrived at the Union Depot and was taken in an omnibus tothe St. James Hotel. For two days he was noticed around the hotel and then he disappeared, leaving his | satchel and unpaid bill. He had promised his family in Sheffield to write to them, and failing to do so an investigation was set on foot. Robertson had been in the grocery business at Sheftield and recently sold out, realizing 813, 000. Of this sum he had 83.000 on his person, his intention being to locate in thiscity. Two men, whosaid that they were horse traders, registered together with Robertson as coming from Millersvilleand Strassburg, Pa. They left the day after Robertson’s disappearance and have not been seen since. Detectives are at work on the case. THE DUDE “CON” MEN. Gibson and Perkins to be Brought to This e City.

Mr. Mechim immediately called at the Four Courts and sworeto information fora warrant for fraud against W. W. Gibson, the member of the combination who got in his work on him. Twenty-five dollars is the amount Mechim charges the ‘‘con’’ man with beating him out of. On this warrant Gibson will be brought back to this city, and some of Perkins’ victims wiil be brought upto secure warrants against him, so that he can aiso be brought back here.

Property Damaged to the Amount of Mill- ions—Thirty-Eight Lives Lost, ForT WORTH, Tex., August 23.—From In- dianola comes the saddest story yet reported about the storm. During the height ofthe storm the Signal Office was blown down, car- rying with it Capt. I. A. Reed, signal officer, and Dr. H. Rosencrans, both of whom were lost. Fire broke out among the ruins which extended for blocks on both sides of the street, destroying thirteen houses, among which were D. 8. Regan's large dry goods store and Dr. Lewis’ extensive drug establishment. Dr. Lewis wasin this building atthe time it took fire. He escaped being burned to death, but was subsequently drowned, his body being found yesterday. So far as can be learned the following is a complete list of the lives of white people lost: Carr. I. A. REED, Signal Officer. Dr. CROOKER. Dr. H. Rosencrans of Elgin, III., formerly a resident of Indianola. Mrs. HODGES and two children of Dr. Hodges family of Cuero. MRS. CROOKER Of Austin, visiting at India- rola with Mrs. Hodges. Mrs. HENRY SHEPPARD. TWO CHILDREN of Mrs. Max Luther of Corpus Christi. DR. DAVID LEWIS and A GERMAN, name unknown. Beside the above, the bodies of ten colored persons have been found; also the body of Dr. Crooker. Four miles of the track is washed away, rendering it impossible for trains to approach Indianola. There is much destitu- tion there among the poorer classes who have lost everything they possessed. The depth of the water is reported as great as it was during the great storm of 1875 when Indianola lost nearly two hundred of her citizens, swept away. Friday the flood of water over the doomed town was so rapid that within two hours after the first apprehensions were felt every street was submerged many feet. At San Antonio the loss to property is $500,- 000. At Fioresville the loss is $100,000. Never before was the lower Texas coast visited by so terrible and destructive astorm. It extended for 300 miles inland, destroying thousands of houses and involving a pecuniary loss of many millions. Among the poorer classes great desolation must 1 as but few were able to save any considerable portion of their small possessions from the general wreck. The entire crop of the present year is practically gone and a vast deal of suffering must ensue, especially among the negroes. most of whom are without means of any kind. It is feared that many more people were drowned at In- dianola. The lower end of the peninsula is completely washed away. Many people are missing and nothing definite can be learned until the angry waters recede. The storm came in the shape of a hurricane. The waters of the Gulf rose up, and in three hours the whole peninsula on which Indianola is sita- ated was under ten feet of water. The total loss, as now known, to Texas, from the Gulf storm, is: Human lives lost, thirty-eight; loss to crops, $1,000,000; loss to city and town 1 400,000; loss to shipping and har- or improvements, $900,000. SAN ANTONIO AND VICINITY. GALVESTON, August 23.—A special to the News from San Antonio says: ‘‘The damage to this city by the terrific cycione of Friday is estimated at $250,000. No loss of life has been reported and the work of reparation is already in progress. The storm was the severest ever known in this locality, the wind reachinga velocity of eighty-five miles an hour. From the surrounding country come reports that the cotton crop was seriously injured. The plant was blown down, and the sta. le beaten out dy the rain and lown away. Passengers on the Aransas Pass railway from Béeville and Floresville report great ravages by the storm at both points. At Beeville many houses in course of construction were demolished and old ones were unroofed or otherwise injured. Two churches at Floresville were completely ruined, while several stores and chee ong om were damaged seriously. An aged couple in attempting to cross a swollen stream in 4 wagon, a quarter ofa mile from Floresville, were swept down the stream and the woman drowned while the man had a narrow escape. The woman's body was recovered and given intermens by the passengers onatrain which was delayed forty-eight hours by washouts on the line, ADVANCE IN LUMBER. Log Famine Threatened Because of Low Water—North st. Louis Items. Dr. Wm. C.

The Police Believe a Plot Was Formed— Indorsing the Verdict. CHICAGO, August 23.—The police are very positive thatthe anarchists had some deeply laid scheme on hand with their outside friends on the morning when the verdict was returned by the jury, but just what it was they are un- able to determine. think, said an officer who has been on duty throughout the trial, that the arrange ments, whatever they might have been, had been concocted by the condemned men and conveyed by their relatives to the anarchists who were not in jail. You remember that when they filed into the Court-room for the last time Friday morning Parsons took a red silk hand- kerchief, which had been given him by Mrs. Parsons the day previous, out of his hat and waved itat the crowd. He also had a white handkerchief that morning and I believe if the verdict had been all right he would have used itforasignal. Thered signal was a sign for something, lam sure, and there would have been an outbreak tf there had been enough of his friends in the big crowd.’’ ‘‘That reminds me, suggested another of- ficer, ‘‘that Mrs. Parsons, lor an hour before the verdict was broughtin, arose at least six times from her seat and went to the window. Then, gazing at the crowd, as iftosize it up. she would return to her seat. I at once be- came suspicious ofiher actions and informed hry that she must not go t tbe window any more. This worried her, but I carried my point. The crowd had evidently not panned out to suit her. Ifit had, lam honest in saving there would have been some sort of trouble. THE VERDICT INDORSED. A union meeting of all the Chicago camps of the Patriotic Order of Sons of America was held after the jury returned the verdict in the anarchist case. Resolutions expressing the lessons taught the American public by the trial were unanimously adopted. The reso- lutions were preceded hy a preamble setting forththatthe agitation by alien sojourners under the name .of Internationalists, Social- ists, Anarchists and Nihilists, and the flaunting of the red and black flags is treason and rebellion against law; that these foreigners in trying to make a weapon of the laboring people have done greatinjustice and injury to the latter; and that much of the evil is due to the lack of discrimination in American immigration and naturalization laws. The resolutions are as follows: Resolved, by this union meeting of the Patriotic Order of Sons of America, that the verdict of the jury in the anarchist cases, meets our hearty approval as native born citizens and willadd much to the respect in which our beloved country is held throughout the world as a nation of law, liberty and order. tesolved, That the police of Chicago for their patriotic defense of liberty and law on the Haymarket square, May 4, deserve and re- ceive our heartfelt congratulations. Resolved, That we call upon Congress to limit foreign immigration, and make ten years continuous residence and ability to speak the English language necessary qualifications for citizenship.

New YORK, August 23.—The private palace car in which President Cleveland and his party made the recent trip into the Adirondacks 1s probably the most elegant, comfortable and luxurious apartment that was ever constructed to runon rails. It was built for the use of the directors of the Delaware and Hudson Railroad Company, and is at present carefully stored in their car houses at Green Island, opposite the city of Troy. The car bad been used amily once de- fore it was placed at the disposition of Mr. Cleveland. It is seventy-five feet in length, built of mahogany and is as complete in its arrangements us a modern city residence. At the rear end of the car is an observatory or parlor extending its entire width. It is furnished with two reclining chairs, four elegant easy chairs of willow, and a large sofa covered with green embossed leather. From the center of the ceiling depends a highly orna- mental chandelier with cut-glass globes. Electric bells connect with the quarters of the head porter. A glass door leuds out to the latform which is covered over with a hinging oorand on either side of it are plate glass windows, extending down tothe level of the floor. The bangings throughout are of silk 9 The dining-room of the car is admirably arranged. it is situated a trifle forward of ‘‘amidships,’’ and is lighted and ventilated to periection. A handsome buffet ornaments the upper side of the room, and the table, when not in use, can be elosed and stored away fie * As many aus eight diners ca be accommodated at asitting. On eitheMpide of the room are two carved panels fitted with plate-glass mirrors, which are so arranged that in cases of neces- sity they may be untoided and trasformed into double or single sleeping berths. In this man- ner eight peesons may be accommodated with sleeping upartments. The cosiest and pret- tiest little room in the entire car, however, is the private bed- room, which was given up to Mr. and Mrs. Cleveland during the ride into the mountains. It is as snug and ship-shape as a bridal- chamber on an ocean steamer, and sight. It is less than twenty feet long, and just wide enough to admit a bright brass bedstead crosswise at its lower end. The curtains and drapery are of the finest silk, and the fur- nit ure is upholstered to inatch. The walls are olished panels of mahogany. The doorway s at the upper end of a passageway, leading from the dining room to the observatory. A private bath and toilet-room are connected with the apartment. The extreme upper end ofthe car, which, in traveling, would come next to the engine and baggage car, is used as the kitchen and contains a range and all the utensils for cooking. Between it and the dining-room are the servants’ quarters. All in all, this private car is one ofthe handsomest specimens of rolling stock in this or any other country. Ir is very foolish to squander your money with Fifth street clothing establishments while the GLOBE, 705 to 713 Franklin avenue, is offering a splendid line of men’s black and brown corkscrew suits at $4.95, and a hand- some line of cassimere and worsted suits at $7.45 and $9.85 just the same as will cost $15 elsewhere. —— —— ee A HEARTLESS JOKE. The Trouble a Bogus Death Notice Causeda Cigar Dealer. By Telegraph to the PoOsT-DIspaTcnr. NEW YORK, August 23.—The following death notice appeared in an afternoon paper on Sat- urday: WHITE—Suddenly, on Friday, August 20, at her late residence, 874 Eighth avenue, Man- GARET WHITE, the beloved wife of Jobn P. White, aged 53 years; native of Clonleigh Parish, County Clare, Ireland. Relatives and friends of the family are respecttuily invited to attend the funeral on Sunday, August 22, at Jp. m.; interment in Calvary Cemetery. Mr. White is the proprietor of a cigar store in Eighth avenue, near his residence. He was in his store on Saturduy evening, when a friend rushed inand showed him the death notice. lle leit his store on a run and found his wife preparing the evening meal. That evening their friends and relatives began pouring into the house, and soon the apartments were filled. with people. Some of them had come from Brooklyn and Harlem. In order to prevent others who had not read the death notice from coming to at- tend the supposed tungral, Mr. White hastened to Printing house square, and yesterday morn- ing this notice was published: W HITE—The notice in last evening’s News of the death of Margaret White is a mistake. Mr. White said yesterday afternoon that he intended to prosecute the person who caused the death notice to be published. Heis confi- dent that it was done maliciously. He will consult with the police. Mrs. White is very indignant, and deciares that instead of being 55 years old she is not yet 30. She looks eyen younger.

Merriam, n of Silver Cliff, Col., “ONE OF OUR GIRLS.” MISS HELEN D’AUVRAY DELIGHTED WITH HER RECEPTION INENGLAND. Mr. Bronson Howard to Superintend Its Production Here—Miss Geraldine Ulmer Death of Samuel Colville—Local Amuse- ment Notes. . By Telegraph to the PosT-DISPATCH. New YORE, August 23.—Miss Helen D’Auvray wasone of the happiest Americans in this town yesterday. She had been one of the passengers on the Umbria while that steamer was engaged inthe difficult task of smashing her way from England to America through heavy seas and against stormy headwinds, and was greatly interested while the fun jJasted. In fact, she was sick from Southamp- ton to Newfoundland, so it is easy to see how very glad she was to find herself in New York again. „What shall I say to the Post-DIsPaTCH?’’ she asked the representative of that paper who called in the evening. ‘‘I hardly know. Why, I can almost feel even now the rocking and pitching of that ship in the gale. To think that Ishould have crossed the Atlantic fifteen timgs before and at last get sick on thesixteenth trip! Well, Ineedn’t say how pleased I am to be home again. I went to Europe six weeks agotorest, but I couldn’t help working bard all the time. I saw every Dilay in London, I believe. The people were very kind to me, and I was really surprised to find that they all knew about ‘One of Our Girls.’ All the managers sent me boxes, soltell youl saw everything, ‘Faust,’ ‘Jim, the Penman,’ and ali the rest. Mr. Charles Wyndham gave me a little dinner at his beautiful home at Twickenham, on the Thames, where I met a great many of the leading Engtish actors and theatrical peo- ple. They were all very kind to me, and you can easily think how glad I was to find that they seemed thoroughly acquainted with me and ‘One of Our Girls.’ Wiison Barrett entertained me at a pleasant reception, in factI almost felt at home over there. Did Isee Dixey? Oh, yes, and enjoyed his performance thoroughly, too. Then I went over to Paris and was busy with the dressmaker—or, had Ibetter say, the cos- tumer? I’ve brought home twenty-eight new dresses for my new play and the others. Beau- tiful? Oh, of course they are, but the more 1 go abroad the more 1 am convinced that Amer- ican actresses can have justas good wardrobes made in New York. 1 doubt very much if ever buy any more wardrobes in Paris. AND MY NEW PLAY? I’m sorry I cannot tell youits name, because it really has none yet. It resembles ‘One of Our Girls’ somewhat, but there is, perhaps, more light comedy init. I saw allof the first act and half each of the second and third, and Iwas charmed withit. Ithink the playgoers Will like it, too. Mr. Bronson Howard has been hard at work on it all summer, and the scenic artists have donea great deal of ex- cellent work in their preparations for it. Mr. Howard will come home in October and join our company on the road, so that we may have plenty of time for rehearsals. Then we will come back to New York early in Decem- ber and open on the 13th of that month, after two weeks’ more of steady rehearsal. Mr. Edgar Bruce, manager of the Princess Thea- tre, has made arrangements for our company to play ‘One of Our Girls’ at his house, begin- ning next May. By the way, I have engaged a new leading juvenile, Mr.Frank Rodney of the Haymarket Theatre. He will sail for New York on September 4, and will join us in time for our opening at Boston on the 27th with ‘One of Our Girls.’’ From there we go to Phil- adelphia, Chicago and St. Louis. I almost feel like boasting about ‘One of Our Girls.’ The Western managers are very enthusiastic about it and have given me excellent terms. And now, I’m going to take a rest—a real rest, I mean. I’m going to my mother’s cottage at Richard's Springs fora few weeks and then tothe Thousand Islands for the fishing. I need a longer rest, but I can’t take it.“ MISS GERALDINE ULMER. Leaving Miss D’Auvray to the rest which she so sorely needs, but which her appearance would hardly lead one to think was necessary, the PosT-DISPATCH representative was soon shaking hands with Miss Geraldine Ulmer, the American singer who has been playing ubroad with the D’Oyley Carte ‘‘Mikado’’ troupe, and who also arrived yesterday in the Umbria and registered at the Westminster Hotel. Miss Ulmer said the troupe had hau a most successful tour, having been well re- ceived everywhere, especially in Berlin, where they sang four weeks. The Germans, Miss Ulmer said, were profuse in applause and were evidently highly pleased with the ‘*Mikawdo.’’ „Regarding English audiences,’’ said Miss Ulmer, I had always supposed they were cold, unsympathetic and slow to enthuse, but now Iknow to the contrary. The English audiences that attended our pertormances were very kind to us, andl am sure much pleased with our efforts. Can't you tell me something about Gilbert and Sullivan's new operay?’’ „Really, I don’t know much about it. You see, the first act is yet incomplete, and 1 didn’teven see any ofit. The new opera will have two acts, and from all I have heard of it, itis just as good as the average of Gilbert and Sullivan’s works.’’ Where is the scene Iaid?’’ Jam informed the plot is laid in England, several centuries back. It probably deals with old English lite. I have heard once that it was to be called ‘The Khedive,’ but that was officially denied. It will be ready, I am told, about the middie of October, and will proba- bly be produced first in this country in No vember. Three managers—Stetson, McCaull and D’Oyley Carte—have contracts to play it, and I understand that they have divided up the cities where they will produce it. Mr. Stetson will open with it in New York in No- vember. Ihave signed with Mr. Stetson for the coming season and will play in prima donna roles. Miss Ulmer left last night for Massachusetts, where she will visit her parents, PERUGINI AND OUDIN, Perugini, the famous tenor, and Eugene Oudin, the new baritone engaged by Col. MeCaull, arrived yesterday on the Britannic. Mr. Oudin, in the afternoon, joined the rest of the company in rebearsing Josephine, which is to be produced at Wallack’s on Au- gust 30. Mr. Oudin will take the part of Mon- tosol and is known as an artist of merit. His voice is rich, full and syimpathetic land is ex- pected to score a success on the first night. He isa New Yorker by birth, a lawver by profession and sang for a time in St. Stephen’s church aud in concerts. Perugini discovered Mr. Oudin in a Chicago law-office and induced him to enter the operatic profession. He created quite afurore in London during the season just closed, and his singing was highly com- 1 by the Prince of Wales in person. le is but 28 years old and quite handsome. Perugini will not appesr until January, when „Lorraine“ willbe given at the Star Theater. Miss Gertrude Griswold, Bret Hart’s niece will make her debut atthe sametime. Peru. gini, who left America on July 26, was ill with paralysis most of the time, and sang only once during his absence, and then when com: ing over on the Britannic. MISS ELLEN TERRY. Miss Ellen Terry with her daughter, Miss Edith Wardell, arrived yesterday trom Narra- gansett Pier and went up tothe Victoria Hotel Ailday Miss Terry complained of a severe headache and instructions were given the hotel officiais that sne cared to see no Visitors In the evening, however, Miss Terry telt somewhat better, and with her daughter took a short walk on Fifth avenue.

Samuel Colville, the veteran theatrical man- ager, died suddenly of heart disease at his home, No. 24 Seventh avenue, last night. Mr. Colville had been complaining of feeling ill for the past four or five days and was under med- ical treatment. Yesterday morning he went driving with his wife, and on his return said he was feeling much improved. In the afternoon, about 5 o'clock, he told his business agent, J. W. Kosanquest, that he wished to take another drive, and requested him to ac- company him. The pair went up into the park in an open carriage and Mr. Colville, who said the drive was invigorating him, saluted several friends passing. When about three quarters of the way through the park, one of Mr. Colville’s fainting spelis came over him. The carriage was turned homeward and on the way down Mr. Colville said he felt that he was dying. At the Eighth avenue entrance to the park the carriage was stopped ata hotel and a glass of brandy was procnred for Mr. Colville. A physician was sent for who soon responded. Mr. Colville entered the house, being met at the door by his wife. He went into the parlor, threw him- self into an easy chair and in a minute later was dead. His wife, Mr. Rosenquest, Dr. Ford and the ladies of the house were present. Mr. Colville was boinin Ireland, December 25, 1825. He came to this country when he was l4 years old. His boyhood was passed in the dry goods business in this and Western cities. A few years later ne went to Australia, and in Meibourne at one time he managed three thea- ters. He came back to this country aftera few years and engaged in theatrical business in this and other cities. He inanaged the National Theater in Cincinnati for tonr years. He introduced the melo- drama The World’’ from abroad, and it was the forerunner of the ‘‘Lights of London’’ and of several other melodramas of a similar style, all of which met with great success. Four years ago Mr. Colville assumed control of the Fourteenth Street Theatre, and held it ut the time of his death, when he was making aiterations in the theater preparatory to the coming season. In August, 184, he married Miss Eme Roseau, the well-known actress. Mr. Colville was always a devoted admirer of the Rev. Dr. Houghton, pastor of the ‘‘Little Chureh Around the Corner.“ and his funeral will take place from that church Wednesday. Mr. Colville is one of the oldest members of the St. Louis Lodge of Elks. Mr. Wm. Wetherell, the Exaited Ruler, has telegraphed Mr. John W. Norton and Wm. Conner to at- tend the funeral as representatives of the lodge. Amusement Notes. C. T.
