Manufacturer's SampleLine LATES? EDINION THE BULGARIAN CRISIS. CONFLICTING REPORTS AS TO THE WHERE- ABOUTS OF PRINCE ALEXANDER. The Deposed Ruler Believed to Be En Route to Darmstadt—Karavalofi’s Government Recognized by the Powers—Alexander Re- quested to Resume the Rale of Bulgaria— Russia Intriguing to Prevent This—The Situation. Special Cablegram to the Post-Dispatch. LONDON, August 26.—The excitement on the subject of the Bulgarian crisis continues un- abated. Dispatches of serious import were received yesterday at the foreign office and the Prime Minister was hastily summoned to town, where he remains for the present. The news comes that a counter-revolution has taken place in Bulgaria, and that the con- spirators who seized the Prince have been ar- rested and thrown into prison. SEARCHING FOR THE PRINC™. The old ministry, headed by Mr. Karavelow, one of the most trusted of the Prince’s adh:r- ents, bas been restored to power, andthe whole country, especially the army and the peasantry, appearto have risen in Alexan- der's favor. Parties are being sent out to find the latter, whose whereabouts continue un- known. Every effort will be made to per- suade him to return, but it is greatly feared that he is already in the hands of the Russian authorities in Bessarabia. EXASPERATION OF BULGARIANS. The exasperation in Bulgaria against the tussians is intense and it is a great mistake to imagine that the inhabitants of that country are Moscovite in their sympathies. Any grati- tude they may originally have felt towards the Czar for having liberated them from Turkish rule has been more than counterbalanced by the harghness and contempt displayed toward them by the Russian officials until the Prince got rid of them. The majority of Bulgarians would apparently be glad to get out of Rus- sian influence once and for all. The recent war between Servia and the Bulgarians did much to create a feeling of good fellowship between the latter and the Turks. The following in- stance may suffice to show this: After the war Prince Alexander instituted one gold and 100 silver medais, to be distributed among the most valiant soldiers of his army, the election of the recipients to be made by the soldiers. The elections took place, and the gold medal was unanimously awarded to a Turkish volun- teer, while thirteen of the silver medals were also adju‘iged to Mohammedans. THE CONSPIRATORS IN DANGER. It ig quite possible that with the present state of feeling the principal conspirators may be put to death. All of them have been noto- riously, and almost openly, in receipt of money from Russia. On the occasion of the last anniversary of the signature of the treaty of San Stefano, M. Velitchkoff, one of the principal conspirators, calledto congratulate the Russian envoy. On arriving at the lat- ter’S door hu stopped and shonted, Long live the treaty of San Stefano, whereupon the passers-by instead of cheering loudly merely laughed at him, erying, ‘‘Long live the Russian roubies.’’ MGR, CLEMENT. Mer. Clement, the Prime Minister of the conspirators’ Cabinet, isthe principal eccle- siastical dignitary residing inthe country,being the delegate of the Bulgarlan exarch or pri- mate, who resides at Constantinople. Russia bas long intrigued to get the primacy of the Bulgarian Church transferred from the exarch to the Metropolitan of Moscow, but in vain. Clement, however, had been completely won over by M. Koiander, the Russian En- voy at Sofia. M. Zaukoff has long been known as a traitor to the. Prince, and is working in behalf of Russian preponderance. His hostility to the Prince, both personally and politically, was on a par with that of M. Koiander, and it speaks highly for the Prince’s magnanimity that he should have never used his power to inflict a well-merited punishment on Mr. Zau- koff. PROBABLE RUSSIAN INVASION. The universal impression here in London is that the Czar will take advantage of the present revolution and counter-revolu- tion to march into Bulgaria under the pretense of restoring order. It is probably for this purpose that he has massed such a large body of troops in Bessarabia underthe command ofa staff of no less than nineteen generals. Not only the Pan-Slavist organs of Moscow, but even the more moderate of the Russian newspapers are urging himto do so. But, according to the terms of the convention signed by the Great Powers afew months ago at Constanti- nople, the Porte is authorized, in case of a revolt, to march troops not only into East- ern Roumelia, but even into Bulgaria. Acting on this clause the Sultan has ordered the immediate occupation of the Roumelian frontier and has commanded a levee-en- masse of the Mussulman population throughout the empire. The whole reserves have also been called out, and thereis every sign that even if Northern Bulgaria is, under the pretense of maintaining order, occupied by the Czar, at any rate the Turks will not permitasingle Russian soldier to cross the Balkans or toenter the Province of Eastern Roumelia. A CONFLICT INEVITABLE. On the other hand the Russians, who have brought.about the fall of Prince Alexander solely upon the ground that he was sacrific- ing the rights of the Slavsin Eastern Roume- lia to the Porte, cannot logically allow the latter to resume their former rule of this Christian province. A conflict is, therefore, regarded here as inevitable, and itis gener- ally considered that Russia will shortly be at war with Turkey. The old traditional policy ot the Tories, together with the Cyprus treaty, whereby England guaranteed her as- sistance to maintain the integrity of the Ot- toman Empire, would then draw Great Britain into tne struggle. It is charac- teristic of Russian diplomacy that when M. De Nelidoff, the Russian Ambas- sador at Constantinople, returned to his post a short time ago, after spending a fortnight with the Ozar, he gave the Sultan the most strongly worded assurances that his im- perial master had not the slightest intention of interfering in any way in Bulgaria, and that all reports tothe contrary were untrustworthy. It the troops are massed in Bessarabia,’’ he said, they are merely collected there for the annual maneuvers, and the Ozar is deter - mined to let things shape their own course in * ; * At the same time it is noted that the only — Bulgaria during the past few days were those addressed to the Russian Ambassador. TURKEY LEFT TO HER FATE. The Vienna papers in discussing the recent events in Bulgaria express the opinion that England willleave Turkey henceforth to her fate. They remark that England, with her parliamentary institutionsand limited secret service money, is no match for Russia, which can pour out uncontrolled millions of roubles in the clandestine prosecution of its designs. The clear fact is that in order to create a strong Bulgaria, England was acting for Tur- key’s interest. Turkey has not seen it, has accepted Russian bribes, and has played false. The consequence, according to Vien- nese opinion, must be that England will wash her hands of Turkey and, waiting for the in- evitable day when Russia and Austria will fight over Turkey’s spoils, will prepare her- self tobe ready on that day to guard her in- terests as the opportunity may dictate. Dispatches received here from Bucharest last night state that the Prince of Bulgaria landed at Reni and pro- ceeded thence to Darmstadt, Vienna or Berlin. This is evidently meant to refer to Prince Alexander’s youngest brother, Joseph, formerly a lieutenant in the Prussian army, who was at Sofia at the time of the recent coup d’etat. It appears that the conspirators seized and carried him off atthe same time with Prince Alexander. The Russian authorities at Reni could have no possible object in de- taining him and consequently allowed him to leave. IN THE HANDS OF RUSSIANS. LONDON, August 26.—The Queen telegraphed to Bucharest yesterday for news of Prince Alexander of Bulgaria. Conflicts have taken piace in the streets of Sofia between loyalists and supporters of Zankoff. Prince Alexander’s adherents are still in prison. Caravaroff, the Russian Captain in command of Prince Alexander’s yacht, has telegraphed to Bucharest, in reply to an inquiry, that the Prince was handed over to the Russian author- ities. Prince Bismarck’s unusual course in visiting M. DeGiers is much commented upon. WILL OPPOSE THE RESTORATION. It ig the general opinion that Russia will not now allow Prince Alexander to reascend the throne. A HINT TO ENGLAND. The Daily News this morning says: ‘‘To pro- mote the progress of a people which has come out of the Zankoff affair in such an admirable manner, is a task to which England can worthily apply herself diplomatically.’’ ALEXANDER SAFE AND FREE. The British Foreign Office has been informed that Prince Alexander is both safe and free, and that he is on his way to his homein Darmstadt. The dispatches state that after being conveyed out of Bulgaria the Prince was set free at Reni. It is believed here that when Prince Alexander learns of the counter-revolution in his favor he will at once return to Sofia. His presence there will, itis believed, quell all disorder and restore peace to the country. THE POWERS INVITE ALEXANDER TO RETURN. Sir J. Ferguson, Under Foreign Secretary, stated in the House of Commons this after- noon that the loyal troops had entered Sofla on Tuesday with the consent of the powers. The exact whereabouts of Prince Alexander, the Secretary said, was un- }/ known to the British Government, but tele- grams had been forwarded to him inviting him td return and resume his rule in Bulgaria. NOT CREDITED IN VIENNA. VIENNA, August 26.—The Russian Telegram Agency’s statement that Prince Alexander had been released is little credited here. WHAT RUSSIA WILL DO. CONSTANTINOPLE, August 26.—M. Nelidoff, the Russian Ambassador here, has informed his colleagues that in the event of serious dis- orders in Bulgaria Russia would, with the other powers, consider necessury measures for interfering. THE KARAVALOFF GOVERNMENT RECOGNIZED. SOFIA, August 26.—A single regiment of troops with the assistance of a number of mil- itary cadets, accomplished the work of de- posing Prince Alexander. Before pro- ceeding against the Prince the _ revolu- tionists arrested the commander of Prince Alexander's regiment, which was at Slivnitza. The Provisional Government, seeing that the populace were evidently loyal to the deposed Prince, resigned office and lib- erated the commander, who at once brought his regiment from Slivnitza, and disarmed the regiment which had assisted in deposing the Prince. After this, the commander placed under arrest the political leaders who had managed the coup d’etat. The powers have recognized the Govern- ment formed by M. Karavaloff, with him as a Premier, M. Storloff as Foreign Minister, M. Panoff as Minister of War, and M. Gueshoff as Minister of Finance. The Provisional Govern- ment has assured the Porte that the movement in favor of Prince Alexander is not inimical to Turkey, and has asked the Porte to reopen the railway between Constantinople and Phil- ippopolis. THE CZAR’S ORDER. RENT, August 26.—The Czar has ordered that Prince Alexander be forwarded to Kisseneff it he refuses to accept his abdication as an ac- complished fact. The towns of Bulgaria are decked with flags, and there is generai rejoic- ing at the overthrow of the rebels. PERMITTED TO GO TO GERMANY. VIENNA, August 26.—The Czar has permitted Prince Alexander to proceed to Germany by way of Odessa. THE MILFORD CENTER DISASTER. Two Men Killed and Several Injured—The Air Brakes Failed to Work. CotumBus, O., August 26.—The Dispatch’s special reports that the only victims of the wreck at Milford Center are Charies Phillips, night policeman at that place, and Sam Lan- don of Marysville, Assistant Sergeant-at-arms of the Ohio House. The Coroner finds that the passenger train air brakes failed to work, and the train was going at the rate of thirty miles an hour, while the freight was going eight miles per hour. The fireman of the passenger train jumped from the window of the cab and was badly injured about the head. Railroad Notes. W. W. Fagin, Superintendent of the Central Branch, is inthe city on his way home from the Kast. w. E. Jones, General Claim Agent of the Missouri Pacific, returned this morniug from his summer vacation. There is a new rumor afloat concerning a cut in east-bound freight rates. Beyond a doubt flour is bei hammered some, but by which road it is im ibie to ascertain, as each maintains a bold front and stout denial. Memorial Committees, President Cobb of the Merchants’ Exchange to-day appointed the following committee to draft resolutions on the death of E. F. Beeker: W. J. Lemp, Ed F. Hoppe, W. F. Orthwein; PARNTELLS AMENDMENT. THE TORIES CALLED TOGETHER TO TEMPT ITS DEFEAT. \ AT- A Whip Issued—Destruction of the Great Northern Railroad Shops—Deroulede, the French Anti-German Agitator, Banqueted by Russian Sympathizers—A Sea Horror— Foreign News. : LONDON, August 26.—A whip has been issned urging the Tory members to attend the meet- ing of the House of Commons to-night and defeat Mr. Parnell’s amendment to the ad- dress in reply to the Queen's speech, in rela- tion to the Irish land question. RAILROAD SHOPS BURNED. The engine shops of the Great Northern Rall- road Company at Boston, Lincolnshire, were destroyed by fire to-day. Several hundred persons have been thrown out of employment in consequence. DECLARED BANKRUPT. Sir John William Craddock Hartopp has been declared a bankrupt., Ireland. LAST NIGHT’S RIOT AT BELFAST. BELFAST, August 26.—Everything is quiet here to-day. Huge paving stones and broken glass mark the scene of last night’s riot. A CLERGYMAN’S VIOLENT SPEECH. The Rev. Dr. Kane, the Protestant clergy man who declared that unless the police were immediately disarmed, 200,000 armed Orange- men would relieve them of their weapons, is ugain out with a declaration charging the Mi ‘istrate of Belfast with criminal parieying witu lawlessness. France. A BANQUET TO DEROULEDE. ST. PETERSBURG, August 26.—Paul Deron- lede, the French advocate, whose presence here, agitating a union of Russia and France in a war against their common enemy. Germany, has created such a sensation, has been given another banquet, this time by Russian authors, artists and journalists. The banquet was private. It was learned, however, that the tendency of all the toasts and speeches was to emphasize whatthe French lawyer described as the inborn sympathy be tween France and Russia, and ‘‘the bene ficient influence which French and Russian literature and art exercise upon each other. Central America. THE HONDURAS REVOLUTION A FIASCO. LA LIBORTAD, Via GALVESTON, August 26,— Influential and well-informed parties here re- port that the revolution in Honduras headed by Gen. Dolgado is a flasco and will result in mak ing President Bogran’s position much stronger. San Salvador is quiet and the press enjoys the utmost freedom. The Presidential election will shortly take place. The opposition party is very strong. Russia. CONRADI RELEASED. ST. PETERSBURG, August 26.—Conradi, who was recently arrested at Simferopol for spreading heresies, bas been released as a re sult of the interposition of Mr. Lothrup, the United States Minister, and has been ordered to leave Russia. His offense was baptising persons of the Lutheran faith. The Dominion. A SEA HORROR. NEW YorK, August 26.—A St. Johns (N. r.) special to the Herald says: A dispatch from St. Pierre announces the total loss of the French ship L’ Etoile. She was commanded by Capt. Cherel, and was manned by a crew of twenty-one fishermen. She was returning fish laden with others of the Grand Bank fleet when, during the prevalance of a dense fog and very boisterous sea, she struck yesterday mofhing on the reefs of Kalans Island, Lama- line was shattered in pieces and immediately sank. Twelve of her crew were drowned; nine, with the captain, were washed through the boiling surface and landed among the shingle and sea weed of the shore in a lifeless condition. It is hoped that most of them will recover. A fishing vesse! at Port Degrave was also lost. Capt. Butler, his son and all hands perished. THE NUDES. Modest Pictures at the Kxposition—Work of the Exhibitors. Mr. Redheffer and Mr. Allen were busy with the pictures in the Exposition art galleries again to-day. The larger canvases have been placed side by side along the walls, that placgs of prominence may be selected for them. When they are placed, the smaller pictures will be grouped around them. Mr. Redheffer bas about concluded to hang Denman’s beautiful picture The Trio, on the south wall of the first room, directly opposite the entrance. Beyle’s ‘‘Bad News,’’ which Mr. Redheffer looks upon asthe gem of the collection, will have the post of honer on the west wall of the second room. The other pictures have not been placed yet. CHASTE AS ICE. „There will be no nudes in the collection this year,’’ said Mr. Redheffer this morning. „1 have looked the pictures all over and there is not one among them that could bring a blush of shame to the cheek of modesty.’’ This will remove one of the chief attractions the display of last year had forthe hairless contingent, but will probably recommend this year’s exhibit to the religiously inclined. It will relieve Mr. Scruggs and Mr. Houser of much anxiety, for they will not be called upon to look upon the immodest, even with aview to exercising wise discretion and excluding it from the exhibition. The American artist does notrun to the nude as does his French brother. We received notification this morning that Alexander Harrison's picture, ‘The Wave,’ is coming on by express and will be here in a few days, said Mr. Allen. We were not sure we could get it untilto-day. It will bea val- uable addition to our collection. It 18 one of the best marines I ever saw. It is an evening effect, looking out to sea. It is a pure study of the wave and the odd effects of light upon it. There is only alittle strip of sand in the fore- ground without a single figure,a stone or any- thing. The distance that the artist has worked up is marvellous. The canvas is 12x6 feet.’’ One of Geo. W. Chambers’ canvases which came rolied, was stretched this morning. The paper in which it was rolled has adhered to the paint in places, and it will take tweive hours’ hard work to clean it off. THE EXHIBITS PROGRESSING. The Richardson Drug Company will havea life-size figure of the group ‘*That Dirty Boy,’’ in the show- window of their case. The Wrought-Iron Range Company have put in position a range of fancy brick and tiles, over which is a picture of a polar bear sitting on a range to keep warm. Crane, the furniture man, will occupy the space under the gali stairs at the east end of the big nave. It been empty hereto- fore. The Greeley- Burnham Grocery Company are putting up a house of unique design. The Gatlin temple is of Moorish design and will be decorated in blue, gold and silver. The Heidman-Benoist Saddlery Com will 11 space in the west end of the west nave in the gallery. List of Robberies. A coat and vest valued at $15 were stolen yesterday afternoon from the room of Charies Bradfish, No. 508 Market street. It has been learned that when the house of B. Duross, 1348 Elliott avenue, was burglar- ized on the 10th, a pair of large gold chased bracelets were takenin addi the other about 8 o'clock last evening his street, Was entered ; and end. te e ay Nl 21 Er 5 1 * — 7 2 8 8 S . i 7 et 0 » 1 1 7 * ne 4 2 . . 22 1 8 N — e ms 7 8 7 au ¢ > * 1 Ken — —— 5 9 ; # ? = a * —ä— a A

SODA LOCOMOTIVES. otors for Use in the Streets of a City Where Steam is Forbidden. From the Philadelphia Record. At the Baldwin Locomotive Worksthere are in course of construction four loco- Queer M motives which are designed to be run by soda, which takes the place of fire under the boiler. Soda has much the same power as coal without any of the offensive gases which that fuel emits, The engines are now nearly finished, and are to be shi ped within two weeks to Minneapolis, Minn., and are to be run on the streets of that city where steam engines are forbidden. The engine has much the same appear- ance as à pussenger car. It is about 16 feet long, — xed in, with no visi- ble smokestacks or pipes, as there is no exhaust or refuse. The boiler is of copper, 84% inches in diameter and 15 feet long, having tubes running through it, as in steam boilers. Inside the boiler will be laced five tons of soda, which, upon being mpened by a jet of steam, produces an intense heat. When the soda is thoroughly saturated, which will occur in about six hours, the action ceases, and then it is nec- essary to restore it to its original state by forcing through the boiler a stream of superheated steam from a stationary Poller, which drives the moisture entirely from the soda, when it is ain ready for use. The exhaust steam from the cylin- ders is used to saturate the soda, and by this means all refuse is used. These engines are the first of ,their kind that have been built in this country, and are being constructed under the super - vision of George Kuchler, a German en- gineer. The engines will have about the same power as those on the New York elevated railroads, and will readily draw four light cars. Soda engines are now used in Berlin and other European cities very successfully, and they also traverse the St. Gothard Tunnel, under the Alps, where steam engines cannot be used, be- cause the length of the tunnel renders it impossible to devise a system of ventila- tion which will carry off the foul gases generated by a locomotive. So overpow- ering would those gases become that suf- focation would ensue. A Plant Which Destroys Malaria. From the London Telegraph. Dr. Brandes, a physician at Hitzackes, Hanover, has written an article in a Ger- man medical paper in which he demon- strates the valuable properties of the anacharis alsinastrum, a water plant which has hitherto been considered as an unmitigated plague, choking up rivers aud altogether useless. Dr. Brandes has remarked that in the district where he lives and where malaria and diarrhœa yearly appeared in a spo- radic or epidemic form, these diseases have gradually decreased since the ana- charis alsinastrum began to infest the neighboring rivers and marshes, and since four years have totally disappeared. The above-named water plant nourishes itself on decayed vegetable matter, and grows with incredible rapidity. It thus destroys the germs which produce malaria and diarrhoea; and besides its presence obliges the frequent cleansing of standing waters, a measure beneficial to health. Dr. Brandes therefore proposes that the experiment should be tried of planting the anacharis alsinastrum in marshy districts. It is also useful in protecting the —, — e fish, and affords an excellent dung. plant came originall from Canada, whence it was brought to England, and thence to Germany about 1840. In North Germany it rapidly spread far and wide, and this year appears in all parts in un- usual luxuriance. — DIED. GALLIGAN—August 26, Ros, infant danghter ot J. F. and Lizzie Galligan.

New YoRK, August 26, II a. m.—There was a dull and uninteresting opening atthe Stock Exchange this morning, first prices in a ma- jority of the active list being unchanged from yesterday’s closing figures, with small de- eines. Prices were generally firm in the early trading, but soon became heavy. West- ern Union lost 1 per cent from the best figures reached, the others fractions. There was no further change during the hours, and at ll [ous the marketis dulland steady at the echne. New YORE, August 26, noon.—Money is quiet at 7 per cent. Bar silver, 92%. The stock market after 11 o’ciock resumed the down- ward movement and Lake Shore lost 1 per cent. Business, however, was extremely dull, being mostly confined to Lackawanna, Lake Shore, New York Central and Erie. The de- cline was checked by 11:30, after which a dull and featureless market ensued, lasting until noon, although some few slight recoveries were made. At noon the market was dull and steady.

It ap- pears that the Marshal, who is a Demo- crat, has been making so many arrests among the moonshiners in the mountains, who are Republicans, that the Republican Judge became incensed at the continuous raids upon his political friends and finally refused to approve the Marshal’s requisi- tion on the Treasury at Washington for a _ n. shows some gratitude in defending his hardy pets in their rugged mountain lairs; but it is probable that.a strong case of offensive partisanship could be made out against him. Politics make strange bed- fellows,’ especially in pulling the same blanket over the Judge and the moon- shiner. ) 0 1 IT GROWS. Tne Pennsylvania Democrats on the 18th inst. nominated Lieut.-Gov. CHAUN- cry F. Brack for Governor. His father, the late Judge BLack, that illustrious con- stitutional lawyer and statesman, with a foresight that was not appreciated at the time, succéeded in 1873 in laying upon a broad, safe, equitable foundation, in the Constitution of Pennsylvania, the basis of future legislation to hold in check the growing and dangerous power of our rail- road corporations. Year after year during the remainder of his life the grand old man appeared be- fore legislative committees at Harrisburg and poured out the giant resources of his logic and eloquence, pleading in vain for enactments to enforce the XVIth and XVIIth articles of the State Constitution. The power he sought to curb was already enthroned there and refused to ab- dicate. But some of the seed of his doctrine took root in the popu- lar mind and grew until a Dem- ocratic State Administration was elected mainly on this issue with his son as Lieutenant-Governor. This was the capture of but one of Monopoly’s out- works, and the Constitution remained a dead letter until at last the logic of events has made its enforcement such an over- shadowing issue that even the Republican nominee for Governor has been compelled to amend and complete the defective platform of his party by declaring himself in favor of strong legislation to enforce the nullified articles. It is under these circurustances that the Pennsylvania Democrats place the son of Judge Brack at the head of their State ticket with the following planks in their platform: 5. That we pledge ourselves to the enforce- ment of articles sixteen and seventeen of the State Constitution relative to private corpo- ations, railroads and canals by appropriate legiglation. 6. That the State and local tax laws should be so altered and amended as to relieve farms and real estate from its present unfair and large proportion of taxation, and equalize the same so that personal estate wonld be made to pay its just pars. Tho sixth plank was rendered necas- sary, as Gov. PaTTISON has shown, by the fact that railroad control over the legisla- tion of the State had succeeded in sad- dling upon the farmers and real estate owners $32,000,000 of the $8,000,000 of State taxes collected in Pennsylvania. Judge Brack's articles were incorpora- tedin the Missouri Constitution of 1875, and remained as completely a dead letter under Democratic rule in Missouri as un- der Republican rule in Pennsylvania. But orn the day of CuauNnCry F. BLack’s nomination at Harrisburg, a Democratic State Conyention met in St. Louis and adopted a resolution which promises that the XII th artiole of Missouri’s Constitu- tion shall be no longer nullified. And now comes New York with a de- mand for anew constitution with similar provisions. ‘‘Corporations and monopo- lies,“ says the WORLD, must be ‘‘ohecked in their arroganco and over- ‘‘rrowth, and the power of the Govern- ment over them must be settled by the „fundamental law before their control of the Government becomes irresistible. Wholesome compctition must be in- ‘‘sured by stringent laws. Corporations ‘fmust no longer be allowed to seize on „ publio franchises and use them against ‘‘the public interests, but must be re- ‘‘quired to hold such special privileges as ‘‘public trusts. The groundwork of the tax. laws must be so framed in the Con- stitution itself as to make it impossible ‘‘that personal property to the amount of hundreds of millions can any longer es- ‘‘capo taxation altogether and force an ‘‘undue burden for the support of Goy- ‘‘fernment upon real estate, and thus ‘upon tho rent aud daily expeuses of the ‘‘npoor. Tax on incomes of not less than 45,000 or $10,000, increasing in rate with ‘‘the increase of income, must be pro- *‘‘vided for.“ \ EE — — Tae Fifth District Democratio Con- gressional Convention yesterday nomina- ted Judge JohN F. Phrrurs of the Kan- sas City Court of Appeals. If the Judge’s future congressional performance shall be commensurate with his promises, the Fifth District will have every reason to be delighted with him. ‘‘If elected to rep- resent this district and this city—the greatest between the east and the setting sun,’’ said the Judge, ‘‘I will endeavor to give wings to her oommerce and I hope to contribute something to keep the star of empire westward in its course.” The speaker’s method of locat- ing Kansas City may sound a little vague to the hasty reader, and hence it should be explained that the expression “the greatest between the East and the set- ting sun“ is simply another way of saying the greatest between the West and the rising sun.” The vagueness of the lan- guage used heightens its poetic quality, although something of geographical pre- cision is sacrificed. The promise of the nominee to ‘‘oontribute something” to keep the star of empire from wobbling outof the right path probably means that his ‘‘bar’l’’ will do its duty in the cam- paign. ie Sam Jones’ friends are circulating the following as an advertising notice: A young man who had traveled with d show for six years and played a an as ae age eee ‘ +4 hd — 1 72 ‘‘onlliope was reclaimed at one of 1 N . 4 * 4 leg, a) oe ‘sy „ 2 25 W 5 1 1 F a OT ee, GATE BES RR e 1 J eg = 25 N e * 2 a) oa . . 7 . los E „Rev. Sam Jonzs’ revival meetings last „month.“ This is misleading, since it implies that a man who plays a calliope is a peculiarly hardened reprobate; while there is no logical reason why he should be worse than the man who beats the tom- tom for the Salvation y. Aphilosoph- ical view of the matter woyld lead one to think that it would be easier to convert a calliope-player than to convert the people who have to listen to him. It may be fair and right to make a public announcement of every conversion wrought under the influence ot Mr. Jones’ preaching; but it is not right to discredit an honest but humble occupa- tion merely for advertising purposes, There is no reason why a consistent Chris- tian should not play a calliope for fair wages, unless an objection is raised on ac- count of the affluent profanity usually evoked by that harsh instrument. 1 TRE election of Mr. DELANO to the chair- manship of the Republican City Commit- tee gives quite an air of respectability to that organization. It is always unsafe to promise too much in behalf of a new man, but Mr. DELANO has a good reputation which he can have no motive to forfeit, and he is not likely to impair his personal standing for the sake of politics. It re- mains to be seen whether he has the nerve“ which his dangerous position requires. There have been occasions in the history of St. Louis politics when a Republican leader was needed not only to prevent Democratic ballot-box stuffing, but also to prevent Republican usurpers from handling Democratic boodle. — — — - BULGARIA is not big enough to make 4 Kingdom of, but the Bulgarians are too big to be used as puppets in any game of Russian politics. After the cruelties of the Turks in 1876 had failed to crush them utterly, it was only to be expected that an intense spirit of national pride should be created by the remarkable success of their war with Servia. The Bulgarians are pretty rough customers, as is only natural after four hundred years of Turkish handling, but it is impossible not to sympathize with that love of independ- ence and that outburst of patriotism which have set ali Bulgaria ablaze, and which demand the restoration of ALEXANDER. —̃—— —xT'.—— TO-pAyY’s telegrams to the Post- Disrarch show that the Socialistic ele- ment in some of the Chicago Knights of Labor assemblies will attempt to make war on POWDERLY in the approaching National convention to be held at Richmond, Va.

From the Philadelphia Record. The people of the South are not coming for- ward to the support of Senator Blair’s educa- tion bill, as that hare-brained political philan- thropist was led to expect. The Demooeratic Convention in Texas leaned so far away from the Blair bill that it went too far in the other direction. It declared that the education of the children is a matter of State right and duty, and that the Congress of the United the . 1 Ld lative of the Federal Constitution, the support of schools by the States has beem approved upon the plea that it is necessary as a precau- tionary step in the prevention of crime, on the theory that the spread of knowledge is tanta- mount to an improved condition of morals. Education has been advanced and diffused by the public school system of the States, but there is no proot that morals have been im- proved at tne same time. The grade of crime advances with the education of the criminal. There is no moral advance without moral teaching and that the scholars in the public schools don’t get. If the Texas Democrats had resolved that the education of the children is a matter of right and duty devolved upon the persons who take the responsibility of bringing them into the worid’’ their posi- tion would have been impregnable. The Labor Vote. From the Philadelphia Record. The political managers in Pennsylvania on both sides are just now busily engaged in manipulating what they call the ‘‘Labor vote, and by all appearances they are en- gaged in a hard task. By a bold stroke the Democratic State Convention sought to win the Labor vote by nominating one of its al- leged representatives for Congress at large. The Republicans have been so eager to give a warlike appearance to their ticket that they utterly neglected this labor element, and the | ‘ party managers are now endeavoring to make | i amends by employing agents, supposed to have influence among the workingmen, to bring into the field athird ticket in imitation of the programme adopted in 1878. This ‘‘Labor vote’’ is treated by the politi- cians as if it were an element wholly separate and distinct from the rest of the political com- munity, and as something that could be molded at will by afew men who control its organization. This we regard asa great error. While a large number of workingmen are or- ganized as Knights of Labor or in other asso- ciations, the individual members do not sur- render any of their liberty of political action by reason of such organization. The political and social interests of a free State like this are so close that no considerable portion of the community can separate itself even tempora- | t rily from the rest in action andsympathy. The old fable ofthe belly and the members is as applicable now as it ever was. Helping the Speculators, The WORLD has asserted that the last call for $15,000,000 of the 8 percent bonds to mature October 1, with the privilege of immediate re- demption, accompanied by the payment of accrued interest upto that date, was in the interest of Wall street speculators. This we are told is an ‘‘unwarrantable insinuation’’ against the integrity of the Treasury Depart- ment. Itis nothing of the kind. Itis simply the statement of a fact. When such a call, un- expectedly, in antagonism with recent avow- President, and without any apparent reason, treads closely upon the heels of a previous street speculators are dreading heavy losses through a money stringency, itis in the in- terest of the speculators whether designed to beso or not. The close relationship between the Treasury and Wall street, in which Treas- urer Jordan is the connecting link, leads to the belief that the relief of the speculators was not accidental. t The World’s Excursions.

They are pleasant to recall, for in them there is nothing to regret. I never did a wrong action in Oneida County or anything I was ashamed of;l never did anything wron anywhere else. Ilived in New Tork until was grown. ThenI started out to make my way inthe world. I went to Michigan and re- lost my wife, and, afterward ill fortune fol- lowed me for years. Through the machina- tions of enemies I was sent to the Indiana fined here. Well, l won't stay here long; and when my trial comes up my innocence of the charge will be proven.

But the officials and detectives give a different version of his lite entirely.

Poskey in a Fit of Insane Jealousy Takes His Life—After a Stormy Scene With His Paramour He Swallows A Dose of Rough on Rats’’—Pathetic Scene at the Morgue— The Woman's Story. Driven to desperation by the action of a woman ot the town, Charles A. Poskey to- day ended what might have been a successful life with a dose of Rough on Rats. He took the drug in a disreputable house, suffered from it in a prison cell and died at the City Dispensary. He was a man 28 years of age, large and hnadsome and a good dresser. Until recently he had been manager of R. Roths- child Sons’ bar-fixture house at 203 South Fourth street, the headquarters of the firm being in Cincinnati. He received a good salary and spent hie money freely, much of jt being lavished on Dora Marks, the proprietress of an assignation house here. While his position-and money lasted he wasa fair-haired boy, and every- thing in the pla was at his command, but when out of work and cash he found matters changed and his absence became more welcome than his presence at the Marks mansion. The sudden change in his affairs had a very serious effect on Pos- key, who, alwaysafree drinker, now became anabsolute drunkard, — intoxicated ul - most constantly since he lost his position, His conduct only served to ENRAGE THE MARKS WOMAN and serious difficulties began to arise between the eratwhile lovers. Like most other ideals of women of her character, Poskey had a pen- chant for making things lively for Mme. Marks, and last Tuesda they had a pitched battle in whic he was the aggressor and she acted purely on the detensive. Asaresultof their set-to she had him arrested on a charge of assault and bat- tery. He was taken tothe Four Courts, but was bailed out by the saloon-keeper on Twelfth street and Chouteau avenue. After being bailed out Poskey did not lie idle long, but this moghing again opened the hos- tilities. He wagen the Marks house, 1008 Chouteau avenue and got into a wrangle with the object of his regard. They fussed and quarreled for some time, and then Poskey, in a fit of rage, proceeded to break up the furniture. Plates. saucers, cups, chairs and everything else were soon flying about through the air in the liveliest manner, aud it was not long before between fifty and one hundred dollars’ worth of Dora’s property had succumbed to his prowess, * and lay on the floor completely "wrecked. She summoned the police and turned her lover overto them. Officer Campion making the arrest. Poskey was taken tothe Four Courts where he was locked upin thé holdover, while the fair Dora or Mrs. F. D. Marks, as she gave her Baame to Mr. Dirkes, swore to information for a war- rant charging him with the malicious destruc- tion of fifty dollars worth of her personal property. WHEN PLACED UNDER ARREST Poskey remarked to Officer Campion: ‘‘I am out ofajob now and she don’t want me any more because I have no money for her.’’ This was ali he said, and appeared rather stupified, as though drunk. ‘At the station he gave his correct name and stated that he was 28 years of age and a native of this country. After taking out the warrant the Marks woman returned to her home, where her servant informed her that after breaking the furniture in the house and before his arrest, Poskey had taken a white powder of some kind in a glass of water. Then a box which had contained tough on Rats was found empty, and it was immediately surmised that he had taken that powerful poison. An officer was immediately summoned and the box given him to bring to the Four Courts. On the way to the Four Courts the man had vomited twice, and this confirmed the suspicion that he had taken poison. When he had been asked if he was sick he had made no reply. but after the dis- covery of the box, Capt. Hercules had an am- balance summoned to convey the man to the City Dispensary. When the police went down to the hold-over to get him, they found him stupified. All that could be gotten out of him was a groan: ‘‘OhIam so sick.’’ He was carried upstairs and lifted into the ambulance, his legs being too limp to support his body. Then he was driven to the Oity Dispensary, where Drs. Dorsett and Goebel examined him and pronounced him beyond medical aid. Every evidence of the dreadful drug was visible and the unfortunate man presented a pitiful sight as he lay there suffering the tortures of the damned. Morphine injec- tions were administered, although the doctors said it was all useless, as t man would soon die. At 11:05 o’clock he expired and his body was taken down to the Morgue. ACCORDING TO MRS. MARKS’ story the trouble between her and Poskey arose this morning over her refusal to give him 10 cents to purchase a drink, he breakin the furniture for revenge. She is welk Known to the and Poskey has been living wit her for some time. She formerly képt a house at 1010 Pine street, but was forced by the police to move. Then she went to No. 1435 Pine street, but was again ordered to move. She next took up her resi- dence at No. 1008 Chouteau avenue, where she still lives. Poskey was lately — ed by asprinkling company here, it is said, the Rothschilds hay- ing closed their St. Louis house. Poskey was formerly from Cincinnati. A PATHETIC SEN. A reporter for the Post-DispatcH called at the house on Chouteau avenue shortly after Poskey ceased to live. Dora Marks answered the ring in person. She isa voluptuous woman, medium. size, about 35 years of age, rather pretty—gray eyes, blond hair and with an intelligent expression. Her face was quite red from excessive weep- ing and when questioned as to the circum- stances which led to the suicide of her para- mour she made no ae whatever excepting a low wail of Oh, he is dead! Oh, he is dead! This she repeated and reiterated in a pathetic manner. A police officer called and escorted her to the Morgue, together with the servant. On the way she was hysterical, still refusing to answer questions or to discuss the subject of Poskey’s death. Arrived at the dead- house the keeper led her into the small room in which the remains of her dead lover lay stretched upon the table. There she lost all control of herself, and when she approached the corpse, drew aside the sheet that covered him and beheld his features, blackened and _ distorted by the violent action of the drug he had swallowed, her feelings gave way. She fell upon the body, kissed it, fondled it, gently stroked the face and the black hands, weep- ing and moaning all the time. It she had cared but little for the man while he lived, the sor- Tow she manifested over his corpse was cer- tainly genuiue.

At night Rev. by Rev. J. P. Jay of Tennessee. The convention metthis morning at9 a.m. The day was opened by prayer by Rev. W. A. Burch of Ohio. The business began at 9:15, with Dr. W. J. Simmons of Kentucky in the chair. A hymn, Oh, Where Are the Reapers That Garner In?’’ was sung. Scripture was then read by Rev. C. T. Walker of Georgia, after which followed a prayer by Rev. J. A. Stuart of Topeka, Kan. Prof. W.J. Harvy of Kentucky then sang from the gospel hymns Christ Returneth.’’ A meeting of the correspondence committee was then called by the chairman, Rev. W. A. Burch. The same gentleman moved that the reporting of vice-presidents from States be deferred until the afternoon session. After some debate anda motion to lay on the table the motion to postpone was lost and the call proceeded. THE FOLLOWING VICE-PRESIDENTS from States responded: Alabama, A. F. Owens; Arkansas, J. T. White; Florida, A. C. Bailey; Georgla, G. H. Dwilla; Louisiana, A. S. Jackson; Mississippi, G. W. Gayles; Ohio, Wallace Shelton; Tennessee, R. A. Huffman; Illinois, W. H. Harrison; Indiana, E. II. Fletcher; Kansas, A. Fairfax; Colorado, Wm. Gray; Wyoming, Z. T. Thistle; Misseuri, W. O. Brooks; Kentucky, G. W. Dupree. After the call of States for vice-presidents the col- lection of the 51 fee imposed upon the dele- gates was proceeded with, and the sum of $78.25 was paid in. Rev. T. C. Walker of Georgia moved that all who had failed to pay the $1 fee be debarred from participating in the proceedings. A motion to lay on the table was lost and a debate ensued on the motion. The discussion was cut short by a call for the regular order of business, which had been reported by the Committee on Programme. The regular order of business which was as follows was then taken up: 1. Reading of paper by Rev. R. DeBaptiste of Illinois on Baptist Statistics. Discussion twenty minutes. 2. Address by Miss L. W.

DE BAPTISTE, the first speaker, read a paper, giving a re- markably full report on the numerical and financial condition of the fraternity in the various States. The paper was scholarly and concise, and was listened to with the greatest attention. The delegates consumed the time allotted to his paper, and, on motion of Mr. Dupee of r? the time was extended. In recapit- ulation the speaker said that there were 300 colored Baptist associations in the United States. Full reports were not had from these associations. wo hundred and seventy-nine which did report showed a membership of 972,994, as a careinlave e ofthe non reporting associations, swelling that mumber to 1,019, 316. The meager reports on the finan cial condition showed a possession of church property valued at $1,309,982. There were sixteen institutions of learning founded in the interest of the colored Baptists. Of these three were founded by the colored peo- ple themselves and had at their heads colored men. There were in the interest of the frater- nity nineteen religious periodicals. At the conclusion of the address Mr. Burch made an eloquent speech indorsing the paper, and concluded with a motion for fs printing Thegconvention then arose and sang the Dox- ology with a fervor and musical cadence that only 4 enthusiastic people of their race can give it. Themorning session closed with an eloquent and thrilling prayer by the venerable old minister, Mr. Dupee, and a re- cess was taken until 2 p. m. THE AFTERNOON SESSION, The convention met again shortly after 2 o’clock and proceeded with the order of business. The first in the programme was the paper of Miss Smith on the ‘‘Future Colored Girl,’’ which was full of sensible suggestions for the members of the weaker sex of the race. It called out an in- teresting discussion. Grocers and Grocers’ Clerks. An entertainment and lunch was given last night bythe St. Louis Mutual and Benevolent Association of Grocers and Grocers’ Clerks, at their hall on Pine and Fourth streets. The affair was well attended bythe members and their numerous friends. Due credit is given to William F. Butler, J. P. Walden, President of the association, M. J. Koncen, Paul Max and Julius Axel, for the active vart they took in making the entertainment a success. It was decided, before the festivities took place, to issue a paper denouncing all wholesale grocers who sell at retail, thereby destroying the business of the retail grocer. A motion to this effect was carried unanimously. Cuban Women, Letter in Chicago News. The Cubans are the cleanest people re- — their dress I ever knew.

About a month ago a London physician had a telegram from the wife of a patient at Cannes: Come for consultation; fee, £1,000."The great doctor replied: ‘* Anxious cases; cannot come.’’ Her ladyship seems to have thought that this was but a way of makinga better bargain, for she in- creased her offer in four successive tele- grams, till the last read.

He said: “All the Riviera doctors with English clients met and fixed the fee for a consultation— the consultant coming expressly from London—at 1, 000.“ A check for £1,000 was accordingly presented to him. Call- ing on his way to his traiu next day, merely to say good-bye and inquire after his pa- tient, the lady handed him @n envelope not to be opened till by and by.’’ The doctor said, “I have had my fee.

Later on he found it contained a check for £500—a sum which had no particular relation to the tele- graphic bids. Noristhis all. Four checks came on successive days, their united value being £3,500, all signed by her lady- ship; and at the bank letters were re- ceived preparing the cashier for their pre- sentation.

A Royal Funeral at Cairo. From the Pall Mall Gazette. The Khedive’s grandmother died yester- day morning from paralysis of the heart, and her funeral took place in the after- noon. At 4 o’clock the cortege set out headed by bullocks, which were afterward slaughtered at the mosque and distributed to the poor, with baskets of bread. Then came a guard of mounted police and 150 men of Hervey’s black gendarmerie. These were followed by Egyptian cavalry and artillery and the Seventh and Third Bat- talions of Foot. After these came the Khedive on foot, as chief mourner, ac- companied by Gen. 1 and his staff. Sir H. D. Wolff, Sir Evelyn Baring, with other Ministers and high officials, also followed as mourn- ers. en came the coffin, preceded by boys swinging censers of incense. Lastly followed a crowd of hired weeping women in enormous number. The harem and some private carriages closed the proces- sion.

THE DUCHEss.“ How a Literary Fraud Came Suddenly and Painfully to Grief. e By Telegraph to the PosT-DISPATCH. New YORK, August 26.—Richard K. Owens has a coal office at Madison avenue and Fifty-sixth street, andis a prosperous young man with a charming wife. Last winter Mr. and Mrs. Owens and Mr. and Mrs. C. M. Corn- well boarded in the same hotel in New York, and as Mr. Cornwell was apparently a good fellow and his wife a person of literary taste, the two families became intimate. Mrs. Cornwell wus always in dread of hav- ing her identity with the ‘‘Duchess’’ discov- ered. ToMrs. Owensshe breathed the secret in the strictest confidence. Mrs. Owens could not withhold the delightful news from her friends and Mrs. Cornwell submitted peace- fully to more or less adulation asa penalty of genius. Whenthe summer season opened Mr. and Mrs. Owens went to the Mansion House in Greenwich, Conn., and Mr. and Mrs. Cornwell followed. Before she married Corn- weil, who is the president of a lithographing firm, the fair authoress was N Mrs. Hathaway, and the beautiful Miss Hathaway cume with her mother to the Mansion House. Observant gentlemen of leisure, who are guests, observed that mother and daughter soon became jealous of Mrs. Uwens’ social prestige, and that they ex- pressed the opinion that it was a shame how married women are all the rage nowadays. On Monday night there was a progressive euchre party at the hotel. Mr. Cornwell was in the city and Mr. Owens, becoming bored with such innocent dissipation, retired early. Their wives were opponents in the same set, The critical trick of the robber game hung in the balance of the chance. Mrs. Owens threw down the ace of diamonds, Mrs. Cornwell COPPERED IT WITH A TRUMP CARD. Mrs. Owens almost wept. Then she said: **You ought to have played that trump before; you didn't follow suit.’’ Now, Owens, don’t be captious,’’ retorted Mra. Cornwell. ‘<Don’t call me Owens; don’t be so familiar,” exclaimed that lady. A feminine altercation ensued. The ladies called each other names,and Mrs. Owens went upstairs in tears. Her sobs awoke her husband. wio, on being asked if he was going to suffer his wife to be brow-beaten, even by a Duchess, dressed himself and went down- stairs. Heexpostulated with Mrs. Cornwell and in trying to pour oil on the troubled waters narrowly escaped getting his ears pulled. Strange to s@y, ai. the guests sided with Mrs. Owens, and Mrs. Cornwell sent a telegram to New York. Her husband arrived on the fol- lowing day. Cornwell weighs 180 pounds to Mr. Owens’ 140, and can sboot glass balls and Pigeons with a revolver. Mr. Owens was in the office talking to the hotel proprietor when Cornwell entered. lou insulted my wife, he shouted, I'll give you an opportunity to apologize.’ ‘Nonsense,’ replied Owens, I never in- sulted a lady in my lite. Then in fifteen minutes I shall expect to meet you behind the barn, with either pistols or Swords, said Cornwell. ‘*T refuse to fizht,’’ replied Owens. „Then take that, you coward, said the publisher, striking Owens in the face with his open hand, , Mine Host Stackhouse saw a fight and leaped over the counter. Before he could interfere, however, Owens had lit out with his right and THE BIG MAN STAGGERED BACKWARD. His leit eye rapidly assumed the colar of an- thracite. Covered with mortification he tled to his room and appeared yesterday for the first time with his eye neatly frescoed in flesh tints. His troubles were not at an end. Sey- erul gentiemen, guests of the hotel, met him und offered to give him all the satisfaction he desired. One of them is a Cuban, with an in- ternational record as a duellist. Then Mine ost Stackhouse gave Cornwell to understand that unless he paid his hotel bill of several weeks maturity, he must surrender his per- sonal effects and leave. He might leave any- how without giving offense. This, it is un- — Mr. and Mrs. Cornwell will do to- ay. Mrs. Cornwell is not the ‘Duchess,’ said Mr. Norman L. Monroe, the publisher, yes- terday. ‘‘she may be a writer of great ability but Il never heard of her. Some month ago, I sent to Mrs. Argles, who is the ‘Duchess,’ through Mr. Langler, publisher, $150 asa sort of gratuitous royalty. I have since learned that the firm appropriated the money. I trust that this divuigence of the trne identity of the ‘Duchess’ will deter future aspirants for anonymous honors from filching her good name, which is her only fortune.’’ Owens is a very modest gentieman, and says he never hit a man with so much success in all his past life. e deprecates the affair ex- ceedingly and so does Mr. Cornwell.

Caylor is Heard from Once More-—Standing of Clubs in the League and Association—Sporting News— Base Ball Talk. CHICAGO, August 26.—At the meeting of the National Base Ball League, last night, there was a lengthy discussion concerning measures which are to insure the permanency of all League clubs for the remainder of the playing season. The following resolution relative to this point was finally adopted: Resolved, That the President of the League be requested and authorized to appoint a committee of three representatives of League clubs, who shall be empowered to consider and determine all questions relative to the release and employ- ment of players at present under cortract with any ague club, the decision of such committee in all cases to be final; such com- mittee to have the power in case of the with- drawal of any club from the League or in case of its expulsion, to provide for the apportion- ment of its players among the remaining clubs as in the opinion of such committee the best interests of the League may reduire; the power and duties of such committee to con- tinue until further action by the League. Each and every club in the League is hereby bound by the action of this meeting and by this reso- lution, and in the event of its release of any player such committee shall be the sole arbiterasto the club by whom such player may be employed. Such committee shall be, and is hereby au- thorized and empewered in event of any club desiring to sever its franchise and contracts with players to purchase the same and to play the players thereof in the same city, or in any city, as they may deem for the best interests of the League; and all games played by such club shall be considered and treated as League games, as though played under the present schedule and counted as championship games. In the event of any club disbanding or with- drawing from the League, or forfeiture of its membership therein, said committee shull have the power to dispose of its franchise and players as in case of purchase thereof. Any action of such committee to be effectual shall be unanimous. Messrs. Spalding, Day and Molony were ap- pointed members of the committee provided for in the resolution, and then the meeting adjourned. THE LOCAL SITUATION. Mr. Chalmer C. Colman, business manager of Colman’s Rural World, is interesting him- self very heartily in the formation of the new stock company. Yesterday he secured the following gentlemen as subscribers tor one share each: Col. G. J. Chapman, O. M. Nap- ton, Col. L. A. Clarke, Judge McCaffrey, Henry Lihon, Dr. T. E. Holland, F. W.

From appearances, however, the Pittsburg men are going todo some tall hustling. I was told that the follow- ing stockholders of the Smoky City club had been in private consultation at the Tremont House: W. A. Nimick, W. H. B. Phillips and A. K. Scamdrett. Spalding of the Chicagos Was there. He wouldu't talk. Neither would the clerks. The club-room was engaged Tuesday night and a meeting was held there- in. Who were present is conjecture. It is safe to say that none ofthe directors of the Pitts- burg Club were present, although remarks to the contrary were circulated in the corridor. St. Louis wants to come in with the Browns. „The Louisvilles also, said a Spalding man, but Pittsburg is a ball town, and look at their batteries: Galvin and Miller, Morris and Car- roland Handiboe. Aren’t they good men? The fielders are great, and their batting aver- age is near the top. The Browns beating them! The Maroons haven’t gotthe $20,000, Should Nimick and Phillips do the square thing, Pittsburg will be a League city.’’ What show have the Browns, Cincinnatis and Louisvilles?’’ was asked. The Browns are satisfied. Von der Ahe is making money, and don’t want to leave, Neither do the others. But owing to Pitts- burg's energy, it will get it should the Maroons fail to pony up.’’ —, HE NEEDS A COACHER. O. P. Caylor of Cincinnati Tells a Few Un- truths About Latham. Foralongtime O. P. Caylor of Cincinnati has been silent. He has not been heard from since, at one fell swoop, three weeks ago, he disposed of the League by Saying that body would continue to go on year after year in its present condition and the talk of the proph- ecied changes was rot. He has appeared again in the arena, but what he says is hardly worth the notice, but for the fear that som might believe him. On this occasion he ‘Ska: Agam was Walsh’s attention called yester- dav (Tuesday) to Latham’s senseless and at times brutal chatter. It Mr. Walsh is an um- pire who knows his business he knows that no pares of a nine while in the field has a right to keep talking for the 3 of disconcerting batters of the opposite side. That is as plain asA, 7 Yesterday Mr. Walsh was asked to stop Latham except when he was coaching his own men, but he refused to do it. And yet be has subscribed to an oath to enforce the a. e, 8. Lo 90 n St. Louis hasbeen suppre His chatter became so disgusting 28 Louis crowds that they hissed him down. It is only away from home that he does what he in his egotism and stuck-on-himself ideas thinks On the contrary, to the better class or ball attendants the young man is looked — aa vulgar and rowdyish. One of remarks from the coacher’s lines, yesterday, is unworthy to fall from the lips of decent ball player. He shouted, ‘Go on; bt be protected. Can the interests of his Comiskey and Gleason in a respectable man- his club’s interests mig nothedo as mach for brother clubs? Charley or n can coach er at least. 95 Every statement made above in reference to Latham in St. Louis is wrong. — — 2 not disgusted; they have not hiss : s+ e : not suppressed, and Mr. Von der Ahe has no sat down upon him. On the rr ot the 2 verse is quſte true. A glance at the score o the game referred to will explain O. P. axles 3 ebul lition of wrath. It was in th series in St. Louis, Latham and Miller, the Pitteburg catcher, furnished the fun for the crowd. Mr. Phillips did not complain of Latham’s antics, and the chances are that O. P. Caylor would not do so either had he a man who could coach go well as the lively third- baseman. The Umpire Question. Our big base ball moguls and stockholders, says a writer inthe New York Journal, have @one great things for base ball during the last halt score years. The game has developed, greater players are springing up daily and the game as steadily improved except as far as umpir- ing is concerned. The ignorance, stinginess or indifference of the managers prevents the appointment of competent men, and the game suffers in consequence. To secure an ap- pointment as umpire an appli- cant must have influence. When he secures his appointment through the manager of some club it is only natural to look upon the children of that manager with favor, and when there are any close decisions the appointee gets the benetit of them. Good base ball players receive salaries ranging from $1,500 to $5,000 a year, yet umpires, whose du- ties require double the amount of brains and tact, only receive on an average of $1,000 a year. Ifthe managers will put their heads to- gether and double the present salary, and se- lect competent men, the present trouble could be avoided. Intelligent men could be ap- pointed, and then the players and spectators ut games could easily be taught to respect the decisions of the umpire. A wail is going up all over the country: Protect the umpires.’’ What is wanted 15 protection from um- pires. The umpires do not suffer half as much us the public. Gossip of the Game. O’ Neil is batting as well as ever. The Maroons will play with the New Yorks to-morrow at the Union Park. The Metropolitan Club has engaged J. J. — of the Hartford Club to play second ase. If the Maroons stockholder-scheme isa suc- — the club will be run ona purely business asis. Caruthers’ batting column yesterday showed that he did not make a single hit. Bobby bats in streaks. The Mets cannot play Sunday games. They always get beaten. [Mail and Express.] What's the matter with week days? The Bali Players’ Union has, it is said, a sensation ready for the League, which it will explode some time in October. Between now andthe close of the season, the Browns will meet the Pittsburgs three yames, and the Louisvilles, six. Young lady on grand stand: ‘‘Nine chances in the afternoon! How perfectly splendid. How I would like to be a ball player!“ The only“ Nolan opened in great style in the Eastern League until the Betdgepors nam mered him on Wednesday for 13 hits, with a total ot 16. Gus Williams recently umpired a game at Mt. Clements, Mich., and it is rumored that he decided the game a ‘‘draw’’ on account of the large crowd present. There is a tight race between Brouthers, Connor, Anson and Richardson for the leadin the League batting record. O' Rourke and Thompson are not far behind. The adoption of that ‘‘committee’’ rule by the League at yesterday’s meeting shows that the League is not over particular about the in- dividual interests of the clubs, Clarkson now has the League strike - out record for the season so far, but one below Kamsey, the Association pitcher. The latter truck out seventeen Mets while Clarkson cuused sixteen Cowboys to fan the air. On Sunday week the Waltons will play the Madisons at Edwardsville for the benefit of voung Hauser who broke his leg in last Sun day's game. Next Sunday the Waltons will play the Charter Oaks ut Amateur Park. if Crane, the Washingtons' long distance thrower, could find a catcher who could hold him successfully, he would certainly make a greut piteher. Such a catcher, . however, cannot be found. Kilroy complains of the saine trouble. Such work as Will Murphy has done with the not only phenominal, but is far ahead of any batting record. He has played in 25 games to date, made 28 runs, 45 hits, with atotal of 90, in 117 times at bat. His batting average is 384, with a total of .769. He has made eight doubles, eight triples, seven home runs.

Maud S. has not yet been driven a full mile as fast as she can go,’’ said Robert Bonner re- cently,‘ ‘althougb I drove her a mile inz:14\% to a wagon last week, and my weight is thirty pounds more than the regulation. Tuis is the fastest time that any horse has ever made, eitherin publicor private, to wagon. Mr. Vanderbilt once drove her a mile in 2:15 in double harness, which is the fastest time ever made in double harness, but on that occasion she carried toe weights to balance her gait, whereas when I drove her she had just piain shoes without weights. The other day in an exercising mile she trotted the last quarter in 31 seconds without the weights. She is doing better in her training this season than she ever did before, and we shall probabiv give her a fast mile in pubiic.’’ Races at the Beach.

The last trial race between the Mayflower, the Puritan, the Priscilla and the Puritan, sailed in order to determine which yacht shall defend America’s cup against the Galatea, was finished yesterday afternoon. At 4:50:45 the Mayflower crossed the finish line first. thus winning the race and the distinction also. The first of the international races will be sailed on September 7. Stevens Heard From Again. A Calcutta dispatch to the London Times says: Mr. Stevens, an American gentleman who is attempting to travel around jthe world on a bicycle, has arrived in India and has published an interesting account of his ad- ventures in Afghanistan, Finding that the Russians would not allow bim to carry out his original plan of proceeding by Merv to the Oxus, he applied to Sir West hidgeway for permission to join the camp of the bound. ary commission with a view of finding his way thence to India. Sir West Ridgeway replied that the plan was impracticable. Thereupon Mr. Stevens went from Meshed southward to Birjan, where he succeeded in crossing the Afghan frontier and reaching Farrah, Thence he hoped to go to Quetta by wayof Candahar, but the Governor de- tained him and eventually sent him to Herat. He was kept some days outside Herat, and was then sent under escort to the Persian frontier. The attempt to ride across Afghan- istan was thus baffied. Mr. Stevens roposes to wheel himself to Lahore and to Calcutta and then go by sea to Canton, to ride to North- ern China on his bicycle ship for Japan and * — 1 finally to take — The Final Excursion.

Church Charity Viewed from the Standpoint of the Unfortunate Applicants—A Sad Story Giving Material for a Social Study _ —-Warding Off Starvation. Does Mrs, Bell live here?’’ asked a PostT- DISPATCH reporter while canvassing the row on the north side of Wash street just west of old Twenty-third street. The inquiry was directed at a boy who stood in the hallway of one of the houses at the above location. ‘*Le’me see,“ replied the youth cogitatively. The Ballards lives in the back room down stairs, them new folks lives in front—oh Mrs, Bell you mean—second story back.’’ With this burried direction the boy started up the narrow staircase with a hop-skip movement that made the visitor’s blood run cold as he calculated on the liability of stray tacks being strewn alongthe dark stairs. The patter ofthe ur- chin’s bare feet died away on the third landing while the reporter cautiously mounted to the second, where a voice in the gloom asked: Inquiring for Mrs. Bell, just step into that rotm. Help yourselfto afan, you’ll find on the mantel. I will see you in a moment.“ The reporter walked into a darkened room as directed while the lady explained that the apartment was rented to a girl who worked during the day and allowed her to use the room in the tenant’s absence A few moments later a small, elderly woman, neatly dressed in a light calico waist and dark skirt, appeared at the door of the room. SUPPORTING HERSELF WITH ONE HAND against the wail, she laboriously worked her way to the front of the room, where she limped toa chair and, almost exhausted by the effort, sat down out of breath. I move with great difficulty,’’ she said. ‘‘l have al- most lost the use ot my limbs from working the sewing machine. I want to thank the Post-DisratcnH for calling attention to the sewing girls’ condition. I always read the papers. It is my only luxury. Nou do not tell half the hardships of these poor girls, who have too many acquaintances, and are too proud to speak for themselves. I think Iam qualified to speak for them. I have worked with the sewing women of this city for nine years. Ihave lost the use of my limbs from working the foot-board of the machine. I know what they suffer and am qualified to speak for them. I have no relatives and few acquaintances. Im old, diseased, have but 4 few years to live at most, and consequently Iam not prevented from telling my own and their sufferings by any feelings of pride. I would rather not attract attention to myself by any publication, but if it will result in good to even afew ofthis deserving class of girls 1 will be satisfied. Something must be done. THE LIST OF WAGES published in the PosT-DISPATCH last evening was in some instances higher than is usually paid, hough in the main correct. Any wife or mother who has made these garments must Know what a poor living is left for the sewing women at these rates. Yet they are higher than what is actually paid in some instances. One day last week I answered an advertisement for sewing. Icould not use the thread they gave me, it broke on the machine. Ihad to buy my oon thread. I got 6 cents for making twenty- seven shirts. I tell yousomething must be done. There are a great many good people in this city who would do something if they knew the real condition of things. They don’t know this side of city life, and they doubt the genuineness of the representations made to them by any individuals. Letmegive you my life. It will serve to illustrate tbat of a great many more unfortunate women. Nine years ago lleft my home and came to this city to earn my living by my needle. When I was coming away the pastor of our church, a good man, who was always as ready to give help in worldly matters as advice in spiritual ones, gave me a letter of introduction to one of the Presbyterian ministers of this city. I don’t mention these things with ny feeling of re- sentment, but only to show how these people are MISTAKEN IN THEIR JUDGMENT and good works. I didn’t intend to use the letter of introduction. I thought a fortune was awaitin me here. While I could get sewing to do, and my health continued good, I worked on, satis- fied to make a living. I began to gradually lose control of my ankles; work was scarce and rent bad taken the last of my savings. canvassed the shops and factories, but could get no work. In this extremity I took my letter. I'll give you the gentleman's name in order that you may knowl am relating areal expe- rience. I guess he is a good man, but has too often been imposed upon. It was a prominent Presbyterian minister. Icalied on him, introduced myself and pre- sented my letters. He received me very pleasantly until 1 told him I was looking for sewing work. Had I slapped him across the face his expression could not have changed more decidedly. He said ‘I have nothing to do with that. The ladies of the church attend to that. I took my departure with too heavy aheartto apply to anybody else that day. This wasthe winter two years ago. There was little work to be had and destitution was very general. My condition was no worse than that of hundreds of others. For two days , I LIVED WITHOUT A BITE OF FOOD. had nothing but black coffee. When reduced to this condition I called on the minister's wife, at her residence. It was cold and sleety early morning whenI called. Idared not attempt the stone steps in front with my weak, dis eased limbs, so I went to the side door. I waited twenty minutes fully in the cold after the girl took my message. The lady, I had been informed, suffered from weak eyes, which, I suppose, accounted for the delay. When I did see her lasked herifshe had any work I could do. She told meshe bad not then, but to come back in twoor three days and she would let me know if she heard ot any. I thanked her and went away. I wasstarving. I called on another minister’s wife. The servant told me I could not see the lady at the side door. I had better go to the front where the colored boy who waited on the door would take my name. I wenttothe front door, but that duy the lady was dressed to go out and I did not see her. Icalled again and saw her. In reply to my request for work she said x dear woman, are you a member of thechurch?’ Itold her that 1 was in spirit, but that I worked six days in the week and often must pray the good Lord to help you.
